The Rerisen Tower(DM: Iron Sky, Judge: ScorpiusRisk)

[Xeterog]

[sblock=ooc, kaz] Move that mason adjacent to me, H14 instead of I13. Yes, he's next to a zombie, but he's next to me as well, I will take any hit for him (and with DR4, I'm the best to take the hit anyway).[/sblock]

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

[sblock=Difficult terrain and water]That square is difficult terrain, H.M. If you want a complete list of Difficult Terrain, here it is:

A16-21, B16-21, C16-21, D18-21, E18-19, I2, I7, J2, K2-3, N21, O20-21, P16-21.

The following is considered river:

A1-12, B1-12, C1-12, D1-12, E1-12, F1-12, G1-12, H1-12, I1, I4-6, J1, J4-7, K1, K4-6, L1-12, M1-12, N1-12, O1-12, P1-12.[/sblock]

[sblock=Eithal's Pull]That pull would not be legal since a pull has to move the target closer each square pulled. It would be 1 square away from you both before and after the pull, so you can't do it.[/sblock]

[sblock=DM]In that case, she moves to I4 instead of shifting to I3 and gets swept off the bridge (15/20 on the Athletics Check). Post retconned (can you blame me for trying?). Don't forget to roll the swarm's OA.

BTW: Go ahead an put I3 on your complete list of DT (it's not there). I think you meant to say 'a list of all other squares that are DT.'[/sblock]

 

[pacdidj]

"Hey mate! Get away from them smelly birds, eh? Too dangerous over there. That's right, get off the bridge. Come on!," Yimayngurr shouts to the craftsman.

Ignoring the threat of the zombie next to him, the half-orc once again launches his spear at the rerisen ravens, but the undead assailant's persistent attacks prove enough of a distraction that his throw goes wild.

"Bloomin' pesky bones," he mutters as he carefully maneuvers to put himself between the craftsmen and the bulk of the undead attackers.

[sblock=ooc]Yimayngurr would definitely appreciate some healing!

Xeterog, got you covered. I moved the other mason from the bridge over to you.

Also, Cleverusername, I'm in position now to help Corvus with the hulk, if you can figure out some way to grant Yim an attack. His MBA has reach. Not sure if you've used Vengeance is Mine yet this encounter...[/sblock]

Standard: Fading Strike vs. swarm 2 = miss

Provokes OA from rerisen 4 vs. Yim's AC+4 = miss​

[sblock=ooc]
OK I changed my post, thanks
[/sblock]

 

[Xeterog]

[sblock=ooc, craftsmen] Hmm, 2 of them end up in H14..I'll use my minors to get them in the right spots...see actions below[/sblock]

Gather around..I'll protect you all! Fredrock yells as his hammer fails to find a home in the Rerisen dead adjancent to him. Distracted with trying to protect the craftsmen around him, Fredrock's defenses seem to be compromised.

[sblock=Actions]
Standard Action: Iron Fist AC vs Rerisen Dead (G14) (1d20+6=8, 1d10.minroll(3)+6=9) misses: Effect: DR4

Action Point: Standard action Bull's Strength (using Bravura Presence) AC vs Rerisen Dead (G14) (1d20+6=8, 1d10.minroll(3)+6=16) Misses. Fredrock is granting Combat Advantage to all enemies

---Darn..4-eyes!
Minor, minor: Move 2 craftsmen so that there are ones adjacent to me in F14, H14, F13, G13, H13. (I think that would take two to move/shift one and move another so that they don't take oppurtunity attacks.

I will take the damage for any of the adjacent craftsmen that are hit.

I will not use Blurred step to follow the marked Rerisen dead, prefering to stay and protect the craftsment

[sblock=ooc, GM Question] Is F14 difficult terrain?
Can someone sift from F13 to E13 (probably not).
Can someone move E12,D12,C12,B12,A12?

[Mewness]

[sblock=ooc]I think another round next to swarm 1 could kill me, so I'm using my daily, which is the only AoE power I have. A bit of a waste on one critter. Oh well.

Livia is down 15 hp, not 11. She started off the combat slightly injured.[/sblock]
As Eithal is swept into the river, Livia begins cursing with such intensity that it seems likely that her head will blow off from the effort. A thick, red cloud of angry buzzing insects gathers around her as though responding to her mood, obscuring her from view. Then the cloud begins moving slowly along the bridge. When Livia becomes visible again, the ravens are all dead.

[sblock=actions]Standard: swarming bats on swarm 1. Provokes OA from swarm (at -2): 1d20+7-2=14 1d4+4+1d4=9 misses.

Swarming bats attack vs reflex/damage: 1d20+8=24 1d12+5=14 +5 points for area vulnerability. Swarm should be dead, but I'll slide it to I2 (0 squares up). A zone of difficult terrain is created in a burst 2 centered on the swarm.

Move: move the zone 4 squares to the right. Upper left corner is H4. Lower right is L8.[/sblock]

[Iron Sky]

[sblock=Back]Back on the internets, but have a fair bit of stuff going on atm, I'll update tomorrow.[/sblock]

[sblock=H.M.Gimlord]Ironically, when compiling the complete list of difficult terrain, I saw the square you were shifting into was not one of them, then forgot to correct it. If you wish to retcon (again), you may if that changes your decision. I'm trying too, honest! [/sblock]

[sblock=Xeterog]Look for the Difficult Terrain and Water sblock above to see all the squares that are water and all that are difficult terrain. The statues are considered "walls" and require a DC 15 climb check or a climb speed to negotiate.[/sblock]

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

[sblock=DM]Actully, if the pull wouldn't work, there would be no point, since everyone would take damage next turn anyway. The point was to get to a square where the pull would work. I can roll with this NP. Is happy . [/sblock]

 

[Iron Sky]

Corvus attacks the Hulk, exposing it to enemy attacks, shouts for Yim to be ready, then braces for the hulks counter-attack.

[sblock=Corvus' Actions]Intuitive Strike vs Hulk: 1d20+7=20 Will, hit, for 1d8=6 damage, the Hulk grants CA and attacks against it do +2 damage until EonT. Minor: Inspiring word on Yim(surge +1d6)[/sblock]

When the beast attacks him, Corvus counter attacks from the ground.

[sblock=Corvus Vengeance is Mine]1d20+7-2(prone)=19 AC, hit, for 1d8+4=8 damage and Yim can make a MBA against the Beast.[/sblock]

***

The last of the ravens attacking the bridge finally disperse under Livia's assault. The others, however, dive on Fredrock and the cowering craftsmen around him, tearing into the dwarf repeatedly as he throws himself in the way of the raven's attacks.

The rerisen dead moan and continue to attack, one nearly sending Corvus falling into the rushing waters yet again.

The beasts leap at the party, one nearly gutting Yim, the other pounces on Corvus while the warlord is down, but Corvus manages to keep him mostly at bay.

[sblock=H.M.Gimlord]Eithal loses a healing surge for failing the Athletics check by 5 or more. At the start of your next turn, make a DC 20 Athletics check. On a success, you can start in any square on the south edge of the map and take your turn normally. If you fail, you pick a square, are prone, and your turn ends.[/sblock]

[sblock=Battlefield Information, Important!]Moving through, into, or out of the water requires DC 20 Athletics check per move action or the creature is swept off the map and will be out of the combat for 1-2 rounds. If the check fails by 5 or more, the creature loses a healing surge as the they are half-drowned and slammed into rocks. If the creature has no healing surges remaining, they take a healing surge worth of damage.

If a square has any bridge showing on it, it is considered bridge, though if it has water on most of it, it is difficult terrain.

The rocky areas the archers are in are difficult terrain.[/sblock]

[sblock=Special rules and objectives for this fight]Your objective, aside from staying alive, is to protect the 10 craftsmen. The Master Mason has already gotten away with the wagon. If you are adjacent to a craftsman that is hit, you can, as a free action take the attack, taking the damage for the hit.

As a minor action, you can move one craftsman 5 squares. If you can get them off the map without them going into the river, they are safe. If you want to end your movement in the same square as a craftsman, you can shift them 1 square as a free action.

If you are desperate, you can instead, as a free action, make an adjacent craftsmen take a hit that was intended for you. You take no damage from the attack, instead the craftsmen dies.

Remember also that Rerisen stay dead if reduced to 0 hp by a critical hit or radiant damage, otherwise there's a chance they'll get up again. Also, don't forget you can coup-de-grace them while they are "dead" to keep them down for good.[/sblock]
