The Tomb of Horros Part 1 (4e) - Group 2

Game Master Rev Rosey

Barel hits the ground and the resulting seismic ripple batters all but Z4, who seems oblivious to the attack. Possibly it is distracted by the searing radiant light that tears a hole in its charnal body.

Staggering out of the blinding light, Z4 flails at Arishat.

Rending Claw (AC). On hit target is slowed to end next turn.
1d20+18=23. Z4 v Arishat. Miss.

Z2 advances and exudes the foul vapours of Moil over the clustered comrades.

Breath of Moil (Fort). Close blast 3, living creatures. On hit target is slowed (se). If already slowed, target is immobilised (se)
Targets Tavar, Thom, Kidlat, Barel, Arishat
1d20+16=32 - Z2 v Tavar. Hits. Slowed.
1d20+16=19 - Z2 v Thom. Hits. Slowed.
1d20+16=35 - Z2 v Kidlat. Hits. Slowed.
1d20+16=34 - Z2 v Barel. Hits. Slowed.
1d20+16=29 - Z2 v Arishat. Hits. Slowed.
1d10+3=9
9 cold/necro damage to Tavar, Thom, Kidlat, Barel and Arishat
only 4 cold damage to Barel, but since its is a double type damage, he takes the full whack.
All slowed (se)
Zombie 2 heals 4

Notes on terrain:

Teleportation circle sheds dim light for two squares.

Black pillars are blocking terrain. A pillar draws on the cold and necrotic energy of Moil; whenever a creature starts its turn adjacent to a pillar, it takes 10 cold and necrotic damage.

The floor slopes and is difficult terrain. The rubble piles provide cover and require a DC15 Athletics check to climb.

The open archway leads to a 50 foot flight of stairs descending to a bridge. A creature that falls through the archway can make a saving throw to safely land on the stairs. On a failed saving throw, the creature plummets to the bog surrounding Moil. With unpleasant consquences.

Lynore - invisible to all to end next turn as long as within 2 squares of Z1
Kidlat - slowed (se)
Wight 1 - blinded while in Thom's zone; will take 10 radiant at start of turn
Wight 2 - in sludge and about to start the long tramp around to return to battle duties.

Barel looks at Z4 with contempt when it ignores his mark to attack Arishat and says "What, am I not scary enough to get your attention?" With that he swings his hammer at Z4.

immediate interrupt: Warden's fury--attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28 versus fort.
if hit: damage=1d10 + 11 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 11 + 5 = 24 and he grants combat advantage to me and my allies UEOMNT.

edit:@ Rev

@Barel

Z4 pays the price of inattention and turns baleful, dead eyes on Barel, clearly intending to make him a target from now on.

Lynore shimmers and then reappears behind one of the walking dead. She attempts to slip her blade through his guard.

Flanking with Arishat grants +4 damage. Is that included?

Adding extra damage, 38 if the attack hit. Thanks :)

Lynore's attack bounces off the zombie by the narrowest of margins.

Paging Kidlat.

I see from a different thread that Kidlat is ill, so I'm delaying him until just before the zombies go again.

Distant squelching reminds the group that wight 2 is returning slowly to the fray. Taking courage perhaps from the imminent return of its comrade, wight 1 crackles again with blackfire. Recklessly, it launches a blinded attack on Barel, but cannot penetrate the warden's defenses.

Blackfire recharge W1: 1d6=5. Yes. Not going to waste on an attack at -5 though. It's not that stupid.

Ice Claw (AC)
1d20+15=23. W1 v Barel. Miss.

Save vs Slow, 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

The wight blithely ignores Thom's efforts to brighten up its unlife.

Lance of Faith on Z2.

attack vs reflex, 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28, damage = 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17 radiant and the next ally to attack gets a +2.

Save = 1d20 ⇒ 17

Divine light sears the zombie and it can't avoid the devastation wrought by the Raven Queen's servant.

Arishat smiles grimly as the beam of light strikes the zombie. Thanks, Tavar. As it flounders, she taps the ground near it's feet to attract it's attention, and calls out, "Lynore, strike now!"

Commander's Strike, Lynore against Z2. Basic melee, +13 vs AC, +2 CA (flanking), +1 (Lend Might), +2 (I'm assuming Lance of Faith applies); Attack 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36 vs AC
Damage; basic is 1d8+5 +3 (subtle longsword) +4 (isolated) +4 (Int modifier) +4 (Infernal Pincer)' Damage 1d8 + 20 ⇒ (5) + 20 = 25
No reason to move, and no-one's horribly hurt. I really hope Z2 hits me, Vengeance is Mine gives Arishat and probably Lynore a basic melee attack each.
Saving throw against Slow, 1d20 ⇒ 12

Edit: Welcome back, REv. Hope Oxford was Oxford-y for you.

With Arishat's advice ringing in her ears, Lynore effortlessly bloodies the zombie drooling in front of her.

Barel calls for the attention of the wight and the zombie at his side before turning his full attention to the wight right in front of him to swing a powerful blow with his hammer.

Free action: Mark W1 and Z4

effect: wight takes -6 penalty to melee attack rolls UEMNT.

Barel - you forgot your start of turn save v slow. I made it for you for expediency :) 1d20=12.

Barel keeps the wight and Z4 occupied, but his attack narrowly misses the necrotically infused pair.

Kidlat - you back in circulation yet?

I guess not. I'll post a basic move for him asap, but have live gamers in right now.

Marking Z2 as his, Kidlat then proceeds to try demolishing W1 before its friend can return to the fray. Thunder fills the air, but to no avail.

Lynore stabs into the zombie, and prepares herself for any counter attack that may occur.

Boards have been horribly slow (or simply not loading at all). Will keep you all updated as fast as I can

Lynore stabs, reducing the zombie still further, noting as she does so that the fallen wight will be back shortly.

Marked by Barel, W1 turns its baleful attention to the warden, dazing the dwarf with a soul-rending pulse of chill, necrotic energy.

Recharge on Blackfire: 1d6=5. Yes

Blackfire (Fort). On hit target takes 10 ongoing cold/necro and is dazed. First failed save, 10 ongoing and stunned. Second failed save, 10 ongoing and unconscious, third failed save, dead.

I know this is extremely late, but the boards weren't loading at all for me yesterday. I'd really like to use Vengeance is Mine as an immediate reaction to being hit by Z2. I make a basic melee attack, and grant a move and basic melee attack to one ally within 5.

If you'll allow it:
Arishat, basic melee; attack 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (5) + 19 = 24 vs AC; damage 1d10 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
Lynore gets the move/attack; BMA, attack 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23, damage 1d8 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

"Hit me, will you? Well, take some of that back!" [/angry tiefling]

I'll absolutely allow it. The boards were appalling all day yesterday. Neither attack hits, but Lynore can move if she wants to.

I will stay where I am at.

Healing word on Thom; Spend a HS & regain an extra 3d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 1, 1) + 2 = 9 HP.

Lance of Faith on Z2.

Apologies for delays but I couldn't access the boards at all yesterday evening.

Arishat - the whole area is difficult terrain, do you still want to shift?

I'll stay where I am, I think. Reach means they're nearly all in melee range.

Arishat's tone is quite enough to enable Barel to brush aside the punishing attack of the wight.

I took a guess that you'd prefer to remove the really nasty ongoing effect rather than the fairly insignificant slow, Barel.

She follows up with a vicious prod at the wight, forcing the undead thing to doubt its own capabilities, before stamping impatiently and freeing her own feet.

Kidlat moves slowly towards the zombies and unleashes lightning from his blade, the sound cracking around the ancient tower. As the sound dies away, you see that Z3 is oozing ichor. He marks Z4 for future attention, defying the horror to attack his friends.

The zombies cannot regain control of the atmosphere around them and resort to brute force. It doesn't work.

Notes on terrain:

Teleportation circle sheds dim light for two squares.

Black pillars are blocking terrain. A pillar draws on the cold and necrotic energy of Moil; whenever a creature starts its turn adjacent to a pillar, it takes 10 cold and necrotic damage.

The floor slopes and is difficult terrain. The rubble piles provide cover and require a DC15 Athletics check to climb.

The open archway leads to a 50 foot flight of stairs descending to a bridge. A creature that falls through the archway can make a saving throw to safely land on the stairs. On a failed saving throw, the creature plummets to the bog surrounding Moil. With unpleasant consquences.

Lynore slips to the side and attempts to draw the Zombie through a hail of blows.

Lynore - I can only get you to H3 (difficult terrain).

Lynore moves through the shadows and sends a spectral noose looping towards Z3. The creature is wary and avoids the attack.

W2 starts up the stairs to rejoin the party, while W1 heals more of its wounds and lashes out at Barel.

Blackfire recharge: W1 - 1d6=2. No.

Thom decides to whittle down the wounded zombie some more.

You launch a silvery bolt of force at an enemy.

Flesh falls from the ancient Moilean as Thom systematically wittles it down. It looks now as if one solid blow would finish Z3 for good.

Tavar???

Lance of Faith on Z4.
attack vs reflex, 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22, damage = 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 radiant and the next ally to attack gets a +2.

Tavar directs another attack at Z4, but the hideous atmosphere of Moil engulfs his divine power before it ever reaches the target.

"We want to finish these before the other returns. They're vulnerable. Keep pounding it!" Arishat commands Barel into action.

Minor: Adaptive Stratagem, Barel gets +3 to Saving throws and +4 to damage teomnt

With Arishat's voice ringing in his ears, Barel finally bloodies W1. The warlord's eyes brighten ...

Go for it Arishat. That took it to exactly 1 over bloodied.

As the wight reels, Arishat smirks gleefully. "Let's finish it." She lashes out, hoping to set the example.

Action Point!
