So...
NEW Initiative 31 Winstanley 26 Grey 22 Phrenic 19 Dirty 12 Wraiths & Gelatinous Cube 6 Kaspard
Once again, unseen by the PCs- they come through the walls, a trio of Wraiths appear.
W1- Phase through wall. Shadow Touch Combat Advantage Kaspard; Hit 6 Necrotic (40 HP) & Weakened.
W2- Phase through wall. Shadow Touch Combat Advantage Dirty; Hit 15 Necrotic damage -5 (Resist) = 10 damage (41 HP) & Weakened.
W3- Phase through wall. Shadow Touch Combat Advantage Winstanley; Miss.
Suddenly all of the players are giving me evil looks, I explain that it's only a Level 5 Encounter- this goes down like a lead balloon.
GC- Double Attack- Slam Phrenic; Hit 7 damage (42 HP) and Immobilised & Slam Dirty; Miss. Action Point. Engulf Phrenic; Hit- Ongoing 10 Acid damage and Grabbed & Engulf Dirty; Hit- Ongoing 10 Acid damage and Grabbed.
There was uproar when the Cube used its Action Point- Dave accused me of cheating, oh he's a one.
Kaspard- Weakened. Shift back. Daunting Light W1; Hit 7 Radiant damage +5 (Vulnerable) = 12 damage (25 HP). Healing Word +9 HP Dirty (Full). Save vs Weakened- Success.
