Medinah

Medinah's eyes flared red at the mention of "Her Majesty," which she knew could only mean one person.

"I permitted Vertasi a lawful, merciful death according to the custom of your kind. If she yet lives, she will not be so fortunate at our next encounter--nor will you be today," she stated coldly before bringing the weight of her curse to bear against Moroque.

Standard: Eldritch Strike against Mo
Con (weapon) vs. AC: (1d20+21)[41]
Hit: (1d8+14)[20] psychic damage + (2d6)[11] from Curse Strike + (2d6)[6] from Warlock's Curse + slide 1 square to K14 I14 + psychic lock + protective hex. Total damage per crit, rolled in OOC thread, is 57.

Movement: If I hit and slide Mo to K14 I14 then I'll shift to J13. Otherwise I'll shift to J12.

The katar-and-cloak-wielding warrior is struck by the rhythm of Kihtsah's blades, accepting the hit but reversing the kobold's momentum to send him falling off the edge. He tries to confuse Rahman with his cloak, but the alchemist isn't fooled. He then slashes out with his katar at Rahman and Medinah, wounding both, but Rahman floods a wave of aegis magic to interrupt the strikes, lessening the blows. Having accomplished that, he backs off slightly onto the bridge.

The warforged thrown into the pit by Rahman's battlefist stands up and initiates a repair protocol similar to the one Medinah often performs. As it repairs itself, it charges the prone Kihtsah and leaves a slash in his side.

The vampire laughs at Medinah's threat. Do you truly believe you could beat the Pirate Queen unless she allowed you to win? he boasts, lashing out with blade and magic at Rahman and Amirah. Between Medinah's curse magic and Rahman's aegis, however, he has no luck landing a blow. He proceeds to rush up the cliff to stand next to Jalil. Hello there, Lady Farun, he says, with a predatory smile.

Crunch:

Kihtsah's weaving blades push is negated and converted into a push on him, and he fails his edge saving throw, putting him in the pit. He then uses a close burst slash attack on Medinah and Rahman, dealing 35 damage to both, but Rahman uses his armor of aegis expansion to negate 13 damage to each. Rahman is bloodied and looses an Energy Conservation surge. Kitsah takes 5 falling damage.

The warforged stands up, uses Warforged Resolve, and then charges the prone Kihtsah. 18 damage, and Kihtsah is marked until the end of Warforged 1's next turn, and bloodied.

Moroque misses twice, but avoids AoOs from Rahman and Amirah due to a power effect. Figment and Jalil both get opportunity attacks if they choose, however.

I don't mean to gang up on Kihtsah, he just keeps putting himself smack dab in the middle of things.

Alvah's up.

Anyone on the pit level can pass under the bridge (i.e., it's all one big pit). The yellow line at the top represents a rope ladder which trivializes climb checks made to get up to the upper level.

There is now also a rope leading from the pit floor to the main floor in C16.

The man across the room that appears to be in charge is a vampire, a villainous undead creature that bears a semblance of life. It was a creature such as this that attacked Captain Farid's mother while she was pregnant, resulting in Shaur's fangs and bloodthirst. They are not dissuaded by garlic, and wooden stakes will serve you no better than a traditional stabbing weapon.

History 25 or Medinah:

Spoiler

The Warforged before you are cheap models, the mass-produced results of early Admajai experiments in the field of false life. Even still, such generic warforged are worth a small fortune in the modern era, where the art of creating even a simple one is all but lost. Naturally, it would be very strange for common bandits to have them, and the capacity to reprogram them for their own ends.

The Human Warrior on the bridge wields a cloak in one hand and a katar in the other.

The two Warforged Soldiers wield a longsword and a buckler each.

The humans on the upper level wield bayonetted crossbows.

The man at the back has a short sword belted at his hip.

Alvah Nasab, Voice of Thunder
Seeing Kihtsah been overhelmed, the bard let out a low whistle and a weave of sound surround the avenger as the warforged charge him, preventing some damage. The wild bard tell his allies,
"Take care of these up here, I'll go help Kihtsah."
As he say so, he chant a few words that heal and bolster the avenger and teleport him a few feet away from his flanked position. As this happens, Alvah also teleport mid air into the pit falling nimbly on his feet on the ground.
The half-marid body alter itself a little, some fine fog surround him and his wound are mending themselves.
Looking at the enemies around him, the bard smile and say,
"You should'nt mess with the thunder!"
A blast of energy slam against the enemies slamming them onto the walls behind them.

Kihtsah Darimil, Dervish of Adimas

His world spun around several times, the half-kobold takes a second to catch his breath. "Thank you, Alvah. Your movements come in useful sometimes, it seems."

He quickly returns to his foe. "Miss me?" He asks as his blade tries to knock aside the Katar and land a blow. As the same time, spectral chains leap from his blade, not moving towards the warrior though, but to one of the warforged below.

Amirah, Living Swarm

Amirah and Figment both miss their swipes at the vampire as it moved next to them. With the creature well out of their reach, they both turn as one to look at the human standing his ground. They had seen him throw Kitsah down into the pit, and Amirah makes certain she won't be thrown as well. Figment advances first, distracting him with her illusions, as Amirah gathers speed. Then, the cloud of insects rushes forward, enveloping the target and attempting to get behind his defences.

Jalil Farun

The winds die out suddenly as Jalil turns her attention to the vampire beside her. She holds back her dagger and allows him to gain the ledge unmolested. "I would say it's pleasant to meet you, but that would be a lie. Please, be graceful and let this second rest be your final." Jalil says and takes a small step back as the lightning arcs from her dagger into a bolt that streaks towards the vampire, a part of it forking off and rushing towards one of the crossbowmen below.

Alvah's sudden appearance down in the pit seems to startle those present; as he lands and rolls back to his feet, the wave of thunder he unleashes bashes his foes about, and he manages to remove Kihtsah from the flanking position while they are distracted. He calls upon his racial heritage and causes a light swirling rain to appear around him, offering protection to himself and his allies.

Meanwhile, Kihtsah brings himself to his feet and strikes at the nearest warforged. His strike is parried, however, despite the warforged's heavily damaged state. Amirah's swarm and Figment rush the lone warrior on the top level, summarily ending his life with a lacerating rush of insect incisors. His oath fulfilled, Kihtsah gains the right to declare a new foe for his ire.

Jallil backs onto a narrow cliff edge to get out of the reach of Moroque's sword and magic, but the lightning bolts she aims to knock him off the precipice go wildly awry, hitting neither of her intended targets. The smug vampiric pirate laughs, pointing his sword at her threateningly with a predatory grin on his lips.

Rahman teleports down into the pit, arriving next to the warforged and one of the archers. He wraps his Aegis around both, and then passes his battlefist across his sword blade, igniting it. He paints a wall of flame around him, making things uncomfortable for both of his foes.

In the pit, the two archers recover briefly from Alvah's blast. As the half-marid overcomes the poison in his veins, he feels suddenly weak from exertion, and the two archers capitalize on this, firing on him, though both leave themselves open to counterattack. Despite Rahman triggering his Aegis and slowing one of the bolts, they have a rather devastating effect, and Alvah suddenly finds himself regretting being so exposed. The sudden burst of pain breaks his concentration, and his racial powers fizzle away, leaving an ineffectual puddle on the floor around him.

One of the warforged magically reinforces itself, then positions itself so that it is surrounded by Kihtsah, Rahman and Alvah, and then it strikes with shield and longsword in a complex technique, attempting to injure all of its foes. Kihtsah parries the blow with his off-hand weapon and Rahman's warding blocks the wild blow, but Alvah is not so fortunate. The warforged's shield bashes him in the head, and the marid nearly passes out. The maneuver leaves it open to attack from Rahman and Alvah, and the former lands a painful strike on the machine's chassis.

Crunch:

Alvah is weakened as an aftereffect of the OG5 poison. One archer shifts away, the other stands up, they both reload and then shoot Alvah. They rolled... very high. He takes 75 damage, plus ongoing 5 more damage (which he will resist, but the aftereffect is still relevant). Becoming bloodied shuts off his Healing Rain ability. Rahman uses his Aegis of Shielding, reducing the damage by 16 to just 59.

S2 and W2 take 12 autodamage from Rahman's Flamewall Strike.

The warforged then walks between Alvah and Kihtsah and uses a CBurst 1 Attack, which misses Kihtsah and Rahman but hits Alvah for 22 damage. Alvah takes OG5 from the warforged until he attacks the warforged (no save). This doesn't stack with the other OG, and he resists enough for both anyway, so it doesn't even matter.

Alvah can make opportunity attacks against S1, S2 and W2, if he wants.

It is Medinah's turn.

"My anima blade was set upon her throat. I permitted her to live, an error I will not make twice--assuming you are to be believed," she continued, whether Moroque was still listening or not.

To make her point clear, she swung her blade and flung bolts of energy at the vampiric pirate and the two crossbowmen, taking advantage of the momentary distraction to shift her stance forward.

All right, I'll have to post the move and minor actions after resolving the standard action since it's contingent on whether she hits at least 1 target or not.

Standard action: Skirmisher's Volley at Mo, S1 and S2.
Con (implement) vs. Reflex
Mo: (1d20+19)[30]
S1: (1d20+19)[33]
S2: (1d20+19)[36]

Hit: (1d8+10)[18] psychic damage + (2d6)[12] curse damage (on Mo if he's hit, otherwise S1) + psychic lock + protective hex. She also shifts 1 square +1 square per target hit by this attack.

To be continued...

Medinah

Despite her foe-induced lethargy, Medinah was able to shift forward enough to get within range of Moroque to use her hellish mode of transportation: she vanished in a cloud of brimstone, only to appear behind the vampire. The lingering brimstone bound the warrior in her aegis, at least temporarily.

Spoiler

Show

That 36 at least is a hit, so she can shift at minimum to I-14. From there she uses her move action to teleport to F-19 via Avernian Challenge. As a result, she marks Moroque UEMNT.

I'm assuming S2 isn't within her LoS, but W2 should be so Medinah will curse it using her minor action.

Permitted her to live! Har! The Pirate Queen of Liars seeks permission from no one! If in your hubris you truly think you won any exchange with our glorious Queen... more the fool you! laughs Moroque in reply, though his retort is punctuated by a disorienting bolt of curse magic striking him in the chest. When Medinah appears behind him, the vampiric pirate simply smiles a fanged grin, but the grin is wiped off his face when he sees that the other curse bolt took down one of his crossbowmen.

The other warforged in the pit shifts aside and strikes at Rahman, fooled by Kihtsah into thinking the half-kobold is an ally. Though the alchemist tries to block the strike with his warding, the warforged's blade finds a chink in the magic and injures Rahman.

Ignoring Medinah, the pirate turns his attention to Jalil. I have never feasted on the blood of a sabi before. Tell me, is it true that not but air flows in your veins? Let us find out! He sidesteps Medinah and lunges at Jalil, teeth bared. Medinah's curse magic foils the strike, however, and the sabi sorceress sidesteps what becomes a rather clumsy lunge. Furious, he gestures towards the remaining crossbowman, as magic gives the cornered man a chance to slip side of Alvah.

The warforged knight shifts and attacks Rahman for 19 damage and marked.

Alvah Nasab, Voice of thunder.
As the archers and soldiers leave themselves open, the bard swing at them, injuring them very slightly, as the poison stealth some of his strenght. The half-marid is hit from all sides and sustain severe injuries. Wincing in pain, he keep singing and a second burst of energy errupt from him and hit the enemies. It is weaker than anticipated, as the poison is also sapping some of the effect.

The many opens wounds should bleed out, and Alvah should feel the poison burning in his veins, but his great thoughness make him ignore them completly. Being out of healing, the bard only smile and say,
"Doom is coming for you all, named Amirah... Rahman ... Kihtsah."
As he yell each name, the bard slam his sword onto his light shield and a loud note blast at each enemy. As the blast hit them, the ally named appear beside the targeted creature, and Alvah himself teleport beside the archer.
Satisfied of his work, the bard step back out of reach of the archer and relatively safe from the warforge with his defender to block him.

Amirah's form coalesces into her humanoid shape to hold the crossbow offered to her by Kitsah, her head at a slight angle. "Why did you not kill him? He is but a male, unimportant. And a wasp!pirate, too. There are plenty more where he came from, and he had no problem killing Us"

Taking the crossbow in her weak arms, she struggles to raise it, several dozen insects rushing upwards to join the faltering arms. Even then, the point trembles, but thankfully her target is large enough to make it impossible to miss. Squeezing the trigger, she lets the arrow shoot upwards carrying the rope, then drops the crossbow. The insects start scurrying up the rope, the mass that is Amirah stretching as it crawls upwards.Figment, in the meantime, moves slightly backwards, keeping Amirah in her sight, but also blocking the exit to the best of her ability.

"And it seems you never will. Undeath does not suit your complexion - nor your reflexes." Jalil says and steps lightly onto the air as she thrusts her forked dagger into the side of the vampire. A massive wind rises up behind her and rushes at the vampire, trying to slam him against the back wall.

As it says "at any point" I'm presuming that I can make the attack before I move.

Damage
(2d4+9)[13] 29 damage and the Vampire is slid 6 squares to B18 and then 1 square to C17. It's all the same forced movement, just flavoring it as bouncing him off the wall and dropping him into the pit.

After the attack she will fly to F13 (on the bridge). Hopefully he won't be there to take an Opportunity Attack.

[Shadow_Elf]

Iludai Cave Network
Medinah's swordstroke finally manages to draw blood from the pirate. Moroque vaults to his feet, waving his hand to send a burst of necrotic energy at Medinah to distract her as he runs down the wall next to the ladder onto the level below. The magic bounces off the Warforged's warding harmlessly, but she doesn't get to make the passing swipe she was ready for. He leaps off the wall, landing near the top of the rope Amirah is climbing. With a grin, his shortsword sweeps down, slicing the rope and forcing the swarm back to the bottom of the pit in a painful heap.

Crunch:

Spoiler

Show

Moroque is bloodied, but I think Alvah used his THP on Kihtsah already this round. He then stands and then spiderclimbs down, jumping at the end of his movement to finish in B15. He uses an ability that lets him attack and avoid AoOs during the movement, so for the first attack, he strikes Medinah with some magic, and for the second, he cuts the rope.

His attack misses Medinah by quite a large margin. Amirah falls 20 ft taking 17 falling damage, and is prone. It is Alvah's turn.

Amirah, Living Swarm

Amirah spirals back into a standing position, her hands forming the magic gestures even before the arms are fully built. Figment rushes forward to distract Moroque. While the vampire is charged by Figment's illusion, Amirah's magical wind buffets the upper ledge, assaulting Moroque from behind and dragging him towards the pit with the rest of them.

Then, without even looking up to see the effect of her attack, Amirah steels herself for the shock and calls the insects in her vicinity, attempting to wrestle them into control and away from the whispers in the cavern. She is not as successful as previously, though, and her form starts to shake as she struggles to retain control.

Spells and swords assault the prone vampire from all sides; some hit and others do not, but the foul creature survives the assault. He drags himself to his feet. I am Moroque, First Mate aboard the Drums of War! You can kill me, and my crew. But my Captain WILL find you in this subterranean labyrinth, and you will ALL die! he shouts, brandishing his short sword. He lunges at Rahman fangs first. Medinah's layers and layers of curse magic, and her Aegis, bring him short once again, and the vampire howls in protest.

Moroque recharges Blood Drain and uses it on Rahman. Medinah's effective -8 to his attack puts a stop to that, though. Not sure off-hand if a miss triggers her Aegis, but if it does, go ahead and resolve that. Given his death ability, I don't think I'll handwave the end of this fight; you have it in the bag for sure, but whether or not he gets away depends a great deal on timing and whatnot.

The Human Warrior on the bridge wields a cloak in one hand and a katar in the other.

The two Warforged Soldiers wield a longsword and a buckler each.

The humans on the upper level wield bayonetted crossbows.

The man at the back has a short sword belted at his hip.

Amirah, Living Swarm

Amirah visibly struggles as her swarm fights off the mental control of the bugs attracted to it. As the swarm expands and contracts, a battle fighting to establish the dominant mind, the warm randomly moves close enough to the vampire that hundreds of the creatures take a second to bite, gnaw and rip and the creature in search of an easy meal. Not all of them are under Amirah's command but, somehow, she doubts Moroque will be able to tell the difference.

Moroque
As the vampire is struck by the swarm trying to devour his undead flesh, his body dissolves into mist before the bugs can take a proper bite. The now-cloud-of-mist drifts to the other side of the pit.

Moroque Shifts to F10 and is Insubstantial. Amirah's Attack is, sadly, negated (but not wasted; the killing blow would have been cancelled regardless, and a non-crit would not have triggered it).

It is Kihtsah's turn.

Amirah, Living Swarm

Finally establishing control over her form, Amirah sends a thought to the rest of the team, "He is trying to escape! He will head for his hive!coffin to heal himself," she explains. "The mist is as fast as a swarm in flight, and as difficult to destroy," she adds, not without a little pride, "but he can be hurt if we act quickly!"

Kihtsah Darimil, Dervish of Adimas

Kihtsah follows after him, swinging at the mist and able to find some purchase, thanks to the divine light of Adimas.

Overwhelming strike against AC:
(1d20+18)[38]
(1d20+18)[27]
Damage: (1d6+14)[19] (5 of which I should say is radiant and necrotic if that matters)

Fury's Advance against AC:
(1d20+18)[24]
(1d20+18)[29]
Damage: (1d7+10)[14] (+5 more radiant/necrotic if the first didn't hit)
On hit, if I can, push him to D15, where he takes 6 damage for two allies being adjacent.

Jalil fires a bolt of energy at the mist, but her aim is off and the bolt harmlessly hits a wall. Rahman, however, is luckier; a well timed charge brings his caustically enchanted sword swinging through the mist, and with an ethereal screech, Moroque is slain and the mist dissipates. A sudden quiet falls over the large chamber for the first time in over a minute of intense combat.

Alvah Nasab, Voice of thunder
The feirce bard look around for more enemies, but after a few seconds, calm also return to the half-marid demeanor. Streching his injured leg with a pained expression on his face, the bard ask,
"Are you guys alright? I gather that you have some backstory with that undead creature from what I understood?"
The bard pick up the bow and rope arrow and shoot up to secure a rope out of the pit. Once that is done, he start to check out the enemies corpses.
