Game Master Rev Rosey

Putting Rusty and Isari in Guldarin's suggested positions unless told otherwise. Feel free to amend in your next posts.

Guldarin's micro-climate sweeps Rusty and Isari free of the clinging mosses. Sap pours from C4 now as well. C3 is barely more than a trace of sludge on the stone floor, its phosphorescence nearly extinguished.

Guldarin hit everything except C1.

Nayce sends his shadowy noose at C3.

Executioner's noose: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19 vs fort. 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 force damage.

A second shroud on the Shambling Mound.

Cloak of Shades: Until the end of your next turn, you gain concealment against all creatures and are invisible to creatures that are more than 5 squares away from you.

Back up to BB31.

Nayce's noose misses the Mound, but it has little way of knowing where the attack came from as the assassin vanishes up the hall and into shadow.

The dragonborn holds his shield up, ready to push the enemy back.

Rusty moves to Aa31 and readies an action to use Tide of Iron as an immediate reaction.
Trigger: An enemy makes an attack from Z30 or Z31.

Map updated to reflect Rusty's position. Rusty since Guldarin granted you a free shift and you could have got there using it, you still have a move action and minor if you need them.

Isari is up.

No longer bloodied, thanks to Dorvin. Minor, mark S with Aegis of Shielding. Standard, Lightning Lure on C3(vs Fort, Lightning damage, pull to Z30 on a hit): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 301d6 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Isari wipes out C3 as tattered remnants shred under his attack. The Mound shambles forward, reaching for Rusty, long tendrils poking incongruously through Amenephus's Spirit of Healing.

Double Attack (AC). Makes two tendril attacks with reach 2.
1d20+14=26 - v Rusty. Miss.
1d20+14=29 - v Rusty. Hits. 1d8+5=10 normal and 1d8=6 lightning
16 damage to Rusty.

Rusty - the trigger for your attack didn't go off, but if you'd like to take your turn now, you're welcome. Otherwise tell me if you still want to delay.

Since I marked the shambling mound last turn, Rusty takes 13 less damage from that attack, for 3 total.

Awesome! Thanks Isari!

Move to Z31.
Tide of Iron @ Shambling Mound 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36 AC; 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 damage. Hit: The Shambling Mound is pushed one square and Rusty shifts to Y31.

Regain 6 HP courtesy of Amenephus' Healing Spirit.

Rusty goes nose to tendril with the Shambling Mound and pushes it back into the chamber. Around its base, tendrils of cavelight moss emerge, lured by the scent of fresh food. The doorway fills slowly with amubulant, carnivorous vegetation.

C1 attacks Rusty.
Grasping Tendrils (Ref). Reach 2. On hit target is restrained and weakened (escape ends both)

Amenephus calls down sacred fire upon the mound and lets some of its warmth flow into Rusty.

The smell of burning vegetation starts to fill the corridor as Amenephus bolsters Rusty and sends a blast of divine fire into the Mound.

Move to Y30. Standard - Furious Smash vs Shambler (vs Fort). 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28

On a hit, it takes 5 damage and Rusty gains a +4 power bonus to attack and damage on his next attack vs the Shambler. If he does not attack it, he loses this benefit.

The dwarf warrior grunts and joins Rusty at the front..

Dorvin plods up the corridor and hacks at the mobile compost, and opening up a weak spot for Rusty. Behind him, Amenephus's spirit glows, sending warmth and healing over his stocky form.

Dorvin regains 6hp from the Spirit of Healing.

Nayce assaults the primitive consciousness of the shambler.

2 shrouds on the shambler, using killer's insight.

Minor: Slayer's Endurance. The first time an enemy takes damage from your assassin’s shroud before the end of your next turn, you gain 5 temporary hit points for each shroud on that enemy.

Nightmare Shades on Shambler using 2 shrouds. 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21 vs Will. 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (6, 6) + 8 = 20 psychic damage on a hit, and the target grants combat advantage to me until the end of my next turn, and to EOMNT, I gain a power bonus to damage rolls against the target equal to my Charisma modifier.

Damage from 4 shrouds: 4d6 + 12 ⇒ (2, 3, 1, 5) + 12 = 23. (15 shroud damage on a miss.) I gain 20 temp hp.

Somehow Nayce finds a way to cause agony to the Shambling Mound's meagre intellect. The mountainous plant beast writhes as dark shadows invade its tiny brain and fire up long forgotten neurones.

Guldarin would quite like a chance to act at some point.

B@@#%*%s. I have no idea how I managed to cut out the long-tongued dwarf. Please have a turn right now. Make that two in fact. I'm pretty sure I managed to make you miss one already.

Only one turn behind, I think. Should have got in after Dorvin.

Guldarin stares down the passage, racking his brains to remember what he can about the creatures. "Looks like electricity won't be good," he mutters. "How about thunder?" A peal of thunder crashes over several of the plants.

Thunder of Judgement, targeting 3 creatures;
Attack Shambling Mound 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33 vs Fortitude
Attack C4 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33 vs Fortitude
Attack C2 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24 vs Fortitude
Damage 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 thunder damage and target is dazed
Knowledge check, Dungeoneering, against the Shambling Mound 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15 - does it have any vulnerabilities or resistances?

Guldarin thoughtfully taps his staff on the ground and watches with interest as he dazes two mosses and the Mound. Thunder works where lightning would not. Vegetation rocks in the sonic boom.

Mound is immune to lightning but has no vulnerabilities.

Minor, mark S and C1 with my Aegis of Shielding. Can't do much else at the moment.

Isari puts his artic mark on the Mound and C1 and bides his time.

The Mound lashes out at Rusty, lightning spraying from its tendrils.

Double attack (AC)
1d20+14=28 v Rusty. Hits. 1d8=5=10 plus 1d8=2 lightning damage
1d20+14=23 v Rusty. Miss.

I believe Isari's Aegis of Shielding kicks in as an immediate interrupt to negate the 12 damage.

Rusty feints left and right with his sword as he tries to get past the Mound's flailing tendrils.

Hesitation Slash @S 1d20 + 20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 20 + 4 = 33 AC; 2d10 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (1, 2) + 10 + 4 = 17 damage.

Rusty risks a face full of compost and stabs the Mound hard. He hits something vital and lightning arcs alarmingly as the Shambler starts to drip.

C1 grabs at Dorvin, C2 flails aimlessly at empty air and C4 gropes around the corner to feast on Rusty.

Grasping Tendrils (Ref). On hit target is restrained and weakened.
1d20+14=29 - C1 v Dorvin. Hits. 3d8+7=19
1d20+12=16 - C4 v Rusty. Miss.
19 damage to Dorvin and he is restrained and weakened (se both)

Amenephus once again channels divine fire into the monster and his ally.

Divine light mingles with the lightning spewing from the Mound as Amenephus continues to demolish it. Rusty feels more healing warmth surge through him.

Dorvin grunts and tries to pull free. He holds aloft his axe and cries "C'mon lads, we cannae be put doon by compost!"

Save
1d20 ⇒ 18

Dorvin kicks his way free of the moss and stumps back a pace. The plants cannot be said to quail, but his friends are touched by a fresh desire to inflict damage on them.

"The dwarves are upon ye, cabbages!"

"I don't think they're cabbages, Dorvin. Nowhere near malevolent enough." Guldarin ponders for a moment, then brightens up. "Sprouts, perhaps. Or maybe leeks. Horrible things, leeks."

Nayce disappears and emerges into the shadow of the Shambler before swiping at it with his blade.

Shadow Step to Y30. 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20 vs Will. 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16 damage. 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 with a +5 bonus to damage.

Shade Form: You assume a shadowy form that lasts until you make an attack roll or until the end of your next turn. While in this form, you are insubstantial, and you gain vulnerable 5 radiant. In addition, you can make Stealth checks to become hidden if you have any cover or concealment, and you can use cover granted by your allies both to become hidden and to remain hidden.

1 shroud on C1.

Allowing the dwarven discussion about dangerous vegetables to provide distraction, Nayce leaps into the shadows and finds a way to impose himself on the Mound. Utterly befuddled, the creature looks ready to lash out at its allies.

Nayce - did you add Dorvin's +2 to your damage roll?

Yes.

No real ranged attacks I can use, so full defense.

Unable to see Nayce and by now thoroughly enraged, the Mound attacks Rusty once more.

Little though they know it, the mosses lurking behind it are due for an unpleasant surprise as the Mound flings itself about even more thoughtlessly than usual.

As I read it, Nayce's power kicks in at the end of the moss turns not the Mound turn.

Feeling indignant, Rusty roars in the face of the Shambling Mound while unleashing a Comeuppance Strike.

@S 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 32 AC; 2d10 + 10 ⇒ (7, 10) + 10 = 27 damage. Hit: Rusty makes two secondary attacks:

@C2 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35 Will; Hit: C2 takes a –2 penalty to all defences until the end of Rusty's next turn.
@C4 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31 Will; Hit: C4 takes a –2 penalty to all defences until the end of Rusty's next turn.

Rusty gains 6hp from the Spirit of Healing.

No mere plant can face down Rusty in this mood. Many tendrils fall as he attacks the Mound and almost indcidentally blows apart the cavemoss defenses.

Unaware of their imminent demise, the mosses continue to extrude tendrils, desperate for the taste of fresh blood.

Tendril (AC) from C1 and C4 v Rusty. On hit target is weakened to end moss next turn
1d20+15=30. C1 v Rusty. Hits. 1d10+6=10
1d20+15=25. C4 v Rusty. Miss.
10 damage to Rusty and he is weakened to end C1's next turn.

In a blind rage, the Mound lashes out at all the mosses, demolishing C4 and reducing C2 to nothing more than a few tangled strands. Alone of the plants, C1 is relatively untouched.

Tendril (AC) v C1, C2 and C4
1d20+14=30 v C1. Hits. 1d8+5=8 plus 1d8+5=8 +5 from Nayce. 21 to C1
1d20+14=18 v C2. Hits (thanks to Rusty's defense drop). 1d8+5=13 plus 1d8+5=7 +5 from Nayce. 25 to C2
1d20+14=21 v C4. Hits and kills it.

Amenephus calls on a little divine luck and sends another flaming strike at the mount.

Erathis is on call, just enabling her servant to hit the slowly reacting Mound. Yet more of her radiant grace sluices into Rusty.

As I read it, Nayce's power kicks in at the end of the moss turns not the Mound turn.

That's how I read it, too. With Nayce, I'm used to trying to isolate enemies because I do more damage that way, but that just wasn't happening in this combat.

When life hands you lemons, make the bad guys kill each other.

Delay.

Escape: make an Athletics (v Fort) or Acrobatics (v Ref) check to escape. This is a MOVE action and on a success includes a shift of one square as part of that move.

Spirit of Healing - allies in the same square as the spirit or adjacent to it regain 6hp on hit. Sustainable and mobile.

Allies adjacent to Dorvin gain +2 to damage to end his next turn. (Isari, Nayce and Rusty at present).

Guldarin
Dorvin - used second wind - DELAYING
Nayce - insubstantial and vulnerable 5 radiant to next attack or end next turn (also concealment stuff in his last post)
Isari - +2 all defenses to start next turn (full defense)
Shambling Mound - BLOODIED and doing an extra 5hp lightning damage on hit; under Isari's Aegis; grants CA to Nayce with damage bonus to end his next turn; dazed to end Guldarin's next turn; attacking all adjacent cavemosses with basic melee +5 damage to end Nayce's next turn
Rusty - weakened to end C1's next turn
Cavelight Moss 1 - one shroud
Cavelight Moss 2 - BLOODIED; -2 all defenses to end Rusty's next turn
Amenephus

"Rotten repulsive radishes." Guldarin tries out a description of the plants. "Lethal limpid leeks." He points, aand a bolt of radiance blasts down among them. "You're going to be salad when we're finished!"

Divine Bolts, W30, area burst 1
Targeting Shambling Mound, 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26 vs Fort
Targeting C1, 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28 vs Fort
Targeting C2, 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36 vs Fort
Damage, 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 radiant
Edit: And C2 gets a Crit, so 3d6 + 14 ⇒ (1, 3, 6) + 14 = 24 damage.

Guldarin demonstrates exactly what he means as he shreds C2 into tiny pieces. The Mound is also looking barely viable - a single good blow might well reduce it to still compost.
