[4E] Snowbody's Keep on the Shadowfell OOC

[Dekkah]

played my turn.
If I dont kill the slinger now. he sure felt that one :).

[Snowbody]

Yep that's a kill.

I had originally written the condition to require that you sustain first, but nothing else works that way, so I changed it to a regular sustain. Mertes attacked without the -2. But he'll have to make an endurance roll to resume sustaining next turn.

and the usual minor issues, kobold not goblin, concealment not cover, let's roll that OA now:

(1d20+8)[15](23) for (1d4+3)[6] - 5

1 point of damage to Mertes! (That's before he got the THP)

[Dekkah]

Sorry... you read my game, you know why I write goblin all the time lol...


BTW, was that the Minion attack or the sligner?... because I dont provoke Oa from the slinger (I aproach him diagonaly.)

Maybe the minions isnt a minion after all... that is something I kinda do all the time myself lol.

[Snowbody]

...wait a minute...let me check that again.

Right, provoking an OA only happens when you leave a square. So Mertes didn't take any damage from OAs. Sorry.

[tedthehunter]

Woops! That ought to be +13 to my attack, not +17. Still enough to make mincemeat of that minion I think, though.

[Snowbody]

Yes, that minion is obviously dead.

These are Monster Vault kobolds. Be glad they don't have Mob Attack (+1 to attack for bonus for each additional kobold adjacent to the target).

Game Alert

I will be out of town, with no Internet access, from Friday at noon until some time Sunday. Depending on how things go at home, I might be able to make a post Sunday evening.

[Snowbody]

The good guys now all go in the same initiative block. If you take out all the minions you win. If you can get rid of 4 minions, Rat and the boys will take out the last one without having to roll. If you can get rid of 3 minions (leaving 2), Rat will direct the boys to open fire, but they'll have to roll, and if there's only one minion left after that Rat will charge it.

[Shadow_Elf]

Aww, poor crit, wasted on a minion. Watch it be one of the ones that still has that avoid-an-AoE thing, too.

[Dekkah]

I'll roll endurance here since it my affect the way I play my turn.

endurance to resist hand penalty) : (1D20+7)[23] VS DC 10

Less the "a few teeth knocked out" thing and more the "brains splattered on the forest floor while the Angel of Death gloats" thing. But you knew that.

I'm pretty sure my minions have rolled more 20s attacking you guys than you guys have rolled 20s attacking my minions.

On the plus side, the boys will NEVER call her bluff again when she tries to be all intimidating and stuff towards them. XD

[tedthehunter]

Woops! Looks like my attack roll didn't go through.

Here's another one (1d20+11)[16] vs. AC

[Snowbody]

Congratulations on defeating the kobolds!

XP is:

10 minions - 3 allied minions = 7 minions	25 XP	175 XP
1 quickblade	100 XP	100 XP
2 dragonshield	125 XP	250 XP
1 slinger	100 XP	100 XP
		------
		625 XP

divide by 4, that's 156 each.

If you want to search for loot, post in the IC thread.

[Snowbody]

Okay, so you get a short rest.

Everyone gets another action point for passing a milestone. (You'll need it)

How many surges are people spending?

How many healing words is Zimelda going to give out? She can give out one immediately, but then she can't give out any more until the end of the short rest. If she gives out any at that point, she won't be able to use them during the next combat encounter, unless she takes another short rest.

[Lycan 01]

Zimelda will use one Surge for herself, and one Healing Word for Mertes. If he still needs healing, he's got a Second Wind...

[Shadow_Elf]

No surge spent, I'm good to go. Just want my encounter powers back.

I just realized, this is a very close/melee oriented team. I have a grand total of 1 ranged power (2 if you count a summoning), and the rest have less. At least we're also quite defensive/bulky.

[Snowbody]

hmm, if only there were some kind of ranged weapon just lying around the battlefield!

[Dekkah]

Zimelda's extra HP healed by healing word on Mertes (1D6+3)[7]

[Snowbody]

I'm still making the map for inside the cave. I'm not going to bother with line-of-sight.

What is your plan of attack? My guess is it will involve Mertes climbing the cliff (though the kobolds don't know that).

[Dekkah]

Well I can do that, but now that the kobold isnt there anymore, maybe we should not split up... what do you guys think?

[Snowbody]

There's a curtain blocking line-of-sight through the upper (east) entrance where the sentry peeked out of. You don't know if a kobold is currently behind it.

[Dekkah]

Ok, I'll probably climb up check in if there is enemies.
If It doesnt seem to link up with the rest of the cavern quickly, I'll just climb back donw adn enter with the other though.

[Snowbody]

I think Arjhan is supposed to have a few more HP -- he gets Resist 2 all UENT whenever he spends a healing surge.

He took 3 hits the round after he healed; so he should have 6 more HP.

A system crash and an accidental "quit-without-saving" means I've still got a bit more work to do on the map.

What's everyone's HP and surge count?

[Lycan 01]

Zimelda is at 24 HP and 5 surges remaining, I believe.

[Shadow_Elf]

Are you also accounting for the fact that, as a Dragonborn, he adds his Con mod to his HS value?

Alessa only took the one hit, and did not spend any surges. On my phone right now, so it's not trivial to check the exact number just now.

[Dekkah]

Here is my status after the rest :
HP :...39/39...TEMP HP :...0
Surge Value :...8
Surge left/surge per day :...6/12
AC:...17...FORT:...17... REF:...14...WILL:...14...

His healing surge value is 1/4 his HP, rounded down, plus his con mod. Yep. His char sheet doesn't reflect that.

So he healed to full, got the resist all 2, then took 3 more hits. He didn't heal after that.

Alessa only took the one hit, and did not spend any surges. On my phone right now, so it's not trivial to check the exact number just now.

I think it was 7 damage.

[Shadow_Elf]

Oh, that much? Cheeky little quickblade, I hadn't notice how hard that hit. Yeah, I'll spend a surge to go back to full HP, I've got plenty of them, so I might as well.

EDIT: Which puts me at 10/11 Surges remaining, by the way.

[Snowbody]

Map is done!

So this is the plan as I understand it:

1. Mertes climbs up the high cliff (he doesn't need to roll, it's within one turn's movement for him and there's no penalty for failure)
2. Mertes goes through the curtain and kills any enemies he finds there
3. Mertes checks if the passage links up with the cavern behind the waterfall:

• If it doesn't, he'll come back and report, then a new plan will be decided upon.
• If it does connect, he'll stay inside and the rest of the party will attack:

A. Alessa goes in first to draw javelins and other low-damage attacks
B. Arjhan follows close behind after enemies reveal themselves
C. Zimelda enters shortly thereafter
D. Rat and the boys only enter when it's confirmed to be safe

[Dekkah]

I'll only add that I dont go in too far (let say no more than 20 feet inside unless I see it link up to the waterfall)
And I'll also havea javelin ready.... in case an enemy/sentry would be a bit far away.
