Tomb of Horrors (4e) - Group 2, Part 2

Game Master Rev Rosey

I've been meaning to ask you about that for ages. Glad to have it sorted out.

The wraith howls as its attack is miraculously deflected from the halfling.

Tavar is up.

move up to P10 avoiding S2's reach.

Tavar moves to keep the bloodied mage in his sights and fires off another lance of faith.

attack vs will, 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33, damage = 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 radiant
the +2 power bonus goes to Lynore. Also if that kills the mage, crossed fingers, S2 takes 4 cold damage.

Tavar - you're immobilised. You can only hit S2 from your current position and I've redirected your attack at him. Also need a save from you.

Divine light slices into the wraith. The creature suffers, certainly, but does not appear vulnerable. Some potent necromantic magic is at work here.

oops...saves then, save = 1d20 ⇒ 10

Edited above. Thanks :)

Shroud on S1
Bound by Shadow 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (3) + 21 = 24 vs fort, 2d8 + 12 + 5 ⇒ (1, 3) + 12 + 5 = 21 half on miss, effect: until the end of the encounter the target takes 5 whenever an enemy including the target deals damage to me

Lynore hurls a shawl of vengeance over her chosen wraith, ensuring that no creature can harm her without also harming S1.

Thom surses the immobility of Fluffy, while ordering it to attack the Spirit Wraith.

You can give the hell hound the following special command.
Standard action: Close blast 3; targets each creature in blast;
Intelligence 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31 vs. Reflex; vs. S2
1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27 vs. Reflex; vs. Tavar
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 4) + 6 = 14 fire damage.
Fluffy Save vs immobilize 1d20 ⇒ 9

Both S2 and Tavar smoulder slightly as Fluffy barks wildly and exhales fire. The hellhound's feet remain resolutely stuck.

14 damage to Tavar
7 damage to S2

Lanthair flits about the wraith, disorienting and moving it to a more advantageous position before he strikes at it with a flurry of fists.

Tormented Spirit movement technique. I teleport myself and S4 (no attack roll). I go to Q24 and S4 goes to P24. I gain CA against it to EOMNT and also have concealment against it as long as that CA lasts, and +1 to AC to EOMNT.

Tormented Spirit 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23 vs Fort. 3d6 + 15 ⇒ (3, 1, 5) + 15 = 24 necrotic damage and on a hit 6 FOB damage on S1 as well. On a hit, S4 is also weakened to EOMNT.

If that attack is a miss, I activate my Cascading Strikes ki focus to reroll the attack 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (5) + 19 = 24

Despite his fancy footwork, Lanthair's blows pass straight through the wraith. For the most part unable to regenerate more heads to throw, the wraiths content themselves with keeping the companions well apart.

Exploding Head recharges:
S1 - 1d6=1. No.
S2 - 1d6=5. Yes.
S3 - 1d6=4. No.
S4 - 1d6=1. No.

S1 attacks Lynore

S3 attacks Barel

Keening Sword attacks (AC). On hit target is marked by Wraith to end its next turn.

Barel is again dazed, and decides his best course of action is to charge again...this time at the mage.

charge to O5 via I5, and melee basic vs B1.
(15)+20+1(charge)-2(marked by S3)=34 vs AC
Damage= (1)+13+3=17.
Free action: Mark B1, if possible to do while dazed...if not, ignore mark.

Notes:
If I can't get all the way to O5 due to terrain, then stop Barel at N5 and my reach 1 will get to the mage.
Barel: HP=42/130 Bloodied, but that is okay...I have plenty of healing, just cant do it while I am dazed. HS=16/17.

Can't mark when dazed unless the mark is the one thing you do.

Barel picks up himself and his portable patch of treacherous terrain and hurls himself at the mage. Hiding in the rubble is not enough to stop a determined dwarf and the mage only has time for a quick gurgle before he collapses.

Arishat picks her way round her standard until she's behind the wraith threatening Lanthair. As it tries to pay attention to both the adventurers, her quick feint leaves an opening for Lanthair to strike.

Move, N23-O22-P21-Q22
Commander's Strike, Lanthair vs S4, 1d20 + 19 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 19 + 2 + 3 = 34 vs AC, 1d8 + 6 + 5 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 5 + 5 = 18 damage.

"Barel, you're supposed to Mark them, not just kill them."

Arishat's compeling presence is quite enough to enable Lanthair to land a blow on S4.

"Barel, you're supposed to Mark them, not just kill them."

Barel chuckles and replies, "Excuse me, Milady. I will try to do better next time! But if you look closely, you can see my mark, right there on his forehead."

"Damn wraiths."

lance of faith at S2 and healing word on Barel.
attack vs will, 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31, damage = 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15 radiant

Barel can spend a HS and gain a bonus 3d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 5, 4) + 7 = 20HP.

Need a save v immobilised and marked from you, Tavar. Who gets the +2 to their next attack against S2?

Tavar irritably irradiates a wraith and brings succour to Barel.

Thom looks at the wraith tormenting him, and decides to send him a gift...

Fireball:
Standard Action, Area Burst 3 within 20 squares Y8
Attack: Intelligence 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34 vs. Reflex
Hit: 4d6 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 6, 4) + 6 + (3) = 29 fire damage.
Miss: Half damage.
Save for Immobilize 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Current HP 37/72; BLOODIED

Fluffy, unable to do anything here, barks in frustration at his summoner.

Intrinsic Nature: If you haven't given the hell hound any commands by the end of your turn, it makes its attack against at least one enemy, targeting as many creatures as possible. If it can't target any enemies, it moves its speed toward the nearest enemy. In addition, you take 5 fire damage.
Symbiosis: While the summoned hell hound is present, you deal 1d6 extra fire damage with close and area attacks, and each creature that hits you with melee attacks takes 1d6 fire damage.
Save vs Immobilize 1d20 ⇒ 4

save = 1d20 ⇒ 14

+2 to Barel

Lanthair attacks the wraith in front of him.

Storm's Wake 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (18) + 19 = 37 vs Reflex. 2d10 + 17 ⇒ (2, 8) + 17 = 27 damage on a hit.

Thom does his darndest to incinerate the nearest wraith, while Lanthair punches a sizeable hole into the creature he's flanking.

Exploding Head recharges:
S1 - 1d6=6. Yes.
S2 - 1d6=3. No.
S3 - 1d6=2. No.
S4 - 1d6=1. No.

Only S1 can summon the power to conjure a fresh skull, and it shifts away from Lynore before targeting Lanthair and Arishat. S4 shifts clear of the blast before driving a retributive fist towards Lanthair. S3 moves swiftly around the perimeter of the battlefield, while S2 decides to get up close and personal with Thom.

S4 moves first. It and S2 are making melee attacks on Lanthair and Thom. On hit, target is marked to the end of the wraith's next turn. S2 will take 1d6=3 fire damage from Thom if it hits.
1d20+22=36 - S2 v Thom. Hits. 5d8+11=34 psychic
34 psychic damage to Thom and he is marked by S2 to end S2's next turn. S2 is bloodied as a result of the 3 fire damage.
1d20+22=32 - S4 v Lanthair. Hits. 5d8+11=27 psychic
27 psychic to Lanthair and he is marked by S4 to end S4's next turn.

Barel should not be dazed or marked any more, since S3 didn't attack him this round, right?

Barel finds himself all alone, with no one to play with. He decides to try to remedy that situation. He moves and rather than trying a far off shot, he moves again...always in pursuit of the Wraiths.

Move action: to P10.
Move action: to S15.
That is all.
Barel is no longer bloodied...for now.

Thom holds up his hands and his bracers activate, giving him some small relief.

Bracers of Defense: Power (Daily): Immediate Interrupt. You can use this power when you are hit by a melee attack. Reduce the damage dealt to you by the attack by 10.

Current HP 13/76; BLOODIED, quite.

Quite right, Barel. Cut and paste error.

Somewhat aggrieved at the lack of playmates, Barel moves to join the party on the other side of the battlefield.

I use my Second Chance racial power and make S4 reroll the attack. It must use the new result, whatever it is. That also lets me shift to R25.

S4 screams silently as the shifty halfling ducks out of the way, forcing the wraith to try to hit him again - and this time missing.

Reroll - 1d20+22=28. Miss.

"What, this again?" Arishat looks aggrieved. "Ah, well, still within reach." She takes a swing at the nearest skull, since her feet don't seem willing to head for a further one.

Viper's Strike, targeting S4; 1d20 + 20 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 20 - 2 = 27 vs AC, 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 damage, if the target shifts before the start of my next turn it provokes an Opportunity Attack from Lanthair.
Saving Throw, 1d20 ⇒ 14
Lanthair's last attack should have done 5 more damage - Infernal Pincer damage for flanking with Arishat.
If I'm not around often for the next few days, I apologise in advance, but my father is quite poorly. If I don't respond promptly, please move on with the game.
50/91 hit points

Very best wishes to you and your family.

Arishat swings at S4, narrowly missing. She can take some satisfaction though as her feet finally come free.

Rev, I already calculated the crit in with Thoms damage, it is what the +3d10 fire damage represents. Let me know if I missed something with my crit rolls.

Thom - looks as though you did 2 more thunder damage unless I'm reading your post wrong. Every little helps.

Lanthair pummels S4 back into a more convenient position as the wraiths gather themselves for their next assault on the party.

He's flying, so difficult terrain isn't an issue. He double shifted. There are combats when a 3d map would be a huge help and this is one of them.

Barel doesn't like the idea of these guys waiting on something to happen. In a valiant effort to remove at least one from the playing field, he moves, then charges at S2 with his hammer swinging wildly.

Move action: W20.
Standard Action: Charge S2 (via Y22) ending at W24.
VS AC = (3)+20+2 = 25
Damage (as if): (8)+13+3=24.

Barel grumbles at his incompetence, and also at his growing unease at the wraiths behavior, and belatedly remembers to call out to the wraith, "I'll get you...if it takes me until dinnertime, I'll get you."

Free Action: Mark S2

Can the characters see that zone of yellow ickiness around the blue circle on the map...has anything been mentioned about it, or did I just miss it?

Barel rejoins the party and thumps his weapon on the ground beside S2 in the nature of a warning shot.

The yellow marks the influence of Arishat's battle standard. You gain extra hp if you heal within the zone.

"This way. Take them down." Arishat tries to inspire her allies to shake off the effect of the missiles by hitting one of the enemies. She tries to move herself.

Stirring Force, 1d20 + 20 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 20 - 2 = 25 vs AC S4, 2d10 + 10 ⇒ (4, 9) + 10 = 23 damage, effect: any ally within 2 can make a saving throw with a +7 bonus
Saving Throw 1d20 ⇒ 19

Arishat calls out words of encouragement and takes heart as her feet come free once more.

Lanthair can make an immediate save at +7 v immobilise and marking.

Lanthair is bloodied. Save 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Arishat's reassuring presence is enough to help Lanthair free himself. The halfling is battered, but at least he can move again.

Move to P15

Cast zealous sanction at S3,
attack vs will, 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27, damage = 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (2, 1) + 10 = 13 if hit the next ally to hit S can spend a HS.

Tavar rounds the rubble and narrowly misses S3. As he approaches the pond, he notices a slowly beating heart floating in murk near the surface. The thing pulsates with necrotic energy, but the undead disguise of the companions seems to be fooling it for now.
