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

Candelos' turn:
Move: move adjacent to Sonya

Sonya's turn...

Sonya -
Move - Stand
Free - "Thanks Candelos"

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.

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...

Is this the same round? If I can, I'll interrupt this with 'Staff of Defense'

...and no, Miri won't sustain the cloud since they're immune to poison.

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.


Candelos' turn...

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

Free: Say "I still think we should leave. Must of us are low on hit & surges with no means of healing. We need to regroup"

move: 2N, 1NE. so I'm flanking with Kaddim
minor: mark it
standard: attack with Holy strike

Holy Strike Paladin Attack 1
At-Will ✦ Divine, Radiant, Weapon
Standard Action Melee weapon
Target: One creature
Attack: Strength vs. AC
Hit: 1[W] + Strength modifier radiant damage. If you
marked the target, you gain a bonus to the damage roll
equal to your Wisdom modifier.

Candelos' turn:

Minor: mark it

Standard: use Holy Strike
HS 28+2 vs Ac hits for 16hp of radiant damage. (it looks like he took extra). The vampire falls.




Miri's turn... then Sonya

Miri will:

standard action: chop off its head with longsword.

Miri's turn:
Move: move adjacent to the fallen vampire

Standard: strike the vampire with her sword to decapitate it.

Coup De Grace (auto hit) for 15+16hp of damage.

The vampire is decapitated.


Note:
Candelos doesn't think that will stop the vampires from rising. With a passive Religion check he's pretty sure who ever is animating them will continue.

If Candelos or someone else wants to make an active Religion check they may find out more info...


Sonya's turn...

Sure Candelos will make a religion check. I think he's +10

Mick wrote:Sure Candelos will make a religion check. I think he's +10

You can't make an active check until your next turn.

Your passive check was 10+11=21 (Candelos is +11 in Religion) which told you that the power that was used to bring the vampire back would probably bring them back even if they didn't have a head.

DC25 (minor action) to get more specific info...

Sonya -
Move Action - Put away lt shield that has used up it's daily power.
Minor - Get out hvy shield
Standard - Equip hvy shield for the extra AC and reflex defense.
Free - "...anyone know where the last undead are?"

There are three creatures that the party can't see (but know their position) north of Kaddim in the "unshaded" areas.

Vampire's turn:

V1:
Move: move south (NW of Kaddim)

Standard: make a claw attack
Claw 24+2 vs Ac miss

V2:
Move: move south (N of Kaddim)

Standard: make a claw attack
Claw 31+2 vs Ac hits for 6+5hp of necrotic damage





Kaddim's turn, then Thia...

If it's only a minor, I suggest everyone try a religion check. If we can get rid of the minions permanently, I think this last guy alone won't be so hard...

Would the headless Vampire be -5 for blind?

Currently Kaddim's turn...

Kaddim is currently at 17/79hp with 3/11 surges.

There are two vampires adjacent to you with Total Concealment.

Mark any enemy I can target, that is the furthest away I can reach.
Shift East and if I still have it use 2nd Wind. If not, then shift 1 more East.

Ross wrote:Mark any enemy I can target, that is the furthest away I can reach.

Kaddim's turn:
Minor: mark the vampire to the NW (your mark has a range of 2 and there are no other creatures you can sense)

Move: shift 1E

Standard: use Second Wind. Kaddim uses a healing surge and regains 19hp.

Kaddim is currently at 36/79hp with 2/11 surges


Thia's turn...

Well people are moving towards me but we haven't fully committed yet. I believe if I move south 1 I might have shot at the vampires with cover and concealment.

Move: Shift 1S
Standard: twin strike any Vamps I have a shot on; if it is only one shoot him twice.

Move: Shift 1S
Standard: twin strike any Vamps I have a shot on; if it is only one shoot him twice.

Thia's turn:
Move: ??? (Thia is in a corridor that goes north and east, you are on the southern wall and can't shift south. You can shift east into the darkness, shift north but the vampire will have cover and concealment, or shift west)

Currently assuming no shift since there are no enemies in sight, but you can shift if you like for the AC

Standard: use Twin Strike on the vampire 2N of Miri
TS #1 15-5 vs Ac miss
TS #2 20-5 vs Ac miss


NPC turn...

Unseen NPC turn:

Minor: use Command
The slain (decapitated) vampire is resotored (head intact) and stands.

Move: use Flame on Miri
Flame 21+2 vs Fort hits for 9+5hp of Fire and Necrotic damage. If you have another interrupt that work for Fort let me know...

Standard: use Fear on Miri
Fear 27+2 vs Will hits for 6hp of cold damage. Miri is pushed 5 squares SW.



Candelos' turn...


Note:
Miri is currently at 4/58hp with 8/9 surges

Hum, if Miri is pushed SW, it make sense the statue is doing the pushing.

move: 1SW, 2W, 1SW take a AoO from the Vamp
standard: attack with Holy Strike
minor: religion check

Looks like Mri got pushed into the SW quadrent. Might expect that to start another group on monsters.

Not following you...

You know the unseen NPC to the north is the one that pushed Miri. The statues seem to be generating the field of darkness. Miri has already tried attacking the statues to no affect.

You can revise your turn...


With the new stealth rules the PCs know where all of the monsters are unless the monsters are hidden and beat everyones passive perception.

You know there is
1 unknown monster (you haven't seen him, but know his position)
3-4 vampires (that the party has killed several times...)

There were 3 guardians but they have been killed.

No other monsters have been detected in this room.

Vyrellis to Candelos
A light in the NE section may reveal what we're up against...

Dwarmaj wrote:
Flame 21+2 vs Fort hits for 9+5hp of Fire and Necrotic damage. If you have another interrupt that work for Fort let me know...

Yes, Miri will use 'Staff of Defense' encounter power. Works against 1 defense (doesn't specify which).

bradly wrote:

Miri uses an interrupt to negate the Flame attack.

Miri is currently at 18/58hp with 8/9 surges.


Candelos' turn...

standard: attack the vamp wit Holy Strike
Is pulling/using a sunrod a minor or move action"
If it's only a minor, I'll move 1NW, 4N

Mick wrote:standard: attack the vamp wit Holy Strike

Candelos' turn:

It's a minor action to take out a sunrod, but you'd have to drop your sword to do it since you can't use your shield arm with a heavy shield attached.

Or you can spend a standard action to stow the shield (or a move&free to unequp and drop).


You have a Minor, Move, and Standard action to work with.

Draw/sheathe a weapon is a Minor
Draw a sunrod is a Minor
Unequip/drop the shield is a Move
Stow the shield is a Standard

I don't think you can move, attack, and draw the sunrod.




Still Candelos' turn...

...or Candelos can use an Action Point if he still has one.
Still Candelos' turn...

Start of the encounter:
Kaddim 46/79hp with 8/11 surges 2AP
Miri 58/58hp with 8/9 surges 1AP
Sonya 58/66hp with 3/9 surges 2AP
Candelos 78/78hp with 10/14 surges 1AP
Thia 65/65hp with 0/7 surges 1AP


Current party status:
Kaddim 36/79hp with 2/11 surges 2AP
Miri 18/58hp with 8/9 surges 0AP
Sonya 16/66hp with 1/9 surges 1AP
Candelos 43/78hp with 7/14 surges 1AP
Thia 58/65hp with 0/7 surges 1AP


So it looks like Kaddim, Candelos, and Thia each have an AP they can use.


Currently Candelos' turn...

I used an AP this encounter when I shot the guardian. It was when Sonya shielded me and took the extra damage.

Fine he'll just attack with Holy strike.

I'll let some else light the area up.
His job is to attack things, take himself out of the battle for 2-3 rounds to light a sunrod.
