Charge to L13. Luring Focus vs Fort on the Hammerer!
1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30

1d10 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

On a hit, pull the Spined Devil to M13

"Come doon an' help yer pal. ye wee procupine!" Dorvin jeers at the devil.

Isari and Dorvin between them nearly flatten the unfortunate dwarf, as Dorvin taunts infuriate the spined devil, luring the evil beastie off the comparative safety of the boiler.

The bolter glowers at Rusty, his gold-flecked eyes glinting with the lure of irresistible riches.

All that Glitters (Will). On hit target is pulled 5 squares and dazed (se)
1d20+8=12. Bolter v Rusty. Misses.

1d20=18. Save v daze.

Unwilling to give up easily, the Journeyman circles the clanking machinery and tries to wrap his whip around Isari's ankles. Finding his form at last, the lash bites into the swordmage pulling him off his feet and sending him sliding directly into Sebastian's line of fire.

Hindering Snare (Ref); Reach 3. On hit target is knocked prone.

Nayce veils himself in darkness and steps through the shadows to appear right beside Sebastian. In the blink of an eye, he slips a garrotte around the villain's neck.

One more shroud on Sebastian.

Cloak of Shades: Until the end of your next turn, you gain concealment against all creatures and are invisible to creatures that are more than 5 squares away from you.

Shadow Step to C15.

Black Garrotte on Sebastian using the 4 shrouds. 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21 vs Reflex. On a hit: You grab the target. Until the grab ends, the target takes a –5 penalty to all escape attempts and a –2 penalty to attack rolls against you. When the grab ends, the target takes 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier damage. Shroud damage (even though the attack does not deal damage in the first round, shroud damage can still apply): 4d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 4, 6) = 17

In the event that that misses, the power is reliable, so I would expend an action point to use it again 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29 vs Reflex. Otherwise as above. (Edit: That bonus is only +16 with my Action Surge feat, so subtract 2 - my bad.)

Swifter than thought and much less visible, Nayce transports himself on top of the boiler and starts to systematically strangle Sebastian. Sebastian's hands reach for his neck, desperately trying to break free, but to no avail.

Sweet move, Nayce. Sebastian has an immediate interrupt v Will - if it hits he gets resist 10 to damage from powers with the weapon keyword. Useable when he's targeted by a melee attack.
1d20+4=18 . . .
Which fails utterly.

The remaining goldspawn shift themselves around and try to use Quillan as target practice. Distracted by Nayce's surprise attack, the avenger is taken unawares and crossbow bolts skim across the room, embedding themselves deep in his armour.

Attack : 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34
Damage : 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Rusty's blow slams into the chortling devil and beleaguered hammerer which I think he meant rather than the out-of-reach bolter, and it is clear that the devil at least cannot last much longer.

Shifting away, it turns venomous eyes on the dragonborn before taking to the air once more and flying back to the safety of the machinery.

That's what I meant. Sorry!

Quillan breathing grows heavy as the mounting severity of his wounds get to him. Still, he presses on unabated, shouting his oath at the goldspawn in defiance and barreling towards the creature. If not for the weariness in his arms, the creature's life would be in dire straits.

Minor Action: Oath of Enmity on G4

Move Action: Move to B11

Standard Action: Bond of Retribution on G4 w/ OoE

Quillan remorselessly mallets the crazed goldspawn into the ground. As the dwarf crumples, it vomits forth the now familiar pile of gold.

Amenephus moves (to F11) and casts his Healer's Mercy.

Close Burst 5 - each bloodied ally in burst can spend a healing surge, but I'm weakened until the end of my next turn.

Save v Weakened: (1d20=2)

I'm is still weakened from the attack!

Amenephus is on 24hp out of 66, so I'm bloodied.

Rev DM

I'm in Amenuphus' burst, right?

I'm in Amenuphus' burst, right?

No, but you also aren't bloodied. I still am, by the way.

Rusty - you're not in Amenephus's burst.
Amenephus - unfortunately, you don't count as your own ally.

Amenephus deliberately moves among his comrades and draws deep on his own resources to heal them, briefly enfeebling himself in the process.

Gagging and gargling, Sebastian struggles to escape from Nayce's grip on his throat. He is utterly unable to do so, and makes the best of the situation, striking out frantically at his captor. Fumes burst around him, but to no avail.

Fuelled by anger, he at least manages to cast aside Amenephus's constricting halo.

Escape. 1d20+3=4. Epic fail.

Isari stands up and moves back to the journeyman. With a burst of energy, Isari swings his sword into the dwarf, knocking him back to Dorvin.

Stand up, move to J16 then spend an AP to use Be Gone on JG, teleporting him to L14 on a hit: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (3) + 18 = 21

2d10 + 7 ⇒ (2, 2) + 7 = 11

I cannot describe how much I hate these dice right now. (Assuming that missed, of course.)

The Journeyman goggles as Isari rises from the floor and advances on him. As the swordmage lunges towards him, he smashed the whip handle toward his face, but mistimes the blow. The only compensation is that the attack puts Isari off his stroke and the pair glare at each other with mutual loathing.

Immediate interrupt when targeted with a melee attack.

The Journeyman tries again, sending his whip towards Isari's eyes. Once again, he fails miserably. And may be starting to lose the will to live. He's only managed to hit twice the whole encounter.

In desperation, he calls on his mental powers to try and push the pesky swordmage further away. This time, his strength of mind is enough and the whip snakes around Isari's ankles, driving him backwards.

Put two shrouds on Sebastian using my Killer's Insight feat.

Sebastian struggles as the noose tightens around him and Nayce comes back into view.

The goldspawn moves to get line of sight on the assassin and unleashes a crossbow bolt. Alas for him, his aim is poor and the bolt falls far short.

The combination of Rusty's ferocious demeanour and his extremely accurate blow are too much for the still-dazed Hammerer. He faints.

Hammerer is on -8 and out cold.

Snickering, the spined devil flies over the companions and hovers beside the steam vent nearest to Nayce.

Double move avoiding OAs. Hovering 3 squares up.

The now familiar conjuration of the dwarven spirit in clerical vestments appears beside Nayce at the top of the boiler and also takes a defensive stance, glaring at the hovering devil.

Looking back at the party he shouts, "Anyone wanna' swat this big devil fly out of the air for me?"

"Come back here!" Dorvin growls.

Dorvin strides towards the errant bolter and clambers up the wall like a mail clad spider, eyeballing the miscreant.

Sebastian gurgles horribly and tries once more to break free from Nayce's deathgrip.

Escape at -5

Frantically, he clouts at the assassin's hands trying to turn his weapons against him and then calls on the heat of the mountain to aid him.

Isari walks around the remaining goldspawn and attempts to knock it out of this fight with a whip of lightning.

Ah, I see it now.

Isari's whip lashes out to no better effect than the Journeyman's.

High on the wall, the Bolter smacks precariously at Dorvin, but can't bypass the warlord's armour. In desperation, he braces himself and tries to push Dorvin backwards. That too fails.

The Journeyman looks at his own whip and sighs slightly before attempting to blind Rusty and push him away.

Hmm. I don't have access to the compendium at work... Does making an OA end the grab? If it does, I will take a pass on it. If it does not: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21 vs AC 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 damage.

Also, don't forget he gets -2 on attacks against me. I'm not sure whether you factored that in or not, but since you rolled a 22 against my 20 Reflex defense, it sounds like it would hit either way.

After that hit and the 5 fire damage at the beginning of my turn, Nayce is bloodied. HP 18/57.

As he is engulfed in flame, an amulet about Nayce's neck glows brightly and the flames go out. His grip about the garrotte tightens.

Rustry roars again, but this time the pain and outrage is real. All he can do is stand around helplessly while his eyesight recovers.

Save 1d20 ⇒ 20

Nayce - no didn't take the -2 into account, but 20 still hits you.

Nayce and Sebastian remain locked in lethal combat, both now bloodied but with Sebastian definitely getting the worse of the battle for now. Nayce's garrote tightens inexorably around his throat.

The last goldspawn aims a crossbow bolt at the assassin and takes cover behind another boiler.

Quillan - BLOODIED; (second wind used); +2 all defenses to start next turn (total defense)
Amenephus - +2 all defenses to start his next turn (second wind used)
Dorvin
Sebastian Ufastis (SU) - BLOODIED; grabbed (-5 penalty to escape rolls) and due to take 1d10+ whatever damage when he does escape; 3 shrouds
Isari - BLOODIED
Dwarf Bolter (Bo) - BLOODIED; clinging to the wall 3 squares up
Journeyman (JG)
Nayce - BLOODIED
Goldspawn 1
Rusty
Spined devil (SD) - BLOODIED; hovering 3 squares up

Quillan moves underneath the hovering spined devil.

"Come down here and fight like ya' have a pair!" taunts the dwarf at the devil.

Minor Action: Oath of Enmity on SD

Move Action: Move to A13

Standard Action: Total Defense; +2 to all defenses until the beginning of my next turn.

Amenephus braces himself for action, and casts a Lance of Faith against Sebastian:

Lance of Faith: 1d20+9 v Reflex; 1d8+5 radiant damage.

Rolls: (14)+9=23 v Reflex; (6)+5=11 radiant damage.

If that hits, an ally gains a +2 power bonus to his or her next attack roll against the target. Nayce, methinks.

Team

Quillan's taunts attract the spined devil's attention and it gestures rudely from the safety of the wall.

Amenephus ignores the vulgarity and sends divine light toward the grappling pair on the boiler, opening Sebastian's wounds even further and offering more opportunity to Nayce.

I assume I am next to the Bolter on the wall now? I'd like to try to grab him, please.
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Dorvin grunts and tries to get a hold on the other dwarf.
