Telgarth moves near the bottom of the stairs and has the first Vamp kill of the day... 16+9=25 hit for 13 hps, and Telgarth's longsword cleanly slices off the head of the Vamp dealer and explodes into dust.

Ashe's turn, then some baddies, then Blade at the top of the order...

Telgarth, remember to update your PC (with 7th or 8th level wishlist items) on the PP&T thread so I can plant upcoming treasure and Ken can have max time to update player tokens. Telgarth (& the 'sleeping guy') is the only one who hasn't posted...

Ashe will move inside and charge the closest vamp with the sunblade.

Minor: Activate sunblade radiant damage
Move: Move inside to a suitable charge position
Standar: Charge

Krystoff wrote:Ashe will move inside and charge the closest vamp with the sunblade.

Minor: Activate sunblade radiant damage
Move: Move inside to a suitable charge position
Standar: Charge

Ashe moves in past Telgarth and charges the waitress to the S... 7+9+2+1=19, barely missed.

2 waitresses from the SW do move/moves N towards Ashe.

The serving girl that was sent to escort Blade to the back room looks at the other Slayers charging in and after a pause says under her breath sort of to Blade, "I hope these guys can win..." and shifts SW then shifts W and wears her Vamp face threatening the girl she's now flanking with Blade.

Top of the order, Blade '18' must use unlock, then baddies then Ember...

Free: Assassin's Shroud on one to my SW.
Attack the one to my SW using Leaping Shade


Leaping Shade
As your weapon makes contact, the shrouds you have placed on your victim dig cruelly into its flesh.
At-Will Shadow, Weapon
Standard Action Melee weapon
Target: One creature
Attack: Dexterity vs. AC
Hit: 1[W] + Dexterity modifier damage. If you didn’t invoke your shrouds on the target, it takes 1 extra damage for each of your shrouds on it.

That just puts one Shroud up right? Let me know if you're still throwing up 2/time since it'll make a difference... Leaping Blade 2+9+2 flanking=13 miss.

A serving girl looks confused, then Ember '20' (wasted a critical) but must use new unlock, then a bunch of baddies...

Unlock update: (let me know if I have everything right...)

Angel: everything unlocked

Ashe: Divine Challenge, Blazing Starfall, Virtuous Strike left to unlock

Blade: 2nd wind, Executioner's Noose, Shadow Step left

Ember: (I'm assuming 2nd wind unlocked this turn), prestiditation, mage hand left (just the 2 cantrips?)

Telgarth: Avenging Shackles, AP left

...rituals don't need to be unlocked, but are only available as a freebee after everything else is unlocked. Anyway, I think that's right. Let me know if I missed something and/or if I have yours right. Thanks!

Correct for me.

FYI: I can only throw 2 Shrouds on the original dealer, who is down, right? I only threw one shroud this round, but didn't expend it.

move: shift N
standard: 2nd wind
free: Say "can I get a little help over here"

Brad did you roll for the rest of us for unlocks for this round?

Ross wrote:FYI: I can only throw 2 Shrouds on the original dealer, who is down, right?

No, he is absolutely NOT down. You and Ember BLOODIED him last round, but after his turn he wasn't bloodied anymore as his wounds rapidly healed. He is doing his best to sire Ember and has her in some trouble...

Mick wrote:move: shift N

Ember seems to be questioning the wisdom of teasing and picking on the boss, and shifts N and 2nd winds, gaining 7 hits and +2 defenses.

A serving girl to the S move/moves N, the girl flanked by Blade the the traitor girl 1+11=12 missed, the dealer to the S just stands there, and another girls moves N then charges Ashe and 10+11+1=22 hit for 5 necrotic +7 flurry. Ashe is down 12 hits.

Angels turn...

(then a couple baddies, including the boss on Ember, then Telgarth '5', then Ashe '14'. Once Angel & more baddies go, Ashe must use new unlock on his turn, none this round for Telgarth, whose rolling pretty bad on unlocks)



They're starting to close in on you guys!...

Thanks, but I didn't want an unlock this round. Waiting to see what the picture looks like after the Boss' attack.

Probable action
Move - full move toward to dealer leader attacking Ember
Oath wounded leader
Standard - attack wounded leader W/ Seeking Brand

jibuki wrote:Thanks, but I didn't want an unlock this round.

I hear you... it'll really mess up Ember too since her remaining unlocks are cantrips that take standard actions to use. Instead of attacking the enemy, it may start raining inside...

Note: Telgarth will probably have to move/charge to reach the boss.

Telgarth only has to be within 5 to use Seeking Brand.

Avenger Attack Seeking Brand
You refuse to let your enemies escape you, scorching a brand upon your sworn foe that is drawn to the power of your oath.

Encounter Divine, Implement, Radiant
Standard Action Ranged 5
Target: One creature
Effect: If the target is your oath of enmity target, you can roll twice on this attack and use either result.
Attack: Wisdom vs. Reflex
Hit: 2d8 + Wisdom modifier radiant damage, and the target is slowed until the end of your next turn.

The boss's actions might change my order but I don't think so.

Unlock Blazing Starfall

Move: Shift 1NW
Standard: Blazing Starfall on the boss and the other vamp near him (AoE Burst 1 within 10 - Radiant damage)
Minor: Dragon Breath (fire) from my SE corner getting the 4 vamps to my SE.

Dang! Both of you have ranged radiant spells? That could be bad for the boss... all these gallant men helping the lone damsel in distress.

Dragonborn breath is 3x3 triangle? I think you can only get 3/4 of the minions, but I don't have my books in front of me so not sure.

Angel's turn...

If it helps mine is an at-will while his is an encounter.

I believe it is a 3X3, looked like that 4th guy was just in but I can't see the lines, 3 works though.

Angel's turn:

Dwarmaj wrote:Angel's turn:

Ouch! Angel moves and charges in... 20+5+1=26 critical, 13 damage + 8 flurry. The boss is bloodied once again.

Serving girl S of Ember just stands there, the one S of Ashe 9+11=20... miss? Dang you have a high AC! Boss attacks Ember and 5+13=18, miss because of 2nd wind. He then shifts N 1.

Horrible round the the baddies!

Assuming Telgarth round is as posted...

Telgarth moves and summons 'Seeking Brand' and 16+6=22 v will hit for 16 hps (but you think you might have actually done more...)

Upon taking massive radiant damage, the boss yells to the SE, "JOOOEEE!!! Get out here! More Toknosfar with sun magic... They may even actually be the Profesized Ones!!"

Let me know if this is still your actions... 'Blazing Starfall' says each 'creature' in burst, not 'enemy' so you'd get 2 PCs & the boss & minion.

Won't subject everyone to damage, just the baddies. Place it to his NE so it only gets him.

Krystoff wrote:Won't subject everyone to damage, just the baddies. Place it to his NE so it only gets him.

That's what I thought... another crit for the PCs and as the boss combusts into dust, he looks at Ember and says, "In just 1 century we could have ruled the High Council together..."

Ashe also breathes fire and 19, 7, 21 v Ref, and 2 serving girls explode into dust.

How in the heck did Ember survive that round??!

One serving girl does nothing, the traitor girl attacks the one she's flanking with Blade and 10+11+2=23 hit for 5 necrotic +7 flurry giving her a fatal wound, but doesn't dust her. As she "dies", she yells, "Selena you bitch! You know you're dust before the dawn!"

Top of the order Blade '10' must use new unlock, then possibly baddies, then Ember '18' must cast a cantrip.

Things don't look nearly as grim as they did last round... yet!

Move: Shift 1 West.
Free: Assassin's Shroud on the one to my SE,SE
Standard: Use Executioner's Noose on the one to my SE,SE (using the Shroud for extra damage + Night Stalker damage)

Executioner's Noose
You gather shadows into the form of a noose, cast it around your foe’s neck, and pull.
At-Will Force, Implement, Shadow
Standard Action Ranged 5
Target: One creature
Attack: Dexterity vs. Fortitude
Hit: 1d6 + Dexterity modifier force damage, and you pull the target 2 squares. The target is slowed until the end of your next turn.

Blade throws a Shroud on the SE Vampiress & 6+6=12 v Fort, miss.

Same girl moves and attacks Blade... 11+11=22 hit for 5 necrotic + 7 flurry. Blade is very bloodied...

Ember's turn & must use a cantrip, then a slew of baddies, then Angel...

minor: Mage Hand W of me

Mick wrote:move: move 3 E

Ember moves, casts Mage Hand (I thought those were standards...), then casts 'Scorching Burst' on the 'dead' Vampiress and the one that's been helping you...

17+6=23 hit & dusted the dead Vampiress, 8+6=14 miss the one that was helping you.

2 serving girls do nothing, the dealer does nothing, then the girl cooking to the SW moves and charges Angel 16+11+1=28 hit for 5 necrotic +7 flurry.

Angel's turn, then possible baddies...



(The hand drawn image is Ember's Mage Hand)

Angel's turn:
Standard: use Lion's Den Attack (FoB on hit)

Move: Lion's Den Move, shift 1N and gain +1 to defenses

then casts 'Scorching Burst' on the 'dead' Vampiress and the one that's been helping you...

I think you are wrong on this.

cast Scorching Burst between the two vamps SE of Blade

Not SW of Blade

From post 105 the only vamp flanking with Blade is to the SW

The serving girl that was sent to escort Blade to the back room looks at the other Slayers charging in and after a pause says under her breath sort of to Blade, "I hope these guys can win..." and shifts SW then shifts W and wears her Vamp face threatening the girl she's now flanking with Blade.

Okay, but there weren't 2 Vamps SE of Blade, only SW

the 2nd one moved to attack Blade. There is nowhere a burst 1 could have hit 2 Vamps SE of Blade. Since it was the first roll that hit, I'll put the 'dead' Vamp back, assume you didn't attack the traitor Vamp, and say you targeted a single minion and dusted her.

I'll post a new revised map & Angels actions after lunch...

Per post 126 map there is.
That the last map posted before my turn.
I think you need to post new map more often if NPCs are going to move around.

Dwarmaj wrote:Angel's turn:

Angel attacks 1+5=6 v Ref, missed pretty badly, then shifts N.

The girl W of Angel does nothing, the girl SE of Ashe moves W +NW and attacks Ashe 16+11=27 hit for 5 necrotic +7 flurry. Ashe (& Blade) are now bloodied.

The party probably doesn't hear, "You, stay here & watch them, you, come with me." and the E door opens.

Telgarth '1', then Ashe '20' must use new unlock, next... but Ken's on his way here right now, so I'll post an updated map of the area once he gets here...

Telgarth
minor oath vampire attacking Ashe
move E, E, S, S - I should be to the N of the vampire attacking Ashe.
Bond of Pursuit

Avenger Attack 1 Bond of Pursuit
With your attack, you utter a promise to follow your enemy if it tries to escape.
At-Will Divine, Weapon
Standard Action Melee weapon
Target: One creature
Attack: Wisdom vs. AC
Hit: 1[W] + Wisdom modifier damage. If the target doesn’t end its next turn adjacent to you, you can shift a number of squares equal to 1 + your Dexterity modifier as a free action, and you must end that shift closer to the target.

jibuki wrote:Telgarth

Bond of Pursuit

That Oath is pretty cool...

Telgarth Oath's the serving girl fighting Ashe and moves EES and 4+9=13, miss, 14+9=23 hit and slices the head clean off her as she explodes into dust.

Ashe's turn and must use an unlock (so can't 2nd wind unless you AP or have a minor action power to unlock...)

In post 187 of https://nwgamers.forumotion.com/t764p180-giles-training-session I unlocked my mark so I need to unlock my virtuous strike. It looks like there is a vamp next to me so I will use VS on that one (Unless it is Selena). If it connects and dusts her I will move W, W , W, NW, NW.

Krystoff wrote:..It looks like there is a vamp next to me...

There was, Telgarth just finished that one off...

jibuki wrote:Telgarth

Dang, Alright I will move S, S, SW and attack that one with Virtuous Strike. I believe that one isn't Selena either.

Krystoff wrote:Dang, Alright I will move S, S, SW and attack that one with Virtuous Strike. I believe that one isn't Selena either.

You are correct.

Ashe moves and attacks with VS and 3+9+2-2 cover from pillar=12 miss.

The 'dead' Vamp does nothing. Selena, the traitor Vamp, moves and attacks the same one Ashe did and 3+11=14 miss.

The party then sees the doors to the E open and 2 more male Vamps come out. The one to the N has his shirt unbuttoned and hair, clothes ruffled, the one to the S is shirtless and very sweaty. They are both wearing Vamp faces...

Blade's turn '11', then Ember '20' both must use new unlocks, then baddies...



Note: I marked the traitor Vampiress with an 'x'. I'm trying to post a map roughly every other PC's turn.

Krystoff wrote:Dang, Alright I will move S, S, SW and attack that one with Virtuous Strike. I believe that one isn't Selena either.

S+S+SW would put Ashe in flanking position with Blade, still probably a miss.

You can also change the color of the halo around the NPC.

Right click on the NPC, select halo then the color you want.

Dwarmaj wrote:

Whoops, you're right. On both counts, 12 & 16 both miss, but could make the difference for Blade... I'll move the token.

Blade's turn and you have flanking from Ashe on the vamp girl to your E...

Free: Assassin's Shroud on the one I'm flanking.
Standard: Leaping Shade (and invoke Shroud)
Action Point: Second Wind.


Leaping Shade
As your weapon makes contact, the shrouds you have placed on your victim dig cruelly into its flesh.
At-Will Shadow, Weapon
Standard Action Melee weapon
Target: One creature
Attack: Dexterity vs. AC
Hit: 1[W] + Dexterity modifier damage. If you didn’t invoke your shrouds on the target, it takes 1 extra damage for each of your shrouds on it.

Ross wrote:Free: Assassin's Shroud on the one I'm flanking.

Blade throws a shroud and attacks with Leaping Shade on the flanked girl and 13+9+2=24 hit for 9+5 damage, and very impressively sends her to dust. Blade then uses an AP to 2nd wind, gaining 7 hits and +2 defenses. (Blade is still bloodied)

Ember's turn (must use unlock) then baddies...

Angel: 22/34 13/13 everything unlocked

Ashe: 9/33 13/13 Blazing Starfall left to unlock

Blade: 13/30 10/11 Executioner's Noose, Shadow Step left

Ember: 16/30 10/11 everything unlocked

Telgarth: 34/34 12/12 Avenging Shackles, AP left

Any baddies down but not dusted? If so on my next turn I will use a standard and do a blood drain on them to use another surge.

Ross wrote:Any baddies down but not dusted? If so on my next turn I will use a standard and do a blood drain on them to use another surge.

Yes, the skull/bones token to your S...

Ember: 16/30 10/11 everything unlocked

I wish
I think I still have 2 cantips left.
Ghost Sound and Prestidigitation

move: 3NE
standard: Ghost Sound in space 6SW & 1S (laughter)

AP: Orbmaster's Incendiary Detonation in space 5SW & 1S adjacent to the 2 vamps

Orbmaster's Incendiary Detonation
Attack: Intelligence vs. Reflex
Hit: 1d6 + Intelligence modifier (+6) force damage, and you
knock the target prone.
Effect: The burst creates a zone of licking flames that lasts
until the end of your next turn. Each enemy that enters the
zone or starts its turn there takes 2 fire damage.
1d6+12 damage

Actually I think I have everything unlocked. I did Blazing Starfall earlier (Range 10 area burst 1 radiant damage) and then Virtuous Strike as my last unlock. I had unlocked Divine Challenge in the last encounter.
