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

Grog

Am I leaving the Befuddlement mba from troll3 for aegis to roll?

Aegis

Merrill has a save to make versus slowed. And no, I'll handle the MBA.

firemanfred

Sorry about that, I added my save, which I failed : \

Aegis

Z0re, I'm assuming you'd be using your Aegis interrupt to reduce damage from an attack hitting Merrill, yes? If so, you can go ahead and post what you do with that.

Aegis

Just a note regarding Domination (as I haven't seen it applied yet): you can burn temp hp to gain your bonus to damage no matter how many THP you have. So even if you just have 1 THP and do 4 damage to yourself, you still get the 4 damage bonus. It's just more of a hit on your health pool if you don't have the full temp hp to cover it.

Fiaryn

Acht, mein face!

I kind of hope Troll 3 hits me so I can put him down with Reflexive Hellstrike.

Aegis

It is tempting, but Efail is perilously close to bloodied and flanked and I do love me some free attacks.

Edit: Fffffffffffff I missed by 1!

TiamatZ

Ah, thanks for clearing that up Aegis, I'll remember that in future.

Fiaryn

Grog, if you can drop Flames of Purity on these LLLLLOSERS when your turn comes around that would be super handy.

Aegis

Amusingly, had I attacked Fiaryn I would have in fact hit him (now that he's bloodied and doesn't have +1 AC) but I wouldn't have done any damage because Reflexive Hellstrike would have killed me before the attack hit. That troll was just fucked

Efail hasn't even been hit this encounter! *waits for sky to fall on him*

What have I done

Also:

Thekla Kalamanos- Dismemberer of Trolls

Had alot of fun with the asymmetrical armour, and finally managed to do a passable dragonface.

Yessir, my thoughts exactly.

Aegis

No new map as the only one that moved was Thekla.

TiamatZ

That's awesome Grog! Totally digging the armor on her.

Also, the patterns on her her face looks kind of familiar...

Edit: Also like her cold reptile eyes. Cold. Unforgiving. Could drive a man insane just staring at them (provided Thekla doesn't bash his skull in first for looking at her rudely).

Fiaryn

Tragically, I am out of fire based attacks.

Ssssort of. I have one incredibly stupid trick up my sleeve to finish off Troll 4 once he's low enough.

Edit: Thekla looks like she could catch a dudes head between her bicep and forearm, flex, and make his head explode.

In that case, Thekla needs to have a go at singing some Gilbert and Sullivan. Or maybe Merrill should have a go on her behalf...

As for fire powers, all I've got left is a daily, which changes my attacks to fire for the rest of the encounter. Seems a bit of a waste though, doubt we'll get an extended after the first encounter.

Fiaryn

Yeah I wouldn't bother with the daily. I've got shenanigans to use.

Aegis

You used a free action to gain +1 THP?

Fiaryn

Why not? It's a free action and an at-will! :P

Aegis

Silly vampiric warlocks.

Z0re

Well, Troll 1 is still up because I rolled a 1 on damage.

Why do the dice hate me so much?

Aegis

Go go gadget regeneration.

Aegis

You could always use the daily power of your Flaming weapon.

Z0re

Yeah, doin that. 1 moment.

Aegis

Heh.

Hehe.

Heh.

Aegis

Okay, these dice are rigged.

firemanfred

Wow, nasty troll!

My post is going to have to wait a few hours, off to dinner at the inlaws.

Z0re

I think the dice just hate Verdance for some reason. Want to see her dead.

Kay

Aegis has previously commented that Verdance is a planetouched Atherton.

Aegis' dice hate Atherton, too. Soooo many crits.

Fiaryn

Jesus christ Verdance o_O

TiamatZ

Note to self: Buy as many Alchemical Fire, Alchemical Acid and Acidic Fire Potions once we reach civilization ASAP!!!!

Seriously, Thekla's quite the disadvantage against Trolls.

Fiaryn

Episode 1: In which we learned that trolls are jerks

And also that Verdance was crit for our sins

firemanfred

I think I should have taken 14 damage from Troll2's crit on me, since I think Verdance's Aegis fends off 14 damage, instead of 19. In any case, posting my turn right now.

Kay

Verdance has the Improved Aegis of Shielding feat, meaning she shields 10 + Conmod + 5.

firemanfred

Oooh, very nice! The good news is I do indeed have the offline builder on my PC at home. The bad news is that I rolled a 1 on that encounter power. Aegies, are there any penalties for rolling 1's in this campaign?

I could reroll it using a daily item power, but I think I'll keep that in my pocket for now. I'm glad I took some feats to boost Majestic Word, I like that it seems to pack quite a healing punch.

firemanfred

Just FYI, I forgot to remove Verdance's bloody status in the status block AND Verdance gets a +2 to the next damage roll on her next turn from Battle Cadence.

Aegis

Naw. Ones will occasionally cause monsters do something hilariously inept depending on the situation but it won't adversely affect PCs.

Aegis

Not that I'm against OAing all day and everything, but did you really want to use a ranged power in melee? Or were you using it after you teleport (in which case it should come after the teleport in your action order)?

Aegis

This is starting to get silly.

Fiaryn, you're using Reflexive Hellstrike if Troll 4 attacks you, yes?

firemanfred

Ahh, yes I got all tied up in making it work with the IC dialogue and forgot that the way I worded it would grant the troll an OA. So Fey Step first then do a terrible job distracting.

Also, my mythweavers sheet is coming along today. I figure it'll at least be a good stop-gap until I have things resolved otherwise. I'll put up a link before I leave work.

Absolutely. RIP AND TEAR.
