nerdytenor's The Missing Warlock

[nerdytenor]

Joshua's flaming ball explodes, scoring hits on both beasts. One of them whimpers pathetically.

[sblock=Results]
1d20+6=18 vs reflex - hit
1d20+6=24 vs reflex - hit
1d6+5 = 7 damage each.
Northern hound is bloodied.

After a quick glance at her surroundings to confirm there's no other enemies, Moreen draws her sword and hurries to the hounds. She calls out a challenge to one of them as she closes to melee range.

[sblock]2 move actions - get to the hounds
minor action - divine challenge on the southern unbloodied hound[/sblock]

Soooo sorry to all......

network problems yesterday, did not mean to make everyone wait for me....

Since I go, and then the hounds go right after me, Moreen hasn't yet closed on the hounds, and they are still clustered...

Todarr rushes up, double move, so that he gets to the square that is 3 diagonal squares directly SW of H1, then will use his Dragon Breath with his minor action, encompassing both hounds

[sblock=Dragon Breath]+6 vs. Reflex=13+6=19 vs. Reflex, for 1d6+1 damage= 2+1=3 damage to both, if hit[/sblock]

 

[nerdytenor]

Todarr breathes with fire and fury at the hounds, adding new burn injuries to those caused by Joshua.

The two hounds surround Karis, the first one biting at her and just missing her leg, the other tripping over itself clumsily. Karis reacts immediately, neatly slicing into the jaw of the first beast. The second hound lets out a soul-crushing howl, and three more hounds emerge from the forest, charging with unbelievable speed.

The first beast rushes at Todarr from the south, biting with psychotic rage and pulling him to the ground. An unnatural taint lingers in the wound.

The second beast comes from the southwest, and settles on Rellek, but Rellek dodges the beast's attacks easily.

The third beast emerges from the northwest, and bites into Mardrick, who utters a shrill scream. He falls to the ground, staring at his now-bleeding arm in disbelief. "Help! Get this thing off me! It hurts! God it hurts! Waaaugh..."

[sblock=Todarr]
Fyi, you need to roll an attack roll for each target (and one damage roll, as you did). I rolled your second attack roll 13+6 = hit as well.

[sblock=Moreen]
I am canceling your last action since I figured you might want to change it given the new circumstances.

Moreen spins on her heels on hearing the warlock's cries for help. She steps over to engage the hound attacking him. She calls on Erathis's name and challenges the beast as she closes the distance.

[sblock=actions]move action - get to the third hound.
minor action - divine challenge on the hound

standard action - If the hound has a grab on Mardrick, then I suppose that Moreen would first try to break it if she can. I'm not sure how that would work. Would Moreen do a grab attack of her own on the hound or an aid another action for Mardrick's escape roll?

If Mardrick isn't grabbed by the hound, then Moreen will Holy Strike it.[/sblock]

 

[covaithe]

Karis, realizing that her friends will not likely be coming to her assistance quite as quickly as she had planned, draws deeply on her inner resources to unleash a flurry of attacks against the two hounds in front of her.

[sblock=ooc]Standard: Attack H1 with torturous strike: +9 vs. AC, hits AC 11 for... ah, never mind the damage. Grr.
Action Point: Attack H1 again, assuming the 11 doesn't somehow miraculously drop it. Riposte strike, no CA. +9 vs. AC, hits AC 26 for 12 damage, and the riposte, if needed, hits AC 9. Argh. That's the third natural 2 I've rolled since IC came back up, out of four d20 rolls. I liked it better when it was rolling too many 20s. Ah, well; I think there's a good chance the 12 damage will drop H1.
Move: Shift NE. Not sure if the flowers are difficult terrain or not, but Karis ignores difficult terrain when shifting, so doesn't matter.

Powers used: AP, Torturous Strike, Elven Accuracy

Moreen spins on her heels on hearing the warlock's cries for help. She steps over to engage the hound attacking him. She calls on Erathis's name and challenges the beast as she closes the distance, striking with holy power. The beast hit, howling with more pain than the attack would indicate.

Karis, realizing that her friends will not likely be coming to her assistance quite as quickly as she had planned, draws deeply on her inner resources to unleash a flurry of attacks against the two hounds in front of her. She misses one hound, but hits the other. It makes one final bite attack at Karis, misses, and dies for good.

Mardrick, looking pale now, gets to his feet, and backs away, putting Moreen between himself and the beast. He looks like he could drop any second. He curses the hound who wounded him.

Rellek, in the fight at last, strikes twice with his axes at one of the newly arrived beasts, hitting once.

[sblock=OOC]
Hounds are vulnerable 5 radiant.
They don't grab from a mechanics standpoint. (just some flavor).
Flowers are difficult terrain, yes.
