Underneath the Undeath [DM: Voda Vosa; Judge: ?]

[Dekana]

[sblock=Ferocity]Here's a CS response if you accept those. Kurnos still drops unconscious.[/sblock]

 

[jbear]

[sblock=OOC] CS responses are not a very reliable source of rulings to be honest. I know that sounds lame ... but I guess they earned themselves that rep.

But okay. Not something I would ever ever pay any attention to in my own game. But its not my game so I will humbly direct the question to our fair DM's ruling and quietly accept any decision he may make on the matter.

Tries to bite tongue and not derail the thread any longer .... fails:
If they wanted the power to work in that manner they should have made it a free action (or an immediate reaction if they wanted to limit the amount of times you could do it in a round). [/sblock]

 

[Voda Vosa]

The last attack takes Kurnos from 3 HP to -3 HP, so Ferocity will trigger only if this attack hits. If the ability would interrupt this attack, it would have never trigger in the first place (Kurnos would still be at 3 HP, thus unable to trigger Ferocity). A different scenario would be if a previous attack would have brought him to less than 0, then his attack would prevent the second attack from landing a (potentially deadly) blow. Otherwise, as long as he hits, he gets infinite retaliations against all melee attacks that would bring him down to 0 hp. I think that's a bit too much. I do understand that its an imm. interrupt, but my interpretation is that it is because you need to be conscious to make a counter attack, and you need an attack to counter, also.

OOC: I was the first one to post a turn in this round. Yikes, wrong game. I was thinking of my wizard character in a different game.

Still gasping for air, the enchanter pokes his head over rubble just in time to see an opening. With every ounce of energy he has, he slides down the debris and runs full tilt towards the remaining skeletons. Studying the burning one intently, Zaroch sends out threads of arcane energy to animate the shadows surrounding his foes. The shadows claw and rake, snapping bones and hindering the undead foes.

OOC: sorry, last week was crazy Move: F10 to K7 Action Point Move: K7 to L7 Minor: Use Vulnerability vs Burning Skeleton Use Vulnerability vs. Blazing Skeleton (religion check) (1d20+5=15). Likely beats the hard DC, but not by more than 4, so no effect. If it does not beat the hard DC, half the damage vs. this enemy. Standard: Grasping Shadows centered on V6 +5 vs Will, vs. Blazing Skeleton, Rock Thrower 1, 2, and 3 respectively. (1d20+5=21, 1d20+5=23, 1d20+5=21, 1d20+5=15) That's four hits. W00t! All are slowed until end of my next turn. Psychic Damage for Grasping Shadows (2d8+5=19)

 

[Voda Vosa]

Seeing most of its undead allies fall, the skeleton rock thrower in front of Boris steels itself for the incoming onslaught, while the other skeletons attack the warlock. Only one rock manages to draw blood from the stalwart warrior.

Heroes are up

Please, whoever put the total damage on the enemies as a whole number, remember I want you to add it like in a formula (=X1+X2+X3) Otherwise I can't track individual damage.
What do I mean with that? Let Phoenix8008 explain it to you:

He means that if you click on the 'Total Damage' box for any creature then look up near the top of the page, there is a line for the formulas beside where it says "fx". Click on the 'Total Damage' for Skeletal Rock Thrower 3 for example and the 'formula line' shows "=10+12+19". The program then adds these together to make the total damage and automatically subtracts it from the total hp's to fill in the current hp's. This lets the DM see that it took 10 damage from one attack, 12 damage from another, and 19 damage from a third attack. This helps him keep track of who did what if there are any questions, problems, or retcons that need to happen. So if the blazing skeleton already had 19 damage before Boris hit it for 22 more, you should change the 'Total Damage' from "19" to "=19+22" instead of just changing it to "41".

Now that the skeletons near Kurnos have been reduced to bonemeal, Ilse rushes to the minotaur's aid. She kneels besides him and cradles his horned head in her arms. Then, she soothingly whispers into his ear, "Wake up..." Her words must have some sort of supernatural effect, because Kurnos immediately begins to stir...

As the the bat swarm fills the passage and the battle finally seems to swing in the party's favour, Boris growls and strikes out at the skeleton before him cutting through its defenses with his eldritch blade. and tossing it to the floor, nothing more than a pile of shattered bones. The dark aura that held it together is sucked into Boris' helm, lighting another of his emerald gems with its eerie glow. "Burn in the light!" Boris curses at the blazing skeleton as a blazing star of light streaks from his blade cutting through the flames of his foe.

[sblock=Actions]
Standard: Eldritch Strike vs SR1

Crits! 4 + MAX Curse dmg=6 +MAX Bless dmg=6 Radiant + Vulnerability 5 +Crit dmg (1d6=1)= Total 22 dmg!!! Boom!!!

I can't figure out what you mean by adding damage as a formula sorry: 19 dmg (already had) +22 dmg (from TCO) = BS has taken 41 dmg total so far.

NB: TCO had 2 THPs from last round so I will take that from the damage he received from rock throwers.
