minor: sustain BIG. turn BIG in direction of the cops facing it SE.
Maybe it will look threating and draw the cops attention.

standard: run 8 NW towards stairs
move: run to top of the stairs, taking cover but keeping LOS with BIG

Ember does a 2x run 15 to the top of the stairs against the N wall, and the animate giant ice hand does indeed draw the attention of everybody. You don't think anyone knows quite what to make of it.

(Since Aura started the hostilities... ) baddies' turn...

Mercury takes 5 vuln, barely bloodying her, from Telgarth's sunsword, then with her minor action morphs from her Vampire face into her Human, short platinum blond way skinny (psycho eyed) hottie young girl just as she teleports to the top of the stairs adjacent to Ember, then again to the bottom of the stairs near the entrance to the bathrooms. She is now out of Telgarth's sunsword light, but hasn't started regenerating yet.

The HSTU officers secure other rooms, post an officer at each window & doorway, the rest "You are clear to fire! Repeat, you are clear to fire!"

2 officers go to Wendy to admin first aid then declaring her dead.

2 officers secure 'dead' falchion Vamp, who surrenders, regenerating and just barely still 'dead'...

3 officers move to Spirit, I assume stops movement (otherwise they'd move farther)

9 take shots, the 1 at Ember 4+12=16vAC-5 run miss, 2 fire at Blade 15+12=27, 16+12=28, hit/hit for 20 damage. Blade is bloodied. 2 fire at Telgarth 15+12=hit exactly, 12+12=24 miss. Telgarth takes 14 & has 1/64, though will regen 2... 2 shoot at Ashe & both 16+12=28 hit for 10+8=18 damage. Last 2 shoot at Aura and 8+12=20, 12+12=24 miss/hit for 12 hits.

Angelus & Mercury are halo'd in black and underneath token in basement level, and Mercury is now female Eladrin token (not wearing Vamp face any more)

Top of the order...
Aura: 24/58 10/12 bloodied
Ashe: 10/58 12/13 bloodied
Angelus: 31/59 9/13
Telgarth: 1/64 11/12 bloodied, weakened, regen 2
Blade: 22/50 10/11 bloodied
Ember: 20/50 11/11 bloodied
baddies...

I think I should have 3 hits, did I regenerate last round?

Ashe will run to the stairs and follow Angelus as far as he can. He will pull a potion as his minor but I don't think he can drink it this round.

Krystoff wrote:Ashe will run to the stairs and follow Angelus as far as he can. He will pull a potion as his minor but I don't think he can drink it this round.

Ashe does a 2x run down the stairs while drawing a potion, after Aura's turn... does someone want to post for her? Angelus is after Ashe...

Angelus will do a run/run to get to the door (I think I'm 14 away from the door) and use a minor action to open it (if passive perception doesn't detect anything...).

Note: not going to let Mercury through once I'm at the door.

minor - pull potion
move - run following Angelus
standard - run following Angelus

Unless Aura has a minor action heal on her I would say she does a run/run downstairs with the rest of us. If she does have a heal it goes on Telgarth.

Spirit stops movement and deafens if it rolls a hit on its opportunity action when something walks by.

Aura has no healing left, so she'll book it for the basement. Run and Run.

Trevor wrote:Spirit stops movement and deafens if it rolls a hit ... book it for the basement. Run and Run.

We'll say last round he 'rolled' a hit then. Aura, Ashe, Telgarth all run down the stairs to just before Mercury, wearing her blond hottie face. Angeluss 2x runs to and unlocks to padlock on the sewer grate. Still another minor action to open, same 5' vertical tunnel with built in iron ladder on the wall. The sewers are 20' below the surface.

Blade, Ember, baddies... you two are the only ones still up top.

jibuki wrote:I think I should have 3 hits, did I regenerate last round?

2x checked, yes, you're right. You had 15, regen'd to 17, then took 14 to 3. You'll start you're next turn regening to 5. (after baddies go...)

Move and Move down stairs.

Ember turn

minor: sustain BIG
move: move BIG to space SE of Ember. I'm betting none of the cops will be daring enough to move adjacent or past the BIG.
standard: run 8 E down the stairs. Does Ember have LOS still to BIG?
free: say " let get the door open guys, BIG isn't going to hold off the cops off for long"

Ember can only move BIG 6, so 1 shy of desired spot, but yes, you have LOS. Officers do single moves in pursuit, & light up BIG. I don't think they can dispel or harm it, let me know if wrong & I'll roll to-hits, otherwise, chunks of ice still come flying off as they shoot, while a magical icy mist instantly repairs it as new.

Mercury's skin burns for 5 sunlight, but even with her Human face, sucky rolls, Telgarth 23vwill, Blade 19, Aura 15, Ember 19, Ashe 20. Telgarth takes 3 hits (exactly zero hits) and as he falls, is pushed 3 sq directly behind Blade and slowed & -2 will attacks (save ends both). (I think that hit Telgarth's will exactly... let me know if you have an interrupt or something. Marks don't matter since attack included everybody.) She then shifts 1 W (Ashe is first step around bottom of stairs) so she gets AoO on anyone moving by her...

from above, "Are you seeing what I think I'm seeing?" "What'll we do sir?" "Our targets ran right by that thing, so will we." Some appear to be taking posts at the doors & windows, the rest seem to be pursuing (not that the PCs would know precisely).

Top of the order... (Mercury is barely bloodied & still has very nice ring)

Don't think they can effect BIG

Question for next round.
Can Ember
minor sustain BIG
and then ready action my standard and move?

Mick wrote:Don't think they can effect BIG

You can use your minor to sustain, then ready a standard action.

The standard action could be to move, but you couldn't get a standard and a move.

Telgarth will use his Avenger's Resolve immediate interupt and have resist 5 vs all damage

Standard - second wind

minor - summon spirit companion at bottom of stairs, 1 N of Mercury.

Move - head toward grate (Spirit companion adds defense against OA. 5 I think).

jibuki wrote:Telgarth will use his Avenger's Resolve immediate interupt and have resist 5 vs all damage

Telgarth eluded the dropping blow and is still barely up...

Trevor wrote:Standard - second wind...

Aura already 2nd winded (the round we went for you). Revised actions?

Trevor wrote:Spirit companion adds defense against OA. 5 I think

Look that up... Mercury positioned herself to hopefully take a couple!

Dwarmaj wrote:

Correct. You could also move now then ready an action, but the 'ready action' is a standard action activity and can be used to ready any standard or move action, but can't ready both.

Angelus' turn:

Minor: open the door

Free: Take a look to see what's on the other side

Standard:
If the area is clear, ready an action to use Fallen Needle attack against an adjacent enemy.

If there is a enemy, I'll need to revise my standard action and possibly take my move action.

Minor - drink healing potion
Move - Max move toward gate
Standard - second wind

On Angelus' turn, I'll say the basement floor is 8' below ground level, so the vertical tunnel is 12' more until it joins with the 8' diameter round sewer network that weaves N/S/W/E 20' underneath all of Los Diables, interconnecting usually every 50' to 150'. This infrastructure below the city, and the larger tunnels 20' farther below, both seem to have been constructed centuries ago and seem like they should last many many more.

This sewer entrance connects to a N/S tunnel with connecting E/W forks 70' N or 15' S. It is completely dark and Angelus does not see nor hear any baddies below, though he doesn't have view of much of the tunnels below from where he is.

jibuki wrote:Minor - pull potion

Still waiting on Aura's revised actions. Telgarth only ingores AoO's for charging, right? Mercury would get one if Telgarth runs past her, normally... & since you get a bonus to defenses, usually 2nd wind then provoke...

Where am I in relation to Mercury? I can't really tell.

jibuki wrote:Did I get oa as she passed me?

Nope. She teleported twice.

Ok, spirit companion stuff:

Any ally triggering an AoO by leaving a square adjacent to the spirit companion gets +5 defense against the attack.

Any enemy leaving a square adjacent to the spirit companion in a way that would normally trigger an AoO instead triggers the World Speaker's Command power. Wisdom+9 vs. will, on hit target stops moving, is deafened, and slowed. Target can resume movement with another action.

Revised actions:

Minor - summon spirit companion 1 square W of Mercury

Standard - Steadfast Mountain Guardian on Mercury. Wisdom+9 vs. Fortitude. If hits, pushes Mercury 2 squares East. Until the end of my next turn, any ally adjacent to my spirit companion gets +6 to all defenses.

If it misses, use elven accuracy to re-roll.

Move action - if it hit her and she was pushed out of the way, head for grate. If not, shift SW.

Use minor action to take out a light/sunrod.

Use standard action to ready Fallen Needle attack if an enemy moves adjacent.

Brad,

I'm going to revise actions, but I need to know how far Mercury is from me. Who is between us?

I can't tell from the map what order we are on the stairs.

Wow, great turn... Aura attacks with SMG and 16vfort misses, but uses her magical inherent racial abilities to redirect, 24 hit exactly for 11 hits & pushed 2.

Ashe's turn, then Angelus (as above) & Telgarth, Blade, Ember, baddies...

Mercury is no longer blocking the stairs, having been pushed 2 E out of place, Ashe is where the corner soonest turns S (cannot cut that corner).

Hmm, pushing Mercury 1E+1NE probably would have been better. That way she wouldn't get AoO as people went by.

Angelus:
Hey guys hurry up, the coast is clear so far...

"Time to die"

Minor: Dragon Breath on Mercury (If I already used this then drink potion)
Move: Shift 1E
Standard: Valorous Smite (Encounter) and Mercury is subject to Divine Sanction so she is at a -2 to everyone but me.

I don't think Mercury gets AoO. You can't cut the corner to where Ashe is from the square my spirit companion is in, but you can move through Ashe's square southward if you come from the square 1 N of him.

Also Brad, did you not do my move action from my last turn? Aura is still where she was before on the new map.

Oops, exactly right on both Mercury's AoO & Aura is 7 farther S down basement.

Ashe drinks a potion (used breath when switched initiative order with Aura) and regains 10 hits to 20/58 11/13. I also have VS used, but don't remember when. Flame Spiral & Call Challenge are your encounters, you have both dailies, & AP. Revised standard (&/or move)?

Mercury is barely bloodied, and your 18 passive perception up close, you notice her nice ring has a Dragonborn emblem just like one you saw a picture of on some ancient fabled hero. (Looks exactly like the one Telgarth is holding...)

Awww of course it's the ring I want on her finger. I know I am so going to miss my save to grab that thing.

Majestic Halo replaces valorous smite (miss = half damage) and Virtuous Strike will be my AP. If I hit with virtuous strike I get a +2 on saving throws.

Ashe launches a series of fine cuts that MH 19 miss for 18+5vuln=23/2=11 damage still, VS 26 hits exactly for 19+5 vuln. She is very bloodied for her, but 1 more hit won't do it (unless it's one of Blade's super attacks!)

Angelus went already as posted, Telgarth wanted to revise actions, then Blade, then Ember, then baddies...

Standard: Targeted for Death on Mercury.
Free: throw 2 Shroud on her.
Move: Shadow Step to the square SW of Mercury.

After Telgarth, but you'll have to teleport to Mercury's S, since Ashe shifted to her SW.

Oh, Telgarth will have to delay until after you, since he's the only one left adjacent to you...

Heck I can just move there.

Who's turn...

Looks like we are waiting on Telgrath revised action
then for Brad to resolve Blades actions.

I was waiting for Brad.

Where is Mercury in relation to Telgarth? I can't really tell with the map provided.

If I can't make it through with out getting a OA from Mercury Telgarth's actions are.

Minor - drink healing potion
Move - run toward the door
Standard - Second Wind

Did Blade want Telgarth to delay?

Looking at the map, it looks like Telgrath is 6 spaces W of Mercury
Because Aura pushed her 2 E, it looks like we can pass her without any AoO.
That's the way I see the map.

Mercury is the female eladrin token (the only other one that isn't a PC besides cops). Thanks to Aura's push, you have a clear path to run 6+2 toward the grate. Telgarth regens 2, gains 10 (-1 surge) from potion, then regains another 16 from 2nd wind. He is barely still bloodied 31/64 9/12 At the end of his turn, '7' is still weakened.

Ross wrote:Standard: Targeted for Death on Mercury.

Blade would have to move, then TfD, 20vwill, big miss 20 cold full/ 10 half, He then throws 2 shrouds on her.

Ember's turn, then baddies. The cops are definitely proceeding with caution near the BIG, but as per their training, are proceeding nonetheless. You are pretty sure they would not cut a corner to go around it if possible (i.e. is costing them 2 extra squares of movement to get to you). Mercury is almost exactly at 1/4 of her hits.

minor: sustain BIG for the last time to slow down the cops
move: run 2SE and 6 S
standard: MM Mercury to soften her up, all her other powers are fire ?d?+20 which may dust her.

Say, "Place the Spirit on the top of the stairs next to the Hand to stop them from coming down.

Mercury takes 8 hits from Ember's MM while she maintains the BIG & runs S. At the start of Mercury's turn she takes 5 more instead of regenerating, teleports NE of Ember and does her 'Song of Lover's Departed' Telgarth 18vwill, Blade 19, Aura 27, Ember 33 crit, Ashe 27. Aura, Ember, & Ashe take 3 hits and are slowed (save ends) and pushed 3 squares. To the 3 she slowed, "Uh oh, looks like the bad guys are going to get you!"

Terror Unit all do 2x moves except ones gaurding entrances or hostage (Slayers can't see this, but he feigns sickness and when he gets back up, he's wearing his Human face (some Calvin Klein model looking dude) as he's recovered back to Unlife, though still very injured. The adjacent officers to him bound him with plastic ziptie cuffs..

Top of the order...

Aura: 21/58 10/12 bloodied, slowed
Ashe: 17/58 11/13 bloodied, slowed
Angelus: 31/59 9/13
Telgarth: 31/64 9/12 bloodied, weakened, regen 2
Blade: 22/50 10/11 bloodied
Ember: 17/50 11/11 bloodied, slowed

baddies...



Note: Ashe is just off NE of map toward the bathrooms. All the Slayers are in the basement level, all the Terror Unit officers are on ground floor, though some are headed toward basement. Mercury is the female Eladrin token near middle of map by Wendy's corpse.

@ Blade: "Little late for that now. I have to be able to see it!"

Oops, double posted instead of editing this one. See next post for actions.

Move - Go to one square E of Telgarth; move spirit companion 1 square E of its current location to make sure I keep LoS.

Standard - Shoot Longbow at Mercury's head.

Trevor wrote:Move - Go to one square E of Telgarth; move spirit companion 1 square E of its current location to make sure I keep LoS.

Aura & Spirit both move a little, then Aura 21vAC misses Mercury. At the end of her turn '17' not slowed anymore.

Ashe, Angelus, Telgarth, Blade, Ember...

Ashe will do a run and a run south.
