Thia's turn...

Since the Red Skull decided to come out of the cloud and is closer to me I will:

Move: 1NW to stay out of the reach of the hands
Minor: HQ the Skull
Standard: Two fanged strike the skull

Thia's turn:
Move: shift 1NE (assuming NE since NW would put you next to the pillar...)

Minor: HQ the skull

Standard: use Two Fanged Strike on the skull
TFS #1 24 vs Ac hits for 11+6hp of damage
TFS #2 33 vs Ac (critical) hit for 22+10hp of damage (ouch, the skull looks badly wounded...)





Kaddim's turn...
At the start of Kaddim's turn he takes 5hp of necrotic damage from the pillar he's grabbed by.

Move: Attempt to break free.
Standard: Shift 1 East, or Attempt to break free if the Move attempt failed.

EB 22 vs Will hits for 9hp of damage

Minor make an Arcana check on the platform.
Arcana 14+4=18

Sonya sees that Karavakos is constructing a magical portal directly north of the stairs. The portal looks almost complete and looks to be constructed of humanoid and monster bones.

The platform and pillars seems to attack any living creature other than Karavakos.

Once grabbed you need to make a DC24 athletics or acrobatics skill check to break free. You're not sure what will happen to a PC that is grabbed and unconscious, but you have a feeling they'll continue to maintain their grab draining the lifeforce from their victim...

Skull's turn:
Standard: use Fiery ray on Kaddim
FR 19 vs Ref miss

Move: move to the NE corner and land. The party can no longer see the skull and everyone looses track of his position...





Candelos' turn, then Miri...

move: Unequip/drop the shield
minor: pull orb
standard: move W,3NW,N

If I get there without being grabbed I use a AP

Remember if you use an AP, Candelos gets 9 hit points healed.

Miri can't see Karavakos from her current position. The platform is 10' tall and he's not near the SW area. You'd have to move east to take a shot.

Okay, move E 3, just in between the pillars plus same as above.

Top of the order... Thia's turn, then Kaddim

Does Sonya have LoS to Karavakos from where she is at?
Confirming Candelos' shield, my old shield, is in the square SW of me, just waiting to be picked up.

Still Thia's turn and then Kaddim.

No, Sonya can't see Karavakos from her current position, the stairs up the ramp are in the way. You'd need to be NE of Kaddim to see him.

Yes, I believe Candelos dropped the shield SW of your current position.

Minor: HQ the closest
Move: S, W, W, W (actually mean west this time, thanks for knowing what I meant last time)
Standard: Twin Strike Karavakos

TS #1 22+2-2 vs Ac miss
TS #2 18+2-2 vs Ac miss

Note: I'm giving him cover from the platform since he's not near the edge but he is dazed and providing Combat Advantage.





Kaddim's turn...

Minor: Promise of Storm
Standard: Lightning Strider
Teleport 1: NW, NW, NW - Attack Bone Wall (+Promise of Storm Damage)
Teleport 2: NW, N - Attack Bone Wall (+Promise of Storm Damage)

Kaddim's turn:
Minor: activate Promise of Storm

Standard: use Lightning Strider
Teleport 1: teleport 3NW attack the wall to no affect (you damage it a little, but there are hundreds more arms, legs, hands to take their place).

The wall makes a grab attack on Kaddim
Wall 29 vs Ac miss (I believe your AC is 30


Teleport 2: teleport NW+N onto the platform. attack the wall to no affect.

Teleport 3: teleport to the NW of Karavakos (no flanking since Candelos is not on the platform 10' down).

LS on Karavakos 28 vs Ac hits for 11+7hp of damage.

Kaddim uses an Action Point and regains 9hp (now at 25/79hp...)
AP use Dimensional Thunder (the wall isn't affected...)

DT on Karavakos 36 vs Fort (critical) hit for 27+4+6=37hp of damage. (ouch)
Karavakos is now bloodied.




Karavakos' turn...

Karvakos' turn:
At the start of his turn he takes 5hp of thunder damage.

Standard: use Second Wind
Karavakos is no longer bloodied and his defenses seem to be a little stonger for the moment.

At the end of his turn...
The party sees the spell that he's been using to grab Kaddim fade away.
It doesn't look like he is dazed any longer.
It doesn't look like he's taking ongoing thunder damage any longer.


Sonya's turn...

Is Karavakos still bloodied? Picture shows him down to about 1/3rd.

Krystoff wrote:Is Karavakos still bloodied? Picture shows him down to about 1/3rd.

No, after he used his Second Wind he gained 1/4 of his hits back (and he has quite a bit...). He's just above bloodied though.

I'll post a new map after Sonya's turn. Difficult to post maps when at work since I have to go through a separate server since I can't access the forum at work directly.

Kaddim AC - he should have a + 1 to AC still since Sonya did hit with BoD early in the encounter.

Sonya -
Move: If I can shift one to the SW and have LoS to Karavakos, then I'll shift one to the SW. If shifting one to the SW won't do it, I'll have to move; 2 SW and hope the column does grab me.

Minor: I have a hvy shield equipped on my left arm. If I can drop my hand axe as a free action and pick up the Throwing Shield in the next square as a minor and if I can use the Throwing Shield with my right hand, I'll pick up the Throwing Shield. If I can't use the Throwing Shield in my right hand, then no minor action and I'll retain my Hand Axe.

Standard: Throw either Magic Hand Axe or Candelos' Throwing Shield at Karavakos.

Done...

Sonya's turn:

You have to have the shield equipped to use its At-Will power (throwing). Otherwise it's an improvised weapon with a 5 square range.

Shifting 1Sw would be enough but you'll be next to the pillar...
Move: move 2SW

The pillar makes a grab attempt on Sonya
Grab 19 vs Ac miss

Standard: throw axe at Karavakos
Axe 2+10=12 vs Ac miss





Candelos' turn, then Miri...

Note:
Candelos starts his turn next to the wall and is not currently grabbed. The wall makes a grab attempt at Candelos.

Grab 23 vs Ac miss (I currently have Candelos with 24+1=25 AC)



Candelos' turn, then Miri...

I assume Candelos can see Karavakos since he is on the edge of the platform but can't reach him.

Martyr’s Retribution Paladin Attack 5

Karavakos' turn...

NPC's turn...

Before Karavakos goes Kaddim and Candelos can see a skull emerge from a pile of bones in the NE corner (it looks badly damaged so you think its the one the fled earlier).

Skull:

Karavakos' turn:

Miri moved next to a pillar and the pillar tries to grab her.
Grab 18 vs Ac miss




Sonya's turn...
At the start of her turn the pillar tries to grab Sonya.
Grab 24 vs Ac miss

After Sonya will be Candelos and Miri

Sonya:

Teramotos wrote:Sonya:

Sonya makes an Arcana check and gets 16+4=20. Sonya believes that the pillars and platform can make a single attack per PC turn. She also believes they will continue attacking while Karavakos lives.



Candelos' turn...

move: shift N
minor: use last lay on hand on Kaddim
standard: jump off platform W, then S,S,SE,SE

Mick wrote:move: shift N

Candelos' turn:

Move: shift 1N

Minor: use Lay on Hands on Kaddim. Candelos uses a healing surge and Kaddim regains 19hp.

Standard:...

The only rules I could find to handle this is a "trained" Acrobatics check to avoid falling damage. Since Candelos isn't trained I believe he'll automatically take 1d10 falling damage and be prone after the fall.

If anyone can find anything different, let me know.

Miri will:

(use 'Shield' if it helps against pillar attack)

move action: shift 1 sq S

standard action: cast 'Ray of Frost' on Karavakos

done.

'reduce falling damage' is trained only, but if it's 10' or less, he can 'hop down' DC 15 to drop 10' or less as part of a move.

Where are the rules for "hopping down", I don't see it in the PHB.

Anyways...

I rolled an Acrobatics check for Candelos and he got 16+4=20.

Candelos takes 8hp of damage from jumping down 10' but doesn't fall prone. Then me moves 2S+2SE.




Miri's turn...
Miri starts her turn next to a pillar which tries to grab her.
Grab 30 vs Ac hits for 12hp of necrotic damage.

Miri uses Shield (increasing her AC to 31) to defend against the attack.

Move: shift 1S

Standard: use Ray of Frost on Karavakos
RoF 30 vs Fort hits for 17hp of cold damage (it doesn't look like he took full damage).
