Question: Can ongoing damage be chosen to be non-lethal? If so, Miri will choose subdual damage for Maulspike. (Otherwise, oh well.)

Thia HQ's the red gargoyle will crawl 2 spaces east and 1 space NE and then twin strike the red gargoyle.

Miri thinks to self: "Hmm... two of our girls are on their knees and two of our boys are rock hard..."

I don't think ongoing damage can be non-lethal, especially since it continues even when the target is down.

But PHB p295 only states:
When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points or fewer, you can choose to knock it unconscious rather than kill it.

I guess it depends on whether Miri is considered to have reduced it to 0 or not.

I still lean toward no, but that's me...

The red gargoyle is adjacent to you and will get an AoO if you move/crawl away from it.

Your attacks from prone are also at a minus.

Did you want to crawl and attack from prone or just stand and shoot?

Current map:

I will just stand and shoot. I get prime shot that way as well for a +1.

Thia's turn:
Move: stand up
Minor: HQ the red gargoyle

Standard: Twin Strike the red gargoyle
The red gargoyle gets an AoO on Thia 24 vs Ac hits for 12hp of damage.

TS #1 20+1 vs Ac hits for 17+3hp of damage
TS #2 21+1 vs Ac hits for 15hp of damage

The red gargoyle looks badly wounded...

NPC's turn

NPC's turn:

Red Gargoyle:
Move: move north
Standard: take stone form

Green Gargoyle:
Standard: use Hit & Run on Sonya 21 vs Ac miss

Medusa:
Move: move south of Sonya
Standard: The medusa leans forward and the snakes in her hair lash out and attack Sonya.
Snakey Hair 35 vs Ac (critical) hit for 11hp of damage. Sonya gains a -2 to Fort defense and 10 ongoing poison damage. Sonya is currently at 11/66hp with 9/9 surges.




Sonya's turn...

At the start of Sonya's turn she takes 10hp of poison damage and is reduced to 1/66hp.

Sonya is currently flanked by the medusa and the green gargoyle.

Where's a +1 snakey tooth when you need one?

I can't believe how lucky you guys have been getting. It may not seem that way with two defenders down, but it could be a lot worse...

When Thia gets hit by the AoO she will shift NE NE with yield ground which should still keep her in range for prime shot.

Could have been a lot better too. They're both down with full hits/surges. I thought this encounter would be a cake walk until we gave up the East flank...

I don't think you can use an interrupt on your own turn.
PHB p268

Immediate Action:Once per Round:
You can take only one immediate action per round, either an immediate interrupt or an immediate reaction. If you haven’t taken an immediate action since the end of your last turn, you can take one when a trigger allows you to. You can’t take an immediate action on your own turn.

Sonya's turn:
Minor Action: Rousing Words on self for two surges + 10 hits (42 total hits back)
Free Action: Open Eyes
Standard Action: Lions Roar on Medusa + 13 vs AC 2d12+6 and I'll use the healing surge on myself for 16 more hits back (should put me at 59 total).
Move Action: Shift to SE
End turn, note, if I have to make any saves vs. poison, my amulet gives me + 2.
Keep eyes open (gamble)...

LR 26 vs Ac hits for 11hp of damage. Sonya spends a healing surge and regains 16 more hp.

At the end of Sonya's turn she rolls her save
Poison 20+2=22 success. Sonya is no longer taking ongoing poison damage.

Miri's turn...

Nice rounds! 1 hit & ongoing 10 to almost full? Wow.

Hey, I know I can if he weren't stone, but can I still move through Kaddim's square? Is he still considered an ally? Is it difficult terrain? Impassable? (Asking for subsequent rounds, not this one)

bradly wrote:Hey, I know I can if he weren't stone, but can I still move through Kaddim's square? Is he still considered an ally? Is it difficult terrain? Impassable? (Asking for subsequent rounds, not this one)

Miri's turn:
Move: shift 1S

Standard: attack the medusa with staff
MBA 23 vs Ac miss





Thia's turn...



The square where Kaddim is at isn't totally immpassible, but very hard to get through. You can either try pushing him out the way or squeeze past him/climb over him. Either has a chance of making him fall which could damage him. He is not considered an ally at the moment.

Thia HQ's the green gargoyle.

Thia will move as far as she can north of the doorway accepting the AoO. She does have defensive mobility.

She will then twin strike the green gargoyle.

Free Action: Focus on the gargoyle, they are fairly squishy for being made of stone!

Thia's turn: (sorry, I have her marked as prone, but she's not)
Move: move north provoking an AoO from the green gargoyle
AoO 27 vs Ac hits for 14hp of damage.
Thia is currently at 18/65hp with 6/7 surges

Standard: use Twin Strike w/HQ on the green gargoyle
TS #1 15 vs Ac miss
TS #2 25 vs Ac hits for 10+5hp of damage.


NPC's turn...

Thia, I'm out of heals...

I still have a second wind and I believe we have heal pots somewhere. They might be stone though. One hit and that guys is almost halfway down. Then we can focus on the Medusa.

NPC's turn:

Red Gargoyle:
no actions... Sonya can see that his wounds do seem to be healing...

Green Gargoyle:
Standard: use Hit & Run on Sonya
H&R 18+2 vs Ac miss

The gargoyle is now adjacent to Sonya to the west. And north of Miri.

Medusa:
Standard: Attack Miri
Snakey Hair 32+2 vs Ac hits for 7hp of damage. Miri gains -2 to Fort defense and 10 ongoing poison damage.



Sonya's turn...

Ouch! We'll have to interrupt that...

Use 'Wizard's Escape' (hit too well to use staff of defense or shield...) and teleport either 3 N +2 NE or directly SE of Thia (I can't remember if max distance is 5 or 8... would rather be by Thia)

You need LoS for a teleport and from Miri's last turn (https://nwgamers.forumotion.com/online-role-play-gaming-f14/heading-south-t568-180.htm#7882) she has her eyes closed.

Sorry, no interrupt.

Dwarmaj wrote:...she has her eyes closed.

Sorry, no interrupt.

Darn! That's right... I wanted to use one of my other two interrupts anyway, why'd she have to hit so hard?! She has to miss by 3 or 4 for my other interrupts to work. :-/

Sonya's turn:
Free Action: "Miri, open your eyes."
Move Action: I think if Miri had her eyes open, we would be flanking the Medusa, correct? If so, I won't move now. As usual, I can't see the map. I think there's a wall to my S, the Medusa is to my W and a Gar is NW (next to me?). The N, NE and E squares are open, right?
Standard Action: If Miri opens her eyes, then I'll do Hammer and Avil which hits against Reflex instead of AC and we get flanking bonus and Miri gets damage bonus. If Miri doesn't open her eyes, I'll do Inspiring War Cry and give Miri a save vs. the poison (if applicable).
Minor: Out of heals...
...could be done, pending if my description of the battle field is correct. If it is and we are flanking the medusa, then I'll stay where I am.

Teramotos wrote:Move Action: I think if Miri had her eyes open, we would be flanking the Medusa, correct?

If Sonya moves NW, she's flanking the Gar-Orc, if she moves SE, she's flanking the Medusa. I know I don't get AoO (or LOS) with my eyes closed, but I can still attack so you would still get flanking bonuses.

If you're blind, you can't flank (PHB p277).

...that's why I told Miri to open her eyes so we could flank. I'd rather flank the medusa so if Miri opens her eyes as a free action, I'll shift SE.

Oh, and if we can't flank for some reason, I'll still shift SE and then IWC on the medusa instead of H&A.

H&A 20+2 vs Ref miss. Sonya grants Miri a MBA with +5 to damage.

Miri MBA on the medusa 23+2 vs Ac miss

Miri's turn....
At the start of Miri's turn she takes 10hp of poison damage.

Current Map:



Current PC status:
Thia 18/65hp with 6/7 surges
Miri 41/58hp with 8/9 surges (poisoned)
Sonya 59/66hp with 6/9 surges

Kaddim (petrified)
Candelos (petrified)

done.

Miri's turn:
Standard: use 2nd Wind. Miri uses a healing surge and regains 14hp

At the end of Miri's turn she rolls an 8 and remains poisoned.

Thia's turn, then the NPCs

Thia will shoot the Medusa with hunters bear trap. Thia does have the ranged flanking feat for a +2 to hit.

Free Action: Alright but that just gives the gargoyle some free shots on us.

NPC's turn...

NPC's turn:

The medusa says something to the gargoyle in a language the party doesn't understand, then points at Thia...

Green Gargoyle:
Move: shift 1NE
Standard: use Hit & Run on Thia
H&R 24 vs Ac hits for 17hp of damage. Unless interrupted Thia will be at 1/65hp and knocked prone.

Medusa's turn:
At the start of the medusa's turn she takes 5hp of damage.
Move: shift 1N
Standard: gaze attack
Gaze on Miri 25+2-2 vs Fort hits. Miri is slowed
Gaze on Sonya 21 vs Fort hits. Sonya is slowed.

At the end of the medusa's turn it does not look like she is slowed any longer...





Sonya's turn, then Miri

Remember to shift when you have a free move action... Did that hit you exactly?

Yes, it did hit exactly... I guess Thia forgot about her new boots.

Yep =) Don't normally shift every round. Have to get used to that even if I am not near anyone.

I have no way to interrupt the attack.

Krystoff wrote:Free Action: Alright but that just gives the gargoyle some free shots on us.

I think they're only worth attacking if we can drop them in one round, otherwise they'll hide in stone form and regenerate (while the Medusa tries to petrify us). Do you think if the 3 of us all attack the green Gar-Orc we can drop him?

Unless we roll bad yeah, with just 15 HP I dropped him somewhere in the neighborhood of 30%.

The gargoyles don't regenerate all that much so if we do hurt them enough for them to go stone form, then they are basically out for the rest of the fight. Look at the red one, his hp haven't gone up significantly in the last round.

For now though Thia has to head into the extra dimensional space to try and heal up a bit otherwise she is going down next round.

Krystoff wrote:...Look at the red one, his hp haven't gone up significantly in the last round.

I think that one was 1 attack from dead & now it's almost not bloodied anymore. That's pretty significant to me...

Sonya's turn...
Standard Action: Inspiring War Cry on Medusa, let Miri make a save vs. either the poison or the slow, I'll let her choose.
Move Action: depends, if it looks like I really hurt the medusa and Miri got really brave and made a succesful save vs. slow, I'll shift N, otherwise I'll shift W so that I can aid Miri next turn.
Minor Action: None
Make save at + 2 vs. slow due to amulet.
Done

Miri will take poison damage at the start of her turn unless she chose to roll the save vs the poison and made the save.

During Sonya's turn Miri rolls a save vs Poison and rolls a 17, Miri is no longer poisoned.

At the end of Miri's turn she rolls her save vs Slow and gets a 6. Miri becomes immobilized.





Thia's turn, then the NPCs.

Thia is currently prone with 1hp.

Thia will stand and move into the nearest mouth. That is it for this round, I will use second wind next round.
