Thia is the closest to the enemy so she gets Prime Shot for a +1

Standard: Twin Strike at +13 +1PS
Move: Move east to the wall

Immediate Reaction to the first Double Slam attack, Thia uses Yield Ground and shifts away. Kaddim is 4 squares away, if you shift 5, then he'll be closer and you won't get Prime Shot (though he doesn't have a ranged attack and doesn't have line of sight). Thia got 11hp back since the second DS didn't happen.

Thia's turn:
Standard: Twin Strike
TS #1 25 vs Ac hits for 10+1(hq) hp of damage
TS #2 19 vs Ac miss

Move: Thia moves to the east wall.



Sonya's turn...

Sonya's Turn...
shucks, could have used a delay by Thia so I would have gotten flanking and healed her, but shifting away to not get hit by the second attack is good.

Move: 4 Sq NW and then 1 Sq N
Standard: Charge V so that I end up in the square just S of her (think I'll need the +1 to hit) Basic attack +14 to hit 1d12+6
Need to know if I hit and gain + 2 more AC (due to my armor) before I take my minor action and possibly use my Action Point. Turn not over quite yet...

Move Action:

Going to have to take you back a bit. When Vyrellis attacks Thia I will use an immediate interrupt:

Transposing Lunge
You thrust at your enemy, a flash engulfs it, and it suddenly appears elsewhere.
Encounter Arcane, Teleportation, Weapon
Standard Action Melee weapon
Target: One creature
Attack: Intelligence vs. AC
Hit: 2[W] + Intelligence modifier damage, and you teleport the target into a space adjacent to you.
Aegis of Shielding: When you use your aegis of shielding immediate interrupt, you can use this power against the target as part of the interrupt, even if the target is beyond your reach.

Oh yeah I forgot the body was marked by Kaddim as well so if she does get the first DS then it should be less damage and she takes damage.

Stu, I figured that 11 HP is almost a surge for me so it would be better to be able to shift away from her without provoking and mitigating that 11HP than the +2 I could give you with the flank.

Kaddim doesn't have line of sight or line of effect. I don't believe that power will work without them...

Still Sonya's turn...

Can I still reduce damage?

yeah! A hit! That means the power of my armor kicks in and until the end of my next turn I'm + 2 more to AC vs. V (only). Stacking with Candelos' bonus, that makes Sonya AC 28.

Since my AC is improved for one turn, I'll use my AP on offense instead of 2nd Wind.
Action Point: Standard Action: BoD +13 vs. AC for 3d12+6

Aegis of Shielding

If your marked target makes an attack that doesn't include you as a target, it takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls. IIf that attack hits and the marked target is within 10 squares of you, you can use an immediate interrrupt to reduce the damage dealt by that attack to any one creature by an amount equal to 5+ConMod.

I believe this is a gray area...
Can this ability be used if the monster is on the other side of a closed door?
Although it doesn't apply in this case, but what if the swordmage isn't aware of the attack?

The flavor text of the ability does state:
You create an arcane link between you and an enemy, allowing you to blunt its attacks against your allies.

My 2 cents...
For attack powers that also use the aegis I think you need LOS and LOE.
For the aegis itself I think you need LOE

Sonya uses an Action Point and uses BoD:
BoD 29 vs Ac hits for 30hp of damage (Vyrellis is now bloodied)
The only ally within 5 of Sonya is Kaddim, Candelos is 6 away...

I guess this is a similar instance to the aegis. Will need to post on the rules board...

Kaddim's turn...
At the start of Kaddim's turn he is attacked by the Razor Storm 24 vs Ac miss

Currently Kaddim's turn...

I don't think the discussion on the rules board will alter the actions taken place. At most, Thia will get 8hp back if Kaddim is able to reduce damage without LoE/LoS.

Yep and the body will take the same amount of damage from Kaddim's earlier power.

...it may be my brain being damaged from being sick, but I thought I dreamed that when I first got sick it was Kaddim's turn. Several days and about 20 episodes of BtVS and two books later, is it still Kaddim's turn?

Yes, I think Ross is waiting for the mark/LoE ruling...

I'm tempted to just say it's required inside the pyramid since it won't affect anyone elses campaign. I really don't think it's a big issue and shouldn't come up very often.

...yep, don't stall the game awaiting a ruling. Make a ruling, any ruling, and keep the game going. If after a subsequent discussion, it is determined that for some reason that specific situation will be ruled differently in the future, then so be it. That's why there are referees, to make the on the spot calls.

I did...

Sonya's power was not able to give any allies temp HP since she doesn't have LoS or LoE to an ally within 5 squares.

Kaddim was not able to reduce the damage Vyrellis did due to lack of LoS and LoE.

Candelo's turn...
At the start of Candelos' turn he is attacked by the Razor Storm 26 vs Ac hits for 13hp of damage. Candelos is knocked prone. Candelos is currently at 40/72hp with 13/14 surges.

Candelos stands
He'll charge to the space west of Sonja and take a basic attack.
minor action will be to lay-on-hands to Sonya.

Candelos hears the orb, "Good hit! Stay on her, you can do it."

Note:
Candelos is unable to take the minor action because a charge attack ends your turn.



Top of the order, Miri's turn, then Vyrellis

...wow, 20 hits on a basic attack that is not a crit? Good job!

Miri will...

move action: run 8 square NNW (4 squares NW + 4 sq N... I should have a straight line to that square).

minor action: encounter power from boots; shift 1 sq NE + 1 sq N

standard action: 'Magic Missle' V (w/+2 to damage via feat)

done.

...note, since you ran to get into position, your attack will be at a large minus to hit (I don't have my books at the office anymore since I've been moving all non-work stuff a little at a time to prepare for my new desk.) I think I'll be at minus four or even minus five.

Teramotos wrote:...note, since you ran to get into position...

And my defenses are lower until my next turn. Option B was to not be able to attack, so we'll take the penalties.

Candelos' turn.
At the start of Candelos' turn he is attacked by the Razor Storm 28 vs Ac hits for 11hp of damage. Candelos is knocked prone.

Not sure if it matters, but are bursts and blasts still effected by being prone?

Current PC status:
Candelos 29/72hp with 13/14 surges
Sonya 28/61hp with 8/9 surges
Kaddim 34/73hp with 7/11 surges
Thia 42/60 hp with 7/7 surges
Miri 54/54hp with 9/9 surges

Vyrellis looks to have about 1/4 hp remaining.

Ross wrote:Not sure if it matters, but are bursts and blasts still effected by being prone?

The description of prone on PHB p277 only states -2 to attacks while prone. No exceptions are given for blast/burst powers.

You'd think you wouldn't take a minus with a Crossbow while prone, but I don't see an exception for it either.

Thia's turn...

Candelos or Sonya used a power to give some PCs +1 AC.

Does anyone remember what power and which PCs?

I'll need to go back through the logs. If Thia has one more AC then one of the attacks missed.

Candelos used a power to give all allies + 1 AC for the rest of the encounter. Don't know if Thia was in range. Sonya is again + 2 AC as I hit V last turn, so with Candelos' bonus, Sonya is again AC 28 this turn instead of 25. Thia was not in range when Sonya gave all allies + 1 to all defenses for the rest of the encounter.

Thia probably wasn't in range. It almost doesn't look like the HP were taken off from that map.

Thia will use distracting shot on the FW versus Kaddim. If the disruptive strike misses Thia uses Elven accuracy. If the body is flanked I get CA against her from distant advantage.

Thia activates her serpentskin armor and shifts 3 SW and uses twin strike. Not sure if I get prime shot as Miri and I are equidistant. Thia then announces to the party which square the body is in.

Dwarmaj wrote:

Not necessary. Invisible opponents automatically gain combat advantage and you didn't add +2.
