Lavender's newly ancient fists clench as the deva tries, and fails to break free of the phane's attack. Tavar hurls divine light at the nearest wraith, but The Raven Queen is not in a benevolent mood and the wraith ducks easily aside.

The phane rises in the air and sends another destructive, aging ray towards Theren, wizening and debilitating the avenger, before retreating behind the monastery walls.

Wizening Ray (Fort) v Father Theren (1d20+29=45, 2d6+9-5=11). 11hp damage to Theren. Stunned (se). Aftereffect - dazed and weakened (se both). Resist 5 damage taken into account with the roll.

ALL - +2 AC and resist 5 (everything) to end encounter.

The attack was against reflex, would that make a differance. :)


Unfortunately not. AC and Ref are the same for these guys and both are high.

You may want to note that the wraiths, unlike the phane and titan, are undead :)


Lam?


Lam summons his inner strength for the battle ahead.

Spend a minor action to use a second wind, then I'd like to kick on virtue which lets me spend another healing surge to get 47 temp hp

Virtuous Strike Vs. AC (1d20+29=45)

2d12+13=35

On a hit, VS gives me a bonus to save rolls = +2

Save (1d20+2=12)

Is that damage roll before or after the halved for weakened effect? It's a hit.


Before, sorry


Calling on the strength of his deity, Lam takes a moment to restore himself and then swings hard into the insubstantial form before him. The wraith cannot avoid the blow and Lam draws on his own inner virtue to cast off the debilitating effects of the earlier attack.

The titan advances on the bridge, gloating at Theren's helpless state, and swings his greataxe. It is as well for the avenger that Tavar's prayers were answered. The titan rages impotently as he just misses the slight eleven form.

Double attack (AC) v Theren (1d20+30=42, 2d8+10=19, 1d20+30=43, 2d8+10=23)

Sigh. Typo city. Theren has an eleven form. How nice for him. I hope his twelve form is equally useful ...


Elf Avenger/Zealous Assassin/Harbringer of Doom 23

Theren stands limply as the giant swings it's axe at him, but shortly after he finishes, Theren begins to stand tall, gripping his sword tightly.

Failed me saving throw, but using Bulwark of Defiance to ignore the fact that I'm stunned until the end of my next turn.


Theren's mind overcomes his worst disability for a short time.

You'll still be dazed and weakened as Bulwark only affects one effect, but you will be able to act.

Shift to ii9. Total Defense.


Genryu - just to say that the AC total defense bonus won't stack with Tavar's bonus. The rest of it will be the usual +2, of course.

The warden eases himself sideways and awaits developments impassively.

"I hate undead." Regaining his strength, "Lavander! Shake it off!"


Minor: Shake it off power (make save w/ +3 bonus) 1d20+3=18
Stand: Stirring Force vs W1 AC 1d20+28=30, 2d8+14=24; Lavander makes a save w/ +6 power bonus


Lurean casts aside the seeping weakness, threatening to overwhelm him, but can't land a blow of the wraith. Eerily silent, they move to flank Genryu, making the old warden seem small and vulnerable as they tower over him. Their blades sweep down, easily overcoming his attempts to duck aside.

Dread Blade (ref) v Genryu. On hit, target is weakened. (1d20+30=46, 2d10+9=19)
Dread Blade (ref) v Genryu. On hit, target is weakened. (1d20+30=38, 2d10+9=22)

Minor action; healing word on Genryu, can spend an healing surge + 35Hp
Standard action; Lance of Faith attack vs reflex on W2, Attack = 39, damage = 25


Tavar's attack is true. The Raven Queen's power sluices through the undead monstrosity, doing more than the usual damage. (vulnerable 15 to radiant).

The creature stabs viciously at the cleric in response, landing a hefty blow.
OA on Tavar (1d20+28=35, 2d10+9=20). 15hp damage to Tavar (attack is v Ref). W2 got an OA as you used a ranged power while adjacent.

Lavender begins to shake off the effects, but still feels the crippling age.

Save vs stun (1d20=10)


Lavender pulls himself back to life and can only watch as the phane flys back over the monastery walls and ages Lurean before his horrified gaze.

Wizening Touch (Fort) v Lurean. On hit, target is stunned (se). Aftereffect - dazed/weakened (se) (1d20+29=37, 2d6+9-5=12). 12hp damage to Lurean. Stunned (se). Aftereffect - dazed and weakened (se)

I forgot to add some extra benifitts, Genryu gets an extra +5 to all defenses until the end of my next turn and he also heals an extra 5hp, total of 40hp (forgot to add in magic item bonus). If anyone has a chance I'm ok if you want to shift me out of combat, most of my best powers are ranged.


Edited the init list to include that Tavar. Thanks for the catch. As you've probably all spotted by now, this encounter is somewhat tougher.

Apologies for the delay. Hope things are OK with you Lam.

Calling on his dwarven ancestry, Lam holds firm, strking at W2. The blow does little obvious damage, but the wraith is marked as Lam's especial property.

Ardent Strike v W2 (1d20+29=42, 2d12+6=10). On hit (it was), W2 is marked by Lam's Divine Sanction to the end of his next turn. If it fails to attack him, it will take 17hp radiant. The perils of ignoring a paladin.

The titan too, holds its ground, happy just to block the way off the bridge and swipes twice more at Theren. The elf is made of more substantial stuff than might have been thought and easily fends off the great blows.

Theren stares up at the giant. "Erathis has judged you, and you have been found wanting. Now accept your... punishment..." He begins to falter, and the weight of untold ages comes crashing back down upon him.

I hate save ends. Anyway, used Oath of Enmity on it.


Theren hasn't done well with save ends effects so far. At least nobody's trying to possess him this time.

The titan laughs hugely, taunting the stricken elf with his abominable shroud of trapped souls.

"You will be nothing more than a trinket for my shroud before the end of the hour," it booms happily.

Thw word around the old goliath erupts marking the unnatuarl things as his enemies.

Nature's Wrath on W1 and W2

Maul in hand he swings it at w2

Howling Strike on w2 1d20+26=40; Damage 4d6+3d6+26=56


The warden erupts majestically, bloodying W2 and marking both the undead as his creatures to destroy. At last the tide of battle may be starting to turn.

Lurean shakes off the effects but is still feeling the taint. Save: 1d20=20
The second time I have ever rolled a twenty on those boards and it had to be a save.....


Shaking himself free and able to act once more, Lurean watches the wraithes, satisfyingly aware that in the case of W2 it will take damage regardless of who it attacks among his companions.

W1 has no difficulty at all in making a choice. Taking full advantage of its flanking colleague, it rakes once more at Genryu.

And rolls a crit. 24hp necrotic (after resist 5) + 3d6=9 extra for flanking (33 total) and Genryu is weakened (se)

Less fortunate in its choices, W2 tries to hit the source of the biting radiant damage and just hits the paladin.
1d20+28=37. 2d10+9=29 nexrotic, adjusted to 24 to Lam. Lam is weakened (se)

The warden's vengeance follows swiftly ...
What do you do to it Genryu?

W2 floats away from its increasingly dangerous foes.

Weakened from the attack Genryuu summons nature to empower him

Almost absent-mindedly, Genryu chastises the wraith for ignoring him.

Warden's Fury (Fort) v W2 (1d20+26=39, 4d6+41=56). Hits. Halved due to Genryu being weakened and halved again because the wraith is insubstantial, but still pretty dashed mighty. Warden's Fury is an immediate interrupt when a marked target doesn't include you in an attack.

Ah, OK. I'm still juggling the huge assortment of powers you all have at your disposal. I shall restore W2's hit points.

"The Raven Queen demands your final death abominations."

Move to EE15, use turn undead (also effects devils) area effect will include all enemies.
Attack vs will = 36
Radiant Damage = 45

Want to make sure I hit so I use my ‘Memory of a Thousand Lifetimes’
Total Attack vs will = 41
Radiant Damage = 45

All enemies I hit are immobilized, I can also shift each enemy 8 squares; the physically solid ones I push to the chasm trying to push them in. Where does the group want the others?


Tavar, you'll need to roll another attack and tell me which roll you are applied to which foe. The way area attacks work is that you roll an attack for each enemy and one set of damage which applies to all that you hit.

You will only affect the wraiths as neither the phane nor the death titan are undead or devils. You've definitively hit one of the wraiths for 45 radiant. Who would you like to be the lucky beneficiary? I've updated the map with your move.

oops, forgot you have to roll for each hit.

First attack roll is for W1,
Second attack on W2 = 38


Tavar's prayer obliterates W2. As divine power washes over the undead, an unearthly screams breaks from the dissolving lips, bringing terrible mental agony on enemies near enough to take the full brunt of the sound.

The remaining wraith is flung across the chasm, a bloodied wreck of its former, gloating self. Unable to support itself, it plummets 80 feet. And is in deep, deep trouble.

Death Shriek (close burst 3 on enemies, v Will). On hit 4d6+9 psychic damage and dazed (se). Miss: half damage, no daze. v Genryu, Lavender, Lam, Lurean (1d20+27=38, 1d20+27=39, 1d20+27=34, 1d20+27=32)

Hits Genryu, Lavender and Lam. Death Shriek damage (4d6+9=27) - 22 psychic damage each. 11 psychic to Lurean (resist 5 taken into account). Genryu, Lam and Lavender are all dazed (se)

Unable to do much to help in his entirely-unaccustomed aged state, Lavender flings a handful of weak force missiles at the Phane.

MM vs Phane Ref (1d20+23=32, 4d4+12=20) 10 on hit, failed save


Lavender's force balls are feeble indeed do nothing at all. The phane, rejoicing in its power, sends the weight of ages into Tavar as yet another companion shrivels before your gaze.

Lam summons his inner strength to keep himself up.

[ooc]Second wind, 47hp regained. Puts him at 56

Lam draws on his inner resources and throws off some of his worse injuries.

Lam needs to make two saves - one for the weakened, one for the dazed. I rolled for you and did no better. Sorry...

Save v dazed (1d20=8)

The titan swipes unavailingly at Theren once more with both axes and moves away from the chasm.

"Feel free to join me," he booms enticingly.

"Gladly."

No longer stunned! Quick question: How high of an Athletics check would it take to jump over enough of the ravine to sucessfully charge the giant?


Font of Life vs Daze 1d20=11

Ummm, can't see the map. Rev could you update the map please?


Theren - It would be a horizontal jump. Roll an athletics check and divide by 10 (not rounded). The result is the number of squares you can clear without falling. If you fail, you'll likely end up prone at the bottom of an 80 foot chasm and will take damage (4d10). You need to jump 4 squares. If you have a two square running start, you divide the athletics check by 5. On the other hand, you could just go over the bridge :)

Genryu - the map is eating its own grid again. I will be redoing it, but it seems to be accessible for me. Can you try it again?


The sorcerous aging makes little difference to Theren as he contempuously breaks free of the stunning effects. He meditatively sizes up the distance between himself and the titan.

Genryu shrugs off the impact of earlier attacks and looks around for fresh foes to conquer.

Are you readying an action Genryu? It's fine if you are, but you'll need to tell me what the trigger is in case you're offline when it occurs.


I meant delaying


Got that. Edited.
