Nayce moves into the room and beguiles the mind of the other bolter.

Move to G9. Shroud on B2. Eyebite on B2, which imposes a second shard on that guy. 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29 vs Will. 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14 psychic and I am invisible to the target until the start of my next turn. B2 is left with a total of 2 shrouds.

Edit: Since a miss is likely on that lousy roll, the invisibility effect does not apply on a miss, but he has the 2 shrouds on him regardless.

29 v Will is a lousy roll?

29 v Will is a lousy roll?

Oops. I was looking at the damage roll. Yes, clearly, not many opponents at this level can shrug that off.

It's fine. Easily done. 29 hits anything these guys have to offer and then some.

Nayce joins the party and thoroughly befuddles B2's already fragile brain.

Moving things along.

Moving gracefully behind Nayce, Amenephus sends a blade of divine light towards the nearest bolter. His aim is far from sure, bewildered as he is by what is going on.

Lance of Faith (Ref)
1d20+9=11. Misses

Scrambling over the barricade, the hammerer hurls itself at Isari, the light of malevolent insanity in its eyes.

Still unsure of his actions, but not wanting to abandon his companions, Quillan joins the fight, going after the separated bolter and putting his oath upon him before charging and laying into the dwarf with the butt of his axe.

"I'll not be takin' a life here if I can help it! These folk aren't even in their right minds!"

Move Action: Move to H9
Minor Action: Oath of Enmity on B2
Standard Action: Charge to I11 for Basic Melee on B2 w/ OoE

Noted, Quillan.

There is no sign of anything resembling sanity in the golden-eyed bolters as they both slam warhammers into their dwarven kin before shifting away.

If I miss I still do 5 damage.

From here on out I am also trying to knock out the dwarves, not kill them.

Quillan nods appreciatively at Rusty before turning his attention back on the bolter.

Rusty attempts to knock sense into the nearest bolter and discovers how deeply the madness runs.

For the Love of Money (Will). Immediate interrupt when targeted by melee attack. On hit, instead of attacking the dwarf, target makes a basic melee attack of the dwarf's choice. If no such target exists, no attack is made.
1d20+8=24 = B1 v Rusty.

Against his will, Rusty feels his blade turn in his hands and point towards Dorvin, inexorably rising and falling towards his comrade.

Rusty make a basic melee attack against Dorvin please.

The goldspawned move carefully away before opening fire with their crossbows.

1d20+12=30 - G1 v Isari. Hits. 9hp damage.

Unable to check his swing, Rusty spins and chops into Dorvin.

12hp damage to Dorvin.

Just wanted to point out that since Rusty and I aren't hitting to kill we at least won't chop any of our own team in half by mistake. :)

You deal the damage as normal. When something/someone hits 0hp, you can decide if it's dead or unconscious.

That's what I meant. :)

It is slightly different to previous editions where you had to declare your intention of doing non-lethal damage at the time. 4e, you don't. You just chop away and then say "oh - he's unconscious" as you cut off the last leg.

Reposting for clarity. Photobucket is up the creek again and won't let me update, but I'll give it another go in the morning.

"Hi! You've reached the voicemail of Amenephus. I can't take your call at the moment, but if you leave me a message, I'll heal you as soon as I can. Please speak after the blood-curdling scream. AAArghh!"

Sorry! It's all been a bit manic recently - I can't believe that it's mid-February! I'll pay more attention now, I promise.

Shift to J4. Rousing Assault on B1. If I hit, I add my Cha bonus to all my healing powers until end of my next turn.

"Rusty, ye great loony lizard!" Dorvin yells as he smashes into Rusty's opponent.

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 211d10 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Minor - Inspiring Word on myself.
2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7

The bolter attempts to befuddle Dorvin as throughly as it befuddled Rusty. As the warlord's battleaxe descends, a greedy gleam creeps over the mad dwarf's face and Dorvin feels his weapon turn in his hands.

Dorvin - please make a melee basic attack on Rusty.

The xorn clambers moves through the barriade and bites at the goldspawn manning the metal sprayer. With a scream, the goldspawn drops, spewing forth a small pile of gold as it expires.

1d20+13=26. Xorn v G1. Hits.

HP 59/77

"Get away from each other, before you kill someone!" Isari shifts his focus over to the bolter, steps to the side and stabs his icy blade into the hammerer, ice forming in his wounds.

Aegis of Shielding on B2, shift to J8 and use Chilling Blow on H(if hit, takes 2 damage for every attack it makes until the start of my next turn) 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 181d10 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Literally spewing gold out his mouth?

Yes. Like G2 before him, he vomited gold on death.

Updating later. Photobucket is not behaving and I need to find a new home for the maps. Apologies for the delay.

All new map via Flickr. Tell me if it links properly.

Dorvin clouts Rusty as Isari bellows a warning and turns his attention to the Hammerer. Distracted by the prospect of his comrades braining each other, his own attack misses.

The link works just fine. Thanks DM!

Nayce, seeing his allies turning on one another, prudently moves away from anyone he would rather not injure and attempts to choke the bolter with his executioner's noose.

Move to H7. Shroud on B2. Executioner's Shroud on B2 using 3 shrouds. Since I am invisible to him, I have CA. 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19 vs Fortitude. 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17 force damage on a hit and I pull him to I9. Shrouds 3d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 1) = 8.

Edit: If that was a hit... Rerolling the 1 on the shroud dice because it is "brutal 1" 1d6 ⇒ 1. Also Rev, how do you want to handle shroud damage on a miss? Just drop the last die?

Edit 2: Right. Another 1. 1d6 ⇒ 5

Nayce - I'm still working out shrouds, but I think that's right. If we're wrong, we'll adjust as needed rather than reconning. I suspect it will all balance out in the end.

Nayce moves with precision to bloody B2, yanking the maddened dwarf into the midst of his allies.

Amenephus moves sideways to H5 and fires a Lance of Faith at the Hammerer (v Reflex; Radiant Damage):

Lance of Faith v Hammerer: (1d20+9=19, 1d8+5=6)

Divine light sears the Hammerer as Amenephus moves elegantly into the room.

Who gets the +2 bonus to their next hit on the Hammerer?

Ignoring the danger of Isari's blade, the Hammerer moves to flank with B2 and slams down with his warhammer.

Isari gets an OA on the Hammerer
1d20+13=17 - Hammerer v Isari Miss.

Frustrated, the dwarf slams his shield into the swordmage, hoping to knock him off his feet and fails miserably.

Isari slashes at the hammerer as he circles around him.

With a look of grim determination on his face, Quillan moves over and once again smashes the bolter over the head with the butt of his axe.

"Listen to me ya' fool! Snap out of it! This isn't natural! Maybe my brother can knock some sense into ye'!"

Move Action: Shift to I10
Minor Action: Call Spirit Companion in H9.
Standard Action: Bond of Retribution on B2 w/ OoE

The golden-eyed dwarf glares at Quillan, willing his weapon to crash into the newly formed spirit companion. Quillan doesn't allow himself to be distracted and the bolter is forced to take more direct action. Something in the avenger's appearance makes him fluff the blow.

B1 backs away from Rusty and Dorvin and a terrifying glitter fills its eyes, luring the dragonborn towards him and dazing him with the promise of riches. Rusty steps eagerly forward, unable to withstand the promise of gold.

Damage 2d10 + 10 ⇒ (3, 4) + 10 = 17

Save vs All that Glitters 1d20 ⇒ 20

As Rusty aims at the bolter, the insane gaze sweeps over him and he once more feels his blade turning in his hands towards Dorvin.

Outraged with himself, he attacks his comrade and then casts aside the bewildering madness that seems to be seeping over him.

For the Love of Money (Will). Immediate interrupt when targeted by melee attack. On hit, instead of attacking the dwarf, target makes a basic melee attack of the dwarf's choice. If no such target exists, no attack is made.

Rusty, please make a basic melee attack against Dorvin.

Evidently hoping that the xorn will prefer the metal sprayer to them, the goldspawn shuffle closer to the odd machine, picking their way carefully over the treacherous ground.

And your own attack, if you please, Dorvin.

Dorvin moves away as Rusty swings once more, and makes his own attack.

Dorvin pushes contemptuously past the lunatic and hits the bolter hard, hoping to bring him to his senses.

B1 OA on Dorvin.
1d20+8=24. Misses.

The xorn bites another goldspawn, and the dwarf tries frantically to redirect the attack towards his ally. His efforts are to no avail and the goldspawn falls, vomiting forth more gold pieces.

Unfortunately, his foe finally manages to dodge.

Attack Possibility 1

Attack Possibility 2

Nayce attempts to take out Bolter 2, swinging his longsword in a shadowy arc.

Move to I8 and Shadow Storm on B2. 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33 vs AC. 1d8 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21 damage on a hit. (That includes +1 damage per creature adjacent to the target, and I'm including myself in that. Let me know if you have a different interpretation.)

If that takes out B2, I'll go with unconscious over dead.

One shroud on the Hammerer.

Between them, Nayce and Amenephus pile more damage onto B2, but fail to bring him down.

Hammerer recharge shield bash - fail

The Hammerer clouts Isari and moves purposefully to the far end of the room.
