Trapped in Hell's Basement (DM: Mal Malenkirk Judge:Covaithe)

[dimsdale]

[sblock=ooc]Dimsdale, wouldn't you draw two AoOs by moving to D13? Also, how does Brash Assault (not Brash Strike) allow Patrin to move? It looks like the only person who can capitalize on Brash Assault is Haruka, which isn't as bad as it sounds, since Brash Assault grants allies a basic attack, rather than a melee basic attack. Haruka's Eldritch Blast (a RBA) is +7 vs Reflex, 1d10+5 damage, if you're curious. In general, I'd prefer that you not make me use it when I'm adjacent to an enemy, but if you're moving to D13 then the guard will have already used his opportunity action this round. So blast away.

On the plus side, since Brash Assault's granted attack is a free action, a dazed Patrin would be able to attack with it. If he were in range.

Scorpius, the "M" is Max.[/sblock]

[sblock=THB]
Ahhhh...I thought it was just a basic melee attack. Got it. Thanks.

It says in the description of the power that anyone within 5 squares can attack. Am I reading that wrong? I assumed that since Patrin was within 5 squares that he could do it. I didn't think your character wanted to be directly involved in melee, otherwise I would have chosen her.

If Max would have chosen Haruka for the free basic attack, Haruka would have missed because the attack roll was only a 4. 4+7+2 = 13 vs reflex, which is still less than the 16 or 15 needed to hit the elite guard. Booo to IC.

[Mal Malenkirk]

[sblock=Max - Brash Assault]Brash assault only grants a basic attack, either melee or ranged. It doesn't grant the ability to move in order to make it.

If the ally you grant the basic attack to only has a melee basic attack available (like Patrin), he needs to already be in range. He doesn't get a free move or charge to reach the target.

The '5 square' from the target clause is for allies with a basic ranged attack available. So if you have Sheng or Haruka within 5 square of the target, you can pick them for the free attack.

The best ranged basic attack available to you is Sheng's Acid Orb, btw.

+7 vs Ref, 1d10+8 (striker damage without having to worry about curse damage applying or not).
[/sblock]

[sblock=Max]You provoked an OA by moving to D13 (which isn't cancelled by the free attack granted by brash assault)

Max, staggered by the repeated blows, fights back. After taking a moment to focus, Max unleashes a blow that catches the foe of guard, which creates an opening for Patrin, who...misses. "Come'n Patrin! You're killing me here."

"Yes. Yes I think I'll come up with something to do about these dwarves."

Haruka practically glides to the edge of the empty pool across from one of the dwarves. She cups her hands and breathes into them, and black smoke pours from between her fingers. Her hands open and are now holding a glowing cinder. She tosses the ember from one hand to the other as though it were uncomfortably hot before flinging it at the dwarf. The cinder hits home, burrowing into flesh for just a moment before erupting outward in a wave of black fire.

"Well, it's a start."

Ashir sees Haruka move past him and blast the dwarf with a blast of fires and so the genasi, eager to impress, move against the wall near the warlock and finds another page detailing elemental attacks in the book. Ashir points at the dwarf and another mini fireball engulfs him, burning him badly. Ashir then drops prone to make himself a smaller target against the bolters.

"We almost got him Haruka!" Ashir calls out

" 'Arcane types'...How very amusing; your intellectual processes are most impressive." mocks the monk before executing another set of complicated moves, that takes him between Ashir and Hakura. At the end of the display, and with the hands outstretched towards the elite guard, Sheng releases a torrent of acid that catches the man in the chest. The corrosive liquid begins to eat away armor skin and flesh, producing a "shhhh" effervescent noise.


Move to C 9. Note that I used a second wind last round so I should have 10 more hp and +2 to defenses.
Acid orb:17 vs ref for 10 dmg leaving the guard at 1

The fights rages on but the dwarves really ought to drop their crossbow and charge with their hammer because they are nearly useless.

Ony Max is feeling the pain as the wizard spells are taking their toll.

[dimsdale]

Max grmmaces in pain as the missle strikes his back, but still keeps his focus on the bloodied foe in front of him. Realizing that Patrin has a better chance to hit, Max yells to him. "Finish him Patrin!" Patrin attack drops him quickly.

Pointing towards the wizard "You're next!" He then moves quickly south to get in position to assist others in the assault against the spell caster.

[sblock=actions]
attack: Commander's strike Patrin basic attack on guard: 1d20+9+2=16 plus two more because I forgot that Patrin has a +11 to hit, not a +9 = 18. Since the guard only had 1 hp left there is no need for the damage roll

movement: move to d19

Oh hells, I meant to move to E6. Well, let's try and fix this.

Also, shouldn't he be at 21/46? He only took 25 damage from us. I mean, if you want to give me the curse damage anyways, that's fine.[/sblock]

Haruka advances across the room, releasing more eldritch lashes at her chosen foe. They cause the dwarf to duck, but that's it.
