Into the darkness...

Dang,

One light source out in the cross but nothing where Candelos is.

Move 2 W, 1NE
Minor: HQ the closest one (SE I believe)
Standard: Twin Strike the SE one.

Thia's turn:
Move: move 2W and 1NW?

Minor: HQ the unknown creature to the SE

Standard: use Twin Strike
TS #1 25-7 vs Ac miss
TS #2 32-7 vs Ac hits for 8+3hp of damage. The creature falls.




Before Candelos takes his turn another creature takes his turn...

The party detects a new unknown creature (2S+1E) near Candelos.

The unknown creature uses a power and the creature that was killed by Thia is revived. It is prone in the square SE of Candelos.

The unknown creature makes an attack on Kaddim.
Fear 20+2 vs Will hits for 7hp of cold damage. Kaddim is pushed north.

The unknown creature makes an attack on Candelos
Flame 27+2 vs Fort hits for 12hp of Fire & Necrotic damage.




After this creature goes Kaddim is attacked...
Kaddim can sense the presense of three creatures. One to his east, one to his west, and one that moved from the north down to Kaddim's SW.

Creature #1 makes multiple attacks on Kaddim using Cascade of Steel.
CoS #1 20+2 vs Ac miss
CoS #2 16+2 vs Ac miss
CoS #3 27+2 vs Ac hits for 8hp of necrotic damage.
CoS #4 19+2 vs Ac miss

Creature #2 makes multiple attacks on Kaddim using Cascade of Steel.
CoS #1 18+2 vs Ac miss
CoS #2 26+2 vs Ac hits for 12hp of necrotic damage
CoS #3 29+2 vs Ac hits for 7hp of necrotic damage.
CoS #4 30+2 vs Ac hits for 12hp of necrotic damage. Kaddim falls.

The third creature does not attack and instead readies an action...



Candelos' turn...

Note: I didn't add this in, but...

Kaddim noticed that when he was bloodied he started taking extra damage from the necrotic attacks.

In this area a bloodied living creature gains 5 vulnerability to necrotic damage.

I say we take Kaddim and get out.
5 vulnerability when bloodied will suck when most of us have so few surges.

move: move 4N, 1NW so I'm SE of Kaddim.
minor: lay on hands on Kaddim
standard: attack one to his N with Holy Strike

Mick wrote:I say we take Kaddim and get out.

The only ones low on surges is Thia and possibly Sonya (3/9 surges)...

Mick wrote:move: move 4N, 1NW so I'm SE of Kaddim.

Candelos' turn:
Move: move north adjacent to Kaddim provoking 3AoO attacks.

AoO #1 24+2 vs Ac hits for 6hp of necrotic damage. Candelos resists 5 of it.
AoO #2 27+2 vs Ac hits for 6hp of necrotic damage. Candelos resists 5 of it.
AoO #2 33+2-2 vs Ac hits for 6hp of necrotic damage. Candelos resists 5 of it.

Minor: use Lay on Hands on Kaddim. Candelos uses a healing surge and Kaddim regains 19hp.

Unseen attacker #3's readied action kicks in... (a living creature is adjacent to him, Kaddim)

The creature uses Cascade of Steel on Kaddim
CoS #1 29+2 vs Ac hits for 5+5hp of damage.
CoS #2 28+2 vs Ac hits for 12+5hp of damage.
CoS #3 17+2 vs Ac miss
CoS #4 31+2 vs Ac hits for 12+5hp of damage. Kaddim falls...


Standard: Candelos uses Holy strike on the creature to his north.
HS 33-5 vs Ac hits for 15hp of radiant damage. (you believe he took extra damage).






Miri's turn, then Sonya...

Question...
In 4.0 monsters don't attack when you're unconscious correct?

If a creature makes an attack that has multiple rolls do they stop rolling when the target is unconscious or do they roll all attacks?

Kaddim would be unconscious after the second attack.
1st did 10hp of damage.
2nd did 17hp of damage.
4th would do 17hp of damage.

Kaddim is either at -8 or at -25

Never mind...
The attacks by the creature to the north are untypes, not necrotic.

So Kaddim took 5+12+12hp of damage. He is now at -10hp.

In the DMG, I recall reading that monsters "typically" don't attack PC's after they are down, but there are exceptions. I can look for the exact passage but it was something along the lines of monsters will only attack those that are still a threat and after a PC is down, the monsters will conserve their energy to defend themselves.

I recall the gist of the exception language as being something like, if the elf PC downs the orc chief's pet wolf and then takes the time to finish it off, then the orc chief would be justified in doing the same to the elf PC if the opportunity arose. I'll look up the language a little later.

Miri's turn...

Found it, DMG pg 40

Monsters and Fallen Characters - Don't hit people when they're down. When a character falls unconscious, monsters turn their attention to enemies who are still up and fighting. Monsters don't usually intentionally deal damage to fallen foes... ...so the other characters should always have a chance to rescue their fallen allies.

Miri's turn:
Standard: cast Magic Missile at a pillar. The pillar is hit and doesn't look very damaged.

Miri has a Move/Minor action remaining...

Vyrellis to Candelos...

Didn't anyone hear your call for light? Can they hear you or are they just ignoring you?

OHOM - "I think I can still heal Kaddim" says Sonya.
Most of my heals are close bursts where I only need LoE.

I'm a bringing the light Candelos...
Waiting for Miri to finish her turn.

Dwarmaj wrote:Vyrellis to Candelos...

I thought we tried that before we went in the room! Miri will use a minor to cast 'Light' on Candelos' square, & if neccessary, move to get in position to do it. done.

...use OHOM to ask Candelos where (what squares) the enemy occupies. Especially, since Candelos had 3 AoO made on him, there must be one to his W, one to his E, and one above him.

Also want to see exactly where Miri moves to and what I can (and can't see) and what Miri and Candelos can/ can't see after Miri's light and movement.

Sony threw a sunrod into the center corridor, but not into one of the four areas with the statues.


Miri's turn: (cont)
Move: move south of Thia

Minor: cast light into Candelos' square.

The PCs outside the area of the pillars are still not able to see into the area past the pillars.

Candelos sees the following:

Since PC/NPCs are suppose to know where all non-hidden creatures are I'l show the map of the SE area.

Note: The PCs can't see past the pillars, but know where the creatures are.



(forgot to make the monsters visible on the map...)

Sonya's turn...maybe.

Before Sonya goes - use OHOM to inform Miri where the bad guys to the south are and suggest "if you have something that affects an area to slow them down, use it now!" (e.g. Action Point). If Miri want to use her AP before Sonya starts her turn, that would be good.

Sonya
Move - NE, N (not difficult because it doesn't have a piller, right?), NE, NW (I should end up w a monster to the W).
Minor - Rousing Words on Kaddim (don't forget the 10 bonus hits). Now, if he's prone but with positive hits, he'd give me a flanking bonus, right?
Standard - Bastion of Defense on wounded monster to the W. Now, I may not do this if the DM rules that I don't get flanking and Thia and Miri won't benefit from the 10 temporary hits even though they are within 5 squares of me. Kaddim and Candelos should get the temporary hits as Kaddim should be up from the Rousing words. If I manage to hit, how will you track the +1 bonus to everyone's defenses?

Possible AP - depending on if I hit and how bad the monster seems damaged, I may use an AP especially if I have flanking w Kaddim.

Don't have anything like that. I'll save my AP.

Sonya's turn:
Move: move east of the monster to the NE.

Minor: use Rousing Words on Kaddim. Kaddim uses two healing surges and is now at 38/79hp with 6/11 surges.

Standard: use Bastion of Defense
BoD 18+2 vs Ac miss

Each PC gains +1 to all defenses and +10 temp HP.




Next up will be some NPC unless Sonya wants to use an AP

Okay, I do have + 2 for flanking, so I will use an AP.
Lion's roar, same enemy. Give the healing to Kaddim. Give Kaddim the bonus hits rather than a save. Did Kaddim receive the +10 bonus hits for the Rousing words? This should put Kaddim close to max and with temp hits too.

+10hp added. Kaddim is now at 48/79hp +10temp, with 6/11 surges.


Sonya uses an AP.
Lion's Roar on the undead.
LR 32+2 vs Ac hits for 19hp of damage.

Kaddim gets to use another healing surge and is at 67/79hp with 5/11 surges.

Remember guys, we can't actually see the portraits in the SE quadrant but we do know the one I hit was a minions since he dropped with one shot.

Also, everyone remember that bursts and blasts don't care about concealment.

NPC's turn:

The PCs see a creature go from the SE area to the sunrod. The creature picks up the sunrod them moves to the NW area.

Thia is the only one that can detect the creature but doesn't know exactly where it is. Though it was SE of the NW statue when she lost it.

The party loose track of where the creatures to the SE are. Except for one that hasn't had it's turn yet.




Kaddim's turn, then Thia...

Booming Blade on the one I'm flanking with Sonya.

Ross wrote:Booming Blade on the one I'm flanking with Sonya.

Kaddim's turn:
Move: stand up (assuming you wanted to stand...)

Standard: use Booming Blade
BB 20+2 vs Ac miss


Thia's turn...

Oh also mark the one to my south.

Thia will use Spitting Cobra strike as a standard and shift 1E to get the plus from the boots. Minor HQ the nearest which I believe is the top guy to the SE.

Krystoff wrote:Thia will use Spitting Cobra strike as a standard and shift 1E to get the plus from the boots. Minor HQ the nearest which I believe is the top guy to the SE.

Thia's turn:
Standard: use Spitting Cobra Stance

Minor: HQ the closest enemy you can detect.

Move: shift 1E

Note: I think you'll have to HQ before you shift since you'll loose LOE.


NPCs turn...

NPC's turn:
Thia detects that a creature to the SW moved closer. You can tell it has cover and total concealement. You can attack if you like using your interrupt but the attack will be at -7.

NPC to the S.
Move: shift 1NW

Standard: use Flame on Sonya 34 vs Fort hits for 12hp of Fire&Necrotic damage.
Minor: use Fear on Sonya 30 vs Will hits for 8hp of cold damage. Sonya is pushed to the north.


NPCs to the north:
Guardian #1 (to Kaddim's west)
Standard: use Cascade of Steel (an at-will...)
CoS #1 23+2 vs Ac miss
CoS #1 20+2 vs Ac miss
CoS #1 33+2 vs Ac critical hit for 16hp of damage
CoS #1 19+2 vs Ac miss

Guardian #3 (to Kaddim's east)
Standard: use Cascade of Steel
CoS #1 17+2 vs Ac miss
CoS #1 27+2 vs Ac hits for 9hp of damage
CoS #1 21+2 vs Ac miss
CoS #1 27+2 vs Ac hits for 12hp of damage

Standard: use Cascade of Steel
CoS #1 27 vs Ac miss
CoS #1 16 vs Ac miss
CoS #1 28 vs Ac miss
CoS #1 30 vs Ac hits for 7hp of damage

Kaddim is currently bloodied at 33/79hp with 5/11 surges




Note: I fogot and rolled Guardian #2's attacks, but he actually goes after Candelos. Since he's marked by Kaddim his action won't change unless Candelos marks him.


Candelos' turn...

Miri disappeared from the map...

bradly wrote:Miri disappeared from the map...

You're currently in the dark...

When the sunrod was moved the corridor when dark. Thia should also be in the dark since neither of you have a light source.

There are currently three light sources in play.

1. an NPC took a sunrod to the NW statue.
2. Sonya has a tourch
3. There is a light spell in the space where Candelos is.

Miri is currently 1S and 2W of Thia (just inside the room).

It's been so long since we rested. Can you tell me if I have any Daily powers left and if I have a AP.

Mick wrote:It's been so long since we rested. Can you tell me if I have any Daily powers left and if I have a AP.

Candelos' stats
61/78hp 9/14 surges

1 AP
2 Daily Item uses

Available Daily Powers:
2nd Sacred Circle


All encounter powers are available.

This is the 3rd encounter since the last extended rest.

Candelos will
move: shift 1W
standard: attack wounded one to NE with Piercing Strike

Piercing Smite Paladin Attack 1
Encounter ✦ Divine, Weapon
Standard Action Melee weapon
Target: One creature
Attack: Strength vs. Reflex
Hit: 2[W] + Strength modifier damage, and the target and a
number of enemies adjacent to you equal to your Wisdom
modifier are marked until the end of your next turn.

If I don't hit the one to NE
minor: mark one to NE

I think Miri is after Candelos...

Miri will:

Move action: move 1 N (2 movements because can't see) + 1 N (2 more movements because of difficult terrain) + 1 N + 1 NW. That should be her full movement & put her flanking the wounded Undead with Kaddim

standard action: (my close burst 3 encounter power) cast 'Scorching Burst' (I think)

minor action: activate 'Intelligent Blademaster' for +1 AC (or +3 if I free a hand) for this encounter

free action: using 1h1m, "I KNEW this room would be trouble!..."

done.

Miri's turn, then Sonya...

I think you moved Candelos E instead of W. I think he wanted to be adjacent so he could mark everyone if he hit.

bradly wrote:I think you moved Candelos E instead of W. I think he wanted to be adjacent so he could mark everyone if he hit.

Sorry, I've updated the map. Candelos is now west of the light spell.

Since she probably wont use her interrupt this round she will take the attack at -7 versus the southern guy.

Do I need to have my luck blade dagger out to use it's power?

Krystoff wrote:Since she probably wont use her interrupt this round she will take the attack at -7 versus the southern guy.

Thia uses her interrupt to make a RBA.
RBA 25-7 vs Ac miss.

I see if anything is posted on the forums.

Hum, does anyone have the description of the Lick blade?

Reroll an attack roll you just made. Use the second result even if it's lower.

Could I use my minor to pull it out with shield hand instead of marking the NE one
and use the luck blade power as a free action.

No, I believe your off-hand is not usable while you are wearing a heavy shield.
