I was really liking my shooting perch but you had to make me move and for that you get 2 of my best arrows.

Useing Two fanged strike,
first Arrow attack vs ac, 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29, damage = 1d12 + 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (11) + (5) + 7 = 23
second arrow attack vs ac, 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29, damage = 1d12 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

if both arrows hit it take 3 extra hp damage.

not much of an encounter power hun?


Kel grumpily fires two devastating shots into the thing that looks like Kelgan. Screaming the thing turns to its twin and similar wounds open up on the real half-orc.

Skintaker takes half damage and the original takes the other.

"Well, this fight wasn't fun at all." Ceara pouts as she returns to her normal, default form and lashes out at the last foe with shadowy tendrils.

No shrouding. Executioners Noose on ST2, targets Fort. 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22. On hit: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12 and pull it to B9. After the attack I shift to B10 setting up either 2 OAs if it goes for Kelgan or easy flanking for him if it doesn't.


Ceara drags the false Kelgan unwillingly towards her as it shares the pain of the blow with the genuine article.

The creature spins and drags its borrowed fingers down Brujo before shifting away. A seeping sense of doom creeps over the moonelf as he reaslises it has somehow inhibited his ability to heal.

Kelgan calmly walks up to his doppelganger, grabs him by the shoulder and plunges his blade into his stomach. "And I thought this might be fun."

Move to C7 and using Grappling Strike on ST2, using Furious Smash if it hits: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 212d12 + 6 ⇒ (4, 7) + 6 = 17


Wounded more than he'd like and barely standing Brujo dashes far from the reach of the thing.

Move to C15

"One last shot" he smiles and slings an arc of flame at the thing

Changing Ray on ST2 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12 vs Will; Damage 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9, and dazed until the end of next turn

Brujo - need a save from you v the no surges effect.

Neither Kelgan nor Brujo can find a way through the shapechanger's defenses. The faux half-orc eyeballs his twin and flexes identical muscles.

Perigia eases her way into the hallway, but slightly misjudges her attack. False-Kelgan laughs as it dodges the missiles.

Hobbes slowly and calmly walks over to Perigia and turns to the last enemy. He adjusts his hat and casts another spell at the skintaker. A familiar glowing green orb forms in his hand and he unleashes it on the creature.

move to D4. cast Acid Orb on ST2, +10 vs Ref, 1! Miss! (Rackin' Frazzin' Idiotic Rackin' Frazzin'!) oh, well, live by the crit, die by the crit I... often say. Someone else is going to have to the honors.

And the Orb goes wild, flying past the creature and into the wall, unraveling as it goes. By the time it hits the wall, it does little more than minor damage. Hobbes looks shocked. "Well, that was... pathetic. Sorry, guys." He says to his comrades. "I must've put too much into that one. I'll get him next time."


False-Kelgan goggles in disbelief as the attacks miss all around him.

"My apologies Master Kelgen. Clout this cretan and I can conciliate my callous cut."


Male Elf Ranger

Kel fires two arrows at ST2.

first Arrow attack vs ac, 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22, damage = 1d12 + 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (4) + (7) + 7 = 18

Ceara lashes out with her scimitar from where she stands.

Inescapable Blade on ST2. Targets AC. 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27, on hit: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7


My apologies for the delay. Was out a lot of yesterday. Youth Theatre show.

Kel's first arrow just misses, belying his words, but the second proves amply good enough to sink into the Kelgan-shape. It reels back, snarling as the arrow bloodies it, but again makes sure Kelgan suffers equally.

Twin Sympathy recharged.
Twin Sympathy. Immediate interrupt. Rechargeable.
Skintaker takes half damage and the original takes the other.
9 damage to Kelgan

Ceara's attack also hits the creature and this time, it is the only beneficiary.

Twin Sympathy didn't recharge.

Stretching out a finger, the skintaker tries to prevent Kelgan's recovery and shifts around him, leering at him - an eerie, damaged dark twin.

Free Action: Virtue of Valor on whoever bloodied the creature; they gain 3 temp HP.

Rev, could you please specify which person bloodied it? My class feature depends on it and I haven't been using it for awhile.


Of course. I beg your pardon Erik. In this case, it was Kel who gets the 3 temp hp.

Acting for Brujo. He goes total defense (+2) all defenses to start of his next turn.
1d20=16. Makes save and can use healing surges again.

Sorry dot disappered, didn't know I was up


Male Elf Ranger

i don't need the HP, can I pass it on to someone else?


Don't think so, unfortunately as it's a class feature of Bards.


Male Human Bard/Warlord/Warlock/Circus Monkey/Soda Jerk/Etc

It's my fault Kel, I haven't been pushing the feature enough lately. With all the enemies Hobbes and a few other people should have some temp HP right now. Now that I'm the only devoted healer in the party I need to be more active about it, though, since every little bit helps now in a large party.


Kelgan?


Male Half-Orc Fighter 8

Apologies. Missed that it was my turn.

Kelgan once again attempts to grab his doppleganger and stab it.

Grappling Strike, with Furious Smash if it hits: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 201d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10


Somehow hitting himself makes Kelgan's blow go awry. He strikes nothing but empty air.

Kelgan - you need to make a save v not using healing surges. Can you confirm if you're bloodied or not as well.

Almost. One more attack and I'm bloodied. 1d20 ⇒ 6


Male Human Bard/Warlord/Warlock/Circus Monkey/Soda Jerk/Etc

Erik circles the long way around to flank the strange doppleganger and then slashes ahead with his songblade, hoping to open up the creatures defenses enough to allow someone else the finishing blow.

He also uses his knowledge of arcane words of power to heal Kelgan's wounds, of which he attributed to.

Move Action: Circle around to B6

Standard Action: Guiding Strike on ST2; 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27 vs. AC for 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 damage and on a hit, ST2 takes a -2 penalty to AC until TEOMNT.

Minor Action: Majestic Word on Kelgan; Kelgan may spend a surge plus 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 extra and an additional 4 temp HP.

Uh, I can't spend a HS right now, unless Peregria somehow gets me another saving throw.

I have a power that will allow Kelgan to spend a HS instantly if he can hold on until my turn.
I also still haven't used my healing spells yet.


Rolling on behalf of Perigia who is away for a couple of days.

Backing up, Perigia sends another magic missile hurtling towards the false Kelgan. Somewhat to her relief, the attack misses, at least preventing Kelgan from taking any more damage.

Male Human Sorcerer 9

well, Kelgan, it's been nice knowing you. I hope you survive this fight. I thought about intimidate, but this thing is undead and thus immune to fear, right? Or is it? I am going to give it a try.

Hobbes moves up to the Skintaker and sweeps his arm out in a grand gesture. "Look around you, creature, we destroyed your comrades without even breaking a sweat. If you want to survive this encounter, you will SUBMIT right now!"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18


It's not undead. Intimidate is a perfectly legitimate tactic.

The skintaker bares Kelgan's teeth at Hobbes and rasps in Deep Speech. The sorcerer doesn't feel he's made any progress.

Afraid not. The creature is hostile, so any Intimidate rolls are at Will+10.

Deep Speech

Spoiler:
"I shall wear his skin, I like it. So strong."


Female - mostly. Changeling Assassin 8

Cearra replies in the same language the creature uses.

Deep Speech

Spoiler:
"His skin is not yours for the taking. I'll enjoy taking yours.


Male Human Bard/Warlord/Warlock/Circus Monkey/Soda Jerk/Etc

I'll keep the same actions minus the Majestice Word since it won't be enough to take Kelgan down and the -2 to AC will still be helpful. Next round I'll try and help Kelgan with the saving throw if he hasn't made it himself.


Male Elf Ranger

Move to C9 and cast cure light wounds.
Target regains Hp is IF they had spent a healing surge +4.

"There ya go buddy just hope it dosn't steal your health as well."


No recharge on Twin Sympathy but ...
Identity Crisis kicks in instead.

Identity Crisis: Immediate interrupt when targeted by melee or ranged attack while adjacent to Stolen Skin target. Stolen Skin target takes the damage instead.
12hp damage to Kelgan

As Erik's song blade drives home, the Skintaker shimmers slightly and his blade plunges into Kelgan, bloodying his ally. Before Kelgan has time to even staunch the worst of his wounds, Kel is at his side bringing help.

EDITED as Kel cross posted with me.

Deep Speech

Spoiler:
"Do you feel her coming for you? To rip your soul from your body and feast on your shell?

Ceara speaks, more, in the language of the creature, even as her form shimmers into her drow form, her pink hair flittering behind her. Her words seek to insert tendril of fear and pain into the creatures mind.

Shroud it. Echoing Threat, targets will. 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13. On hit: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 psychic damage and at the end of it's next turn, if it is within 2 squares of any creature, it takes 10 psychic damage.

The girl then steps into Kel's shadow and steps out of the creatures own shadow.

Shadow step to C7

HP: 55/55
Surges: 9/9
AP: 1/1
Shrouds: 1 on Skintaker.


Ceara's new form does not discompose the Skintaker as the shroud settles over it and it shifts behind Kelgan, trying once more to leech life from him.

I was bloodied, but Kel healed me enough to not be and the second attack took out my temp HP. Assuming nothing changes too much on Brujo's turn...

Kelgan coughs up a gob of blood and smiles at the skinchanger before whirling around, putting his hand around his throat and slashing deep.

Spending an AP to use Grappling Strike twice on him, using Furious Smash on the first one to hit. (If the first attack hits, the second's just a basic attack) 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 282d10 + 6 ⇒ (5, 2) + 6 = 131d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 172d10 + 6 ⇒ (1, 5) + 6 = 121d20 ⇒ 9


"Well if I'm go down..." Brujo smirks and dashes at the skintaker, leaving himself open to attack

Move to A9; Avalanche Strike 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12; Damage 3d8 + 6 ⇒ (7, 3, 1) + 6 = 17 cold; Effect: Until the start of next turn, any attacker gains
a +4 bonus to attack rolls against you.


Brujo skids over the floor, misjudging his attack. If nothing else, he has reduced the skintaker's movement options.

No recharge on Twin Sympathy

Kelgan does considerably better, ignoring the irony of apparently cutting his own throat in favour of pure destruction. The skintaker gapes horribly, but twists in his grasp, sending Kelgan's blade back into him.

Twin Sympathy recharges. Half damage from the first Grappling Strike. 6hp damage to Kelgan

As you'll probably guess, the second one didn't hit, even with Erik's helpful -2 to AC on the skintaker.

Perigia draws a deep breath and sends another missile towards the bloodstained creature in Kelgan's grip, sighing with relief as only her preferred target takes damage.

MM (Ref)
1d20+8=21. Hits
2d4+6=12

No recharge on Twin Sympathy. Skintaker takes all the damage.

And I do believe I'm bloodied again.


Edited above and on map.


Male Human Bard/Warlord/Warlock/Circus Monkey/Soda Jerk/Etc

Erik hopes for the best again as his sword channels the energy of the morning sun, but it fizzles before even leaving his blade. He then gives aid to the one warrior that he is able to.

Standard Action: Song of the New Dawn on ST2; 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 vs. REFLEX for 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (3, 4) + 5 = 12 damage and on a hit, Kelgan can make 2 savings throws against an effect and take the best result.

Minor Action: Majestic Word on Brujo; Brujo may spend a surge plus 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 extra hit points and also gains 4 temporary hit points. He may also slide one square as a free action.


In the confusion of battle, Erik's normally acute ear is mislead, but he manages to hum out the single note that brings serenity and healing to Brujo.

Brujo - if you want to take the slide, tell me where to in your next post.
