Standard action: throw shield at medusa

Candelos' turn:
Standard: thow shield at the medusa 25-5 vs Ac miss

At the end of Candelos turn he rolls a 17 and is no longer slowed.



Sonya's turn...

okay, my turn is as posted above except I'll give the Shake It Off Save to Thia instead of Candelos.

Teramotos wrote:Free Action: "Candelos, move back."
Move Action: Move over to the square east of Kaddim.
Minor Action: Inspiring Word w Saving Inspiration on Kaddim. He gets a save.

Free Action: Close my eyes.
Done...

Sonya's turn:
Move: move adjacent to Candelos

Minor: use Inspiring Word on Kaddim. Kaddim uses a healing surge and regains 19hp. Kaddim also gets to make a save and rolls a 2. Kaddim is now Immobilized (save ends) and Slowed (save ends).

Standard: Use Shake it Off on Thia. Thia gets to make a save vs one effect with a +5 bonus. Thia rolls a 6+5=11. One of the slows goes away.



Kaddim's turn...

What was the -5 to Candelos attack from? Cover from the gargole?

Mick wrote:What was the -5 to Candelos attack from? Cover from the gargole?

Yes, I mentioned earlier that the gargoyles in the doorway block almost the whole doorway and that any attack into the room is at a -5 penalty. All attacks from inside to outside are also at -5 if the gargolye is in stone form and blocking the way.

Currently Kaddim's turn, he's Immobilized and Slowed.

Can he delay to postpone making a save? Can anyone else besides Sonya give bonuses to saves? I don't have my rituals in front of me, but I fear if he gets turned to stone, there's nothing we can do...

I didn't think so, but I just re-read the rules and it looks like you can.

Delay
You can choose to wait to take your turn until later in the round. You can wait until after your allies take actions so you can plan out tactics, or you can wait for enemies to move into range.
DELAY: NO ACTION

✦ Delay Entire Turn: You must delay your entire turn, so you can’t delay if you’ve already taken an action on your turn. You also can’t delay if you’re dazed or if you’re unable to take actions.

✦ Coming Back into the Initiative Order: After any other combatant has completed a turn, you can step back into the initiative order. Perform your actions as desired and adjust your initiative to your new position in the order.
✦ Losing a Delayed Turn: If you don’t take your delayed turn before your initiative comes up, you lose the delayed turn and your initiative remains where it was.
✦ Start of Your Turn: At the moment you delay, carry out the start of your turn normally.
✦ End of Your Turn: You don’t have a normal end of your turn (page 269). Instead, the things you do at the end of your turn happen at two separate times.

End Beneficial Effects when You Delay: At the moment you delay, end effects that last until the
end of your turn and that are beneficial to you or your allies. For example, if on your previous turn you stunned an enemy until the end of your next turn, the stunned condition ends. You can’t prolong a beneficial effect by delaying.

End Sustained Effects when You Delay: You can’t sustain a power if you delay. At the moment you delay your action, the “check actions spent” part of the end of your turn occurs. Because you haven’t spent an action to sustain any active powers, sustainable effects end.

End Harmful Effects after You Act: After you return to the initiative order and take your actions, end effects that last until the end of your turn and that are harmful to you. For example, if an enemy stunned you until the end of your next turn, the stunned condition ends. You can’t avoid a harmful effect by delaying.

Make Saving Throws after You Act: After you return to the initiative order and take your actions, you make saving throws against effects on you.

Ken, you do realize we provide cover for each other against the Medusa Effects, but not sure if the -2 penalty would matter or not?
Do I have an Action Point?
If I do I will use it before my turn to use a Lightning Lure at the medusa.
On my regular turn I will:
Standard: Swordmage Shielding Fire on Medusa, avoiding the -5 since its a close burst originating on her.
Move: move two squares East of Miri. (if I turn to stone I don't want to trap Candelos in that corner. You others will want to be aware of that too)
End turn: Make my saves

Yea forgot about cover for the PCs. The only one it made a difference for is Thia, she was only affected by one of the gaze attacks and Sonya helped cure her of that so she is no longer affected.

Kaddim is currently immobilized and unable to move. Kaddim is also prone and your attacks will be at -2 unless you stand (but may block Candelos if you stand and turn to stone...).

Let me know what you want to do with your move action.

Minor: Dimensional Warp with Candelos then. He can't really do much damage to the Orc-goyle anyway. If they are blocking us from getting good attacks I'll block them if I turn to stone.
Move: Stand up
Standard: Swordmage Shielding Fire on Medusa
Roll my Saves.

Oh, also did I have an action point to use during my turn?

Ross wrote:Minor: Dimensional Warp with Candelos then. He can't really do much damage to the Orc-goyle anyway.

...and he has a new throwing shield! :-)

Kaddim's turn:
Minor: use Diminsion Swap to switch places with Candelos

Move: stand

Standard: use Shielding Fire on the medusa
SF 15 vs Fort miss, the medusa is now marked by Kaddim

Kaddim does have an Action Point since this is the first encounter since the rest.
Action Point: use Lightning Lure on the medusa
LL 28-5 vs Fort hits for 10hp of damage

At the end of Kaddim's turn he rolls his saves...
Immobilized: 10 Kaddim is no longer immobilized maybe next time...
Slow: 11 Kaddim is no longer slowed.





Ogre's turn...

Sonya, move away in case I need to teleport one of our opponents into that square. Actually leave 4 squares a available in case I get a chance to move the big guy.

Ogre's turn:
At the start of the ogre's turn he takes 8hp of fire damage.

"Grrr, no enemies come to me. Me waist my readied action. Me go get them..."

The party hears grunts and groans as the ogre squeezes through the doorway to the east. He then charges Thia.
Ogre:
Move: move through the east door (the gargoyle opened it...).

Standard: charge Thia 16+1 vs Ac miss

Action Point: (the ogre uses an action point)
Flail Hurricane vs Thia 27 vs Ac hits for 16hp of damage. Thia is knocked prone.
Flail Hurricane vs Miri 18 vs Ac miss.
Flail Hurricane vs Sonya 27+2 vs Ac hits for 16hp of damage. Sonya is knocked prone.
Flail Hurricane vs Candelos 24 vs Ac miss (I think your new shield proteced you...).
Flail Hurricane vs Kaddim 25-2 vs Ac miss.



Thia's turn, then Miri...

Thia will use weave through the fray when the ogre moves adjacent to Thia from the charge and will shift 5 north (+1 ac when I shift now).

"Move back from the doorway guys and lets take out Maulspike. Its going to be tough to hit her through the orc so lets make her come to us in the open."

Minor: HQ the Ogre
Move: 5 North (I believe we are in a long hallway)
Standard: Biting Volley the Ogre

The ogre has reach and never moved adjacent to Thia. Thia is unable to use Weave Through the Fray.

Thia is currently prone.

Does the ogre threaten 2 squares or just the ones around him?

If he doesn't threaten
Minor: HQ
Move: Stand
Standard: Biting Volley

If he does threaten 2, Thia will HQ, stand, and move 5 north.

You don't know... I requires a feat which he may or may not have.

Still Thia's turn, let me know which action you're going to take...

After Thia is Miri.

Ill go ahead and chance it. HQ stand and fire.

Krystoff wrote:Ill go ahead and chance it. HQ stand and fire.

Thia's turn:
Thia feels a bit brave...

Move: stand up
Minor: HQ the ogre

Standard: use Biting Volley
BV #1 27 vs Ref hits for 18+8hp of damage.
BV #2 25 vs Ref hits for 17hp of damage.

The ogre seems very upset at Thia for some reason...




Miri's turn...

Oh, I also need to save vs. slow (hopefully!... I don't like turning to stone!)

never mind. :-(

NPC's turn:

Red Gargoyle:
Minor: revert to normal form
Standard: ready an action...

At the start of the medusa's turn she takes 11hp of damage from the flaming sphere.

Standard: use Gaze attack
Gaze on Kaddim 26 vs Fort hits. Kaddim becomes Slowed (save ends).
Gaze on Candelos 16-2 vs Fort miss

Red Gargoyle (cont):
Standard: use Stone Form

Blue Gargoyle:
Move: move north of the ogre
Standard: use Hit & Run on Thia 29 vs Ac hits for 12hp of damage. Thia is knocked prone.



Candelos turn, then Sonya

Hmm, it was a moving attack so how does that get resolved? In other words if I wanted to use my immediate interrupt to shift 5 squares when the gargoyle gets next to me what is the order of events?

If your interrupt works when he moves adjacent, then he can continue his move as long as he has movement left. Then make the attack if/when he's next to you.

If your interrrupt works when he makes the attack, then you move and he can follow, but can't make another attack.

Note: When he moves you think that he has more movement than you do...

...can't see the map.

Teramotos wrote:...can't see the map.

sent a map to your work and home.

Do you know if there is anywhere on the net that I can put the file where you can see it? Or is emailing it to you the best we can do for now?

I have two immediate interrupts that allow me to shift 5. One that triggers when an enemy moves adjacent to me and one that triggers when I am damaged by an attack.

Wow that is a lot of movement! I shift 5 and he had to move at least 5 before he got to me.

Thia will go ahead and shift NE, N, N, N, N when he moves adjacent.and be prone out there. At least I am out of the range of the medusa for now.

Yes, he has a lot of movement, but did a move, then can attack and move. Similar to the other gargoyles that can fly, then use flyby attack.

Moving NE then 4N will put you in the hallway where the masks are. Did you want to leave the room?

Yeah, I can't really get to the medusa right now and the red gargoyle can't be hurt so they are out as targets. I can see the ogre I am sure from every part of that hallway unless the gargoyle closes the door. Besides, now that I know its the mask hallway, I might try to use the masks to my advantage. Hopefully if he follows me in there the gargoyle gets lost in the maze of doors, I know I will =).

Here's the map after Thia shifted north:



Candelos' turn, them Sonya...

I wouldn't have been able to shift into one of the mouths would I? I forgot that the mouths were right next to the door as well as along the hallway. I believe I am one square of movement off.

Yes, you're one square off...

I can move you adjacent to either the east or west mask. Then you could shift next turn after you stand.

Yeah I think that would be better. Lets try west.

Thanks Ken!

Krystoff wrote:Yeah I think that would be better. Lets try west.

Thanks Ken!

No problem.

I've moved Thia next to the west mask and the gargoyle is adjacent to you to your east.

Candelos' turn them Sonya....

Candelos will
Move: Shift 1 space NE
Free action: use power of the Reckless Sword to add +4 damage at -2 ac to himself

Yep, I should have stayed over there.

You total up all damage. On a miss you do half of the total, not half +8.

Still Sonya's turn, then Kaddim

With my minor, if Thia is within 5 squares, I'll do a Inspiring Word on her. I'll leave it up to Chris if he wants the extra 2d6 hits of healing or if he wants to make a save right now and potentially become immobilized.
If Thia's not within 5 squares, I won't use my minor action this turn.

Thia is more than 5 squares away and she's in another room out of sight. You are not able to affect her with any of your powers.



Kaddim's turn...

Current map:


Kaddim's turn...

Lighning Lure on the Ogre, but I won't use the pulling ability, since there is no square I can place him in.

Standard: use Lightning Lure on the Ogre
LL 27-2 (cover) vs Fort miss

At the end of Kaddim's turn he rolls a 4 and becomes Immobilized (save ends).

Notes:
If the ogre does not have cover then you hit for 11hp of damage.
I thought he has cover since you are around the corner from him, but reading the rules on PHB p280 I'm not sure. It could be that you have cover from him, but he doesn' have cover from you.
