Leo the half elven Paladin |

Zombie 2 is nearly on its knees, but manages to grab Leo in response to his challenge. 1d20+4 v Fort = 18. See above for escaping.
Rolled on athletics but got a 5+4-5 for a total of 4!
Have learned of a mistake I made on my character sheet and have corrected it but I do ask that you take a look just in case also a question if I'm being grappled does that prevent the use of say a daily power such as On Pain of Death on the zombie currently grappling Leo?
Rev DM |

It's not proving the best day for pcs in either of my games. The Savage Blight team have all rolled dismal init versus a bunch of very tough gnolls and now a couple of zombies are about to chow down on you chaps. Happy Christmas one and all :D
Zombie reflexes are very poor, but Leo remains grabbed. As far as I can see you can take an standard action. My instinct says it would be at some kind of penalty, but I can't see what. The attempt to escape counts as a move. This being so, you should in theory be able to make a second escape attempt in lieu of an action. The PHB does not seem to say you can't. Unless I'm looking in the wrong place. Can anyone help us out here?

Being grabbed immobilizes you, meaning you can't leave your space (except by teleportation). It does not affect your ability to make attacks.

Oddly, didn't see this one. Correct -- he can take a standard as usual, or swap the standard for a second move (escape attempt).

Brujo |

Brujo quickly blinks out of existence and reappears behind the undead group.
"Burn", green-blue flames wrap around his blade as he attacks a skeleton.
Fey step to L15. Greenflame blade on s2 1d20+8=18; Damage 1d8+5=8 cold/fire damage

Perigia |

Perigia casts Acid Arrow at S2. 1d20+5=14 vs, Ref for S2, 1d20+5=13 vs ref. for Z1, and 1d20+5=10 vs Ref. for Z3. Damage to S2 is (2d8+4)+1=18 acid damage ad 5 ongoing. (Save ends). Z1 takes (1d8+4)+1=11 acid damage and 5 ongoing (Save ends). Z3 takes the same damage. Note that the extra +1 is from the Burning Blizzard feat.
"Take that," Perigia shouts as she lobs a sickly green arrow at the monsters.
Rev, if my attack misses S2 takes half damage and 2 ongoing, and the secondary attacks don't happen.

Rev DM |

Brujo teleports effortlessly into a nest of enemies slicing easily into the bony corpse next to him. Perigia's attempts are less successful. Her acid arrow eats into the skeleton, but the surrounding zombies are unaffected. It was a miss, but S2 still takes 9hp acid damage with 2 ongoing.
S1 gleefully stabs the Commander as he struggles to free himself. 1d20+8=24, 1d8+2=10hp damage to Commander Caine.
S2, distracted by the acid ravaging its body, fails to hit Brujo, but manages by sheer force of undead personality to stave off the continuing damage. Failing to hit but made the save.
S3 and S4 merely advance.

Rev DM |

Would you like to use your move action to try and escape the grab or are you happy just to stay there and hack it to pieces while it holds you close to its rotting bosom? If you want to try and escape you need to roll either Acrobatics v Ref or Athletics v Fort. If you succeed, you can shift as part of the escape movement. EDITED to take account of Cronin's correction. I always mix those two up. Sigh.

Rev DM |

The wight chants horribly and hurls a bolt of necrotic power at Cronin. Unable to withstand the horror, the shifter is immobilised.
Grave Bolt v Will. 1d20+6=19, 1d6+4=8 necrotic damage. Cronin is immobilised. Save ends.

Cronin - feel free to act as it's unlikely to impact much on Fairwind

Cronin |

Cronin, though rooted to the spot, is far from helpless. He invokes Selune's sacred flame on the zombie grabbing Commander Caine, burning it badly and granting Caine some relief.
Sacred Flame vs Ref on Z1, then save (1d20+6=11, 1d6+6=10, 1d20=9) 10 radiant, 2 temp hp to Caine, failed save

Did I escape? If yes, please shift me to an open space, Rev.

Fairwind's stab strikes a vital spot and the zombie clutching at Leo falls into a slumped heap of rotting horror. Zombie 2 is dead - there has to be another term for dead undead, surely?
The remaining zombie tries to wrap its putrescent arms around Brujo, but the wily swordmage easily evades its attack.

Brujo |

Brujo jumps back from the undead attackers
Shift to M14.
He raises his blade, and with a cold look in his eyes releases the weapon, "Burn them to ashes...Llamear Muerte".
He hurls the blade, now looking like a cloud of burning cinders, at the undead.

After covering the area with red flames, the blade reforms in the moon elf's hand.

Leo the half elven Paladin |

The wight winces slightly as Perigia's arcane blast hits it.
Just holding on for Leo to sort himself out before I sort out the skeleton moves and update the map.
Sorry about that that caught me offguard and I've only got back online after correcting a problem with my antivirus setup
Leo reacts with uncustomary haste as he levels his holy symbol ahead of him.
"Sorry to cut and run I hope your passage into the next life is as quick as it can possibly be...ON PAIN OF DEATH!" Leo invokes with his prayer.
Rolled a 15+5 for a total of 20 to hit vs its Will on S4 if it does hit it does 3d8+4 damage rolled a 8+4+4+4 for a total of 20 damage and it will take an additional 1d8 damage after any attack it makes (once per round) until it makes its save, (Please note that if this missed the damage is halved to 10pts and it takes an additional 1d4 damage each time it attacks but only once per round until it makes its save) Leo will then move to C-15 then D-15 and finally to E-14 since he can see S3 from there using his divine challenge on S3 and then using an action point allows Leo to bestow upon it a holy strike rolling a 19+9 for 28 to hit which if it does inflicts 1d8+5 radiant damage and roll a total of 9pts of radiant damage to S3
Rushing to the otherside of the crypt Leo catches another foe and cuts loose with a holy strike upon it hoping he can reverse his poor decision that forced Fairwind to back him up.

Rev DM |

Leo's flurry of activity wrecks havoc on the skeletons and bones char under his divine powers.
Skeleton 1 attacks Commander Caine, slashing effortlessly past the warlord's defences. 1d20+10=27, 1d8+2=9hp damage to Commander Caine.
Skeleton 2 attacks Brujo and also hits, but the longsword sheers away at the last moment, doing substantially less damage. 1d20+10=28, 1d8+2+4hp damage to Brujo.
Heedless of its doom, Skeleton 3 launches itself at Leo and manages to evade the paladin's guard. 1d20+10=23, 1d8+2=6hp damage to Leo.
Skeleton 4 leans around the corner to attack Fairwind, and even with that disadvantage manages to land an blow on the dexterous ranger. 1d20+8=22 (includes -2 penalty for cover), 1d8+2=6hp damage to Fairwind. Even in its moment of triumph, the continued effect of Leo's spell afflicts it and it suffers further damage itself. 1d8=7 damage to Skeleton 4 which is now bloodied. Skeleton 4 also failed its save. Go Skeleton 4.

Apologies Perigia - amended.
The Commander and Skeleton 1 face off against each other, man to bone. The wight stays securely on the roof of the tomb and fires more necrotic damage at you. This time the target is Leo.
1d20+6=21 v Ref; 1d6+4=8 necrotic and target is immobilised. Save ends. 8hp damage to Leo and he is immobilised.
Fairwind is up
Cronin - still immobilised.

Rev DM |

Brujo |

Cronin's attack bloodies skeleton 3 and grants Leo the mental power to break free of the immobilising spell cast by the wight.
Just to confirm, but S2 is still standing after Cronin's and Brujo's attacks. Also the map seems to be wrong I had moved to M13 during my last turn.
Shift to M14.

Rolled a 13 so Leo will be back to mobility next round, makes it easier as this round he'd use second wind to recover I am assuming even immobile he can do that?

Yes. Immobilized just means you can't leave your square, no other limitations.

Rev DM |

Icicles form on Perigia's victim and its movement is clearly slowed. Leo takes advantage of his temporary immobility to draw power from within himself and holds his ground.
Skeleton 3 attacks Leo, jabbing at the paladin with its longsword. 1d20+10=24, which is a hit even with Leo's +2 to defences this round. 1d8+2=7 damage.
Skeleton 1 continues to focus on Commander Caine. 1d20+10=23, 1d8+2=9 damage to Commander Caine.
Skeleton 4 concentrates on Fairwind. The bony foe finds an unlikely opening in the half-elf's defences and slices her nastily. Crit. 10 damage to Fairwind.

That's a miss Commander. No temp hp or attack bonus.
The wight looks on triumphantly as the skeletons stand their ground. With a hideous cackle it points a gnarled finger at the remnants of skeleton 2 and the bones knit together and rise again.
Your old pal Skeleton 2 is back. Not as good as new, but with you once more. It stands as a free action.
Gloating, the wight shoots an immobilising grave bolt at Fairwind and misses. It hisses with frustration.
Fairwind is up
Cronin - still immobilised
Zombie - which I forgot about last round.

Cronin |

Cronin attempts to blast the skeleton harassing Caine with his lance of faith, but misses badly. He is still able to invoke Selune's blessing to heal the Commander partially.

What the hell! Damn post monster! I posted a whole post. Fairwind got 20 something to hit her skelly using Hit and Run for 11 damage, and then got 19 or 18 to hit the one attacking Leo for 8 damage.
Fairwind stabs her foes, snarling "I've had enough of you!", rolls aside, and slices at Leo's opponent.
"Need a hand, preacher?"

"Certainly looks that way doesn't it?" Leo remarks a little crestfallen.
"I never knew undead could be this infuriating..." Leo adds wondering what else he could mess up today.I think Leo is bloodied too

Rev DM |

Took a guess on Fairwind's position, let me know if that's not where you planned to end up.
Fairwind's blows deal more damage to the bony dead, as she dashes between the two skeletons. Cronin's healing powers restore the Commander and Zombie 3 hauls itself back into action and tries feebly to grab at Brujo. It fails utterly to do so.
