Hacker uses his second majestic word, bringing K up to 13.  She slides SW.  The golem is no longer Hacker's prey, nor does it have -2 to hit from Hacker.  Hacker doesn't save.Kathalia shifts back to human form.  She uses her amulet to turn failure into success for her save vs. blindness, but is still dazed and prone.  The golem's -2 penalty to attack rolls expires.  Atreus readies an attack.  He saves vs. dazed. Woe charges the goblin, hitting it for 5 and knocking it prone and marking it.  Atreus' readied attack fires.  It hits, but the prone condition only grants CA for melee attacks, so no sneak attack damage.  Still 11 damage, though.  Woe's mark expires from the golem.   He doesn't save vs. dazed.  Flesh golem hits Kathalia twice, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2291416/" target="_blank">25 and 29 vs. AC for 22 total damage</a>.  She's dying again, and still dazed.   It -- he, apparently -- uses an AP to attack Hacker, hitting once (<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2291419/" target="_blank">22 vs. AC</a>) for 9 damage.  Hacker is bloodied.  And of course, I forgot CA again, so all the rolls should be +2 higher; outcome unchanged though.The zombie steps up to Atreus and bites at him, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2291426/" target="_blank">17 vs. AC hits exactly for 4 damage</a>.  The goblin puts the torch into a pouch (move action).  It sustains the vexing cloud (minor), and it crawls... somewhere, but makes a lot of noise doing it.  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2291427/" target="_blank">Stealth check 12</a>; those with 12 passive perception know that it's in I21.  It's complete darkness in the cave now; everyone has total concealment from everyone else.  Unless, you know, someone happens to have darkvision.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/angel.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":angel:" title="Angel    :angel:" data-shortname=":angel:" />  The map represents last known positions.  [/sblock][sblock=status and initiative]Woe 28/46 HP, 9/11 surges, dazed (se)  <== You're upKathalia -9/36 HP, 7/9 surges, human form, dazed (se), dying, proneAtreus 18/29 HP, 7/7 surgesHacker 16/36 HP, 9/9 surges, dazed (se), bloodiedflesh golem 87 damage, bloodied<s>zombie 1  dead</s><s>zombie 2  dead</s>zombie 3  undamagedgoblin hexer 16 damage, prone, marked by WoeZones active:  <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Vexing cloud.  Burst 3 on F14.  Allies of the caster gain concealment in the area; enemies take -2 to attacks.  </li> </ul>Resources used: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Woe:  second wind, AP, rain of blows</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Hacker:  designate prey, Blunder, 2x Majestic Word, Dissonant Strain, AP</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Hexer:  stinging hex</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Golem:  rampage</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Kathalia:  Elven Accuracy, Darting Bite, Screaming Hide armor, Amulet of Resolution, 1 daily magic item power.</li> </ul>[/sblock][sblock=map]<img src="http://betahelix.net/pics/maps/closed_eye/cave05.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />[/sblock]</blockquote>
