[4e] Fighting Fantasy Fun [IC]

[Jokes]

[Ok, so Asharta ends up in the AOE of Attah's attack when the attack is made. I'll roll the attack, and you take 10 damage if it hits.

(1d20+5)[23] vs Ref]

[Magentawolf]

[Whups. That'll teach me not to read the spoilers thoroughly. Mind if I swap that to one of the locations he suggested? (B9, D6-7) ^.^; ]

[Jokes]

[tsk, I dunno, this "boss fight" has been too cake walk for my liking.

Alright, just this once, ]

Belthen

Belthen side steps the bloodied ogre and swings his blade around, his sword cutting causing a ripple in the air around him the echos with the sound of his blade.

[maniki]

[Asharta can stay where she is if you prefer: my plan B was to use Blades of Astral Fire, exactly the same attack and damage as the lightning but allies get +3 AC instead of 10 damage

forgot: and it's radiant damage]

Who's up next?

[Jokes]

[Ah, I believe it is Asharta.]

[Magentawolf]

[Whups. I thought the ogres were up next.]

Asharta

Lips pulled back from her teeth in a sharp grin, the fiery swordmage shifted aside, and then struck again at the bleeding ogre; green flames burning upon her sword.

Vopiscus gestures towards the remaining ogre, and with a shriek one of the spirits released by his last spell circles around to attack.

Belthen

As the first Ogre goes down quickly Belthen swears another oath to the Raven Queen against the second Ogre. He moves around the ogre next to the table and brings his falchion to bear against the large creature hoping to draw it out.

[Jokes]

[Vopiscus misses, Belthen hits.

The ogre cannot move over any part of the table without a check, so any movement through it is cancelled.

Asharta is up]

[Magentawolf]

Asharta

"Hah! There's one down." she called, already slashing with her emerald-wreathed blade at the remaining ogre once more. "And you're next, ugly."

Gotta love reach.

damage - (1d10+2)[6]
gotta hate those rolls...

[Vox Clamantis]

Vopiscus points to Asharta as the nymph runs dances over to Belthen. The remaining free spirit flashes across the cavern and absorbs into Asharta's body in a flash of light even as the nymph reaches her objective and ignores the ogre to grab Belthen and plant a kiss on his cheek.

Spoiler

Healing Spirit. Asharta can spend a healing surge. If she does, Belthen also recovers (1d6)[4] hit points.

"mrgabest"

Length.

[Jokes]

[Done, you should have read-write permissions now.]

[maniki]

Attah's chant ends on a crescendo, a final burst of light buffeting the ogre, and sending him reeling towards Asharta.

Spoiler

Standard Action : Sun Strike
attack vs ref O2 - (1d20+5)[24]
radiant damage - (1d8+4)[5]
Hit: slide 1 diagonal to the right and down

also, the +3 AC fades.. sorry!

[Jokes]

The second ogre goes the way of the first, falling under Attah's attack.

[combat over]

[Vox Clamantis]

Dusting the last of the spirit resin off his gloves (holding them far away from his body as he does so), Vopiscus dodges the nymph as she comes running over and tries to lean on his shoulder. Well, that wasn't so bad. He looks at the cage. Now what are we going to do about that one?

[Awesomologist]

Belthen wipes his blade clean of ogre blood, chuckling at the nymph's antics. Clean blade in hand the deva looks about area to make sure there are no further worries before crouching in front of the cage.
"Well hello goblin. I believe you are holding something we seek. I think perhaps we can come to an exchange. Your rod for your freedom."

[Magentawolf]

Peering critically around the room, Asharta nudged the bars of the goblin's cage with the flat of her bloodied blade. "That sounds more then reasonable. Doesn't it?" she suggested, eyeing the runty figure.

[Jokes]

[I swear I posted this ]

The goblin hisses at you and utters something unintelligible (even for goblin) and begins to totally stress out.

[Awesomologist]

Pulling a piece of flatbread from his pack, Belthen offers the goblin food.
"Relax goblin. Take a moment and think.."

Diplomacy - (1d20+1)[17]

[Jokes]

The goblin eyes the bread warily, then quickly snatches it from your hand. It gobbles down the bread, then makes a distinctively language like remark, but none of you understand it.

[maniki]

“I know a simple enchantment which might help” Attah sits down in front of the cage, drawing a stoppered flask of sand from his backpack. He starts to trace a diagram on the ground before him, whispering mangled echoes of the goblin’s words as he does so.

Completing the rite, he looks up at the goblin, pointing towards the rod and then miming opening the cage.

Spoiler

Ritual: Comprehend language. Attah’s arcana skill is not high enough for speaking it fluently to even be possible (DC 35), so I don’t think there is any roll? Unless higher rolls will let me speak a few words?
arcana - (1d20+7)[19]

[Magentawolf]

Turning away, Asharta spent a moment in cleaning her blade and sheathing it before returning to the group. She crouches down by Attah's side, curiously watching the ritual take place.
