I liked this one, but we lost half the players to real life at a time when I was heroically busy. It counts as an honourable failure on the roster - and the only game I've ever deliberately put on hiatus.
Immed Interrupt Warden's Grasp, before the attack is resolved against Urlag, slide I to F8, target slowed and cannot shift until the end of its turn
move to E7

Weight of Earth against I, 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 vs ac; 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15 and the target is slowed until the end of my next turn
Tenja forces vines to pull the Kenku towards himself, and rushes in to strike.
Tenja yanks the Inciter back towards him, just preventing Urlag from being engulfted, but fails to do any more damage.
The gelatinous cube rumbles and starts to digest the free meal. Noticing the Wing Mage, it slams against it hoping to add him to the feast on offer. Bulky already with elf, the effort is a half-hearted one and the Wing Mage breathes again.

Remember to check my block on my last post if you're adjacent to me on your turn, there will always be a benefit.
Kith slides past Tenja and swings her hammger at the Inciter.
Shift to E8. Word of Exchange, targets AC. 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29, on hit: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 normal damage and 3 fire damage (the latter from her Elemental Legacy power). In addition, until EOMNT it has -2 to all defenses, and my next ally to hit it gains +3 to AC, also until EOMNT
Crit, and I rolled max damage base, but need to add: 1d6 ⇒ 6. See, the dice roller can be good and bad.

Status:
"I hope everyone has been enjoying the show so far? Good. Now, for my next trick, watch this crow die." The inciter sees a shadow flit behind it, feels a knife slip between the cracks in his armor. Then it stops, leaving him with nothing but the memories of pain.
Move to E4 and Illusory Ambush on I(vs Will, Psychic damage, -2 attack until EOMNT):1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
The memories of pain prove to unsettle the kenku less than Zareth expected.

Simply because I don't know, is it possible for someone to grab Kel and pull him out of the cube? Or would that be an 'aid another' to his own attempt?
I think you can either use a standard action to grant him a +2 to his own escape attempt, or take a standard action to try and pull him free using a strength check (i.e. you'd be grabbing him to get him out. In either case, I think you would have to be adjacent to him.
My DM profile was wiped out completely earlier today. I'll be rebuilding it, but it's going to take a while. Just make sure your own profiles are still there and intact.
I got a 10 str. I'm in the right position, but I suck at strength. Rev, is it possible for me to drop down the other side and pull him up? I would take falling damage, of course. I am sure I weigh more than him.
Shaking the arrow from its feathers, the Wing Mage shoots a look of extreme dislike at Kel and flaps to the top of the niche before conjuring a vicious wind to sweep Kel and Andrus into the gelatinous cube.
Move to G5 taking OA from cube.

Silly question, perhaps, but wouldn't the Hurricane Blast also target the cube? Sure, the Wing Mage could choose not to move it, should he hit, but it could take damage.
It's not a silly question, and indeed it's one I dithered over for ages as I'd quite like to have hit it and slid it round the corner! PHB seems to imply that a blast is one square deep, but if anyone knows differently, I'd love to know.

The PH shows a close blast 1, which totally surrounds the caster. A Close Blast 3 should do the same, except out to 3 squares. So, if the power is 'all creatures in area', it should get the Cube. If it's 'all enemies' it shouldn't. At least that's how it seems to me.
Andrus says a little prayer to Avandra and twists his body to get free.
escape a grab- Acrobatics vs Cube's Ref, +3 vs Ref, 15+3=18, is it enough? and furthermore, can I do anything else? if i escape, escape to I9. Then use an action point to move to K6. Then he will say a prayer of thanks.
the wing mage moved to G5, then blasted me into the cube. so his movement could've have tiggered a OA from me. flying isn't shifting and he flew past me. (i think) rev will know. I wasn't dazed until I landed in the jello cube.
oh, and Rev, in order to check and see if I should get a OA, I went back and noticed that the Wing Mage should have been dazed from my command power until the end of the my next turn. while the inciter would have freed him from the cube and its dazing power, the dazed status from my power should have affected him on his next turn since he is before me in the initiative order. technically speaking, he could not have dunked Kel and me into the cube since he needed to get up to my level to do so. he took a move and a standard. Unless he could blast us from where he was. let me know.

Close burst, I'd go with the consensus -- all directions. Close blast is less clear to me. It might be in a plane, or it could be projecting a cube. I don't think there's evidence in the PHB either way.
I seem to have made a comprehensive mess of this fight one way and another. This is what comes of trying to strip plum trees and organise next term's work for 150 students.
Right. This is how it now looks to me:
1. Wing Mage was dazed on his turn and couldn't have moved. He could, however have attacked Kel and Andrus with his blast if I accept that a blast does affect a cubed area.
2. In that case, he would still have hit Kel and Andrus, but not the cube, since he wouldn't need to include it in the attack at all.
3. He would suffer an OA from the cube, which I shall now roll.
Slam v Wing Mage (Fort)
1d20+10=24. Hits. 2d6+2=10 damage and Wing Mage is immobilised (se)
Andrus breaks free of the cube's loving embrace and shakes jelly from his shoes.
Andrus - escape is a move action and includes a shift as part of it. You still have a standard and a minor left if you'd like to use them. If you choose not to use your AP, that is fine, just let me know in your next post.

Guessing from Andrus's previous post that he's not attacking the Inciter this turn, so I'll go ahead.
Urlag wipes blood from his jaw as he grins. "Maybe so, but I'll still be doing it after today." Urlag's chain is a blur as he lashes twice -- thrice -- at the inciter, then the half-orc glides away from the melee (and the cube).
Twin Strikes vs AC; 1d6 Quarry damage on the first blow to hit.1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 4) + 2 = 7
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 2 = 8
1d6 ⇒ 6Looks like one hit for 13. Neglected the flank bonus, but probably wouldn't matter for either.
If the Inciter is still up, Off-Hand Strike as a Minor vs AC. If not, Minor to make the Cube my quarry.1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 11 + 2 = 20

sorry, had to work closing today. by the by, I am now among the working class again. (YEAH!) No AP, use my standard to move to K6. How is everyone? If you need healing, speak up. for my minor, I'll put my rope back in my backpack.
EDIT: Kel, escape next round and I'll heal you. you have training in acrobatics, right? with your dex, you should have a good chance. I'm staying away from Wing Mage and his blasts of wind that slide me into Jello molds
"I'm moving around the niche to join you guys" Andrus calls out to Urlag and Kitherra and Tenja. "Watch out, they've got a gelantious cube around the corner. Kel and I got blown in by that flying Kenku. He can summon winds to throw you around. Be careful. I got out, Kel is still trying to escape."
just updating the rest of the team to what happened to me and Kel and to beware the wing mage and the cube.
Urlag's chains wind into the badly wounded Inciter, but don't finish the crowman.
Can I have a Perception check, please Urlag?
Making its last stand, the Inciter swings once more at Tenja, back to the wall in a very literal way.

Doubt it, but you never know. Since I will be at work, I will tell you what will happen in each event, if the Kenku lives, I will remark him, if he dies I wish to move to H9 and mark the cube.
As Tenja tries to finish the crowmen, Urlag feels an unpleasant sensation at his back. A second cube advances from where it was hidden in the doorway and slams into him.

Pat's right. Being engulfed is an effect. No rolls are involved. The engulf itself is an attack, except that it is an auto-hit on immobilised creatures.

Kitherra smiles grimly as the Inciter falls and calls out "Good job." to Zareth and then she's moving.
Move to H8.
As she reaches the cube, she invokes a rune to aid her allies.
Minor Action: Shield of Sacrifice. Close Burst 5, targeting me. The target loses a healing surge. 1 or 2 allies in the burst: Kel and Urlag, each regain HPs as if they had spent a healing surge. In addition, Kith, Kel, and Urlag all gain +5 AC until EOMNT.
After she invokes the rune, she swings her hammer at the creature.
Word of Diminishment vs AC. 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29. On hit: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 damage and the cube gains Vulernable 2 (5 vs OAs) until EOMNT.
