Into the cold

I'll take another look at the actual item desciption... I assumed it lasted the entire encounter since it is a Daily item use.

I'm going to have it remain as a Daily power that lasts for one encounter (or 5 minutes).

Candelos may turn the power off by using a Minor action on his turn. Once turned off you can't turn it back on until after an extended rest and the power is recharged.

Mick wrote:I was not told this was a on going effect.

It is a daily & it doesn't say 'begin their next turn', so it does make sense that it lasts for the encounter.

Sonya, they're all bunched up for me so I can blast 4 of them at once. If you delay until just after my turn, I may be able to clear some of the minions out and give you combat advantage on your next turn.

Thia tries to stand up and puts away her bow and pulls out a short sword.

Note:
The order you specify your actions does make a difference...

Since Thia has tried to get up once before and didn't she knows that if she fails to get up her turn ends.

Thia's turn:
Minor: put away bow
Move: pull out sword
Standard: stand.
Icy Terrain 28 vs Ref hits for 0 damage, but Thia remains prone and her turn ends.

After Thia's turn is Candelos.

Candelos will

minor: Divine Challenge on orange knight

standard: Paladin’s Judgment on yellow knight

Paladin’s Judgment Paladin Attack 1
Daily ✦ Divine, Healing, Weapon
Standard Action Melee weapon
Target: One creature
Attack: Strength vs. AC
Hit: 3[W] Strength modifier damage, and one ally within
5 squares of you can spend a healing surge.
Miss: One ally within 5 squares of you can spend a healing
surge.

Give Thia the option to use a healing surge

There's a red, blue, & yellow knight... I assume you meant red, not orange?

Candelos' turn:

PJ 20 vs Ac miss
Thia gets to use a healing surge an is now at 42/65hp with 2/7 surges.

Hey, since no one else went yet, and Candelos still has a move action left, can he still use his move as a minor and turn off the whirlwind power? As one of the many allies adjacent to him, I was just curious... :-)

Yes, he would like to turn off the orb power since it has no effect on the eladrins.

Forgot to add...
Thia took 4hp of damage at the end of her turn because she is marked and didn't make an attack against the knight that marked her.

Winter Blade's turn:
WB #8 (marked by Kaddim)
Standard: Aid Another 24 vs AC10 success. WB#3 gets +2 to his attack

WB #3
Standard: Attack Thia 29+2+2=33 vs Ac hits for 4hp of damage.

Thia is current'y at 34/65hp with 2/7 surges.

Caster's turn:
At the start of her turn she takes 5hp of thunder damage
Special recharged...

Move: teleport 1S
Standard: cast Dazzling Snow (close blast 3)
DS on Miri 24 vs Will hits for 6hp of cold damage. Miri is blinded for a turn.
DS on Thia 25+2 vs Will hits for 6hp of cold damage. Thia is blinded for a turn.
DS on Candelos 25 vs Will hits for 6hp of cold damage. Candelos is blinded for a turn.
DS on Kaddim 19 vs Will hits for 6hp of cold damage. Kaddim is blinded for a turn.
DS on red Knight 17 vs Will hits for 6hp of cold damage (doesn't look like he took damage). The red Knight is blinded however for a turn.

At the end of the casters turn she looks like she is still taking thunder damage.



Currently Sonya's turn, then Miri

As usual, can't see the map. I think I'm blocked anyway from entering the room.
Need condition of the party before my turn so I know who to heal (hit points and conditions that a save can end).

Usually marks only take effect if you make an attack that doesn't include the marker. This would be the only one I've seen that effects if you make no attack at all. Unless this mark is really unusual, I don't think that's right...

Didn't I have one marked?

Nevermind. I see it now.

Thia needs a heal. We are all blinded.

Start of Sonya's Turn:
Minor Action: Inspiring Word on Thia. I don't think Thia has any conditions on her that a Save would end. If this is true, then I'll add the bonus 2d6 hits onto the heal. If Thia does have a condition that a Save might end, then I'll consider negating the 2d6 extra hits and give her a Save instead.

Standard Action: I think enemies are blocking my way into the room. Since I cannot shift into difficult terrain, does that mean that I cannot do a Bull Rush? I'll probably just swing at them anyway. If there's another party member that could clearly use a healing surge, I'll swing at the most damaged enemy with Lion's Roar. If there's not another party member that can clearly use a heal, then my next choice would be just a basic attack on the most wounded enemy.

Move Action: I might do another heal or grant a save if someone needs it. I don't think I can move anywhere and I don't know if I really do as I like being able to stand up.

I think both guys blocking your path are minions...

Current PC Status:
Current PC status:
Miri 32/58hp with 4/9 surges
Thia 28/65hp with 2/7 surges
Candelos 43/78hp with 12/14 surges
Kaddim 68/79hp with 10/11 surges
Sonya 48/66hp with 4/9 surges

Okay, I'll finish my turn...
I will use Lion's Roar on the guy to my East.
For my move action, I'll use Rousing Words to get Candelos back to max.

This one is different...
Feywild Challenge (standard;encounter)
Range 10;
The target is marked until the end of the encounter or until the knight dies, taking 4 damage each round it does not attack the knight.

Sonya's turn:
Minor: use second Inspiring Word on Thia. Thia uses a healing surge and regains 16+8hp. Thia is now at 52/65hp with 1/7 surges

Standard: use Lion's Roar on a Winter Blade
LR 24 vs Ac hits for 22hp of damage. A white light is emitted from the blue knight which shields the Winter Blade. The target of your attack takes no damage and the blue knight takes some damage. (The party has seen this used often enough now to know that the knight takes 1/2 of the damage when they shield a ally. The other half is negated.).

I believe you get to select someone to use a surge when you use this power.

Move: Use Rousing Words on Candelos. Candelos uses two surges and is now at 78/78hp with 10/14 surges

Miri's turn...
Miri is currently blind and marked by the blue knight. She doesn't take cold damage from Candelos since he turned his power off.

Dwarmaj wrote:Currently Sonya's turn, then Miri

I don't think being blinded effects area spells, so...

Standard action: cast 'Enemies Abound' on square 2 S of Thia, getting 4 baddies. (This includes the guy that has me marked, so no penalty, but will provoke an AoO from the red guy)

move action: shift 1 square NE (flanking red guy with Kaddim)

free action: "Witch, you've got to be running out of tricks, and you're definitely running out of men... Cease your attack already! Why lose everything?"

I believe it's a monster only ability.

Not very good for a PC since it takes a standard action and is an encounter power.

Miri's turn:
Standard: cast Enemies Abound.
EA on yellow Knight 20 vs Will hits for 10hp of psychic damage
EA on blue Knight 17 vs Will hits for 10hp of psychic damage
EA on Blade #3 17 vs Will miss
EA on Blade #8 28 vs Will hit for 10hp of damage. A white light comes from the yellow knight which negates the damage and he takes half. The yellow knight is now bloodied.



Kaddim's turn... He is currently prone, blind, and marked by the yellow knight.

The caster sends a icy stare toward Miri, men keep that one alive for me...

Move: Shift onto regular ground to the NW
Standard: Move 2 North and 1 West.
Done

Yep, using the heal from Lion's Roar, I'll have Miri use a surge with a +5 bonus.

Oh, wait, I'm prone.
Move: Stand
Standard: Shift into square in NW.

The red knight would have taken the AoO, but he's blind...

Kaddim's turn:
Move: attempt to stand up...
Icy Terrain 14 vs Ref miss, Kaddim successfully stands.

Standard: shift 1NW

After Kaddim the Knights go...

Knight's turn:

Red Knight:
Move: shift 1S
Standard: shift 1E

Yellow Knight:
Standard: attack Thia
Longsword 27+2 vs Ac hits for 10hp of damage

Blue Knight:
Standard: Attack Thia with longsword 32+2 vs Ac hits for 12hp of damage.
Move: Shift 1 S



Thia's turn... She is currently blind, prone, bloodied, and marked.
Thia currently is at 30/65hp with 1/7 surges.

Thia puts away her useless short sword (Why does she only have one when she needs two for any ability?)

Pulls out the bow again and tries to stand.

Is she not restrained anymore?

The restrained condition went away at the end of the knights turn and none of the nights recharged this round.

Thia's turn:
Move: put away sword
Minor: pull out bow
Standard: attempt to stand.
Icy Terrain 21 vs Ref miss. Thia is able to stand.

Candelos' turn...

Candelos will
Minor:Divine Challenge on yellow knight
Standard:Thunder Smite on yellow knight

Thunder Smite Paladin Attack 7
Encounter ✦ Divine, Thunder, Weapon
Standard Action Melee weapon
Target: One creature
Attack: Strength vs. AC (can score a critical hit against a
marked enemy on a roll of 19–20)
Hit: 2[W] + Strength modifier thunder damage, and the
target is knocked prone.

Candelos is blind, did you still want to use this power? Can you mark someone you can't see?

Divine Challenge works by attacking someone, so as long as he's able to target the correct square he would be able to mark them.

Yes, use the power.



Divine Challenge Paladin Feature
At-Will ✦ Divine, Radiant
Minor Action Close burst 5
Target: One creature in burst
Effect: You mark the target. The target remains marked until
you use this power against another target, or if you fail
to engage the target (see below). A creature can be subject
to only one mark at a time. A new mark supersedes a
mark that was already in place.
While a target is marked, it takes a –2 penalty to attack
rolls for any attack that doesn’t include you as a target.
Also, it takes radiant damage equal to 3 + your Charisma
modifier the first time it makes an attack that doesn’t include
you as a target before the start of your next turn. The
damage increases to 6 + your Charisma modifier at 11th
level, and to 9 + your Charisma modifier at 21st level.
On your turn, you must engage the target you challenged
or challenge a different target. To engage the
target, you must either attack it or end your turn adjacent
to it. If none of these events occur by the end of your turn,
the marked condition ends and you can’t use divine challenge
on your next turn.

Candelos' turn:
Minor: mark the yellow knight
Standard: use Thundering Smite on the yellow knight.
TS 33-5 vs Ac (critical) hit for 33hp of damage. A white light emits from the blue knight shielding the yellow knight from the damage. The blue knight takes half of the damage, but the yellow knight is still knocked prone.

Good hit.

Winter Blade's turn:
The caster tells them to fall back.
Both winter blades shift, then move to the room to the south.

Caster's turn:
At the start of her turn she takes 5hp of thunder damage.
Move: teleport
Standard: cast Winter Winds on Miri
WW 17+2 vs Ref miss

The blindness ends.
At the end of the casters turn it doesn't look like she's taking thunder damage any more.




Sonya's turn, then Miri

Sonya 48/66hp with 4/9 surges
Thia 30/65hp with 1/7 surges

Sonya's Turn: Minor Action - Heal Thia (again) - Inspiring Word (last one) w + 2d6 extra hits points of healing

Standard Action: Throw Shield at enemy. If there is more than one, throw at the closest one w/o cover. If I have a clear shot at a very wounded one, throw at that one. The yellow one looks like a good choice.

Free Action: Drop axe

(I don't think Miri's hits are correct, Sonya just gave her a healing +5)

Action point: (should get healing from Sonya) cast 'Force Orb' on Blue knight w/2ndary targets yellow & caster

Standard action: cast 'Scorching Burst' on same 3 targets (should be at +2 damage from 'Arcane Reserves' feat)

move action: shift 1 square S

Sonya has used Inpiring Word twice already. Is there another healing power you'd like to use?

arrggg..okay then. Out of heals. If anyone has a condition that a save will end, I'll do Shake It Off instead. Rest of my turn will be the same.
