Dwarmaj wrote:I see it now.

The shield is an immediate interrupt and you take the damage from an ally. Then gain resistance to all damage equal to half what you took.

So the sequence of events would be:
Thia moved and took AoOs
Sonya negated an attack and took 6 necrotic damage (+5 because Sonya is bloodied)

On the NPCs turn, Sonya got hit for 9-3=6 cold. Sonya is currently at -2hp.

Post #201 Sonya had 15 hits
Post #214 Sonya took (9-3) = 6 hits, so should have 9 remaining
She then interrupted (6+5)/2 so should have 3 hits left, not -2. (right?)

Sonya had 15

Sonya negated an attack on Thia and took 11 necrotic damage (6+5)

Then Sonya was hit by the Fear attack which did 9-3=6

So Sonya took 11+6=17.

Sometimes it doesn't pay to help out a friend...

Dwarmaj wrote:Sonya negated an attack on Thia and took 11 necrotic damage (6+5)

She should have had resistance to 1/2 of this (rounded down), so should have only took 6 of these 11 hits.

Miri's turn:
Minor: sustain the cloud

Move: cast light on her own square

Standard:
Cast Scourching Burst catching three vampires
SB #1 28 vs Ref hits for 10hp of damage. The vampire to your north falls.

SB #2 21 vs Ref miss

SB #3 33 vs Ref (critical) hit for 13+12+2hp of damage. The vampire to the east falls.




Sonya's turn...

At the end of Sonya's turn she rolls an 11 and makes her first death save.

Vampire's turn...

you forgot your AoO on Miri for casting

No, she gains resistance 3 after the initial take is resolved.

So she took 6 necrotic and an extra 5 because she's vulnerable. Then she gains resistance to 3 to all damage for a turn.

The cold attack hit her and she resisted 3 of it, but she still took 6.



The shield says:
Immediate Interrupt. You can use this power when an adjacent ally is hit by an attack. You are hit by the attack instead. The ally is unaffected by the attack. You then gain resistance to all damage equal to half the damage dealt by the attack (if any) until the start of your next turn.

Technically the attack on her only did 6hp of necrotic damage. She took an extra 5 for vulnerability, but I don't believe that counts as damage from the attack.

bradly wrote:you forgot your AoO on Miri for casting

Didn't forget...

I believe the monsters know the general affects of a mark they are under.

The vampire that could make an AoO on Miri is currently marked by Candelos. If it attacks, the attack would be at -2 and it would take radiant damage.

Being a minion damage radiant or otherwise would kill it.


So I guess the question is how much information should a monster know about a mark a PC put on it?

If a minion know they are going to take damage, then they won't attack.

If all they know is the -2 penalty, then I think they would attack.

Thoughts...

Vampire's turn:

V1 (2N+1E of Miri)
Move: vanishes (Thia can no longer detect it)

Standard:...


V2 (north of Candelos)
Move: shift 1 NE

Standard: Move north of the statue to the north, then everyone except for Thia looses track of it. Thia knows that it is NE of the NE statue.





Kaddim's turn, then Thia...


Note: OHOM is currently no longer active. It stopped when Candelos went unconscious.

Seems like they wouldn't know unless they felt the effects of the mark already.

Mick wrote:Seems like they wouldn't know unless they felt the effects of the mark already.

Your mark has kicked in at least once already against one of their allies (a guardian).

I remember getting a ruling once before from WotC that a creature knows the affects of a power or mark they are under.

I've been ruling that they would know that they would take damage, but not the amount of the damage.

For a minion though, any damage would kill it and they won't make an attack knowing they would take damage.

Is Sonya stabilized? If not move to Sonya and attempt to stabilize her.
If she is then move North of Miri and ready action my Lightning Lure.

Dwarmaj wrote:Kaddim's turn, then Miri...

Miri will:

move action: pull out torch

standard action: light torch

minor action: recast 'Light' 4 squares N

Note: if it's only a standard to light a torch, maintain cloud.

done.

Sorry, it was Kaddim's turn, then Thia

Ross wrote:Is Sonya stabilized? If not move to Sonya and attempt to stabilize her.

No, Sonya is not currently stable.


Kaddim's turn:
Move: move adjacent to Sonya

Standard: make a heal skill check to stabilize. Kaddim rolls a 9+3=13.

It's DC 15 to stabilize.
It's DC 10 to allow them to use Second Wind.

No luck this round.


Thia's turn...

No undead around except for those up in the north quadrant?

Thia will move to the doorway and attempt to open it.

Krystoff wrote:No undead around except for those up in the north quadrant?

Thia will move to the doorway and attempt to open it.

Thia knows the position of two undead to the north.

Thia's turn:
Move: move to the door

Minor: attempt to open the door (it's locked)

Standard: Thia easily unlocks the door



NPC turn...

NPC's turn:
Move:
An unknown NPC moves east (5 north of Thia)

Minor: use Command
The party knows that one of the slain vampires (2 NW of Thia) stands back up...

Standard: use Fear on Miri
Fear 26+2 vs Will hits for 5hp of cold damage. Miri is pushed 5 squares west (into the darkness and Stinking Cloud).





Candelos' turn, then Miri and Sonya...


Note: there is also a slain vampire adjacent to Thia to the north.

Candelos, if you intend to try to heal me, if you don't have a heal left, might want to try to activate my second wind rather than stablize. Hmmm...wonder if that's allowed, activating the second wind on a dying person.

Teramotos wrote:Candelos, if you intend to try to heal me, if you don't have a heal left, might want to try to activate my second wind rather than stablize. Hmmm...wonder if that's allowed, activating the second wind on a dying person.

Yes, it's actually easier than trying to stablize.

Use Second Wind DC10
Stabilize DC15


There's no rules that I can find that say you have to be conscious to use your second wind. Since you can force feed a healing potion and let someone use a surge,a DC10 heal check seems fine.

Well it will probably miss but I will try to use distracting shot on the fear attack on Miri.

Krystoff wrote:Well it will probably miss but I will try to use distracting shot on the fear attack on Miri.

You know that there's a pillar between you and the target and it has Total Concealment. Your shot would be at -7.

If you still want to take the shot let me know...

I will save it then. It didn't hurt her too bad but the stinking cloud probably will.

Krystoff wrote:I will save it then. It didn't hurt her too bad but the stinking cloud probably will.

Hehe, Miri is actually in the best shape of all of the party members.



Candelos' turn...

It's currently Candelos' turn, but you may want to change your turn...

Yes, definitely new actions:

(Since Candelos is probably going to help Sonya, I don't think it'll affect me.)

move action: move E 5 + NE 1 (inbetween Thia & the baddie)

standard action: MBA on baddie I can't see (w/sword)

done.

Candelos:
move: 2S towards Sonja
standard: heal check to allow her to second wind. should be auto since he is +11 heal
better save my last Lay on Hand

Mick wrote:Candelos:

Candelos' turn:
Move: move adjacent to Sonya

Standard: make a heal check on Sonya. Candelos rolls 12+11=23 success. Sonya spends a healing surge and regains 16hp.


Miri's turn...

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


Move: move east

Standard: make a MBA on the vampire to the NW
MBA 20-5 vs Ac miss

Minor: (not sure if you wanted to sustain the cloud...)





Sonya's turn...

Sonya -
Move - Stand
Free - "Thanks Candelos"
Minor - Pick up Axe
Note - the +2 to all my defenses from 2nd Wind ended at the start of my turn.
Standard - Full Defense
done...

Sonya's turn:
Move: stand
Standard: use Total Defense for +2 to all defenses.

Note: you don't get +2 to defenses from Second Wind if someone used a heal check to trigger it (PHB p185).


Next up is the vampires...

Vampire's turn:
V1 (adjacent to Miri)
Standard: make a claw attack
Claw 26+2 vs Ac hits for 6+5hp of necrotic damage. It barely hit, let me know if you want to use an interrupt.

Move: move north (no AoO since it has total concealment). It tries to hide, but Thia easily points it out.

V2 (to the north)
Move: move south (the only one that knows where it is Thia. It moved north of the first one (SE edge of the NE statue).

No other actions are detected.




Kaddim's turn, then Thia

I will attempt to attack the vampire with Lightning Lure.

Ross wrote:I will attempt to attack the vampire with Lightning Lure.

Lightning Lure has a range of 3 and the nearest vampire is 8 squares away.

If you want to move, which square do you want to move to?

Can't see map. Move to within 3 of square Thia pointed out.

Ross wrote:Can't see map. Move to within 3 of square Thia pointed out.

Kaddim's turn:
Move: move 5N (Note: you're standing on a slain vampire)

Standard: use Lightning Lure
LL 18-5 vs Fort miss

Thia's turn...

Minor: Open door
Free: Get to da choppa!
2nd Free: Cmon everyone; out the door. Lets regroup (and get more light sources for this room)
Standard: Target two minions with twin strike, I do realize I will be at a -7.
Move: If the light source spills out the doorway then I will move east 4 spaces right near the intersection. Otherwise I need to wait for the light source.

Thia's turn:
Minor: Thia opens the door

Standard: use Twin Strike on two vampires
TS #1 29-7 vs Ac miss
TS #2 22-7 vs Ac miss

Move: the light only goes two squares out into the corridor so Thia moves 2E to get out of the room.

NPCs turn...

NPC turn:

Minor:
The unseen NPC uses Command. The slain vampire Kaddim is standing in stands and gets a free shift 1S.

Move: use Flame on Miri
Flame 17+2 vs Fort miss

Standard: use Fear on Miri
Fear 22+2 vs Will hits for 5hp of cold damage. Miri is pushed 5SW.



Candelos' turn, then Miri and Sonya...

Current PC status:

Kaddim 28/79hp with 3/11 surges
Miri 24/58hp with 8/9 surges
Sonya 16/66hp with 1/9 surges
Candelos 43/78hp with 7/14 surges
Thia 58/65hp with 0/7 surges

Vyrellis to Candelos

If you leave the area to rest, they may leave as well.

If you must leave be prepared for the next group to be stronger...

If we do stay, we need to get some light where that other undead is that keeps bringing the minions back so we can attack it.

Does anyone else have any light sources?

anyone who has a standard adventurer's kit should have two sunrods. Sonya has used one of hers. Still Candelos' turn, then Miri, then Sonya.

Teramotos wrote:anyone who has a standard adventurer's kit should have two sunrods. Sonya has used one of hers. Still Candelos' turn, then Miri, then Sonya.

I assumed each PC has an Adventurer's Kit, though looking through the Character Builder every PC has one except Sonya.


I guess she took Quinn's before he decided to remain with the other humans...

I assumed you were going to interrupt so I didn't subtract the HP. Miri is currently at 24/58hp with 8/9 surges.

It's the same turn so you can't use another interrupt.
