Rustblade 7
Shroom 2
As Edwena advance on the other orc berserker, she watches out of the corner of her eye as the rogue is practically cut in half. She changes her course, running over to him as Fargrim protects the rogue. She kneels before Ridcully and begins praying for him as she pulls out the holy symbol of life. "Heal this warrior, great Avandra," she raises the symbol above her head.
Rustblade hastily draws his longsword, readies his shield and hacks at Vathalin..
hitting him.
Shroom stumbles forth from his hiding spot, tripping over his very own toes in deep anticipation, before haphazardly working the spell of the Flaming Sphere and conjuring in the midst of the orcish crew a rolling ball of fire which then assails Rustbucket mercilessly. With supernal agility and a mad cackle, the eladrin then hurls an orb of blasting force hoping to decimate thier ranks...!
The cramped stairwell flares up with heat and light for a second, and then a shuddering whoosh...as the force orb explodes in a sort of fireworks display, impacting the warforged heavily.
Vathalin is singed lightly by the flaming sphere, but he doggedly attacks the warforged soldier (Rustblade) with a follow-up of his Oath of Pursuit. He misses twice, but maneuvers as well as he can around and away from the flaming sphere, which still bounces menacingly nearby.
Neither of the bolt throwers are lucky enough to have any room to maneuver to, and each one is also burned by the flaming sphere.. one swipes at Vathalin ineffectually with his battleaxe, but the other one lands a vicious hack on Fargrim.
The mohawked orc berserker tries to kill Ridcully...but misses.
Seeing Ridcully seriously injured, Fargrim leaves the warforged for Vathalin to deal with and moves in front of Ridcully; shielding him from the orcs for a moment.
Fargrim attacks the orc berserker, swinging his double axe in tight and powerful vertical strokes. The legendary axe Glamerding suddenly flashes to life and hums with supernatural power as waves of icy cold pour out of it. Both attacks hit the orc who staggers backwards, horribly injured.. and then stiffens suddenly.
The orc berserker collapses, and Ridcully is revealed, standing behind him. He withdraws his vicious dagger.
From down below, the high-pitched underwater voice can be heard again...
"Rustblade! Rustblade, what is going on up there?!"
(any change in tactics? next round starts again with Edwena..)
==========OOC=============
Edwena heals Ridcully for surge +8 (that is 13 hp). Ridcully is currently at 14 hp. (thats a move, minor, and minor as she moves to where Ridcully is..heals and activates her symbol)
Rustblade draws his sword and shield and attacks Vathalin, hitting him (
with an 18) marking him, and
doing 5 damage. Vathalin is at 19 hp.
Shroom hits with his Flaming sphere against the warforged, but placing the sphere amongst the Orc bolt throwers and the warforged all together. He follows it up with a force orb: The flaming sphere hits the warforged dead on, doing 11 damage. The force orb explosion catches the warforged and both of the first bolt-throwers, narrowly missing Vathalin. It does 15 damage to the warforged, and 7 damage to each of the bolt throwers.
Warforged is now "bloodied" at 20hp, and the bolt throwers are each at 19hp.
Vathalin starts his turn in an adjacent square to the flaming sphere, and takes 6 damage.. He then attacks the warforged and
misses twice (with an 18 and a 13). You realize that the warforged is highly armored and will be difficult to take down without flanking or ranged attacks...
(Vath is at 13 hp, not yet bloodied)
The two orc bolt throwers start their turn close to the flaming sphere and are now bloodied. They have nowhere to move. One attacks Vathalin, (
missing with a 10) and one attacks Fargrim (
critical hit!). Fargrim takes 13 damage. He is now at 18 hp.
The orc berserker hacks at Ridcullybut
misses, with a 14.
Fargrim hits the berserker twice (one attack is a critical hit) and activates the cold power. Total of 31 damage. The last orc berserker is bloodied, and down to 7 hp.
Ridcully
hit the orc berserker with a 20. He does 12 damage, killing the berserker.
Any changes to tactics? Next round starts with Edwena. Note that another combatant can be heard below, and may be joining the fray soon...
