Game Master Aubrey the Malformed

@Aubrey: Did I need two acrobatics check on my last turn (one for moving to O10 and one for charging to M8) or would one check have done both? I rolled two just in case, but I was just curious for my next turn.

Jareen's ball of force hits the defiler square in the chest. But encased in ice like he is, he is impossible to move.

Map updated.

The dark sorcerer unleashes the power of utter cold on his enemies, buffeting them with freezing winds.

Minor action: curse Th'Kal.
Standard action: blast Th'Kal with a Bitter Storm
Close Blast 3, so only affecting Th'Kal. 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 v Fort, damage 1d6 + 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + (2) + 6 = 14 cold and necrotic and the target is pushed 3 squares to P11 and immobilised until the end of Zavox's next turn.
Action Point: unleashes a Freezing Vortex, Burst 3 within 10 squares centred on M13, catches everyone except Safier.
Arakan 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27 to hit
Gart 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 to hit
Jareen 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24 to hit
Furio 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 to hit
Th'Kal 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 to hit
On a hit, the target takes 2d8 + 12 ⇒ (6, 2) + 12 = 20 cold and necrotic, is slid 3 squares, and is blinded until the end of Zavox's next turn. It also creates a zone of falling snow (delineated by the large box on the map) which obscures vision, providing concealment to targets one square away and total concealment for targets further than one square.
EDIT: looks like hits on Arakan and Jareen. They are slid to O15 and K17 respectively.

As Th'Kal, Arakan and Jareen are rudely blasted against the ice pillars, more entombed undead erupt to grab at them.

Arakan: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 v AC, damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 cold damage and grabbed EDIT crit, max damage
Jareen: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 v AC, damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 cold damage and grabbed
Th'Kal: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24 v AC, damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 cold damage and grabbed

Safier.

Ouch, bloodied. I hope that was all he has, and is left with low-end at-wills.

Round 1

Frightened by whatever this monster is, Safier for a moment contemplates running, rather chancing the Hejkin than....whatever this is. But somehow, she finds herself moving forward, towards the storm, a plan brewing in her mind. She starts forward to slip upon the ice, falling prone.

I was attempting to move to I14. Do I make any headway at all? Also can I still use the standard to at least stand up?

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Ok, Jareen ow on 6 HP... OUCH!

@Safier:It's a move action to stand (which you can use your standard to trade in for a move).
But - you might not want to. You can still cast from the ground (you take a -2 penalty for being prone) AND being on the ground may actually help you - since you're harder to hit from ranged attacks.

A decent idea, but the total concealment prevents me from seeing the defiler. I was hoping to move close enough where I could use the minor eye thing I have to 'see' him, then cast through the concealment, the dice just said no. Plus he's too far for me to blast anyway. Though now that you mention it, I could try to free you guys instead. Let me do that instead of standing then.

Having fallen, Safier redirects her attention on trying to free the others from the hands of the undead, all the while feeling rage build at their treatment.

Lightning Strike K18, if it hits arc to P 16 for 4 lightning damage

Lightning strike: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 7 - 2 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Gart.

What? I don't get to go?

Oh, alright then, because it's you.

Map.

You just feel bad for always critting me... who am I kidding? You don't feel bad about that. ;)

Arakan just got smacked around something fierce, and he can only think of one thing he needs to do, and do it immediately. Save his own ass. First, he just needs to get out of the grip of whatever holds him. "Get off me."

Once away he tries to collect himself and his thoughts, focusing his attention on just surviving.

Minor, Majestic Word on self, surge+4 and slid to N14 (just directly away from his holder since he is blind)
Standard, Second Wind

I'd feel bad if I killed you. But hurting you grievously? Water off a duck's back.

Even as Arakan gets his act back together and gathers himself, he feels his life force being drawn away from himself and into the defiler.

The first surge only gives you half the hp back, though your second wind gives you full hp. Defilers, eh?

Now it's Gart's turn.

Minor: Preservation Shield (Daily): All but Safier (too far away) get 10 temporary HP.

Move: acrobatics: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (20) - 2 = 18 Gart moves to attack the pillar skeleton holding Thkal, needing to get the barbarian free and attacking again.

Standard: Inspiring War Cry (standard, martial, melee) Attack on Q11.
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12 vs AC
2d8 + 5 ⇒ (7, 7) + 5 = 19
One ally (Thkal) within 5 squares makes a saving throw. He immediately attempts to shake off whatever condition troubles him most.

I'm ac 16. He missed me.....sweet.

Gart smashes his carrikal down on the skeletal arms holding Th'Kal, almost dislodging their grip.

Almost, but not quite.

Map updated.

Furio.

Furio walks to Q 12.

Acrobatics 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Or, fall prone. Whatever.

Furio slips and falls on his backside on the ice.

Th'Kal.

Th'Kal tries lashing out with his lower claws in an attempt to get free of the skeletal grip... when that apparently doesn't work, he resorts to using his axe.

Minor Act: Thri-Kreen Claws vs the skeleton holding him.
Kreen Claws: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 vs AC,
If it hits, Damage: 1d8 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 1 = 13.
EDIT: Assuming that's a miss...
Standard Action: Howling Strike vs the skeleton holding him.
Howling Strike: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 vs AC,
If it hits, Damage: 1d12 + 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + (5) + 5 = 11.<--- IGNORE
EDIT #2 ---> REROLLING THE 1 on DAMAGE WITH THE AXE:
ACTUAL DAMAGE: 1d12 + 5 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 5 = 19
Move Action: none, I'm immobilized even if I kill the skeleton from Zavox's first hit on me.

Assuming my second strike kills the skeleton, I'm going to spend my Feral Rejuv (free action) to get some hp back (Surge+1)

Th'Kal breaks the grip of the skeleton holding him.

Jareen.

Jareen staggers and takes a moment to get his breath.

Standard Action: Second Wind

Will see about more when I'm not blind!

did thkal get the extra save I granted or did that not work?

I don't think there was anything to save against. I was assuming that the immobilization was turn dependent and not save dependent -- I think same with the blindness. It will fade after Zavox's turn.

The skeletal arms holding Jareen continue to claw at him.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 v AC, damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6. You remain grabbed.

The defiler hurls an ice javelin at Th'Kal. The snowfall after the conjured vortex settles to the floor.

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22 v AC, 2d6 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 5 + (5) = 13 cold damage on a hit

Safier.

Yeah I'm prone. Prone to gettin up and opening up a canfull of WUPASS!!!

Map isn't loading well at work today. I swear sometimes it's a crapshoot if google works here or not. I had it up briefly before IE crashed, and it looked like I would be able to Lightning Strike the arms on Jareen, then arc it to the Defiler. If so that's what I would like to do, if not, priority on getting Jareen free. Also crawl forward two squares, please.

Staying prone, Safier sends out another arc of lightning.

Lightning Strike: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 - 2 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

If hits, the arc will deal 7 damage.

With a second crackle of lightning, the arms gripping Jareen jerk and fall to bits.

Arakan.

The defiler hurls an ice javelin at Th'Kal. The snowfall after the conjured vortex settles to the floor.

1d20+11 v AC, 2d6+5+1d6 cold damage on a hit

@Aub: umm... wouldn't I have total concealment from the defiler since I was in the snow storm? If so, he just misses me. (remember I'm the guy that likes to remind you to do damage to me :) ... maybe this is karma paying me back? come on karma-concealment, baby!

Arakan leans against the pillar, glaring at the old man tossing storms at them. He has a chance to get up close with the immobile being, and finally sink his blade into its flesh. He draws the blade across the pouch of his glove, slipping the toxins across it. He strides comfortably across the slippery surface, determination set on his features. He needs this thing to be vulnerable to his talents. He taps the blade while he walks, getting the material to start to ring, he adds a touch of arcane energy and it resonates into a vibrating blade of power. As he arrives he drives it hard into the man.

The vibrations carry through the stuck creature, and as the carry through Arakan recognizes his vulnerability out in the open, and 'cuts' a hasty retreat. He slashes at the eyes, to blind his movements and allows him to slip away back toward the safety of Th'Kal.

Minor, use poison gloves to apply bloodroot poison (since he wouldn't have before until he was ready to strike).
Move to M9, Acrobatics 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18, yay, he doesn't fall

Standard, Slayer's Song, 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29 vs AC, (yay crit! I think he pissed Arakan off). Damage 2d4+5 = 13, +1d6 ⇒ 5 for crit
Hit: grants CA to me and my allies (save ends).
Effect: Until EoE, whenever I hit an enemy, that enemy grants CA to me and my allies until EoMNT.
+Bloodroot poison: takes 6 extra poison damage, and it is dazed (Save Ends).

Action Point (now that it provides CA to me, and a chance to get away)
Fleeting Spirit Strike, 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 2 = 28 vs AC, damage 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 2) + 4 = 10 plus SA 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4
and shift 3 squares to P10

Nope - he can see through it, just everyone can't.

Just one.

Arakan mutilates the defiler before beating a hasty retreat, his knife scoring horrid wounds on the bleached white flesh.

is the enemy Gart is next to the defiler?

Huh?

The skeletal arms holding Jareen continue to claw at him.

1d20+8 v AC, damage 1d6+3. You remain grabbed.

[ooc]Bloody hell, that'll teach me not to read....is AC a defence that's boosted by second wind? I don't have the book with me to check.

is the enemy Gart is next to the defiler?

No, Garth. That's the old skeleton that was holding me. The defiler ("Zavox") is at L8.

[Bloody hell, that'll teach me not to read....is AC a defence that's boosted by second wind? I don't have the book with me to check.

Second Wind gives you a boost to ALL defenses (including AC).

Yes, +2 to all defences including AC. So I think it'll miss, and anyway Safier dealt with it shortly after.

Minor: inspiring word to thkal.
standard: shielded assault to the pillar man
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
2d8 + 5 ⇒ (4, 5) + 5 = 14
+2 power bonus to my AC and any ally adjacent.

If creature dies I would like to move 2 squares towards the defiler while staying adjacent to thkal if possible.

Cool, just making sure I didn't have to drop the HP off.

Pillar man is already dealt with. I just re-read and realised I was far from clear, but there is nothing to attack near Th'Kal. You can have those rolls and reconsider your turn.

in which case i will move to N9 (if the two-square restriction is per move action) or O10 (if the two-square restriction is per turn). Still using Inspiring Word on Thkal

It's per turn, not per move action.

Furio.

Map updated.

Stand from prone. I guess I can't move two because two per turn? If I can move two, I move to N12.

If I need acrobatics to stand, 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

Standing from prone is a move action, for which you don't need an Acrobatics check, leaving you with a minor action and a standard action. For your information, a charge is a standard action and you have the movement to get into melee with Zavox, plus your Acrobatics check was enough to stay upright while charging.

Not that I'm suggesting tactics or anything...

I'll do it!!!

Charge to L9.

Lead the attack.

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

damage
2d6 + 5 ⇒ (6, 2) + 5 = 13

and if he tries to move next to any ally I can charge his ass for free if that hit him.

Dude, he ain't going nowhere. I think when you level next you should retrain to get a better Daily.

Having just stumbled, Furio picks himself up and charges heedlessly at the defiler,urging on his companions as his gouge crunches through ice and flesh. But he feels the soul-sapping chill of the unearthly glow around the orb.

5 cold and necrotic damage to Furio.
