I know she can teleport away from me, but I really want to keep the mark on her, and to do that I have to engage her, and I am out of ranged weapons :(

Posting in advance of the warforged's initiative, since it's not likely to make a difference.

Rennik sends illusory assailants to attack and confound the slicer.

Illusory Ambush vs Slicer. 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (9) + 18 = 27 vs Will. 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11 psychic damage on a hit, and it takes -2 to its attack rolls until the end of my next turn and it grants CA to the next ally that attacks it.

I move to X9.


HP: 38/87
Bloodied 43.

Typhus smiles at ir'Ruing, "Ice is nothing compared to the breath of Caiphon. Can you not feel it breathing down your neck? You shall see the Wrath of Caiphon shortly and woe shall be your vision."

Use Dire Radiance: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17 vs. Fort; 1d6 + 10 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 10 + (6, 4) = 21 radiant damage. If it moves closer to me on its next turn, it takes 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14 damage. Range 10, target 1 creature. (RADIANT and FEAR)

If I deal damage, I get an immediate Saving throw to end an ongoing condition: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19 and if it works, move 6 squares closer to ir'Ruing.

If not, save at the end of my round: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6


Ragna charges Ruing and as expected she vanishes beneath the strike and reappears out of danger.

WF2 attempts to pummel Ferdinand with its oversized fists.
Fist 1, attack vs ac, 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (20) + 21 = 41, damage 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (5, 2) + 6 = 13
Fist 2, attack vs ac, 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (17) + 21 = 38, damage 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (7, 6) + 6 = 19

WF2 save vs immobilized = 1d20 ⇒ 12

Rennik’s illusions attack and confound the slicer. The sound of grinding gears becomes a steady squeal.

Typhus’ spell falls short of its target eliciting a sneer from Ruing, “I see your boasting is like your sanity, out of touch with reality.”
Does the extra effects still happen on a miss?

Immediate Reaction: Divine Challenge 8 radiant dmg

Uriel blasts the warforged in divine retribution, bathing it in radiant light.

Malick are you able to get me a shift over to WF2? I'm going to hit him with a debilitating strike to daze him, and then run away, trying to slow down WF2 some. If not no worries.


No, I think they need to hit to have the effect.

Typhus smiles serenely. "Caiphon steps closer and you cannot hear the thunder for the beating of your own heart. Turn back, Ruing, and repent; it will not help, but it might make your doom easier to face."

Uriel nods matter-of-factly at Ferdinand's words, keeping his eye on the warforged standing before him. "I've gotta trick or two up me sleeve...", says Uriel with only the slightest hint of doubt in his voice.


As Malick rushes to the aid of his fallen comrade the slicer rushes forward literary on its last legs and catches Malick, Ferdinand and Uriel in its whirling bladestorm.
Malick, attack vs ac, 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16. Damage = 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (6, 2) + 6 = 14
Ferdinand, attack vs ac, 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16. Damage = 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (8, 1) + 6 = 15
Uriel, attack vs ac, 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19. Damage = 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (4, 2) + 6 = 12
Apparently the damage to the slicer prevents it from rolling above a 5.
The slicers jerkey and sputtering attack is easly avoided by all.

Uriel heals 3 hp from regen, loses 5 from cold damage, and then 5 from the Slicer (unless it's no longer doing the aura), reducing him to -1 hp. Silver Phoenix Rage allows me to spend a HS as an immediate interrupt when I'm first reduced to 0 hp or less, so I'll do that as well, bringing me up to 22 hp total.

Free Action: Shift to W-15

In a desperate attempt to keep the durable warforged at bay, Uriel hurls himself once again at the creature. Trusting to luck, Dol Arrah, and his booze-enhanced reflexes and strength, he delivers a (hopefully) crippling blow using every last ounce of his will, before dashing back away from retalitation once again.

"Apparently her worship loves me more than I thought...", says Uriel, slightly surprised by the results of his attack.

Flint circles around behind the Slicer and tries to finish it off by jamming his dagger into what looks like critical working gears that are visible between its armor plating.

Uriel’s drunken rage fill strike nearly cleaves WF2 in half. Severely crippled a hint of fear is seen in WF2’s glowing red eyes. WF2 now more focused on defense is able to deflect Uriel’s follow up blow.

With the speed and grace of his feline legacy Flint flanks the slicer but fumbles his dagger strike and causes no damage to the slicer.

Ferdinand stands up shakily and enters into a defensive stance. "How about we hurry up and turn these things into scrap already?"

Stand up, use Second Wind. I'll just use my successful saving throw against the ongoing damage from my last post, if you don't mind.


Ferdinand stands and regains his strength.

“Will you stop pestering me Zealot”, Ruing says as she sends an icy blast at Ragna.

Does a save end either SE or immobilized? I do not have any ranged attacks that could reach any of the monsters, I will just try and use abilities to make saves if possible. If not I will just fume at her and give her hate eyes.

Do you still have Divine Mettle? That could grant you a save for a minor action, that way you could move in on Ruing.

Who are you attacking?


Ruing. I'll keep attacking her until she's dead and buried and desecrated properly.


Typhus will have to run to flank Ruing.

effects of running:

Speed + 2: Move up to your speed + 2. For example,
if your speed is normally 6, you can move up to 8
squares when you run.
–5 Penalty to Attack Rolls: You have a –5 penalty
to attack rolls until the start of your next turn.
Grant Combat Advantage: As soon as you begin
running, you grant combat advantage to all enemies
until the start of your next turn.
Provoke Opportunity Attacks: If you leave a
square adjacent to an enemy, that enemy can make
an opportunity attack against you.
I moved Typhus his regular movement on the map, if you want Typhus to run I'll change it.

Typhus' dire radiance fails to illuminate Ruing with its deadly light.
Typhus breaks free of his icy prision and moves to flank Ruing.

Move to S11, taking OA from slicer if needs be.

"Just die already. I have more important things to chop than you."


Malick heroically thrusts his halberd deep into the slicer causing its gears to seize and lock ending the mechanical beast's movements forever.

Link to discussion thread.


Ferdinanad's throw is off missing WF2 by a few feet.


Realizing her imminent defeat Ruing rages hatefully at the group, “You have thwarted my plan to seize the throne and become the Queen of Khorvaire, plans laid down a hundred years ago. I will be Queen, my master has told me so, and prophecy dictates I will be. This was but the first of many plan of my master’s, plans that he had lain down long before any of you were born. He is patient, he is cunning and now he knows you as enemies. I do hope you enjoy your hero’s reception when you return to Breland, I will”.
“Sine, Cosine with me”, Ruing commands her Warforged, “We are leaving to pursue other options.”
Ruing shouts out words of power and a blue shield of magic spreads across the battle field. The magic shield envelops the warforged and Ruing knocking everyone else prone. Ruing and the warforged quickly fade from view.

Each of you recive 1214xp for the raid on the control wagon and the showdown with Ruing.
And another 1000xp for finishing the first adventure.

After the battle you can still hear sounds of battle coming from the direction of the wagons.

You can salvage another acid sprayer from the Big Bettle and a couple hundred Gp woth of alcemical reagents from the slicer.
Laying smoking on the ground were ruing last stood is the chared rod that Ruing was useing. The rod even though the haft is blackend and cracked is still sturdy and the large purple kyber crystal firmly attached.
