A further clue delivering big damage to a creature on the edge of the trail, any creature (including you guys) will cause them to lose their balance and make a check of some kind- massive damage like the Ogre did to Kazzagin (20+) and all that's left is a saving throw or it's over the edge...[/GM]Mardred"What do we do? What do we do?" Mardred screams... and then shuffles backwards a little, draws his dagger and takes aim- right. Between. The. Eyes.The Dagger soars...Over the Ogre and over the edge to plop gently in to the water at the bottom of the ravine.Mardred grabs out another dagger, he's not done- although his hands are now shaking furiously...Lets fly again, the dagger describes a low arc as he releases it...THUNG!The dagger lands embedded in the Ogre's forehead... the creature stands there for a second... then a second more, then slowly staggers right...The Ogre does a comical little dance- its legs moving in a half-a-dozen different directions at once, its arms flapping like some giant bird trying to lift to soar with two feathers and 500lbs of excess ballast..."Bug'rit!" The Ogre states and topples head first off the ledge...SPLAAAAAADOOOOSH![GM]The Ogre is effectively Prone, beneath the surface and doesn't know up from down. He cannot be seen.I've also move Kazzagin two squares along in the river, the drift is two squares/turn- still waiting for Kazz's move- fighting the thing underwater would be difficult, just to say- I'll have to check the rules.[/GM][sblock=Mardred Combat]Move: Ambush Trick AN32 Combat Advantage over Ogre.Free: Backstab +3 to hit 1d6 extra damageFree: Sneak Attack if hit 2d8 damageStandard: Ranged Basic Attack Dagger Ogre- Miss.Minor: Draw Dagger.Action Point: Ranged Basic Dagger Ogre (this time with Sneak Attack only)- Crit 25 damage- Ogre off the edge and in to the river, Mardred rocks![/sblock][sblock=Combat]Encounter #1 The RavineTurn: 4Initiative (* = Next to play)20 Len16 Ogre15 Ragged Dwarf #215 Thorgrim15 Kazzagin14 Krogan13 Mardred13 Cinara*HP & ConditionsPCsCinara 29/29 Surges 10/8 Chanting +1Kazzagin 31/6- Bloodied Surges 13/13 AC+2 Total Defence UnderwaterKrogan 34/29 Surges 10/8 Chanting +1Len 29/26 Surges 11/10Mardred 25/25 Surges 7/7Thorgrim 33/33 Surges 9/8MonstersRagged Dwarf #1- 52 (non-lethal) damage taken- Unconscious.
