Chaosforge 4e PBF - IC

[slave]

Berak moves onto the table and fixes Bortek with his baleful gaze, stopping him from coming any closer. He then turns to the gnome and attacks her mind, attempting to knock her unconscious. Perhaps she could answer some questions later.

Move to D6
Minor: Evil Eye of the Vistani at Bortek
   Attack (vs Will): 1d20+10=30 (Critical Hit)
   Hit: Until EoNT, target can not willingly move closer to Berak and grants Berak combat advantage.
Standard: Mind Thrust with Augment 2 using Guidance of the Past, trying to knock the Gnome Illusionist unconscious
   Attack (vs Will): 1d20+9=18,28 - choose the higher result=28
   Damage: 2d20+9+2=18 (psychic)

[Malek Deneith]

Marek's ray of light hits the wolf, burning him. Meanwhile Berak's mental assault staggers the gnome... but does not put her down. Sizzling from the acid around she looks at you defiantly:
- "So this is it?.. You won't see me begging for my life - For the Winter King!" - the gnome slams her staff into the ground and a wave of psionic force tears into Isirius and Berak. True to her word they don't see her begging. In fact for a second they don't see her at all, as if she was gone. When the effect ends all that is left is a pool of melting leftovers...

[Xander Morhaime]

Quill did her best not to think about all the perfectly good food they were stepping over and scattering around. She simply hoped there would be some left afterwards.

"No, bad dog! Down! Play dead!" she yelled, swinging her flail down at the wolf again.

Crushing Surge on F8
F8 continues to be marked until the end of my next turn.
THP don't stack, to the best of my knowledge, so...

[S.K. Ren]

More blue glyphs surround Isirius now, restoring some of his wounds. A chill wind blows through the hall as Gosok strikes the Dire Wolf before falling back to defend his allies.

Isirius, now badly shaken, sees oppornity to launch one more attack before seeing himself forced to retreat to within the group - praying to whatever entity might be listening that the babarian doesn't suddenly decide to start launching fireballs.

[Malek Deneith]

Your concentrated efforts take down one of the wolves, and the other one has some trouble chewing through Quill's armor. Meanwhile Bortek seems to be bidding his time.

The death of Dire Wolf 1 triggers a Death Surge from Marek, who takes the opportunity to fire off another lazer at Dire Wolf 2.

Immediate Reaction from Dire Wolf 1's death:
  Death Surge (vs Fortitude)
    On F8: (1d20+8=11, 1d8+5=9 Psychic dmg, attack adjustment from Memory of a Thousand Lifetimes 11+1d6=16)
  Marek + Allies in Burst 3 (centred on G6) gains +2 to attack rolls until EoNT and gain 5 temporary HP

Move: Slide G6-->G5
Standard: Lance of Faith on F8 (vs Reflex)  (1d20+8=18, 1d8+7=11), attack adjustment 18+2=20)

[slave]

Sensing that Bortek is getting ready to charge at them, Berak conjures a mote of roiling lightning in front of the barbarian, slowing him down.

Conjure a Static Mote at B12
   Effect: Any creature that starts its turn adjacent to the mote is slowed until the end of its turn. Berak can explode the mote at the start of his turn.
Move to E3

[Malek Deneith]

Despite the attacks the wolf remains alive... if not well. The barbarian on the other hand finds himself contained yet again - he tries to throw an handaxe at the kobold but yet again Quill's short stature saves the day as the attack flies too high.
- Cowards!

General Notes
Technically Death Surge wouldn't trigger because Gosok slid the wolf away from 3-square radius for the trigger before it died. But I'm going to let that slide in favor of moving the turn along and because it was easy to miss with wolf dying before map could reflect his new position. Oh and shift != slide :P

[Xander Morhaime]

Quill remains persistent in her efforts to bash the dire wolf into submission, smacking it over the head once again with her flail. At least the table gave her enough height to reach the head.

Same old Crushing Surge on F8, same old mark until end of next turn.

[S.K. Ren]

As the first of the dire wolves drop, Gosok whirls about to face it's partner. With great celerity he dashes forward, slashing at the wolf as the winds in the hall increase dramatically creating a buffeting vortex around Gosok.

Standard Action: Charge to F7 on Dire Wolf MBA: 1d20+13 28 vs AC; Damage: 1d8r1+5 12 Lightning Damage
Runic Mastery: resist all 2 to adjacent allies.

[LuckyDee]

Trying to catch his breath, Isirius decides not to take any chances. Remaining in Gosok's beneficial aura, he takes a moment to regain his composure. With a calculated look on his face, he puts his Frost Dagger away, causing the Scourge in his left hand to fade out of existence.

Move: walk to G6.
Standard: use Second Wind.
Minor: sheathe Frost Dagger.

[thelaptop]

Marek moves to the top of the table and meditates.

Move: Walk from G5->E4
Standard: Second Wind

[slave]

Berak lets the mote of lightning explode, catching the barbarian in the blast. He then lays down another mote, slowing Bortek once again, intending to give the others a chance to rest.

No Action: Static Mote Attack:
   Attack: 1d20+8=15 (vs Ref)
   Damage: 1d6+4=6 (lightning)
Standard: Conjure a Static Mote at A12

[Malek Deneith]

Quill and Gosok finish off the last wolf, but the mul finds that his winds are not as quick to summon as he thought. This mistake almost costs him dearly as, despite Berak's best attempts, he soon finds himself face to face with an angry barbarian. The axe rises...

... and falls wide, chipping a bit off the table instead of Gosok.
