Redclaw's Eyes of the Lich Queen

Talas 20/42hp AC 27

Talas hear the crunch of bone as his twin falls, and he knows he will not be getting up again. A myriad of emotions run through Talas, fear, sadness, and anger. His warrior instincts take over again, he knows in order for him to live through this he must continue to fight. A voice in his head speaks, he knows not who speaks it now, but he knows it speaks from the moment after their birth. “The Flame burns bright in both of them, but more strong in one of them.” Talas yells out, "I wasn't supposed to be me!" He then steps to the side, and increases the speed of his defensive techniques, before swinging out at a blackscale.

[sblock=ooc]5' step to K19, full combat expertise bringing AC to 27 and attack blackscale L1. Luck is on my side right now. attack 21 Damage: 12



Spells remaining: (6/5/3) DC: 12+spell level[/sblock]

 

[Creamsteak]

Drekhad will activate his ring (+1 to hit and damage if I recall correctly) and charge to L20 striking against L2 with a regular attack. He draws Battle Leader's Charge at the end of the round automatically. He doesn't have enough swift actions to bring back white raven tactics and then use it so he'll just have to deal with the circumstances.

Drekhad seems to be unconcerned with Cholas dropping and acts out of fear for his other companions. "Talas, get the hell out of the way. I'll deal with these two."

Ring of Brief Blessing, Charge Attack, AC = 21, Leading the charge. (1d20+10=13, 1d8+9=14)

Since I've put a lot of stuff into this attack, I'll throw an action point at it and hope for the best.

Action Point (1d6=6)

So attack is 19 for 14 damage if that hits.

[sblock=Creamsteak] Ring of Brief Blessing makes a weapon you're using function as both magic and good aligned for a round, so it's primarily about overcoming DR and affecting incorporeal creatures. [/sblock]

 

[OnlytheStrong]

Seeing Cholas fall enrages Bregan. He moves 10ft (onto the trail) and fires at the lizard to Talas' left. He smiles as he sees it strike home, burying itself up to the shaft.



[sblock=action]

I don't know if skirmish does the x3 for a crit or not. Complete adventurer doesn't say that it isn't........ so I went ahead and rolled to confirm.

Bregan moves to L23 and fires at L1.

Bregans attack on L1 (1d20+8=28, 3d6=15)
Roll to confirm crit (1d20+8=23)

To hit: 28
Crit confirm: 23

Ok, I thought that by making the weapon magic for a round it also might give the +1/+1.

 

[Zurai]

Alexa screams when she sees her companion fall, agony and grief clear in her voice. "CHOLAS!" She knows that there was no way for him to have survived a hit of that nature, and the grief of having sent him to his death momentarily staggers her - enough that her next attack overbalances her and nearly sends her sprawling to the ground. Then, her mind snaps back into focus - the Flame has taken him to a better place; I have to concentrate on the challenges in front of me rather than the events of the past - and she manages to turn her stagger into a stunning pirouette that embeds her blade in the lizardman's side.
[sblock=OOC]5' step if necessary, swift action to inspire courage, initiate Crusader's Strike against L3.
Attack and damage rolls (Crusader's Strike), heal roll (1d20+9=15, 1d4+3=4, 1d6+3=4) Again, not sure that a 15 is enough to hit, so here's an AP: Action point for attack roll (1d6=4) A 16 hit last round, so a 19 should hit this round. I hope. (Note: this includes the +1/+1 to hit/damage from her Furious Counterstrike, which isn't figured into the mini-stats block because it drains at the end of her round)

Assuming that hit, it needs to make another DC 15 Will save or be dazed for 1 round.

Automatically draw Stone Bones at the end of her turn (may need that soon...)

As an aside, Invisible Castle really hates me. Min damage, min heal, 6 on the attack roll... Thank goodness for Action Points.[/sblock][sblock=Alexa's mini-stats]ALEXA SHALESS

[Redclaw]

[sblock=onlythestrong] You don't multiply bonus dice with crits (sneak attack, energy damage on flaming/frost weapons, etc. The crit only multiplies the weapon's base damage and the standard bonus you get (from strength, magic enhancement, weapon specialization, etc.) So I'll take the first roll in your damage, the 4, and multiply it, giving you a total damage of 23.

By the way, don't forget that if you roll attack and damage together you can't use an action point to improve the attack.[/sblock]

Blackscales<-- ending here
Talas Starting here
Drekhad
Alexa
Bregan

Talas yells out, "It wasn't supposed to be me!" He then steps to the side, and increases the speed of his defensive techniques, before swinging out at a blackscale. His strike flies true, and the blackscale’s arm takes the full force of Talas’ flail.

Drekhad seems to be unconcerned with Cholas dropping and acts out of fear for his other companions. "Talas, get the hell out of the way. I'll deal with these two." He charges into the fray, opening himself up for an attack as he closes the distance. His target lands a solid blow, aiming for Drekhad’s head and just missing a similar result to that which ended Cholas’ life. It deals 13 damage. The crusader charges through the hit and the pain, and drives his own weapon home into the enemy.

Alexa is momentarily staggered- enough that her next attack overbalances her and nearly sends her sprawling to the ground. Then, her mind snaps back into focus and she manages to turn her stagger into a stunning pirouette that embeds her blade in the lizardman's side.

Seeing Cholas fall enrages Bregan. He moves 10ft (onto the trail) and fires at the lizard to Talas' left. He smiles as he sees it strike home, burying itself up to the shaft and dropping it.

The two remaining lizardmen bellow in anger over the loss of their own companions and swing their mighty clubs, but neither one connects.

Actions?

 

[Creamsteak]

Don't forget that since the delayed damage pool got filled before his attack, Drekhad would have dealt an extra 2 damage. Drekhad keeps on the same target if it's still valid.

Crusader's Strike (1d20+7=13, 1d8+2=4, 1d6+5=10)

Well, I really want the hit points points back while I've got the chance so...

Action Point (1d6=5)

18 to hit for 4 damage and 10 healing, healing directed at Drekhad.

Draconic, "That hurt like hell! Give me another!"

He then yells back at Alexa, "Is that one going to be dead before or after this one?"

Manuevers reset for next round. (1d5=5, 1d4=3)

Talas 20/42 hp AC 27

Keeping his flail spinning around him in defensive arcs, Talas stays on the offensive, electricity arcing around the head of his flail once more. He glances at Bregan, trying to keep from looking at the ruined corpse of his twin. "Go help Alexa, we've got it handled over here. Damn!"He swears as his flail defensive measures keep the whirling head from connecting solidly

[sblock=ooc]channel shocking grasp and attack blackscale(bardic music included in roll)Thats gonna miss finally: 9 Here is the damage for the shocking grasp in case the 9 is enough to get to its touch AC. 15 damage EDIT: nevermind about the elec damage, reread the ooc thread, thought wrong.[/sblock]
