Redclaw's Eyes of the Lich Queen

[EvolutionKB]

Talas 42/42

Talas moves closer to the lizardman, electricity arcs up the chain of his flail and dances around the spiked head of the weapon. There is a resounding crunch at the flail connects, as well as the smell of scorched flesh.

[sblock=ooc]Channel a shocking grasp again. Move to C9.Nat 20, possible crit, total 31 to hit Crit confirm: 17...using an AP 3 on the AP, total for confirm is 20 If a crit 41 damage, if not a crit 31 damage That should do it.[/sblock]

OOC: Can Alexa see the poison dusks yet? Specifically PD1.

She can see PD1 and the Lieutenant, but don't forget the 20% miss chance on ranged attacks, or the 2 squares of movement for 1 square of undergrowth entered.

 

[Zurai]

Satisfied that Bregan would last at least a few minutes due to her prayer, Alexa sets her gaze on one of the attackers. With a softly-spoken "Hasten my steps." she speeds along the path and through the underbrush to get into striking range of one of the attackers. Seeming to draw strength from the very ground under her feet, she lashes out with her wickedly curved blade and scores a solid blow across the creature's forearm.

[sblock=Rolls]Activating her sandals of sprinting to move next to PD1 and attack. Attack roll (Stone Bones) (1d20 9=21) Damage roll (1d4 3=4). Using Stone Bones; Alexa has DR 5/adamantine until her next turn assuming that 21 hits.[/sblock]

Round 3

22—Lieutenant
21—Talas
20—Drekhad 44/48 hp (10 in ddp)
17—Cholas
16—Bregan 32/42 hp
13—Alexa
6—Poison Dusks

The lizardman near Drekhad backs away from the crusader, seemingly unhappy with being confronted in melee.

Talas moves closer to the lizardman, electricity arcs up the chain of his flail and dances around the spiked head of the weapon. There is a resounding crunch at the flail connects, as well as the smell of scorched flesh. The lizardman’s screech of pain is cut short as the electricity of Talas’ spell ends its existence.

Drekhad is left without a target for his maneuvers, so he double moves to try to follow the lizardman. (Let me know if you want to do something else, CS).

Cholas moves closer to the lizardman on the opposite side of the trail and fires an arrow at it. His arrow bites into the scaled flesh of the creature.

Bregan continues to lie there, unable to move.

Satisfied that Bregan would last at least a few minutes due to her prayer, Alexa sets her gaze on one of the attackers. With a softly-spoken "Hasten my steps." she speeds along the path and through the underbrush to get into striking range of one of the attackers. Seeming to draw strength from the very ground under her feet, she lashes out with her wickedly curved blade and scores a solid blow across the creature's forearm.

The remaining lizardman, bleeding from two wounds, steps back and pulls something out of his pouch. He bares his teeth at Alexa and then starts to swing the device (a reed attached to a long string) around his head. A piercing whistle emanates from the reed.
[sblock=draconic] Now Varmystix know you here. Rashaak be killing you soon. [/sblock]

Actions?

 

[Zurai]

Alexa's lips draw back in a snarl as the lizardman taunts her, and she lunges forward with a wordless shout, landing another telling blow.
[sblock=rolls]Maneuver granted is Vanguard Strike by default. She'll go ahead and use it, so if her attack doesn't drop PD 1 everyone else will have +4 to hit it (on top of the +2 from Inspire Courage) until her next turn. Attack roll (Vanguard Strike) (1d20+9=25) Damage roll (1d4+3=7) (note that I forgot to change the text from Attack Roll to Damage Roll on the 2nd roll in IC. Oops.)
Maneuvers refresh at end of turn: Maneuvers (1d5=1, 1d4=1) That's Crusader's Strike and Vanguard Strike.[/sblock]

[sblock=rolls]Maneuver granted is Vanguard Strike by default. She'll go ahead and use it, [/sblock]

[sblock=Zurai] You don't get your new maneuver until the end of your turn, so you can't use Vanguard Strike until next turn. [/sblock]

 

[EvolutionKB]

Talas 42/42 hp

"One down," Talas says grimly. He moves from the blood covered undergrowth and up the trail towards Drekhad.

[sblock=ooc]Move to G5[/sblock]

 

[Creamsteak]

"This is just great."

Double move to get on top of the lieutenant again.

Manuevers (1d5=4, 1d4=1)

All expended manuevers are no-longer expended. Two new granted manuevers. I believe that's Stone Bones and Battle Leader's Charge.

[sblock=Redclaw]Actually, I've been rolling for maneuvers at the starts of my turns, which is incorrect as you noted. I got the Vanguard Strike at the end of my last turn (round 3).
Breakdown:
Started encounter with Leading the Attack and Douse the Flames.
Round 1, Inspired Courage, gained Stone Bones.
Round 2, healed Bregan, gained Crusader's Strike.
Round 3, attacked PD1 with Stone Bones, gained Vanguard Strike.
Round 4, attacked PD1 with Vanguard Strike, maneuvers reset, gained Crusader's Strike and Vanguard Strike.

I'll make sure to do and note everything correctly from now on. Sorry.[/sblock]

[sblock=zurai] No worries. There are always a few wrinkles to work out. That's what the first combat is for, right? I'll go ahead and use your action with Vanguard Strike then.[/sblock]
