[DnD 4e PbP] Death's Veil: King of the Trollhaunt Warrens (OOC)

MaxFrost

...Hrm, you're right. Fixed.

firemanfred

I wasn't sure who to heal, so I opted to save that heal in case someone goes down.

Grog

Didn't mean to put you out of range there fred, just didn't want the rockthrowers dazing you as well

firemanfred

No, that was fine. I like to manipulate the battle from relative safety anyway.

Aegis

This round brought to you by: Critical Miss (tm)!

MaxFrost

Orokos likes me today. O_o 10 speed for spark form is win.

Aegis

I'll trade you my 2 1s for your 2 20s!

EDIT: Sorry guys, I don't know how this wound up in here, and I can't delete it. I was having a fun time reading the thread and can only speculate that my stupid iPhone mashing fat finger things posted some garbage. My apologies, please continue...

Grog

Crabsticks! Nice one max

firemanfred

Just checking in here, I'm anticipating things will slow down as we head into the holiday weekend. I'm not going anywhere, but have family coming into town. I don't anticipate posting issues.

Aegis

Eh, it's only Labour Day, I'll be around.

Aegis

Thekla's up.

TiamatZ

Post is up. I didn't know if Thekla could hear the battle behind her back (from an IC perspective), so I decided to off the two runts instead. Not really heroic material, but it's two less threats taken care off.

Also, does drenching rain affect creatures that enter it as well?

Z0re

Took a little creative license with the power as Verdance managed to get a critical on the secondary attack while blinded. Which still refuses to go away.

Also, wasn't sure if the rain kept the attack penalties, but Verdance hits both targets either way.

lodwilk

nevermind wrong thread. Stupid posting from a blackberry. Carry on folks and I'm sorry about the interruption.

Grog

Any enemy within the zone of drenching rain takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls and all defenses

So I read that as ending once I exited the zone, and unlike Verdance, Efail is but a blind old man, so he only just hit.

Aegis

Yea, Rain only affects enemies and only people within the zone.

MaxFrost

Okay, I guess I should have anticipated it with so many rolls, but seriously, too many 20's from this this encounter. I never thought I'd not want that many. At least it wasn't an attack this time.

Grog

Will be dropping a rune of mending on either Medrash or Thekla (probably Thekla), any preference as to Destruction/Protection? I'm leaning toward the +4 damage just so we can finish the shaman quickly.

I fully endorse any and all frontloading of natural 20s, *nod nod*

MaxFrost

Damage. Nobody is in danger of getting snuffed, and I don't think the shaman can do enough damage to me to wipe me out with a lightning attack (I'd have to take nearly 30 lightning damage to bite it)

Aegis

Not with the rate that he keeps missing Thunder Staff *grumble*

Z0re

So Verdance is now officially more accurate when blind and in the rain than she is in perfect conditions. Good times.

MaxFrost

awesome ^_^

Aegis

Grog have you really failed 8 straight saving throws in a row? At this point I wonder if Efail wouldn't spontaneously acquire Blind-Fighting.

Grog

Well he is pretty old. It's probably past his bed time, and the giant rock must have knocked his glasses off.

TiamatZ

OK, quick post up, with an updated status block as well.

Also, where did ZOre move to hit the troll? Or did you hit the Ogre Rockthrower?

Edit: also, don't mess with Thekla when she's been tossed into a river and is drenched.

Aegis

Yea Medrash had already killed the Hill Giant so I'm not sure who she was slashing.

Z0re

...Yeah, Verdance was just making sure it was extra dead. She's blind cut her some slack guys.

Or maybe Im just dumb and wasted a 19! Though honestly its not like she could take a much more relevant action what with being blind, dazed and in the rain. I totally misread Marshes number though, my bad.

Aegis

Poor Ogre. Cleanup time pretty much now so I don't care whether actions are done in order.

Grog

Efail takes 2d10 damage from Merrill's sick burn

MaxFrost

Seriously, yeouch.

Aegis

I'll have an update this afternoon, but unless one of the two remaining people really want to kill that troll let's just say that his defenses 'magically' dropped.

firemanfred

Glad you enjoyed

Aegis

That was a funny poem. In other news, post-battle recap up. Unless folks want to search any more just give me a Ready! when you'd like to continue to the northern fortress indicated on the map. That and figure out who's taking the potions.

Also, nice combat. That was an EL+3 encounter (technically EL+2.5 if you factor in the time-delay) and it was suitably hairy yet not overly punishing.

firemanfred

I managed to take 0 damage throughout the encounter. Woot!

MaxFrost

I like this sorcerer. hitting me only makes me nastier

You're like Aidan in my other game: healer that stays in the back. I clearly need to use more ranged enemies against the two of you.

MaxFrost

how are we explaining the tiefling disappearance? Just poof?

Aegis

Eaten by a grue? I'm not sure at the moment as there weren't very good story options at the time.

Probably the easiest to explain would be that he wandered off during the night in the ruins when you camped to chase after some lights.
