Halls of the Mountain King (4E) (Inactive)

Game Master Rev Rosey

"Face the thunder." Guldarin gestures towards the ceiling, and a peal of thunder rings out over the nearest devils. "Smite them all."

Thunder of Judgement, targeting H3, K1, K2
Attack vs H3 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25 vs Fortitude
Attack vs K1 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19vs Fortitude
Attack vs K2 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19vs Fortitude
Damage On hit, 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 thinder damage and the target is dazed
Move to V5
Minor, Sword angel will attack H1, 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21 vs Fortitude, damage 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

A sonic boom echoes around the chamber as Guldarin's attack bloodies one Hamatula and his angel swings hard and effectively at another.

Got both Hamatulas, missed the Kytons.

MAP

Terrain notes: Lava and water stream down channels cut into the chamber. They are only a foot deep, but standing in the lava will deal 5hp fire damage if you enter them and another 5hp fire damage for round you start your turn or remain in them. They can be crossed with a jump.

The large brown thing to the left is a huge wheel linked to the Shank which pumps both water and lava to the sacred forges.

The Forge of the Fire Blessing itself is at the top of the fifty foot (5 squares) platform running along the north side of the room. It is accessible via the staircase to the right.

Isari (resist 5 fire); restrained and taking 5 ongoing fire (se both)
Dorvin (resist 5 fire) - Encouraging Stance (when Dorvin hits with a melee attack, a bloodied ally within 5 squares gains 8 temp hp. He can grant temp hp if he misses as well, but grants CA to whatever he missed to end his next turn); +1AC and gains 5 temp hp at start of turn (Wall of Light); grabbed until escape; restrained and taking 5 ongoing fire (se both)
Amenephus - BLOODIED; dying. Needs to make death save; dazed (se)
Rusty - BLOODIED; immoblised (se); +1AC and gains 5 temp hp at start of turn (Wall of Light)

Guldarin

Bump for Isari.

Attacking H3 with Frigid Blow(Cold damage, -2 speed and 5 Cold if it attacks me before my next turn on a hit): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 341d10 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 111d20 ⇒ 18

Isari drives his blade deep into the servant of Mammon and wrenches himself free of the Hamatula's grasp.

"Ye bastards!" Dorvin cries as he sees the fallen form of Amenephus. "Ye're gonna wish ye were back in the Hells!"

Surround Foe vs H3's AC
1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 13 - 2 = 172d10 + 7 ⇒ (1, 3) + 7 = 11
Effect - slide Isari to any other square adjacent to H3.
Grant 8 temp hp to Amenephus - a temporary measure at best...

Move - Athletics vs Fort to escape:
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
If successful - shift to U6.

"Get up, ye wee elfish get!" Dorvin cries with feeling for his fallen friend.

Save - given that escaped and am resistant to fire, a bit unnecessary but...
1d20 ⇒ 14

In a flurry of movement, Dorvin breaks free, pulls Isari into a flanking position and gets Amenephus back to consciousness.

The assembled devils are unmoved by his admonitions.

Isari - put you flanking in the wall of light, but tell me if you'd rather be in another square.

Does temp hps get me back up? 1d20 ⇒ 9 vs daze, stand up if possible, and spend my second wind if possible again, with that save on daze it looks like i will use my second wind on the ground

Amenephus gulps the acrid air and restores himself as best he can.

Amenephus - you have all that correctly. The temp hp go from 0, so you're back conscious and haven't made a death save. Dazed gives you one action (unless you care to use an AP), so second-wind while prone is what I'm taking as your turn unless you tell me otherwise.

Amenephus - BLOODIED; +2 all defenses to start next turn - used 2nd wind; prone; dazed (se)

Still unable to feel his legs, the dragonborn unleashes his anger through a breath attack.

Dragon Breath close blast 5 (Q9:U13) 1d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 = 7 fire damage.
Against K2: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14 vs Reflex. Effect: K2 is marked till EONT.
Against H1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22 vs Reflex. Effect: H1 is marked till EONT.

Rusty can mark something with any attack right? And not just melee attacks?

Second Wind, +2 to all defences and Rusty regains 22 HP.

Save against immobilisation: 1d20 ⇒ 17

Rusty breathes flame over the nearest devils as he breaks free. The fire has no effect on the creatures, but he marks them for future attention regardless.

For reference, you hit H1, but all the devils have resist fire.

Tanya looks disgusted as neither of the powers she used so effectively earlier return to her, and paces impatiently along the ledge waiting for a better time.

Recharge: Infernal Greedfire: 1d6=3. No.
Recharge: Dimensional Binding (her version, Tarisaul inconveniently has a power of the same name that does something different): 1d6=4. No.

Nayce?

Nayce steps behind the Kyton and attempts a mighty blow with his blade.

Shadow Step to V12. Activate Slayer's Endurance Power. Army of the Night vs K3 using 4 shrouds. 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14 vs Will. 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 damage on a hit, plus 4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 1, 3) = 15 for shrouds.

On a hit: Until the end of your next turn, the target makes a melee basic attack as an opportunity action against any enemy that ends its turn adjacent to the target. The target makes the attack with a power bonus to attack rolls equal to your Charisma modifier. (+5)

1 shroud on K3.

Edit: Awesome. 1. The first three shrouds still do damage, though. Rerolling the 1: 1d6 ⇒ 2. 13 damage total.

Nayce teleports and attacks from his own shadow, but the flickering glow of the lava deceives even his sure eye and the blow does little. Even so, K3 is slowly being worn down.

Tarisaul Eris recharge Bludgeoning Shadow Tentacles: 1d6=3. No.

Spotting a small opening, Tarisaul moves surprisingly fast for so fat a man and darts to the stairs where he sends a bolt of force towards Nayce. The assassin is far too quick, however.

Force Blast (Ref)
1d20+13=20. Tarisaul v Nayce. Miss.

Thoroughly enjoying the carnage, the devils continue their deadly work, seemingly uninterested in the poision coursing through them courtesy of their infectious ally (H3).

Not prepared to let the cleric alone, one Hamatula moves in on the prone eladrin and attempts to take him out for good, while Rusty has to deal with a kyton and hamatula who wrap chains around him, holding him still once more. Isari suffers the same fate, but Nayce is again too quick.

I slide Amenephus to V7; I'm not sure anyone else wants a 5 square slide, but it is an option

Thoroughly put out by the attacks on his comrades and the desecration of this most holy of sanctums, Guldarin calls on elemental forces from the dawn of time and batters his foes.

That hits all of them.

Amenephus slides to comparative safety between his bulkier (and currently upright) friends.

Does anyone else want a 5 square slide?

Dorvin turns to Guldarin and says, "Keep an eye on 'im, ah'm gonna have a wee word wi' these two." before he charges towards the stairs.

Run to V19 (double move)- avoiding OAs

Fed up with being pushed around by devils, Dorvin breaks away and heads for the big guns on the platform.

Thank you, Amenephus!

+5 temp HP minus 5 ongoing poison and 10 ongoing fire at start of turn.

"Eat steel, devil-cactus!" roars the dragonborn.

Comeback strike @H1 1d20 + 16 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 16 - 2 = 17 vs AC; 2d10 + 8 ⇒ (3, 5) + 8 = 16 damage. Miss: Reliable.

Well... H1 is still marked until EONT at least.

Save against poison 1d20 ⇒ 1
Save against restrained and fire 1d20 ⇒ 3

Divine power washes over all the companions bar Dorvin as Amenephus clings to life and heals his allies.

Rusty takes what advantage he can, even though his own attack misses.

Tanya smiles eagerly as Mammon's power returns to her grasp once more. She flips a flaming coin over the ledge and as it lands, fire and light explode among the gathered friends, indiscriminately blinding them and her own allies.

Thanks to Amenephus' healing, I basically just have five more HP than I did at the end of my turn. No, not bloodied.

Note above.

Nayce.

Nayce sends his noose after the Kyton.

2 more shrouds on K3 (Killer's Insight). Executioner's Noose on K3 using 3 shrouds. 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16 vs Fortitude. 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15 damage on a hit plus 3d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 3) = 10 shroud. The target is slowed until EOMNT.

Edit: On a miss, that will be 7 damage and not slowed. The dice roller is conspiring against us.

Little by little, Nayce chips away at his devilish foe.

Beset as they are, the companions cannot help noticing Tarisaul's look of dismay as Mammon fails to regrant any of his more attractive powers.

Recharge: Bludgeoning Shadow Tentacles. 1d6=3. No.

Moving with more speed than seems likely, given his bulk, Tarisaul heads down the stairs and concentrates on stopping Dorvin.

Spiritual Weapon (Ref).
1d20+16=35. Tarisaul v Dorvin. Hits. 2d6+5=9
9 damage to Dorvin.

Blinded and raging, the H1 claws wildly at Rusty. Against all liklyhood, the devil lands a nasty blow, adding poison to the dragonborn's difficulties.

Venomous Slash (AC). On hit target takes 5 ongoing poison (se)
1d20+7=26. H1 v Rusty. Hits. 2d6+5=12
12 damage to Rusty. 5 ongoing poison (se) - which he's already got, so he doesn't take any more.

H2 moves towards Guldarin, while H3 keeps its attention firmly on Isari.

K1 and K2 stay with their preferred targets of Isari and Rusty, but K3 leaves Nayce and moves to try and hold down Dorvin. Both Isari and Rusty suffer somewhat, but the warlord is too quick for the kyton pursuing him.

Doubledown (AC). Kyton makes 2 basic attacks.
1d20+16=31. K1 v Isari. Hits. 2d4+2=7 plus 3 fire (not relevant to Isari)

Guldarin blandly ignores his blindness and urges his angelic chum to aid him. There is a satisfying chrunch of astral blade meeting devil flesh.

"You 'n' me, lardarse..." Dorvin mutters under his breath as he spies the cultist on the stairs.

Bouncing for Isari in case it vanishes in the sea of no-dots.

Isari enters into a defensive stance and tries to catch his breath.

Second Wind, but still bloodied. 1d20 ⇒ 31d20 ⇒ 8

Have I mentioned that I hate save ends? Because I do. I really do.

Blinded and clutched to the unwelcoming bosom of a devil, Isari takes a long breath and composes himself.

Move to Q23. Charge to M23 - Bull Rush vs Fort. 1d20+8= 25!
If that succeeds he's pushed to K21 (or rather several feet above it :D). I then shift into L22.

"RAARRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Dorvin pounds up the stairs, throwing his weight into the bulk of his foe.

Enraged dwarf muscle belts into Tarisaul's chubby frame, but the devil-worshipper just manages to stay on the stairs.

Immediate save v being pushed over the edge: 1d20=14

Man and dwarf are nose to nose, and it is hard to say who hates who more.

Stand up, 1d20 ⇒ 3 save vs daze 1d20 ⇒ 16 save vs ongoing, yep bloodied

Amenephus shakes himself off and stands, but cannot quite clear the cobwebs from his head.

Although unable to see him, Rusty definitely hears Dorvin's warcry and steels himself to fight on to the bitter end.

"Blood will spill, no matter where the sun hits the earth, until justice is served!"

+5 temp HP, –5 poison damage, –10 fire damage

Let's see:
Blindness: –5
Restrained: –2

Comeback Strike @H1 1d20 + 16 - 5 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 16 - 5 - 2 = 16 vs AC; 2d10 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (4, 8) + 8 + 2 = 22 damage and Rusty spends a healing surge. Miss: Reliable.

Save against:
Poison 1d20 ⇒ 10
Restraint and Fire 1d20 ⇒ 6
Blindness 1d20 ⇒ 14

Amenephus rises to his feet, still dazed, but still alive. Rusty flails haplessly in the grip of the devil, but gets his vision back and roars defiance even as his blow misses.

Dimensional Binding - 1d6=4. No.
Infernal Greedfire - 1d6=6. Yes.

Tanya smiles as her Mamman granted power returns once more. Seeing that her devils are largely in control on the ground, she turns her attention to Dorvin.

Infernal Greedfire (Ref). Burst 2 within 15, centred on N22. On hit makes secondary attack v Will. If that hits, target is blind (se)
1d20+12=19. Hits. 2d10=10 fire damage (resist factored in) and 1d10=7 radiant damage and makes secondary attack
1d20+14=24 v Will. Hits.
17 damage to Dorvin and he is blinded (se)

"Just give us the Teardrop before we prise it from your cold dead fingers. Mammon is merciful."

"Never." Dorvin growls.

"Never." Dorvin growls.

Free Action. To which Rusty adds, "Take your stinking chains off me, you damn dirty devil!"

I forgot to mention that the mark on Kyton 2 ended that turn.

Nayce comes to the aid of his beleaguered allies.

First, 1 shroud on K3. Move to V8. Executioner's noose vs H2. 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28 vs Fort. 1d6 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14 damage on a hit.

Nayce's attack all but finishes H2, but somehow the devil still clings to life.

Recharge Bludgeoning Shadow Tentacles: 1d6=3. No.

Dorvin senses, rather than sees, the implosion of air as Tarisaul teleports away from him, those less visibly challenged are all too aware of his reappearance on the altar next to Tanya. Unable to call on Mammon's greater power, he contents himself with firing a force blast at Dorvin.

Force Blast (Ref)
1d20+15=35. Crit.
21 damage to Dorvin.

H1 and H3 both attempt to drive poisonous barbs into their grabbed victims, while H2 grapples at Guldarin once more.

Poisonbarb Mauling (Fort) (grabbed target only). On hit target takes 5 ongoing poison damage (se)
1d20+10=24 - H1 v Isari. Hits. 3d8=10
1d20+10=28 - H3 v Rusty. Hits. 3d8=13
10 damage to Isari
13 damage to Rusty.
Both taking 5 ongoing poison (se)

Two of the Kytons converge on Guldarin, wading through lava to reach him, while K3 pounds up the stairs after Dorvin. Both heroes find themselves unwillingly bound up in molten golden finery.

Bound by Gold (Ref). On hit target takes 10 fire damage and is restrained (se both)
1d20+14=19. K1 v Guldarin. Miss.
1d20+14=22. K2 v Guldarin. Hits.
1d20+16=20. K3 v Dorvin. Hits
Guldarin and Dorvin both restrained and taking fire damage (se both)

"Finish it off, Sidarnisathian." Guldarin raises his warhammer in front of him, ready to swing it.

Sword Angel attacks H2, 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31 vs Fort; Damage 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Guldarin, blind as he is, swings at the same target; basic melee attack, 1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (17) + 8 - 5 = 20, damage 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Second Wind, regain 15 hit points, all defences are +2 teomnt
Save agains Blind 1d20 ⇒ 13
Save against restrained and fire 1d20 ⇒ 4

Serene in the face of adversity, Guldarin starts to turn the tide slightly in favour of the heroes as his angelic companion strikes down a devil.

H2 is down.
