Sleeper in the Tomb of Dreams

Game Master FabesMinis

Question (rules of course, still learning this system) ;P Since My 'attack' was technically a minor (maintain spell) that still leaves him one action to do, as he is still stunned, correct? I would love to shift one square diagonal to get away from the other one! :) Also, do I try to save vs stun now? If so;

1d20 ⇒ 1

EDIT- Nevermind,... (sigh) :)

I'm out of Surges. Can I drink that healing potion? Would it do any good?

I believe the healing potion will give you 10hp.

Manny - stunned and dazed are 2 different conditions. You are dazed - you can only take 1 action in total (it doesn't matter what type it is). In your case, you took a minor. If you were stunned (which you're not), you can take no actions (except to make saves). Saving throws always take place at the end of your turn (unless you are granted one by a power or feat).

Hadarai - unfortunately, the potion will do you no good, as they use surges to heal you. You must spend a surge to gain the hp.

I have a few more surges so I just need help activating them. So can I get the potion back then? I can do more heavy hitting.

Sure, we can ret-con you not giving him the potion. It's fair enough as Hadarai can't use it. Whatcha gonna do, Hadarai?

Hadarai is back on the verge of unconsciousness after that crit.
If I hit that Berserker, he'll just turn around and wack one of us for free, which doesn't do any of us any good... Ideally we leave him for Manny's Icehand, if possible (it worked well on the last two)

I'd like to get after Seer2 and maybe take him out, but with only one action... I could charge him, but that leaves me open to an OA from the berserker, and with only 6hp left that doesn't seem wise.... grrrr choices.
I think I'll shift away from the berserker, and hope to get one more openning.

Hadarai backs up, hoping to catch his breath long enough to find another openning before blacking out again. I'll move SE

The berserker won't be marked anymore because I shifted away and didn't engage him.

Save vs Dazed: 1d20 ⇒ 3 -- double grrrr

Seer 2 attacks Akahale with warp orb
1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 341d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
12 damage to Akahale
Seer 1 attacks Grafire with warp orb
1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 301d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
13 damage to Grafire

The seers babble to one another across the room, "OH dear, oh dear, this is unfortunate, Carstairs." "Indubitably, Chauncy!" "Where are you going, little reptile?"

Ah, thx for the clarification Fabes! (I really need to actually READ the combat chapter in my shiny 4EPH.) ;P

B4 attacks Grafire.
1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 14 + 2 = 291d10 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
6 damage to Grafire

Whoops, should have added that Akahale and Grafire are now dazed (se) as well. Awaiting Akahale's inevitable DSA attack vs the Seer before continuing.

DSA 5d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 3, 2, 2) = 10 to Seer 2.
That was utter rubbish. Bum.

Ah. I have just checked - You cannot use DSA when dazed. Sorry. But at least you still have it.

>>>>MAP<<<<

Are we supposed to be making a save attempt vs the Daze at the end of each round? Or is this an UEOE power? Well, since I can only do ONE thing, period,... time to chase a bad guy! :)

"Ewww,... That's gross." Manny makes a face that causes his wrinkles to wrinkle even more. He flicks his bony wrist, causing the ice sculpture to mimic his action and flick bits of red to the floor. He turns slowly around, peering myopically until he grins at the sight of the other creature next to Grafire.

"Ooo! A dishrag!" He cackles, and the ice hand turns and ponderously makes its way towards Grafire's dance partner,...

Wait, does using my minor to maintain mean that I can't even use my move to move the ice hand to the next target?!? !@#$%^,... :(

Is it save time yet? 1d20 ⇒ 4

End of Turn: At the end of your turn, you make a saving throw against each effect on you that a save can end.
Roll a d20, with one of the following results:
Lower than 10: Failure. The effect continues.
10 or higher: Success. The effect ends.
Choose Order: Whenever you make a saving throw, you choose which effect to roll against first, which effect to roll against second, and so on.
Modifiers: A saving throw normally doesn’t include modifiers; it’s just a d20 roll. Some powers, feats, or racial traits might modify a saving throw.

Yes, using a minor to maintain is 1 action.

What complete crud all around.

"Unworthy wretches!" the seer confronting Akahale crows, "You will kneel before our master, you will- urk"

And is cut short as the twitchy warlock blows a hole in his torso.

S2 dead.

Akahale looks smug.

Hadarai channels Corellon's grace into Manny.

(dazed action = Channel Divinity : Divine Mettle)
Manny, you get to make an immediate save with a +5 bonus -- we need that hand working :)
If we can get that hand on the last berserker, then the rest of us can concentrate on the last Seer. Go Team! :)

Also, Berserker4 isn't marked by me -- I haven't had the actions to keep him marked

Save vs Dazed: 1d20 ⇒ 5 -- rotten luck, no save

Thank you Hadarai! <cross fingers> Taking immediate save with +5 bonus:

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

YES! Another for the visiting team! :)

BAthed in the glow of Hadarai's divine illumination, the elderly wizard stumbles and shakes his head. He slowly lifts his head, his bedraggled hair and beard forming a frizzy halo around eyes that are startlingly clear. He slowly turns his head to lock eyes with the last beserker.

"Your turn?" He asks sweetly. "Hang on, I'll be right with you,..."

The remaining seer shrieks in outrage, "You killed Carstairs! You filthy lizard, I'll rip you limb from limb!" With that he runs towards Akaahle, huffing and puffing.

The remaining berserker attacks Grafire. The grizzled warrior parries the attack.

1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 231d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Flickr not co-operating with map, but the only change is that the Seer is now directly south of Akahale.

"While I regret the enforced conclusion of your friend's career, in the interests of accuracy, I must point out that I am a monotreme. Nor does this mistake in any way excuse your unfortunate alliance to abomination. It is possibly not too late to change your ways."

Akahale rams his glasses up his snout and stares hard at the seer.

"yeah what my bro said and why dont you do us a favor and die already geesh."
Attack berserker
Warlord strike - 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 13 + 1 = 24 all of your allies gain a +4 bonus to damage rolls against the target
Damage - 2d10 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (6, 10) + 5 + 2 = 23

"OH for the luv of all that's magic, will you PLEASE simply SHUT,... UP!?!?" Manny cries. And with a harsh, deliberate gesture, sends in his icy construct,...

Minor-Sustain hand, Move-move hand to attack, Standard- Attack!

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 122d8 + 10 ⇒ (6, 1) + 10 = 17

Oh dear, THAT can't be good,...

"If there is ONE thing I canNOT stand, it is someone WHINING! More than me I mean. But I'm an old man, I've EARNED the right! Right?" He asks, losing concentration and sending his icy construct completely off course,...

Both miss, I'm afraid. Berserker attack randomly 1 - Hadarai, 2 - Grafire:
1d2 ⇒ 21d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 321d10 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
12 damage to Grafire

The berserker dodges Grafire's attack and retaliates with one of his own.

Gah! If I hit the Berserker, he hits us for free... we can't take many of those free hits.

"Let the spellcasters finish this brute, lets take the Seer!"

Being dazed, I can't do much without risking an OA -- I'll just shift and try to get in better position for next turn.
-- Move one square SW (under Graf on the map).

Save vs Dazed: 1d20 ⇒ 12 -- nice!

Akahale is on DSA6 and the last seer is cursed.

"I concur with Mr Valenara's assessment."

Ah, Grafire never saved vs daze:
1d20 ⇒ 19
Grafire no longer dazed. Seer attacks Akahale with Twisted Staff vs AC:
1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 14 + 2 = 271d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
9 damage to Akahale and he is pushed 1 square.

Berserker attacks Grafire
1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 341d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
[b]Ouch, CRIT - 14 damage to Grafire

"Thank you. Your tactics have enabled me to blast you."

Akahale bows, ever polite, then murmurs quietly,

"Does anyone happen to have a healing potion to hand? Regrettably, I am somewhat injured."

On 1hp.

I have ingested the potion already. :(

A comical look of surprise flashes across the berserker's face as Grafire remains resolutely conscious.

I'll just get you all posting to speed things up. So tense!

>>>>MAP<<<<

Thought I just posted on this, but it seems not to be here. Trying again.

Akahale prepares to do his best and pushes his glasses up his nose.

Eldritch Blast (Ref) v Seer.
1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20
If it hits -
1d10 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17 - power damage
1d8 ⇒ 3 - curse damage

Agh. Miss, I'm sure. Akahale is on his way out.
1d20 ⇒ 12 - save v daze.
But, no longer dazed. Assuming he lives long enough to get any benefit.

The Seer parries the blast with his staff and sneers.

Manny squints, frowns, and makes a very slow and deliberate grabbing motion, again.

"Stand STILL you lil',..."

Same as before, Sustain Minor, Attack standard;

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 242d8 + 10 ⇒ (4, 5) + 10 = 19

"THAT'S better! Now stop squirming! This won't take long!" He cackles.

Is manny grabbing the beserker?

"Whaa...that was freaky!"Grafire brushes himself off and looks back at the beserker as he shifts 1 sqr SW draws his crossbow and fires
Crossbow vs beserk - 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 1 = 10

"Manny grab that beserker"

Hadarai grips his sword and hopes to stay conscious just a bit longer...
Shift SE
Ardent Strike vs Seer: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 14 + 1 = 28 vs AC, if it hits: 1d8 + 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + (4) + 8 = 18 and he's Sanctioned/Marked

My Mark (sanction or challenge): -2 to attack and takes 8hp damage if he doesn't include me in an attack.

Manny hit - Berserker is grabbed. Berserker Bloodied. Grafire - you're fine to shift away, but stowing your axe is a minor, drawing the crossbow is a minor and attacking a standard. You can stow, draw, and shift. It won't make any difference as you missed. Seer uses Bend Space and avoids Hadarai's attack, teleporting 3.

Grafire steps back, taking advantage of the old wizard's magic to begin ranged combat. Hadarai advances to protect his new friend Akahale, and his sword meets empty air as the foulspawn teleports away, crowing "You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!"

Seer recharge?
1d6 ⇒ 2
Nope...

The fat aberration sneers, "So you're alive, I thought you were done, I'm going to bring you down with my needle gun... oh where did I put it? Ah well, in any case, die."

With apologies to Hawkwind. Warp Orb vs Akahale ref:
1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 211d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
14 damage to Akahale.

Akahale retains his composure and collapses into unconsciousness.

At -13.

A burst of dark power erupts from AKahale as he collapses into unconsciousness.

"Ooh, you horrid toad!" the seer whimpers, "That stung!"

The berserker snarls and roars as it fails to escape from the icy grasp of Manny.

Death Save: 1d20 ⇒ 15

Akahale's grip on life is tenacious.

DSA 1 by the way since the total was over 12. Not that this is relevant at the moment.

Manny sneers at the beserkers futile attempts to wiggle free. The elderly mage eyes widen as Akahale is hit, and drops. He glares at the seer, turns back to the beserker, and squeezes again. Hard.

"Do be a good fellow, and hurry up and die, won't you old chap? I have another customer waiting,..." The mage grins, and the unlikely looking rictus grin on the red-splattered scarecrow wizard is anything but comforting,...

Minor maintain, auto-dmg:(Cold) 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Hadarai struggles with his desire to help stabilize Akahale and the need to finish this fight... with such a sligth grasp on consciousness himself, he decides to go after the seer and hopefully end this quick.

Challenge/Mark the Seer
Move to the spot NW of the seer (so I'm in both zones, I know it's difficult terrain, but it gives me the +1 defenses).
Ardent Strike vs Seer: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 14 + 1 = 35 vs AC
If hit: 1d8 + 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (3) + (4) + 8 = 15
CRIT! - booyah! (or the whatever the elven equivalent is): The damage is increased by another 1d6 for the sword: 8 + 4 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ 8 + 4 + 8 + (2) = 22

My Mark (sanction or challenge): -2 to attack and takes 8hp damage if he doesn't include me in an attack.

Hadarai storms towards the seer and delivers a savage cut, prompting a squeal from the foulspawn and a harried, "Now, now, old chap! No hard feelings! Just accept our master as your own!"

Even as he floats between life and death, with Bahamut's claws starting to close gently around his battered body, power flows through Akahale.

"Great gods bahamut." Grafire attends to his egg brothers wounds.
move east to akahale Heal: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
"Come on get up."

As Akahale has used his Second Wind already, you can only stabilise him (so he no longer makes death saves, which is good).

Grafire frantically tries to resuscitate his dragonborn brother but the little warlock is too exhausted from his wounds.

Nope. Seer attacks Hadarai with Twisted staff:

9 damage to Hadarai and he is pushed 1 square. Unconscious, I think.

The seer haphazardly batters the paladin and then jogs away, huffing and puffing, "Give up, and give yourselves to the master! Huff huff..."

Berserker escape (I realised I was using too low an Athletics score):
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
