The Fall of Manlich and Horrible affairs that come after

[Kobold Stew]

Indulgence is startled by the relentlessness of the attack. Struck and unable to move, she turns to Djiminik, and shouts, "Hit that one now! Go on!"

[Commander's Strike, on Djiminik; he gets basic melee attack and does damage +4 (Ind's intelligence modifier).]

[sblock=OOC]
Ok, I get that you want to move things along and want to avoid maps. I'm going to say that seems to remove a lot of the tactical elements. I'll accept that Indulgence loses her initial action-- If she was within 5 squares of Krai, she could have used Inspiring War Cry, which is why I asked for distances. I didn't expect that I would miss any chance of using an exploit that turn.

Also, you say the ghoul hits an AC18 -- Indulgence has an AC 23; was it a Fort attack, rather than an attack vs. AC? I don't mean to be so dense.

So many of the Warlord exploits are based on the tactical dimension -- both of Indulgence's at-wills, for instance depend on them -- Comander's strike (which I will use this round, in hopes of freeing up Djiminik to move) and wolf pack tactics, which if I read your message correctly will be irrelevant in this game, since flanks are automatically granted and don't need to be achieved through maneuver.

I understand wanting to move things along, and I'd like to get into your rhythm quickly.

Thanks, KS

Djiminick, seeing the giant bust in, decides that maybe he should focus his efforts there.

He moves in on the giant, crashing into the giant's shins, trying to bring the big bad guy down.

He then hears Indulgence's inspiring words, causing him spin around and cleave his axe at the giant's midsection, following up with a number of small, rapid cuts.

[sblock=ooc]Step 1: Move Action: close with giant. If I can be adjacent to the giant and to any ghouls, I will.

Step 2: Standard Action: Use Spinning Sweep on the giant, marking him.Attack=28, Damage=16 and knocking him prone on a hit.*

Step 4: When Indulgence uses Commander's Strike, I attack the giant again.Attack=27, Damage=15*

Step 5: If any enemies begin their turn adjacent to me they take, in order: 10, 6, 2, 1, 5, 9, 6, 3 damage.[/sblock]

Djim Moves Forward to the Giant, Fighting back the oppurtunly attacking ghouls, and Savaging the giants leg forcing it to the ground (28 hits for 21 dmg, 27 hits for 20 dmg) The Giant is Prone

Prone grants combat advantage to those in melee with the giant
Prone grants +2 all defences from ranged attacks from non adjacent
Prone grants -2 to attack roles

Kral fires his magical bow missing horribly
(Save passed natural 20, all conditions are wiped)

Indulgence calls out to Djiminik who then soundly pounds on the giant (see 2nd attack above)
(Save failed)

Armil muses the situation

Terminus move fading into the background, summoning the armour of agythis and cursing the nearest ghoul

The Ghouls Charge! (the ghouls are attacking Ac) (You don't get your rain of steel dmg this round because the ghouls didn't *start* beside you)
Ghoul Charges Djiminik 36 hit for 6 damage and immobilized
Ghoul Charges Djiminik 26 hit for 6 damage and immobilized
Ghoul Charges Djiminik 27 hit for 6 damage and immobilized
Ghoul Charges Djiminik 34 hit for 6 damage and immobilized
Ghoul Charges Kral 29 for 6 damage and immobilized
Ghoul Flanks Kral 34 for 6 damage and immobilized

Ghoul Flanks Armeil 18 for 6 damage and immobilized
Ghoul Charges Inulgence 27 for 6 damage and immobilized
Ghoul Flanks Indulgence 31 for 6 damage and immobilized

The Giant takes 9 damage from rain of steel. (50 damage so far)
The Giant stands up and lashes out with its greatclub
24 vs Ac on Djiminik for 14 damage


Top O the round,
and also if I can get a HP shout out from everyone I am at x of x hp and my bloodied value is X

would also like to remind everyone that second wind is an encounter power that lets you use a healing surge, requires a standard action and gives you +2 defences until the start of your next turn.

also Djiminik has a mistake, I believe pact initiate only gives access to hellish rebuke 1/encounter in addittion to the trained skill. That means no Warlock's Curse as your a fighter? Could you clear this up a bit in the ooc thread. Thanks

Aramil feels his feet stick fast to the ground, "Great, there goes your mobility Aramil." He shakes his head and attacks the ghoul.

[sblock=Actions

Aramil will use Sly Flourish on the nearest ghoul.

Sly Flourish post 46 (1d20+15=21)

[Kobold Stew]

Indulgence, realizing that the ghouls enjoy the taste of her tiefling flesh, growls as she watches Djiminik. The ghouls can wait, she thinks, as she raises her shield, and calls out to Djiminik, "That's the way! Shake it off!" And with that, there is a gutteral growl that escapes her throat, as her sword lashes out suddenly at one of the ghouls.

(move) immobilized, unable to shift
(standard) surge (+16 hp, +2 to defenses)
(action point) Lion's roar (Enc 7): Djiminik can spend a surge, and he gains an additional 5 hp; longsword attack against a ghoul-- 28 to hit, 11 damage if successful.

Djiminick spins in a rapid circle, slamming his axe through all of the adjacent ghouls and finally, into the giant. His legs feeling weak, he tries to shake of the mystical poisons of the gouls, and feels the feleing come back into his legs. Djiminick continues to hack into those surrounding him.

Upon hearing more inspiration from Indulgence, Djiminick shrugs off much of the hurts he's suffered at the hands of ghouls. He peers warily at the giant's club.

I just glad he hasn't hit me yet... he thinks to himself.

[sblock=OOC] No curse. My bad, Thinking of a different character.
