Can I tell how deep the "sewage water" is?

Gart will delay until after the hatchlings. He doesn't have anything that can reach 'em.

Can I tell how deep the "sewage water" is?

Not very - ankle- to knee-deep.

Arakan.

cool. I won't need to jump over it.

Arakan seems a little more at ease seeing at how easy these things seem to be picked off. He walks up to the space between Safier and Jareen, and begins with a snide comment, "Yeah, great, you'll fit right in. Both you and the old man here don't seem to have a clue when to not show off your spellcasting to the world. That'll get us all killed in the first large crowd." He whistles short and sharp through his teeth, and when the closest bug turns to look, he fires at its face.

Move, to Y14
Free, load crossbow
Standard, Sly Flourish on KH7 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 vs AC, damage 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

"I've gotten you killed how many times so far Arakan? Cheer up, when I show off you get to kill things!"

Arakan retorts, "But I don't like to kill things. I don't know if you noticed, I try to talk our way out of fights when I get the chance. I'm not one of these muscle-headed knuckle draggers that just want to hit things with big sticks. " He inclines his head in Furio's direction.

I was going to have him say 'no offense Furio', but it's Arakan, he does mean to offend. I was then going to have him say "offense intended." but he just made the point that he avoids violence.

"Really? We have much to learn about each other" Jareen chuckles.

Yeah, Jareen is *really* starting to enjoy winding Arakan up, I need to make sure to save his life a few times or I'm going to end up having to appologize or something... ;)

"Should have given me a dagger then." Safier mutters under her breath.

Arakan shoots one of the kruthik hatchlings with his crossbow and it tips over, legs kicking feebly.

KH7 down. Jareen.

Map updated.

MA: Move to X12
Standard Action: Shock Sphere You hurl a crackling orb of lightning that explodes at a point you designate. (Arcane, implement, lightning). Standard Action. Area burst 2, centered on O10 Target: Each creature in burst. Atack: +8 vs Reflex. 2d6+5 lightning damage.

I figure that hits the southern most three.

Atk KH4: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Atk KH5: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Atk KH6: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
DMG: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (3, 2) + 5 = 10

"You may want to avert your eyes, if this goes to plan it may be a bright flash!"

Jareen casts his spell and two more kruthiks fall. But yet more boil from the heaps of rotting offal and spill down towards the adventurers, mandibles gnashing as they leap or swim across the foul pools.

A load more kruthik hatchlings come out of the heaps and move down. They all move so as to avoid AoOs.
KH1 and KH4 attack Furio.
KH9 and KH10 attack Th'Kal.
KH13 attacks Safier.
KH14 and KH16 attack Jareen.

KH1 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 v AC, damage 4
KH1 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 v AC, damage 4
KH4 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 v AC, damage 4

Round 2

Still anoyed with Arakan, she doesn't see the Kruthik until it sticks into her. Grunting in pain, she recoils back from the creature, sending another bolt outward to strike at them.

Step to Z13, Lightning Strike on KH13 (10 damage if hit), arc into KH10 (7 damage if the attack hits).

Lightning Strike vs. Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Damnit! Should have waited.....

Shield: You throw up your hand, and a shield of arcane energy springs into existence, protecting you against imminent attacks. (Arcane, Utility, Immediate Interrupt) Personal. Trigger: You are hit by an attack. Effect: You gain a +4 power bonus to AC and Reflex until the end of your next turn.

I think we skipped Gart :(

Yeah, my action was an interrupt, but we are definitely missing Gart before Safier.

I concur on the missing Gart.

I took 8 damage; "YOU little S&*&S!!!"

Gart charges up to KH13 and attacks with his carrikal using inevitable wave (specifically allows this skill in conjunction with charge)

1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 1 = 27
1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

With Gart's action, can I redirect my attack to KH10 primary, and KH12 secondary then? If it goes down that is.

That's fine.

Safier electrocutes two more kruthiks after Gart squashes another with his carrikal.

Furio.

Map updated.

Crushing surge.

KH1.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

damage
2d6 + 5 ⇒ (3, 5) + 5 = 13

gain 5 temp hp if I hit!!!!

and crit is max damage; I do 17 hp.

And all the rest.

Furio crunches another kruthik, the victory powering his bloodlust even as the other inflicts some flesh wounds.

You still take 2 damage from the aura of the other one. Th'Kal.

Map updated.

unless i am mistaken, the map doesn't reflect Gart or Safier's movement or KH13's death.

Thought I had done that. Corected now.

Map updated.

Th'Kal.

Easily dodging the kruthiks hatchlings, Th'Kal continues to protect his clutchmate's back. Slowly circling to guard Furio's flank.
Unfortunately, 'Kal's attempts to contain his rage and resist charging into the enemy must really weigh on his barbarian mind as his latest swing goes terribly off-target.

Standard Action: Pressing Strike on KH9
Pressing Strike: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 vs AC. EDIT: I think that was Arakane's roll! :)
If it hits, Damage: 1d12 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6.
Move Action: Shift to W11

Map updated.

Arakan.

Arakan resorts to his favorite tactic, and throws power into his voice, turning to chase away the filthy bugs trying to come up around him and Jareen. Seeing as it's no longer a big secret, he drops his ruse, and doesn't hide his true power.

Shout of Triumph, close blast 3 (X15-Z17)
Attack on KH14 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 vs Fort
Attack on KH16 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 vs Fort
Damage 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 thunder and push them 1 sq
Effect: Slide Jareen to Z14

Phew, good thing you knocked out those 1's for me Th'Kal, saved me my usual heartache.

Phew, good thing you knocked out those 1's for me Th'Kal, saved me my usual heartache.

LOL - always glad to help :)

Arakan blasts two of the kruthiks away.

Jareen is away, someone please take his turn.

Map updated.

Posting for Jareen
Figure it's a toss up between using Magic Missile for the sure kill on one target or using his at-will AoE spell - he's got a nice shot at two targets if he uses his area spell, so...

Based on past experience, Jareen most likely doesn't bother to hide his casting... lol :)

Standard Action: cast Winged Horde on square T9. Area burst 1 within 10. Target: Each enemy in the burst. Attack: +8 vs. Will. Hit: 1d6 psychic damage, and the target cannot take opportunity actions until the end of your next turn.
Attack vs KH11: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21 vs WILL,
Attack vs KH4: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24 vs WILL,
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
I figure he can stay where he's at - he's out of danger for the most part and if more kruthiks show up he's protecting flanks

Jareen's spell takes down another two kruthik young. But the more they kill, the more still come.

Kruthiks 17, 18, 20 and 22 attack Furio, kruthiks 9, 21 and 23 attack Th'Kal, kruthik 24 attacks Gart and kruthiks 15 and 19 attack Arakan.

KH9 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18 v AC, damage 4
KH15 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 v AC, damage 4
KH17 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 = 17 v AC, damage 4
KH18 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 1 = 21 v AC, damage 4
KH19 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 = 10 v AC, damage 4
KH20 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 = 14 v AC, damage 4
KH21 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 1 = 16 v AC, damage 4
KH22 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 = 19 v AC, damage 4
KH23 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 1 = 26 v AC, damage 4
KH24 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 1 = 26 v AC, damage 4

Gart.

12 more hp down.
At 28 plus 5 temp.

Great cleave would be real snaz right about now.

Something 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
Something else 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

12 more hp down.

At 28 plus 5 temp.

You lose the temporary hp first. That's quite important as they don't stack, so you can't get any more until you lose the ones you have. So you are actually at 33hp with no temporary hp.

Great cleave would be real snaz right about now.

There is a power somewhere with that name, but I'm not sure where you can get it.

"I could teach you, but I'd have to charge."

Minor: Inspiring word on Furio, he can spend surge with +1d6 to the value
Minor: Preservation Shield: All allies within 5 squares (all of us) and I gain Temporary HP = to my remaining surges (9)
Standard: Wolf Pack Tactics: Before this attack, Safier can shift 1 square as a free action.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 vs AC of K24
1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

....something....

wolf pack tactics

or maybe this

Gart crunches another of the nasty little critters. But at the lip of the cavern at the far side, four adult kruthiks scuttle into view and scramble down to defend their young.

Note the temporary hit points Gart has gifted you all with. Also, Safier gets her shift 1 if she wants it.

Round 3

Hmm, hit 6 and Th'Kal, or hit 3, 6 and Th'Kal or 3. Hmm.

Safier ponders unleashing a powerful wind into the melee in front of her, destroying everything. She decides it's best to keep these allies for now. Two monsters against one, things don't appear that they would go well for her. Summonging motes of starlight to descend upon some of the creatures, she hopes to end them quickly.

Free shift from Gart to Z12, Standard to use Blazing Starfall at U12.

Attack vs KH21, Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Attack vs KH22, Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Attack vs KH23, Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Damage, Radiant: 1d4 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Now that is how you screw up an AoE attack. Even the damage sucked.

There is a brief flicker like a candle flame. Then... nothing.

Furio.

"Hmm, hit 6 and Th'Kal, or hit 3, 6 and Th'Kal or 3. Hmm."

Th'Kal might have been understanding... might have been, lol. But with you rolling like me, it's not a big deal :)

Th'Kal is hit twice by the little kruthics.
I was at 35hp with 2 temp...
Now I'm at: 29/41 and 9 temp (thanks to Gart!) -- I'm alright, save the healing for later. Particularly with the big-mommas coming in to the fight.
