    OK, it was that missing 4 damage that was confusing me.

    I've put Dain in J8, because Makar is already in I8.

    And the creture can't be slid around, so tasty's slide has no effect. It is, however, knocked prone.


    The ferocity of your assault leaves the creature reeling. And as you cleave bloody chunks out of its hide its form grows more insubstantial. The dripping slime leaves no trace upon the floor, and the gooey ichor that runs over its body fades, leaving only a blackness that seems less like a skin than a doorway to another realm. Red eyes burn with hatred, and a gaping red maw still yawns for your flesh.

    State of play:
    All IC rolls should have The Mirrors Of Tizun Thane as the campaign name. Please capitalise the 'Of' bit to ensure all rolls can be seen at a glance on Invisible Castle.

    Initiative order:
    20 - Lucan (Anarchy)
    18 - Monster
    13 - Makar (Jam Warrior) Once per level re-roll used. Action point used
    9 - Dain (Streever) Once per level re-roll used. Action point used

    Stunned means I do nothing at all this turn does it?
    Poison Field (1d6=1)

    As a I remain adjacent to the monster then it remains Divinely Challenged.

    Makar winced from the raking claws and staggered back under the mental assault before he could cry out. Seemingly lost he stared into space with his mouth wide open for a moment. He seemed to come back to earth as the fumes from the monster made him cough, but at least the gas around the beast didn't seem to be too harmful.

    It's a straight 6 damage, not a d6, but you have 3 resistance temporarily, so you only take 3.

    Duragon up next with the heals!

    Asshole. Is that all I am to you? Green numbers?

    Anyway, since the poison is 1d6 instead of a flat 6 damage, Makar should've taken none from it I believe.

    Dain still needs to roll his.


    Duragon turns a little green under the gills. Coughing, he swears at Kord, raising a fist and seeming to grasp strands of divine energy out of the air. Sweeping his sword in a wide arc with his other hand, he points his magically charged fingers first at Dain, then at Makar, healing their wounds.

    ... And then, for the first time, retreats.
    Poison damage (1d6=4)

    Minor Action: Healing Word on Makar. Makar can spend a healing surge and gain + 3 Healer's Lore and + Extra healin (1d6=6) over and above his normal healing surge value. So, he gets his healing surge + 9.

    I see now. I AM just green numbers.

    Standard Action: Cure Light Wounds on Dain. I would Healing Strike but, you know, RNG. Dain gains hitpoints AS IF he had spent a healing surge, but doesn't actually spend one. Add +3 onto the top of that for Healer's Lore.

    Move Action: Get the fucking Hell out of dodge and shift to K9

    Sorry about not being around. 4th of July weekend whooooo.

    Because it seems to still be a matter on confusion (which is entirely my fault), I'll repeat that the damage from the aura is a straight 6 hitpoints, NOT a d6 roll. Dain has resistance 5 to this poison damage.

    The pause in your assault and the thawing of Lucan's ice allows the monster to being inching his way out of the pit. His arms of starry blackness swing back and forth, swiping chunks from Makar's armour and flesh.

    A voice thick with hate echoes from the seething maw of the night-black beast. "Who are you creatures? From whence have you came?"

    Coughing, Makar limped back a pace, retreating from the rending claws and vile mists.

    He held up his Holy Symbol and pointed it at the beast,

    "We're hear to clear up Thane's mess, one monster at a time. Now BEGONE!"

    Ribons of searing radiance shot from the tiny metal hammer and engulfed the Slime Monster, they bound as they burned and held him in check for while, limiting its actions and offering an easier target for Makar's companions.
    End my turn on 21/39
    + Duragon's Heals (<3) puts me back to full on 39/39
    Monster swipes for 16 puts me on 23/39
    Poison knocks it down 6 to 17/39 (Bloodied)

    Move: Shift to H9.

    Standard: Radiant Delerium Vs Monster (Reflex), -2 for condition, +1 for bloodied rage. (1d20+4=20, 3d8+4=22)

    HIT! 22 damage puts him at 88/254

    Monster is Dazed (which grants combat advantage among other things) until end of my next turn AND has -2 to AC (save ends)

    Also the divine challenge mark remains as I attacked him this turn.

    Minor: Lay hands on self (:winky:)

    Makar surges up to 27/39 and is no longer bloodied. 6 surges remain.

    He's effectively on -4 AC.

    Go, go, hit, hit!

    Lucan fires yet another bolt at the creature. This time, the bolt strikes true and the creature recoils from the attack.

    "Is it really a hide?" Anwar asks as a thin sliver of energy about the size of a pen materializes between two of Anwar's fingers. Moving his fingers away, the sliver hovers in the air, before pointing toward the slime. The sliver bolts into the slime monster's body. As if some form of arbitrary number represents the creature's ability to live, the tiny attack seemingly slays the slime monster.

    As the creature slips back towards the depths of the hole you inch cautiously forward. No trace of the workers or the guards who fell into the pit are visible as the darkness recedes into the seemingly bottomless chasm.

    Makar finds himself at the head of a great host of mounted knights. Many hundreds, all with the symbol of Kord emblazoned on their surcoats and shields. As one, they raise their lances and shout your name and that of Kord. Ahead of you, an army of shadows and evil await you. The sun glints on your spears, and you point towards the enemy. Your men roar in approval.

    You set your horse at a canter towards them, and your men follow. You yell the order to charge and your army crashers through the forces of darkness like a wave sweeping away a child's sandcastle. None can stand against you, and amidst the wreckage of your utter victory, your name is chanted again and again by loyal followers.

    "MAKAR! MAKAR! MAKAR!"

    A voice whispers in your ear: "Obey me, aid me, and this future can be yours."

    Lucan peers deeply into the globe set into the middle of the ornate table that stands at the centre of the highest floor of his tower. Around him, apprentices too in awe of their master to dare interrupt his musings stand stock still. Images of dimensions not his own flicker through the globe, and Lucan smiles with satisfaction as he finds the item he seeks. he motions to his most favoured apprentice to come forward and share his vision.

    "See? Our investigations have led us to this place, far across the Astral Sea, and here we can see the fabled Jewel of Nizam within it's secret casket, ready for the taking. The small matter of the thousand immortal stone guardians will be no challenge to us, I'm sure. The Jewel's power will uncover the last mysteries of the elders to us. Destiny awaits."

    So saying, Lucan calls forth a portal to another realm, and steps through.

    Anwar looks up from his saddle and laughs with the sheer delight of life. The wingspan of the beast he rides is larger than most town squares, and the name of the creature is unpronounceable with the tongues of men, but he has tamed its fury and now rides it across the glowing energies of the Astral Sea. Behind him, skyboats criss-cross the sky and beneath him the strange beasts of the Sea dive and surface their strange bodies.

    This is life, this is adventure. this is travelling in style.

    A voice whispers in your ear: "Obey me, aid me, and this freedom can be yours."
