Hey, 18th Avenger, I'm pretty sure that drawing a weapon is a minor action, so I believe you can still attack.

My bad, I didn't notice that. Changed the map accordingly, and he missed the OA.

Actually, 18th Avenger, there are some issues regarding this. Yes, drawing a weapon is a minor action...but so is sheathing a weapon. So, to keep his weapon and draw a new one would be 2 minor actions. Alternatively, you can drop your previous weapon (a free action), and draw the crossbow (a minor action).

Luckily, a hand crossbow is a load free weapon, meaning that loading it is a free action, so there's that.

Alright, here's what I'll edit; he sheathes the mace and draws the crossbow. I'm cool with waiting, really.

@kornwiser: Great set of rolls, though.

I think I know why your rolls aren't working -- [roll] tags only work when used during the initial post. They cannot be edited in (or out without generating an error) after. In general, botched rolls can be done in the OOC thread, then referenced from the IC thread. This way, the IC thread doesn't get cluttered up.

I was wondering why the roll didn't work myself... But I suppose Leewei's explanation is the proper one...

EDIT: @Alakokaine: Nice rolls.

Anyway, next action's gonna be my first At-Will. I'm gonna rattle the Wyrmpriest with Disheartening Strike.

Kids, I ain't gonna lie when I said I was a bit annoyed by the slowness of the updates. But then you all explained yourselves and I checked myself. So now I say; you all take your time and take care. I'm cool with it now.

But with regards to the rolls currently being made, we cooking with gasoline now!

Some pointers:

Alakokain, I do hope you meant to attack KD, not KS. KS is wayyyy above you.

Leewei, if I'm not wrong, Gaze of Defiance is a divine attack! I took the liberty of rolling for you (11), but do remember next time!

@Vesth: Can I hit the wyrmpriest from where I'm standing? I know he's well-within the 10-square range of my hand crossbow but I want to be sure.

You're right about the power being divine -- I was under the impression that the activation roll was the same as the attack roll for single target powers. Is this not the case?

Sorry about that, 18th Avenger. That annoys me as well. Normally, I'll post in the morning (such as now).

Missed by a wide margin.

But is my second action right? After my at-will, I drop my hand crossbow so I can take up my mace in a two-handed grip.

If KD is confirmed down from the 31 damage inflicted this round, I'll act sooner. Otherwise, I'll hold off to let others benefit from that power bonus.

Vesth, is Rain's HP at 6 or 7? I couldn't tell if the healing went through and she was at full when the witch's latest bolt hit her, or if Arkaya's healing had already brought her up to full. I need to know for the purpose of shifter...shifting.

18th Avenger: Yes you can. Also, you can drop my hand crossbow so I can take up my mace! It's a standard (attacking), free (dropping weapon), minor (take mace). Perfectly acceptable!

Leewei: Oops, my bad. Yeah, it's the same roll. You must be annoyed by a certain GM that's not me too, huh. Also, 31 damage, where did that come from? Boendal does hit, but that brings his total damage to 29, not 31.

Ildu: You took 6 damage in total during this fight. So yes, you have 7 hp. You didn't get healed, because Leewei said to heal bloodied people, and you're not bloodied...yet. On a related note, the driver wasn't bloodied during Arkaya's last turn, but he is now.

Boendal crit for 25 on his current turn (this was not edited into the IC post, but the natural "20" is evident there); Arkaya hit with a feeble Gaze of Defiance for 6 damage on the previous turn. As far as I can tell, KD has taken 41 damage now.

As far as the other DM goes -- I certainly wish he'd pick up the pace, but I'm glad he's still posting.

Oh yeah, the crit.

KD has indeed taken 41 damage...and died. This would have affected Hawthorn, except she missed again.

Actually, they worked fine. Since the roller only works on the original post, I put in additional contingencies to reduce the number of posts. The driver should be pretty thoroughly patched up for now, and Arkaya should have one remaining Healing Word use.

Does anyone want to fire some final shots? There's no way any of you can catch up to them, what with their minor shift ability and double run, haha.

Ditto on that. As someone relatively new to 4e, the combat was surprisingly easy to follow, while challenging enough to keep me on my toes and checking my powers.

All-in-all, I'm a little worried about the monk's versatility without expending an encounter or daily power. Probably should've at least used Drunken Monkey at some point. Though the "slide enemies around" is quite fun. But I'm getting off-topic here.

So... where to now?
