Mountain moves a bit to his right, out of the whirling cloud of shrapnel, keeping a close eye of Lasser. He lashes out with a quick slice, looking to nick Daermor with the blade.

Typhus is up.

Typhus calls once more upon the Cold Star and curses the Flaming Corpse marked with a T: "May the Cold Light of the Void Between the Stars guide you to a quiet eternity!" He then uses his Frigid Darkness power:
Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18 vs Fort and Damage: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (4, 5) + 8 = 17 cold damage and the target grants Combat Advantage to all my allies until end of my next turn plus -1 penalty to AC.

Based on his recent experience, Rennik does not care to be too close to those mists. He moves to P20.

Barely standing with his epileptic twitching, Sgt. Lasser begins spastically thrashing out at unseen enemies only to damage himself in the process. Sgt. Lasser continues thrashing at unseen foes lowering his ability to attack.

"Mountain, will you just finish helping Lasser? I'm getting tired gentlemen." Malick looks at his former comrades.

"You're asking for help and we're doing our damndest. You gotta stop hurling body parts at us."

He shifts back a square. One square south please.

"Anyone badly hurt? Among the living, that is."

Inspiring Words at the disposal of anyone in need as a minor action.

Malick swings his halberd down on Sgt. Lasser cutting him in twain ending his epileptic fit and his insane plea for help. Then with a quip takes a casual step backwards.

Rennik is in that square, were would you like to move to.

MAP

P20 please. Just want to keep a nice halberd's distance between my chiseled good looks and Pvt Flamey.

Flint is up.
MAP

Is Lasser dead? If he isn't, Mountain gets a free shot at him.

Correct Map

Mountain is up.

MAP

Mountain growls hollowly and takes a swift swing at the undead creature.

Simple regular attack. Out of encounter powers and don't feel like wasting any dailies on the last guy

19 Vs. AC, very unlikely to hit.

14 damage on the very unlikely event that it does

Failed saves versus ongoing damage and slow

Typhus renews his curse upon the last of the walking dead and uses Dire Radiance!

Mountain attack fails but set up successful attacks from Typhus and Rennik sending Pvt. Daermor into a bloodied state.

Ferdinand is up.

Uh, unless I was still immobilized last turn I should of moved to L20, giving Mountain another +3 to his last attack and damage rolls. Anyway...

Ferdinand strikes Lasser again, the crackling aura around him slowing his future attacks.

2d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 4) + 5 = 10

"Goes against the grain to get this close, but I'm getting tired of your company Daemor. That's how it goes sometimes."

Malick sighs and moves alongside his flaming ex-comrade, flanking with Frederick and leaving a deliberate and inviting opening for the corpse to hit him.

"Flint, some good slicing would be really appreciated."

1d20 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22 - Brash Assault. Doesn't matter if it hits or misses. Daemor can make a basic melee attack against Malick with CA. If he does so, an ally within 5 squares can make a basic attack against Daemor with CA as a free action. Flint gets the attack. Malick gets thumped.

Doubt that hits, but just in case, 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Malik moves up and thrusts his halberd at Pvt. Daermor and slices a chunk of meat off his shoulder. Malik’s attacks leave him open for an attack from Pvt. Daermor who lashes out with his malformed fist and dosn't even come close to Malick.
1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Flint swings twice at the remaining corpse and retreats quickly away in anticipation of the flaming abberation quickly being dispatched and blowing up like the previous corpse.

Flint's daggers finish off Pvt. Daermor before he tumbles away from the flaming corpse. The flames flare with a popping sound before guttering out in an anti-climatic puff of smoke.

End of combat - 1,000xp each

As the sound of combat fades an eerie silence covers the camp making every breath sound like a shout. The strange mist stretching north to south as far as can be seen exudes a queasy menace. The mist billows in place nether advancing or fading, absorbing sound and light.

Hundreds of miles from the safety of Breeland, you six are all that can be accounted for out of the hundred that formed Ruing's Raiders.
What do you do?

The battle has left Rennik weary and disoriented. He stares off into the distance for a time, before abruptly shaking his head and saying, "I need to sit down," and he does so right where he was standing.

Short rest? Rennik needs a heal - he's just shy of bloodied. Can one of our leaders give a boost to the healing surge he's about to spend?

"Hey, Flint, Rennik! Catch." Ferdinand tosses a small vial to them before beginning to repair Mountain. "So, what do you think caused that?", he says, gesturing back at the mist.

Using Curative Admixture on Flint and Rennik (heal as if you spent a HS+4) and using Impart Energy on Mountain's weapon (Once today, wielder can, as free action, get +2 on their attack roll). So, anyone feel like donating a surge or two for more Infusions next encounter? (I'm also spending one, bringing me up to 68HP).

Flint downs the vial, "Much obliged, friend"
66/76 HP, 7/8 surges, 1AP, Does Flint lose a healing surge for drinking the vial or no? He'll donate one to Ferdinand anyways for an infusion of Ferdinand's choosing, doesn't have to be for Flint.
Flint moves to inspect the fog closely to determine it's substance or anything about it.
Perception Check, 1d20+10=12

Rennik takes the infusion and seems much rejuvenated. He joins Ferdinand in the creation of the infusions. I can spare a healing surge.

Nope, this healing is free. Also, you don't have to give me surges for me to heal you, I just need two surges from someone so I can use two infusions next battle.

Nope, this healing is free. Also, you don't have to give me surges for me to heal you, I just need two surges from someone so I can use two infusions next battle.

Aah, I missed the "as if" part of that. Nice. In that case, you can definitely have one of my surges for your infusions.

Since I've got one surge from Rennik and one from Flint, I don't need any more surges. If you want to give more, wait until after the next battle.

SITREP:
You are in Valenar, home to elves that would attack a group your size just for the “Honor “of it.

A few dozen miles to the north-east is the border of the Talenta Plains filled with treacherous bands of wandering Halflings.

To the east is an unnatural mist shrouding Cyre.

Supplies left in the remaining part of the camp:
1 Month food rations
8 horses
The equivalent of 10 adventures kits

Spending one healing surge and drinking two of my potions.

Mountain tosses two vials of blood red liquid into his mouth, crushing them with his jaws and sending small bits of glass tumbling down his chin. He grumbles and moves after a series of short repairs, brushing the ice from his joints. He speaks in heavy, leaden tones, his rumbling voice carrying across the small battlefield.

"Where is Col. Ruing? She shielded us, but was not amongst the transformed. Before we do anything else, I think we should discern her location if we can."

Malick scrapes the remnants of his former comrades of his halberd, grimacing slightly at the sound.

"Don't reckon we're so badly off. Got food, got transport and we know what to avoid. Last would be everyone. Don't know about y'all, but I'm for finding Blondie and getting our sweet selves out of here before that mist gets frisky and moves in on us."

He reslings the weapon and starts looking at where Ruing was last seen.

Spent one surge to get back to full hp.

Searching the surrounding area you find this amulet on the ground just inside the mist. Entwined in the cord are a few strands of golden blond hair.
All of you recognize it as Ruing’s, none have ever seen her without it. Whenever asked about it she would reply cryptically that the amulet would end the great war.

Malick

You can find no other trace of Col. Corm ir’Ruing outside of the mist.

Searching the mist un-tethered will require a perception test DC30 not to get lost and a DC35 to find anything. If you’re tethered You can’t get lost and you only need a DC 30 find anything.

I also need a Perception and religion test from everone please, high DC.

"Damn. This does not bode well."

Perception, Religion: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

"Damn. This does not bode well."

Perception, Religion: 1d20+12;1d20+10

Missed both.

Perception Check, 1d20+10=16 Religion Check, 1d20+5=19

A 32 failed?!? Well everyone, no real point in making Perception checks at this point, I have the highest modifier and rolled a 20 and still failed. (Not complaining, just hoping Xabulba misread my roll)
