Twisted Night

Game Master FabesMinis

Map to come. Everyone may take 1 action, except Nechtan who cannot take any.

Would rather wait to see Sven's, all the same to you . . .

Of course, :D that's their for my benefit too as I have a habit of forgetting!

>>>>MAP<<<<

Sven strides towards Ynyr and Healaugh, a determined look on his face.

Shift to P27.

Darvyl mutters, "No, I think not," and dashes around to intercept Sven.

Run, granting CA -- SW SW S S SE to P27

Need to be seeing a map before making a decision. Darvyl and Sven seem to be all snuggly on the same square.

Hmm, yes. Darvyl; Sven already shifted to P27. Would you care to run somewhere else? :D

That changes Darvyl's plan rather dramatically -- I was looking at the map which appears to have Sven at Q28. Will adjust when I return from an appointment.

Sorry, yes, I didn't update it for such a tiny move; he was there and then shifted to P27. Sorry for confusion.

No worries

Darvyl grins at the two marines as he hefts his weapons. "Which one first?"

Standard: Ready a Dual Strike against the first marine to approach -- go ahead and roll for me if it happens

Ddraig charges to Q28 and executes a basic melee attack on Sven

Basic melee attack: (1d20+9+1=28, 1d8+5=6)

"Your deceit will be your undoing."

The heroes leap into action as Sven moves to engage the less martial members of the group. The marines eye Darvyl uneasily, and Ddraig makes Sven grunt in anger as he rushes to aid Healaugh and Ynyr.

You hit, Mister Dragonborn.

>>>>MAP<<<<

Ynyr and Healaugh to play.

Refusing to budge, Healaugh jams his wand into Sven's stomach. He braces himself for the inevitable counter attack and channels arcane force into the man.

"Tha's going to regret this. Tha's been warned. Back where tha camst from. REET NOW!"

Impelling Force (Fort) (1d20 6=25, 1d10 5=14). If that hits, Sven is slid 5 squares. In this case, up the dunes and next to Nechtan at P30.

Fabes

Do you mean Q30? P30 is not next to Nechtan. Ouch! That hit. But then... so does this! Unarmed attack OA on Healaugh 25 vs AC; damage = 11 damage to Healaugh

As Healaugh mutters his spell, Sven takes advantage of the momentary distraction and smashes a huge fist into Healaugh.

It hurts.

A lot.

Ynyr's turn.

Q30 it is. Map coordinates are not my strong suit :(

Spitting out teeth and blood as Sven's huge fist turns his jaw to mulch, Helaugh grunts with satisfaction as the traitor hurtles back the way he came.

Ddraig, don't forget to take 4hp for hitting Sven the Swine. Healaugh's daily is still up and running.

Ddraig, don't forget to take 4hp for hitting Sven the Swine. Healaugh's daily is still up and running.

Thanks for reminding me - it gives me a little more chance to smash the evil one ... mwaaa haaa haaa haaa!!!

Is that temp hp, Healaugh? If so, remember folks, it doesn't stack. So if you have 4 or more already it does nothing and if you have less than 4, it brings you up to 4.

Nothing temp about those hp boss, they're the real deal.

Grr. Curse you, diminutive bard.

"Now look will you? You, misunderstanding misanthrope. How could you? Leave our Healaugh alone won't you?"

I think P27 is now vacant, so shift to P27 - Magic weapon against the leader

Throwing the knife at the leader. (1d20+9=28, 1d4+4=6)

Healaugh and Ddraigh get a +1 power bonus to all damage and attack rolls until the end of Ynyr's next turn.

(sotto voce) "I bet he sings better than you anyway, hurdy-gurdy or no."

Ynyr - it's a surprise round, so one action only.

Refusing to budge, Healaugh jams his wand into Sven's stomach. He braces himself for the inevitable counter attack and channels arcane force into the man.

"Tha's going to regret this. Tha's been warned. Back where tha camst from. REET NOW!"

Impelling Force (Fort) (1d20 6=25, 1d10 5=14). If that hits, Sven is slid 5 squares. In this case, up the dunes and next to Nechtan at Q30.

One more thing about that attack. Ddraig got to to take a pop at him (basic melee) as he slid past. It's all part of the power gov.

"Grand work our Ynyr." Healaugh manages to sound approving, even with a mouthful of blood.

I rolled for pally-boy for speed. 15 vs AC. No banana.

Sorry, wasn't paying attention... No move then, just throws the dagger. The +1 bonus will only go to Healaugh

Sven grunts as the wee artificer's dagger slashes him. The marines eye Darvyl uneasily and move away, hoping to ensnare Nechtan by the looks.

From across the beach a bolt of white light hits Sven, as Greylan cries "Take that!"

Magic Missile - 9 damage to Sven. Sven is now bloodied. Then he regenerates, and now he isn't.

Sven's turn. Minor - take out battleaxe; Minor - take out other battleaxe. Standard - Twin Strike vs Nechtan 1st attack 1d20+14 = 16 vs AC miss; 2nd attack 25 vs AC hit - damage = 8. Action point. Twin Strike again. 1st attack 23 vs AC hit - damage 11; 2nd attack 25 vs AC damage = 11. Total damage to Nechtan - 30HP. Nechtan is on -17 and unconscious.

Before he can even draw blade, Nechtan is taken by surprise and Sven smashes the little man into the ground.

Ddraig's turn.

>>>>MAP<<<<

Nechtan doesn't seem to have used his second wind, which is possibly a bonus. Activating it means getting next to him to do so and then surviving long enough against Sven. He's 2hp away from hp death (bloodied value is 19) and I don't trust this lot not to coup de grace him.

Ddraig curves round (R28 to S29 to R30) and swipes at Sven with Valiant Strike:

1d20+10 v AC; 1d8+5 damage.

Rolls: 16+10=26 v AC; 5+5=10 damage.

Then, as a minor, Ddraig administers Lay on Hands to Nechtan who regains HPs (from 0) as if he'd spent a healing surge.

"Rise, friend Nechtan. Reward his duplicity with devastation."

Ddraig strikes and strikes true. Sven is incredulous as divine magic brings Nechtan back to the fight.

Savage Rebuke from Sven vs Ddraig. Misses. Sven is Bloodied. Nechtan is prone. Nechtan stands up - Move. HQ Sven - minor. Second Wind - Standard.

>>>>MAP<<<<

Darvyl's turn.

Darvyl, still smiling and laughing, circles around Sven (W, SW, SE) and launches a devastating assault from behind with his scourge.

Flanking Assault on Sven (1d20+12=32, 3d8+7+6=23) CRIT! Crit damage (1d4=4) Total damage 24+7+6+4 = 41. Aiming to kill.

EDIT: He's marked

Total damage 24+7+6+4 = 41. Aiming to kill.

Nice one, Darvyl!

"Eee, good to see tha's in killing form lad."

Bloody hell. What is it with you guys? You're rolling hot.

Sven spits out blood and laughs himself:

Illuskan

Healaugh and Ynyr are up.

The run continues ...

Illuskan

Waelish - "Reet. Reckon tha'll be wanting to hurt a bit more Ddraig."

Healaugh backs away towards the tents. moving to Q20.

Misdirected Mark (Ref) (1d20 6=25, 1d8 5=13). Manually amended to take account of Ynyr's nice bonus to A/D.

If that hits - and it better had - Sven is marked by Ddraig to the end of Healaugh's next turn.

Sven was already marked by Darvyl but hey, that was a nasty hit as well... grrr...

Please note manual amendment to A/D. 13 hp damage due to Ynyr's bonus. Mark goes to Ddraig.

Sven turns to look at Healaugh. It is a look of horror, surprise and respect mingled together in some remarkable way.

He looks at the wounds now dripping blood all over his body and barks a laugh. He keels over, his eyes glazed. Quite dead.

Good work folks. 13 was exactly what was needed. Ynyr's turn.

Woot!

Never one to crow, Healaugh nonetheless grins like a loon as Sven falls.

"Now isn't this the fine way to win a fight? Do you think Daelynn will think us good? See how you like this fine people eh?"

Ynyr throws his dagger centered on T32 Spike Wire attacks both the remaining men.

Attack vs Fort. Man 1, Man 3, Damage. (1d20+8=20, 1d20+8=12, 1d4+4=7)

Somewhat drunk with the vigour of apparent victory after so many false end to this battle, the attack is maybe not as effective as it might be.

Each enemy hit takes 7 damage and all attacks against anyone who took damage gain a +2 bonus to the damage roll until the end of Ynyr's next turn.

I don't think Ynyr has any encounter powers left now except Repair object. Anybody got any objects that need urgent repair?

You hit No.1.

The marines look extremely uncertain now, especially as Sven is lying face down in the sand. They make a break for it!

Both double run to a boat. Map to follow. Nechtan got in an OA which missed. Greylan hits both with Scorching Burst for 10 damage.

"Oh no, you don't!" cries Greylan.

>>>>MAP<<<<

Ddraig is up again.

Healaugh is supposed to be at Q20. He was planning to throw a tent at Sven as his next move.

Healaugh is supposed to be at Q20. He was planning to throw a tent at Sven as his next move.

Now changed. Sorry. And... throwing a tent? Good luck with that, holbytla.

Not as a minor action. Was planning to use a standard and then an action point, but it's all moot now anyway.

Well... ok. I just can't over the image of Healaugh throwing a tent in one go as if the tent were completely solid and starched. Anyway, I have a strange mind.

More as an entanglement tha sees. Folds falling round battleaxes like.

As I haven't got my Player's Handbook here at work, I don't know if I'm allowed to do this; but if not, I'm sure I'll soon find out ...

Ddraig runs from his current position to V24, and then charges to W19, before executing a basic melee attack:

1d20+9 v AC; 1d8+5 damage

Rolls: 2+9 = 11!

I haven't bothered rolling for damage!!!

Really ... a tent?

One of the marines parries Ddraig's attack, as he tries to flip the boat.

>>>>MAP<<<<

Darvyl's turn.

Darvyl rushes the marines.

Double-run, looping around to Y19 (I think; flanking #3)

Fabes:

Pat

Darvyl runs to aid Ddraig and cut off the Marines' escape. Healaugh - you're up.

Healaugh's head swings round as he tries to keep up with events. Tripping over a rope and distracted by his loosened teeth, his usual talent for harmful invective deserts him.

"Grrr." he mutters feebly.
Vicious Mockery (Will) v Marine 3 (1d20 6=7, 1d6 5=8)

Luck was due to change.

Healaugh does indeed find himself drawn up short.

Ynyr's turn. Ddraig - what HP are you on?

"NOw do you think we'd let you get to wherever you will that's away from here so very easily?"

As Ynyr realises what they are going to attempt, the moves to S22, retrieves a tanglefoot bag from his pack and hurls it towards man #3

Tanglefoot bag (vs ref). (1d20+5=15)

Probably not. But if it does hit, #3 is immobilised until the end of Ynyr's next turn and slowed the turn thereafter.
