Rev, Vol would be the hippogriff rider yes?

"Sorry, but it looks like I have bigger things to worry about than you and your Dreaming One"

Brujo draws his blade close and concentrates at the beast and it's rider. "You aren't the only one who learned a new trick he says to Perigia"

He draws on his internal energies until it's almost too much to hold. He exhails and with it comes a burst of orange-white flame, it covers anthing near but the true target of the burning energy is the rider.

Shielding Flame on Vol, 1d20+9=24 vs Fortitude; Damage 2d10+4=9 cold/fire, and Vol is marked as if from my Aegis of Shielding until the end of the encounter. This does not end existing marks placed by my Shielding Aegis, and using my Aegis power to mark another enemy does not end this mark. Miss: No damage, but same as above. Aegis of Shielding: Until the end of the encounter,
when you reduce the damage the target deals using aegis of
shielding, the target takes 9 fire damage. If the attack hits I use White Lotus Evasion to shift (minor) to I10.

Action Point

Incendiary Blade on S2, Hipp, Vol (origin square L11), 1d20+9=21, 22, 29; Damage 2d6+6=17 cold/fire (18 cold/fire for Vol), S2, Hipp and Vol take 7 fire damage if they make attacks that do not include me on their next turns.

Shift (move) to H11 only if Shileding Flame hit. If not than use White Lotus Evasion now to shift to I10.

Rev, Vol would be the hippogriff rider yes?

"Holy mother, Kelemvor still has need of your services, sorry Mirth I suspect the good mother may have some improtant information she needs to impart once these foes have been defeated," Leo calls out.

Inspiring word for the day on the Holy Mother she gets to spend a healing surge and regain an additional 1d6hp: +6hp on top of the usual quarter of her original hp

Brujo adds to the carnage, sending gouts of flame into the hippogriff and its rider, incinerating S2 in the process.

Leo, nobody has yet mentioned the albino girl's name.

I'm guessing B6 is probably on his last leg. Maybe Snaggletooth should try and attack B4 and leave B6 for either myself or Caine to finish? No sense wasting a 20+ dmg sneak attack on an enemy with half that many hit points (assuming I'm correct of course).

ok, so I am going to use riposte strike on B4. since he's dazed, I get CA. d20+14 vs. AC, 27, 1d4+4+2d8+3, 2+4+5+3= 14 hp damage.

If B4 is down, then I shift into his square at H3.

If he is not, I use an action point to hit B4 again. I use Caine's Bravura thing. d20+15, 27, 1d4+4, or 5hp. which gives me another attack. d20+14, 23, if hit, d4+4, or 7hp damage. (Hopefully B4 is dead on one of those attacks)

Now, if he went down on the first attack and I shifted into H3, I want to use my action point and both attacks against B6. So in that case, B6 takes the 12hp damage from the two Bravura action point attacks.

Hopefully, that made sense. I am just trying to clear the battlefield a bit.

Erik wades into danger once again with Caine and Snaggletooth after seeing the rest of the party handling the griffon rider rather well.

"Let us end these fools and join your friends."

With that, Erik takes a stab at one of the ambushers and uses the vibrations of his blade to create a temporary opening in their defense.

Move Action: Move to H6
Standard Action: Guiding Strike vs. S1; 1d20+14=33 vs. AC for 10 damage and S1 takes a -2 to AC until the end of my next turn.

Current HP: 52/54; 4 temporary

Snaggletooth still has 4 temporary hit points.

Enemies no longer dazed after my turn.

EDIT: Went ahead and changed my target to match Rev's results below and moved myself more appropriately.

Snaggletooth bounds through the berserkers, removing two of them effortlessly and looks around for new worlds to conquer.

Leo calls on Kelemvor's grace to heal Mother Bartha and the Abbess splutters back to life, looking with gratitude and unexpected humility at the paladin.

He calls again on his god and a circle of divine light springs up around him, offering a safe haven to his allies and nothing but doom to his foes.

Leo - unless it specifically says otherwise, these effects usually require a roll for each attack, but only one damage roll. If that is the case, I will take your first damage roll of 11hp for all the creatures you hit - the hippogriff, Volcanth and both berserkers. You missed the shadowblade.

The newly bloodied berserker 2 howls vengeance on the paladin and strikes the only target in range - the unfortunate Mother Bartha.
B2 v Mother Bartha (Battle Fury) (1d20+11=25, 1d12+4=11, 1d6=2)

Snaggletooth can make a melee Basic Attack vs. B5.

Erik, I pushed B5 to I3; instant Flank situation.

Erik see edit above.

On Caine's turn-

Brujo

Perigia casts Scorching Burst in M16. 22 to hit B3 and 15 to hit B2. 8 fire damage from the attack.

At Perigia's gesture, flames rise around B2 and B3, adding to their woes. Erik's songblade issues a lyrical challenge to S1, striking deep and true into the shadowblade.

Across the road, the burned berserkers turn their attention to Mirth, as the nearest and most appetising target.
B2 v Mirth (1d20+7=24, 1d12+4=9). 9hp damage to Mirth.
B3 v Mirth (1d20+7=23, 1d12+4=7). 7hp damage to Mirth. 16hp total from the berserkers.

B5 howls defiance to the sky and hacks ruthlessly at Commander Caine.
B5 v Caine (1d20+7=27). Crit. On Crit you get 1d12+16 B5 crit damage (1d12+16=21). 21hp damage to Caine.
He then circles away, towards the defenseless albino child.

Commander Caine - I know you've already posted, but B5 is now out of range of your Opening Shove. Would you like to revise your actions?

Rev, did something force Brujo to move. He should be at H11.

Redirect attack to S1; Caine moves to I4 and pushes S1 to H4; Snaggletooth still gains the bonus attack.

Inspiring Word on Self 1d6=3

"You will not escape my justice!" Caine shouts after B5.

do you want to use my previously posted attack or can I reroll? Doesn't matter to me. Just let me know.

I'll use the old roll Snaggletooth. Miss on the shadowblade, I'm afraid.

Caine brutally shoulders S1 into the midst of himself, Erik and Snaggletooth, leaving the shadowblade few choices for either movement or escape. Snaggletooth happily stabs the latest offering, but even he can't quite land the blow.

The shadowblade returns the favour in kind, spinning towards Erik and driving the scimitar deep.
S1 v Erik (1d20+12=25, 1d8+4=9). Used Infernal Wrath to gain a +1 to attack and will do an extra 2 damage for the hit. 11hp damage to Erik

Dancing Lightning (Ref) v Snaggletooth, Erik, Caine (1d20+7=22, 1d20+7=16, 1d20+7=22). Hits Snaggletooth and Caine. 8hp damage each.
Dancing Lightning damage (1d6+4=8)

Unable to do anything destructive, the hippogriff flails in pain, and you all see that the rider (Volkanth) is starting to glow a familiar, eerie blue.

Inspired by Leo's recent aid, Mother Bartha holds on.

Rev

Erik, Snaggletooth, let's bomb S1.

That's where my character has a conundrum. If no one else takes care of B5 before my turn then Erik will likely try and help the little girl.

Rev, Mirth's profile is updated and current for everything except her powers. This reflects her actions below.

Would be nice to have a wee bit of Defenderism (or at least a Heal) over here, before Mirth gets even more destructive...

As Mirth backs into the shielding crowd of pilgrims, her eyes narrow as the embers within alight and begin to dance hungrily. Heat ripples begin to rise from the tiefling's dusky skin as she offers her savage foes a defiant smirk.

"Dost thee wish to dance with me?"she murmurs. "I shall give thee dreams of fire unending!"

Her left hand rises abruptly, clenches white-knuckle tight, then opens to reveal a writhing, sulfuroous mote of fire, which she sends on its way with a breath gentle as a lovers kiss.

Will use Staff of Defense for a +1 to AC vs next attack if necessary.
Move: Shift to J16 (hopefully pilgrims give good cover?).
Minor: trigger Flame Shield, which does 2d6+5 Fire to any creature that makes a melee attack roll (hit or miss) against her until the end of the encounter. Also gives her Resist Fire and Cold 10.
Standard: Fireball N13

Fireball (centered N13) vs B5, Vol (Ref):10, 27
Fireball (centered N13) vs Hipp, B2, Mother Bartha (Ref):23, 15, 17 (Bloodhunt for additional +1) Here's hoping MB has cover from the wagon...
Fireball (centered N13) vs B3 (Ref): 28 (used Bloodhunt + Infernal Wrath for +2)
Damage is 20, except B3 who takes 23, thanks to Infernal Wrath.

Mirth - I can't see your roll for Volkanth among that little lot. He does get cover from the Hippogriff, but he's within your range.

Backing up among the pilgrims, who huddle close to her in terror, Mirth's tender kiss blooms into a maelstrom of flame. When it dies down, only the charred bodies of B2 and B3 are left and blisters rise on the already gravely wounded hippogriff. Mother Bartha just avoids the blast, slumped as she is in the shelter of the wagon. That was very close. She got +4 to cover for being prone and in the wagon.

Cherra reaches out to the tiefling. "You're wounded already ..."
Raising her voice urgently over the sounds of flame and battle, she calls to Leo "Mirth's hurt and needs your help!"

2nd roll, first row with B5. Was a 27 to hit. Damage listed at the end of the post, should be 20hp fire to Volkanth. Also to note, Mirth's Fire Shield will do 2d6 instead of 1d6

Posting Leo's next action now in case I'm offline when it comes up

"Kelemvor grant me the strength to overcome these brigands!" Leo shouts.

Minor Action: Divine Strength: +3 damage to his next attack, Nature check 1d20+5: 10+5 for 15, Acrobatics check 1d20+4: 15+4 for 19, Athletics 1d20+11: 7+11 for 18 then Invigorating Smite on S#3 1d20+11: 18+11 for 29 to hit doing 2d8+5+3 damage: 5+7+5+3 for a total of 20 damage if it hits S#3 which will also heal any bloodied ally within 5 squares of Leo heals 7hp (Ie: Mirth and the Holy Mother from what I can see)

Brujo's focus, for one reason or another, becomes fixed on the beast and it's rider. He swings in a sharp arc, sending a wave of orange-white force at the beast.

Changing Ray on Hipp, 1d20+9=28 vs Will; Damage [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2155783/ ]1d8+6=8 cold/force damage, and Hipp is dazed until the end of my next turn. Not using white lotus evasion to shift.

Come on S1 attack me so Snaggletooth gets a free attack vs. you.

Come on S1 attack me so Snaggletooth gets a free attack vs. you.

Brujo sends an arching bolt of blue flame at the hippogriff. As it hits, the creature apparently immolates, but emerges from the flames, still prone and bloodied, but horribly changed. Now it seems to pulsate with power, as the scales ripple and tremble, barely able to contain some internal horror.

You are aware, Caine, that my riposte only sets up an attack if he attacks ME, not if he attacks you. Do you have some sort of power that if he attacks you, one of your allies next to him gets a free attack? 'Cause otherwise he needs to attack me.

"We have problem here. We're dealing with the spellplague"

Rev, you must've missed my spoiler posted action yesterday. here it is again. on my turn, riposte strike attack S1, d20+14,27, d4+4+2d8+3=2+4+9+3=18hp damage and set up interrupt. (so, either way, I am going to smack S1 when he attacks one of us, Caine.)

"I am shadow-killer, dark one, and you just next victim." Snaggletooth combines some trash-talking with deft bladework. He works his blade under his opponent's arm to deal a devastating blow. Then he falls back to a guarded stance, ready to counterstrike.

I do beg your pardon. I did miss it. No defense either, other than it was a pretty busy day.

Snaggletooth's attack bloodies the shadowblade, and leaves the tiefling warrior with few attractive attack options.

Leo calls on Kelemvor once more and yet again, his deity hears and aids the paladin. Miraculously displaying riding skills he didn't know he possessed, he smites S3 and the shadowblade can do nothing to avoid the blow. Mother Bartha is once more pulled back from the brink of death and Mirth's worst wounds close over, leaving her free to wreck more havoc.

Aw come on. No one else wants to save the little blind girl? Harsh party here. :)

Erik disengages from S1, leaving him for Snaggletooth and Caine after rallying Snaggletooth once more after the kobold's fantasic performance.

"Sorry, my new comrades, but I cannot leave that young girl unprotected. These cowardly pilgrims did not heed my words. I will return when the deed is done."

With that, he moves a step back and lets out a siren's call to B5. In his panic for the girl's safety, however, the note turns somewhat sour and the spell is not fully realized. The berserker is still compelled, however, to strike out at the prone Volkanth.

Seeing the lackluster effect of his spell, Erik charges at the berserker and uses the nearby Caine's instructions to attempt a follow-up attack.

"Fight ME you bellowing brigand! I think you'll find me much more of a challenge than a defenseless girl!"

On Snaggletooth's Turn:
Free Action: Virtue of Valor on Snaggletooth for bloodying S1; Snaggletooth gains 4 temporary hit points to replace the ones he lost.

On My Turn:
Move Action: Shift to I6.
Standard Action: Song of Discord vs. B5; 1d20+9=11 vs. Will. b%&~#!~s! Effect On Miss: B5 makes a basic melee attack vs. Volkanth.

Unfortunately, Caine is quite unaware of the girl's plight.

Perhaps someone can do the appropriate scream so I can use Fearless Rescue.

Erik's discordant note unsettles the berserker so that he hardly knows which way to turn. The albino child sits silent, waiting for whatever fate brings as the thug turns on his heel, impelled by something he doesn't understand and brings his axe crashing to the ground next to Volkanth.
B5 melee basic v Volkanth (1d20+7=9, 1d12+4=16). Miss.

Erik's desperate run through the pilgrims allows him to offer himself as a new and more appetising target, even though his songsword fails to make contact.

Once more himself, the berserker turns his attention to the bard. Rightly deducing that Erik is the author of his woes, he aims a mighty blow at the swashbuckling figure ...
B5 v Erik (1d20+7=23, 1d12+4=12). 12hp damage to Erik.

The child turns her gaze on her protecter. "I knew you would come. The voices told me so," she says placidly.

At the other end of the battlefield, Commander Caine and Snaggletooth concentrate on mopping up the shadowblade. Caine barges into S1, defying the tiefling not to attack him.

Well aware that he has few remaining options, S1 hesitates a second too long delivering his blow and it goes wide, opening him up to further attack from the waiting kobold.
Infernal Wrath v Caine (+1 to attack roll, +2 to damage roll) (1d20+11=12, 1d8+7=8)

OK Snaggletooth, you can get slicey-dicey on him.

Still feeling the unerring pull of Leo's divine challenge, S3 tries once more to hit the paladin on his circling horse and fails again.

Infernal Wrath v Leo (+1 to attack roll, +2 to damage roll) (1d20+11=14, 1d8+7=15)

The mages try to add to the demolition. Mage 1 sends a volley of thunder ricocheting towards Brujo, Perigia and the spirit wolf.

Thunder Burst damage. Targets are dazed to end of next turn. (1d8+4=11). 11 damage to Perigia. Wolf is unaffected. Perigia is dazed to end of her next turn.

Mage 2 sends a magic missile flying towards Caine, yelling with satisfaction as the force ball hits.
Magic Missile (Ref) v Caine (1d20+7=21, 2d4+4=6). 6hp damage to Caine.

The hippogriff rises, eyes glowing a feral blue and with a blue mist emerging from its jaws.

Volkanth gazes at Brujo. "Kindred. Blood brother." The voice is honey-sweet, but the tone is analytical. "I have other business. We will meet again." He points his longsword at the moonelf and tendrils of blue fire streak from its tip, wrapping themselves around Brujo's body. As they curl, they turn into blue blades, slashing at his flesh and threatening him with further harm if he dares to move.

Plague blades (Will). If target moves before end next turn, it takes an additional 2d6+6 damage. (1d20+15=34, 2d6+6=12). 12hp damage to Brujo.

Mirth curls her lips in a snarl, dropping her staff and snapping her wrist to drop her sceptre into her waiting palm.

"I did not yet give thee leave to depart, cousin," she mutters, mostly to herself, her eyes avid as they linger on the licking tendrils of blue fire that bathe both Brujo and the Hippogryph.

Mirth curls her lips in a snarl, dropping her staff and snapping her wrist to drop her sceptre into her waiting palm.
"I did not yet give thee leave to depart, cousin," she mutters, mostly to herself, her eyes avid as they linger on the licking tendrils of blue fire that bathe both Brujo and the Hippogryph.

"Sorry, but I was getting bored up there," Leo explains.

Her eyes lambent with suppressed longing, Mirth calls on the power of her sceptre and sends a streaks of ice Volkanth and his mount. The pair shudder under the impact of the cold. At once, the beast turns half-crazed eyes on the tiefling and seems to dissolve in blue flame. Seconds later, the beast and its rider reappear, closer to Mirth.

"You long for our powers, join us." The tiefling extends a glowing hand towards the wizard.
