[roll0] Initiative! Yes, I have +30 initiative mod.
[roll1] Arcana!

[Tequila Sunrise]

Their first serious test against Demogorgon’s forces comes while the heroes trek across an abyssal wasteland of jagged rubble. A swarm of strange elementals flies toward them with hostile intent. Each elemental is a vortex of violent wind and jagged stones.

Battlefield Conditions: All hexes are difficult terrain.

Monsters:

Shardstorm Vortex Whirlwind (Level 28)
Initiative +24
AC 42, Fortitude 40, Reflex 41, Will 39
Abrasive Slam +31 vs. Fortitude; 17 damage.

(Ya know, I'm not sure why I asked you to roll knowledge checks when I'm posting half the monster stat block. For the sake of play testing and expediency, I figured I'd display the tweaks I made. Does anyone NOT have access to MM2?)

[Shular]

Grunthor
HP: 173/173
AC: 48 (54 vs ranged attacks from more than 5 squares away)
Fort: 40
Ref: 41
Will: 37
Resist 10: Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, Necrotic

Grunthor takes a deep breath and readies sword and shield. His canines gleam as he smiles contemptuously at the oncoming horde.

Intiative: [roll0]
Arcana (untrained): [roll1]

OOC: lol at the initiative roll, guess that's what he gets for being cocky
Edit: Last minute tweak - replaced Mark of Healing (20th level feat) with Shielding Word (+2 to all defenses of Healing Word targets until start of my next turn)
Edit 2: I don't have access to MM2 (or anything besides PHB really). I do have Character Builder and DDI Compendium access. So I know nothing about any 4th ed monsters (at least, crunch-wise).

[Ishikar]

Yegash
HP: 212/212
AC: 47 F/R/W: 40/34/33
Resist: 20 Fire
Reduce all Damage by 6

Initiative: [roll0]
Arcana: [roll1]

Materializing his Fullblade in his hands Yegash begins to approach his foes.

[Shular]

ooc: I recommend sending a PM to those who haven't posted yet, letting them know we've started. :smallsmile:

[Tequila Sunrise]

PMs sent, hopefully A'den and Shadow Elf will get them today.

[Shadow_Elf]

It matters not that these beasts of wind and stone lack blood - I shall make them bleed!

Initiative: [roll0] [roll1]
((Misroll, but the second is a twenty so I won't reroll))

[Enlightened1]

Trelawn
HP: 165/165
AC: 44 (49 vs ranged attacks from more than 5 squares away)
Fort: 40
Ref: 44
Will: 40

As the swarms appear over the horizon, Trelawn readies himself for battle. Somehow, he knew this was coming.

Initiative: (Rolling twice, taking best; also remember we can't be surprised)

Arcana:

[Shadow_Elf]

((Unsuprisingly, Kar'oor goes first :smallbiggrin:))

KIAI! Kar'oor leaps into the fray and prepares to decimate the foes arrayed before him. He then proceeds to take on the aspect of a phoenix in flight, dancing among his foes and scorching them with his suddenly flaming fists of fury.

Move Action: Fly 11 Squares with Wind Walker, ending the move 1 Hex West of Enemy 2.

Standard Action: Phoenix Dance Daily Power.
Shift past enemies 2, 6, 11, 15 and 20, ending move 1 NE of 20

Free Action: Stone Fist Flurry of Blows
((Activated when Kar'oor is adjacent to both 11 and 15))
11 and 15 both take 19 auto-damage and grant CA for my next attack against them. From Starblade Flurry, #1 takes 25 auto-damage from Kar'oor's thrown dagger.

Kar'oor gains CA for all these attacks because of Seize the Moment
Attack vs. #2: [roll0] vs. Fortitude -> Hit!
Hit: [roll1] untyped damage and #2 is knocked prone
Effect: Hit or miss, #2 takes an additional 13 fire and radiant damage

Attack vs. #6: [roll2] vs. Fortitude -> Hit!
Hit: [roll3] untyped damage and #6 is knocked prone
Effect: Hit or miss, #6 takes an additional 13 fire and radiant damage

Attack vs. #11: [roll4] vs. Fortitude -> Miss!
Hit: [roll5] untyped damage and #11 is knocked prone
Effect: Hit or miss, #11 takes an additional 13 fire and radiant damage

Attack vs. #15: [roll6] vs. Fortitude -> Miss!

Attack vs. #20: [roll8] vs. Fortitude -> Miss!
Hit: [roll9] untyped damage and #20 is knocked prone
Effect: Hit or miss, #20 takes an additional 13 fire and radiant damage

End Turn. I will compile a damage summary in spoilers below after all rolls go through.

Damage Summary:
#1: 25 Damage and grants me CA for next attack
#2: 47 Damage and knocked prone
#6: 47 Damage and knocked prone
#11: 32 Damage and grants me CA for next attack
#15: 32 Damage and grants me CA for next attack
#20: 13 Damage

Total Damage for round: 198

[roll0] vs. Fortitude

((EDIT: Still a miss :smallfrown:. Oh well, damage summary in previous post in a sec))

[Tequila Sunrise]

(Once again everyone, please don't edit your posts.)

In the blink of an eye, five elementals fall to Kar’oor’s flaming fists!

((This'll be fun.))

Drawing power in and through himself, Reed let out a single line of power at one of the elementals, which arcs through multiple targets upon impact.

Alright, using the Furious Bolts power. Assuming I don't miss with the first attack, I get multiple secondary attacks. Or rather, as long as I keep hitting, I keep attacking. The targets are, in order:
3, 5, 9, 19, 14, 18, 13, 7, 8, 17, 12, 10, 16, 4. Ignore all attacks that take place after a single miss.

[senrath]

((Wow. I missed with the primary attack. No hits. Also, your link is to the wrong map.))

[Enlightened1]

Trelawn floats up above and surveys the scene, deciding the best course is to drive a spike deep into the crystalline creatures' ranks, compromising their formation and, ideally, scattering them.

Move Action: Fly 7 squares up using zephyr boots.

Standard Action: Deceptive Shadows encounter spell using Enlarge Spell, burst 3 centered 1 hex NE of 14.


For each attack that hits, Trelawn gains combat advantage against the target until the end of next turn.

Attack vs. #14: vs. Will
[roll0]
[roll1]
Hit: [roll2] untyped damage. Until the end of your next turn, the target can gain line of sight only to the creature nearest to it (ally or enemy). If multiple creatures are equally near to the target, it can see all of them.

Attack vs. #13: vs. Will
[roll3]
[roll4]
Hit: [roll5] untyped damage and see above.

End Turn. You want us to just let you calculate damage, Tequila?

[Tequila Sunrise]

With a spell, another four elementals bite the dust! (A very literal statement in this case.) Three elementals rush forward, impairing the heroes with the constant maelstroms that surround them, but can’t yet attack.

@Enlightened1: In the future, roll damage with your attacks.

Grunthor
HP: 173/173

Grunthor watches the monk and wizard seperate themselves from the rest of the group with a little annoyance, then shrugs. At least they're making themselves useful. He knows he does not have their kind of maneuverability, and this terrain is not ideal. He utters a quick prayer to Bane and channels a sense of invulnerabilty into those still nearby, countering the effects of the vortexes (vorteces?). Better to keep his companions hale and let the others clean up this inconvenience.

Cloak of Courage: Grunthor, Reed, and Yegesh each gain Temp HP equal to their Healing Surge, and they each get a +4 power bonus to all defenses until the end of Grunthor's next turn.

Current Stats:
HP: 173/173
Temp HP: 43
AC: 50 (56 vs ranged attacks from more than 5 squares away)

Your faces. I shall break them! The half-orc monk growls as his club, fists, feet and head smash through the foolishly clumped-together elementals.

Grunthor tries to keep his shield between himself and his two assailants as he calls out ((free action)) "Reed, hold your action until Trelawn has gone. Trelawn, focus on the ones on our right flank ((5 and 3)), especially the one on Reed. We need to free him up so he can cast!"

[senrath]

"No need! These fools can do little to prevent my spells!" Reed then called upon his power, and unleashed a massive burst of power directly behind two of the elementals.

Thunderous Might, Area Burst 2 within 20, targeting 5 and 3. I don't provoke an AoO because of my Nimble Spellcaster feat.

If they're hit, I can slide them 7 hexes. I'll attempt to slide them both straight to the left 7 (left on the map, that is).

[Shular]

((Shadow_Elf, I'm not very familiar with the monk, so I'm following along with your attacks and reading the descriptions so I can get a feel for how they work. The flurry of blows does extra damage (+6 on top of normal) to any creature that was not targetted by the triggering attack. Since all the creatures around you were targetted by 5 storms, which triggered the FoB, does that mean the extra damage would not be applied to any of them? Not that it matters in this case. :smallamused:

It seems quite nasty, but then I suppose the free damage would not be as significant against several really tough creatures.))

[Shular]

I don't provoke an AoO because of my Nimble Spellcaster feat.

((Oops, sorry. I looked at your character sheet but obviously missed that one.))

((My Flurry of Blows breakdown is:
3 base
+ 8 Strength modifier
+ 2 Ki Club
+ 2 Crashing Tempest feat
+ 2 Initiate of the Dragon
Total: +17

Hmm... I could have sworn there was another +2 coming from somewhere, but maybe not. In any case, these seem to be minions, so its moot. I also get +4 if the target is the only target of my flurry, and +6 if they are not the original target. I get CA against anything affected by it for my next attack, and I can add an enemy within 7 squares to my flurry for free. Because of my Ki Focus, I can trigger it off of every power I make in a turn, not just one. So yeah, its a pretty deadly striker feature.

Also, I have been forgetting my Iron Armbands of Power, which means all my melee attacks did +6 more damage... again moot, since these are minions.))

[Enlightened1]

"No need to worry, Grunthor, this is just cleaning up the mess! Let's give you guys a little breathing room..."

Trelawn brings down forth an illusory horde of celestial bats upon two of the elementals to distract them, or even bring them down, had their minds been driven past the brink by their time in Demogorgon's service.


Standard Action: Winged Horde vs. Will, origin 1 sq SE of #8

Versus #8
Attack:
[roll0]
[roll1]
Hit:
[roll2] psychic damage, and targets can't make opp. actions, take -2 to attack rolls next turn

Versus #9
Attack:

Hit:

Move Action: Trelawn flies seven hexes west, ending two hexes west of #3, and seven up.

[Enlightened1]

((Woot, the hit against 9 is a crit! An extra... 7 damage, haha level 30 ftw))

[Enlightened1]

((Oops, forgot about my staff's magical bonus crit damage.))

[roll0]

[Shular]

((Looks like 5's the only one left, then me to, hopefully, finish it off without emberassing myself.))

[Tequila Sunrise]

*Cue victory tune*

Man, I didn’t realize until now how good monks are for minion killing! All the extra damage is lost on minions, but it’d help against my home brewed goons (essentially two-hit minions). Too bad I’m using only published monsters for this adventure.

Btw Enlightened1, how is Trelawn rolling two d20s per attack?

Winning an easy victory over the first of Demogorgon’s minions, the heroes stop for a breather. After healing their wounds and congratulating each other, they continue onward.

Their second test comes after entering the Abyss proper. This area of the Abyss has no sun, and is covered in a blanket of darkness, fear and despair. Before we continue, who’s holding a light source, and what’s its light radius if not a sunrod?

[Shadow_Elf]

((Yeah, neither did I :smalltongue:. Flurry of Blows is a pretty awesome striker feature, though admittedly mine is quite optimized.

I'm going to need one Healing Word-equivalent before we press on, I think. Additionally, Kar'oor is dual-wielding, so he cannot hold a Sunrod, but Trelawn could cast Light on his club, so he can still see if he gets separated (which monks tend to do). Additionally, a Mage Hand to hold a Sunrod might not be a bad idea (yay cantrips!). Anyone with a free hand should carry a Sunrod - the penalties for not being able to see are not fun.))

[senrath]

((Reed has an Everburning Torch. I don't remember what range that has, since I'm AFB for the moment.))

[Enlightened1]

((Can you use your second wind for that combat? If not, Trelawn can use his 1/day healing word from multiclassing to help.

Spend a healing surge and heal an additional [roll0] HP.

Also, Trelawn gets his ability to roll twice whenever making an attack against Will from the Terrifying Insight ability of the Divine Oracle paragon path.))

[Enlightened1]

((Also, Trelawn will cast Light on Kar'oor, and will hold a sunrod in his off hand. Sustaining Mage Hand with a minor action, and using a move action to move it every round, is too much.))

[Shadow_Elf]

((Can you use your second wind for that combat? If not, Trelawn can use his 1/day healing word from multiclassing to help.

Spend a healing surge and heal an additional [roll0] HP.

Also, Trelawn gets his ability to roll twice whenever making an attack against Will from the Terrifying Insight ability of the Divine Oracle paragon path.))

((Keep that for in-combat, since its a limited resource. We have a full-class cleric for out of combat heals :smallwink:))

[Shular]

((Lol, yeah,I think I can handle the downtime healing.

One healing word before rest on Kar'oor: Spend a healing surge and get [roll0] extra hp.

In a pinch I can stow my shield to carry a sunrod, but I'll use others' light sources while I can. Any chance holy avengers give off light? :smallsmile:))

[Shular]

((Light spell is radius 4, torch (including everburning) is radius 5, sunrod is radius 20 (4 hour duration). In other words, one sunrod is probably going to overwhelm the other light-sorces.

Also, I don't think you can cast light on people, just on objects or spaces. n any case, I don't know if you really want to illuminate the only party member with a significant stealth skill.:smallbiggrin:))

[Shular]

((Just wanted to dd that Grunthor is prettymuch the antithesis of mobility. He pretty much stands and sings his sword, handing out heals and/or buffs to those nearby. If you wander too far away, there's not much I can do to help you.

Also, Cloak of Courage is an encounter prayer, giving all allies in a burst 2 temp hp equal to their healing surge and +4 to all defenses until the end of Grunthor's next turn. I'll usually throw that up at the beginning of each combat, but you'll need to be with 2 squares of me to get it.))

[Shular]

((10 hours since anyone but me has posted. Have we made a decision who is carrying light sources? I'll take a light spell on my shield unless the monk still wants it on his club))

[senrath]

((I think most of us would prefer not to have to use a spare hand to hold a light source, so a light spell would be nice.))

[Shadow_Elf]

((He can only have one Light cantrip on at a time, and Kar'oor has got both his hands full and is honestly the most likely to be separated from the group. Keep in mind, by the way, that anyone using a light shield can hold a light source in that hand as well.))

[senrath]

((Well, I do have a light source, but I'd prefer to wield both of my daggers, instead of one dagger and an everburning torch.))

[Tequila Sunrise]

So in terms of light sources we have: Reed and Trelawn with Sunrods and Kar’oor with wizard light. Oh, and about down-time healing, assume that Grunthor gives every surge the benefit of Healing Word. (Despite being a follower of the Angsty One.) So feel free to give yourselves 6d6+4 extra hp per out-of-combat surge.

Anyway, on to our heroes.

As you trek through the blackness of an outer Abyssal realm, jagged rubble slowly becomes jagged columns of stone rising dozens of feet into the air. Trelawn’s spider sense…I mean, oracle sense tingles. Sure enough, a towering foe soon appears before you. The foe stands thirty feet tall, has two mandrake heads and muscled tentacle arms – it appears to be Demogorgon! But it can’t be the prince of demons, wandering around this wasteland alone…so roll initiative!

Yeah, I'll count them as 'walls.'

((Forgot this in the first fight, Trelawn also rolls twice for Initiative from Divine Oracle in addition to us not being surprised!))

[Shadow_Elf]

Demogorgon, whether the image before us be real or false, your villainy ends here! Kar'oor prepares club and dagger for the outbreak of combat.

Initiative: Higher of [roll0] and [roll1]

[Shular]

So we're just waiting on Ishakar?

[Tequila Sunrise]

Yeah I just sent him a PM.

[Shular]

So do we find a replacement player or just have someone run Yegash. Don't want to let one person kill this thing.

[Tequila Sunrise]

If you're volunteering, you're welcome to run Yegash until/if Ishakar returns!

[Shular]

I'm actually trying to rebuild the character on the Character Builder so I can know what it's capable of, but am running into problems. He only has 16 feats listed (should have 18 at 30th), and Epic Recovery and Martial Mastery are not showing up on my feat list (even when I display illegal elements), which seems to be a problem with the program. He also does not give descriptions (or even level and type) of his powers, making it difficult to determine which powers he go when and from where.

[senrath]

Maybe he means Epic Resurgence?

[Enlightened1]

I say we give him till the morning before we move on. He's been posting quite late at night (by American time that is) so perhaps he just couldn't post yesterday for some reason. After that we should continue on though, by Odin's beard, we will see this through!

[Shular]

Epic Recovery and Martial Mastery are both in Martial Power and should be showing up. Don't know why. Even with those, however, he's still 2 feats short.

[Shular]

Okay, after building his character, I had to make a couple changes (I couldn't leave it as it was...I just couldn't, but there was SO much more I would have changed lol).

With the two unused feats I grabbed superior initiative and Heavy Blade Mastery, and so swapped out the Jagged Blade for Vicious.

Also, both his armor and his amulet gave 20 fire resistance (I assumed he has flame breath, his character sheet didn't say), so I swapped the armour for Armour of Agility (+3 AC while not bloodied).

So then:

Yegash
HP: 212/212
AC: 47(50) Fort: 40 Ref: 34 Wil: 33 (Damage Reduction 6)

Initiative: [roll0]

[Tequila Sunrise]

Thanks for stepping up, Shular.

As is quickly becoming the usual, Kar'oor goes first!

As Kar’oor nears the peak of the stone column, he spots a lurking enemy! A hulking mechanical man wielding a double headed axe stands ready to attack. It is a marut, a being of order that would normally oppose the forces of Demogorgon, but this one has clearly been corrupted somehow. (If you’d rather hit the marut, Shadow Elf, let me know.)

Ignoring the flesh wound it just received from Kar'oor's dagger, the faux Demogorgon scrambles toward him and lashes out with a tentacled arm…

[roll0] vs. Ref; [roll1] necrotic damage and Kar’oor is weakened (save ends) if tentacle hits.

Trelawn rushes to take cover behind the nearest pillar to his right, peering around with his staff at their monstrous foe. He begins chanting, a very special word he once deciphered in deep temporal meditation, which actually siphons the temporal energy from another.

Trelawn feels the world slow to a crawl as he feels the demon's stolen energy envelop his form. Seizing the brief opportunity, he fires off a quick magic missile while it's still vulnerable.

[Shular]

Grunthor
AC: 48, Fort: 40, Ref: 41, Will: 37

Seeing the gargantuan foe temporarily disabled, Grunthor decides it's time to bring the battle in close. He moves closer to Demogorgon, then breaks into a charge.

Moves 5 south, then charge 7 south, ending in the hex directly east of the small piller, and directly west of the most northerly of the hexes Demo fills (a coord system would be helpfull :smallsmile:).
+1 to hit from charge, +1 to hit and damage from back to the wall

Rigteous Brand (treated as melee basic attack from Power of Skill feat)
Attack: [roll0] vs AC
Damage: [roll1] damage and one ally within 5 squares is +3 to attack target until the end of my next turn.

[Shular]

Grunthor uses his successful attack to distract Demogorgon from Kar'oor.

(Kar'oor gets a +3 to melee attacks against Demogorgon until the end of Grunthor's next turn. Also, add 1 to Grunthor's AC for Back to the Wall)

[Shular]

Crap, miscounted. Move Grunthor 1 space northeast to put Kar'oor within 5 spaces to get the bonus. Reduce the damage by one and ignore the AC bonus from Back to the Wall. The attack would still hit without the extra +1.

[Tequila Sunrise]

Grunthor and Trelawn both strike true!

Three maruts spring out of hiding! Two fly to flank Kar’oor, while the third rushes toward the three northward heroes.

#2 attacks Kar’oor: [roll0] vs. AC; [roll1] damage plus [roll2] thunder damage if attack hits.

#3 attacks Reed, Yegash and Trelawn: [roll3] vs. Fort; [roll4] thunder damage if attack hits.

And…

[Tequila Sunrise]

Crap, #3 needs two more attack rolls...

vs. Yegash...[roll0] vs. Fort

vs. Trelawn...[roll1] vs. Fort

[Tequila Sunrise]

As Reed and Trelawn feel lightning course through their bodies, they are drawn inexorably toward the marut!

Hethradiah attempts to shake off Trelawn’s spell…[roll0]
(The text says “At the end of its turn, an aspect of Dem. saves against dazed, stunned and charm effects.” It’s late at night, so I might be getting this wrong, but it appears that he gets a save even against until-end-of-next-turn effects. If I’m thinking crookedly, feel free to correct me.)

Oh, and Yegash takes half damage (8 thunder) despite being missed. Man, I gotta get some sleep!

[senrath]

((Well, Reed doesn't really feel much of anything, as he has Resist 30 Thunder. Also Resist 30 Lightning. Anyway, action now.))

Drawing his power through his blade, Reed lunged forwards, striking at the Marut that had attacked him.

Using Sorcerous Blade Channeling to convert Acid Orb from Ranged 20 to Melee, so no AoO.

[roll0] vs Reflex
[roll1] Acid damage

[Enlightened1]

((Tequila, I'm almost certain that text means that they automatically make their saving throw against those effects when a save is involved. For example, with Legion's Hold this would apply, but since Steal Time doesn't mention a saving throw, it wouldn't apply. You're free to rule how you like though. :smallsmile:))

[Enlightened1]

Also, I forgot to go over this with you pregame, but I hope it is okay if we agree to some preset triggers for Trelawn's defensive utility spells. For example, the first time he gets his by 3 or less triggers Shield, and in this case he would definitely use Wizard's Escape to avoid being hit and pulled into this Marut's gravitational sphere, teleporting 3 squares to the SE and 2 sq E from the spot he would have been hit from (which was 3 sq SE from where he is on the map now). MW is down at the moment, but do these sound agreeable to you?

[Shular]

Yegash
HP: 210/212

Yegash curses as he sees all of his companions divided and in danger. The monk had shown himself quite capable, but the cleric is still an unknown quantity. However, he decides the best bet is to try to take out the single target on the two casters. He spreads his wings and leaps over the three combatants, landing beside Reed and bringing his sword down...

Yegash flies to beside Reed, north-east of number 3.

Mountain Breaking Blow:
Attack: [roll0] vs AC
Hit: [roll1] damage and target pushed 3 squares (SW). Yegash shifts three squares in same direction, ending up adjacent to the Marut.

Hit or miss, target is marked. -2 to attacks that don't include Yegash, Yegash will use Reaping Strike (+32 to hit, d12+16 damage, 7 damage on miss) if Combat Challenge (shifts or makes attack that doesn't include Yegash) or Opprtunity Attack (+2 to hit from wis) is provoked.

[Shular]

((So a miss it is))

[Shular]

((Psst...Tequila. #1 didn't attack Kar'oor.))

[Tequila Sunrise]

Thanks Shular! #1 vs. Kar'oor [roll0] vs. AC; [roll1] plus [roll2] thunder damage if attack hits.

@Enlightened1: Your interpretation of Dem’s save ability sounds better, so I’ll go with it. Also agreed on OH SH!T powers – if anyone wants to use immediate powers, let me know and I’ll ret-con it in.

@Everyone: The aspect has Gaze of Abyssal Might, which slows anyone who starts their turn within 10 of the aspect – if I roll 10 or higher. So here we go…

[Shadow_Elf]

May your corrupted souls find peace in eternity! The winds of change blow ever on the forces of evil! Kar'oor leaps backwards up to the top of the column, deftly dodging the Maruts' swipes with a conjured gust of psychic wind, and then begins to spin rapidly, inevitably drawing the two nearby inevitables towards him, and then lashing out with club and dagger - as he hammers on the Maruts, he fires his dagger at the Aspect twice.

Move Action: Whirlwind Kick [Movement] to fly to the top of the pillar in his current hex, without provoking AoOs, and he is still adjacent to them.
Standard Action: Whirlwind Kick [Attack]
Free Action: Stone Fist Flurry on the two Maruts, + Starblade Flurry on Dem
after the second component of Whirlwind Kick's attack, he gets to flurry again because of his Blurred Strike Ki Focus, with the same targets.

63 damage on a hit still.

((I also just realized there's a copy-pasta error in there - the second one on the secondary attack should read Marut #2, if its not obvious))

[Tequila Sunrise]

Kar’oor lays into his three nearby foes with abandon. Just to be clear – did Dem take 23 damage twice, or 23 damage just once?

I didn’t mention this in their description, but the maruts can fly. (Only half as fast as they can move normally, but I just realized I should make that clear.)

‘Kay, Dem is stunned (pesky wizard!), so it’s now Trelawn’s turn.

[Enlightened1]

With the aspect still reeling, Trelawn uses the opportunity to get a burst of energy. First, he reigns down the terrible might of the Titans on the inevitables surrounding Kar'oor, using focus to ensure he is unharmed by the force. Then, he peeks around the corner of the pillar, and sends a psychic barrage of distracting phantoms straight to the twin minds of the aspect.


Spending an Action Point to gain an extra standard action, and gain an extra move action to be used later in combat.

AP Standard Action: Crushing Titan's Fist, burst 2, origin in Kar'oor's square (Kar'oor's square is excluded from effect with Spell Accuracy)
Attack (vs. Ref, +3 Action Surge):
[roll0] Marut 1
[roll1] Marut 2
Hit:
[roll2] force damage (Marut 1) and immobilized UEoNT (Until End of Next Turn).
[roll3] force damage (Marut 2) and immobilized UEoNT.
Effect:
Entering a square within the power’s area costs 4 extra squares of movement. This effect ends at the end of your next turn, and you can dismiss it as a minor action.

((I'm not sure how this works, I'll leave it up to Tequila whether this effect applies in 3D or just on the ground level squares.))

Standard Action: Illusory Ambush on Aspect
Attack (vs. Will, +2 CA):
[roll4]
[roll5]
Hit:
[roll6] psychic damage, take -4 to attacks UEoNT, gain Combat Advantage against it UEoNT.

[Tequila Sunrise]

Trelawn’s spells find their mark against one marut and the aspect. Grunthor’s turn!

(Yeah, I’m assuming area powers operate in 3d.)

Grunthor

Seeing that the aspect is no longer stunned, Grunthor is not about to risk providing free attacks to his opponent, no matter how much the mage's spell distracts it. He shifts position to gain the benefit of the pillar at his back, carefully considers his target, and swings his sword.

Shift 1 SW to get benefit of Back to the Wall
Masterstroke
Attack: [roll0] vs AC
Hit: [roll1] damage.

Defenses: AC: 49, Fort: 40, Ref: 41, Will: 37

(I guess AC doesn't matter much against Demo)

[Shular]

((Double checking: does Demogorgon GRANT combat advantage to all attackers, or did Trelawn just gain CA vs Demo?))

[Enlightened1]

((Should have specified that, Trelawn gains Combat Advantage, it doesn't grant it to everyone.))

[Tequila Sunrise]

The northern marut spins its large axe in a whirlwind of death at Yegash and Reed, while the southern two hack at Kar’oor:

Vs. Yegash [roll0] vs. AC;
Vs. Reed [roll1] vs. AC;
[roll2] damage plus [roll3] thunder damage if attack hits

vs. Kar’oor [roll4] vs. AC; [roll5] damage plus [roll6] thunder damage if attack hits
vs. Kar’oor [roll7] vs. AC; [roll8] damage plus [roll9] thunder damage if attack hits

Meanwhile, Hethradiah roars and in the blink of an eye the aspect is behind Grunthor! It then glares balefully at Grunthor, Kar’oor, and Trelawn:

Vs. Grunthor [roll10] vs. Will;
Vs. Kar’oor [roll11] vs. Will;
Vs. Trelawn [roll12] vs. Will;
[roll13] psychic damage and you are dominated (save ends) if hit.

[senrath]

((Thanks to White Lotus Master Riposte, I get a reaction!))

As the blow struck Reed, his dagger snaked up and struck back at the Marut.

[roll0]
[roll1] Acid damage.

The Marut automatically takes 9 damage from White Lotus Riposte

[senrath]

((That was vs Reflex, by the way.))

Is that 9 damage in addition to the 33, or part of the 33? (Assuming your attack hit.)

[senrath]

((In addition. And its my turn anyway, so here goes.))

Reed quickly recovered from the blow he had been dealt and channeled more power through his blade, lashing out at his target.

Same as before, Acid Orb as a melee attack vs Reflex.

Yegash brings his sword down towards his opponent's head, thinking nothing of subtlety, only of hitting as hard as he can. He then maneuvers into a better position.


Skullcrusher (Enc, Reliable)
Attack: [roll0] vs AC
Hit: [roll1] and target dazed until end of Yegash's next turn.

If the attack hits, Yegash will move two south (so adjacent to Reed and #3 but on the south side, dazed creatures can't take opportunity actions). If he misses, he will remain where he is. Either way, target is still marked, and provokes attack if shifts or makes attack that doesn't include him.

[Shular]

((Wow, can I roll amazing damage or what?))

[Tequila Sunrise]

Reed and Yegash both strike true!

HP: 122/171

Kar'oor, realizing the aspect is the greatest threat, decides to ditch his pillar-top position with a bang. Using a combination of two of his most advanced techniques, he clubs the Marut on his left, in an attempt to send it sprawling away, as he flings his dagger at the Aspect. He then slips past the other Marut, landing in a roll on the ground and dashing between Demogorgon's legs to flank him with the cleric, at which point he delivers unto the Aspect a bone-shattering blow.

Enter Discipline: Sunder the Castle
Standard Action: Attack Technique vs. Marut #2
Free Action: Stone Fist Flurry + Starblade Flurry
Action Point! Enter Discipline: Fist of Indomitable Iron
Move Action: Movement Technique. Shift to space 1 NW of Demogorgon's NW face, no AoOs, and his Acro check is so high he takes no falling damage and lands on his feet.
Standard Action: Attack Technique on Demogorgon
Free Action: Stone Fist Flurry + Starblade Flurry

Sunder the Castle vs. Marut #2
Attack (with CA from Stone Fist Mastery): [roll0] vs. Ref
Hit: [roll1] damage and he is pushed 8 squares up and to the right, at which point he falls prone falling 11 squares (he gets his fly speed in free fall, and then the rest does falling damage). Additionally, on a hit, Marut #1 and Demogorgon both take 23 damage.

Fist of Indomitable Iron vs. Aspect
Attack (with CA from Stone Fist Mastery): [roll2] vs. Ref
Hit: [roll3] damage and Marut #1 takes 23 damage.

[Shadow_Elf]

Reroll on Fist vs. Demogorgon:
[roll0] vs. Reflex

[Tequila Sunrise]

The aspect attempts to slow the heroes on their own turns:
Vs. Kar’oor [roll0]
Vs. Trelawn [roll1]
Vs. Grunthor [roll2]
Vs. Reed [roll3]
Vs. Yegash [roll4]

[Tequila Sunrise]

Kar’oor’s first strike misses, but his second lands squarely upon the aspect.

Aameul attempts to recharge his deadly gaze: [roll0]

[Tequila Sunrise]

The aspect growls a command at the maruts, and then reaches toward Kar’oor…[roll0] vs. Ref; [roll1] necrotic damage and you are weakened (save ends) if hit.

Trelawn, under the aspect’s mental command, sends a winged horde at Yegash and Reed…
Vs. Yegash [roll2] or [roll3] vs. Will;
Vs. Reed [roll4] or [roll5] vs. Will;
[roll6] psychic damage and you take a -2 to attack rolls and you can’t take opportunity actions until the end of Trelawn’s next turn if hit.

[Tequila Sunrise]

Wow, two crits in two turns, sweet! And thanks for that nifty at-will attack, Trelawn. :sabine:

Enlightened1, feel free to roll a save for Trelawn. It is now Grunthor's turn.

[senrath]

((Reed's still fine. He's at 142/172. Well, minus whatever extra damage Trelawn does on a crit.))

[Shular]

((Trelawn's staff does 6D8 on a crit, which averages around 27 damage.))
Grunthor

Grunthor's feet feel like lead, but he just laughs. He wasn't going anywhere anyway. Seeing his companions in pain, he sends some holy healing their way, then swings at the Aspect of Demorgorgon, his sword glowing brightly.


Minor action: Healing Word on Kar'oor and Reed (Supreme Healer allows two targets to be healed with one healing word).
Spend a healing surge and add [roll0], as well, all your defenses are +2 until the beginning of Grunthor's next turn (Shielding Word feat)
(Sorry, nothing that grants saving throws :smallfrown:)

Standard Action: Blinding Light on Aspect, bonuses from flank and Back to the Wall
Attack: [roll1] vs Fort
Hit: [roll2] plus [roll3] all radiant damage and target is blinded until the end of Grunthor's next turn.

[Shular]

Well that looks like a crit on the ol' Aspect:

Total damage: [roll0] radiant damage

Gauntlets of Destruction allow rerolls of 1's until something else is rolled, so use the following in order if I roll any 1's above:

[roll1]
[roll2]
[roll3]
[roll4]

[Shular]

So grand total 84 radiant damage to the Aspect, and he's blinded.

[Shular]

Oh, add another 8 damage from Furious Assault (racial). A critical hit is the best time to use it, after all. (And with Ferocious Critical, Grunthor's at +4 to hit and damage until the end of his next turn.)

[Shular]

And THIS is why I like using edit, lol. That damage should have been d8's, not d12's. Grunthor uses longsword, it's Yegash that uses the Fullblade.

Thus, reduce the damage by 8 points, and so back to 84 damage.

[Enlightened1]

((Rolling my save for the end of my turn. It's at +6 against domination.))

Saving Throw:
[roll0]

[Tequila Sunrise]

Whoops, forgot the crit dice (I’m so used to just maxing damage when monsters roll ‘em): [roll0] more damage to Reed then.

All three maruts make beelines for Trelawn!

#1 blasts Trelawn and Kar’oor…[roll1] vs. Trelawn’s Fort; [roll2] vs. Kar’oor’s Fort; [roll3] thunder damage (half damage on a miss).

#2 Hacks at Trelawn…[roll4] AC; [roll5] damage plus [roll6] thunder damage if hit.

Hethradiah attempts to recharge his dominate power…[roll7]

[Tequila Sunrise]

Hethradiah gazes balefully about once again!

Vs. Kar’oor: [roll0] vs. Will;
Vs. Trelawn: [roll1] vs. Will;
[roll2] psychic damage and dominated (save ends) if hit.

[Tequila Sunrise]

*sigh* Reed’s turn!

And marut #3? While Yegash cannot make opportunity attacks, his combat challenge (immediate inturrupt) is still in play, so not sure how that will work if the marked target moves and attacks. (My guess is that, unless it shifts, the move does not provoke, and so it would not be adjacent to Yegash when it attacks, and so combat challenge does not come into play. Ah well, at least it's at -2 to hit.)

[Shular]

Does being blind affect Hethradiah's attacks?

[Shular]

The slow on Grunthor, is it save ends, or until the end of Aameul's next turn?

In case it's a save ends: [roll0]

[Enlightened1]

((Going to use Staff of Defense to gain +6 to Fort versus the Marut's attack, negating it.))

[senrath]

Raising his hand to the sky, Reed called down a mighty bolt of lightning, that struck at one of the Maruts.

Rumbling Storm Bolt against Marut 1.
[roll0] vs Reflex
[roll1] Lightning damage (ignores resistance, if any)
Slide the Marut 7 squares, diagonally past the Aspect. So it ends up just down and right from the Aspect.

Secondary attack on the Aspect:
[roll2]
[roll3] Thunder damage and knocked prone

Defenses: 39 AC, 32 Fort, 37 Ref, 42 Will
+2 AC vs AoO, +5 vs Fear, Resist 30 Lightning, Resist 30 Thunder, Resist 5 all

HP:172/172

[senrath]

((That second attack was vs Fortitude.))

[Shadow_Elf]

((Nevermind, leave Kar'oor weakened. His club will hurt y'all less that way :smallannoyed:. Also, Shular, his immediate actions are gone too, if he's dazed, to its immaterial whether moving provokes in this case.

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm stupid, the effect specifically inhibits AoOs... I need to learn to read :smallredface:))

[Tequila Sunrise]

That bolt hits the aspect even if the primary attack missed, right?

@ Shular: Well I’ll be damned, it turns out immediate actions aren’t opportunity actions, so go ahead and roll Yegash’s attack. (Stupid combat challenge!) Half of Dem’s attack are burst or blast, so blindness isn’t as much a problem as a hero would hope. The slow happens every round at the beginning of your turn. You (or I) roll 1d20; on a 10 or higher, you’re slowed until next turn. (And when I say ‘you,’ I mean enemies within 10 of Dem.)

In fact, I’ll go ahead and roll the slow rolls for next round:
Kar’oor [roll0]
Trelawn [roll1]
Grunthor [roll2]
Reed [roll3]
Yegash [roll4]
(Though Reed and Yegash aren’t actually slowed until next round even if they get hit.)

[Shadow_Elf]

((The Aspect is really shooting itself in the foot here - he's Mind Controlled one of the strikers, but he's also weakened and slowed him. He'll be doing half-damage basic attacks at best... :smalltongue: For once, I am glad that I have more than one condition on me.))

[Shular]

Yegash

(Yegash won't get Combat Challenge attack because target didn't shift, it moved, which would provoke OA, which Yegash is denied.)

Yegash grows frustrated, and is determined to get the attention of the Maruts. He shifts into a position that allows him to swing at one demon, and breath on the other two.

Yegash moves adjacent to #2 and 3. Breath attack on #1 and 2, then Reaping Strike on #3,. All three Maruts are marked.

Flame Breath on #1 and #2:
Attack: on #1 [roll0]
#2 [roll1]
Damage: [roll2] fire damage, ignores 20 points of fire resistance

Reaping Strike on #3:
Attack: [roll3] vs AC
Hit: [roll4] damage plus [roll5] fire damage (ignore 20 points of fire resist) from Dragonbreath Warrior feat
Miss: 7 damage

Yeah, the breath weapon is unlikely to hit, but the main goal is to mark them.

[Shular]

((The Aspect is really shooting itself in the foot here - he's Mind Controlled one of the strikers, but he's also weakened and slowed him. He'll be doing half-damage basic attacks at best... :smalltongue: For once, I am glad that I have more than one condition on me.))

On the other hand, the party's biggest damage dealer (thus far) is not doing damage to his own forces. And the slow won't kick in until after Kar'oor has gone. He can, I believe, still use at-will powers.

[Tequila Sunrise]

Yegash knicks one marut, but leaves the other two unsinged. It is now Kar’oor’s turn because, much to my frustration, I believe he had Grunthor’s defense buff when the aspect tried to dominate him. :smallfurious:

PS I'll likely only post once tomorrow, due to a final exam. Cya!

Shadow, did you count the healing word Grunthor gave Kar-oor last round? (Healing surge + 29 if you missed it, which is also where the +2 to all defenses that saved you from being dominated came from. :smallbiggrin:)

((Mwahahaha, I've been waiting for this turn to finally come... ))

Backed into the pillar with no breathing room, Trelawn decides to make his escape as painful as possible. With only a short breath he batters the minds of the Maruts to distract them. To follow it up, he unleashes a burst of light and color; every color of the spectrum, in fact, a source of great power that few exploit these days. With his foes reeling, he makes his getaway, flying up onto the middle of the pillar behind him.


Minor Action: Use Winged Horde (burst 1) via Quickened Spellcating, centered on his square and omitting his square.
Attack (Will):
[roll0] or [roll1] vs. Marut 1
[roll2] or [roll3] vs. Marut 2
[roll4] or [roll5] vs. Marut 3
Hit:
[roll6] psychic damage vs. Marut 1
[roll7] psychic damage vs. Marut 2
[roll8] psychic damage vs. Marut 3
Any target hit takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls and cannot take opportunity actions UEoNT.

Standard Action: Use Prismatic Spray (close burst 5), omitting Reed and Yegash's squares (sorry Kar'oor, your defenses are all great and theirs not so much; War Wizardry will help).
Attack (Fort, Ref, Will):
[roll9] or [roll10] vs. Marut 1
[roll11] or [roll12] vs. Marut 2
[roll13] or [roll14] vs. Marut 3
[roll15] or [roll16] vs. Aspect of Demogorgon
[roll17] or [roll18] vs. Kar'oor
Hit:
[roll19] poison (Fort), [roll20] fire (Ref) vs. Marut 1
[roll21] poison (Fort), [roll22] fire (Ref) vs. Marut 2
[roll23] poison (Fort), [roll24] fire (Ref) vs. Marut 3
[roll25] poison (Fort), [roll26] fire (Ref) vs. Aspect of Demogorgon
[roll27] poison (Fort), [roll28] fire (Ref) vs. Kar'oor [Takes half damage]
If Fort is hit, target takes 15 ongoing poison (save ends). If Ref is hit, target takes 15 ongoing fire (save ends). If Will is hit, target is stunned (save ends). All targets take -4 to saves against these effects, and save against each effect separately.

Move Action: Fly 3 squares up and 2 squares W-SW to middle square of pillar.

[Enlightened1]

((FYI, the only thing I edited about my last post was to put in the spoiler tags properly. Sorry again Kar'oor!))

[Enlightened1]

((Also noting that Winged Horde was a critical hit against Marut 1.))

Hit:
18 psychic damage plus [roll0] damage from Defensive Staff

[Enlightened1]

((Okay, end of my turn, I promise!))

With his last bit of effort, Trelawn summons up the pocket of spacetime he gathered up but a few seconds ago, sprinting as far away from the inevitables as he can.


Move Action: Using the free move action he gained from his Action Point, Trelawn flies 6 squares to the middle of the pillar immediately SW of him.

[Shadow_Elf]

((Can you take the lower of your two rolls against Kar'oor, thus missing him? That'd be nice.))

[Enlightened1]

((True enough, I can take either roll! Consider him missed :smallbiggrin:))

[Shular]

((All the attacks miss Kar'oor. Grunthor's +2 to all defenses is still active until Grunthor's turn, giving you 44 fort, 43 ref, and 44 will :smallbiggrin:

I need to be sure of everything that happens here before I act. As I understand it, Winged Horde is not a close burst (even though it's being used that way), and so will provoke opportunity attacks from the three Marut's, unless Trelawn has some way to avoid that. However, his Prismatic Spray hits all 4 enemies, doing poison and fire damage and stunning all the targets. Do any of them appear unaffected by the fire portion (i.e. fire resistance)?

Looks like Kar'oor was critted, and so took 24 damage plus 10 ongoing. Putting him 47 hp down?

K, I just need to see how much (if any) damage Trelawn takes from the opportunity attacks, then I can decide if I'll be using healing word or something else. This slow is REALLY annoying. With Aspect stunned I could freely move through his space, but I don't have enough movement to get to the other side.))

[Shadow_Elf]

((Hurray for being missed by small numbers!

In other news, Kar'oor can currently shift faster than he can walk :smallamused:.))

[Shular]

((Hurray for being missed by small numbers!

In other news, Kar'oor can currently shift faster than he can walk :smallamused:.))

Sadly, the slow applies to all movement except teleportation, pull, push, or slide (page 277), unless you have something (item or ability) that allows you to ignore it. Otherwise I'd be able to use power that allows me to shift 5 in between attacks. :smallannoyed:.

[Enlightened1]

((Funny, for some reason I thought that if I used Winged Horde as a minor action with Quickened Spellcasting, it wouldn't provoke. Old 3.5 habits die hard I suppose... :smallannoyed:))

[Tequila Sunrise]

The maruts all take opportunity swings against Trelawn, which means that Yegash can slash at one of them…

#1 [roll0] vs AC;
#2 [roll1] vs AC;
#3 [roll2] vs AC;
[roll3] damage plus [roll4] thunder damage if hit.

Trelawn’s first spell affects two out of the three maruts. Which, unless I’m mistaken, makes Trelawn dazed…

Which makes it Grunthor’s turn!

(I just realized that the maruts have regeneration, so I’m giving them a few more hp. I don’t care to figure exactly how long each marut has been taking damage, so I’ll just lowball it at 2 rounds each.)

((I'm AFB at the moment, but the way I understood it/ had it explained to me is that all the attacks have to miss for it to be considered a "miss". Otherwise, with Prismatic Spray, it would be possible to both "hit" and "miss" with the same attack since it targets different defenses. Just like I couldn't opt out of rolling twice for Kar'oor, the whole attack has to miss for the ability to come into effect.))

[Shular]

((Well, regardless of what else happened, Trelawn just got critted, so that makes my decision a little easier.))

Grunthor

Cursing the slowness that is preventing him from grouping up with the others, but sensing the huge aspect beginning to weaken, Grunthor continues his assault, while throwing more healing towards his companions.

Minor action: Healing Word on Trelawn and Kar'oor. Spend a healing surge and heal an extra [roll0]

Standard action: Priest's Shield attack on aspect
Attack: [roll1] vs. AC (+1 back to wall, +2 combat advantage)
Hit: [roll2] damage, and +1 power bonus to AC until end of next turn.

[Tequila Sunrise]

I got a second [unofficial] opinion on Terrifying Insight, and my reading was reinforced. I suspect the designers weren’t thinking of area-attack-using wizards when they wrote the ability. In any case, if you can find an official source to prove me wrong, I’ll consider myself wiser.

(Most marut attacks knock the target prone on a crit, so Trelawn’s now prone. I’d feel bad about beating on your man, Enlightened1, if he wasn’t an epic hero.)

Maruts #2 and #3 shift, and then all three attack Trelawn and Yegash. #3 uses a melee attack, so Yegash can take his free attack.
#1 vs. Trelawn; [roll0]; [roll1] damage plus [roll2] thunder damage if hit.
#2 vs. Trelawn; [roll3]; #2 vs. Yegash; [roll4]; [roll5] damage plus [roll6] thunder damage if hit.
#3 vs. Trelawn; [roll7]; [roll8] damage plus [roll9] thunder damage if hit.

The aspect attempts to recharge [roll10]…

The aspect lashes out at Grunthor and Kar’oor with its tentacles…
Vs. Grunthor [roll0] vs Fort;
Vs. Kar’oor [roll1] vs Fort; [roll2] damage and ongoing 10 damage (save ends). If you are already taking ongoing damage, increase it by 5.

Yegash

As the three Maruts attack Trelawn, Yegash takes advantage of the opening they leave to slash at one himself.

Combat challenge attack on Marut #3 (sorry missed your comment before, with so many options PbP can get a little confusing...doesn't help running two characters lol):
Reaping Strike:
Attack: [roll0] vs AC
Hit: [roll1]
Miss: 7 damage


After Reed's burst, Yegash steps to the side, then hurls himself in a forceful attack on the marut he'd just swung at a moment before.


Shift 1 square east to get flank on #3
Blood Rush (Enc)
Attack: [roll2] vs AC
Damage: [roll3] (does extra damage because target is bloodied)
Hit or miss: Target is marked

[Shular]

((As an aside, Yegash is really poorly built IMO. He has few multi-target powers, and with a low to-hit modifier targets will just ignore his marks. :smallannoyed:))

[Shular]

((Oh, Yegash got a second opportunity attack. See? Confusing :smallbiggrin:))

Also on #3
Reaping Strike
Attack: [roll0] vs AC
Hit: [roll1]
Miss: 7 damage

[Shadow_Elf]

((Trelawn is Dazed and cannot flank with Yegash, hence he misses by even more :smalltongue: Additionally, I have a query - slowed applies only to speeds and movement modes, but it does NOT apply to powers that do not reference speed or movement mode, yes? This'll be important for when Kar'oor take his turn.))

[Shadow_Elf]

((Gunna assume my interpretation is RAW valid and go ahead and pwn some Marut faces.))

We should focus on annihilating the corrupted inevitables! They are like the hornets that sting you as you square off against the bear - they must be splattered across a tree before one can truly combat the true threat. With that, a roll of psionic thunder carries Kar'oor to stand above the fallen wizard, cudgel and dagger digging into the surrounding Maruts with abandon.

HP: 161/171,

Free Action: Enter Five Storms Full Discipline
Move Action: Movement Technique, shift 3 into Trelawn's space.
Standard Action: Attack Technique, CB1
Free Action: Flurries

Five Storms
Attack vs. Marut #1: [roll0] vs Reflex
Hit: [roll1]

Attack vs. Marut #2: [roll2] vs. Reflex
Hit: [roll3]

Attack vs. Marut #3: [roll4] vs. Reflex
Hit: [roll5]

If any of those attacks land, all three take 17 autodamage and the Aspect takes 23 damage.

End Turn. Save Vs. Ongoing: [roll6]

[Shadow_Elf]

Reroll vs. #3
[roll0]

[Enlightened1]

((Well that was a really wasteful and painful way to learn that lesson. I would have taken my turn quite differently. At least I got my daily back, since I couldn't use it after I got dazed... :smallannoyed:))

HP: 138/165 [Grunthor brought me to full HP, Marut 1 did 37 damage afterwards]

Battered and bruised, but not down for the count, Trelawn makes a last-ditch effort to shed these pesky constructs for good.

Move Action: Fly up 3 squares, W-SW 3 squares to SW edge of pillar.

[Enlightened1]

HP: 128/165 [My bad]

[Tequila Sunrise]

Reed’s spell hits the first marut, but misses the second. Yegash’s third swing connects solidly. (Btw, as I wrote in my 16 recruitment answers, my only house rule is that you don’t have to be exactly opposite of your ally to flank. So I didn’t shift Yegash, ‘cause I figured you’d want him to keep adjacent to two maruts if possible. If you’d still like to shift, let me know.)

@Enlightened1, in retrospect I should have given you the chance to redo your turn when the dazed issue came up. I guess I just wanted to move the game along, especially since I spent a day looking for a second opinion. My apologies.

@ Shadow Elf, I can’t find any clarifying errata on the slowed issue (and I’ve yet to get a single answer out of the FAQ). What exactly do you mean by “powers that don’t reference speed or movement?” Five Storms allows a 2 square shift, which seems to be a clear reference to something that the slow condition limits. So I’m leaning toward ‘no’ right now, but as I told Enlightened1, if you can find something to prove me wrong, I’ll consider myself wiser. Otherwise, feel free to rethink your actions, and remember that the aspect is blind and therefore incapable of OAs.

[Shadow_Elf]

((On the issue of slowed:
Five Storms allows a shift of 2 - Long Stride increases this to three, and the Diamond Soul level 24 feature increases it to four. Slowed only affects speeds and powers that specifically reference speed. For example, while slowed, a power which says "you shift a number of squares equal to half your speed" lets you shift a mere 1 square, since that is half of two, but a power which says "you shift 3 squares" lets you shift 3 squares, regardless of the slowed, by RAW. Another example is powers that grant extra movement modes vs. powers that let you move. "You gain a fly speed of 8 until the end of the encounter" is limited to 2 by a slow, but "You fly 8 squares" on a one-off ability lets you fly the full eight, since it is not a fly speed. I'm pretty sure this is the standard interpretation of slowed. Its further reinforced by the fact that immobilize inhibits movement of any sort, instead of likewise specifying that "your movement speeds are all reduced to 0", or a similar wording to slow.

Explanation spoilered for length.))

[Shular]

((Hopefully we'll not get too caught up with this issue. I had not been using powers that let me attack different targets and shift 5 between each attack with the assumption that the slow would not allow me to shift more than two, but Shadow_Elf makes good points on the rules as written. However, Tequila has finally say on his interpretation of rules as intended, as well as how he believes it should work.

So please, a final decision, then can we continue the combat? Okaythanks. :smallbiggrin:))

[Shadow_Elf]

((Oh yes, definitely, I don't mean to slow down the thread with my rules lawyering, I was just eager to get Kar'oor to use his crazy at-will burst combo - this is, after all, precisely the situation he has this power for. If its a no-go, I'll do something different with my turn, I don't really mind, but I was reasonably certain I was working off the usual RAW interpretation. Rule 0 > RAW, of course.))

[Tequila Sunrise]

My second opinion says Shadow Elf is right, so we’ll use his way. (I’d probably rule according to what I think is the spirit of the rule at my home game, but I’d rather stick to RAW with strangers. Excepting, of course, those times where RAW is blatantly messed up.)

Two of Kar’oor’s attacks connect! The aspect attempts to recharge...[roll0]

[Tequila Sunrise]

Aameul lashes out again with his tentacles…

Vs. Grunthor [roll0] vs Fort; [roll1] damage and 10 ongoing damage (save ends) if hit. If you are already taking ongoing damage, increase it by 5.

[Tequila Sunrise]

Two bad guys are down to double digit hit points, and it's Trelawn's turn!

What type of damage do the tentacles do?

[Shular]

((Trelawn's action was given in post #170 I believe. Does his flying provoke OA?

Can I get a health update please? My remaining encounter powers allow people to use healing surges, so I'd like to know if there's anyone who needs it. The fight seems to be nearing its end, so I'd rather not use a daily if I don't need to.))

[senrath]

((The last healing bumped me to full, and I haven't been hurt since.))

[Enlightened1]

((Trelawn's turn and HP are in posts #170 and #171, respectively. I'm pretty sure flying provokes attacks of opportunity like normal movement, but it's a chance I gotta take!))

((Early in the fight, the aspects tentacles were attacking reflex and doing necrotic damage. For the latter part, they've been attacking fort but the damage type hasn't been specified. Is it still necrotic?

The attack vs Reflex (Inescapable Grasp) weakens and does necrotic damage? (From the name you'd think it would immobilize or slow or something)

Grunthor

Grunthor winces in pain as the effect from the aspect's attack continues. Doing his best to ignore it, he call's on Bane's wrath and blessing. His blade glows with power, assailing the massive demon and refreshing both Grunthor and the injured Trelawn.

Grunthor takes 15 ongoing damage, and is at 124/173.
Divine Ferver on aspect
Attack: [roll0] vs AC (+2 if he still has flank from Kar'oor)

[Shadow_Elf]

((How many squares did that Marut pull me? Because I get to shift a number of squares equal to the pull afterwards because of the Master of Winds Stance, which might let me get out of Reed's potential burst.))

[Shular]

((I should have said Grunthor is hit by the Aspect's attack. But yeah, how far is the pull?))

[Tequila Sunrise]

The pull effect is “to a space adjacent to the marut,” so I’m going to go with ‘0 squares pulled’ for everyone except Reed. And Yegash hits with his free attack!

[Shular]

((Waiting on Reed?))

[Shadow_Elf]

((Tequila, this is kinda weird, but since it pulls me zero squares, I should get to shift 0 squares, yes? And because I add two to each shift I perform, I should get to shift 2 squares? Its kinda a shaky interpretation, but if Reed wants to do a burst, it could be the difference between Kar'oor getting lightning-pwned and no getting hit at all.))

[Tequila Sunrise]

Yeah, why not Shadow Elf? Where do you want to shift to?

[senrath]

((My attack is a Burst 1, so I need to plant it directly where he is now. If he shifts 2 squares in any single direction, he should be fine.))

[Tequila Sunrise]

I have a feeling I'm going to regret this, but consider Kar'oor out of the way.

[senrath]

((Eh, it shouldn't be too bad.))

Lightly stepping to the side and calling once more upon the might of storms, Reed brought down a massive bolt of lightning directly between the three corrupted Inevitables. "Fry!"

Shifting up and to the left, then using Thunderstroke on all three Maruts.

Marut 1: [roll0] vs Reflex
Marut 2: [roll1] vs Reflex
Marut 3: [roll2] vs Reflex
Damage: [roll3] thunder damage. +6 more against the two bloodied Maruts, thanks to my Gauntlets of Blood (epic tier).

All targets hit are knocked prone, no save.

[Tequila Sunrise]

Reed’s spell hits one marut, but it doesn’t fry as badly as most creatures fry. (Maruts are thunder resistant.)

Yegash flies up to the top of the pedestal, ignoring his enemies, and exhales a small ball of flame that suddenly explodes, engulfing the three maruts in fire. He then charges at the aspect, aiming his blad for one of the grotesque heads.

((Trelawn is up, then I'll give Grunthor's actions))

[Tequila Sunrise]

Enlightened1 seems to be MIA. How have the first two fights looked to you guys, now that the second is pretty much over?

[Shular]

How have they looked in what way?

In terms of PbP, the posting rate hasn't been too bad, with a couple exceptions, so it's been progressing well enough.

In terms of challenge, the difference between an all minion encounter and all non-minion is obvious. The first encounter was a cakewalk, this one has been much more interesting. That being said, I've been avoiding using daily powers (that will change when my turn comes up), so perhaps my power output has not been as significant as it could be.

Overall, I'm finding the status conditions (prone, blind, etc) have major influence, monks deal a LOT of damage, and priests really should not get seperated from the rest of the party.

[Tequila Sunrise]

Hm, it's looking like a good time to look for recruits for the defender and controller positions, unless Enlightened1 returns soon.

How about hit rate so far? From my PoV, it seems that PCs with a multi- or reroll 'gimmick' hit pretty consistently, while PCs like Yegash miss disappointingly often. Of course, this is only the second fight. :smallamused:

Haha, yeah, damage doesn't seem to be very scary. I've been hoping that my dominating glare will recharge once more before this fight ends, but I don't think that's likely. *sigh*

[Shadow_Elf]

((I find that Kar'oor's hit rate is kinda disappointingly low, but his 1/round reroll from the level 30 feature of Diamond Soul goes a long way towards rectifying that. If we were playing at level 29, his accuracy would be really quite terrible, since the average level 29 has a 41 NAD, and Kar'oor would be @ +29 vs. NADs with no rerolls, meaning he hits on a 12+, which is kinda abysmal, as PC hit rates go. Compare a level 10 up against a level 10 monster; Say, 16 attack stat +2 racial +2 levels is 20, which is a +5 modifier. +3 Implement, +5 Half Level, total of +12. The monsters have an average NAD of 22, so this theoretical level 10 hits on a 10+, or 10% more often. That's quite the gap.

Also, I found the all-minion encounter laughably easy, and a little disappointing, since I blew a daily with decent damage on a boatload of minions. I find minions work best with a) stacking auras/mob bonuses and/or b) mixed in with units that complement them and make effective use of the expendable meat shields.

This encounter is quite nice, especially with the pillars, since Kar'oor's ridiculous movement capabilities are actually coming into play here.

So far, so good, but I think that an inherent +1 Attack, at level 16 and another +1 Attack AND +1 NADs at level 26 would be a good houserule, and then banning all the Expertise feats and Paragon Defense/Robust Defense feats.))

[Shular]

((To be fair, I don't think Yegash was particularly well built, so his missing has a lot to do with that. A fighter needs lots of multi-target attacks so that he can mark more often, and he needs to be able to maneuver around the battlefield to get in the best position. However, if he can't hit, then creatures will ignore his free attacks. Consider, the cleric's normal attack modifier is 2 higher than the fighter's.))

[Tequila Sunrise]

Well, it looks like we either need two new players, or call it quits. I could open a new recruit thread, but new characters would have to start down a surge or two and possibly a daily (whatever Yegash and Trelawn have used), which'll be a turn-off for potential players.

It's clear that minimally optimized PCs like Yegash, and even decently optimized ones like Kar'oor can be frustrating to play. (And I'm betting that Enlightened1 was pretty frustrated when his multi-roll 'gimmick' wasn't as great as he thought.) I certainly have a field day using vs. NAD attacks against you guys. So I could go either way; what do you guys think?

[senrath]

I'd be willing to continue if we can get some replacements.

[Shadow_Elf]

((I'm all for continuing, under whatever conditions we need to make it work.))

[Shular]

Sorry for absence. Busy day. I'll be okay with whatever you decide.

I think we can see how the static bonuses are important in the end game. Whether leaving those bonuses as feats or giving flat bonuses (as Shadow Elf suggested), they should be there. On the other hand, we're still doing well in this fight, and with a more optimally built defender I think we would have had an easier time of it.

[Tequila Sunrise]

After congratulating each other on their second victory of the day, you trek into the very heart of the Abyss. At last you come upon the great temple of Demogorgon, his personal fortress of rage, malice and insanity. After fighting through inconsequential hordes of minor demons and guardians, you come upon a hideous ritual in progress.

Three winged once-angelic figures chant around a black altar and the motionless body lying atop it. A hulking man, twice the size of a normal mortal, stands over the altar. As you enter, he turns to you with his gory sword and axe and laughs. “So you are the hope of humanity; the heroes prophesied by the Oracle of Delphi herself. Well, you’re too late. I just butchered your precious Oracle and sang the song of Twin Woes, which makes me the prophesied victor. I am Kazuul, and now you will die!” (You must defeat Kazuul so that the altar can be broken, which will summon Demogorgon in the flesh.)

So let’s roll initiative!

Yes, assume you guys had as many short rests as you needed to heal up. And any character who fought through the first two encounters gets an action point and milestone. Assuming our fifth player gets my PM today, Yegash won't be needed. If Anonomuss doesn't show though, I'll ask you to run Yegash again, since you're such a good sport! :smallbiggrin:

Unfortunately I have some bad news for everyone: next week I'm going away to take a life guarding course, so as much as I hate to say it, I have to postpone until Friday. Stupid real life.

[Shadow_Elf]

((S'alright. I did that course - its exhausting, but worthwhile and if the instructor's good, it can even be fun. Enjoy!))

Acknowledged. I'll check in every once in a while to remind myself.

I'm assuming that, with Anonomuss' defender, I don't need to worry about Yegash.
