Relan moves in and sets to receive the charge.
The Dark Rider charges exploding to Relan's set position. The room thrums as the horse's hooves thunder seeming to make the Rider grow larger and larger as he pounds forward with a resounding hammering noise preceded by a biting cold wind.
As the warrior goes for the trip, the astute rider jockies his horse a bit to the side causing the attack to miss and follows with a devastating blow lined with ice.
Visibly shaken by the sight of the horseman, Vuloo backs up and casts blessing of fervor on the group.
Andel moves to the door and studies the horseman to see if he can identify it and recall the creature's weakness.
Braelex is taken aback by the fearsome display but she grits her teeth. She flies a few feet into the room, hugging the wall to the right, raining fire bombs down on the rider. She uses Vuloo's blessing to throw faster.

Braelex hurls a flurry of explosive fire smashing the Rider and some of the flame washes over on to his warhorse although the horse seems to be resistant to the worst of the flame. ] The Rider catches on fire.
Vuloo casts blessing of fervor on the party as Andel identifies the Rider as an advanced form of a dullahan, an undead terror that steals souls from the living world, trapping in them some sort of eternal hell, normally close to the creature.
Nalar casts a spell placing heroism on Braelex and somewhat counter acting the effects of the Rider's aura.
Taking +2 to hit and to AC from the Blessing of Fervor, Relan attacks the rider twice.
+20/+15 (2d4+10+9+2/×3)
Relan slashes out at the Rider twice, striking him strongly once and just deflecting off his black plate the second time.
The Rider guides his horse with his knees and it shuffles closer pressing in against Relan and pushing him up against the wall. The horse rears up with black energy pulsing through its eyes and teeth. It bites and slams hooves down on the warrior. Relan dodges the hooves, but the bite hits him strong, with evil energy pulsing through him.
; ; no;
The Rider then reaches down to his belt and removes a severed head. He tosses it underhand into the secret doorway and it bursts in a pulse of necrotic energy, the energy sucks at everyone's life and simultaneously stitches the holes in the Rider's armor.
; success!
Vuloo channels to heal the group.
Andel uses his naturalist ability to call out the weaknesses of the dullahan to the group .
Naturalist (Ex): An archivist who has identified a creature with a Knowledge check appropriate to its type can use performance to share strategies for defeating it with allies in combat. The archivist and any allies within 30 feet gain a +1 insight bonus to AC and on attack rolls and saving throws against extraordinary, supernatural, and spell-like abilities used by creatures of that specific kind of monster (e.g., frost giants, not all giants or all humanoids). This bonus increases by +1 at 5th level and every six levels thereafter. This language-dependent ability requires visual and audible components.
Give me room to fight! Relan shouts to Andel, askihg him to back up at least 5'.
It's a special ability so not sure. I'd have to investigate. No one threatened him right there though, correct? He was in your face.
Gauntlets threaten if you took your hand off your weapon and no longer threaten at reach. Cant threaten both at the same time.
Creature is adjacent to you so you cant hit him with a reach weapon regardless of how many squares he occupies. You dont target a square with a melee weapon, you target a creature.
If she had a melee weapon sure.

Braelex avoids the worst of the necrotic pulse then takes Nalar's dimension door to get out of the way. When the disorientation wears off, she flies up towards the ceiling and hurls another volley of fire bombs.
;
;
Relan steps back and full attacks the rider.
The party waits for Nalar to teleport them to the other room. Andel begins to regale the party on the Dark Rider's weaknesses and Relan takes a step back, stumbling over the threshold of the secret door and swinging wildly twice before he resets his feet and gets a strong blow through the Rider's defenses.
Braelex unloads a torrent of fire scorching the already burnning armored rider immensely and the horse screeches in irritation, but appears not to take any damage.
The Rider guides the horse back in a withdrawal. A single, cold word emanates from the creature and it cuts through the battle.
Unsettled, the warrior feels the weight of hid mortality settle on him.
At the same time, the door to the west is thrown open by a cold wind and a howling pack of black as night dogs rage through, slipping under the hooves of the Rider's horse, their coats soaking up the little light in the room. You've fought them before in the Lady's Light -- Shadow mastiffs. They surround and savage Nalar sending the wizard to the ground and attempt the same with Braelex who gets bit but stays on her feet. A pair rush Relan.

Vuloo moves back towards the safety of his previous position and then casts burst of radiance (DC 19 Reflex). on the rider and the nearest mastiff.
Andel casts displacement on Relan and then moves to the end of the hall.
Relan responds That is my name. Will you call it out as I strike you down? He tries to trip both hounds as the approach him. And then strikes at each if they fall.
Assuming that he has tripped at least one of the hounds he steps forward and full attacks the rider again.
Gotcha. Makes sense. I'll fix the map.
Although you forgot the miss chance rolls (in same order you rolled above)
; fail
; N/A
; trip!
; miss
So in this case there will be one hound in front of you blocking your way out of the doorway. Cant 5 foot around a corner.
I'll move the second one back to where he was tripped.
Having little choice, Relan focuses his attacks on the prone hound. He takes some comfort in the fact that it is prone and easier to hit.
As the cold wind hits Nalar he turns to see the slavering jaws of the Shadow hounds blitzing towards him with murderous intent. Calling forth a primal shout ans crackle of arcane power he solidifies his will into a protective barrier for the beasts to ram into.
The shield has Hardness 20, 90HP and lasts 9 rounds and can be dismissed as a standard action.

Braelex uses the blessing to throw faster, hurling three fire bombs at the rider below.

Nalar throws up the force sphere, preventing the mastiff from getting to him. It snarls and rails ineffectually at the invisible force.
Braelex's still approaches him.
Relan trips the one that would've hit him. The other is in his face and misses. Relan tears into the tripped one and after three vicious blows, it doesn't appear to be getting up.
Braelex rains fire down on the Dark Rider and the flames get to be too much for the legendary dullahan and with a long sigh the flames consume his form entirely, leaving behind his weapons and armor as they clatter to around his horse. Wisps of smoke begin to trail from the horse and it paws at the ground and steps forward as it dissipates into nothingness as well
The mastiffs continue to retaliate. The two mastiffs bark at Nalar for several moments and then one rushes up in the air at Braelex savaging her and the other charges Vuloo knocking the halfling off his feet. Relan's attacks him with a bite and a tail slap striking once.

Vuloo goes to total defense on the ground.
Andel casts glitterdust on the mastiffs attacking Relan and Vuloo (DC 16 Will). He is sure to exclude both Relan and Vuloo from the spell's effects.
Braelex flies a few feet away and drinks an extract.
Releasing one hand from the haft of his weapon, Relan punches at the shadowy but now also glittery hound three times.
After attacking he steps back 5' and encourages Andel to give him room.
Braelex flies a few feet away and drinks an extract.
Both. One originally and the other on redirect from Nalar.
Nalar takes the moment of safety to cast a defensive spell on himself, his image fracturing into a myriad of duplicates.

Nalar and Vuloo go defensive while Andel blasts the mastiffs with his spell illuminating several of them.
; success!
; fail! BLINDED!
Braelex steps away from one mastiff but not the other and it bites at her as she is distracted reaching for her extract.
; HIT!;
She then disappears, confusing the mastiffs who move to their next available target, Vuloo.
Relan pummels the hound in front of him 3 times, causing severe wounds. It then pursues Relan into the room.

Vuloo continues with total defense.
Andel will delay until after Relan kills the mastiff blocking the hall. Once the hall is clear, Andel will move into the room and will cast glitter dust again on the hounds attacking Vuloo, including the halfling in the area of effect if necessary.
Safely invisible, Braelex moves to the far corner before quaffing a healing potion.
Still unable to get the room to swing his weapon, Relan full attacks again with his gauntlet.
