Oh, yes. Sorry! I thought there was something odd. Doh.

BLOCK 3

Rowan
Thuggish Cultists

Rowan, It, Thugs, no?

Indeed. Another priest's shield on Red 1: Roll 1d20+9+2 (seram flanking): 12+12+2 for total of 26 to hit doing 1d10+5 damage if it does: 5+5 for total of 10 damage, use minor for healing word on self allowing him to spend a healing surge and regain and additional 1d6+3hp:3+3 for +6hp on top of spent healing surge guess thats it for this round plus Rowan's AC goes up by +1 but not seram's as he isn't adjacent (I checked to make sure)

Rowan cuts loose on his nearest foe taking advantage of Seram flanking said foe.

It swings It's enormous hammer once more.

Cleave on R4 (1d20+14+2=21, 1d8+10=17) Probably a miss, but if it hits it's 5hp to R3 as well. No move.

Both of you hit your foes.

Rowan and It, on seperate parts of the battlefield, start the counterattack in earnest.

TC4 misses Akahale. OA from It vs TC4 hits for 12 damage. TC3 misses It. TC 1 moves - OA from Seram misses. OA from Rowan also misses. TC1 attacks Rowan and misses. TC 2 attacks Rowan and misses. Bloody hell.

The battlefield is turning into a muddy bog as the combatants fumble and parry.

Akahale's turn.

>>>>MAP<<<<

Akahale's turn.

>>>>MAP<<<<

"So nice of you to move and open up a path for me to reach your superior over there!" Rowan comments nodding Seram towards Blue 1.

Pride cometh before a fall, Father...

Stepping backwards (and risking an attack from the madman as he does so), Akahale allows his curse to fall on Red 3.

Moving to D15 and taking the OA. Red 4 is now equidistant - if he can be cursed, he will be so adorned.

Black energy snakes from this rod ...
Eldritch Blast on Red 4 (1d20 11=21, 1d10 7=16, 1d8=5)
... possibly hitting Red 3. Bet it doesn't. The damage is too good for a hit :D

Akahale dodges a clumsy blow before unleashing black doom on the cultist, who expires noisily and lands with a great splosh in the mud.

TC 4 is dead. Well done.

Nodding with satisfaction, Akahale comments to Manny "The lesson in respect commences."

Darkspiral aura is 1.

"Ah ha, Nice work, Bahamut has blessed us this day let us not waste it."

Grafire will attempt to move to H16 and attack thug 3. Viper strike on thug 3.
Attack -1d20+13=28
Damage - 1d10+5=9
If target shifts before the end of my next turn IT will be able to take a OA on thug 3.

MC1 moves - OA from Seram misses. OA from Rowan hits. Dagon's Fang misses Rowan. MC2 moves, casts Storm of the Ocean Lord - crits Manny, misses It, Grafire, Akahale. [b]21 cold damage to Manny, and he is immobilised until the end of the Mystic Cultist's next turn.

As Rowan and Seram keep half the force occupied down a side-street, the others feel the chill of the Dagon's icy magic, as sleet and hail pelt them. Only Manny is caught unawares and is chilled to the bone.

>>>>MAP<<<<

Block 2 to go: Seram and Manny.

"B-B-Bloody Hail,... S-S-Somebody C-C-Close the window,... I F-F-Feel a D-D-Draft!" Manny stutters and shivers under the after-effect of the hailstorm.

OK, so Immobilized, means I can't move, can't cast, can I take a healing surge? I am down to 30HP, not critical yet by any means.

Immobilized just means you can't move out of your space. You can still cast. Or Second Wind.

Oh,... OH! Well then in that case! ;)

Teeth still chattering hard, Manny slowly lowers his staff, and another blast of frigid air bellows forth,...

Ray of Frost on Spellcaster #2
1d20+11=12, 1d6+8=13

,... But he is shivering so hard that the blast misses it's intended target, and creates a patch of ice on the wall next to the blue robed caster instead.

Even with the mud Serams movements are quick he moves forward swinging his blade at cultist.

Pressing Strike on 2, shifting to P6 (power allows 2 square shift), 1d20+14=16. Yup that's not hitting

Better do this now as I might not be online when it does come up: Rowan shifts to N-7 and employs Priest's shield on Red 1: Roll 1d20+12:3+12 for total of 15 in the very unlikely event that actually hits it does 1d10+5 damage or 3+5 for total of 8 damage

As Seram charges past Rowan takes a step back and continues to strike at his original adversary hoping to take him down before Seram gets into too much trouble... okay hopefully before it gets even worse as the others have yet to appear indicating trouble behind them.

Guys. It's difficult terrain.. Each square costs two squares of movement, therefore you cannot shift unless (like Seram) you have a power that can shift you 2 squares (thus in difficult terrain moving one square).

Manny misses. Seram (moved to O6 instead) misses. Rowan misses and suffers an OA, which hits. 12 damage to Rowan.

The melee in the side street turns into a chaotic jumble of weapons and Rowan feels blood inside his clothing...

It's turn.

Which also applies to them since they had Rowan in a flanking maneuver so I guess this a special ability of theirs then?

It brings It's hammer down in a crushing blow against the cultist.

Crushing Blow (1d20+14=22, 2d8+16=30)

I have been making OAs for you against them to save time. I apologise if I have shifted any of them in error. I have tried to keep tabs on it. They have actually suffered some OAs from you guys for exactly this. If anything seems 'fishy' to you, then I assure it is not because I cheat (which I abhor) but because I am forgetful (which is part of who I am in all areas of my life).

Cultist 3 is now bloodied.

No worries Fabes. The only reason I haven't messed up is because Manny is currently immobilized! ;)

"W-w-will Y-y-you H-h-hit H-h-him P-p-please!?!" Manny chatters from between clacking teeth at his implacable manservant. He is too busy shivering to notice that IT has already done so.

Akahale teleported to H14 when Cultist 4 dropped.

Um... Akahale... that's the wrong class feature. You don't have that power. That's the fey pact boon. Shadow Step is the "move more than 3 squares, and you gain concealment" class feature.

Call me a jellybrain. Amending. Grafire actually pointed it out ages ago and I forgot to change it.

I think I lost track of who is up?

Horrible feeling it might be Akahale. Apologies if so. Ah, no. Thuggish cultists to do their thing first.

TC1 hits Rowan (29 vs AC) - 18 damage. TC2 hits Rowan (24 vs AC) - 13 damage. Total damage to Rowan - 31 HP TC3 misses IT.

The thugs concentrate on the highly effective priest of the Platinum Dragon, laying into him viciously with their flails. It s luckier, however.

Map is unchanged. Akahale's turn.

Eldritch Blast v Red 3 (Ref) (1d20 9=24, 1d10 7=14, 1d8=7)

Squelching through the mud, Akahale squints and sends familiar dark doom towards Red 3.

Safe in the knowledge that the rain is adding to his own chances of concealing himself, he looks around to see what is happening at the other end of the grove.

Moved to H14. Concealment.

The cultist screams in pain as Akahale's attack hits home.

Grafire snarls at his doomed opponent. Hefts his mighty ax and lays into Thug 3.
Viper Strike on thug 3 - 1d20+13=17

Just for reference Rowan down to 8hp

The blows almost fell the cleric but he barely anages to keep on his feet even in the awful weather.

Grafire misses. MC1 misses Rowan. MC 2 hits Grafire 28 vs Fort with Dagon's Fang 12 damage to Grafire

Grafire misses as he feels the bite of Dagon's dark power attack his mind.

Seram and Manny.

>>>>MAP<<<<

In a rush right now. Post to come later tonight

"Hey! You! Leave the dragonkin alone! And for the last time,... STay away from my manservant!!!" MAnny shrieks at the cultist closing in on IT and Grafire as he unleashes another blast of fresh, cool arctic air.

Another Ray of Frost, vs Red Cult 3, (att is vs FORT)
1d20+11=17, 1d6+8=11

I am going to chase down the caster, and blast him! Just how, I do not know,...

Invisiblecastle is down for me, would you mind rolling the attack for me Fabes?

Pressing Strike on 2, shifting to P5. If it hits pushing him to N5 if possible.

Rowan calls upon his faith as he heals himself before bestowing a healing word on Seram as he tries to recover his balance in this foul weather.

Employs his holy symbol's daily power as a minor action allowing any encounter or daily powers used during this turn to heal an additional 1d6hp then uses standard action to employ his daily power of cure serious wounds that acts as if Rowan spent 2 healing surges so he regains 16x2 or 32hp+3 from healer's lore and the extra 1d6 rolls a 2 for a total of 37 recovered hp putting him on 45 and finally turns his move into another minor action so he can use a healing word to allow Seram to spend a healing surge and regain an additional 1d6+3hp or 5+3 for +8hp on top of his normal healing surge value

Use standard action to employ his daily power of cure serious wounds that acts as if Rowan spent 2 healing surges so he regains 16x2 or 32hp+3 from healer's lore for a total of 35 recovered hp putting him on 43 or 42hp and the healing word allows Seram to spend a healing surge and regain an additional 1d6+3hp or 5+3 for +8hp on top of his normal healing surge value

Rowan:

Rowan should actually be doing 2d6 + whatever with his Healing Words. The number rises at level 6.

Yikes! Thanks for that, rolled another 1d6 for a total of an extra 3hp Seram recovers!

Invisiblecastle is back

Pressing Strike, 1d20+12=21; Damage 2d4+11=16

Remember, you cannot shift in difficult terrain. So you will suffer an OA, Seram.

OA on Seram misses. Manny misses. Seram hits! Mystic Cultist uses Ring of Terror on Seram as an immediate interrupt. Ring of Terror misses.

Rowan does his healing thing. Map tomorrow. Sorry IT.

Busy this weekend (ONE more dance show!) MAy not have time to post till Mon.

MAndrake,... sneezes.

(That may not sound like much, but with his prodigious beak, it has the potential to be a gust of wind all on it's own!) ;P
