The kobold's charge was a readied action, which used his immediate action for this round. He can't take any more immediate actions until after his next turn. This is completely separate from opportunity actions; he gets one per round. There is no restriction as to how many actions get triggered by a single action.

BTW, I just realized the damage expression was wrong; it should have been 1d6+3. It will be the same for any OA this round. So even if Alessa gets hit, she won't take much damage.

Also, if you want to show the ledge, you can doubleclick on the background, and when the dialog box pops up, click the rightmost icon, then click outside the dialog. That will change the background to the "upper" map.

Sorry for my absence, things have been kinda crazy, and I must admit I've gotten a tiny bit lost and confused.

Where's Zimelda currently? How long would it take her to get to where Alessa is now?

Zimelda is just outside the waterfall. Alessa is just inside the waterfall, two squares away, but the square under the waterfall is difficult terrain (except for Alessa) so it would take 3 squares of movement total.

Once Zimelda enters the cave, any readied actions will trigger, and then Zimelda can proceed with the rest of her move action and any other actions. The original plan was for her to wait until after Arjhan went in.

You don't have to be able to see an enemy to charge it, you just have to know it's there, and have a legal path to it.

I am not sure if I'll get shot by rain of javelin or not, but I might take my standard to second wind if I get hit a lot ...
Sorry, readied actions -- tipped off by the sentry kobold's yell. Apparently these kobolds practiced their marksmanship.

Yep. The sentry kobold warned them, and they all readied actions, so as soon as you came into view they all fired.

Anyone who sees an enemy (currently just Alessa & Mertes) may make a nature check to get some info about it -- but not if you already made a nature check for that enemy type today.

Yeah, that's a miss.

Sorry, too tired to make a narrative post now. Also the next quickblade is supposed to attack, but I can't think tactically.

As a bonus, here's the A/F/R/W for the current enemies you're facing:

Minions: 15/12/14/12
Quickblades: 15/12/14/12
Dragonshields: 18/14/13/13
Wyrmpriest: 17/13/15/15
Goblin: 16/16/14/15

Woohoo, got a crit!

Let me know if she Bloodied or Killed the Quickblade before you post. If she did, I want to activate Ruthless Demonstration.

Don't forget to use your free 1d8 damage from Executioner multiclass at some point in the fight! I don't have access to ccompendium right now, but you might even be able to declare it after the crit, to get a full bonus 8 damage.

Yes, it is a die normally rolled as part of an attack, and you choose after you know the attack hits, so you can declare it after the crit for 8 damage.

20 damage to the kobold bloodies it. (if Arjhan had hit, it would be dead). You get your ruthless demonstration.

Sight is not the only sense. By default in 4E, once you enter combat you know exactly where all enemies are even if you can't see them (fluff is you hear them/feel the vibrations of their feet/feel the disturbance in the air/magically sense their life force etc.). The exception is if the enemy succeeds a stealth check as part of a move action (or any action where it voluntarily moves) while it's got superior cover or total concealment with respect to you. The kobolds are good at stealth, but not perfect.

I don't think that's right. Your maximum HP is supposed to be 33, isn't it? That's what your character sheet says, and matches the surge value.

If so, then you're at 16/33 HP and thus still Bloodied.

Are we the Winterhaven Irregulars? I'm assuming yes now, but I initially assumed it was some group of comic-relief NPCs coming to help us .

I guess you aĞre looking at my myth-weaver sheet... I probably forgot to update it then.

My quick infomraiton status is the right one ... I have 39 HP and 17/17/14/14 in my defenses now.

Shadow : I'll activate Stone endurance (resist 5 to all damages)
I'll move to S7

What are the lighht condition there?
And does the hidden kobold shot at me?

I' still have a standar dleft BTW. I just want to know what happens before taking the rest of my turn.

Your quick info status block can't be right, it says your healing surge value is 8. Should it be 9?

That area is open to the main cavern so it has normal bright light. The three hidden kobolds shoot at you as soon as they spot you, 2 hits 1 miss, but no damage thanks to your resist.

If I recall correctly, its defenses are the same as yours, and it has half your hitpoints--is that right?

Hah! Life's Losing Hand (encounter power from Yakuza) allows Zimelda to reroll a natural 1, 2, or 3, and with a bonus equal to her Cha.


Healing Strike reroll:
(1d20+9)[28] vs AC



AWWWW YEAH.

Suck it, kobolds.

Your first attack was yet another crit against that poor quickblade. Buy you already rolled max damage, so the crit doesn't do anything special . Presumably, that quickblade is now very dead!

Wow, just wow. You guys might not even need your striker to clean house!

Unfortunately, thanks to those THP granted by the Wyrmpriest, Quickblade 1 is still alive (barely).
