Into the Blue: Spellgard II

Game Master Rev Rosey

Caine lunges at the bloodied void caller, hoping to finish it.

Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

The sharn's babbling pauses for a second as the void caller fizzes and vanishes under the assault.

Recharge: Leaping Plaguefire: 1d6 ⇒ 6. Recharges.

More internal consultation follows and the sharns tentacles extrude through the hex portals it has created, sending violent flashes of blue flame among the company.

Leaping Plaguefire (Fort v primary target, Ref v two secondary targets who are within 5 squares of the primary target. On hit secondary targets are dazed (se).
Attack (Fort): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23 - primary target is Brujo. HITS
Attack (Ref): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19 - first secondary target is Hobbes. HITS
Attack (Ref): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (16) + 17 = 33 - second secondary target is Caine. HITS

Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 6) + 7 = 17 fire and force 17hp to Brujo
Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 fire and force 10hp to Hobbes and Caine and both are dazed (se)

As the flames leap at Hobbes, he throws his arm up and suddenly his body is covered with glowing, magical scales. The flames miss him completely. "Shield of the Dragon" Hobbes says with a smile, as the scales drift into the ether.

I don't feel like being dazed. Sudden Scales grants a +6 to all defenses. :) If I hadn't, I still would have only taken 5 damage because of my dragon soul resistance. But I still would have been dazed. No thanks. :)

Stepping back into the shadows, Ceara appears next to the Sharn, once more attacking the creature.

Shadowstep to K7, place Shroud 2 on the Sharn, Inescapable Blade. 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31 vs AC, on hit 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Sweet, Crit! Damage becomes 2d8 + 13 ⇒ (7, 3) + 13 = 23

The sharn can do nothing to stop the unexpected attack from Ceara as the assassin leaps unerringly towards the main quarry.

Small consultation follows, as the void caller obeys and moves to help make an easy kill.

Tendrils of Terror (Ref). On hit target is slowed to end his or her next turn
Attack: 1d20+12=25 v Ceara. Hits (taken -2 for Kelgan's mark into account - balanced by +2 flanking)
Damage: 2d6+6=14. 14hp psychic to Ceara and slowed to end her next turn.

Another drone appears and moves to flank Caine.

Drone attacks on Caine - both v Ref
1d20+11=29 - hits. 6hp damage
1d20+11=14 - Misses.
6hp damage to Caine.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The sharn can make OAs with its threatening reach 2 via the hex portals.

so he can OA close burst 2 from the hex portals squares? or is it close burst 2 around the sharn, like reach? I don't understand. Please clarify.

Both, I think.

Kelgan steps forward and slashes through the drone attacking Caine.

Shift to G10 and using Reaping Strike on D4, getting flanking from Brujo(4 damage on a miss): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 301d12 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

He can OA using the hex portals with reach 2 - i.e. basic melee against anyone moving (as opposed to shifting or teleporting) away. Just like any other OA, but sneakier and with longer reach.

EDIT He's always had threatening reach 2 around himself, I just misread the powers regarding the hex portals. Essentially, being within 2 squares of either the sharn of a hex portal is putting yourself in range of an OA.

Kelgan continues his crusade to remove the drones, using Brujo to help him wipe out one more of the pests.

so stay away from moving around hex portals AND the Sharn itself. got it.

Hobbes, seeing Ceara being flanked by monsters, moves up to engage. "Guys," he calls to his other companions. "The girl is in trouble. We must save her!"

move to J13, use Dragonfrost on V3, +10 vs Fort, 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18, damage 1d8 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18 and V3 is pushed to J6

Hobbes again chants in Draconic and as he does, his breath becomes visible as if the temperature around him just dropped to freezing. His hands moved in unison, one wielding his dagger in some mystical passage and the other making hand signs. Then in a matter of seconds, he points the dagger at the Void Caller and releases his spell. The cold blast leaps at the taint like a howling wind. "I only hope I aimed correctly" Hobbes thinks to himself.

Picking his way carefully around the danger zones, Hobbes tries to distract the last void caller from its pursuit of Ceara. Chill power erupts from his blade, but the insubstantial alien is tough enough to withstand the attack.

Hobbes

Hobbes looks down at his right hand and complains, "Cassie, something's wrong with my cold spells today." Then he seems to be listening to something and then responds, "Well, sure, I guess I could try that."

dealing +13 damage doesn't help if you can't hit your target. *sigh*

"Off of her now," says Erik to the remaining Void Caller. "Come play with us."

Erik then attempt to lure the Void Caller over through the power of his song, the tone of which changes as he uses it to heal the nearby assassin.

Standard Action: Cutting Words on V3; 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14 vs. WILL for 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 psychic damage and on a hit, V3 is pulled to H9.
Minor Action: Majestic Word on Ceara; Ceara gains a surge plus 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 hit points and 4 temporary hit points. Ceara may also slide one square anywhere she wants (I assume away from the Sharn)

Thanks for the heal. No slide, though, I stay where I am.

Erik's attack has no effect on the void caller, its alien consciousness sliding out of his grasp.

Smiling slightly as some of her wounds heal, Ceara holds steady in the face of tentacled doom.

"Watch your back," Perigia shouts at Ceara. Then a bolt of energy leaps from her hand and lances toward the Void Caller. Cast Magic Missile at V3. 1d20+8=26 vs. Reflex to hit. 2d4+5=10 force damage

Perigia - note that if you do that from where you're standing, you'll take an OA from the sharn via the hex portal.

Move me to G4 please. I need to get more sleep. :)

So done. Just realised Erik should also have taken an OA from the sharn unless he moves. Would you like to Erik?

Force meets energy with a mighty sizzle and Perigia finds her form at last. Fragments of void caller spin off into nothingness.

Holding til tomorrow morning in case Laz gets his computer back.

Aware of the danger posed by the hex portals, Brujo shifts easily towards the drone and strikes hard. Although the blow hits, the drone manages to pull apart its substance long enough for the blade to pass through it harmlessly.

Pressing Strike (AC) - he can shift two squares before making an attack and on a hit can push target one.
Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22. Hits.
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

"Suck on these void spawn."

Shift to F6 and mark V3 as my quarry and launch two arrows at it.
First arrow attack 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25, damage = 1d12 + 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (12) + (7) + 7 = 26
Second arrow attack 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32, damage = 1d12 + 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (4) + (1) + 7 = 12

Edit: Second arrow is a crit, damage is 19HP

Kel's dazzling attack sends thoroughly disrupts the void caller, instantly bloodying it. Even as the arrows leave his bow, retribution comes from the sharn, as a savage tentacle smacks through the hex portal, trying to put deflect the attack on its servitor. Kel is too quick and deftly avoids the blow.

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
1d20 ⇒ 17 - save v daze

The sharn's babbling consciousness registers the fact and considers its options.

Recharge Leaping Plaguefire
1d6 ⇒ 5 - Yes.

Shifting away from Ceara, it moves one of the portals closer to Kelgan, Caine and Brujo before launching another blast of leaping blue flame at the assassin tormenting it.

Leaping Plaguefire. Three attacks. Primary target v Fort, two secondary targets v Ref. On hit secondary targets are dazed (se)
Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27 - Fort v Ceara
Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23 - Ref v Caine

Hits all of you

Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 - 9hp force and fire damage and dazed (se) to Brujo

As the attacks hit his comrades, Brujo's spell proves its effectiveness and fire leaps around the sharn, searing its flesh.

Since Ceara is in the most danger, I'm applying Brujo's Aegis to her damage. I forgot about this last turn and applied the 9 fire to the sharn retroactively. Hobbes please restore 9hp to your total for the Aegis from last round.[/b]

you missed me last round. Sudden Scales, lvl 6 utility power. immediate interrupt. +6 to all defenses for triggering attack. you see, I didn't want to be dazed, so I used this power to avoid being hit. someone else got the aegis benefit. Looks like it should have been Caine.

Nailed on as usual. I forgot about the Sudden Scales (which is a great image by the way - the shield suddenly apprearing around Hobbes). Caine's damage is reduced by 9 then and he's in better shape than he was.

Ceara winks at the Sharn. "I'll be right back, don't go anywhere." Then she ones move merges into shadow, and, this time stays shadowy when she appears next to Perigia.

Shroud 3 on the Sharn. Assume Shade Form (I'm insubstantial and have vulnerable 5 to radiant damage. Shadow step to H4 and use second wind. Shade Form allows a stealth check to become hidden if I have cover or concealment, which the bench seems to provide, so I'll roll that. 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25 I'm no longer bloodied.

Ceara adds to her elusive reputation as she vanishes into the shadows and stays there while she recovers herself.

The last void caller obeys its master attempting to finish Brujo and with him, the vexing Aegis, drinking deep of the surrounding life force in the room. No longer bloodied.

Tendrils of Terror(Ref). On hit target is slowed to end next turn.

"You two can handle this one." Kelgan starts running towards the sharn, picking up speed before slicing deep into it's form.

Move to I9, then charging S. I'm assuming Swift Charge means I have a speed of 4 for the charge, meaning I can actually reach it. Also, if Laz/you don't mind, I'll be replacing his mark. 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 351d12 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

EDIT: Crit, 2d6 + 18 ⇒ (5, 4) + 18 = 27 damage.

The babbling takes on a higher and more pained pitch as the half-orc hurtles across the room, ignoring the claw that erupts from the hex portal behind him. So unexpected is his departure that the claw strikes only empty air.

Kelgan and the sharn stand eyeball to tentacle.

Hobbes aims acid at the void caller, but the aberration just manages to avoid his attack.

Erik?

Rev, I will be out of town tomorrow. Feel free to go ahead and take Perigia's action for me.

Sidling backwards across the room, Erik slashes lightly at the air as he mutters imprecations about the sharn's parentage. The being's mind is too alien for him to find an appropriate insult, alas.

Cutting Words (Will). On hit, target is pulled 2 squares.
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Perigia sighs and takes the direct route to destruction, hurling magic missiles at the void caller. They thud tantalisingly close, but not close enough.

Feeling himself weakening, Brujo gasps for breath and tries to restore himself.

Braving the gauntlet of OAs Kel moves to 11H stowing his bow as he moves. When kel gets to 11H he will cast Cure Light Wounds and reach out and touch Brujo healing him. Brujo regains HP as if he had spent a healing surge +3.

"Well folks the medic is tapped out so I would suggest not getting hit."

Deftly avoiding the grasping claws snapping at him, Kel makes his way across the chapel floor and brings Brujo back to some semblance of active duty.

OAs on Kel.

Caine concentrates on distracting the void caller from summoning any more drones. Opening himself up to reprisals, he offers the thing a tempting opening with his own attack and invites Brujo to follow suit with a quirked eyebrow.

Brash Assault on V3. On hit, V3 may make an attack on Caine with CA, but if it does so, Brujo also gets at attack on the void caller with CA.
Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29

In the flurry of attacks that follows, the void caller comes off much the worst of the trio.
Bloodied again

1d20 ⇒ 5 - save v daze for Caine. Fail

The sharn watches impassively as its allies continue to disintegrate. Thoughtfully shifting clear it moves a portal nearer to Perigia and Ceara's misty form before turning its full attention to the looming figure of Kelgan.

Leaping Plaguefire recharge: 1d6 ⇒ 5. Yes

Independent Action. Two different attacks v same target. If both hit, target is dazed.
Attack Claw (AC) v Kelgan: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20 - misses

Gliding like a ghost back towards the Sharn, wrapping shadows around it the who time, Ceara puts herself in position to strike once more. As she does, she turns back into her normal, solid, form.

Shroud 4 on Sharn, move to M6, invoke the shrouds, and use Inescapable Blade. 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18, targeting AC. On a hit:1d8 + 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + (4, 3, 3, 4) + 5 = 20. On a miss 3d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 1) = 10

"I told you I'd be back." she hisses to the thing.

Ceara's attack doesn't do much, but she forces the creature to remember her presence, even so.

Panicking, the void caller sucks more life from the material plane and eases away, floating into Hobbes and stroking at him with lascivious tendrils.

Hobbes holds his side from the Caller's attack. "Fine. You want to get up close and personal, take this!" He shifts his hold on his dagger and chants some Draconic. His breath grows cold again and his blade glows a blue-white. Then he slashes with the dagger.

Dragonfrost (using Sorcerous Blade) on V3 (+10 vs Fort, 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29, damage1d10 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16 cold, and V3 is pushed to H13)

The cold erupts from his blade into the Void Caller and pushes the taint away from him.

Hobbes's blade slashes almost faster than the eye can see and the void caller is forced to retreat under the chill blow.

Ugh, sorry. Home for the first time all day.

Erik sings a hymn praising the dawn's light and is rewarded with a gift of luminescence which he channels down the length of his blade and launches at the remaining Void Caller.

Standard Action: Song of the New Dawn on Sharn; 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 vs. REFLEX for 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (1, 2) + 5 = 8 radiant damage and on a hit, Brujo can make two savings throws against his daze and take the best result.

Sound and light combine to break through the void caller's defenses, further debilitating the strange entity. At the other end of the chapel, the sharn starts to flicker slightly and the voices contained within it babble with concern.

BRUJO - make two immediate saves v daze and use the better of the two results
