The Last Breaths of Ashenport

Game Master FabesMinis

"Release the Mage you unsightly beasty."
Warlord's Strike - 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 2 = 22 oops I forgot to add my standard bonus of +13 had my lead the attack bonus +3 and a flank bonus +2
Should be a 35.

Damage - 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (2, 3) + 5 = 10

Until the end of your next turn, all of your allies gain a +4 bonus to damage rolls against the target.

Remeber to add a +3 to all attacks until the end of the encounter...

Muhahaha....eat sand crab thingy!!

Fabes with a hit would Akahale get the +3 to damage bonus? :D

Oh, that would be sweet. I think he's after Grafire in the init order as well.

I plumb fergot about the +3 to all attacks, not that it would have helped me with that very Lame-@$$ old-man escape roll! Manny obviously couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag! ;P

I'll allow Grafire's turn to influence Akahale's as he goes before the warlock. I'll roll for Seram later.

Seram Zak grins in a feral manner.

"That's more like it!" he growls, as he brings his blade to bear.

1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 302d4 + 13 ⇒ (4, 4) + 13 = 21

I think Seram should only be doing +10 to damage, unless, I have missed something...

Rowan is heartened by his comrades' combined assault on the demonic beast and fires a beam of holy light at it.

Lance of Faith
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 151d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
On a hit, IT gets a +2 bonus to the next attack roll

Unfortunately, a miss.

Initiative
Everyone is at +3 to attacks (for encounter) and +4 to damage (until end of Grafire's next turn) against the Wrath of Dagon.

Wrath of Dagon (marked by IT, grabbing Manny)
Grafire
Seram

The last map I can find is 21-Dec. Is that current?

Yes, sorry! Should have re-linked.

IT continues to methodically swing IT's craghammer.

Melee basic. Maintain mark. Rain of Steel still active.

1d20 + 14 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 14 + 3 = 241d8 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 4 = 19

Rain of Steel damage = 12.

IT continues to smash at the shell of the old man's assailant, the surf whipping at his steel feet.

Manny's turn.

The elderly mage wriggles and jiggles, stubbing his toe against the abomination's shell-covered leg. "OW! You overgrown entree! I'll turn you into an amphibian!" He shouts angrily.

"Don't you know what happens when you mess with a mage? Here, let me show you the LIGHT!" He crows as a brilliant, multi-colored burst of rainbow light erupts blindingly from his staff,...

Encounter Power, Color Spray, Vs Will, IF hit, radiant dmg + target is dazed

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 291d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

"Congratulations, Mage Mandrake. Please endeavour to escape," calls Akahale from the shelter of the rocks.

That is a hit, Manny. I'll roll an escape check for you. Acrobatics vs Ref.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Manny fails to escape. Tidal recharge roll - 5. No recharge. Wrath of Dagon - Minor action sustain grab.

>>>>MAP<<<<

Manny fires off a rainbow arc that dazzles the monstrosity so much that it can do nothing but continue to clutch him.

"Argggg." The thunder of frustration echo's off of the waves and hillside as Grafire still tries to conqure the beast of the sea.

Wolf Pack Tactics - If target shifts before the start of my next turn, it provokes an opportunity attack from the ally of my choice.(IT)

1d20 + 13 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 13 + 2 + 3 = 38
Damage
1d10 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 4 = 16

"IT if thing thing move give it a blast OK."

Sadly this ends the damage bonus. But the +3 to attack is still in effect until the end of encounter.

Since Seram's offline at the moment, I'll post Akahale now.

Eldritch Blast (Ref)
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
Most likely a miss, but just in case it isn't, 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 plus 1d8 ⇒ 3
Move two squares east to gain concealment.

Shuffling among the rocks, Akahale tries to hurl another blast of energy at the Wrath.

"Mage Mandrake is surely proving most indigestible, crustacean."

Sadly this ends the damage bonus. But the +3 to attack is still in effect until the end of encounter.

Shouldn't there be extra crit damage?

Yes, Grafire should do max damage and then additional damage from his magic axe. Grafire you should be doing 2d8 extra on a crit, not 1d8.

Oh sweet didnt even notice thanks.

"Muhaha, you like that didn't you Mr. Monster of the Sea."

2d8 ⇒ (2, 7) = 9

The creature makes a horrific unearthly squeal as Grafire's axe bites deep. Blue blood oozes from the wound.

Seram tries to slice into the giant horror but his blade turns aside.

A-hammering we go

1d20 + 14 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 14 + 3 = 271d10 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

IT's attack is turned aside, and Manny tries to escape.8+5[/dice]

Escape roll vs Ref.
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Rowan fires another beam of holy light.

Lnce of Faith
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 261d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Manny still grabbed. Rowan hits. Wrath takes -2 to attacks until start of its next turn. Grafire gets a +2 to hit the Wrath.

Tidal recharge
1d6 ⇒ 3

The Wrath tries to drag Manny into the sea once more.

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22 vs Manny's Fort. Sorry, that should be 20 thanks to IT's mark.

Manny is hit and is now able to be moved. IT gets a basic attack against the Wrath

1d20 + 14 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 14 + 3 = 311d10 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

"RAssin'-Frassin' Jumbo Shrimp! That makes NO sense whatsoever, complete oxymoron, like MIlitary Intelligence,... Put me down or I swear I'll gurgle yer frassin' Gurgle!"

The Wrath makes a leap into the sea.
Grafire and Seram - you both get OAs

It smashes with greater fevour as his master is slowly squeezed...

Time to smash something!!

Seram swings his heavy blade. Hoping to level the mega-prawn

OA 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27; Damage 2d4 + 13 ⇒ (1, 3) + 13 = 17

Seram's blade slices thin air as the beast leaps to the sea.

Grafire's OA.

OA - 1d20 + 13 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 13 + 3 = 18
Damage - 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Grafire is similarly surprised by the sudden mobility of their enemy.

As I think on it, IT should also get an OA, I believe. The basic melee attack was not an OA. I'll go ahead and roll it, and wait for adjudication. If IT hits, it stops the thing's move.

1d20 + 14 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 14 + 3 + 1 = 261d10 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

1d6 ⇒ 3

You only get one immediate interrupt per enemy turn, I think. I will check.

You only get one immediate interrupt per enemy turn, I think. I will check.

Ah, you're probably right. I didn't think of that limit. It's moot anyway, as IT missed.

Athletics check to jump (it can make high and long jumps from a standing start

1d20 + 21 ⇒ (20) + 21 = 41

The Wrath has jumped 4 squares west into the sea with Manny. You will have to swim out there, should you wish to rescue him.

With horrible purpose and legs with coiled muscles, the servant of Dagon leaps away from the heroes, with the prize of the old wizard in its claws. The creature has not dived beneath the surface yet, but you know that it will, the better to drown your elderly friend.

"Mage Mandrake is not equipped for a maritime existence. This must cease."

Akahale heads up the beach and sends a blast of dark power towards the wandering shrimpthing.

Twilight of the Soul (Will)
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 5) + 7 = 16 plus 10 ongoing necrotic (-2 to save v ongoing)
1d8 ⇒ 6

CRIT! Akahale, I love you. 19 from the attack plus 10 ongoing, 8 from the curse for total 27, plus...
2d10 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9 - crit damage from vicious rod for a grand total of 36.

"Awright! This whole Manny-Handling thing has gone on WAY to,... <GLUG>"

Um,... Help?!? ;P

Need a moment to process my options here... Hmm

Fabes

"Oh for the mercy of Bahamut." Grumbles Grafire as he finds him self running into the water after the mage. With out even thinking about it Grafire attempts to stay on the heals of the Wrath.

I take it the water is difficult terane? so hopefully a double move would get me with in reach. At which time I would use a action point.

Vipers Strike
1d20 + 13 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 13 + 3 = 25 +1 if target is bloodied.
Damage 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
On hit - If target shifts before the start of my next turn, it provokes an opportunity attack from the ally of my choice. At this point it would Akahale unless Seram mkes it out to the Wrath.

Here are the rules for swimming:

SWIM
Make an Athletics check to swim or to tread water. Different conditions make swimming harder. See the Endurance skill for information on swimming or treading water for an hour or more.

Swim or Tread Water: Part of a move action.
DC: See the table.

Success: You swim at one-half your speed, or you stay afloat and tread water.

Fail by 4 or Less: Stay where you are and lose the rest of your move action. You can try again as part of a move action.

Fail by 5 or More: Sink 1 square and risk suffocation by drowning (details are in Chapter 9 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide).

Uses Movement: Count the number of squares you swim as part of your move.

Swim Speed: While swimming, creatures that have a swim speed (such as sahuagin) use that speed and do not make Athletics checks to swim.

Water Athletics DC
Calm 10
Rough 15
Stormy 20

2 Athletics checks please, Grafire.

With his axe in his mouth Grafire attepts what most dragon borns consider crazy... Swimming.

"Geez not in a million years and yuck seawater between my scales...just do it. This is for the mage."
Grafire mulls over his dicided action.

"Bahamut don't fail me now."

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

"Remember the rockpools of our hatchling days! You have swum before." calls Akahale encouragingly from the beach.

Seram splashes into the water and toward the Wrath

Athletics 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

Coming up on the giant prawn the barbarian tries to slice it's claw free of the mage

Pressing Strike 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33; Damage 2d4 + 13 ⇒ (3, 3) + 13 = 19 and push the Wrath 1 square back, CRIT!!! Damage 21+2d4 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6=28

*Edit: Atletics 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

"Outta the way mage, unless you wanna die!" Seram screams as he cleaves into the prawn again

Rampage 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15; Damage 2d4 + 13 ⇒ (4, 1) + 13 = 18

As the sea is rough, you sink 1 square on your first move. As a second move, you swim up to the surface and a bit further along and you still end up in melee with the Wrath!

Grafire plunges into the sea and comes up gasping for air, as he pushes his bulk through the rough seas to attack the demonic creature. Unfortunately his exertions take the bite out of his axe swing, and he misses.

As the creature wrestles with Manny, sinister energy strikes it, emanating from the other dragonborn.

Please make another Athletics check, Seram.

So did that use a action point?

Yes, swimming is a move action as outlined above, and success means you move up to half your speed. So, you needed two move actions to get to the Wrath, especially as on your first one, you sank! :D
