Mallick faces the drake and rider, tracking their movement and readying his scimitars.

 

[Nicodemous]

I ready myself against the oncoming drake and rider. I take a defensive position next to the large rock in front of me and prepare to attack if the rider comes by.

Ready action: Invigorating Smite
Trigger: Rider/Drake come within melee range.

Mallick faces the drake and rider, tracking their movement and readying his scimitars.

GM: Mark, if you are readying an action, make sure you list a specific trigger and what action/power you plan to use when that trigger occurs. By the way, readying an action takes up your Standard action only, so if you want to do any Move or Minor actions, you can do them as well, just let me know.

OOC: ! I wasn't aware of the sprinting rules. That would have been useful on the last turn. Live and learn.

Brocc makes his way towards the stairway of floating rocks. Then, just before turning visible, he attacks the lower sniper.

Dishearten vs Sniper #2, it's a burst, is that 3 dimensional? I assume that 1" is 10'. If so, that could include both snipers :-D
[/sblock]

OOC: that +6 is total from: +9 +2 for CA -5 for cover and a hit means -2 to the next attack roll

GM: It's only a burst 1, and each square equals 5 ft., so it can't actually reach the other sniper. Nice try!

 

[Harumph]

OOC: I am readying twin strike on the drake. The trigger is when he is in range of me. I am also putting hunter's quarry on the drake.

 

[bluesfella]

The snipers let loose another volley on Nicodemus and Mallick, the only targets they can currently see. (Sledge is too close to hit, and Brocc is under the tower.) The paladin gets missed, but the ranger is not so lucky and takes an arrow to the shoulder.

Sniper #1 then takes a few tentative steps up the boulder path towards the doorway of the tower.

The drake and his rider finally descend on the battle, heading straight for Nicodemus and Mallick. The drake's claws reach you first, but the paladin's shield deflects the blow, and the ranger manages to duck out of the way.

You aren't lucky for long, though, as the dragonborn rider breathes out a cloud of noxious fumes, catching you both and leaving you gasping for breath.

As the drake and rider fly away they bank sharply to the right, heading for Sledge. You can see the drake's mouth start to water as he spots the small dwarf standing by himself.

GM: Mark and Jonathan, roll your readied attacks! Note that you don't get opportunity attacks when the drake moves away from you IF he is using his "Flyby Attack", which he was this time. I'll notate it in the future if he doesn't.

[sblock=Map]

Sniper 1 is about 85 ft. above the ground, standing on a floating piece of rubble.
Sniper 2 is in the tower entrance on the bottom floor. They both have superior cover. (-5 to ranged attacks)

Any square on the ground that contains 25-50% debris is considered Difficult Terrain.
Any square on the ground that contains more than 50% debris requires a DC 15 Athletics check to climb.

Trees provide cover as normal.[/sblock][sblock=Aerial Map]**NOTE: Sniper #2, while marked on this map, is inside the darkened door of the tower, and can't actually be seen until you get up close to him.**
