Re: [Hourglass of Zihaja D&D 4e] Heroes on a Sea of Swords IC
The Skyarrow
Standing on the water's surface, the fog parted before her, is a pahari dressed in all silks. Being men and women of the sea, you know a little about pahari; you know that theirs is a civilization based very much on magic, and that they completely lack the inbred fear of the arcane that much of the world shares. She grins. Foolish genieblood, let me lay this out for you so you'll understand. That's what I'm here for! she laughs, diving back into the water.
((OOC: I will arrange initiative and the map in a sec. How do you guys want to deal with 3-D aquatic combat? I am thinking we go with two maps, one that is N/S/E/W and one that is N/S/Up/Down. Thoughts?))My Homebrew

The Skyarrow
Medinah and Rahman jump in first; the other Hunters have no sign of them through the fog.
For Medinah and Rahman Only:
SpoilerAs you emerge in the water, the scene clears nearly instantly. It reveals... a pack of sharks. The pahari witch giggles. This should be entertaining. Three of the sharks look mundane enough, though they're quite muscular. Two of the sharks are red, with flaming eyes; some kind of demonic creature, possibly. The religious types may know more. In any case, one of the seething firesharks charges Medinah, while a mundane one charges Rahman. The demonic beast misses the swimming Medinah, but the dire shark savages Rahman, leaving a bleeding wound.
[Rahman takes 14 damage and ongoing 5 damage (save ends). The Enemies actually won initiative, but being sharks, couldn't do much out of the water. They all have readied actions to charge y'all as you come in, which is why I am having you guys choose the order you enter the water.]

Rather worried about Medinah, particularly since she cannot communicate with her through the deep fog, Amirah jumps into the water.

Rahman Shamis, Kobold Swordmage
Spoiler
Rahman cursed as one of the sharks appeared from the depths, scoring a bleeding hit as he entered the water.
Seeing the other sharks approaching he reached out with his aegis, ensnaring some of them before attacking the shark in front of him.
Crunch:
Spoiler
Move action was jumping in
(No ongoing damage, as ongoing was applied after the start of the player phase? HP = 99 if not, 94 if damage is applied)
Minor action to double Aegis Shark at F2-G4, also G6? (unsure if can reach, due to depth difference)
Standard action: Booming blade on shark at B2
Attack - (1d20+20)[23] vs AC
On hit: (1d8+10)[17]damage. (1d6+8)[10] if the shark moves away from Rahman.
Spoiler

Medinah
SpoilerMedinah likewise extends her aegis, placing her mark on the shark nearest Rahman. With a quick thought, her blade whirs at the ready, and after enspelling it with frigid energy she strikes at the strangely red shark in front of her.
Spoiler
Move action to jump into the water.
Minor action to place Aegis of Assault on the shark at C-2/B-3.
Free action to activate the psychic damage property of her sword.
Standard action: Frigid Blade @ the red shark adjacent to her.
Int (weapon) vs. AC: (1d20+21)[33]
Hit: (1d8+10)[18] cold and psychic damage (or is it just psychic damage?), the target takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls UEMNT, and if the target starts its next turn adjacent to you, it takes a -6 penalty to speed UEINT.

Re: [Hourglass of Zihaja D&D 4e] Heroes on a Sea of Swords IC
The Qius Sea - Player Phase Part 2
Everyone but Hakhpur and Teshiq:
SpoilerAs Amirah and Kihtsah jump in to follow their friends, they soon find themselves in crystal-clear water... facing an angry pack of sharks. The shark marked by Rahman charges him when the new arrivals appear, and another charges Kihtsah. The Pahari witch casts a spell, and suddenly a spectral harpoon tries to catch Amirah by surprise as the swarm enters the water. However, the Hunters' defenses prove too strong for their foes; both sharks are dodged easily enough, though the one attacking Rahman gets very close. Amirah easily disbelieves the illusory harpoon.

Kihtsah (Religiosity)
SpoilerTwo of these sharks have a very distinctive colouration... they're certainly magical, and you think you recognize the aura. The sharks have been corrupted by the heretic church of Maqur for use as deadly war beasts.
[Kihtsah and Amirah can now take their turns. Still waiting on Hakhpur and Teshiq. Sorry for the slowness; I posted this up a few hours ago, but the forum ate my post and I didn't realize; I was about to question why no one had responded yet when I realized the post never went through. Fixed the maps; I realized that I didn't originally ensure that the maps lined up. Now they do. I will do Statuses properly at the end of the first proper enemy phase post.]My Homebrew

Re: [Hourglass of Zihaja D&D 4e] Heroes on a Sea of Swords IC
Amirah, Living Swarm
For those in the wet:
SpoilerAmirah seems surrounded by a multitude of bubbles as each insect carries its own air reserves with them into the fight. "Oh, fishy! Haven't had fishy for dinner in a while. Duke will be happy" she projects, while moving forwards and calling upon the waves to batter the enemies before her.
Move: Dive
Free: Wild Shape into humanoid, shift to E1 depth 'B' (-2) (+1 AC, +1 Ref)
Standard: Tidal Surge @ C2-G6, Depth C-G (i.e. -3 -> -7), catching every enemy except northern-most shark
(Reserve: Minor to shift, depending on whether I hit E6 and can slide her; see below for details)
SpoilerAmirah
HP 102+10/102 Bloodied 51 Healing Surge 25 (0 used /12)
AC 29 Fort 27 Reflex 24 Will 28 Speed 6
Burst Attack vs Fortitude. All coordinates are from top view
To Hit B2 C3 - (1d20+18)[28]

Any target hit gets slid 3 squares, to be determined once I know who gets hit (and really, it will be up to the defenders and how those moves work best for their marks). About the only one I'll declare right now is G6, which will be slid to D3, depth B (-2), and if so I'll reserve the right to use a minor to shift next to herInterested in MitD?

Re: [Hourglass of Zihaja D&D 4e] Heroes on a Sea of Swords IC
Teshiq stared into the fog tensely waiting for some sign of what was going on, twice he thought he heard splashes in the water and maybe some voices through the fog, he turned once to look to the Captain to see if she had some guidance but refrained from parting his lips, the question on his tongue had no thought to form the words. He lowered the hood of his cloak to try and hear, an odd word game of his teacher floated through. SLLS the odd sounds comforted him he stopped his thoughts and simply looked and listened he breathed through his nose the scent of the sea filling him.
He was certain now he could see the path in front of him Daq's path lead into the water, with a brief smile to the crew Teshiq tucked his holy symbol under his shirt against his skin he adjusted his items to see what he could ensure would stay sealed against the water would. He breathed out and climbed onto the railing gripping the sail rope in his free hand before he let go and dived off the side of the ship.

Teshiq witnesses the complex situation with the sharks underwater and takes action. In the meantime, Hakhpur hops into the ocean in pursuit of his companions.
SpoilerHakhpur and Teshiq each have a Standard and Minor action to spend. The party can make a plan for Hakhpur, or I will perform a default at-will attack for him tomorrow evening.

SpoilerHakhpur

Re: [Hourglass of Zihaja D&D 4e] Heroes on a Sea of Swords IC
Teshiq dived into the water with a loud splash his eyes seeking out the demon sharks his blood itched their very aura was anathema to him, Daq excepted the light and the dark and the paths between but the formless frothing madness of chaos rebelled against the calm of the Third Path. Divine power glowed around Teshiq's blade throwing silvery light into the murky depths he sword glided through the water like a knife through a tomato. Streams of bubbles boiled in the water as power flowed into Teshiq, into his blade, and into his allies around him.

Re: [Hourglass of Zihaja D&D 4e] Heroes on a Sea of Swords IC
The Qius Sea - Enemy Phase Continued
Teshiq's magic succeeds in bolstering him and his allies, but fails to harm his intended targets.
In the meantime, Hakhpur leaps into the water and fires a sizzling bolt of electricity at the witch.And as well all learned from Pokemon, water conducts electricity, and so everyone takes damage!His bolt strikes true, using the advantage of his nearby packmates, and the mermaid screeches in pain.
SpoilerHakhpur hits with his attack, dealing 39 total damage, since once he is in the water, he gets +8 damage from Pack Fighter. Teshiq misses with both of his attack rolls.
Once the Hunters have launched their return salvo, the sharks disengage at some unseen command from the sorceress and realign themselves further ahead. A cloud of inky mist fills the water around the sorceress, and she vanishes from sight. She reappears in a different place and unleashes a wave of magic energy aimed at the Hunters. Rahman and Hakhpur resist the spell, but the rest of the Hunters are affected, Teshiq critically so.
SpoilerThe sharks all shift to disengage and then move to their new locations on the map. Her spell deals 38 damage to Amirah, Medinah, and Kihtsah, and 40 damage to Teshiq (critical hit, but she rolled almost max damage for the group anyway so not a big difference). The blue area on the map is lightly obscured; attacking through it gives concealment to the target is the line of effect passes through at least two sides of squares in the burst.

Re: [Hourglass of Zihaja D&D 4e] Heroes on a Sea of Swords IC
Amirah, Living Swarm
Somewhat reduced in size from the savage attack, Amirah rushes forward, attracting thousands of small creatures as she does. "Lady is not nice. Lady needs some manners."
Amirah swims deep into the dark waters, brushing past one of the sharks to reach the witch, and then sending all her new friends to form a cloud around the witch and her pets. "Distracted witch is easy to hit witch!" she sends to Medinah.
However, as the cloud of krill reaches the creature, it shimmers and vanishes. Recognising the illusion, Amirah quickly looks around and locates the real caster. She immediately sends a thought to the rest of the team. "Bad sneaky witch! She's over there!"
Actions:
Free: Wild Shape to beast form, shift to C1 depth C, +1 AC, +1Ref, +10 Temp HP
Move: To -C7, depth G. I can get there only by accepting an OA from the red shark
Standard: Swarming Locusts @ -B7/A9, depth D-F (hits PS, DS1, S1). Creates a zone that lasts until the end of my next turn. While within the zone, enemies grant combat advantage.
Minor: Perception roll (see OoC; 33)

Amirah's attack misses the two sharks, but it hits the sorceress; or at least, what she thought was the sorceress. The illusion of the pahari is torn to shreds by Amirah's attack. The real one is nowhere to be seen.My Homebrew

Medinah
"I cannot detect her, but I shall be there presently," the warforged replies to Amirah before firing off curses and bolts of psychic energy at the sharks and quickly moving into better position.
Spoiler
Minor action: Warlock's Curse on the sharks DS1 and S1 (S3 is equidistant to me as S1, but S1 has clear line of sight).
Standard: Skirmisher's Volley @ DS1, S1 and DS2 (I'm pretty sure I have clear LoS to the corner of A-11).

Hit: (1d8+10)[17] + (2d6)[9] psychic damage (no curse damage on DS2) and take -2 penalty to close and melee attack rolls against my allies UEMNT (except DS2) and -2 penalty to attack rolls UEMNT. After the attack is resolved, I can shift 1 square +1 square per target hit with the attack.
I'll wait on my move action until after I see how many targets I hit/how far I can shift.

Re: [Hourglass of Zihaja D&D 4e] Heroes on a Sea of Swords IC
The wave of energy ripped through Teshiq it seemed to tear through his armor like paper but he shook the blow off and turned toward the fight. Teshiq followed Amriah's swarm, he held back any admonishment about being careful, she could take better care of herself than he could. He swam after the swarm she formed and confronted the large red shark he kicked with his feet and swam under the massive beast and drew his sword up over his head along the beast's belly.

Taking advantage of her quick and marginally successful volley to move into position, Medinah suddenly vanishes in a puff of brimstone only to appear between the nearest demon shark and dire shark, her aegis enveloping both of them. She spreads her arms wide and a burst of psychic static explodes from her, though her friends in the area fortunately prove to be immune.

Re: [Hourglass of Zihaja D&D 4e] Heroes on a Sea of Swords IC
Hakhpur
Unable to swim toward the sorceress quickly enough, Hakhpur focuses his energy inward to undergo a rapid transformation. Motes of light blossom from beneath his robes, growing in intensity until his entire body seems to have converted itself into a crackling, amorphous mass of electricity. The enormous spark races through the water, striking a dire sharks on its path curving toward the sorceress.
In spark form, Hakhpur moves to -C8, depth E, attacking DS1. As his body reincorporates himself, he finds himself near to two sharks. Could use some help over here! Being unable to see the Pahari, he uses his Foestone on the Dire Shark he just attacked.

Re: [Hourglass of Zihaja D&D 4e] Heroes on a Sea of Swords IC
The Qius Sea - Enemy Phase Continued
Though Hakhpur and Rahman's attacks fail to land, Teshiq, Kihtsah and Medinah have better luck. A series of blows strike the sharks, most notably the demon shark that lagged behind, which begins to bleed profusely into the water.
Perception 24
SpoilerThe Pahari, though invisible, seems to mumble something as the demon shark begins to bleed.
Insight 30 or Speaks Pahrai:
SpoilerShe is definitely swearing/cursing as a result of the shark's bloodying. Additionally, all but the bloodied shark seem to attack their targets... reluctantly?
The Pahari shouts some kind of command to the sharks in Admajai, and they rush to the attack. The bloodied shark retreats, accepting attacks from Kihtsah and Teshiq, and its counterpart approaches from the other side. The pair then unleash dual gouts of fire on the Hunters, fires so intense and infernal that even the water cannot help shield against it. The heroes are mostly successful in repelling the flames, but each takes varying amounts of damage from the assault.
The bloodied Hunters can feel now fiery auras around the demon sharks which makes their exposed wounds burn. Magically sped up by the demon sharks, the mundane ones rush into combat, largely ignoring magical marks in favour of striking bloodied foes. Rahman's Aegis and Kihtsah's divine protection guard him from both of one shark's attacks, but the other completely savages Teshiq. The third one savages Medinah severely as well.
A new shark enters the fray behind Hakhpur; it is revealed as another illusion after it brutally savages him. The Pahari evidently tries to renew her spell, but her dweomer fails; she loses her concealment.
Admajai-Speakers:
SpoilerStay back! I promise you blood, children, but you must wait!
SpoilerFrom the Breath Weapons, Rahman takes 47 fire damage. Teshiq takes 36 fire damage. The rest take 23 fire damage.
From the charging sharks, massive damage is inflicted. Medinah takes 25 damage then 44 damage, for a total of 69 damage. Teshiq takes 23 damage, then 44 damage, for a total of 67 damage. Both take a total of ongoing 15 damage. Kihtsah is missed by the one-two punch aimed at him. Hakhpur takes 19 psychic damage and suffers -2 to attacks until the end of his next turn. Rahman can use his Aegis to lessen the damage on one of the attacks aimed @ Teshiq, since that shark is marked by him. Map updates to come tomorrow afternoon, when I have a bit more time to polish them up.
Oh, and before you all have aneurisms, I just blew every single encounter power available to these monsters in one turn, and got two crits on some of the nastiest ones of the lot.

Medinah
"*Rrrrrrhh* No!" the warforged growls emphatically just as the charging shark's jaws closed in on her, and she's surrounded by that pitch-black bubble, which absorbs the full impact of the attack.

Amirah, Living Swarm
"Oooh, the invisible lady doesn't seem to like when we give her fish bloody noses!" Amirah points out, as hundreds of her insects savage the fins of the escaping shark.

Re: [Hourglass of Zihaja D&D 4e] Heroes on a Sea of Swords IC
[As stated in the OoC thread, my actions hinge on information that I haven't yet received because I just asked for it now. Making an assumption for the time being.]
Hakhpur
Finding himself uncomfortably close to the vicious behemoths currently occupied with making mincemeat of his allies, Hakhpur activates his Boots of the Fencing Master to put some space between himself and the sharks. Then, flailing in the water a best as he can in his sodden robes, he swims toward the Sorceress. Hakhpur opens his mouth to shout out something pithy, but at the last second decides to attack with Thunder Breath instead. A shockwave erupts forward, compressing the water between sorcerer and Sorceress and sending it rocketing out toward Hakhpur's foe.
SpoilerMinor: Boots of the Fencing Master, shift to -A10, depth G.
Move: Swim, move to -A13
Standard: Thunder Breath, targets only the Pahari.
(1d20+18)[30] vs. Fortitude
Hit: (2d6+20)[28] thunder damage, and the target is dazed until the end of Hakhpur's next turn.

Re: [Hourglass of Zihaja D&D 4e] Heroes on a Sea of Swords IC
Kihtsah Darimil, Dervish of Adimas
One of the sharks falters before Kihtsah's assault and is pushed up the surface, putting the half genie in position to strike at his oathbound target. Even as he swings his blade at the demonic shark, he binds the Pahari with a prayer to Adimas.
Minor: Fury's Advance on S2, Pushing it to E8-F9, depth A, shifting to D7, depth C
Move: Shift to D8, depth D
Attack: Chains of Censure on DS2
SpoilerDamage roll from the Fury's Advance-(1d8+6)[9] + an additional 3 damage as it ends the push adjacent to Rahman.

(1d20+18)[33]

Amirah, Living Swarm
"You know, you are not the only one with friends in the sea," Amirah projects, almost chattily as the cloud of insects become defined and her 'arms' perform the summon ritual. "Your fish may have more teeth, but I think mine bites better"
The massive crocodile burst outs of the portal between the Pahari and her allies, making his best to grab her while she is dazed.
