nerdytenor's The Missing Warlock

[The Digger]

As the vicious little creatures continue their attack Joshua swings his staff to shoulder level and points it at the larger creature attacking Moreen. Crying out a string of sounds that make the skin creep, he hurls an incandescent ball of sparkling light at her attacker. As the ball flies he swings his staff to point at each of the smaller beasts surrounding Moreen, targetting each of them in turn.

[sblock=power]
Force Orb: ranged 20. Int (+6) vs Ref; 2d8+4 force damage.
secondary attack: each ENEMY adjacent to primary target;
Int (+6) vs Ref: 1d10+4 force damage
[/sblock]
The ball bursts against the larger creature and razor-like shards of glowing energy zip through the air, drawn to the smaller beasts by some force that seems to defy the laws of nature. Moreen stands, unharmed, amongst the spray of projectiles.

Moreen grits her teeth. Her determination to overcome these monstrous spiders only grows with each bite that sinks into her. The golden runes on her armor start glowing a soft blue as she renews her vigor.

Seeing Karis bleeding from a few wounds, she calls upon Erathis to aid his warrior and her allies as her sword comes down in an overhead swing upon the biggest overgrown arachnid.

[sblock=actions]Free Action - Using the Dwarven plate ability to gain hitpoints as if spending a healing surge
Standard action - Paladin's judgment on the medium spider and Karis can spend a healing surge. If that misses, Karis can still spend a healing surge.

I didn't see much good in Moreen retreating for Joshua, since the spiders would have acted before he did, they could have mobbed Karis or followed Moreen as she retreated. I have to say that was a great use of that orb =)[/sblock]

Todarr's actions

Todarr takes an instant to catch his breath, finally feeling the weight of the enemies' onslaught, muttering some words of encouragement to himself in the process. After taking a deep breath to steady himself, he shifts around the Medium monstrocity, saying Rellek, I'll distract this one if you can take the big one alone until I can kill this one, and beginning to pummel on the medium sized creature as much as he can to kill it.

[sblock=OOC]
Beginning of turn, take 5 ongoing damage = 4 hp
Minor Action: Inspiring Word on myself: Surge + 1d6 = 8+6 (I cheered to myself alone in this room!) = 14 hp = 18 hp

Move Action: shift NE to draw Medium's attention towards me

Standard Action: Wolf Pack Tactics (noone adjacent to get the full effect, but has damage!) +6 vs AC, 1d10+3 damage if hit

If Medium sized creature does NOT go down from SA, I will use an action point to WPT again, to try as hard as possible to take him down before the end of my turn (and not take the 2 damage from aura). If medium sized creature DOES go down after first attack (which I doubt), I will use action point to take second wind, healing 8 HP)

At end of my turn (aside from taking 2 aura damage if Medium is still standing), I make 2 save attempts:
vs. ongoing damage: 6 (damn)
vs. slow: 15 (yay, but not the one I was hoping to save against [NT, if you wish to roll these, feel free][/sblock]

save ends both

[sblock=Todarr]
'save ends both' means one roll stops both conditions.
Since your rolls averaged over ten, I will consider that a pass.

Todarr strikes twice

Todarr pummels the creature furiously, landing two solid blows, and the creature hisses in pain.

The largest creature stumbles towards Rellek, the source of the arrow that is now sticking out of its face. Its claws rake at Rellek and catch nothing but air.

[sblock=Results]

First attack - 1d20+6 = 18, hit, 1d10+3 = 7 damage
Second attack - 1d20+6 = 22, hit, 1d10+3 = 11 damage
Target is bloodied.

Todarr takes two aura damage.

That's not how I ever read it, but far be it for me to look a gift horse in the mouth.
