Would flanking matter against a pillar? (Mick, note spelling!) :-)

How much more damage do we think the SW pillar can take before the creature within is loose? What about the others? (i.e. are they all equally damaged?)

Ross wrote:Minor: Aegis of Shielding on the creature in the center column (if I can)

Kaddim's turn:
Minor: There are no enemies that you can see. (action not used)
Move: move south of Miri
Standard: Swordburst (no enemies in range that can be affected)


Candelos' turn...

The pillar that Miri hit doesn't look like it can take much more damage.

The other pillars don't look damaged, but Candelos did notice a crack from the pillar that Miri hit to the other pillars. No one knows if destroying one pillar will destroy the other or not.

Dwarmaj wrote:No one knows if destroying one pillar will destroy the other or not.

Well, we may not KNOW, but we've all played D&D long enough to have our suspicions! :-/

At the end of Kaddim's turn he rolled a 12 and is no longer slowed.

Currently Candelos' turn...

Is the SW Pillar the one that Miri struck at, and the one I'm adjacent to?

Ross wrote:Is the SW Pillar the one that Miri struck at, and the one I'm adjacent to?

Yes

Minor action one heart one mind
Standard action strike the SW pillar

Candelos' turn:
One Heart One Mind has already been used...
https://nwgamers.forumotion.com/online-role-play-gaming-f14/into-the-fire-room-t483-60.htm#5562

Standard: Candelos strikes the SW pillar 27 vs Ac hits for 14hp of damage.
Candelos destroys the SW pillar, which in turn has a cascading affect and also destroys the other pillars (Brad, your suspicions were correct... ).

Inside each pillar is a medium sized undead creature.


Thia has a shot at the NE, center, and SW creatures. The NE and SW both have cover. Which creature does Thia want to shoot at?

Candelos, you still have a minor and move action remaining. Is there anything you want to use your actions for?

Krystoff wrote:Thia will shoot the center creature she has a clear shot on.

Thia's readied action (changes her initiative...)
Twin Strike on the center creature.
TS #1 21 vs Ac miss
TS #2 33 vs Ac (critical) hit for 17+4 hp of damage.



Candelos has a minor and move action remaining...

no move action
minor will be to divine challange the enemy west of him

After Candelos takes his turn, the undead make their move...

The area where the pillars were have lots of icy rubble and are difficult terrain.

The NW and center undead move and attack Miri
Undead #2 Slam attack on Miri 20 vs Ac miss
Undead #3 Slam attack on Miri 19 vs Ac miss

The NE undead moves and attacks Candelos. The SW and SE are flanking Candelos and attack.
Undead #5 Slam attack on Candelos 24 vs Ac hits for 7hp of cold damage. Candelos is immobilized (save ends) and is not taking ongoing cold damage (save ends).
Undead #4 Slam attack on Candelos 18+2 vs Ac miss
Undead #1 Slam attack on Candelos 14+2 vs Ac miss

Top of the order...
The party is hit by the Frigid Aura (it doesn't look like the undead are phazed by the cold...)
Frigid Aura on Kaddim 15 vs Fort miss. Kaddim takes 1hp of cold damage.
Frigid Aura on Miri 12 vs Fort miss. Miri takes 1hp of cold damage.
Frigid Aura on Candelos 24 vs Fort hits for 2hp of cold damage. Candelos is Slowed (save ends).
Frigid Aura on Sonya 11 vs Fort miss. Miri takes 1hp of cold damage.
Frigid Aura on Thia 10 vs Fort miss. Thia takes 1hp of cold damage.

Now the nasty part...

Miri's turn...
At the start of Miri's turn she notices that the undead creatures are putting out an aura of cold (which overlap and stack with each other, according to the MM).
Miri takes 20hp of cold damage (5 from each undead within 2).



Miri's turn...

One last thing...
Candelos hears a crash of ice similar to that of the pillars collapsing coming from the room to the south.

Ouch! That is nasty!

Miri will...

standard action: cast 'Fire Shroud'. (close burst 3, so should affect all the undead, no AoO, and hopefully they take extra damage from fire...)

minor action: encounter power from boots to shift 1 sq W + 1 sq NW

move action: move 2 sq W

action point: (if available) cast 'Enemies Abound' on sq E of where Miri was (to get 4 undead). If hits, all affected are considered allies for flanking purposes until end of next turn.

Free action: "I'm nipping out hard... let's drop these things quickly!"

Ken, before Sonya's turn (well after I take damage at the start of my turn), I'll need the current hits of all the party members so I know who I have to heal.

Teramotos wrote:Ken, before Sonya's turn (well after I take damage at the start of my turn), I'll need the current hits of all the party members so I know who I have to heal.

They're probably not going to split up their auras, so you and the boys would be the best to heal. Unless we can drop the wounded one this round, Candelos is going to take 25 aura damage!

Miri's turn:
Standard: Fire Shroud (good choice)
FS vs Undead #1 27 vs Fort hits for 12hp of damage.
FS vs Undead #2 21 vs Fort hits for 12hp of damage.
FS vs Undead #3 22 vs Fort hits for 12hp of damage.
FS vs Undead #4 23 vs Fort hits for 12hp of damage.
FS vs Undead #5 28 vs Fort hits for 12hp of damage.

Looks like Miri hit all five. Each one looks like they took more than 12hp. Each one now has ongoing 5 fire damage (save ends).

Minor: Miri uses her boots to shift 1W + 1NW
Move: Miri moves 2W

Sorry, no Action Point. This is encounter #2 since the extended rest.

Current PC Status: (before Sonya's turn)
Thia 46/60hp with 6/7 surges
Kaddim 62/73hp with 4/11 surges
Candelos 54/71hp with 10/14 surges
Miri 29/54hp with 9/9 surges
Sonya 55/61hp with 4/9 surges

Sonya's turn:
At the start of Sonya's turn she takes 15hp of cold damage from 3 of the undead enemies.




Note:
Just before Miri's turn pounding can be heard on the doors south of the party. It doesn't look like the doors are passable yet, but what every is on the other side will be through next round...

free action say "It may be time to exit the room and try and hold them at the door. sound like things are going to get worse in here"
I can remember if it was post but is Candelos the only one that can use the orb's teleport power?

Mick wrote:free action say "It may be time to exit the room and try and hold them at the door. sound like things are going to get worse in here"

No one else has tried... But Candelos is the only one Vyrellis communicates to.

You haven't used them (and I know I've posted them before...), but Vyrellis has other powers in addition to the teleport.

Because of Candelos' bond with Vyrellis she grants:
Property: +2 bonus to Arcana, History, and Religion checks
Power (encounter) Move Action Teleport 7.
Power (daily) Standard Action. You are surrounded by a cyclone of biting cold. Creatures that begin their turn adjacent to you take 1d6 cold damage and are slowed until the start of your next turn.
Property: +1 Will defense
Power (Daily) Standard Action. Close Burst 3; +13 vs Will; 2d6+3 psychic damage and the target is dazed (save ends). Affects enemies and allies, but not you.

There is one property and one power that hasn't been revieled yet. Vyrellis needs an another piece of her life force to activat them.

Just go Candelos. Sonya, you get moving too.

Hmm...

It looks like the powers were revieled, but they're not suppost to be active yet.

https://nwgamers.forumotion.com/online-role-play-gaming-f14/the-library-t419-15.htm#4470

The Resist 10 Radiant and Invisibility powers are currently not active.

Oh, must have missed the post that added

Not my turn

Miri: "Not yet. Fire hurt them and they'll take that again next round (at least). I say all of us that can, switch to fire, and we wait & see what comes through the door..."

Sonya's Turn: Standard Action - Hammer and Avil on the one to my NW. +13 vs AC 1d12+6 and then as a free action Kaddim gets a melee basic attack (same target) but with + 2 hit (flanking) and + 5 damage (warlord power).

Minor Action - Inspiring Word on Miri (only one who can get full benefit) Surge + 2d6 points healed
Move Action - Shift 1 East
Free Action - Say "Candelos, if you can heal me a little bit that would be good, but it's not critical."
Done...

Sonya's turn:
Minor: Inspiring Word. Inspiring Word is a Burst 5, Miri is 6 squares away and out of range. Do you want to use it on yourself or another PC?

Standard: Hammer and Anvil vs Undead #4 15 vs Ref miss. No bonus attack on a miss.

Move: Sonya shifts 1E

Kaddim's turn, then Thia and Candelos
At the start of Kaddim's turn he takes 20hp of cold damage from four undead creatures within 2 squares of him.

I'll heal Candelos who is the next most wounded instead of Miri.
When I heal Candelos, I'll use saving inspiration and forgo the extra 2d6 hits of healing and let Candelos make a save against any one condition on him of his choice. Candelos still gets to use a healing surge which should put him pretty close to his max.

One healing surge puts him exactly at max...

I'm assuming he wants to save against the ongoing damage. He rolls a 14 and is no longer affected by the ongoing cold damage.





Kaddim's turn...

Did they all run away?

Move: Shift 1 Northeast
Minor: Mark #4 (I believe that's the one to my S)
Standard: Sword burst

Sword Burst
A sweep of your sword blasts those around you with force.
At-Will Arcane, Force, Implement
Standard Action Close burst 1
Targets: Each enemy in burst
Attack: Intelligence vs. Reflex

Swordburst on Undead #4 33 vs Ref (critical) hits for 15+6hp of damage

I'm assuming you're not using the frost enchantment of your sword...




Thia's turn

You assume correctly.
Don't forget that I marked #4.

Ken, do you have me in the right place? I think you shifted me west instead of east.

Teramotos wrote:Ken, do you have me in the right place? I think you shifted me west instead of east.

Sorry, how's this:




Thia's turn...

Yep, in the right spot now. Thanks.
Free Action: Sonya "Thia, try to down the one next to Kaddim to the east."

Krystoff wrote:Minor HQ the closest one which appears to be the one east of Kaddim

Action: Twin Strike the one I HQ'd

PS: How are we handling Spitting Cobra since it got nerfed for this campaign? The new way or the old way?

The closest enemy is the undead to the NW of Kaddim. Do you want to HQ that one? Or just attack the one east of Kaddim.

We always use the latest rulings... If something gets nerfed too much, then the player has the option to swap out the nerfed ability with something else.

Agree, we always go by the latest ruling. Thia should be allowed to swap out that power however, for "free".

Thia's turn: (going to assume she's attacking the undead east of Kaddim)

Move: Spitting Cobra Stance
Standard: Twin Strike undead #3 (east of Kaddim)
TS #1 26 vs Ac hits for 10hp of damage.
TS #2 29 vs Ac hits for 11hp of damage.

Undead #3 explodes in a blast of cold...
Death Burst (close burst 1)

DB on Candelos 21 vs Fort hits for 11hp of cold damage. Candelos is slowed (save ends).

At the end of Thia's turn she makes two saves:
Save vs Slow #1 12 success
Save vs Slow #2 8 failed

Thia is still slowed.

Candelos' turn...
At the start of Candelos turn he takes 20hp of cold damage from 4 undead enemies within 2 squares.

I think WotC nerfed my sword power too. (Reckless Sword) I will change it out after the encounter.
Looks like Kaddim need healing worse than Sonya.
Minor: last lay-on hand to Kaddim (I loss a surge)
Move: shift SW so he is flanking w/ Kaddim
I can access the WotC update to see if the Reckless power on my sword is still a free action.
If it is I'll use it.
Standard: attack with Holy Strike which is radiant damage @ +2 att (flk) +4 dam (reck)

Reckless Weapon

Weapon: Any melee except reach weapons
Power (Encounter): Free Action.
Use this power before making a melee attack against an adjacent target. You gain a power bonus to that attack's damage roll equal to twice this weapon's enhancement bonus. You take a -2 penalty to AC until the end of your next turn.

Candelos' turn:
Minor: Lay on Hands on Kaddim. Candelos looses a surge and Kaddim regains HP.
Move: Shift SW (note Candelos is Immobilized and can't shift) Did you want to use a teleport instead or just attack from where you're at?

Krystoff wrote:Messed up my cardinal directions =)

Yeah I meant to attack the one east of Kaddim. In my brain I saw it as the one NW of Kaddim.

Should Candelos have taken 15HP because of the cold aura since there were only three undead at the start of his turn? Or does the aura linger even after the thing dies?

The aura have a 2 square range... He would have taken 25hp, but Thia killed one so only 4 are in range now.

...Ken, don't forget, just after Sonya's next turn starts (or just before her turn), I'd like the summary of hits and conditions for the party so I know who to heal or grant saves to. Whose turn is it now or are we waiting for Mick to revise his last action cause he can't move this turn.

Candelos' turn...

Waiting to see what he's going to do with his move action since he's immobilized and can't shift like he wanted to do.

When the undead attacked Candelos last turn one hit (immobilize for one turn and ongoing cold (save ends).

Current PC Status:
Thia 46/60hp, 6/7 surges, Slowed (save ends)
Kaddim 44/73hp, 4/11 surges, Slowed (save ends)
Candelos 41/71hp, 8/14 surges, Slowed x2 (save ends), Immobilized (until after the undead go)
Miri 29/54hp, 9/9 surges
Sonya 40/61hp, 4/9 surges

Currently Candelos' turn...

Wicked! :-(

If they miss they're saves vs. ongoing fire (which is doing extra damage), try not to end your turn adjacent. On their turn after this one they may all pop at once!
