Marpenoth 6th - Early Wakeup Call

Right you are Jordan!

Round 4

• Lozigee darts around the pillar in the middle of the chamber and moves into a near flanking position on Mezzodemon B and kicks in Clever Strike and hits (19+11=30 vs AC) for max damage (6+5=11) and since Grognak is adjacent to the target as well, Lozigee gets sneak attack damage of max damage again (8+8=16) for a grand total of 27 points of damage! Fittingly, Lozigee fails his save after rolling a 1, (but the DM nearly rolled max on four straight rolls).
  
  
• Althalus steps back, makes the Firelasher his quarry, and fires two shots at the elemental beast, hitting on the first (15+12=27 vs AC) and again on the second shot (16+12=28 vs AC) for 9 points and 7 points for a grand total of 16 points.
  
  
• Shephatiah again fails to recharge Thunderstrike so instead she reverts back to Word of Pain this time on Lozigee and hits (18+17=35 vs Will) and the halfling takes 9 points of psychic damage (actually only 4 points thanks to Kregnok) and is immbobilized.
  
  
• Mezzodemon A stabs at Umberto (reach 2) with his Skewering Tines attack and hits (16+14=30 vs AC) for 12 points of damage (actually only 7 thanks to Kregnok - and that comes off his temporary hit points). Umberto also takes ongoing 5 damage from this and is restrained as he is pinned under the demon's trident.
  
  
• Mezzodemon B sees that the barbarian and rogue are trying to flank him so he wisely moves into a corner and attacks the barbarian with Skewering Tines and hits (15+14=29 vs AC) for 8 points of damage (actually only 3 thanks to Kregnok). Grognak also takes ongoing 5 damage from this and is restrained as he is pinned under the demon's trident. If I read that correctly, Mezzodemon B is still technically marked by Umberto and thus takes 5 more points of damage.
  
  
• Kregnok steps up and delivers Healing Strike on the Firelasher, but misses (4+9=13 vs ??? <-- I don't know what it was against, but that is a miss either way) I looked it up, it's vs AC, and here is the description:
  
  Hit: 2[W] + Strength modifier radiant damage, and the target is marked until the end of your next turn. In addition, you or one ally within 5 squares of you can spend a healing surge.
  
  So, I'm thinking that the healing goes off regardless of the hit or miss on the creature? So, assuming that, Umberto spends a healing surge (17 points) and Kregnok gains three points as well. Kregnok contines Moment of Glory so the resist 5 is still up for those who have it.
  
  
• Grognak is up, I just added 3 HPs from his regen 3, but he is restrained still. Since he has no ranged weapons, Grognak is going to go with total defense (+2 to all defenses) and make his save, which he does (10).
  
  
• The Firelasher fails to recharge Whirlwind Dash, and instead he will attack with Wildfire Cyclone, which is a close burst 2 attacking Kregnok and hitting (12+14=26 vs Reflex) and hitting Althalus as well (19+14=33 vs Reflex). The damage for both is 10 points of fire damage (Kregnok takes only 5) and the targets are pushed 1 square and knocked prone. Being a dwarf, Kregnok is not push any squares and makes a save vs being knocked prone, which he makes (16).
  
  
• Bastion casts Faerie Fire on Mezzodemon A and hits (13+8+5=26 vs Wil) so Mezzodemon A is slowed and grants combat advantage until he saves. And also would not be looking forward to making his save and suffering the aftereffects. Bastion sprints towords the chasm but loses his footing a bit as he jumps (5+2=7/5=1 square) and barely makes it to H5, nearly falling into the elemental chaos rift. The druid quickly shape changes into wolf form.
  
  
• Umberto is up
  

Immobilized

• You can't move from your space. although you can teleport and can be force to move by a pull, push, or slide

Restrained

• You grant combat advantage
  
• You're immobilized
  
• You can't be forced to move by a pull, push, or a slide
  
• You take a -2 penalty to attack rolls
  

Bastard things, I can't move!

I will change targets and try Lightning Lure on the Fire Lasher. +9 vs. Fort. 1d6+5 if it hits, it's a flying creature right? If it hits it should be pulled to F7 and I will mark it. And make my save, which will really make no difference if I do or not. Cornholling bastards.

Oh and Happy Birthday Sam.

Thanks Lou-dog!

• Umberto's ongoing and resist 5 counter act each other, then attacks the Firelashers with Lightning Lure and hits (12+9=21 vs Fort) and does 6 points of damage (1+5=6), and since it is a flying creature it is pulled to F7 where it hovers instead of falling into the chasm. Umberto then fails his saving throw (3-1=2)
  

Round 5

• Lozigee's ongoing damage and resist counter each other. Since the halfling is immobilized, Lozigee switches bask to his sling and takes advatage of Mezzodemons A's condition and attacks with Sly Flourish and hits (16+13=29 vs AC) for 11 points of damage (2+9=11) and then 7 more points of sneak attack damage, for a grand total of 18 points, making Mezzodemon A also bloodied. Lozigee then makes his save vs. the ongoing poison (14), and makes his save vs being immobilized (15). Lozigee will use an Action Point to kick in Second Wind, giving him +2 to all defenses for a round.

My mark is now on the Firelasher btw.

That's correct LK9, I'll fixed it. Done.

Althalus will get himself back on his feet and, if able, fire two shots at the Firelasher. The Firelasher is still his quarry. (+11, 1d10+2 +1d8, +11, 1d10+2).

I just got off the phone with Lord Wil and he relayed his attack for this round. Earlier I sent him a text asking what he was doing, "Done/Guard?". Alas, he had real attack in mind.

Since he is flanking the Firelasher wiht Umberto he is going to attack with Righteous Brand, +11 to hit and the damage is 1d01+6. Umberto gets a +3 to attack the Firelasher next , plus the flanking bonus for +2 more.

Same as last time please total defense aaaannnnnnddddd save!

Bastion will move to 7G (move action)
Bastion will then use Predator's Flurry (standard action, Beast Form, melee).
Primary attack on Firelasher -
Attack: +8 vs Reflex
Hit: 1d6 + 5 damage and the target is dazed until the end of my next turn.

Per power, SHIFT to 11F for Secondary attack on Mezzodemon A [currently granting combat advantage <+2 to hit, + 1d10 dmg for Claw Gloves> and bloodied <+1 to hit per Primal Fury Feat, +1 to dmg for Autumn Harvest Totem>].

Secondary attack on Mezzodemon A -
Attack: +11 vs Reflex (If I miss, use Elven Accuracy to reroll, since it was not needed last round.)
Hit: 1d6 + 6 + 1d10 damage and the target is dazed until the end of my next turn.

While we wait for Umberto's move, I'll share with you something I heard on the D&D podcast. They did a mailbag episode where they answered some questions. One interesting one they dealt with was one that had to do with powers that allow you to teleport an enemy. Can you teleport an enemy straight up in the air, or to a spot over an open pit?

The answer is yes.

However, if you teleport an enemy to a spot that puts him in danger (up in the air, or over a pit, etc), they get to make a saving throw that if made, completely negates the teleportation. So, it's a bit of a gamble. But it might be worth it in a situation where you don't have a tactical advantage to teleporting him normally.

First I will open up with Booming Blade on the Firelasher, +12 vs AC, 1d8+5 damage and if it moves away on its next turn it take 1d6+1 thunder damage. Action point, Then I will use Sword burst, enlarging it to burst 2. I will be +12 vs reflex (+3 for Action surge, thanks Merthuvial) on Mezzo A and the Firelasher. 1d6+3. Saves -1.

Althalus will maintain his focus on the firelasher and fire two more shots in it's direction. (+11, 1d10+2 +1d8, +11, 1d10+2)

Sustain the damage resist as a minor

lance of faith against the firelasher

wis vs ref (+8 to hit) ranged attack

1d8 + 3 radiant damage, if it hits, Umberto is +2 to his next attack roll against the firelasher

what does it take to get across the rift?

Jump falls under an Athletics check:

• Distance Jumped Horizontally: Make an Athletics check and divide your chekc result by 10 (don't round the result). This is the number of sqaures you can leap across. You land in the square determined by your result. If you end up over a pit or a chasm, you fall and lose the rest of your move action.
  
• Running Start: If you move at least 2 squares before making the jump. divide your check result by 5, not 10.
  
• Uses Movement: Count the number of squares you jump as part of your move. If you run out of movement, you fall. You can end your first move in midair if you double move.

total defense save against restrained

Bastion will activate his Bloodcut Armor (minor action) and sacrifice a healing surge to gain Resist 10 to all damage until the end of my next turn.
Bastion will then move to 10M (move action).
Bastion will then finish his turn by unleashing Swarming Locusts (standard action, close blast 3) into squares 7L-9L and 9L-9N (square) and attack Mezzodemon B (bloodied; +1 to hit Primal Fury, +1 to damage Autumn Harvest Totem).
Attack: +9 vs reflex (If I miss, use Elven Accuracy - haven't needed it yet)
Hit: 1d8 + 6 damage
Effect: Blast creates a zone (7L-9L and 9L-9N, square) that lasts until the end of my next turn; while within the zone, enemies grant combat advantage.
