[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5621720, member: 16069"] [GM]Without the Radiant damage Deadeye in not bloodied, but hey ho... let's play it out.[/GM] Deadeye skids to a halt- peers ahead (to the east) and then turns to Velani. The Hobgoblin drops his Longsword, then his shield- his bow he left behind in the previous chamber. "Derrekk!" Deadeye hisses again to the east, a half-hearted whisper. At this point Deadeye has spotted Ah-shahran and particularly Kyalia peering around the corner with her bow locked on him... "DErrrEK!" Deadeye tries again, now no longer whispering- and more frantic than ever. There's no reply, although Kyalia starts to pick up a few sounds- squeaking and scurrying, the sounds of vermin at work and at play. Deadeye peers once more to the east and then slowly shuffles back down the corridor towards you... He doesn't get far. "Stop!" A voice from the east, a reedy child-like voice, not threatening at all- and yet... Deadeye looks east again- peers, a few rats have gathered around the Hobgoblins feet, he kicks them away. "Derek?" Deadeye tries again- like it's his mantra. "What do you want?" Comes the reedy reply. "There's..." Deadeye begins. "Not you- you want to survive, I understand that. You at the door way- what do you want in this place?" The reedy-voiced one asks. In the silence Kyalia picks out another voice, a faint human voice that is full of despair and fear, a whisper, but in the silence a shout. "Help me... please, hel..." The rest is cut off. A woman's voice, the voice of a prisoner. Ahead of Kyalia is a dank and dirty corridor, more so than the others she has traversed in this place, it's clearly less visited, and it smells- of sweat and fear... and rot. It reminds Kyalia, like so much of this place of a crypt, the corridor turns east- opens out at the end, there's a dull furze of light in that direction- not much light, but enough to see by, a shadowy place. [GM]We seem to have bumped in to a place between encounters, technically with the surrender of Deadeye the encounter is over, however Deadeye- and now you, have just strayed in to another encounter. I've moved you all on to a new map- just for convenience, you all start this encounter outside of the chamber (-A2 & -A3). You cannot take a Short Rest- that requires five minutes, therefore no healing or recovery of Encounter powers etc. However you can have a chat here, which if you spin it out will enable you to take a Short Rest, and therefore recover powers etc. You can instead jump straight in to it of course- but what, in this instance, is it? You're not quite sure. You can complete your turn- Ah-shahran if you wish (with the Radiant damage removed from Deadeye then be reassured that Kyalia's arrow is not enough to drop Deadeye, your additional Panther/Gorms are however). What is certain is there's a prisoner in here, and someone called 'Derek' is playing jailer perhaps. 'Derek' is clearly in the mood for a chat. And so in any order begin (unless you wish to continue the encounter then stick to initiative), what do you wish to do?[/GM] [sblock=Combat] Encounter #7 Deadeye's Domain Turn: 3 Initiative (* = Next to play) 22 Kalimaru 19 Viator 17 Kyalia 16 Hobgoblin #5 Deadeye 15 Velani 14 Ah-shahran* 9 Freggo HP & Conditions PCs Ah-shahran 30/30 Surges 8/8 Freggo 27/25 Surges 9/5 Kalimaru 25/16 (4 Temp HP) Surges 8/7 Kyalia 26/26 Surges 8/8 Velani 28/23 Surges 11/6 Defender's Aura Viator 26/26 Surges 8/7 Monsters Hobgoblin #1- 16 HP damage taken- DEAD.
