Sleeper in the Tomb of Dreams

Game Master FabesMinis

Akahale is standing for no nonsense from upstart tieflings and simply points his rod at the interloper.

Darkspiral aura at 3 - Shadowblade 1 is bloodied.

Eldritch Blast (Ref)
1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32
1d10 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16 - power damage inc +2 for bloodied foe
1d8 ⇒ 7 - curse damage

Move three squares to top of hill. Concealment gained
Curse Heretic 2

The tiefling easily dodges Hadarai's clumsy blow. His laughter is cut short as Akahale shoots him in the back, and he falls to the ground.

The air fills with fire and incantation as Otto and Grafire find themselves surrounded by snakes. Otto feels flames licking him, to add to his woes.

"It'll take more than a little fire to end me." Otto glares at the bandits, and the air around him seems to be boiling from more than the flames.

Bloodied, so Ardent Outrage triggers. H2 and the last two lackies both grant CA until the start of my next turn.

Shae moves slightly, the sends another blast of fire at the enemy.

Shift 1 north, then Scorching Burst on the square south of heretic 2. It catches both lackeys and the heretic. Targets reflex. North lackey: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13, south lackey: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21, and heretic: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29. On hit: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 fire damage.

Manny bursts forth from the brambles, cussing and fussing as they drag at his robes, and stumbles to the base of the hill.

Move 3 squares diagonal SE

"Oh, reeeeeeeealy?" Manny responds to the Tiefling;s laughter, grinning evilly.

"Well then, I got something for ya!" He cackles, and unleashes a a blast of wintry air from his staff and orb that centers itself directly next to Otto and then explodes in a tiny winter storm!

"Oh,... Uh,... Um,... Duck Otto!" He cries sheepishly, and belatedly, as the storm batters his friend as well as the villains.

Use Encounter 7, Winter's Wrath. Centered directly above Otto, should get all of the bad guys around him. Unfortunately I do not have the power's info here at work, will have to roll tonite when I get home!

BUMP for Grafire, Manny and Otto.

Winter's Wrath, target in the space above Otto to catch all of the surrounding enemies. Vs Fort, Area Burst 2 within 10 squares, 'A blizzard erupts in the designated area and continues until the end of your next turn. It's area is lightly obscured, and any creature that starts it turn in the storm takes cold dmg equal to your Int mod. (+5)'

3 in range, 3 to-hits & cold dmg:

Move Grafire into flanking position with Otto's lackey to the SE.
Grafire glares at the lackey. "Your attachment to your leaders is your down fall, now suffer the consequence."

Attack lackey
Viper Strike - If lackey shifts BEOMNT Otto gets a OA.

I don't see how you can flank with Otto - Otto is SE of the lackey. You can get to the lackey and attack, and still hit even without the bonus. I'll do that to keep things moving. The lackey falls.

Grafire appears to aid Otto, cutting down one of his assailants.

Manny - I don't know why you made 3 attack rolls, as there were only 2 enemies. Now there's only 1. That and your ice cloud will harm Otto and Grafire at the start of their next turn. You may want to rethink your turn.

Guys, can I be honest? Is there something I can do to make the counters clearer as to who everyone is?

I think you are doing fine I guess I got confused on the lackeys. Other than that I follow pretty well I think, right?

Just tired here. :) As my wife will tell you, I assume things are my fault. All is cool; I just people to make informed choices. So, now you've dropped a lackey, we need Manny not to give you freezer burn. :D

Yah, my fault, I realize now that you told us when 1 lackey dropped, but I still saw 3 gyuys on teh map, so I opted for area attack. My bad. Freezer burn avoided!

Manny looks surprised when, instead of the expected mini-ice-storm, another volley of bolts flies forth and plow into the remaining lackey near Otto.

11 pts force dmg

Manny looks at his staff, taps it a couple of times.

"Silly thing must be stuck,..." He mutters, looking at teh end of the staff,...
IE= looking down the barrel! :)

Shift and Demoralizing Strike(-2 to all defenses until EOMNT) on H2: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 341d10 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Otto grins as his blade slices through her flesh. "See? You can't hope to beat me."

Crit, 17 + 2d8 ⇒ 17 + (4, 4) = 25 damage. Also, Ardent Surge on myself, 2d6 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5 extra HP and +2 attack to myself until EOMNT. Also no longer bloodied. 1d20 ⇒ 191d20 ⇒ 2

Grafire Roars with approval at Otto's statement. "Get 'em my friend."

OK, Grafire already took down the lackey, and the Heretic is out of line of sight for Manny, given that he's at the bottom of the hill. Sorry!

Otto causes a deep gash in the tiefling's skin but this seems to only harden his resolve. "We shall prevail!" the fiend-tainted spellcaster cries.

An axe-bearing warrior clambers from hiding in one the face's 'eyes'and slams into Grafire!

1d20+9 = 24 vs AC 12 damage to Grafire

Hadarai blunders up the hill, following the sounds of battle. His vision clears.

Double move.
1d20 ⇒ 13 - save v blindness.

Reaching the top of the hill at last, Akahale drops a dainty curse on the nearest heretic (lucky number 6) and fires his trademark bolt of dark energy across the field of battle.

He pushes his glasses further up his snout and looks hard at the face in the hill. Is it, or is it not the face from his disturbing dreams?

Curse Heretic 6.
If Heretic 6 is on full hp, then Spiteful Glamor (Will)
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
1d12 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 - power damage
1d8 ⇒ 6 - curse damage

If Heretic 6 has been hit, that will be an Eldritch Blast (Ref) at +14, so 25.
Curse damage stays the same, power damage would be 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9.
Move three squares east to gain concealment and possible tree cover.

An involuntary shiver runs through the scholarly dragonborn as he recognises the face. He leeches some of the life force from a tiefling with in a cool casual manner... or at least the appearance of one.

The tiefling shave obviously been shaken by the resilience of the party. None of their attacks have any effect, and one stumbles on a tree root, as she tries to stab Akahale in the back.

H2 shifts then runs. H3 - Serpent Curse on Otto - 21 vs WIll miss. H4 attacks Hadarai with Balefire 13 vs Ref. MIss. H5 moves and uses Balefire on Akahale 17 vs Ref. Miss. H6 attacks Akahale with dagger. Miss.

"Hey Otto, this guy appaerently does not agree with us whoopin up on his friend. I guess he wants his own share." Grafire follows up with a nod here and a nod there, then a hand gesture and a foot wiggle.

Wolf Pack Tactics on B4. Shift Otto 1sqr E., Shift Grafire 1sqr diagonal SE into flanking position.
"Zip , zap kapow. What do you think of that?" Grafire asks the bezerker.

"Hey? Where'd everybody go?!?" The elderly mage complains. He starts trudging up the steep hill.

"Youngsters. ALWAYS in a friggin' hurry. NO respect for their elders. Especially the SLOW ones!" He grumbles and gripes all the way up the hill,...

The hill is difficult terrain, yes? So I can only move 1/2 speed unless i run?

Difficult terrain - Costs 1 Extra Square: Each square of difficult terrain you enter costs 1 extra square of movement. You can double move, in which case - Difficult Terrain: When you double move, you can sometimes move over more squares of difficult terrain than normal, because you add the speeds of the two move actions together and then move. For example, if your speed is 5, you can enter only 2 squares of difficult terrain when you walk. If you double move by walking twice in a row, you can enter 5 squares of difficult terrain, not 4.

BUMP for Otto. I assume Manny is double-moving.

Double moving is fine. He doesn't want to miss ALL the fun! ;)

Energizing Strike, 9 temp HP to Grafire on a hit. 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 251d10 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 121d20 ⇒ 16

Berserker Bloodied - makes Battle fury attack - 22 vs Otto's AC. Miss. Berserker attacks Otto 21 vs AC - miss. Shift away. Grafire gains 9 temp hp.

Otto's psychic power sparks into Grafire, giving him renewed energy. In the process Otto parries the rabid attacks of their foe, who then jumps back in anger.

Hadarai moves and charges, determined to try and hit something before the fight ends. The object of his wrath is heretic 6.

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23 - Holy Strike. On hit target takes addional 1 radiant damage.
That might actually hit. So ...
1d8 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 = 9

Akahale moves away, ignoring the danger of leaving a tiefling behind him.

"I wish to examine this face in greater detail."

Takes OA, moves two squares east and one north. Concealment gained.

Hadarai hits! OA on Akahale - miss. Akahale hits - H6 now Bloodied.

Otto's psychic power sparks into Grafire, giving him renewed energy. In the process Otto parries the rabid attacks of their foe, who then jumps back in anger.

"Damn you, reptile!" the tiefling cries. One of its fellows casually causes the short dragonborn to burst into flames.

H6 shifts and moves. H5 attacks Akahale with Balefire 20 vs Ref. Hit - Akahale takes 13 fire damage and ongoing 5 fire. H4 double moves. H3 attacks Manny with Balefire 28 vs Ref Hit. Manny takes 12 fire and ongoing 5 fire H2 attacks Otto with Balefire - miss.

Grafire shifts 1 sqr SE between the Berserker and the gaping stone mouth.

Finally a target worthy of my power! Bwahahah!

Er, I mean, I count it as 9 squares from where Manny is to the spot between 5&6, so,...

Save vs ongoing fire;
1d20 ⇒ 1

Oh, you have GOT to be kidding me! ;P

Huffing and puffing, Manny pulls himself to the top of the hill, just in time to be engulfed by fire, and keep burning,...

Manny currently at HP:11, and bloodied

The elderly wizard's howl of pain becomes a howl of rage as he conjures a small blizzard to engulf two of the foes.

Freezing cloud, Cold burst 2 within 10 squares, target is spot between 5&6, on Hit, 1d8+10 cold dmg, cloud lasts until EOMNT, and any creature that ends up in the cloud, or starts it;s turn in the cloud, is subject to another attack!

2 X hit rolls, 1 X dmg; these do NOT include bonuses, as from Grafire, if applicable
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 161d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 171d8 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Manny - your're going to have to move as you cannot see that square - there's a large statue blocking your line of sight. Also, you make saves at the end of your turn, not the start.

Ah, ok, I missed the statue on the map, my bad. I thought the only thing blocking LoS was a friend! ;P So, I moved LAST turn, so I can still move THIS turn, yes? If so, I will move forward a few squares until I CAN see the target square! THEN call forth my mini-blizzard! :)

Your own allies never block los. Enemies provide cover -2 to hit to other enemies.

Attack Berserker with Demoralizing Strike using my reach(-2 to all defenses until EOMNT), then move adjacent to H5: 1d20 + 14 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 14 + 4 = 211d10 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Hit H6 and missed H5, Manny. Otto takes down Bererker. I' moved you as near as poss to H5, but she is in an ice cloud so you prob don't want to go in there...

AN icy cloud envelops two of the tieflings, nearly bringing one down. Otto stabs the last berserker in the back and moves to engage the spellcasters.

Hadari makes his way doggedly across the desperate ground.

Double move as far east as possible avoiding hazards other than his own feet.

Akahale ignores his smouldering scales and does his best to bring down a tiefling before moving further up the hill.

Eldritch Blast (Ref) v Shadowblade 6
1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15
Ummm.... and then again, maybe not.
Moving three squares north if possible and gaining concealment. If not possible, moving one east and two north.

1d20 ⇒ 7 - save v ongoing fire

He continues to smoulder.

I'll roll the attacks in the ice cloud to save time. vs H5 and H6 1d20+11 - 22 and 14. hit and miss. 1d8+10 ? damage = 12. H5 now bloodied. H5 attacks Shaeryyn with Balefire - 24 vs Ref.

Hadarai comes under sustained fiery attack but manages to defend himself with his shield. His hour has come.
