+1 all defenses to the end of the encounter. It's a good daily :)

[Xabulba]

fixed it

[Flint Blackblade]

Flint is bloodied.
Note to self: Second Wind, Razorclaw Shifting,maybe use AP, +1 all DEF, 8 temp HP

[Xabulba]

Mountain gets an OA on slicer 2.

Ferdinand is up.

[Ferdinand Salatic]

Sorry, kind of forgot I was up.

Ferdinand stabs his tratnyr at the automaton as runes begin to form on Mountain's armor.

Using Resistive Formula on Mountain (+1 AC, ally can end this as minor action to get HS+6 Temp HP for itself and an ally within 5 squares), and using Repulsion Strike on S1 (-3 to attack rolls until end of my next turn if I hit) 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 222d8 + 8 ⇒ (4, 2) + 8 = 14

Also, Arcana, what can I tell about the slicers? 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

[Xabulba]

Your Resitive Formula won't stack with Malick's Bastion of Defence so Mountain would still only receive a +1 to AC. Mountain could still use it to get HS+6 Temp HP.

Ferdinand's strike is deflected by the swirling blades of the construct.

Arcana: If the slicer crits it dazes itself, and it gets a bounus attack when first bloodied.

Rennik is up.

[Rennik Ilzander]

Rennik still has a bone to pick with archer 2...

Rennik assails and enfeebles the mind of the warforged archer and manages to remain invisible the whole time.

Vanishing Act on archer 2. 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20 vs Will. 3d6 + 9 ⇒ (5, 2, 3) + 9 = 19 psychic damage on a hit, and I become invisible. It also grants combat advantage to the next ally that attacks it before the end of my next turn.

I find this interesting... My Magic of the Mists feat means that I don't become visible upon using an arcane power, but it would end at the end of my turn, but Vanishing act makes me invisible until the start of my next turn, so technically I never became visible on this turn. Maybe that's only interesting to me...

[Xabulba]

I think it was intended that way, otherwise in combat you would look like a wack-a-mole.

Rennik's mental assualt has no apperant effect on the archer.

Archer 1 targets Mountain and archer 2 targets Flint.

Mountain, arrow 1 attack vs AC, 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22 misses.
arrow 2 attack vs AC, 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (13) + 19 = 32 hit doing 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 damage.

Flint, arrow 1 attack vs AC, 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25 thanks to Malick the arrow misses
arrow 2 attack vs AC, 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (5) + 19 = 24 misses

Mountain is up, take 5hp damge form the aura.

[Mountain]

Opportunity Attack:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26vs. AC
1d8 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16 damage

Mountain growls and slams at the slicer with his mace and shield as little slivers of metal and stone flake off of his body from the creature's whirling blades.

Iron Bulwark vs adjacent enemy
1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18 vs. AC
2d8 + 8 ⇒ (3, 1) + 8 = 12 Damage on hit, AC becomes 31 (32 with Malick's buff) until next turn, plus Combat Challenge on Slaughterstone if it's not already.

[Xabulba]

Mountains Oa hits with asoild thunk but his second attack is blocked by the metal monster.

Mountains strike that did hit sends it into a bloodied state.

That's right, it doesn't. It does extra damage when it hits an enemy who has previously not been hit instead. Malick has a challenge seeking halberd, which was a very dumb choice for him. Not that Malick rolls crits particularly often, but he hits things before anyone else even less. I don't know what I was thinking of.

[Typhus Aurelius]

Typhus will re-attack the same metal monster:

Eldritch Blast: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24 vs. Reflex; 1d10 + 8 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 8 + (4, 2) = 20 damage. Range 10, target 1 creature

[Malick]

Staying put.
Viper's Strike (AC) v Slicer 2. If it shifts before the end of Malick's next turn, Mountain gets a swipe at it.
Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34
Damage: 1d10 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20 - additional +2 to bloodied opponents from guantlets

"Since when were mobile mincing machines valid weaponry?"

Malick hacks ferociously at the slicer and winces as it chops him up some more in the process.

[Xabulba]

Typhus' eldritch blast strikes home scorching the slicer’s amour badly.

Malick keep on hammering at the slicer’s weak spot widening it further.

The elf sends more psychic daggers at Mountain, attack vs Fort. 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22, misses again.

Ferdinand is up and take 5HP damage.

[Ferdinand Salatic]

Ferdinand stabs at the slicer and backs away, and any blows on it seem to be guided towards it's weak spots.

Using Aggravating Force(+2 to next ally's attack on it if this attack hits), then shifting to J9 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 341d8 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Spoiler:

Ultimately it's up to you how you want to run your game and pacing does vary from time to time due to real life. For my own games, I tend to post if someone doesn't show up within the day regardless - that way the game keeps moving along for those that are posting regularly. It's not the ideal solution, but it is a solution.

If you have any means of contacting players off board, and it's a regular problem, I'd get in touch with them and ask if they need a break or need you to DMPC them for a time. Post via Discussion and Game threads as well. Give them a reasonable limit to respond. If they don't, decide how long you are prepared to run the characters and then find a way to sideline them.

As far as this game goes, I'm really enjoying it. There's some wild mystery going on and Malick really wants to get to the bottom of it. Partly because if Ruing's been fooling him all these years he's not sure if he's going to kiss her for being clever or kill her for trying to kill him. Maybe both.

[Rennik Ilzander]

Spoiler:

That Rev Rosey is a wise one.

Things certainly do come up from time to time, and needing to post for a player to move things along will be inevitable. If a player is consistently not available to post, then it may be worth talking to that player.

I'm certainly enjoying this PBP, and I'm just really starting to wrap my ahead around how Rennik's quirky little brain works.

I think you're doing fine and NPCing us is fine. I'm not worried about that.

"Seven stars and tentacles of ice, I hate this metal beasts!" Typhus lays his curse on #1 and uses Eldritch Blast: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21 vs. Reflex; 1d10 + 8 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 8 + (6, 1) = 16 damage. Range 10, target 1 creature.

Typhus curses the slices but the eldritch blast is deflected by the spinning blades.
The slicers flashing blades also deflect Malick's halberd. Malick’s brief pick me up speech puts a little more vim in Flint’s step.

Rennik decides that that cultist has been operating from a position of safety for far too long, and sends an illusionary assailant to pester her.

Phantasmal Assailant on the cultist. 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32 vs Will. 2d10 + 9 ⇒ (3, 2) + 9 = 14 psychic damage on a hit. Effect (on a hit or a miss): The target takes ongoing 5 psychic damage and grants combat advantage to all your allies (save ends both).

If the attack is a hit, I activate the power of my Orb of Mental Dominion: Free Action. Use this power when an attack with this orb succeeds against the target’s Will defense. When the target makes a saving throw against an effect from that attack, the target must roll twice and take the lower result.
