Return of the Rune Stones (4e - Part VI)

Game Master Rev Rosey

I added 3d6 to my last damage for my weapon crit (the 4,4,4), but if you need another 3d6, here you go (4,2,6).

update on Chary: that attack bloodied her (31/88 HP), so it triggers her ardent eruption, which gives any allies within 5 squares of me +4 damage USMNT

As Chary sways under the Portal Lord's attack, the fomorian smiles evilly and strikes again.

Bloodied within his aura giving him a free attack.

Arianwyn fires a blast at one of the approaching guards and contemplates his next move.

If he drops, my DSA goes up to 3.

G10 evaporates in a blast of eldritch power as the remaining guards do their best to hold the warlock, the drow and the gnoll still. Succeeding all too well, G8 and G9 focus their attacks on the valiant drow and send her crashing to the ground. G2 lands another blow on the allied raver, who now looks to be hanging by a thread.

Tutavak dispatches two more guards.

Edited due to over-pessimism on their ACs

Holding himself slightly aloof from the messy melee, Tutavak concentrates on the guards and brings another two crashing to the ground, impaled by his arrows.

More dead than alive, YR1 charges towards the Portal Lord at the instigation of YR2 and then returns the favour. Both attacks miss, the follow up is much better as the pair swing viciously.

"This can only end in your death." the warlock intones as dark energy pours forth from his eyes into a guard.

DSA vs G2 - immediate interrupt.

3d8 ⇒ (5, 6, 3) = 14

Oh gosh, look at that. My DSA resets to 1. :D

Sigh. Edited above, narrated below.

The thud of falling fomorians continues apace.

No longer bloodied BTW.

Kia fires one of her magic arrows at the portal lord.

Paint the bullseye at PL 1d20+17 = (8)+17 + 1=26; 1d10+3+4 = (6)+7=13 damage, but I doubt it hits... If it did, everyone gets +1 to hit PL and +4 to damage PL to start of Kia's next turn and PL is at -2 to all ranged and area attacks.

Seeing Chary is unconcsious, she moves to U10 and returns the favour by healing her for a surge plus 3d6+8=(3,3,2)+8=16HP.

Also, If Chary fails her saving throw againt the ongoing damage, she may use Kia's Brooch of No Regrest power, if she wishes and throw again with a +2 bonus)

Kia's arrow again misses as she allows herself to be distracted by Chary's plight. Moving closer, she favours her drow friend with her unique take on feeling healthy and is gratified to see the un-natural paleness of her skin darken slightly.

The enemy Raver is having none of it. Granting his lord a free charge into the warlock, he attempts to bring Kia and Whiteclaw to their knees.

Delayed edit: she also stands from prone.

Rising, Chary takes a moment to settle herself and catch her breath, watching out of the corner of her eye as the Portal Lord goes to work once more.

Swinging at your bloodied fomorian ally, he shouts joyfully as it falls and calls out to the surrounding forests.

The elven speakers among you know that he is calling for allies.

Arianwyn nods at his handiwork and moves to rejoin the main party.

Map didn't update properly, but has now done so. Demised YR1 is no longer with you and PL is in the right place.

Arianwyn returns to his comrades and looks with concern at the forest.

"At last!" Tutavak cries. Changing weapons on the run, he barrels at the giant portal lord, spear in his hands. With a quick reversal, he sends the creature stumbling away.

Total 33 damage. AP used.

Tutavak's wild charge bloodies the Portal Lord at last. Both the fomorian's eyes turn a deeper red and the stone on his back pulses, imbuing him with primal energy.

Feywild Backblast recharges and he uses it immediately as a reaction.

Battered, but unbowed, YR2 moves and charges howling towards the Portal Lord, adding to the damage he has already taken. The way is clear for Kia to organise the troops at her disposal.

Temporal Slice is go!

Chary was feeling slightly better, and then was bloodied again almost as quickly as she was healed! Temporal slice away.

Chary: bloodied (30/88 HP). If anyone has any more help, it may be nice soon! I can heal you guys, but not myself so well.

Arianwyn, I will see what I can do on my turn!

As he teleports away, the Portal Lord slices vindictivesly at Chary and Tutavak.

1d20+20=37 v Chary. Hits. 1d10+8=13 damage and 5 ongoing force (se)
1d20+20=36 v Tutavak. Hits. 1d10+8=18 damage and 5 ongoing force (se)

Map updated to reflect bloodied status of both.

Kia is up.

Arianwyn, I will see what I can do on my turn!

Chary, did you also take the heal that Kia gave you on her last turn? One surge+16?

Kia knocks another arrow to her bow and fires at the portal lord, hoping to help others bring it down eventually.

Move to S13:
Paint the bullseye at PL vs AC. 1d20+17+1=(15)+17+1=33; 1d10+3=(3)+6=6 damage and everyone gats a +4 bonus to all damage rolls and a +1 bonus to all attack rolls to the start and end (respectively) of Kia's next turn. These bonuses only apply to attacks on the Portal lord.
Additionally, PL is at -2 to all ranged and area attacks to the end of Kia's next turn.

Seeing the wounded, she heals Chary. "I'll keep you upright, and you can help Tutavak!"

Chary can spend a healing surge with an additional 3d6+4+4=(4,3,2)+8=17HP

Kia's arrow does little overt damage, but does highlight weak spots in the Portal Lord for her allies.

Outraged at the insult to his leader, R1 grants him a free charge towards Kia and follows up by moving to flank and attempting to behead her with his greataxe.

Portal Lord Charge: On hit does 5 ongoing force damage (se)

Bloodied... Kia only has one healing surge left, so she may use her next inspiring word on herself. Don't worry about healing her for the moment. The more people there are within 2 squares of her, the more she can heal.
46/95HP 1/8 surges.

Still got lots of healing for everyone else.

Chary feels much better. She would like to focus attacks on the portal lord, but has a nasty raver beside her. She flicks her rapier at its belly, trying to aid Tutavak. She then shifts backwards from the raver and then she offers another healing spell to Tutavak.

STANDARD: Rewarding strike (aug 2): (12)+18=30vs AC
on hit: (3,7)+10+2(soulfire) =22 damage and Tutavak can spend a healing surge.
MOVE: Shift to R18.

Tutavak (or others): I have a Daily Minor that provides a healing surge...but if you are dying, it heals a surge+2d10. If you want it, I will spend it, but generally I wait for the fall (consequently it often goes unused).

Chary: not bloodied (65/88 HP), 8/10 surges

Thanks. Happy to take the one surge, but that leaves me with 2. I'd rather conserve those for 'dying' situations at this point.
Still bloodied.

Do you mean that it heals us as if we had used a surge, or that it makes us actually use a surge?

sorry for the lack of clarity...it states "as if", so it does not require you to spend a surge (it is called "from the brink" if anyone wants to look it up for specifics).

Note, I also have a daily standard action called "Serene Mind" that gives some resistance (to psychic damage) and other bonuses, but allows you to end the effect and regain HP "as if" you spent a healing surge. I can use that next round if anyone wants it, but its being a standard action limits my other actions.

Sensing danger from the drow, the Portal Lord moves her further from the fray before slicing once more at Arianwyn, hoping to bloody the warlock.

Kia - I've put you at P16 as P18 isn't adjacent to PL. Hope that's right.

Bloodied and battered though she is, Kia calls on all her reserves of heroism and leadership and leaps alongside the hated Portal Lord. Her mithrendin sword glowing dark, she drives it deep into him, and sending fey blood cascading over the ground.

The Raver shifts and swings at Arianwyn, ignoring the white form of Whiteclaw at his side.

standard action: victorious urging (augment 4): (12)+18+1(bloodied)=31 vs AC.
on hit: (4,7)+10=21 damage and push him North (up) 5 feet. AND Until the end of your next turn, you and your allies gain a +2 power bonus to attack rolls against the target and any enemies adjacent to it (sustain minor).

Chary's rapier adds to the carnage as she shoves the Portal Lord unceremoniously away from her friends. Eyes crazed beyond even the normal insanity of his race, the giant shifts and strikes feebly at Kia before teleporting clear.

Shift and Temporal Slice v Kia. Rolled a 1.

12 psychic and 13 normal, and I'm invisible to him until start of my next turn.

"And now it ends." Arianwyn murmurs.

The Portal Lord falls and the straps holding the rune stone to his back break loose, toppling the ancient rock onto the ground beside him. It pulses furiously, drawing all minds towards it.

It will be making attacks v Will against everyone on the Portal Lord's turn (i.e. when he went in the init order).

Tutavak has difficulty adjusting to the absence of the portal lord's aura.

As Tutavak makes the necessary adjustments and sends his arrows into the air, your ally moves to pick up the stone and slips into the harness.

"Kill them and I will rule here. The stone is mine now."

Arianwyn narrows his eyes.

"How unsurprising." he sighs bitterly.

"You do realise that we shall have to kill you too?" he says with an air of tedium.

"And we were just starting to got on so well."

"Let's concentrate on one of them for now. I suggest our old enemy (i.e. R1). Everybody into position!"

Kia decides to stay out of the fray for a bit and let everyone move to a more convenient location (should they desire) for a concerted attack.

Move action: Order from chaos Kia and each ally can shift their speed as a free action, ignoring difficult terrain, and gains combat advantage against all enemies to the end of Kia's next turn.

What happens next depends on what everyone does, so I will wait until people post their free move and post the rest after that (sorry). I'm hoping that Whiteclaw will move up to R1 so Kia use her Commander's Strike with Whiteclaw to hit.

Healing situation: Kia can grant another player an additional healing surge while also healing them as if they had spent a healing surge+some random number depending on how close her allies are. So if you need healing but are low on surges, don't be afraid to ask and she will supply. She can't do this to herself though and she only has one surge left. Additionally she has two more inspiring words she can use on herself or others.

I'm on 17 hp. An inspiring word would be really great.

Whiteclaw listens to Kia and moves wordlessly towards R1. Wordlessly, but not soundlessly. A slow growl is building that bodes no good.
