What's up with that? You guys aren't dead yet...

So, it is my understanding that the squares E and SW of Miri are now totally impassable?
The squares NE, N, and NW of Kaddim are likewise totally impassable?
Further, do I think that the WoF is keeping the hallway to the S of Sonya open; even the squares currently S and SE of Sonya since those squares would take fire damage each turn from being next to the WoF?

If all of my assumptions above are true, then I will take my turn as follows:
Move Action: Move 1 N
Standard: Charge 1 N and then 1 NE, basic attack on the wounded monster.
...done (if my assumptions were correct).

The "fleshy" area next to the stone corridor is blocked.


The WoF blocks LoS so you can't see beyond it. But you can tell that the fleshy area you can see is being damaged (slowly). Miri believes she's doing 12-15hp of damage to the walls, but it is regenerating most, but not all of the damage.

If you're SE of the creature, he'll have cover (from the corner of the wall) from your attack. No cover if you are to the creatures SW.

Do you still want to be SE?

Sonya's turn:
Standard: charge the robed figure
MBA 21+1-2 vs Ac miss




Thia's turn...

I meant NW so that I'm to his SE. Recall, I'm assuming that the squares W and SW of Miri are now impassable. My goof.

Teramotos wrote:I meant NW so that I'm to his SE. Recall, I'm assuming that the squares W and SW of Miri are now impassable. My goof.

I moved Sonya over. The attack still missed his Ac.

The square wasn't blocked, you just can't leave the "fleshy" area. One east of Miri is ok, you can't go two east of Miri.





Thia's turn...

?? if the square isn't blocked, how can we not be able to leave?

Thia nimble strikes the one to the north and shifts one south to get the extra AC.

Teramotos wrote:?? if the square isn't blocked, how can we not be able to leave?

Think of it as a door at the end of the square... You can enter the square, but can't go further.

Thia's turn:
Standard: use Nimble strike to shift 1S and attack the robed figure.
NS 19 vs Ac miss


At the end of Thia's turn she rolls a 6 and remains dazed.





NPCs turn...

NPC's turn:

Robed Figure #1:
Attacks Miri 34 vs Ac (critical) hit for 16hp of damage. Miri is blooded (28/58hp)

At the end of his turn he still looks dazed...


Destrachan:
Standard: use Sound Pulse on Kaddim
SP 18-2 vs Ref miss

Move: moves east

Robed Figure #2:
Move: move adjacent to Kaddim
Standard: attack Kaddim with Greatsword
Greatsword 27 vs Ac miss




Top of the order Kaddim's turn...

The cloud reaches the battle...

All creatures (NPCs too) in the corridor are now taking ongoing Acid damage.

At the start of Kaddim's turn he takes 5hp of acid damage.

Since I'm adjacent to the corner of the wall I should be able to see all the way down the corridor. Can you Illuminate it for me. Want to see if there are at least 3 deep of empty squares on the other side of the Destrachan.

The only way to show you what is west is to temporarily move your token 1N.

Is the cloud West of the Destrachan as well?
Minor: Aegis of Shielding on full up Robed Figure.
Move: Armathor's Step [1 North(from my actual position, not visual location), 3 West].
Standard: Transposing Lunge on Destrachan. If I hit I will Teleport him to my South.

The cloud fill the entire chamber...

Kaddim's turn:
Minor: mark the undamaged robed figure
Move: use Armathor's Step to teleport west
Standard: use Transposing Lunge on the Destrachan
TL 34+2 vs Ac hits for 24hp of damage. The Destrachan is teleported



Miri's turn...
At the start of Miri's turn she takes 5hp of acid damage. Miri is still dazed.

Am I going to spend this whole encounter dazed?! :-(

On the critical hit, use "Wizard's Escape" as immediate interrupt to teleport 3 squares S & avoid the blow.

dazed action: sustain wall of fire.

save v dazed.

done.

Oops. no interrupts while dazed, right? Just sustain wall of fire then...

Well if you can make your save you should be okay for a few rounds. I moved the Destrachan.

bradly wrote:Oops. no interrupts while dazed, right? Just sustain wall of fire then...

At the end of Miri's turn she rolls a 13 and is no longer dazed.






Candelos' turn, then Sonya...

Candelos, if you want to delay until after me, then I can move N and try to undaze you. That way you can move into my square and attack the guy so he doesn't have cover. Up to you.
Still Candelos' turn.

Current PC status:
Kaddim 41/79hp with 4/11 surges (ongoing acid)
Candelos 28/78hp with 6/14 surges (dazed, ongoing acid)
Sonya 66/66hp with 3/9 surges (ongoing acid)
Miri 23/58hp with 3/9 surges (ongoing acid)
Thia 47/65hp with 3/7 surges (ongoing acid)


Currently Candelos' turn...
Candelos took 5hp of acid damage at the start of his turn. There is no save for the ongoing acid damage.

Sure I'll delay until after Sonja turn

Okay, I'll go.
Minor Action: IW w Saving Inspiration on Candelos.
Standard Action: If Candelos did NOT make the save, then I'll do Inspiring War Cry on the monster and give the save to Candelos. If Candelos did make the save, then I'll do Lion's Roar on the monster and give the heal to Miri.
Move Action: Shift 1 N.
done.

The terrain you're on is difficult terrain and Sonya is unable to shift...

Sonya's turn:
Minor: use Inspiring Word on Candelos. Candelos uses a healing surge and regains 19hp he rolls a save vs Dazed and gets a 3. Candelos remains dazed.

Standard: use Inspiring War Cry on the robed figure to your NE.
IWC 16 vs Ac miss.

Candelos get a new save and rolls a 6. Candelos remains dazed.


Move: Sonya is unable to shift and has a move action left...

Okay, yeah forgot I can't shift. Well, if I move N, Candelos still can't get there with just a dazed action. I'll try one more time. Shake it off on Candelos.

Sonya's move action:
Shake it Off on Candelos. Candelos gets a new save with a +5 bonus. Candelos rolls 3+5=8. Candelos remains dazed.


Ouch, that was some bad rolling. He missed 3 saves in a row and one with a +5 bonus.


Candelos' turn...

Thanks for trying Stu

Standard second wind
Roll save

Mick wrote:Thanks for trying Stu

Candelos' turn:
Standard: use Second Wind. Candelos spends a healing surge and gains 19hp and +2 to all defenses.

At the end of Candelos' turn he rolls a 5 and remains dazed. (that's 4 missed...)





Thia's turn... then the NPCs...

Thia is not dazed so she will:

Minor: HQ the robed figure (as long as he is the closest)
Standard: Biting Volley

Krystoff wrote:Thia is not dazed so she will:

At the start of Thia's turn she takes 5hp of acid damage.

Standard: Biting Volley
BV #1 19 vs Ref miss
BV #2 26 Vs Ref hits for 12hp of damage.

At the end of Thia's turn she rolls a 9 and remains dazed.





NPC's turn...

NPC's turn:
Each of the NPCs take acid damage



Destrachan:
Standard: he uses Bellowing Blast on Kaddim
BB 27 vs Fort hits for 12hp of damage. Kaddim is dazed (save ends)

Move: move north


Robed Figure #1: (more damaged)
Standard: attack Miri with greatsword
Greatsword 30 vs Ac hits for 12hp of damage

The robed figure looks like he is still dazed.

Sorry, forgot he was dazed...
Thia's first shot actually hit 19+2 vs Ref hits for 20hp of damage. I've subtracted the damage.


Robed Figure #2:
Move: move north
Standard: charge Sonya
Charge 31+1 vs Ac hits for 12hp of damage.





Top of the order...
Kaddim takes 5hp of acid damage. Kaddim's turn...

Dwarmaj wrote:Robed Figure #1: (more damaged)

Finally not dazed! (One of the few now, it seems...)

Interrupt with 'Shield'. AC normally 26, but +1 from swordwarding & +4 from shield = AC 31 miss.

Miri interrupts an attack using Shield. I've added the HP back and Miri now has +4 AC/Ref until the end of her next turn.

Miri is currently at 23/58hp with 3/9 surges.


Kaddim's turn...

Note:
The two robed figures seem to be just as surprised by the corridor shutting and the acid cloud as the PCs. They seem to be yelling something to someone in a language the PCs don't understand.


Kaddim's turn...

The two robed figures seem to be just as surprised by the corridor shutting and the acid cloud as the PCs.

Sound like they've been double crossed

Free: Activate Fire Damage on Sword
Use my 2nd Wind.

Ross wrote:Free: Activate Fire Damage on Sword

Kaddim's turn:
At the start of Kaddim's turn he takes 5hp of acid damage.
Standard: use second wind. Kaddim spends a healing surge and regains 19hp and gains +2 to all defenses. Kaddim is currently at 43/79hp with 3/11 surges.

At the end of Kaddim's turn he rolls a 10 and is no longer dazed.




Miri's turn... then Sonya
At the start of Miri's turn she takes 5hp of acid damage.

Is this our current status after the start of Sonya's turn?
Current PC status:
Kaddim 43/79hp with 3/11 surges (ongoing acid)
Candelos 66/78hp with 4/14 surges (dazed, ongoing acid)
Sonya 49/66hp with 3/9 surges (ongoing acid)
Miri 18/58hp with 3/9 surges (ongoing acid)
Thia 42/65hp with 3/7 surges (ongoing acid)

I don't think Miri's turn will affect my turn much...
She might even delay to see if I down the wounded one so she can move back (can't shift) easier.
Standard Action: Brash Assault on the wounded one. + 13 vs. AC for 1d12+6. If I don't down it, it gets to make a basic attack against me w CA. If it takes the swing, I'll give Thia a free basic attack against it.
If Miri went ahead a went before me and happened to have downed the wounded one with a close blast or close burst, then I guess I'll use Brash Assault on the fresh one, same deal, give Thia the free basic attack if it decides to swing on me.
Done, saving my last two heals assuming my record of the party's condition posted just above is fairly close.

The conditions aren't quite right. That is where I got that Thia isn't dazed but she is still dazed.

Thia will twin strike whatever is still in range.

Standard: use Second Wind (I'm showing that Miri already used Second Wind... I'll need to go back through the thread to make sure)

Looks like on post #75 Miri attempted to use Second Wind, but couldn't. It is still available.

Miri's turn (Cont.):
Standard: use Second Wind gaining 14hp and +2 to all defenses.

Move: Miri moves 3 south drawing an AoO from one of the robed figures.
AoO 34 vs Ac (critical) hit for 14hp of damage.

Thia gets a RBA on the robed figure. RBA 27+2 vs Ac hits for 17hp of damage. The robed figure falls.




Thia's turn...
Thia takes 5hp of acid damage at the start of her turn...

I'll post PC status in a sec...

Current PC Status: (just after the start of Thia's turn...)
Thia 37/65hp with 3/7 surges (dazed, ongoing acid)
Kaddim 43/79hp with 3/11 surges (ongoing acid)
