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

(Ah... I posted that assuming Prestigitation this round. Forgot about Ghost Sound)

Ember moves NE 2 (to the N wall) and creates bursts of laughter as an explosive burst 17+6=23 hit, 14+6=20 hit, and two Vamps explode into dust as they are getting knocked off their feet... they feel very demoralized as the turn to dust as they're being laughed at.

Girl to Telgarth's E finally moves and attack Telgarth 1+11=12 miss. She's tripping pretty good...

The other dealer finally goes and tried to attack the traitor & flurry Ashe, but 4+11=15 miss.

Wow... I don't have many troops left.

Angel next, then Telgarth '6' and then Ashe (2nd PC done)... (then more baddies)

Not a good round the the NPCs...



The red sq S of Angel is on fire & I forgot to erase the mage hand which wasn't maintained.

Angel's turn:
Move: move 2SW

Minor: draw a shuriken

Standard: throw a shuriken at the girl south of Ashe (+8 to hit, 1d4+5 damage)

Darn it! I thought you'd take damage from going through the fire, but it says "enemies"...

Angel moves 2 SE and throws a tiny star at the dealer (male, actually) and 6+8=13 miss.

Telgarth, then Ashe...

Oh, and Telgarth, not to give away how close the party is to finding some nice treasure, but please post your PC in the PP&T thread with a wishlist of 7th & 8th level items you might like to find...

My list has been in for a while just where I originally posted my PC.
I made a second copy in with the others.

Oh, ok thanks. That other thread has too many pages to go through now. Thanks for reposting. Love your background, btw!

Telgarth's turn...

Oath vampiress that struck at me,
standard Bond of Pursuit
move... depending on what happens to the vampiress

jibuki wrote:Oath vampiress that struck at me,

Telgarth Bond of Pursuits the Vampiress next to him and 6+9=15, 4+9=13, miss, miss. So far, the two of you are coming nowhere close to hitting each other... maybe there's some flirting going on.

Telgarth's move action, then some baddies, then top of the order again.

Cancel move.

I think I have one more power (Shadow Step) to unlock and then I'm done.

bradly wrote:Telgarth's move action, then some baddies, then top of the order again.

Oops! Almost skipped Ashe... sorry about that.

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

Ross wrote:I think I have one more power (Shadow Step) to unlock and then I'm done.

Yeah, 3rd encounter and everyone's almost done or done. Amazing you weren't last given how many unlocks you had.

While we've been playing they Errated the drow racial powers. I can only use darkness or the Faerie fire now, so I ended up burning an unlock that I can no longer use. I picked darkness by the way.

jibuki wrote:Cancel move.

Yup... definitely seems like there's some flirting going on...

Ross wrote: I picked darkness by the way.

Seems like a pretty clear choice between the two.

Ashe will shift 5 ft SE into flanking position and second wind. I don't believe second wind draws an AoO otherwise I will shift N to be out of range of the AoO.

Krystoff wrote:Ashe will shift 5 ft SE into flanking position and second wind. I don't believe second wind draws an AoO otherwise I will shift N to be out of range of the AoO.

Ashe moves SE & flanks the dealer with the the traitor and regains 8 hits and +2 defenses.

The new Vamp with the ruffled shirt moves and charges Ashe and misses.

The traitor Selena attacks the flanked dealer and 11+11=22 hit for 5 +7 flurry and the dealer is dead, but not dusted.

The sweaty, shirtless new Vamp moves then shift/attacks the traitor and 19+13=32 hit for 14 hits, killing but not dusting Selena, and delivering an automatic 8 flurry to Ashe.

Blades turn: grab attempt on 'dead' Vamp to his S 19 v Ref hit. The Vamp is grabbed. Grab & blood drain are both standard actions. AP? Blood drain next round?


Ember's turn next '5' no cantrip...



Since she's 'dead' and can't see the 'x' anymore, I changed the traitor's halo to blue. She's the middle 'dead' token between the dead girl Blade grabbed and the 'dead' dealer.

Move 2E
Standard Scorching Burst on space 1E of vamp that is east of Ashe

Mick wrote:Move 2E

Ember moves E and summons a great ball of flame that 4+6=10vRef miss.

Blade: Let me know if you wanted to AP & blood drain or wait until your next turn. (Both grab & blood drain are standard actions)

The flirting is over and the serving girl E of Telgarth 20+11=31 critical! for 5 necrotic & 7 flurry.

The 'dead' dealer shifts N1.

Angel's turn, then telgarth '12' (last unlock?), then Ashe, then the other boss & baddies...

bradly wrote:Blade: Let me know if you wanted to AP & blood drain or wait until your next turn. (Both grab & blood drain are standard actions)

Is it still a standard action to grab a helpless creature? Its a minor action to pick up (grab) an unattended object.

Can you blood drain a "dead" undead? Can you heal a "dead" undead? In a normal game I'd say no, but am not sure in Buffy-verse...

Angel's turn:

Move: move 5E

Standard: use Twin Strike on the vampire to my SE (FoB on hit)

Free action: use Action Point
AP: use Skattering of Leaves (+5 vs Ref)
On hit push him 1 S and shift 1 SW and make a secondary attack on the vampire to the south.
On hit push secondary target 1 E and primary target 1S

Scattering of Leaves [Attack Technique]
You drive two enemies back with quick strikes, then use the momentum of your attacks to scatter other foes.

Encounter Full Discipline, Implement, Psionic
Standard Action Melee touch

Primary Target: One creature

Primary Attack: Dexterity vs. Reflex

Hit: 1d10 + Dexterity modifier damage, and you push the primary target 1 square. You then shift 1 square and make a secondary attack.

Secondary Target: One creature other than the primary target

Secondary Attack: Dexterity vs. Fortitude

Hit: 1d10 + Dexterity modifier damage, and you slide the secondary target 1 square. You then push each enemy adjacent to the secondary target 1 square from the secondary target.

Dwarmaj wrote:Is it still a standard action to grab a helpless creature?

Remember the earlier discussion, 'dead' Vamps being ruled 'helpless' was overturned. They only have a move action, but aren't helpless, occupy a square, etc.

Angel moves N of Ashe to help him out and 6+5=11, miss, 19+5=24 hit for 1hp, but still enough. The Vamp is 'dead' but not dusted. Did you still want to use your AP and attack the 'dead' Vamp?

One Left avenging shackles

Can we tell the minion from the non-minions? Do their vampire faces look any different?

Twin Strike is +8 vs AC and 1d8 damage.

I was assuming that the two next to Ashe were not minions. If the one to his east is now dead I will not use an action point.

Dwarmaj wrote:

Typically an 8th level superhero looks just like a 1st level sped, but, if you're trained and do an insight check (or if you're Undead as a Buffy-verse freebee), you can tell Vamps with normal faces from living, and older, more powerful Vamps from freshly sired.

In this case, no one did an Insight check (but you found out anyway)

jibuki wrote:One Left avenging shackles

Telgarth uses an AP and attacks the girl to his E with Bond of Pursuit and 7+9=16 miss. I think she's still Oathed, so 2nd roll 20+9=29 critical back! Once the flirting stopped, it REALLY stopped!... Telgarth very easily lops her head clean off and she explodes into dust.

Tegarth's regular turn...

I thought we agreed last time that a helpless person could be free grabbed for my blood drain.

Dwarmaj wrote:I was assuming that the two next to Ashe were not minions.

The Slayers are not out of the woods yet anyway, but would be in a LOT of trouble if your asumption were true... (& I didn't break down his roll when he missed, used the same image, to be a little deceptive. )

Ross wrote:I thought we agreed last time that a helpless person could be free grabbed for my blood drain.

Yes, but we also agreed that a 'dead' Vamp, getting only move actions, do not count as helpless.

Minor Oath vampire to the East of Ashe
Move - 4 SE, SW, W
should be Flanking with Ashe
Bond of Pursuit on that Vampire

Oh, so all the vamps are like that.
So there is no way to Knock a vampire in this world unconscious then, right? or can we declare we are knocking it out, and drop it, and it has to wait until its turn to regenerate and get up again.


Knocking Creatures Unconscious
When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points or fewer, you can choose to knock it unconscious rather than kill it. Until it regains hit points, the creature is unconscious but not dying. Any healing makes the creature conscious. If the creature doesn’t receive any healing, it is restored to 1 hit point and becomes conscious after a short rest.

jibuki wrote:Minor Oath vampire to the East of Ashe

That dind't put you flanking, but you can't get to flanking from where you were & hit anyway... 15+9=24 hit for 7 hits (min damage, but his first)

I put you 2 S of Ashe, SE of the shirtless Vamp.



Ashe's turn, then the other boss & baddies...

Ross wrote:So there is no way to Knock a vampire in this world unconscious then, right?

Definately harder. 'Dead' Vamps can be coup de graced, so if for some reason you want to capture one, you'd have to 'kill' it without dusting it, then declare so on a CDG attack. Minions and some other Vamps don't regenerate, but most do however...

But to kill you have to use a vampire killing weapon right? Or can you kill using the CDG rules?

Coup de Grace
Sometimes, you have the opportunity to attack a foe who is completely defenseless. It’s not chivalrous to do so, but it is viciously effective. This action is known as a coup de grace.

COUP DE GRACE: STANDARD ACTION

Helpless Target: You can deliver a coup de grace against a helpless enemy adjacent to you. Use any
attack power you could normally use against the enemy, including a basic attack.
Hit: You score a critical hit.

Slaying the Target Outright: If you deal damage greater than or equal to the target’s bloodied value, the target dies.

Can you move through the squares of a "dead" vamp? Do they get an attack of opportunity?

Is the yellow outlined square Selena?

Have you updated my token to indicate that I have a +2 sunblade now?

Standard: Valorous Smite (Encounter power) on the full up guy to my SW.
Move: Shift NW

No you can't. No they don't. No, she's outlined in blue, the yellow are the regular baddies. No the token isn't actually updated, but I haven't forgotten to add the +2 to your rolls...

Ashe attacks the last remaining boss and 11+11=22 barely hit for 20 hps, but you think you did more... He clearly winces from the blow, but is not quite bloodied.

A 'dead' Vamp shifts SE, the 'dead' traitor Vamp shifts SE, and the boss attacks Ashe with a claw that 7+13=20, barely misses and a flying kick also just misses Telgarth.

Top of the order, Blade '19' must use last at-will, then Ember '16' must unlock her last remaining cantrip.



Horrid round for the NPCs...

Whoops! I forgot Blade grabbed the 'dead' Vamp last round... I moved her back adjacent to Blade on Maptools. She did not escape the grab.

Free: Use Shroud on the one I'm grabbing.
Standard: Use Blood Drain on the one I have grabbed, hopefully using a Surge and using Shroud damage.
Move: Use Shadow Step and appear 1 sq to my SW.

Ross wrote:Free: Use Shroud on the one I'm grabbing.

Blade throws up a shroud and 12+2+6=20 v Fort hits for 8+6 shroud= 14 hits. (she's still 'dead'.) Blade also uses a healing surge and isn't bloodied anymore. He then teleports away from the boss.

Ember's turn...

Move 4 se
Standard her last cantrip

Mick wrote:Move 4 se
Standard her last cantrip

Ember moves and it begins raining as she unlocks her final cantrip (& suddenly thinks she figured out what she was missing in the rituals she's been practicing).

The 'dead' dealer to Angel's W shifts N, the 'dead' dealer to Ashe's E shifts E.

Angel's turn, then Telgarth '8', then Ashe...

(I think Telgarth has 1 unlock left and everyone else is finished now?)

Angel's turn:

Move: move 1W + 1SW to get into flanking position

Standard: use Skattering of Leaves encounter power. If I hit I'll use FoB, then push him 1E.

Dwarmaj wrote:Angel's turn:

Angel moves and gives he & Telgarth flanking and 6+5+2=13 v Ref, miss. 13=full, Angel still hits him for 6 hps. (you think full damage might have bloodied him, but as is he is not bloodied.)

Telgarth's turn.

I only do damage on a hit. Not sure what you mean by 13=full...

jibuki wrote:Standard - attack Vampire with Bond of Pursuit

Telgarth attacks with BoP and 16+9+2=27 hit for 13 hits. The Vampire is bloodied again.

Ashe's turn...

Ashe will attack with Virtuous Strike using the free action power to make the damage radiant.

Krystoff wrote:...using the free action power to make the damage radiant.

Virtuous Strike is already radiant...

Paladin Attack 1
