Madness, Blood and Thunder in Ravens Bluff IC

[candycorn]

Magnus

Magnus takes a powerful hit from one of the throng, but ignores it, as it barely manages to bleed him. He continues to focus on the ones in front, that can actually hit Jorran or Mirielle.

Swift to arrange essentia: 2 weapon, 2 astral, 1 spellward

Crusader Strike on G7, Stone power for 2.

Healing on Keeva: (1d6+4)[7] (crusader's strike and martial spirit)

[Sallera]

"Little troublesome." Taking careful aim at the irritating blue, Aya fires a single arrow, then slips off behind the rock wall, setting up a more comfortable position out of the psion's sight; there was no telling whether he could do that again, and as much as she disliked admitting it, another shot would probably be the end of her.

One shot at B3, then move to O17 and hide.
Attack: (1d20+9)[21]
Damage: (1d8+3)[5] + 1 electricity
Hide: (1d20+10)[14]

[Jeff the Green]

Mirielle sighs in dismay as Keeva goes down. She begins to stoop to carry her out of the cave mouth, when Magnus's strike and the attendant burst of energy revives her. Mirielle redirects her attention to the goblins, but not before she shouts at Keeva. "What did I tell you? Get where the blues can't see you!"

Delaying until after Magnus. Attack G3:

Keeva

Keeva groans as she gets up and steps backwards. She taps the side of her crossbow, and transfers the energy to Aya.

Spoiler

Standing up from Prone and 5-foot-stepping to K17.
IoP on Aya.

[TheFallenOne]

Spoiler

Show

as said in the OOC, Keeva can't act this turn since she's healed after her initiative count. Turn it into a nice description of Keeva going down while avoiding enough of the fire not to die from it

Mirielle and Magnus strike true, and the positive energy the smith channeled with this strike flows to Keeva, ushering her back from the brink of death. One of the goblins goes down, the other staggering back, coughing blood and clutching at his broken rips. One Blue is down to his crossbow, and the other one seems to have exhausted most of his mental powers as well, abandoning the cover of the column and switching to a smaller conjuration of a slippery ectoplasmic goo in place of his previous elemental assaults.

I hate you Mr 500

[Sallera]

One of the goblins' arrows nicks Aya's arm; the other slices across the side of her neck, dangerously close to the artery. Clasping a hand to the wound, she wills herself to stillness, carefully keeping her breathing even. "Magnus? Mirielle? Don't suppose you could send a little help this way?"

Spoiler

Show

At 0hp. Delaying until after Magnus and Mirielle, in case Magnus gets to hit something this round.

[candycorn]

Magnus

Magnus sees the severely damaged nature of the back line, and hisses, "If you're getting pummeled, get out of sight. There's a lot of archery flying our way, and your archery skills are getting most of it sent to you!"

Spoiler

Show

AoO: (1d20+6)[12]
Damage: (1d8+6)[7]
If hit, heal 2 to Aya.

Reflex: (1d20+4)[5] DC 14[/roll]

If I fall, I'll stand back up (yes, I know it provokes, and I know they're probably rogues), and swing at F1.

New maneuver: (1d2)[2] (this round), All maneuvers (start of next round).

I get either Leading the Attack or Vanguard Strike this round. Whichever it is, I use it. Only difference is that Leading the Attack is a morale bonus, and Vanguard Strike is untyped.

Attack: (1d20+6)[14] (If I'm hit for more than 6 damage, channel the +1 from furious counterstrike into Stone Power)
Damage: (1d8+5)[8] (+1 if I'm hit for more than 6 damage)
If hit, heal Aya 2 more

[candycorn]

Sigh.

I can always count on a 1 when I need to make a reflex save.

**Fate Card used. Reroll.

(1d20+4)[17]

[Sallera]

Nodding her thanks as the wound closes enough for safety, Aya turns toward the archers with a fierce grin. Shouldn't have let you be.

Spoiler

Show

Rapid Shot at A2, continuing to A1 if necessary, then 5ft step to P18. Rolls in OOC.

[Jeff the Green]

Mirielle sees the subtle signs that Aya needs healing, but against her better judgement lets her be. She sets her jaw and focuses on the goblins in front of her, measuring her strikes to hit them in the occasional vulnerable spots. A kidney, a thin sternum, a weak knee.

Attack Gd:

Jorran swings at the retreating goblin before turning his attention back to the plated creature in front of him, trying to smash through his armor.

Keeva loads up a bolt and fires at one of the Archers, tossing a spark of power to Magnus.

Spoiler

Move Action: Reload, Standard Action: Fire, Instant of Power on Magnus. Aiming for A3.

Hit: (1d20+5)[15]
Damage: (2d8)[9]

[TheFallenOne]

With a lot of effort Jorran and Magnus retain their balance on the slippery surface. Magnus grievously wounds the bodyguard previously hit by one of Keeva's bolts, bringing him off balance to create an opening as well as mending Aya's neckwound. All other efforts go to waste, and the goblins keep coming at you, though the Blue takes a moment's pause, conserving his strength.

Jorran gets a cut from the goblin's falchion and falls into the grease as a result. He snarls and spring back up, raising his sword over his head, towering over the smaller goblinoid. "You little bastard, I'm going to feed you to the farmers' pigs!" He swings the sword down on the creature.

Also, would the previous Frightful Scream stack with this one, if I get G2 with the Intimidating Shout? Because that would send him to frightened.

Noticing Magnus gearing up for a strike, Mirielle times an attack to throw the goblin off balance.

Keeva

Keeva reloads from her position on the ground, charging Magnus with her wand.

Just gonna lie here for a round, and IoP on Magnus.

[TheFallenOne]

Spoiler

Show

OK this is troublesome since Candycorn already posted her turn so we'd need another do-over... If you use the wand on someone else could you announce it for the following turn instead of the current if the target posted before you?

For this time I'll let IoP apply for Magnus's next turn

Aya disposes of one of the archers, and Magnus deals the finishing blow to one of the falchion-wielding goblins, filling his allies with new vigor. Jorran delivers a nasty blow to the other platearmored goblin after regaining his feet when the greasy surface made him slip, and the goblin is disheartened seeing the warrior's contempt for their feeble blows. The Blue, seeing the little success his minions have in wounding Magnus and the unusual healing energy he provides, expends the last of his mental powers to strike at the resolute smith.
