The Necromancer's Skull (Judge - covaithe)

[garyh]

Trevor engages the fiery skeleton, but the distraction of the armored undead keeps his swing off target (miss, Trevor marks Fiery).

The armored skeleton then turns its attention to Skalisss, landing a blow to the dragonborn's side (6 damage, Skalisss marked by Blue).

Skalisss, I've got your back, says the Wizard to the deadly Paladin!

 

[JRYoung]

"Thanksss Vlassstossss!" replies Skalisss. He then goes to work on the Blue Skeleton.

Free Action: Healing Surge from his Dwarven Armor, he regains 7 hit points.

Minor Action: Divine Challenge on Blue.

Convert Move Action to Minor Action: Dragon Breath (Electricity): Breathing North and East to catch Blue Skeleton only. +7 vs REF (includes +1 for timely posting). 1d20+7=20, 1d6+1=2
Hits, but for minimum damage of 2.

Standard Action: Bolstering Strike against Blue. If it hits Skalisss gains 2 temp HP. +8 vs AC (includes +1 for timely posting). 1d20+8=18, 1d8+4=10
That hits I believe for 10 points.

Skalisss burns for 5 more points of fire damage.

Save against ongoing fire 1d20=17

Mark him too, Skalisss! I'm going to rearrange this combat. Let's take the flank, shouts the Wizard as he rushes into position after the breath attack and sword strike.

Move Action: O18-P17, P17-P12

He then pauses to concentrate a "whip-crack" of sonic power that lashes up from ground, hoping to blast the mailed skeleton back into the sarcophagus!

Take that you pathetic heap, he cries as he casts his fell magic.


Standard Action: Thunderwave: 1d20+4+1=6 for 1d6+4=9

Curse the, er, gods, cries Vlastos as his arcana misfires weakly into the floor.

Undettered, he has another go.

Action point: same attack!
Standard Action: Thunderwave: 1d20+4+1= 25 for 1d6+4=5

Yes, cries the now more determined Vlastos as the second wave strikes home, doing minor damage, but driving the fell minion back out of guard advantage and (OOC: 2 spaces) into the crypt (M12 or does he go up and over)!

You see, Trevor, announces the Wizard with a grim grin unable to resist, if at first you don't succeed, try try again!

That should set you up, nicely, Skalisss, he adds before calling out to the flaming skeleton: You're lucky I'm busy, flame skull! Ha ha ha, but my friends will soon end your perverted time here, bonebreath! Ha Ha Ha!!! Know that I am Vlastos, Vlastos the Wizard, and I fried your ass 3 times!!! Ha Ha Ha!!!

Vixo, kill that sucker! Let's get the skull.



OOC: got it - good idea, wrong execution - sorry, Skalisss!

Skalisss scales get a little hot as the fire singes him, but it doesn't distract him as he attacks the armored skeleton. First calling down the attention of Netari, the dragonborn then unleashes his lightning breath upon the craeture, and finally lands a blow with his sword that also boosts his spirits. Finally, he is able to stamp out the flames (breath hits, Bolstering Strike hits, flames out, and Blue is bloodied).

Vlastos then moves near the armored skeleton and unleashes two blasts of thunder into the walking bonepile. The second hits the creature and pushes it into the crypt. (I put you a sqaure off of where you specified as from the square you designated you would have hit either Skalisss or Trevor with your blast. The blast pushed Blue into the crypt, but it takes a DC 10 Athletics or Acrobatics check to get onto or over the crypt. Blue can't flank, as he has no flanking partner near Skalisss. Finally, forced movement does not provoke OA's.)

Vixo, like Skalisss, also feels his scales roast, and then the heat increases as he moves closer to the blazing skeleton. However, his dagger strikes the already weakened fiery opponent in the spine, and the creature collapses into a pile of bones, its fire flickering out suddenly (fiery skeleton dead!).

[Vlastos]

Vixo!

 

[garyh]

OOC: Ozymandias just pointed out to me that Vlastos had a crit on the second Thunderblast, and didn't include the +1 to damage from his orb. That means a total of 11 damage from the main attack, plus another 4 from the orb's critical extra.

Orb crit (1d6=4)

...all of which results in the last Blue Skeleton being DEAD.

Fight over!

 

[Valthosian]

Well well, Steppyn drawls, was that it? Lets have a look at that sarcophagus and pedestal shall we?

 

[Vlastos]

OOC: Good crit roll Dr Garyh; Ozymandias!

Yep, they stand up but they don't stay up - that's the way we roll in Daunton, Skalisss!

Trevor, you mentioned getting paid for non-skull, necro-relics; I believe there's one on the pedestal.
