OK, so if Cid is Bloodied, you gain 1 Vigor for a shield. (Shields don't stack, I think you still have some leftover? This would replace that.) You can also ditch the Electrified now.
The Tomb Guard was still Poisoned, yeah, so is now Branded. Since this also deals Poison damage, it does Bonus damage. You can roll for that.
I don't see where the damage is Piercing, though. Reap is Pierce, Sow is not.
Your attacks gain on hit: After
the attack resolves, deal 2 piercing damage as an
effect to all foes marked by you, and bless all allies
marked by you.
Also Cid now has two blessings on him, so if anyone wants to get within range 2 of Cid, so that Xin can eat the blessings to give their attacks pierce (and bonus damage) against the armoured guard, happy to stand here and help :P
Anyway, it's @Elvenshae next
Xin having moved since last map update
And then back to the top for round 6 with either the Guard or a respawned Spectre taking first turn.
Nothing; I believe Kay was cured of Electrified (it would otherwise be difficult terrain; +1 movement a square), and otherwise it just pushed you out of cover on Cid's turn.
Other thing to note is that Xin can give people pierce and bonus damage by eating blessings.
So if Kay attacks in Range 2 of Cid, you can take one of Cid's and hit the guard hard.
Kay dodges around the pillar and charges forward, bounding up onto the central structure and planting his overlarge feet on the tomb guard. Sometime during this, he managed to pull yet another broad-mouthed pistol from his bandolier. He aims it down and ...
Move DL, L, L, followed by Cavaliere! to end up on top of the Tomb Guard. Attacking with +1 boon for elevation.
I will definitely be doing that, yes. Since I'm using a burning attack against an already-burning target, that gives me bonus damage, as well. So two bonus dice, piercing.
He aims it down and a blast rings out, the fiery spray from his snub-nosed blunderbuss pistol shattering significant portions of his target. Kay balances as the Tomb Guard teeters, prepared to hop off if it tries to escape from under him.
The Tomb Guard is hit hard by Kay's shot... but, although in pain and suffering from many wounds and ongoing debilitating effects, it is still standing.
It is bloodied though. It was only barely not bloodied before
Now we enter the top of round 6! As Cid is still on the mound, the mechanism is not continuing. Although close to completion, the doors have not been locked yet.
The Spectre, distracted by Rohan's close presence and the threat that represents, misses striking Cid directly. However, the charge of the bolt still tingles as it passes. The bolt hits the column behind, but instead of dissipating, seems to bounce off and go for Zin!
Cid takes 4 Fray damage and is Electrified. You were already Electrified, but you know...
Zin takes 4 damage, and needs to make a save. If you fail the save, it's gonna bounce again!
The Arc Spectre's bolt of energy is contained within Zin, and does not hit anyone else.
The Spectres are great! But I just now realized that it should have used it's more powerful ability. Oh well, maybe it will survive!
And with that, the Arc Spectre has finished it's turn, and it's a player's turn now. As this is the first player turn of Round 6, it's up to y'all who wants to go first.
Cid or Kay should go and see if they can't manage to down that Tomb Guard since it will go next.
To add to that, I believe Cid had two blessing tokens, so another pierce and bonus dmg to be handed out.
From my end, I can hit it with Reap, but that's only d6+3 of dmg, 2 pierce dmg after the attack, plus a blessing handed out. Don't think that's enough dmg to take it down in one hit though (also will be healing Cid)
But yeah. I'm unsure how I shove Kay if they're standing on top of the guard.
Sounds like they're probably stuck adjacent to the guard this round and might need to go first.
It looks like the guard is blinded though, so Kay can evade, and they'll be doing double fray anyway, so it's probably fine.
It's shoving you straight up though? Like you're right on top of it and it would be shoving you away...
It does look like you can move off the guard's head and L-shape without leaving adjacency, but you wouldn't have the height boon I think.
And rather, you'd have a height curse.
I can go first though, and maybe drop the guard, but I don't exactly have a D10.
Would get the height boon and the brand and pierce and bonus damage though.
The guard's plaque hums again, as the wall of force pushes everyone back.
Some more gracefully than others.
Kay in particular manages a graceful zero-G tumble, before sliding North and dismounting from the Guard's helmet.
Cidryn climbs back atop the mound, grinning.
His rags arcing, as he makes plowing through the force look easy.
"Well, I'd say this has been fun, but ..", he rubs his gauntlets together, "I don't usually have so much trouble stripping contraptions down. Also you're probably haunted? So this is doing you a favour!"
HP 9, Shield 8 -> 6 due to Aetherwall
Aether 3 -> 4
Cid is pushed N, Kay is pushed N, Zin is pushed W.
Cid moves back, ignoring difficult terrain
Geth roll 1d20+2d6 for Levinblade on the branded short Guard
Cid consumes the second blessing, but doesn't get a critical.
Geth roll 4d8k2+4+2 for two adjacent characters pierce electrified and bonus damage
... Looks like k (keep) is ordering the dice by die size.
So if we roll too many incorrectly, we can't just take the leftmost dice.
We'll have to reroll instead.
And.. that should be enough to KO the guard.
I don't believe its withstand has recharged, as it hasn't had another go yet
two adjacent characters pierce electrified and bonus damage:
I.... have no idea how Electromagnetism's shove would work with Kay's shenanigans. Just booping Kay in a random direction seems fine.
And yeah, 20 damage is plenty to finish off the Tomb Guard. Even with Resistance if it still had its Interrupt, tbh. Now, if y'all manage to destroy the Spectre this round, then the fight ends and the Tomb Guard doesn't get a chance to Rise Again.
Cid swings a blade made out of pure energy at the Tomb Guard. It seems to resonate with the Tomb Guards body, before with a small explosion, the Relict is no more. Its shield and blade fall to the ground. The last Relict standing is now the Arc Spectre, over on the side of the battlefield with the newly arrived Rohan.
It has already taken its turn, so you all can finish out the round!
The crashing behind him seems to have abated temporary but Rohan can't risk a glance backward as he holds the Spectre fast with his magical chain.
I'm not sure if being defeated clears statuses and marks. I know it's come up before but I can't find it in this thread. Just ignore the extra damage/boon if that's the case.
Geth roll 1d10 damage for being within 3 of Rohan's turn
Move up 1 space to keep blocking the Spectre
Use Astral Chain again. Spectre is marked and electrified already so gain a boon from the mark and bonus damage for electrified
Being defeated removes most everything from you, yes. So, the initial damage doesn't apply, and the chain misses with a 1. A 3 misses too, for what it's worth.
Rohan swings his chain out at the newly re-risen Spectre, but is unable to connect! Still though, the energy spitting off the whirling chain strikes and burns into the Spectre, causing it to recoil momentarily in pain.
It does the 3 Fray damage, and is now Slowed and Electrified and Marked by you.
Since the Arc Spectre is bloodied, you would get Finishing Blow on this, which would still do the bonus damage. So you actually would have gotten to roll one more die even, if it hit and was still electrified. Next time maybe! HOWEVER you do get another perk. When you use Astral Chain to score a Finishing Blow, you can teleport the target 2. Finishing Blow doesn't seem like it requires the attack to connect, so you can use your chain to manipulate it still to get this teleport. If you want to.
if we can knock the Spectre down again, I believe the guard doesn't get a chance to get back up
This is accurate yes. There's always a chance it doesn't Rise Again next round anyways too, despite the fact that they've yet to fail that roll haha. In that case y'all would surely get the Spectre in a full round
