That's my point. You don't provide flanking, you need allies in flanking position on an opponent, in other words, in response to Ken's post, 'you can't provide flanking but do gain flanking'.

Brad,are you going to resolve Telgrath & Embers actions?

No time during day today... trying to cram to finish installing 100+ Earthquake straps (& we saved the most difficult ones for last...) Okay, my maintenance guy did most of the work, but a lot of it is easier with someone helping. And just my part made me tired!


Ashe and Blade (& Angelus glimpses) sees extremely large and obesely fat Vampire strolling your way...

Telgarth is not charging but using a ranged attack, so do have something to prevent OA's when using ranged?...

The Vampiress by the window catches you slightly turning your attention away from her and 12+13=25 barely hit for 15 hits. (good thing it's not her turn so doesn't get her flury!)

Ember summons a burst of flame and 8+11=19 v ref, missed by 1. She then shifts N of the Vamp.



Ashe, then (dominated Angelus), then Aura, then baddies...

Angelus: full
Ashe: 50/58 full
Aura: full
Blade: 25/50, blodied 11/11
Ember: full
Telgarth: 7/64 11/12

I moved the wrong direction, I attempted to move where Aura is currently.

But no harm, my armor protected me. I am currently AC 26.

But now you're adjacent to Angelus who is dominated... If Ashe moves, you're the only target. (and I target Ref...)

Move: Shift 1W staying adjacent to Angelus.
Standard: Valorous Smite (Enc) on the Vamp to my west. All enemies in three squares are marked by me.

AP: Second Wind

I know I will lose some healing from the second wind but I think I might need the extra +2 to all defenses.

Ashe shifts W & strikes true with Valorous Smite 11+15=26 hit for ghetto crit 8+10+5 vuln =23 hits. All 3 clan Mui Vamps are marked by Ashe. She has 2 hits left...

Ashe then APs to 2nd wind (wasting 6 heal) but is at full up and +2 all defenses.

Angelus' dominated turn... Ashe's ref 22+2 (from 2nd wind)=24... almost! No save needed, Angelus isn't dominated anymore, though the girls are looking intently at Angelus & Ashe.

Ashe is down 18 hits and about to face all of clan Mui after Ember's turn...

Oops!

Looks like Ashe just took the heat off you anyway with the mark. Nice armor, added 15 hits back.

wounded Slayers:

Telgarth: 22/64 bloodied
Blade: 25/50 bloodied
Ashe: 40/58

Ember went before Ashe. I think it's Aura's turn.

Yes, that's what I meant, then baddies... (plus the big baddie coming that Aura can't see!)

Move action - shift one SE. Move spirit companion one east of that square (should be one N of Ashe).
Minor Action - Healing Spirit. Telgarth can spend a healing surge. Ashe gets 2d6 HP.
Standard Action - Steadfast Mountain Guardian on vamp N of Blade. If it hits, push vamp two squares SW.

Free action - "Stay near my spirit if you can!"

Until the end of my next turn I and all allies gain +5 to all defenses while adjacent to my spirit companion.

Aura moves and heals Telgarth for 16, not bloodied & regen suppressed, and Ashe for 3. Spirit Companion 21 v ref hit exactly for 9 damage, 'killing' it but not dusting it, and pushing it 2 squares.

baddies turn...

the girls 18 & 19 try to temp Ashe & Angelus but their mental defenses are too tough. They then shape change to completely different hotties of your races.

the 'dead' Vamp does a full move E, circling around Blade.

The other 2 clan Mui Vamps shift/attack to flank Ashe and 18+13+2CA+=33 barely hit, and 15+13+2=30 miss! (Ashe needed the +5 AND 2nd wind...) Ashe takes 13+8 flurry and is bloodied.

Blade's turn, then Telgarth...

After Blade, got it. (but I don't think you get +2 Longtooth since you were healed & not bloodied?)

I believe he only has to be bloodied to activate it. Once activated he gets the +2 until the end of the encounter.

Blade's turn?

Oh crap. Didn't notice it was my turn. Thanks Ken.

Free: Throw a Shroud on the one I'm flanking.
Move: Shadow Step 3 NW
Standard: Executioner's Noose on the one I Shrouded, but don't use Shroud damage.

Telgarth circles around and charges with a 34 crit. Damage (I think) is 17+2, +1d0=5, +1d6=3, +2 longtooth, for 29 hits! Vamp is now barely bloodied.

Luke walks around the corner into the room and holds an arm up to Angelus, but 19 miss and isn't pulled into his clutches... Darn it! Not the first impression I was hoping he'd make...

Ember, Ashe, Angelus, Aura, then baddies...

free: say "I'll try and slow down fatboy"
standard: Bigby's Icy Grasp in space W of the big guy
It will attack him.

The enormous Vampire looks like a love-child between Arnold & Jabba, and 12+12=24 v ref is grabbed by the giant ice hand for 32 cold damage.

Ember then APs and 12+11=23 v ref hit Luke, and 17+11=28 hit girl. Luke shrugs a bit at the 53 hits he just took and looks at Ember, "Okay little girl, you can be first." The girl, who pretty much most of the party could have minor (religion) takes 1 hit and resisted the rest of the fire damage...

Ashe's turn...

Nobody moved, but here's an updated map showing BIG in yellow (Spirit in green) and Luke's damage from Ember...

The map doesn't show my 2W movement

Pissed off fatboy did I.

Sorry guys, battling sickness.

I will use virtuous strike(at will) on the one I am flanking.

Angelus' turn:
Move: use Five Storms movement to shift 1SW+1S

Standard: use Five Storms attack on the two vampires (FoB on the wounded one)



Notes: +1 AC/Ref after shifting.

Angelus shifts through Ashe's square to hit 2 at once and 28, 19 v ref, hit & barely miss for 16 hits, not enough, but the 8 flurry finishes her off. She is 'dead' but not dusted.

Aura's turn, then baddies...

Shoot longbow at "dead" vamp S of me. No other actions this turn.

Trevor wrote:Shoot longbow at "dead" vamp S of me. No other actions this turn.

Aura wastes a crit & dusts the dead Vamp.

Baddies turn...

girls go... 27, 17 v will on Ashe & Angelus. Ashe is dominated.

'dead' Vamp moves full to/down stairs.

last clan Mui Vamp, yay!, 19+13=32 hit for 17 hits on Angelus +8 flurry on Ashe.

Blade, Telgarth, Luke, Ember, Ashe, Angelus, Aura, girls, Mui Vamp...

Angelus: 42/59 13/13
Ashe: 14/58 12/13 bloodied, dominated
Aura: 58/58 12/12 full
Blade: 25/50 11/11 bloodied

Are the tables an obstacle? It looks like a dead vamp is in the middle of one of them.

Blade had to move full to get to 'dead' Vamp without provoking, but 27AC hit, dusting the fleeing Vamp.

jibuki wrote:Are the tables an obstacle? It looks like a dead vamp is in the middle of one of them.

The Slayers & Vamps are agile enough to jump on top of the very nice desks, so they are there, but not an obstacle to movement.

minor - oath the southern most mind control vamp
move - sw, sw, sw
standard - abjure undead dam 4d10 + 10 radiant, don't want to pull target.
half dam on miss
AP - charge same vamp(I want to end up to the S of the vamp so if I have to move further S during movement do so.

Telgarth Oaths the S GIRL, moves, and casts Abjure Undead, but she is not a legal target (i.e. not Undead, which again, anyone could have done a knowledge religion check...). Telgarth has 3 legal targets to choose from in close burst 5: Angelus, the last clan Mui Vamp, or Luke (barely!) who is currently grabbed by a giant ice hand.

Telgarth's actions still: which target & still/same AP?

Note: the other girl also resisted 20 fire from Ember, and they've been shapeshifting... and smoking hot, hotter then Ember...

22 isn't that much hotter!

Fatboy's turn?

Mick wrote:22 isn't that much hotter!

Fatboy's turn?

I see someone's been looking up monsters...

Would be, but waiting on Telgarth's revised actions..

abjure undead on fat boy, still charge the s non undead target.

Is it a minor to do a religion check?
If not do that too.

jibuki wrote:abjure undead on fat boy, still charge the s non undead target.

Telgarth 29 v will hits the Sculpter for 24 radiant damage, but you think you did a lot more.

Telgarth then charges with an AP and 17, 29 hit for 11+1d10=10+1d6=5+2=28 hits.

Luke's turn...

Standard: 27 v Ember's fort, success, escaped grab. Move: 1NW+5W. Then, doing a trick you've all only seen yourselves & Mercury do, spends an AP and 32 success. Ember meets Luke's eyes, then next thing she knows she slid adjacent to him with his extremely strong claws wraping around her neck. Ember doesn't take damage (yet), but is grabbed & has ongoing 10 necrotic. (His left arm is doing nothing and appears to be carrying Ember effortlessly at arms length with just his right...) In his deep voice to Ember, "So you kids took out a cadra of Vampires, not impressed. Who couldn't have done that?"



Ember's turn, then dominated Ashe, then Angelus, Aura, girls, Mui Vamp, Blade, Telgarth, Luke, Ember...

jibuki wrote:Is it a minor to do a religion check?

Forgot to roll this... They're Succubi if anyone hasn't figured that out.

Since she isn't train in Acrobatics or Athletics, odds are slim she will escape.

She will:
Minor: sustain Bigby's Icy Grasp
Move: move BIG east of fatboy
Standard: attack fatboy with the BIG

Attack: Intelligence vs. Reflex
cold damage, and the hand grabs the target.
Mindwarp staff of Ruin +2: 2d8+18 damage

I bet his reflex isn't so good be a fat-so, BIG has a 50/50 chance of hitting.
And being grabbed, he'll have to burn his standard to escape.

Oh what was the ruling again about conjures flanking?

At the start of her turn, Ember takes 10 necrotic then Ember moves the BIG and she might have been right, but 7+11=18 still isn't good enough against his ref. End of her turn she rolls an '8' and is still taking ongoing.

<WotC pretty clearly ruled 'no' in one of Ken's posts>

Ashe's turn...

Dang it! Had to go back & check the threads for your last turn... Ashe misses Angelus with a virtuos strike that hit AC25. Good thing you had the +1 AC, Ashe hits pretty hard!

Ashe regains his senses & Angelus' turn...

Angelus' turn:

Minor: use Fighting Fury

Standard: attack the vampire with Fallen Needle attack power (FoB on hit)

Move: shift 1SW

Notes:
+1 AC/Ref from shifting
+5 damage on melee attacks (Fallen Needle is melee...) from FF

Angelus summons extra power from a daile and 31 hits for 15+5+8 flurry=28 hits, then shifts away. She is almost bloodied.

Aura's turn, then girls, then Mui Vamp...

Move action - shift 1 South

Standard action - Claws of the Eagle on Mui Vamp, granting basic attack to Ashe.

Minor action - Spirit of the Keeper on Ashe. He gets to spend a healing surge + 1d6 HP. Additionally, while adjacent to my spirit companion, allies do not grant combat advantage for the rest of the encounter.

PS: I'm out of healing now so spend your second winds from now on if you still have them.

Aura shifts and inspires the guy who was flirting with her to take an extra swing and 31 hits for 18+5 vuln. She is very bloodied. Ashe also regains 19 hits and is no longer bloodied.

baddies turn...

S girl tries to kiss Telgarth, but he just barely avoided her sensuous lips (AC22, Will30).

N girls then dominates Telgarth Will23.

Mui Vampiress shift/attacks SW1 and hits Aura AC24 for 12 hits, and flurries on Angelus for 8 more. She then shifts SE.

Blade, (dominated) Telgarth, then Luke (fatboy)...



Angelus: 34/59 13/13
Ashe: 33/58 11/13
Aura: 46/58 12/12
Blade: 25/50 11/11 bloodied
Ember: 40/50 11/11 grabbed, ongoing necrotic 10
Telgarth: 38/64 10/12 dominated (1 turn, no save)

Since claws of the eagle hit, the Mui vampiress grants combat advantage until the end of my next turn.
