The Necromancer's Skull (Judge - covaithe)

[Velmont]

"It will get out of there. Vixo, come behind me. We will try to push it away with blast while Skaliss block his way toward our engineers. Just keep it far away from anyone so it doesn't hurt anyone if these two still trigger the attack of that thing." tells Trevor

OOC: Still ready the same action.

Skalisss was not the brightest Dragonborn to get off the boat on Daunton, but he realizes that when the dagger gives way the sword thing is coming after them. So he elects to attack and stay in a defensive stance.

Minor Action: Dragon Breath squares N9, N10, N11, and O10. Targeting only the Sword Wheel Trap in this case.

Skalisss Dragon Breath (Lightning) against Sword Wheel Trap vs REF (+1 for timely posting) (1d20+7=14, 1d6+1=7)

Skalisss' lightning breath hits the machine, although the trap's armor plating absorbs some of the blast (2 damage after resistance applied).

Vixo continues to work at the panel with urgency
Standard - Thievery check

continuing with the panel (1d20+13+1=26)

ooc I posted this simultaneously with Steppyn's action. I'll wait to see if theres a consequence to the 3rd failure and repost a new action.

"Behold, the tables are turned", shouts Vlastos as he delivers a Cloud of Daggers onto the device! "I shall slice and dice you, Mr Trap!"

Cloud of Daggers 1d20+4+1 vs Reflex -> [8,4,1] = 13 for 1d6+4 = [4,4]=8

OOC: question: since Cloud of Daggers attacks Reflex, would a stationary trap not get a save and a slowed trap get a penalty on the save?

OOC: thanks for the info - I'll do the above action after Vixo takes his turn.

Steppyn's attempts to force the knob on the control panel result in the whole panel becoming jammed as the contraption lashes out with it's blades again. (Failure. No further checks can be made to disable the device via the control panel.).

Vlastos, Immobilized and Slowed affect a combatant's ability to move from square to square. They don't confer any penalties to defense. PHB page 277.

Vixo bides his time, while Vlastos sends daggers of force into the trap's alcove (3 damage after resist).

Finally, the contraption exits the alcove, tottering, but before it can do any more, Trevor unleashes a wave of thunder (Velmont, your readied Thunderblast, please).
