Following the chains...

Crap I have to move through the vortex, everyone else has teleported so far.

Move: SE, SE, SE, S, S I believe gets me past the vortex
Minor: HQ the abomination
Standard: Biting volley

The area of the vortex and 2 squares on either side are difficult terrain (basically the whole room exept the 4x4 in the center).

It would take Thia a move and a move to get through the vortex.

OK, so I can move three to get next to the vortex and then next round use move move to get inside. A move and a move will just get me near him so I can be attacked. Close burst three for that guy is basically the full inside of the vortex.

Oh I guess I can try and help Miri take down the statue. I will twin strike the statue as my standard.

Thia's turn:
Move: move 2SE taking 4 squares of movement.

Standard: Twin Strike the statue
TS #1 29 vs Ac hits for 9hp of damage
TS #2 17 vs Ac hits for 16hp of damage. The statues is destroyed, the vortex was not affected.



After Thia goes, the vortex goes...

Vortex 33 vs Ref (critical) hits for 6hp of damage

Candelos is pulled 2 squares into the vortex



After the vortex, Sonya's turn...

I assume the abomination didn't look affected since it didn't get pulled around.

Mick wrote:I assume the abomination didn't look affected since it didn't get pulled around.

Correct, only the vortex and two squares on either side. The 4x4 in the center is not affected by the vortex.

Kaddim also notices that the 4x4 area in the center of the room doesn't have the floating "bubbles"...

...does the vortex appear to be a creature we can swing at and do damage to??

Teramotos wrote:...does the vortex appear to be a creature we can swing at and do damage to??

No, the vortex is not a creature. But...
Thia perceives (DC23 perception check) that when the vortex sped up the pillars next to the abomination seemed to glow.

What do the pillars next to the abomination seem to be made of ?

Teramotos wrote:What do the pillars next to the abomination seem to be made of ?

The pillars look to be made of stone (15' tall, 5' wide). The material looks similar to the walls of the pyramid.

Jesus 17 HP worth of damage. Looks like I need to get next to the abomination or we need to get him out of this area. That vortex will drain my HP so fast.

I'm bet the Tentacle Flurry (Close Burst 3) is a at-will power.

It will just pushing us into the vortex to be damaged while it stay safe in the center.

Yeah, I agree with Mick, the creature will just keep pushing us into the Vortex.
For my turn, I'll do a move and a move to end up next to the NW Pillar and as far east as I can get with my move and a move.
Done...

So the consensus is to focus on the inner pillars?

Sonya's turn:
Sonya uses a move and a move and ends up NE of the NW pillar


After Sonya's turn... the abomination takes a second standard action...
Abomination:
Standard: Tentacle Lash on Sonya 33 vs Ac hits for 10hp of damage. Sonya slides 2 squares north into the vortex.



Kaddim's turn, then Miri


Forgot he was marked.... He still hit Sonya with 33-2 vs Ac. I'm not sure if Candelos can use his mark if he doesn't have LOE.

A similar situation came up before and I ruled that you can't use your mark if you don't have LOE and LOS. Thoughts...

Kaddim's turn, then Miri

You're very close

Move: 2 sq south
Standard: Lightning Lure on the Creature
Minor: Mark him

In all the deformity does there look like any thing that might resemble another head?

Ross wrote:Move: 2 sq south

Kaddim's turn:
Move: move 2S
Standard: use Lightning Lure on the abomination
LL 29 vs Fort hits for 11hp of damage. Kaddim pulls the creature adjacent to him.

The abomination uses an immediate reaction power. Warp Storm - Kaddim is teleported three squares north.



Miri's turn...

Mick wrote:In all the deformity does there look like any thing that might resemble another head?

No, you don't see multiple heads, but his is why I asked the question on the rules board.

Do I have an action point? If so I want to use Lightning Lure on it again...oh wait, can we shoot through the hazy stuff?

Ross wrote:Do I have an action point? If so I want to use Lightning Lure on it again...oh wait, can we shoot through the hazy stuff?

Everyone currently has 1 action point.

The vortex blocks LOE both ways. You can shoot a target inside the vortex if you're inside, but you can't shot from outside in or inside the vortex out.

Miri's turn...

Thia's turn...

...Ken, before my turn, I'll need the current condition of the party. Also, what are you doing up at 5:50 AM on a Saturday morning? If my turn comes up in the next three hours, I'll need a map sent to my work eMail please.

Hehe, what are you doing at work on a Saturday???

Challen has SATs today so I have to take him to them, then he has a banquet to go to tonight. If I can't find a ride for him home I'll need to pick him up at 11pm (leave around 10 to get downtown by 11). Which will make playing tonight tough.


Current PC status:
Sonya 42/66hp with 9/9 surges
Miri 58/58hp with 9/9 surges
Thia 48/65hp with 7/7 surges
Kaddim 63/79hp with 11/11 surges
Candelos 42/78hp with 14/14 surges

...too bad he can't drive himself; hey, there's always METRO! Give him $ for taxi fare . If you're afraid for his safety, let him take his Bokken with him.
Yeah, we're way behind here. This is my only window this weekend to get in a few extra hours. Still Thia's turn...

Thia will move S and twin strike the closest pillar. I don't believe I can quarry the pillar so I will quarry the abomination.

Krystoff wrote:Thia will move S and twin strike the closest pillar. I don't believe I can quarry the pillar so I will quarry the abomination.

Thia's turn:
Move: move south out of the vortex

Standard: use Twin Strike on the pillar
TS#1 30 vs Ac hits for 11hp of damage. It doesn't look like your attack affected the pillar.
TS#2 32 vs Ac hits for 13hp of damage. It doesn't look like your attack affected the pillar.

It looks like the pillar is resisting your attacks. (ie, you'r not getting past it's damage reduction)


Minor: HQ the abomination.

Sonya is teleported adjacent to the north wall.




Note: only Kaddim and Miri can see the bubbles.

Sonya: Move - Stand Up

Teramotos wrote:Sonya: Move - Stand Up

You don't have LOE to Candelos since you're outside the vortex and he's inside.

Okay, then stand as a move action and second wind to not only heal, but get the + 2 to defenses as a standard.

Teramotos wrote:Okay, then stand as a move action and second wind to not only heal, but get the + 2 to defenses as a standard.

Can you fill the center square to damage him. If he stays there he'll take damage and if he's not in the center he would potentially get pulled into the vortex and take damage.

We should test to see if he's fire resistant or not, if not I'll put up a WoF next turn.

Does the statue block line of sight for Candelos to teleport?

Mick wrote:Does the statue block line of sight for Candelos to teleport?

No, but it does provide cover vs ranged attacks.
