Reason scrambles down from his perch, and towards the circle. He gestures and some of his wounds close, as do those of his "friend" Ogrol.

Move to V19. Beacon of Hope: Reason, Ogrol regain 8 hp, Reason's Healing powers gain +5 til end of encounter. Sustain Blade Barrier.

40/69 hp. 0 AP

Ioun's light douses Ogrol and the Great Pan nods grudging respect at the tiefling.

Ogrol braces himself. "There will be more and worse to come Chosen. Be sure of it."

The Land ripples as the blood of the fallen tencaru seeps into it and the immediate sense of hostility lessens. As if in confirmation of Ogrol's warning, two more lumps appear in the ground, as the earth prepares to spit forth more deformed children.

The pink squares. You can't see what's inside them at the moment, but you can see where they will appear.

The fortifications are just that. Fortifications. They provide cover and are accessible via the back at ground level. Climbing on to or over them requires 2 movement points - i.e. if you go from L27 to L25 over the wall, it costs you 4 movement points (2 to get up and 2 to get down).

The blue things are streams. They cost an extra movement point to cross.

Rocky bits are rocky (duh) and are difficult terrain.

The special pink bit is your target and at present does nothing more, although it does radiate a mixture of arcane and primal power.

Before Kia posts, did Arianwyn add 4 to his damage rolls against H3? It's +4 to damage not to hit...

That being so, Crown of Stars missed, but he did more damage with Eldritch Blast. H3 is a bit more hurt, but is still not down.

Kia fires another arrow at H3, hoping to finally bring it down.

PTB-E vs H3 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 301d10 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

If still alive:
All damage rolls on H3 at +4 to start of Kia's next turn
All ranged and area attacks by H3 at -2 to end of Kia's next turn

Kia teleports to 18T and sends Whiteclaw a helpful message of encouragement. allowing her to spend a healing surge + 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 2) + 4 = 11

Kia's arrow is enough to take down the dazed and battered hunter and she teleports gracefully towards the centre, the better to encourage her friends.

Arianwyn - cursed enemy dropped. You may bingle.

The ravagers scream defiance at the skies and fight on. Flames continue to lick at R3 as it slams its blade once more into Whiteclaw, and R2 turns again to Ogrol.

Enraged and dying, R3's blow is powerful enough to push the gnoll into the flaming blades. Shifting towards her, it strikes again, a creature barely alive itself. The second blow misses completely, but as it pauses, the flames licking at its polluted skin die away. It turns baleful eyes on Morgzil as the Kargzant's curse falls away.

Brash Retaliation (free when bloodied). On hit, target is pushed two squares
1d20+15=30. R3 v Whiteclaw. Hits. 3d10+6=19
19 damage to Whiteclaw

Whiteclaw takes an additional 10 from the blade barrier and 5 ongoing damage (se).

1d20+15=19. R3 v Whiteclaw. Miss.

Total 29 damage and 5 ongoing to Whiteclaw.

1d20=17 - R3's save v ongoing blade barrier damage.

R2 charges recklessly towards Ogrol, knocking the Great Pan from his feet and pushing him ruthlessly away from the circle.

Berserk Rush. On hit target is knocked prone and pushed 2 squares.
1d20+15=29. R2 v Ogrol. 2d10+6=19 plus 1d10=9 for charging
28 damage to Ogrol

Rising, Ogrol sends an arrow singing towards his opponent and stands his ground.

"The Sun Stallion guides us!" he screams as his arrow sinks deep, bloodying the monster.

Basic attack (AC)

Start of turn save: 1d20 ⇒ 18

Whiteclaw steps out of the blade barrier on it's far side even as her form shifts. She seems to aborb some of the stone, becoming a mix of rock and flash.

Shift to R19. Form of the Stone Sentinel. I regain HPs as if I spent a surge, and I gain Regen 4 until the end of the encounter. No longer Bloodied.

Vines then shoot from her axe and try to yank the Ravager into the blades.

Thorn Strike, vs AC. 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19. On hit: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 cold damage and I pull it 1 square closer to me, right into the blade barrier.

Ixu's action depends on if the two can go in either order. If it's Whiteclaw then Ixu, she double moves to G29 to be able to hit Hunter 1 next round. If she can go first, she attacks R3 with flanking before Whiteclaw moves: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23, on hit: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (8, 6) + 7 = 21 and then moves to H22, drawing an OA from R3. Since they share init, I'm just not sure if who resolves first is locked in,or if it's mutable round to round.

HP: 70/103 (Ixu: 79/79)
Surges: 12/13 (Ixu: 12/12)
Encounter Powers Used: Tundra Wind
AP: 1/1
Status: Regen 4 (Ixu: Cold Resist 5)

It's up to you which order Whiteclaw and Ixu go in and similarly for Morgzil and Vel. If it's convenient to ready an action or delay to get the maximum benefit, you can do so.

If you want to delay until after another player, then the placement changes to wherever you put yourself at that point - i.e. if you wanted Ixu to delay until after the Hunters, Ixu's init would then be after the Hunters until you changed it again.

I'll assume you want Ixu to go before Whiteclaw to get the flank this turn and will update shortly.

Neither Whiteclaw nor Ixu can bring an end to the ravager's tortured existance. Both attacks miss.

As Ixu flings herself skyward once more, the tencaru swings at her with his sword, wounding the young dragon.

OA from R3 v Ixu.
1d20+15=35. Crit.
16 damage to Ixu

The Hunters move swiftly attack fresh targets, aiming at Morgzil, placed temptingly high on the fortifications and the bloodied figure of Ogrol.

Lightning Fast Shots
1d20+16=30 - H1 v Morgzil. Hits. 1d12+2=12

Charger Arrow. On hit target is pushed 2 squares and knocked prone.

Arianwyn - don't forget your bingle.

Morgzil attempts to renew his hex on the ravagers, catching one. Smiling, he decides it would serve better as a kitten. The seeker then jumps down behind the fortification with Vel.

Hex vs R2, R3 will 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 211d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29 Beast Curse vs R3 Fort 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32 Move to L11.

Status: 77/103 hp

Vel smiles at Morgzil, and takes the moment's respite to recover her wind.

Second Wind. HP: 31/60, not bloodied, Second Wind used.

Teleport down to X25.

The shriek from the newly arrived kitten is utterly incongruous, but there is no doubting the venom in the feline eyes.

Morgzil rejoins his wife behind the fortifications, while Arianwyn reappears as a new and tempting target.

Can't remember, would a burst affect someone on the other side of a wall?

Walls block line of effect, so you can't target an area on the other side of the wall. What are you trying to do, exactly?

Heal the happy couple.

Reason allows the Blade Barrier to drop, clearing the path for Whiteclaw to go kitten hunting. He then arcs a bolt of light towards the other Ravager.

Break the Spirit vs R2 Will: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 172d8 + 5 ⇒ (8, 5) + 5 = 18
if hit, Radiant and R2 is -3 to attacks TEOMNT
Healing Word on Ogrol: Surge + 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 4) + 8 = 16
Move to R16

Reason moves to a more central position and serenely bestows Ioun's blessing on his friends, while thoughtfully removing the flaming blade barrier. His attempts to break the spirit of either ravager are doomed to failure however.

With the further blood sacrfice, the land seems to pulsate with a feeling of well-being and the central circle offers benefits to the wounded within it.

It is as well, because the creatures hidden by the earth now shake themselves free and join the fray. A tencaru mystic scours the landscape for enemies and a horned staff-wielding horror that you have not seen before emerges as well.

Ogrol hisses. "A landbinder. The most perverted of all the earth creatures."

Kia fires off an arrow at R2, hoping to bring it down a notch. Then stows her bow and takes out her sword.

PTB-E (still) vs. R2 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20

If that hits:
All damage rolls on H3 at +4 to start of Kia's next turn
All ranged and area attacks by H3 at -2 to end of Kia's next turn

"Ogron, stay closer to us so we can help you better! What are we to expect from the Landbinder?"

In her concern at the new arrivals, Kia's arrow flies over the shoulder of the ravager.

Ogrol shudders. "Kargzant hates them. They are an affront to the Land. They use it for themselves and give nothing but pain in return."

Whenever the Landbinder uses its burst attack, the Land's hostility increases by 1 step. These things are true abominations. Killing a landbinder reduces the hostility by 2 steps.

Even the other tencaru seem to shiver in the presence of the Landbinder. R2 charges Orgol, but it's a half-hearted effort.

1d20+15=18 - R2 v Ogrol. Miss.

R3 scuttles to the safety of the fortification, circling around to avoid the vengeful claws and teeth of Ixu.

Double moving

As the Landbinder moves steadily to the centre of the sacred circle, you see that it is barely a creature at all and more a manifestation of polluted earth. Hoofbeats thud into the ground and the land seems to revolt from its touch. Pulling to a halt, the Landbinder digs both front hooves deep into the protesting soil and the land rebels, twisting and shaking under the assault.

Rage of the Earth (Fort). Close Burst 10 (rechargeable). Enemies only. On hit, target is pushed two squares ignoring difficult terrain, taking 7 damage for each square pushed. Attacking everyone but Ixu.

Vel, staggering slightly, takes position beside her husband, even as Adalram moves against the Landbinder. She shows it a thing it has likely never seen, the face of its own death.

Even though the illusion has less than its full effect, the landbinder still must struggle against its own fear.

Miss: Immobilized (se). Aftereffect: Slowed (se).

HP: 17/60

While neither Morgzil nor Vel can do as much damage as they'd like, they succeed well enough to bring a scream of outrage from the Landbinder.

The mystic canters into view and restores all its allies, offering the Landbinder and the dazed ravager the chance to free themselves from the effects binding them.

Then it returns tit for tat and conjures a patch of thorns to hold Ixu firmly in place.

Reason appreciates the balm of the land, but calls on Ioun to much greater effect.

Move to T20. Minor - activate Symbol of Life power (extra 1d6 on heal TEOMNT). Mass Cure Light Wounds - Reason, Whiteclaw, Kia, and Ogrol regain hp as if they had spent a surge +1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Dice roller is not my friend this fight. HP: 44/62

Reason, it's a bit better than that. Your +5 to healing runs to the end of the encounter, so they get an additional 9.

Reason's light caresses his companions, urging back to health. Although still bloodied, Ogrol looks considerably better and nods his thanks.

The Land rumbles, but remains quiescent, the trauma of the Landbinder offset by the blood of the ravager.

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 162d6 + 9 ⇒ (4, 1) + 9 = 14
f$#!.

The group's warlock cannot bring his mighty powers to bear at this moment...

Reason, it's a bit better than that. Your +5 to healing runs to the end of the encounter, so they get an additional 9.

Dur. I knew that, and then forgot while I was typing. Reason at 49/62 hp

Much to his eloquently expressed disgust, Arianwyn cannot get a grip on the aberrant horrors confronting him.

Kia is on stage right now, but I'll try and get her to post before I have to leave tomorrow. If not, then you're on hold until Monday, at which point Reason vanishes for the envy-inducing air of GenCon.

Kia takes out her sword and moves around Whiteclaw to take a shot at the landbinder.

Move to S17/ Lead the Attack vs Landbinder. 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 313d8 + 5 ⇒ (7, 8, 7) + 5 = 27

On a hit, Kia, Whiteclaw, Reason and Ogrol gain a +5 power bonus to hit against The landbinder.

HP: 79/79
Surges 8/8
Arrows:31
AP:1
Second wind: not used

Kia strikes deep, leading by example as she urges her friends on to finish the aberrant thing before her. The Landbinder screams in protest and digs its hooves deeper into the protesting earth. Reason alone is able to withstand the impact.

1d20=7 - Landbinder save v slow. Fails

Shrugging aside the attack, Orgrol wipes blood from his mouth and aims his next arrow between the Landbinder's eyes. The Sun Stallion guides his arrow and the creature writhes as its fragile grip on sanity recedes.

Landbinder is bloodied

Ixu cries out in annoyance and tries to break free.

Save: 1d20 ⇒ 14

Whiteclaw doesn't mind being pushed away at all, and the gnoll leaps forward at her foe.

Ferocious Charge: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (19) + 19 = 38, on hit: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21 cold damage.

Whiteclaw leaps and swings, adding to the destruction of the Landbinder, while Ixu flaps wildly and breaks free of the brambles holding her.

The hunters circle slightly, the presence of the Mystic helping to focus them, and give their attention to Reason.

Recharge Capricious Earth, Beast Curse 1d6 ⇒ 41d6 ⇒ 2 No, no . . .

Morgzil has little to do other than hex the last creature in range -- and worry about Vel's injuries.

Hex vs H1 Will 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

Trying the only thing she can think of to escape the landbinder's rage power, Vel backs out of the fortification and drinks a healing potion.

Then, struck by inspiration, she discharges her power point at the ground, triggering the flames of her tattoo.

Minor/minor: Fetch and quaff. Move: G10. AP: Magic Missile vs earth. 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27 HP: 13/60 + 5 temp Surges: 6/8. AP and Second Wind used.
