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

Game Master Rev Rosey

Part 6 of the Rune Stones saga.
Fomorians and Nuckalavee, oh my.

Kia snaps irritably at Darius and turns her considerable attentions to the Shaman.

Arianwyn shrugs slightly and points his rod casually at the Stone wielding mystic. Eldritch light outlines her briefly as he takes sweet vengeance for the earlier mental befuddlement she inflicted on him.

"Very well, Mistress Rubarka."

Eldritch Blast (Ref) v Shaman.
1d20+21=41. Crit.
1d10+15=25 plus 2d8=16 plus 2d6=8. Total 49 damage to Shaman. She's not pleased. She's also bloodied.

The Wisdom Seekers decide to move out of the aura of the slowing stone and send debilitating looks at the nearest companions. To no avail.

Evil Eye (Will). On hit target is immobilised (se)
W1 v Chary. 1d20+18=22. No.
W2 v Tutavak. 1d20+18=19. Really no.
W3 v Darius. 1d20+18=25. No.
W1 and W2 both double move.
W3 attacks Darius.

W3, already wounded, sees no reason to change his course of persuasive action and smashes at Darius with his mace.

Shifts back one. Reach 3 attack.
1d20+20=40. Crit v Darius.
21 damage to Darius.

Darius - roll an immediate save at +2.

Immediate save 1d20(10) + 1 + 2 = 13

Just as Darius regains his senses, he gets whacked over the head.


The first of Tutavak's arrows finds a painful home in W3, but the second bounces off. Clearly this particular Wisdom Seeker will be looking for a new cycle of existence in the near future.

Move action: shift to H20.

On hit: (8)+10 damage and Darius gets 12 Temp HP.

Chary steps up to the wounded wisdom seeker and tries to help him seek wisdom in that future existence by stitching his stomach with perforations.


Chary proves extremely persuasive. As W3 falls into a new karmic cycle, Arianwyn flickers out of sight and reappears behind a stone pillar.

The Shaman wraps herself and Kia, Chary and Darius in darkness, masking herself from sight.

The warden disappears into the floor just as some mushrooms appear behind the shaman.

Shift to L16 using Earthstride.

Amidst the pale fungi stands Darius, who goes for the back of the knee.

"Even mountains are brought low by the passage of time."

Mountain's Stature
1d20(18) + 18 =

Glowing eerily among the fungi, Darius intones a warning and sends the Shaman crashing to the ground. She clutches the Stone tightly to her and glances upwards. The reverberations of her fall send tremors through the cavern.

Kia moves out of the zone of darkness and invites Darius to clout the Shaman once more.

Move to H13:
Commmander's Strike Allowing Darius to make a basic melee attack on the shaman with a +5 bonus to the damage roll


Kia moves huffily out of the darkness and points out an promising spot to Darius.

The Shaman closes her eyes and starts to chant. It is hard to tell if she's trying to regain her composure or preparing something unpleasant, but the sound is particularly piercing. The supporting pillars start to vibrate.

Over to you Darius.

Melee Basic Attack

30 vs AC; 1d8(2) + 10 + 5 = 17 damage.


Leaves whirl around Arianwyn, concealing the warlock as he blasts ineffectually at the prone Shaman.

Rolled a 3.

The remaining Wisdom Seekers glance upwards and work to first immobilise and then smash Chary and Darius. Keeping close to the supporting pillars, they have considerable success.

"No, you will not," Tutavak mutters as he closes his eyes, focusing his other senses on locating the shaman. White flame bursts around the shaman, also enveloping Darius, where it lingers.

Take 10 damage. Minor: Focused Sight on S -- TEOMNT, no penalties from total concealment. I think I can quarry S now, as I can't see W1. Standard: Soul Flare vs S Ref -- area burst, so no penalty vs prone.
1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 292d10 + 7 + 2d6 ⇒ (5, 10) + 7 + (2, 4) = 28
Effect -- soulfire on Darius. On hit, 28 fire to S.

Save vs ongoing 1d20 ⇒ 6


Tutavak calls in his ancestral knowledge of fey tactics and looks through the deceiving mists directly at the Shaman. She winces as the attack hits and her chant grows louder. Darius flares slightly as Kargzant power fills him.

Female Drow Ardent 13

Chary is at a loss for what to do for a moment, then calls herself to task. She heals herself, thanks the gods for darkvision before throwing fire at the outline of the shaman, and then flings the shaman around the room, garnering the attention of both Darius and Kia.

Chary is bloodied. All allies within 5 gets +4 damage UEMNT.
Minor: Ardent surge on self (surge +12) (now 45/88, no longer bloodied).
Minor: Darkfire--(17)+17=34 VS shaman. on hit: Until the end of your next turn, all attacks against the target have combat advantage, and the target cannot benefit from invisibility or concealment.
Standard: (daily)Passage of Swords--close burst 3 vs Shaman (20 CRIT!)+18=38.
on hit: target is dazed, and Effect: You slide the target 5 squares. Each ally adjacent to the target during this slide can make a melee basic attack against it as a free action, with a power bonus to the damage roll equal to your Charisma modifier (+5). Slide shaman 5 squares so that Darius and Kia each get a whack at it, and leave it adjacent to Kia and Darius, please.

save vs immobilized: (12)

Okay, so that was complicated, but the short of it is that: 1) Shaman cannot gain benefit from invisibility or concealment and all allies gain CA on Shaman UEMNT, 2) Kia and Darius get melee basic attacks on the shaman with CA and a +8 bonus to damage, and 3) Tutavak gets +4 to damage UEMNT.


Male Human Warden 14

I thank Chary and Tutavak for the damage the Shaman is about to receive :)

Melee Basic Attack
1d20(14) + 18 + 2 =
34 vs the Shaman's AC; 1d8(3) + 10 + 8 = 21 damage + 3 fire damage.

Also, that last crit took me down to 6 HP.


Chary flares with power as her wounds briefly overcome her. Urging Darius on, she sees with satisfaction that the warden at least has damaged the Shaman yet again. In the aftermath, it is clear that the Shaman is hanging on by a fine thread, but nothing stops her passionate desire to convert the newcomers.

Kia- make a basic melee attack please v Shaman with CA.

Still prone, she turns her gaze on Darius, lashes out at Kia and kicks viciously at the rocky pillar.

Staying prone.
Evil Eye v Darius (Ref). On hit target takes 10 ongoing necro.
1d20+18=38. Hits.
10 ongoing necro to Darius (se)

Death's Touch v Kia (Fort). On hit target is slowed (se)
1d20+18=31. Hits. 4d4+5=17
17 damage to Kia and she is slowed (se)

Uses move action to kick pillar. It crumbles in a burst 1 attacking v Ref and renders the ceiling extremely unsafe. Using ranged powers now brings a chance that you'll collapse the whole cavern.
Attacks v Shaman and Kia.
1d20+16=29 v Kia. Hits. 3d8=17 damage
1d20+16=25 v Shaman. Miss.
Another 17 damage to Kia. Total 34 this turn.

Kia is bloodied

Kia concentrates on her task and takes a blow at the shaman.

Basic melee 1d20+19+2=(3)+21=24 vs AC. In the unlikely event that hits, she does 1d8+7=(3)+7+5=15 damage.


Kia's attack bounces off the Shaman.

Darius is up.

Female Drow Ardent 13

Chary can help Darius pretty heftily on her turn...she has "from the brink" with gives him surge HP without spending the surge, plus 2d10+5 hp and he will get to stand from prone as a free action. I also have one more ardent surge to share. Of course, that assumes Chary doesn't get squished by WS1 and WS2 this turn!


Female Eladrin Warlord/10

Kia looks towards Chary to see who is best placed to help Daruis, but finds she cannot see her. Seeing her ally in an unconscious mode of existence, her compassion gets the better of her and she heals him to enable him to fight another turn.

Minor: Inspiring word for Darius who can spend a healing surge and, additionally, gain 3d6+5=(6,1,6)+5=18HP.
Standard: Withdrawal Gambit vs Shamanb vs AC. 1d20+19=(11)+19=30 vs AC. If that hits, the shaman takes 3d8+7=(6,8,8)+7=29 damage and Darius can make a saving throw with a +2 bonus. (He can also shift up to 5 squares if he wants to)

Move: Kia shifts to G12

Save vs slowed: 1d20=1


Darius hears Kia's words and opens his eyes. There is simply no way he will ever be able to disobey that voice.

Are you shifting, Darius?

The warlord continues to make her feelings about the Shaman quite clear as she delivers a firm comment on the unwisdom of kicking down caverns.

Will update map and take Arianwyn and Wisdom Seeker turns once Darius confirms where he will be.


Male Human Warden 14

Thank you, Kia. Back in the game at 50 HP.

I'm baffled by how the shift 5 granted by Kia interacts with the prone condition. Would he be able to shift half his speed while prone or not at all? Either way I doubt he'd suffer the ignominy of crawling away, so I guess he'll stay put.

As it's a move granted by a power, I think you can take the whole movement if you want to.


Male Human Warden 14

The warden rolls to a better position (L17).


With a mighty effort of will, Darius rolls away from the pillar as the ceiling shakes again.

Arianwyn fires a bolt of eldritch light at the fallen Shaman and heads towards her as she falls, clutching the Stone of Wisdom to her in a death grip.

"Take the Stone," he commands generally.

Eldritch Blast (Ref) v Shaman
1d20+13=27. Hits.
1d10+15=24 plus 2d8=7 curse damage. Shaman dead.
Arianwyn teleports and then moves to the Stone.

The Wisdom Seekers send up a terrible howl as their leader falls and beat at the adjacent columns, bringing further rock falls. Any moment now, the whole cavern will start to collapse.

W1 tries to hold Chary still the better to hit her, while W2 charges Darius.

Kia bolsters her friends and delivers a stern warning to W2.

Keeping firmly on track, Arianwyn moves towards the stone, his limbs treacle-like and tries to pick the thing up. Alone, he cannot manage it.

Seeing his purpose, the Wisdom Seekers also move towards the Stone.

Both Wisdom Seekers double move (i.e. 4 squares)
Chary gets on OA on W1.

37 vs W2's AC; 1d8(8) + 10 + 4 = 22 damage and W2 is slowed until the end of its turn.


Female Drow Ardent 13

AoO on W1: (18)+18= 36 VS AC, for (6)+7= 13 damage.
Also, she spends the surge and is no longer bloodied.

Chary spies to find a weakness in the creature moving by her, and thrusts her rapier towards it. And she tosses a "Thanks, Kia!" as an aside.

I just read more about my ardent eruption power that grants +4 damage just after Chary is bloodied...and realized it is an encounter power. Therefore I have not added it in this turn.


Tutavak's arrows bounce unsatisfyingly off the fomorians as they start to chant again.

"No, you imbecile. It is not just a stone," hisses the warlock as he attempts to wrap his arms around the six foot rock.

"It is a powerful artifact and I for one have no wish to spend the next several years disinterring it from rubble."

Chary and Darius both stab successfully at their respective foes.

Kia - make an OA v W2 please.

Female Eladrin Warlord/10

Kia was so surprised that Arianwyn was shouting at someone who wasn't her, she fails to spot her chance when the Wisdom seeker moves within range.

Kia rolled a 1 for the OA.


Aww :D Poor Kia. Arianwyn is fairly indiscrimate with who he insults.

@Chary - I'll amend the init list (and the bit about your power) with the next update. Don't worry. I missed it too.


Female Drow Ardent 13

Chary tentatively strikes at the Wisdom Seeker in front of her, before moving to block its path into the darkness.

Standard: Energizing Strike (augment 2)--(6)+18 = 24 VS AC
on hit: (4)+10= 14 damage and one ally can spend a surge...on a miss, nada.
Move: shift to G18.

Chary also looks up to get an idea of how quickly the ceiling is likely to fall on us.

perception--(10)+8 = 18


Walked backwards into trestles and duffed up my back.

Chary's natural anxiety over the ceiling helps her to mistime her attack.

Looking up, she sees ominous cracks appearing. She has no idea how long the stonework will hold up, but she has a feeling that Arianwyn is right and that they, the Wisdom Seekers and the precious Stone may well be in danger of vanishing under rubble.

"I know the stone means a lot more to you than it does to the fomorians, much more it would seem," admits a bemused warden.

"There'll be plenty of time to hug the Affection Stone after we're hauled it out of the collapsing mine."

Strength of Stone
1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36 vs W2's AC; 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15 damage and Darius gains 5 temp HP.

Shift to K17.


Darius shifts, smites successfully and offers some practical advice. Arianwyn snarls but says nothing, too occupied in trying to think of a way to keep the Wisdom Seekers away from the treasured object.

Rev:
Would I be able to use my daily power, Nature's Abundance to summon some sturdy vines to hold the ceiling together (at least for five minutes anyway)?


Darius:
Quite possibly. It depends on what it does exactly and what you have in mind. Run it past me.


Male Human Warden 14

Rev:
Let's see, Nature's Abundance creates a zone of plants until the end of the encounter. So I was thinking of having a lattice of magical climbing vines sprout out of the ceiling to act as some sort of webbing or scaffold to maintain the structural integrity of the place (like repairing a cracked windshield before the crack gets bigger). Though after further consideration it probably won't work or it might even bring down the ceiling quicker, so never mind.

Oh, and how's the duffed up back after the Extended Rest? :)
