Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar IC

[Goonalan]

Freggo...

...concentrates on the area directly around him, seeing the small cracks and spaces between here and there as tools for him to wield. Reaching out toward Sinruth, Freggo squeezes him through one of those cracks. "You shouldn't ingore me, Sinruth. You're letting hate fuel your attacks and not concentrating on who the real hero here is. There will be no boot-kicking, at least right now." And Sinruth tries to regain his balance as he suddenly is no longer next to Velani.

OOC: Teleport Sinruth to E9, everyone has CA vs. Sinruth until end of Freggo's next turn.

Sinruth looks confused, the grinning Goblin stares down at...

"Bugger!"

The Goblin Leader declares, and then he smiles- he's facing the young Swordmage who's mouth is writing cheques he just can't cash.

Sinruth licks his lips and grins.

And then shuffles a little closer to Velani, making his chain ready for another massive hit.

"Both of you..."

Sinruth declares, and swings at Velani first... the foolish Goblin almost gets tangled in the chain, so frustrated is he that he swings again immediately... to no effect.

From her position on the floor Velani grins up at the Goblin...

Kyalia

This goblin could withstand more punishment than any other foe Kyalia has been up against, but eventually, they would defeat him. They would have to!

In her pursuit of this goal, Kyalia unleashes another two arrows to attack Sinruth further.

Ah-shahran

Freggo, Velani! My healing is tapped. You'll have to fend for yourselves against Sinruth's attacks. Gorm flickers as he moves slightly, casting another small shield over the fallen swordlady. Kali! Let Gorm give you help in beating on the whelp! Advice and instructions given, Ah-shahran watches the battle intently, waiting for Kali to move in.

[sblock=Mechanics]Minor: dismiss Gorm
Move-->Minor: Call Spirit Companion at F10, 4 temp HP to Velani.
Standard: Ready an action for Spirit Infusion on Kali when he moves adjacent to Sinruth and Gorm.[/sblock]
[sblock=Thoughts on Tactics]See OOC thread for discussion; my thought is for Freggo to Second Wind on his action point and for Velani to use her daily heal on herself.
[MENTION=83060]RavenBlackthorne[/MENTION]: I'm thinking Dishearten is best for Viator this round, but if you decide to reposition Sinruth, please either have him delay until after Kali (best, since Kali will be able to flank) or at least make sure Kali can move somewhere that's adjacent to both Sinruth and Gorm.

edit: [MENTION=42968]Goken100[/MENTION] or [MENTION=99210]larryfinnjr[/MENTION], the same goes for Freggo potentially repositioning Sinruth--please make sure Kali has a square adjacent to both Sinruth and Gorm, ideally with a flank since the automatic CA will wear off before Kali can go.[/sblock]

Of the two arrows the first strikes home, while the second flops on to the floor... Kyalia has to scramble to prevent her bow from slipping from her hands- so bad is her second shot.

Sinruth continues to rage and splutter, all the while attempting to smash his chain in to Velani.

"Bloody stupid... Madness! And for what... There better be a reason for it..."

202 The Descent- Sinruth fights on

Next up Freggo (and then CA ends), followed by Velani and then Viator and Kali.

 

[larryfinnjr]

Freggo

[sblock=change #355]
OK, so after dwelling on this, I've opted to try for Freggo's dazing ranged encounter power. He only gets +5 to hit normally, so getting the one chance to take advantage of the CA seemed prudent. Hope it connects! [/sblock]

Seeing his comrade felled once again by Sinruth's chain, hearing Ah-sharan's call, and feeling the weight of his own wounds, Freggo backs away from Sinruth and attempts to keep him out of sorts. Reaching over to his flaming sword, Freggo reaches down, seems to scoop up some of the green in his free hand, and hurls it at Sinruth.

OOC: Shift to D8, Color Orb, 10 radiant dmg and dazed until end of Freggo's next turn (CA for all, one action, no reactions) W00t!

 

[larryfinnjr]

Velani...

...stands up for what feels like the tenth time. "That chain is really starting to bug me."

Watching the party's orchestrated dance around Sinruth, Velani strikes out once again at him and prepares to accept another one of the goblin's onslaughts, either directly or via her powers of guardianship.

OOC: Stand up, Vengeful Strike (woohoo! crit for 16 radiant dmg), AP Second Wind (heal 11, +2 all def). If Freggo takes damage from Sinruth (seems unlikely, but want to be prepared anyway), she'll pop Righteous Shield. On the more likely assumption that Velani (or someone else) becomes the target of his next attack, Freggo will likely use his Aegis to maneuver the battlefield after the hit/damage is worked out. More to follow on that if/when it becomes necessary. Paul - any word from Goken?

 

[tiornys]

Kali (+Ah-shahran)

Spotting the chance he's been looking for, Ah-shahran calls out. Viator, hold a second! Kali, get to wreckin! As Kali raises his axes, Ah-shahran points and says, Oh, and head over there after your strikes.

OOC: I'm going to assume that Viator delays until after Kali.

Kali nods, looks to the corner where Ah-shahran is pointing, and then charges in, axes swinging. As his battleaxe grazes the goblin, Gorm disappears, empowering a deadly backswing.

As Kali dances away after his attacks, Ah-shahran shouts, Now, Viator! Get Sinruth away from Velani!

[sblock=mechanics]Standard: Charge to G:10
Free: AotCF shift to E:10
No Action (Ah-shahran's Immediate Reaction): Spirit Infusion MBA on Sinruth--not sure if that hits
(If a hit: Free action: DWA on Sinruth)

Reaching over to his flaming sword, Freggo reaches down, seems to scoop up some of the green in his free hand, and hurls it at Sinruth.

OOC: Shift to D8, Color Orb, 10 radiant dmg and dazed until end of Freggo's next turn (CA for all, one action, no reactions) W00t!

Freggo skedaddles backwards in to space, and then flings a ball of glowing multicoloured energy at Sinruth - with deadly accuracy.

The Goblin crackles with radiant energy, and is left tottering where he stands - clearly unable to co-ordinate his feet, hand and chain weapon. For the first time ever Sinruth looks uncertain...

"Red Hand?"

He murmurs, forlornly.

[Goonalan]

Velani...

...stands up for what feels like the tenth time. "That chain is really starting to bug me."

Watching the party's orchestrated dance around Sinruth, Velani strikes out once again at him and prepares to accept another one of the goblin's onslaughts, either directly or via her powers of guardianship.

OOC: Stand up, Vengeful Strike (woohoo! crit for 16 radiant dmg), AP Second Wind (heal 11, +2 all def). If Freggo takes damage from Sinruth (seems unlikely, but want to be prepared anyway), she'll pop Righteous Shield. On the more likely assumption that Velani (or someone else) becomes the target of his next attack, Freggo will likely use his Aegis to maneuver the battlefield after the hit/damage is worked out. More to follow on that if/when it becomes necessary. Paul - any word from Goken?

GM: Re Goken, messaged him again on Friday- no reply, I worry.

Velani's aim is true, Sinruth is now officially taking a beating, blood pours from a myriad of wounds- mostly nicks and slashes, but the cumulative effect is horrible to witness. The tiny Goblin's armour is slathered in blood...

"Red Hand?"

Sinruth mumbles again, and then repeats the words- like a mantra, or a prayer...

Velani on the other hand sucks in air and feels... alright - the pain of her injuries seems mostly to have passed.
