Redclaw's Eyes of the Lich Queen

[Redclaw]

[sblock=ooc] Note to all, in keeping with the Eberron Campaign Setting's explanation of action points, I would really prefer that you not roll damage before you decide if you're going to use an action point. It can really color the decision. I know it's easier with Inivisible Castle to roll attack and damage simultaneously, but I'm going to ask that if you have any thought of using an AP that you roll the attack, make the decision, then roll the damage.

Thanks.

Bregan turns and fires at the creature battling Alexa. He releases his arrow too soon, and it flies well wide of his mark.

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

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.

Drekhad presses his attack against the lizardfolk that is still standing near him, driving his sword home again. 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?"

Bregan turns and fires at the creature battling Alexa. He releases his arrow too soon, and it flies well wide of his mark.


Waiting on Alexa before the beasties go. There is no change in the map as yet, so I didn't upload it.

Still in shock at the loss of her friend and companion, Alexa abandons herself to the battle-dance, whirling and spinning in a display both beautiful and terrible to behold. Again and again her wickedly curved knife finds openings in the giant lizardman's guard, and the splashes of blood on the surrounding terrain become a macabre artform of their own. Her performance is the only response she gives to her audience.
[sblock=OOC]Stone Bones against L3: Attack roll (Stone Bones) (1d20+8=21), Damage roll (Stone Bones) (1d4+2=3)

Assuming that 21 hit, Alexa has DR 5/- for 1 round and L3 has to make another DC 15 Will save or be dazed for 1 round.

Alexa<-- Starting here


Still in shock at the loss of her friend and companion, Alexa abandons herself to the battle-dance, whirling and spinning in a display both beautiful and terrible to behold. Again and again her wickedly curved knife finds openings in the giant lizardman's guard, and the splashes of blood on the surrounding terrain become a macabre artform of their own. Her performance is the only response she gives to her audience. The lizardfolk succumbs to her assault and collapses in a bloody heap.

The remaining creature turns its attention to Drekhad and unleashes a mighty swing with its club, but the crusader easily turns it aside.

 

[Creamsteak]

If it's still alive, Drekhad steps to M20, swings and fails to hit.

Attacking with Mountain Hammer. (1d20+7=10)

He uses White Raven Tactics on Talas as well.

Manuever drawn was stone bones if it comes up. I lost the roll but I'm sure it's under Drekhad at invis-castle.

 

[OnlytheStrong]

Bregan sees the lizard fall with grim satisfaction, he turns and unleashes at the remaining creature.

[sblock=actions]Bregan will simply turn and shoot. I used an action point just to make sure his attack hit.

Attack roll on last lizardman. (1d20+8=16)
Action point for attack roll and dmg (1d6=4, 1d6=6)

To hit: 16 + 4 = 20
Dmg: 6

Talas 20/42 AC 27/22

Talas keeps his flail spinning around him defensively, the blur the weapon makes blocks the spreading pool of blood from his dead twin. He grunts as he abruptly changes the angle of the spin of the weapon to aim towards the blackscale.

[sblock]Continue to use combat expertise for full. AC 27. Attack roll: 9 [/sblock]

Spurred on by Drekhad's advice Talas moves in for the kill, sacrificing some defense for more offense. Lightning dances off his flail, making his short hair stand up as he whirls his flail near his head before sending it in an upward motion towards the blackscale's jaw.

[sblock]WRT turn, dropping combat expertise, channeling shocking grasp. Attack 19 Oops, was thinking Alexa's music bonus was +2, so attack rolls are 8 and 18. 22 damage total

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

 

[Zurai]

Even as her first opponent falls, Alexa is on the move towards the remaining lizardman. Drawing on reserves of inner strength, she says a quick prayer to the Silver Flame and her wounds glow with a faint silvery light and begin to close.
[sblock=OOC]Damn. Was hoping the lizardman would be dazed that round and last long enough for me to get some free healing out of Crusader's Strike, then die this round. Oh well.
Move 30' up the path and cast cure light wounds on herself. Also, switch her Dodge to L2.
Cure light wounds healing (1d8+4=10)
Ah, a good roll for once. That's an almost-full heal.

[Redclaw]

Talas keeps his flail spinning around him defensively, the blur the weapon makes blocks the spreading pool of blood from his dead twin. He grunts as he abruptly changes the angle of the spin of the weapon to aim towards the blackscale. His defensive efforts disrupt his timing, however, and the weapon misses his opponent.

Drekhad steps into the undergrowth to try to flank the creature, but his defenses drop as he struggles to move through the bracken, opening him to a strike from the lizardfolk’s club, which luckily swings wide. His own swing is equally ineffective, but he is able to urge Talas on to further action.

Spurred on by Drekhad's advice Talas moves in for the kill, sacrificing some defense for more offense. Lightning dances off his flail, making his short hair stand up as he whirls his flail near his head before sending it in an upward motion towards the blackscale's jaw, shattering bone and charring the creature from the inside out. It drops, completely lifeless, to the forest floor.

After the noise of the battle, the resulting silence is oppressive.
