The Library 2

Thia will move W, S, S, S, SW, S, SE. That should put me 2 squares south of Karavakos and provoke an AoO. Hunter's quarry should still be on him so she will Twin Strike.

If he attacks anyone, I will use disruptive strike to try and stop at least part of the attack.

Quinn's turn...

Move straight south 5 and then charge straight south to the enemy there. Mark/continue mark depending on who it is.

Quinn's turn:
Move: move south
Standard: charge Karavakos 22 vs Ac hits for 20hp of damage (Karavakos looks to be badly damaged)

Karavakos' turn:
Minor: Sustain Mord and attack Quinn 20 vs Ref hits for 17hp of damage. Quinn is at 0hp and is unconscious.
Standard: Thunderwave on Kaddim 29 vs Fort hits for 14hp of damage and Kaddim is pushed 2 squares.
Move: move the conjured sword south, adjacent to Thia.

Thoughtbow's turn:
Minor: draw scimitar
Standard: swing on Miri 24 vs Ac miss
Move: shift 1N



Miri's turn, then Candelos, Sonya, and Kaddim

At the start of his turn doesn't he take 1D10 damage like Stu stated a few pages back?

...actually Rain of Steel is 1d10+2 (for the enchancement bonus) and yep, the wizard should take that damage at the start of his turn.

If he is close to going down then that can change the whole turn and thats why I bring it up.

...also for Rain of Steel, shouldn't Quinn receive his damage bonus for his Feat? That would give him + 1 more point of damage for 1d10+3 (and an additional +1 if the DM adds the feat bonus for the prior RoS effect).

Quinn could also receive his +2 for his Iron Armbands as there is a melee damage roll. So that would mean 1d10+5 (with an additional +3 if the DM adds both the bonuses for the prior RoS effect).

I think the wizard is going down, down, down.

David wrote:If he is close to going down then that can change the whole turn and thats why I bring it up.

Yes, it does make a difference...
I don't have a way to keep track of ongoing powers of PCs, adding it as a note during the PCs turn would be best.

Karavakos revised turn...
At the start of his turn he takes 7hp of damage from Quinn's Rain of Steel and falls.
I've added the hitpoints back to Quinn and Kaddim.
Miri's turn...

I'd say yes to the feat, but no to the armbands.

The feat says +1/tier damage with the weapon. Since the damage is 1[W], the feat should count.

The armbands state +2 damage with melee damage rolls. This one is tougher since there was no melee attack roll. It could count, I'm just not sure...

...hmmmm, there is a melee Damage roll, but no Attack or To Hit roll. The arm bands give a bonus to melee Damage rolls. Since there is a Damage roll, unlike Reaping Strike say, then the armbands probably should count in on Rain of Steel. Just my 2 cents.

Miri's turn...
...then Candelos, Sonya and Kaddim.

Teramotos wrote:Miri's turn...

Move action: shift 1 square W, south of thoughtbow

Standard action: cast 'Fire Shroud' (close burst so no AoO) (also give ongoing fire damage 5, save ends)

Free action: (smiling) "Not so tough without your henchmen about, are you?"

done.

Miri's turn:
Move: shift 1W
Standard: Fire Shroud on the thoughtbow 25 vs Fort hits for 12hp of damage. The thoughtbow is now bloodied.

Candelos' turn...

Note: if the thoughtbow moves without shifting, while it wouldn't provoke an AoO in 3.5 because of cover, that rule seems to have been taken out of 4.0. In that case, Miri will use her +2 staff fcr her melee basic attack (not her non-magic sword).

Candelos
moves: west 5 spaces to be east of Miri.
minor: Divine Challange the Thoughtbow
standard: attack with Thundering Smite (crit on 19-20) -2 att for cover
At the end of his turn he will use his action point.
standard: attack Piercing Smite -2 att for cover

Candelos is dazed again... You can only take one action.

Candelos will charge to the space east of Miri
Base attack at -2 for cover but +1 for charge
At the end of his turn he will use his action point.
standard: attack with Thundering Smite (crit on 19-20) -2 att for cover

Note: I forgot to mention the following...
When Karavakos falls a sphere of purple energy forms above his body and then hurtles out of the room (moving through the doors to the south).

You'd have to charge through the space where the tables are and they're considered difficult terrain. Candelos doesn't have enough movement to get there this round (speed 5 with a single action). Sonya may have another power to help with saves, not sure...

...Sonya "Candelos, hang on a moment and I'll tell you the best way to charge, wait for me."
Still Candelos' turn...Then Sonya's turn, unless the order changes...

Candelos will wait for Sonja's as advised

Miri as a free action: "...And stay out of MY library!!"

...sorry, home internet went down after soccer last night.

Sonya's turn:

Minor Action: Inspiring Word w Saving Inspiration on Candelos - he uses a surge and gains a saving throw against any one condition (dazed I take it).

Move and Standard Action: Move and a Move to the square in the west room that is in the very center of the room (the Thoughtbow will get an AoO on me).

Done...

Hmmm...I suppose if Candelos makes the save that Sonya granted him, then his actions as Mick initially posted will stand. If he doesn't make the save, then his his alternate action (dazed action) will stand, right?

Sorry, didn't have access to the boards today...

Sonya's turn:
Minor: Inspiring Word on Candelos, he rolls 14 and is no longer dazed.
Move/Standard: move into the west room. You provoke an AoO, scimitar 29 vs Ac hits for 11hp of damage.

Sonya notices a circular patern of runes in the square she's standing in...

Minor: Divine Challenge
Standard: Thundering Smite 23 vs Ac hits for 22hp of damage. The thoughtbow is knocked prone. He seems badly damaged and surrenders.

Since all visible monsters are down or prisoner, and Sonya doesn't like standing in the middle of what could be a trap, she'll move first toward the south wall and THEN look carefully at the runes around the room.

Teramotos wrote:Since all visible monsters are down or prisoner, and Sonya doesn't like standing in the middle of what could be a trap, she'll move first toward the south wall and THEN look carefully at the runes around the room.

The runes look like writing, but Sonya doesn't understand the language.

Move to the door, then end turn.
Next turn, run straight into room, then move West into next room.

Thia will check the "husk" of Karavakos and see if there is anything on the body. She will also stand guard against near the southern hallway where Karavakos dropped but out of the range of the statue.

I'm all for our 3rd attempt at an extended rest first, then check out the runes. (I'm for checking out Karavakos' body before an extended rest though.) The last thing we want is to accidentally trigger the runes and wind up in some 2nd level encounter...

or to miss some treasure on his body.

Karvakos has the following items of interest:
Staff
Large key around his neck. The key looks to be made of adamantine and has an inscription that Thia can't read.

Is the party going to rest before searching the roomsor after?

What is the party going to do about the statue?


This is where I currently have everyone...

Thia will move N, NE in order to be out of the range of the statue but able to try and check it out for traps and how to shut it off.

Krystoff wrote:Thia will move N, NE in order to be out of the range of the statue but able to try and check it out for traps and how to shut it off.

The trap is definetly magical in nature and you need to be adjacent to it to attempt to shut it off.

Does it have to be someone who has arcana or would Thia be able to attempt it?

Krystoff wrote:Does it have to be someone who has arcana or would Thia be able to attempt it?

Anyone can attempt... But arcane traps require the use of the Arcana skill to defeat.

Thia has a 4 in arcana but it is not trained. If Thia has a chance to disrupt it she will attempt to do so otherwise she will let Kaddim or Miri try.

I'll try. I have a 15.

...Sonya will attempt to assist Kaddim's attempt and will openly suggest that a couple other people come over to (add thier +2) help.

Thia will advise against most people helping as the statue is still bursting and has a good chance to do some serious damage. Thia still has a number of surges which is why she was contemplating doing it.

Note: The statue is still active and each round it can deal damage and daze someone. Some PCs are low on HP with few surges remaining.

Who will assist Kaddim with disabling the statue trap?

Current PC Status:
Kaddim 52/73hp with 0/11 surges
Miri 36/54hp with 3/9 surges
Candelos 37/72hp with 1/14 surges
Sonya 22/61hp with 0/9 surges
Thia 33/60hp with 4/7 surges
Quinn 17/73hp with 1/11 surges

Thia will spend two surges and will help; didn't realize I was so low. Since Kaddim is low, it might be Miri that needs to be the main person.

Thia, Candelos, and Miri assis Kaddim in disarming the magical trap on the statue.

Round 1:
On the first round Thia, Candelos, and Miri all make the DC10 check and are able to grant Kaddim a +6 bonus to his arcana check. Kaddim rolls 2+15+6 and does not disarm the trap.

The statue emmits a psychic pulse
statue vs Kaddim 26 vs Ref hits for 11hp of damage and Kaddim is dazed
statue vs Miri 24 vs Ref hits, but Miri is able to use an interrupt to negate the hit
statue vs Candelos 22 vs Ref hits for 11hp of damage and Candelos is dazed
statue vs Thia 15 vs Ref misses

Round 2:
Miri and Candelos are able to make the arcana check and grant Kaddim a +4 bonus to his check.

Kaddim rolls 18+15+4 and is able to disable the trap.

Does the party want to search this area or rest first?
Any extra security precautions? Where will the prisoner be?

Dwarmaj wrote:Does the party want to search this area or rest first?

I suggest we rest first. Since Miri is down more than a full healing surge, she will 2nd wind before attempting to extended rest.

As far as the prisoner is concerned, I don't see why we accepted his surrender. I say we finish him off or else just let him go. I doubt he speaks Common or can give us any more useful info than the other Mindvoid the Humans are watching.

We can take him back to the humans along with the mindstrike that is still there and either let them go or let the humans keep watch on them.

Dwarmaj wrote:What is the party going to do about the statue?

I say we drag the statue of Karavakos to the feet of the Vyrellis statue in the library, prone & face down... just to make sure we piss him off.

Krystoff wrote:We can take him back to the humans along with the mindstrike that is still there and either let them go or let the humans keep watch on them.

That's quite a burden on the Humans, and except for Ferrence, they're not really that powerful a party. I'm worried they'll take casualties from just the one... Since they communicate psychicly, I would guess they'd scheme a bloody escape if we put them together. ...I'd rather we just let them go than have the Humans watch them both.
