Heronius: I don't think continuity is an issue we even notice.
PwotMoose: and maybe we won't get put in as many deadly predicaments with them gone
Igfig: Welcome back to Castle Cocklove
Lucas_Strongbow: LET'S GET OUT OF THE SHIT ROOM
Lucas_Strongbow: IMMEDIATELY
Brigsby: I think we are
Igfig: You've done that already.
Brigsby: We were in the room next to the shit room
Brigsby: where I was trying to do the Fastidiousness ritual but you jerks stopped me
Lucas_Strongbow: Some things are best ignored
Lucas_Strongbow: Like a room full of poo
Lilania_Vess: So how do we get to the next floor?
Igfig: Last time, you fought some more goblins and a bugbear; threw a lot of people off the roof; were menaced by a wolf-like shadow thing
Igfig: a shadow wolf, if you wil
Igfig: l
Brigsby: I'd guess the north tower?
Igfig: and were, of course, made extremely uncomfortable by a tower full of possessed guano.
Far-Walker: So where are we on the map?
Lilania_Vess: 20
Igfig: The north tower is where you came from before
Lilania_Vess: The workroom.
Igfig: right now, you're in 20
Igfig: yes
Brigsby: Does the north tower not keep going up?
Igfig: It does, yes.
Brigsby: okay, that's what I was saying
Brigsby: Answering Lilania's question
Thorn_the_Gnoll: That a new character Hero?
Lucas_Strongbow: I still have nightmares
Lucas_Strongbow: Liliana?
Lilania_Vess: Yes
Lilania_Vess: I am a weaponmaster.
Lilania_Vess: A former arena champion
Brigsby: Hero uses his magic to morph into a woman
Lilania_Vess: and a master of improvised wepaonry.
Lilania_Vess: Something like that.
Igfig: You don't think the tower is how the other goblins have been getting around, though
Lilania_Vess: It's for weekends.
Lucas_Strongbow: Secret passage way
Lucas_Strongbow: They're goblins, that means they're wiley
Igfig: also, I have to say
Far-Walker: The air vents, of course.
Igfig: I can't think of Liliana Vess as anything but a planeswalker
Igfig: I'm probably going to get really confused a few times about this
Lilania_Vess: hehehe
Igfig: AAAAA no
Igfig: that's even worse
Igfig: vess, okay
Far-Walker: There we go. That's decent.
Igfig: "Vess" is fine, yeah
Igfig: Okay, so what are you guys going to do now?
Vess: Who is the leader here?
Far-Walker: Has the room been searched?
Lucas_Strongbow: How many floors does this building have?
Lucas_Strongbow: QUESTIONS
Igfig: One more floor above this, from what you can tell
Igfig: I believe you have searched this room, but I can check
Brigsby: Does the group even have a leader?
Igfig: This is Shetland Firestorm, so Fingers maybe
Brigsby: Or me
Brigsby: Or Hero
Igfig: except he's not here
Igfig: or Brigsby, yeah
Igfig: or... yes
Igfig: any of you
Lucas_Strongbow: Thorn is the manager
Lucas_Strongbow: Or we can do this democraticlly
Vess: I'm used to following directions
Brigsby: I thought Hero was the manager
Vess: Hero is the producer
Vess: He owns you.
Brigsby: We usually just sit around until Wilco or Drey go do something stupid
Lucas_Strongbow: I say we go up the stairs in room 12, not much else here
Igfig: Those stairs go down
Thorn_the_Gnoll: The stairs in 16?
Lucas_Strongbow: Or the stairs in the round tower
Igfig: What stairs in 16?  There's a room 16?
Igfig: You don't see any Room 16 here
Vess: Spiral staircase
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Oh right, we don't know about it, it is hidden.
Brigsby: oh yeah
Vess: right that's the locked door
Vess: Wanna try to go in that locked door?
Igfig: yeah, it's hard to keep map secrets like this
Lucas_Strongbow: Perception check to look for a secret door?
Vess: No loose leaf to cover stuff.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: We'd have to get to the room it is in.
Lucas_Strongbow: With my Aspect of the seeking falcon that bumps my perception to +13?
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Guess we'll just search around then.
Lucas_Strongbow: 1d20+13 to look for a door
Fortuna: Lucas_Strongbow, to look for a door: [7] = 20
Igfig: Where are you looking, Lucas?
Lucas_Strongbow: That secret door
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Is the way to room 18 locked?
Igfig: There are two secret doors here.  Which one are you talking about?
Brigsby: I'm gonna go look around stuff
Lucas_Strongbow: The one on the left of room 16
Thorn_the_Gnoll: He is searching the bathroom.
Igfig: Ahh, the bathroom
Lucas_Strongbow: For free meds
Brigsby: I want to search the bedroom
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I'm assuming for toilet paper after that prior encounter.
Lucas_Strongbow: "It won't come off, so unclean!"
Igfig: The bathroom is untidy, as if goblins have been using it
Igfig: muddy floor and such
Lucas_Strongbow: The roll is hung in the improper fashion
Vess: The toilet paper has not been replaces
Lucas_Strongbow: It's single sheet, really uncomfortable
Vess: The toilet is... unspeakable.
Igfig: you notice that the muddy footprints seem to be mostly converging toward one area of the wall, just to the right of the washbasin
Igfig: Also, Brigsby, the bedroom is rather nicely furnished
Igfig: mahogany desk
Igfig: bearskin rug
Igfig: high-thread-count sheets
Brigsby: Is there anything I can steal?
Lucas_Strongbow: We are essentially burgulars
Igfig: some tapestries depicting the founding of the castle
Igfig: very lewd
Vess: except for signs of a recent struggle.
Vess: and the corpses
Vess: I imagine
Igfig: the desk has an amber paperweight on it, and there are some old-looking books on a side table near the fireplace
Brigsby: I would like to take the amber paperweight, and look at the books to see what they're about
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I'm gonna make use of the fireplace, and try cooking a bugbear arm to see how they taste.
Igfig: The books are mostly about art, figure drawing and stuff.
Brigsby: Ah, well. I'm not good at drawing, so I'll just leave them. Can I stuff the bearskin rug in by backpack?
Igfig: Does your character know anything about that sort of stuff?
Igfig: ah, ok
Vess: It's 3 times your size
Vess: It's a bear.
Brigsby: Which is why I'm stuffing it into my backpack
Brigsby: I can make a full set of clothes from this thing
Igfig: if you roll it up really tight and take everything else out, maybe
Brigsby: hmm
Igfig: you could also just roll it up and tie it to the exterior
Lucas_Strongbow: Throw it out the window, we'll deal with it later
Lucas_Strongbow: on the way out
Brigsby: That would work too. Or I could just cut it some and make a nice halfling-sized cloak
Brigsby: with a bear-head hood
Lucas_Strongbow: I feel like we're forgetting why we're here
Igfig: you could also just roll it up and tie it to the exterior
Igfig: Thorn, bugbear meat looks pretty stringy; it'll take a while to cook it to an edible consistency
Lucas_Strongbow: Come to think of it, why are we here?
Far-Walker: Searching around that sink!
Vess: To take everything I imagine
Far-Walker: 1d20+4 Perception
Fortuna: Far-Walker, Perception: [6] = 10
Brigsby: Yeah, I'll just roll it up and tie it to the exterior of my bag
Igfig: So Lucas, after a few minutes you figure out that there's a secret door there
Igfig: because whatever
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Ah, guess I won't cook the whole arm then.  I'll just warm up some finger food.
Lucas_Strongbow: "Guy's there's a door here"
Lucas_Strongbow: Is it locked?
Igfig: whoa, I just super lagged
Far-Walker: Yay super lag!
Thorn_the_Gnoll: It was probably cause of the finger food pun, I apologize.
Igfig: It's not locked, just hidden
Far-Walker: Open: Door?
Igfig: it slides open easily once you find the catch
Lucas_Strongbow: I wish it was a two way mirror
Lucas_Strongbow: Anyway, up those stairs?
Far-Walker: If you break a two-way mirror, does that mean 14 years of bad luck?
Igfig: on the other side is a dark, narrow room with a spiral staircase.  The door on the other side is hanging open, and... actually the mirror is totally a two-way mirror.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: You sure you don't mean one-way?
Igfig: maybe
Vess: we all know what he intends
Brigsby: a two way mirror is a window
Brigsby: but yes
Igfig: aren't regular mirrors one-way?
Lucas_Strongbow: It's called two way, I have no idea why
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Either way.
Vess: it's both
Igfig: okay
Brigsby: I think it's because you can see through one way, and not the other
Vess: the one that is visible on one side is called both a one-way and a two-way mirror
Far-Walker: I think a two-way mirror would be a window
Vess: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-way_mirror
Vess: bow before the wiki.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: How odd.
Brigsby: It's both! Mystery solved
Lucas_Strongbow: I hav that exact page up already
Igfig: also, OOC talk in OOC please
Lucas_Strongbow: Let's get up those stairs!
Igfig: You do so!
Brigsby: Yes!
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I munch on bugbear fingers as I do.
Igfig: You find yourself on the inside of another secret-door-looking sort of door
Lucas_Strongbow: Can I slide it open a bit and peek through?
Igfig: Sure.
Igfig: Stealth check
Lucas_Strongbow: 1d20+5
Fortuna: Lucas_Strongbow, 1d20+5: [4] = 9
Lucas_Strongbow: Oh dear
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I'll do that then.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: 1d20+10
Fortuna: Thorn_the_Gnoll, 1d20+10: [9] = 19
Lucas_Strongbow: I loudly cough
Igfig: uhhh, thorn, you being extra quiet doesn't actually negate Lucas making noise
Far-Walker: Cover his mouth.
Vess: But you are super quiet though
Far-Walker: Lucas's noise drowns out all other noise.
Igfig: As you were opening the door, those of you with good Perception thought you heard voices
Igfig: but as soon as Lucas coughed, they stopped
Far-Walker: *Shoots Lucas a GLARE*
Lucas_Strongbow: It's a thri kreen glare, it's extra awkward
Far-Walker: Multi-eyed glare
Far-Walker: GLARE X6 COMBO
Lucas_Strongbow: Do we hear any other noises?
Lucas_Strongbow: with a passive perception of 23?
Igfig: After a moment, you hear unlocking-noises
Igfig: from the door at the end of the hall
Igfig: and then the door starts to open
Lucas_Strongbow: Is the door we're peeking out of a two way mirror? because if it is I close it
Igfig: This door is just a sliding secret door
Vess: I suggest quiet murders
Igfig: are you going to leave it open then?
Lucas_Strongbow: We need drey to crash through
Brigsby: I don't really /do/ quiet
Vess: Open the door.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Close it most of the way, leave a little crack open wide enough for a blade to stab peeking eyes in the face?
Vess: Enough of this skulldruggery
Lucas_Strongbow: Right, Lili goes first
Lucas_Strongbow: Have fun
Vess: On it.
Far-Walker: Are we charging in? Sweet.
Vess: I open the door,
Vess: I step into the hallway
Vess: What do I see.
Igfig: You step out just as the door is opened by an armoured goblinoid, bigger than a goblin but smaller than a bugbear
Far-Walker: You see your eyes are open
Igfig: a hobgoblin!
Vess: I charge him.
Vess: Before that though.
Igfig:  1d20+8 is he urprised
Fortuna: Igfig, is he urprised: [17] = 25
Vess: What is in this room?
Igfig: He is not surprised
Igfig: This room is just a hallway
Vess: So I've noticed
Vess: Damn
Igfig: Roll initiative, Vess
Vess: 1d20+4
Fortuna: Vess, 1d20+4: [1] = 5
Igfig:  1d20+5 hobgoblin init
Fortuna: Igfig, hobgoblin init: [7] = 12
Vess: balls
Far-Walker: Can the rest of us roll too?
Vess: not till next round I think
Igfig: The rest of you didn't jump out into the hallway, so not until next round
Vess: I am somewhat impetuous
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Can I choose to do that now?  Cause if not then I miss my ability for combat advantage on everyone I act before.
Igfig: not really, no
Vess: You'll have to do it the old fashioned way
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Darn, ah well.
Igfig: The hobgoblin sees you leap out and charge toward him
Igfig: he quickly closes the door
Vess: I hit the door.
Vess: With my fist
Vess: Do I roll an attack against it?
Vess: Or damage
Vess: or what?
Igfig: Sorry, I was just doing a map thing
Igfig: Make an attack roll
Vess: 1d20+8
Fortuna: Vess, 1d20+8: [11] = 19
Vess: 1d6+6
Fortuna: Vess, 1d6+6: [5] = 11
Igfig:  1d20+8 hobgoblin holding door shut
Fortuna: Igfig, hobgoblin holding door shut: [15] = 23
Far-Walker: Strongoblin
Vess: Deadgoblin
Igfig: You slam into the door, but the hobgoblin is leaning into it pretty hard.
Lucas_Strongbow: We hear a resounding WOMP
Igfig: You can hear shouts in Goblin from the other side of the door
Vess: And a swear
Igfig: and, surprisingly, a human voice
Brigsby: a hostage?
Igfig: uttering an exclamation of relief
Igfig: seems likely
Vess: fast hands
Vess: I draw a climbing piston from my bag
Vess: My turn is done
Igfig: Okay
Igfig: I should mention
Igfig: that even though the door is held shut
Brigsby: it can still be blown up
Brigsby: say, by a blast of lightning?
Igfig: you've done some serious damage to it
Igfig: yes, a blast of lightning might be enough to finish the job
Brigsby: Alright
Igfig: anyway, you guys can roll init now 
Brigsby: 1d20+5
Fortuna: Brigsby, 1d20+5: [19] = 24
Lucas_Strongbow: 1d20+7
Fortuna: Lucas_Strongbow, 1d20+7: [20] = 27
Vess: fuck you both.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: 1d20+9
Fortuna: Thorn_the_Gnoll, 1d20+9: [18] = 27
Igfig: Someone write this down somewhere, please
Brigsby: Thorn, Lucas, Brigsby
Igfig: on the map, preferably
Brigsby: just waiting on Far
Igfig: Hobgoblins got a 12
Lucas_Strongbow: Who goes first between me and thorn?
Brigsby: Thorn
Vess: Thorn
Igfig:  1d20+6 "G" init
Fortuna: Igfig, "G" init: [10] = 16
Igfig:  1d20+4 "S" init
Fortuna: Igfig, "S" init: [20] = 24
Igfig:  1d20+5 "W" init
Fortuna: Igfig, "W" init: [14] = 19
Thorn_the_Gnoll: That is a load of initiatives.
Igfig: yep
Igfig: you're on the top floor
Igfig: also, if you're tracking init it's often worthwhile to include the actual numbers
Igfig: so that you can easily slot in any newcomers
Brigsby: Got it
Brigsby: just need Far-Walker
Far-Walker: 1d20+6 Init
Fortuna: Far-Walker, Init: [7] = 13
Lucas_Strongbow: also
Vess: he goes just before the gobbos
Lucas_Strongbow: draw please
Fortuna: The system has changed. "/msg Fortuna help" for details.
Lucas_Strongbow: whaaaaaat
Brigsby: done
Vess: new hand please
Fortuna: Vess drew a new hand.
Fortuna: Vess drew LOOK AT ME (U)
Fortuna: Play at the start of your turn. Until the start of your next turn, enemies that are adjacent to you grant combat advantage to your allies and you grant combat advantage to enemies that are adjacent to you.
Fortuna: Vess drew PHANTOM ALLY (C)
Fortuna: Play at the start of your turn. During this turn, you gain combat advantage against the targets of your at-will powers.
Fortuna: Vess drew SELF SACRIFICE (U)
Fortuna: Play when an ally adjacent to you is hit by a melee or ranged attack. That attack hits you instead.
Vess: use a /msg to help you track the hand
Vess: but any changes are done here.
Vess: Thorn.
Igfig: Okay
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Yo.
Igfig: Put yourselves on the map
Igfig: red is a good colour
Thorn_the_Gnoll: So my turn then.
Igfig: Yes. It is.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I'm going to use Ferocious Charge on the door.  Should I drop the enhancement bonuses of my weapons for this again?
Igfig: Yeah, since you haven't been to spce yet
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Alright.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: 1d20+10
Fortuna: Thorn_the_Gnoll, 1d20+10: [19] = 29
Igfig: doesn't really matter, does it
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Thorn charges his way towards the door, and does a flying drop kick.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: 1d6+8
Fortuna: Thorn_the_Gnoll, 1d6+8: [1] = 9
Igfig: A ferocious one
Igfig: Both hurling the hobgoblin back, and breaking the door in half.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Woohoo.
Igfig: (Move your letter as appropriate)
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Right.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: And...  I believe that is it for me since that was a charge.  Weapons out and all that but all done.
Igfig: Okay
Igfig: Lucas, you're up!
Lucas_Strongbow: If I stand just behind thorn and vess, can I rapid shot those 4 goblins?
Igfig: Two of them are hobgoblins, and two of them, have cover, but yes.
Lucas_Strongbow: 2#1d20+7
Fortuna: Lucas_Strongbow, 1d20+7: [9] = 16; 1d20+7: [5] = 12
Lucas_Strongbow: That's without cover
Lucas_Strongbow: 2#1d20+5
Fortuna: Lucas_Strongbow, 1d20+5: [10] = 15; 1d20+5: [19] = 24
Igfig: You hit... the goblin who was in cover.
Lucas_Strongbow: 1d10+4 damage
Fortuna: Lucas_Strongbow, damage: [6] = 10
Lucas_Strongbow: And that's that
Igfig: The hobgoblins raise their shields, and the arrows bounce off
Igfig: the goblin, however, crumples to the ground
Igfig: Brigsby?
Lucas_Strongbow: Oh, thank god for minions
Lucas_Strongbow: Specifically Avandra
Brigsby: Okay, I will stay where I am and use Lightning Strike on H1
Brigsby: 1d20+7
Fortuna: Brigsby, 1d20+7: [7] = 14
Brigsby: vs reflex
Igfig: Nope, they're pretty quick with those shields.
Brigsby: alrighty
Brigsby: Then I'll take cover behind the corner of the hallway
Brigsby: end turn
Igfig: You hear a goblin voice call out from the other room, imperious but with a strange, almost whispery quality to it
Igfig: and yet, familar
Igfig: *iar
Igfig: It shouts something in Goblin,
Igfig: then, in Common
Igfig: "Very well, Count, you may not love /that/, w.  But what... about... THIS?"
Igfig: by "w", I meant "either"
Igfig: With the word "This", there is a sudden burst of silent sound
Igfig: like an infinite white noise
Igfig: and all of the lights gutter out in unison.
Igfig: And through the darkness, a terrible sob
Igfig: as if someone has lost that which is most precious in all the world
Igfig: and after the sob, a laugh like a minor chord
Lucas_Strongbow: We are perturbed
Brigsby: that's...weird
Brigsby: so it's dark now?
Igfig: yes
Igfig: Brigsby, something moves in the stairwell
Vess: Do we take damage?
Lucas_Strongbow: WOLF
Igfig: well, Farwalker sees it too
Igfig: no , no damage
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Low-light or dark dark?
Igfig: Low-light in regions with windows, dark in those without
Igfig: And yeah, it's the wolf
Igfig:  1d20+8 stealth
Fortuna: Igfig, stealth: [3] = 11
Brigsby: that damn wolf that I don't know anything about because I missed the beginning of the last Coklov session
Igfig: It bounds out of the shadows and charges Brigsby
Vess: No one knows anything about it.
Igfig:  1d20+8+1 vs. AC
Fortuna: Igfig, vs. AC: [13] = 22
Brigsby: yes
Igfig:  1d8+2 damage
Fortuna: Igfig, damage: [1] = 3
Brigsby: okay
Igfig: It's strange, and hard to tell for sure in the darkness
Igfig: but you think it looks like an actual wolf now, and not just a wolf-shaped mass of shadow
Brigsby: alright, that means I can smack it
Igfig: The goblins, now,
Brigsby: on my turn, of course
Igfig: they're rather scrawny, dressed in hooded robes
Igfig: most of them draw back from the door
Vess: what about farwalker
Igfig: g2, though, in some misguided attempt at bravery, charges the door
Igfig: far comes after these
Vess: oh ok
Thorn_the_Gnoll: He's after the goblins, before the hobgoblins.
Far-Walker: Ype
Far-Walker: *Yep
Igfig:  1d20+7 vs. AC
Fortuna: Igfig, vs. AC: [3] = 10
Igfig: misses with his little shortsword.
Vess: I laugh
Igfig: Far-walker's turn
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I bark at him.
Far-Walker: Yay!
Far-Walker: So currently there's a wolf, right
Igfig: yep
Brigsby: and it's dark
Igfig: yep
Far-Walker: Thri-Kreen Claws time!
Brigsby: so I hope you have darkvision
Igfig: clever, far
Far-Walker: 1d20+9
Fortuna: Far-Walker, 1d20+9: [14] = 23
Igfig: and brigsby, only drow have darkvision (of the PC races)
Igfig: that's a hit
Far-Walker: 1d8+6
Fortuna: Far-Walker, 1d8+6: [4] = 10
Igfig: you can generally assume that anything above 20 is a hit, for now
Igfig: ok
Brigsby: I think you can get a feat for certain classes, but that doesn't really matter right now
Far-Walker: Alright. That's minor.
Far-Walker: Can I swap a move for another minor?
Igfig: of course
Far-Walker: Next minor: Encaging Spirits! Push him back 1.
Far-Walker: There's stairs there, right?
Lucas_Strongbow: Are the goblins not minions?
Igfig: There are stairs, yes
Far-Walker: Push him down the stairs!
Igfig: and the goblins are minions
Igfig: okay
Igfig:  1d20 saving throw
Fortuna: Igfig, saving throw: [11] = 11
Igfig: digs its claws into the carpet, and manages to stop itself
Far-Walker: Bah. Someone probably warned him about those stairs, bro.
Igfig: but it is in the other region
Far-Walker: Someone told the dog.
Igfig: hahaha
Igfig: Falling off things does seem to be a theme here, doesn't it
Igfig: it keeps happening
Lucas_Strongbow: We like d10s
Far-Walker: Alright, STANDARD ACTION: Flickering Arrow on the shadow-dog. This should be interesting.
Igfig: Sure.  What does that do?
Far-Walker: 1d20+6
Fortuna: Far-Walker, 1d20+6: [20] = 26
Lucas_Strongbow: HA
Vess: It crits
Far-Walker: A lot, apparently
Vess: is what it does
Igfig: !
Igfig: Evidently
Igfig: Oh hey guys, don't forget about fortune cards
Far-Walker: That's 19 damage automatically
Igfig: cool
Vess: I am planning on using a card on my turn
Vess: depending on several factors
Igfig: The wolf is bloodied
Far-Walker: And takes -2 on attack rolls until my next turn. It's also slowed until then.
Igfig: badass
Far-Walker: Also can't take cover
Far-Walker: Done
Igfig: Great
Igfig: Oh by the way, I think you all have an action point again
Far-Walker: (It's also got a shiny rainbow arrow sticking out of it, for flavor)
Vess: Yay for action points
Igfig: ...actually, let's change how we keep track of action points
Vess: good plab
Vess: n
Igfig: let's just say you get one each session
Vess: That is the best idea
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Sounds good to me.
Igfig: (unless we have more than two encounters in a session, of course)
Igfig: all right, cool
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Even better.
Brigsby: That's how I've been doing it
Igfig: It is the hobgoblins' turn.
Brigsby: it's just an encounter thingy
Vess: oh brigsby, you so silly.
Igfig: Hey, are Vess and Thorn squeezed into the hall next to each other?
Vess: Yes
Igfig: Squeezing causes you to grant CA, y'know
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Si.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Whoops.
Vess: I fit rather easily between thorns legs you know
Vess: I am 4 feet tall and he is 7
Thorn_the_Gnoll: This is also true, I have wandered around with Brigsby in my backpack before.
Lucas_Strongbow: You really are Chewbacca
Brigsby: I'm smaller than Vess
Igfig: The first hobgoblin uses its clever Phalanx Movement power to let the goblin fall back and the hob to take its place
Vess: Also thorn you could have moved a step back and stood behind me
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Afraid not, I charged the door remember?
Igfig: so it doesn't have to squeeze
Vess: So? you still have a move after that.
Igfig: and then it attacks Vess
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I thought charging was it for a turn?
Igfig:  1d20+8 vs. AC
Fortuna: Igfig, vs. AC: [2] = 10
Vess: miss
Vess: charge is a standard
Igfig: that wasn't a charge, it was a shift and then an attack
Thorn_the_Gnoll: We're discussing my turn earlier.
Vess: talking about thorns first turn
Igfig: ah
Igfig: again, maybe that goes in OOC
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Sorry.
Igfig: The second hobgoblin does the same thing to the first hobgoblin
Vess: I think we would be arguing about thorn standing on me.
Igfig: and to vess as well
Igfig:  1d20+8 vs. AC
Fortuna: Igfig, vs. AC: [3] = 11
Igfig: balllls
Vess: miss
Vess: My turn.
Vess: Fuckers
Vess: What kind of pieces is that door in?
Far-Walker: Give it too 'em!
Igfig: Medium-sized ones
Igfig: It is now Vess's turn
Vess: So can I dual weild them, or can I hold one in two hands?
Igfig: There are  few different sizes, so either
Vess: Okay
Igfig: *a few
Vess: Play PHANTOM ALLY
Fortuna: Say please.
Vess: PHANTOM ALLY please
Vess: play PHANTOM ALLY please
Fortuna: Vess played PHANTOM ALLY (C)
Fortuna: Play at the start of your turn. During this turn, you gain combat advantage against the targets of your at-will powers.
Fortuna: Vess drew FAIR FIGHT (U)
Fortuna: Play at the start of your turn. Until the end of this turn, you gain a +2 bonus to the attack rolls of at-will powers.
Vess: Alrighty
Vess: fast hands to pick up a big pieve
Vess: Tempest dance.
Igfig: Fun
Vess: 1d20+8 vs AC H2
Fortuna: Vess, vs AC H2: [10] = 18
Vess: Shift
Igfig: Miss
Vess: 1d20+8 vs AC g2
Fortuna: Vess, vs AC g2: [1] = 9
Vess: shift
Igfig: Also a miss
Vess: 1d20+8 vs AC H1
Fortuna: Vess, vs AC H1: [19] = 27
Igfig: Also a... yeah, that's a hit
Vess: 1d10+4
Fortuna: Vess, 1d10+4: [7] = 11
Vess: Minor action Break the piece of wood in half
Vess: is that a str check?
Igfig: Yeah, I think so
Vess: 1d20+4
Fortuna: Vess, 1d20+4: [3] = 7
Vess: motherfucker
Vess: my worst rolls ever were tonight
Igfig: That's a really clever thing to do, though
Igfig: I'll remember that
Vess: was going to be all cool and use dual strike
Vess: with my AP
Vess sigh
Igfig: What race are you?
Vess: Halfling
Brigsby: pretty tall for a Halfling
Lucas_Strongbow: You didn't move, couldn't you try to break it again?
Vess: True
Igfig: heheh, oh yeah
Vess: Break it again sam
Vess: 1d20+4
Fortuna: Vess, 1d20+4: [1] = 5
Vess: FUCKKKK
Lucas_Strongbow: PFFT
Brigsby: wop
Far-Walker: Doof
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Ouch.
Far-Walker: Actually, that was more of a pap.
Vess: jadsfhiuhiasfhnoargn
Igfig: "Vess' Boon of Not Breaking Doors"
Far-Walker: You pap the wood gently, so as not to hurt its feelings
Vess: I have rolled over 10 once tonight
Vess: End turn.
Lucas_Strongbow: These goblins can see a halfling frantically smashing wood against it's knee
Igfig: That is very sad, Vess
Vess: I am unspeakably pissed right now.
Igfig: At least you marked everyone
Vess: yeah
Igfig: also, you're surrounded
Vess: I know
Vess: I was planning on being surrounded by corpses
Igfig: that would have been cool
Igfig: but now it's Thorn's turn!
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Time to stab someone.
Vess: H1 has been hit
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I don't suppose I can get past H2 to stab H1?
Igfig: Well, you could just walk into the region, and you'd be able to attack H1, but he'd have cover
Igfig: if you moved further, you could get a clear shot
Igfig: but oyu'd provoke an OA
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Ah, Tactical Trick prevents attacks of Opportunity when I leave squares that are also adjacent to an ally.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: So...  I think that may cover that, maybe.
Igfig: That would, yeah
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Tactical Trick ahoy!
Thorn_the_Gnoll: And now with my handy dandy Combat Advantage, time to backstab.
Igfig: word!
Thorn_the_Gnoll: 1d20+14
Fortuna: Thorn_the_Gnoll, 1d20+14: [2] = 16
Igfig: dulp
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Damn.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Saw that coming.
Vess: fcuk
Igfig: At least you have two uses of Backstab now
Vess: tuna is a cunt.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Indeed, I have a question.  If I roll acrobatics, could I turn my Sudden Leap ability into another dropkick?
Igfig: You could try to knock someone over, or break a door even, but you wouldn't be able to deal damage with it
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Could I kick the goblin in this region out the window?
Igfig: You could try that, yes
Igfig: Acrobatics check to do the appropriate maneuver
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Worth a try.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: So using Sudden Leap.
Igfig: and then an attack roll to actually push him out
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Missing his preferred attacking method of stabbing on the Hobgoblin, Thorn crouches low before leaping through the air past him directly at the nearby goblin, with intent to kick the little pest out the window.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: 1d20+10 Acrobatics
Fortuna: Thorn_the_Gnoll, Acrobatics: [5] = 15
Igfig: Eh... I'll give it to you, but you'll have to use Str for the attack roll
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Crud, alright.  Least I have combat advantage.
Igfig: and it's a non-weapon attack vs. Fort, remember
Thorn_the_Gnoll: 1d20+2 vs. Fort
Fortuna: Thorn_the_Gnoll, vs. Fort: [9] = 11
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Crap.
Igfig: oh well
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Yeah, anything of interest I can see from here with my low-light vision?
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Also my turn is done now.
Igfig: You can see that the wall between this room and the bedroom has been torn down
Igfig: probably by means of bugbear
Igfig: inside, you can see a familiar-looking goblin standing over a heap of Count Coklov
Thorn_the_Gnoll makes a blech face recalling the poor taste of the fingers.
Igfig: it's the hexer, the one you faced downstairs!  The one that escaped!
Igfig: But he looks different, now
Thorn_the_Gnoll: The one I wasn't here for!
Igfig: I guess only Brigsby, Sark, and Wilco were
Igfig: His skin is ashen, his eyes pure black
Brigsby: that doesn't sound good
Vess: Heonius was there.
Far-Walker: Yep. I looked like that after I lost my virginity too
Igfig: and on his left hand, a heavy gauntlet of black steel
Igfig: articulated with short but sharp spines
Igfig: and yes, you can see all of the details of the gauntlet even from this distance, even in the low light
Igfig: it's like it's more... real then most things
Igfig: Anyway, Lucas' turn!
Lucas_Strongbow: Woo
Lucas_Strongbow: Disruptive shot on H1!
Lucas_Strongbow: 1d20+9
Fortuna: Lucas_Strongbow, 1d20+9: [2] = 11
Lucas_Strongbow: AAAHHHH
Igfig: aaaaa
Igfig: this is terrible
Lucas_Strongbow: Action point to do it again
Igfig: Fortuna, what are you doing?
Lucas_Strongbow: 1d20+9
Fortuna: Lucas_Strongbow, 1d20+9: [14] = 23
Igfig: Much better.
Lucas_Strongbow: 1d10+4
Fortuna: Lucas_Strongbow, 1d10+4: [10] = 14
Lucas_Strongbow: Yay
Igfig: Okay
Lucas_Strongbow: and he is dazed
Igfig: also bloodied
Lucas_Strongbow: And that's all I do
Igfig: Very well
Igfig: ...Wait a moment
Brigsby: My turn?
Igfig: Is Disruptive Shot the one that ignores cover?
Lucas_Strongbow: No
Igfig: oh
Igfig: And you're sure it was H1 that you were targetting?
Lucas_Strongbow: Yep
Lucas_Strongbow: actually, wait
Lucas_Strongbow: it was H2
Lucas_Strongbow: I'm an idiot
Igfig: Actually, double-wait
Lucas_Strongbow: Crikey
Igfig: the thing I though was happening wasn't
Igfig: ...TRIPLE-WAIT
Igfig: You don't have low-light vision, do you?
Lucas_Strongbow: Noo....
Igfig: Concealment too, then
Igfig: ...okay, if you're targeting h2 that still hits
Lucas_Strongbow: Rad
Igfig: but there's a lot of stuff going on here
Lucas_Strongbow: I fire blindly into darkness
Igfig: low-light
Igfig: and yeah, okay
Igfig: h2 it is
Igfig: right
Igfig: next
Brigsby: me!
Igfig: Brigsby!
Brigsby: since the wolf has a rainbow arrow in it now, does that mean I can see it?
Vess: Brigsby down here!
Igfig: I think the rainbow keeps it from taking cover, not concealment
Igfig: which is fine, because it would have had cover in there
Brigsby: but otherwise, it's dark, so I still get a penalty?
Igfig: let's say it's just cocnealment instead of total cocnealment
Igfig: wow bad spelling
Brigsby: okay... is the door in my region locked?
Igfig: You don't know.  Probably.
Igfig: Oh!
Brigsby: Alright, I'll try the door
Igfig: I just looked at the description of the powet
Igfig: r
Igfig: turns out that yeah, it actually does specifically negate total concealment
Vess: Hey Brigsby! Come down here and help us!
Brigsby: awesome!
Igfig: Minor action to check the door... yeah, it's locked.
Brigsby: okay, and since I can really see the wolf, Storm Walk
Brigsby: 1d20+7
Fortuna: Brigsby, 1d20+7: [4] = 11
Brigsby: balls
Brigsby: okay, and as part of the power I shift
Igfig: okay
Igfig: oh wow, Bloodbond is a really cool power
Igfig: er, Flickering Arrow
Brigsby: Can I still shift into 25, or do I have to move?
Igfig: it's -2 to attack for all enemies within 6 squares of the wolf
Igfig: You can shift there
Brigsby: past h2?
Brigsby: I want to get with Vess
Igfig: You're just shifting into the region, first of all, so you don't have to pass anyone
Igfig: and second of all, h2 is dazed
Brigsby: oh, true
Igfig: so he can't make OAs
Brigsby: okay, well I'm in here next to Vess then
Brigsby: so Action Point
Lucas_Strongbow: He has an arrow in the eye
Brigsby: I'll use Thundering Gust, which is a Close Blast 3
Igfig: h1 can OA though, albeit through cover and a mark penalty
Vess: Does he?
Brigsby: Who can I hit with the blast?
Igfig:  1d20+8-2-2 vs. AC
Fortuna: Igfig, vs. AC: [7] = 11
Igfig: he misses
Igfig: it's a blast?
Vess: I attack him
Brigsby: yes
Brigsby: Blast 3
Vess: 1d20+8
Fortuna: Vess, 1d20+8: [1] = 9
Vess: fifth 1
Brigsby: I want to target as many guys as possible, without hitting Vess
Igfig: Then you can attack any region adjacent to than the one you're in
Igfig: you ought to have stayed back in the hall
Brigsby: So if I target the region to my right, does that also hit H1?
Igfig: if you want to attack these guys
Igfig: no
Brigsby: yeah, this was a bad decision, but it seems it's a bit late
Igfig: oh, you can use a maneuver to target your own region
Vess: right
Brigsby: Can I do that as an action point?
Igfig: and another to exclude someone
Igfig: and I guess you have your whole move action
Vess: you still have your- yeah
Igfig: so you can just do it with the rest of your move action
Brigsby: Okay, I'll do that
Igfig: all right
Brigsby: so target my region, exclude Vess
Igfig: right
Brigsby: 3#1d20+7
Fortuna: Brigsby, 1d20+7: [19] = 26; 1d20+7: [15] = 22; 1d20+7: [8] = 15
Brigsby: vs fort
Igfig: so the hobs, the gob, and Thorn
Vess: one for thorn too
Brigsby: 1d20+7
Fortuna: Brigsby, 1d20+7: [14] = 21
Thorn_the_Gnoll: It all hits me anyways.
Igfig: You hit everyone
Brigsby: okay
Igfig: roll damage
Vess: though if it was fort, you should have excluded thorn
Vess: since my fort is high.
Brigsby: I forgot Thorn was in there
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I figured that.
Vess: :(
Brigsby: and it was a 21 anyway
Igfig: your fort isn't 21, vess
Vess: I know
Vess: I was just saying
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Damage ahoy!
Igfig: right
Brigsby: 4#1d10+11
Fortuna: Brigsby, 1d10+11: [2] = 13; 1d10+11: [7] = 18; 1d10+11: [3] = 14; 1d10+11: [10] = 21
Igfig: just roll damage once, dude
Brigsby: oh
Brigsby: oops
Brigsby: roll again, or just take the first roll?
Igfig: this is all one attack, just targeting multiple people
Igfig: roll again, howbout
Brigsby: I haven't used this power yet, so newbie mistake
Brigsby: 1d10+11
Fortuna: Brigsby, 1d10+11: [8] = 19
Igfig: well well
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Party.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: And I am bloodied, on the nosy.
Igfig: As are both the hobs
Brigsby: and I could shift them, but if I don't, I can fly out
Igfig: and the gob is smashed into the wall
Igfig: up to you
Thorn_the_Gnoll: On the bright side, being bloodied gives me a damage bonus.
Igfig: yay
Brigsby: I will choose not to shift any of them, and I gain 5 squares of flying movement
Brigsby: so I'm going to fly back into the hall
Igfig: lovely
Lucas_Strongbow: I brush you as you go past
Lucas_Strongbow: like free willy
Brigsby: yesss
Igfig: hehe
Igfig: Shadowhexer!
Igfig: Oh boy
Igfig: Okay, so first of all
Igfig: He laughs
Igfig: "You're too late!  All your resting and side excursions have given me just enough time to unlock the power!
Igfig: The power... of love!"
Vess: !?
Lucas_Strongbow: Don't need money, don't take fame...
Vess: ehhhhhhhhh!?
Thorn_the_Gnoll: They do say love conquers all.
Lucas_Strongbow: Don't need no credit card to ride this train
Igfig: BLINDING HEX ON VESS
Igfig: ACTION POINT, STINGING HEX ON THORN
Vess: fuck youuuuuuuuuu
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Crap.
Igfig:  1d20+7 vs. Fortitude
Fortuna: Igfig, vs. Fortitude: [12] = 19
Igfig: ves
Vess: re roll it
Igfig:  1d20+7 vs Fort
Fortuna: Igfig, vs Fort: [2] = 9
Igfig: ooh, lucky
Vess: miss
Vess: Fortuna has my back.
Igfig:  1d20+7 vs. Thorn Will
Fortuna: Igfig, vs. Thorn Will: [9] = 16
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Ooof, close, very close.  But it is a hit.
Igfig: You feel a pricking, stinging sensation all over your body
Igfig: like thousands of needles just against your skin
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Crud, abyssal fleas.
Igfig: as long as you don't move, you'll be okay... if you do move, some pretty good damage.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Interesting.
Igfig: And then! EVOKE SHADOW BEAST
Igfig: on Vess
Vess: fucker
Igfig: "I have mastered the wolf... now, something more interesting."
Vess: ...
Igfig: A many-tentacled blot of darkness stretches itself up out of the floo
Igfig: r
Igfig:  1d20+7 vs. Vess Reflex
Fortuna: Igfig, vs. Vess Reflex: [20] = 27
Igfig: !
Vess: ...
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Crap, tentacle rape.
Igfig:  19 necrotic damage
Far-Walker: So much tentacle rape is in our future
Igfig: It wraps itself around you and starts to choke the life out of you
Igfig: oddly enough, in an entirely platonic and non-sexual way
Brigsby: kink-oh
Vess: indeed.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Well, least it is respecting your personal space.  In a serial-killer kind of way.
Igfig: Also, any creature that starts its turn adjacent to the shadowbeast is slowed until the end of its next turn.
Vess: Why do you hate me ig?
Igfig: Because you're there
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Hey I'm next to the thing too, just not being choked by it.
Vess: right.
Igfig: literally, everybody else is back in the hallway
Igfig: and thorn is taking some solid damage if he moves next turn
Igfig: Now, the wolf's turn
Igfig: It gathers itself to its feet
Igfig: and charges Far-Walker
Far-Walker: Oh nooooooooooo :c
Igfig:  1d20+8+1 vs. AC
Fortuna: Igfig, vs. AC: [13] = 22
Far-Walker: Hit
Igfig:  1d8+2 damage
Fortuna: Igfig, damage: [6] = 8
Igfig: It's a lot more damaging when it can get concealment
Igfig: Anyway, fun fact: Enemies within 2 regions of the flicker'd wolf
Igfig: i.e. the hobs
Igfig: are taking the -2 penalty to attack
Igfig: ...guess that doesn't matter though, since the effect ends just before their turn goes before them
Igfig: Oh!  But it does matter, because some of them are coming to attack V and T.
Igfig: some of the goblins, I mean
Igfig: Some of the other goblins are going to open the other door, to get at Far
Vess: I'll not likely see my next turn.
Igfig: and one goes and stands beside the hexer
Igfig: Oh hey, that region is now completely full
Igfig: Nobody can enter it, and nobody can mneuver within it
Igfig:  1d20+7 vs. Vess AC
Fortuna: Igfig, vs. Vess AC: [16] = 23
Vess: hit
Igfig:  1d20+7 vs. Thorn AC
Fortuna: Igfig, vs. Thorn AC: [10] = 17
Igfig: and... I'll roll randomly for who gets the last
Igfig:  1d2 1=V 2=T
Fortuna: Igfig, 1=V 2=T: [2] = 2
Igfig:  1d20+7 vs. Thorn AC
Fortuna: Igfig, vs. Thorn AC: [14] = 21
Thorn_the_Gnoll: So that is two hits for me, yippee.
Igfig: Each hit from them is 5 damage
Igfig: Of the ones at the other door
Vess: bloodied
Igfig: one opens the door and walks through, the other bounds through toward Far
Igfig: maneuvering to get CA with the wolf
Igfig: flanking
Igfig:  1d20+7+2+1 vs. Far AC
Fortuna: Igfig, vs. Far AC: [7] = 17
Far-Walker: Oh nooooooo :c
Igfig:  5 damage
Far-Walker: No hit
Igfig: ok
Igfig: The one next to the hexer readies an action
Igfig: And that's all for them
Igfig: Far!
Far-Walker: Yep!
Far-Walker: Hm...
Far-Walker: Okay, first, Bloodbond (minor) to shift into the next region over
Far-Walker: The one with Brigs and Lucas
Igfig: good show
Far-Walker: Then...
Far-Walker: Elemental Spirits: Radiant Damage on the wolf (and surrounding enemies by proxy)
Igfig: Lovely
Far-Walker: 1d20+6 vs AC
Fortuna: Far-Walker, vs AC: [16] = 22
Far-Walker: Hitting, I assume.
Igfig: hit
Igfig: it's not undead or incorporeal, so it's not particularly vunerable to radiant
Far-Walker: 1d10+3 damage
Fortuna: Far-Walker, damage: [3] = 6
Far-Walker: And the goblins take 5 damage too
Far-Walker: That'll be all
Igfig: I thought that wasn't until they start their turn, right?
Far-Walker: Oh, yes
Igfig: also, not radiant either
Igfig: anyway!  Flickering Arrow ends
Igfig: Are the hobs still marked by you , Vess?
Igfig: I guess so
Vess: I didn't end the mark on my turn
Vess: since I havn't had a turn since then
Igfig: They attack you, then.
Vess: I die
Igfig:  2#1d20+8 vs. AC
Fortuna: Igfig, vs. AC: [14] = 22; vs. AC: [1] = 9
Vess: 1 hit
Igfig:  1d10+5 damage, and you're marked
Fortuna: Igfig, damage, and you're marked: [6] = 11
Igfig: And since they can't shift with you there, that's all.
Vess: I am very close to unconciousness
Igfig: Second Wind might be apropos
Igfig: also, it's your turn
Vess: How much do I take at the start of my turn?
Igfig: None
Vess: ok
Igfig: you're just slowed
Igfig: the hobs are slowed too, actually
Vess: I thought it grabbed me,
Igfig: yeah, but then it let go.  It didn't want things to get weird between the two of you.
Vess: your flavor text is confusing
Igfig: yes, yes it is
Vess: Second wind
Igfig: anything else?
Vess: Run out of region
Vess: ?
Igfig: Run where?
Vess: to the hall with everyone else.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: You could try the staircase in the center.
Lucas_Strongbow: or the shadowfucker
Vess: could I
Vess: I am not going near that thing in my current state.
Igfig: if you're only travelling one region, you can do that with a shift
Igfig: no need to walk, much less run
Vess: to the hall?
Vess: okay
Vess: stupid confusing regions
Vess: Minor actoin
Vess: Break the fucking door
Vess: 1d20+4
Fortuna: Vess, 1d20+4: [14] = 18
Vess: I now have two weapons
Igfig: yay!
Vess: End
Thorn_the_Gnoll: And my turn, time to see how well this works out.
Igfig: Thurn!
Vess: brb
Thorn_the_Gnoll: First off, I'm going to not move, cause that'd be bad.
Igfig: good idea
Igfig: maybe
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Don't really have much choice in the matter, it's either dead here or dead later really.
Igfig: yeah
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Play Fair Fight please.
Fortuna: Thorn_the_Gnoll played FAIR FIGHT (U)
Fortuna: Play at the start of your turn. Until the end of this turn, you gain a +2 bonus to the attack rolls of at-will powers.
Fortuna: Thorn_the_Gnoll drew LIVE AND LET LIVE (C)
Fortuna: Play at the end of your turn if you did not make an attack on that turn. You gain a +4 to all defenses until the start of your next turn.
Igfig: oh, that's handy
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Minor Action, I'm pulling out my grappling hook.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Standard Action:  Time for the delivery of a prime fuck you to the Shadow Hexer.
Igfig: oh man, if this works it'll be so cool
Thorn_the_Gnoll: "Hey Sunshine!  Say hello to my little friend!"
Lucas_Strongbow: It'll be boon worthy
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Figuring out my attack bonus, sorry.
Igfig: Vs Reflex
Thorn_the_Gnoll: 1d20+6 vs. Reflex
Fortuna: Thorn_the_Gnoll, vs. Reflex: [5] = 11
Igfig: ...nope.
Igfig: Someday, though.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Action point, we're gonna try this again, just means I don't get to stab him afterwards.
Igfig: k
Thorn_the_Gnoll: 1d20+6
Fortuna: Thorn_the_Gnoll, 1d20+6: [3] = 9
Lucas_Strongbow: AAAARRRGGGHHH
Igfig: noooope.
Igfig: fortuna, seriously.  This is getting a little tiring.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Hey, a question.
Igfig: I tell these people you're an honest dame.  You trying to make a liar out of me?
Igfig: yeah?
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I didn't use my action point during the last session at Castle Cocklove.
Igfig: One action point per encounter, sorry.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Damn.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Hmmm...
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Downgrade my move action to a minor.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: When all you have left is a hammer, time to hammer.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I would like to attempt to Intimidate everyone into at the very least not smacking me.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: 1d20+10
Fortuna: Thorn_the_Gnoll, 1d20+10: [18] = 28
Igfig: wow, uh
Igfig: they
Igfig: hmm
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Failing to get a hook on love, Thorn lets out a howl of rage that shakes the rafters.
Lucas_Strongbow: all die
Igfig: They will take a -2 to attack against you, which will encourage them to attack other people
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Alright.
Igfig: Like, say, the hunter over there who's drawing a bead on them with his bow.
Lucas_Strongbow: !
Igfig: Go, Lucas@
Igfig: !
Lucas_Strongbow: Can I manevuer to rapid shor everyone there who isn't Thorn?
Lucas_Strongbow: and what penalties does that get me
Igfig: No, you can only maneuver like that for a close blast
Vess: damn
Lucas_Strongbow: Super lame
Igfig: I suppose you could try to get to somewhere where Thorn had cover against you
Lucas_Strongbow: actually, I need line of sight anyway
Igfig: the eastern part of 25, say
Igfig: yeah
Lucas_Strongbow: can I just attack B, H2 and the two goblins?
Lucas_Strongbow: From where I am?
Lucas_Strongbow: No line of sight on thorn or the rest
Igfig: You do have line of sight
Igfig: but Thorn has cover
Igfig: and h1 and g7 have superior cover
Lucas_Strongbow: I willnot be able to live wit myself if I kill Thorn
Igfig: you have to target them all
Vess: Why? you've done it before.
Lucas_Strongbow: Clever shot on H2
Igfig: or, that
Lucas_Strongbow: Actually, you know what?
Lucas_Strongbow: Screw it
Lucas_Strongbow: RAPID SHOT
Vess: There's the lucas I know.
Igfig: H2 is still dazed, I think
Lucas_Strongbow: So what are my penalties?
Igfig: -2 vs. Thorn, -5 vs. H1 and g7
Lucas_Strongbow: 4#1d20+7
Fortuna: Lucas_Strongbow, 1d20+7: [15] = 22; 1d20+7: [15] = 22; 1d20+7: [7] = 14; 1d20+7: [19] = 26
Lucas_Strongbow: 1d20+5
Fortuna: Lucas_Strongbow, 1d20+5: [2] = 7
Lucas_Strongbow: 2#1d20
Fortuna: Lucas_Strongbow, 1d20: [10] = 10; 1d20: [12] = 12
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I'm guessing I just lived?
Lucas_Strongbow: 1d10+4 damage to whoever gets hit
Fortuna: Lucas_Strongbow, damage to whoever gets hit: [5] = 9
Igfig: Let's see... you hit H2, B, and g8
Igfig: ecept
Igfig: except
Vess: isnt it +2 vs h2 anyway?
Igfig: Oh right, CA
Thorn_the_Gnoll: And I lived, which is good, cause that would have just killed me.
Igfig: yeah so you hit those guys
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Or, knocked me unconscious anyways.
Lucas_Strongbow: For 9
Igfig: Flang!
Igfig: is the sound the arrows make
Lucas_Strongbow: Brigsby...Flame on!
Brigsby: Howling Tempest, Thorn's in the eye
Igfig: kickass
Brigsby: 4#1d20+7
Fortuna: Brigsby, 1d20+7: [17] = 24; 1d20+7: [4] = 11; 1d20+7: [2] = 9; 1d20+7: [6] = 13
Igfig: h2 is no longer dazed
Brigsby: vs Fort
Igfig: Hit h2 and g7
Igfig: damage?
Brigsby: 2d6+11
Fortuna: Brigsby, 2d6+11: [1, 1] = 13
Brigsby: and they're shifted into the bottom region
Lucas_Strongbow: 1 and 1!
Lucas_Strongbow: 1 AND 1!?
Vess: yeah, that's tonight for ya.
Lucas_Strongbow: FOOOOOORTUNAAAAAAAAA
Igfig: Snake Eyes!
Igfig: H2, actually, is hurled against the wall at an uncomfortable angle
Igfig: uncomfortable meaning "neck-breaking"
Brigsby: yeaaahhh
Brigsby: score one for the Brigster
Igfig: Looks like now it's just the shadowbeast and h1 in there
Igfig: But it's the shadowhexer's turn!
Brigsby: and G7 is dead too?
Vess: what is that b?
Vess: g7 was a minion?
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Blobby, tentacle dude.
Brigsby: oh
Brigsby: forgot
Igfig: yeah
Vess: oh
Igfig: what does that zone there do again?
Brigsby: enemies that start their turn there take 4 thunder damage
Igfig: I see
Vess: wooo
Igfig: Well then
Brigsby: actually each creature, not enemies
Brigsby: but Thorn's in the eye
Igfig: uh oh
Igfig: ah, right
Igfig: Okay, well, the shadowhexer decides to get funky with this
Igfig: "Ha!  You call /that/ a region of swirling destruction?"
Igfig: And then he lets off his /new/ ultimate
Igfig: WHIRLING DARKNESS
Igfig: Close burst 5
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I think that zone is a little too grimdark for us to see in.
Brigsby: does that go through walls?
Vess: I'm okay with leaving them in it for a bit.
Igfig: no, but it does go through open doors
Brigsby: ah
Igfig: it's hard to place this zone correctly
Igfig: There, I guess
Lucas_Strongbow: Nice to be included
Igfig: A wave of blackness rolls out of his body, hordes of shadows flocking around anything that isn't moving
Igfig: and flailing ferociously at anything that is
Igfig: Far, Vess, Brigsby, Lucas
Igfig:  4#1d20+7 vs. Ref
Fortuna: Igfig, vs. Ref: [11] = 18; vs. Ref: [8] = 15; vs. Ref: [9] = 16; vs. Ref: [11] = 18
Vess: hit
Igfig:  2d8+3 necrotic damage
Fortuna: Igfig, necrotic damage: [4, 7] = 14
Lucas_Strongbow: dammit
Brigsby: hit
Vess: I am at 1
Far-Walker: Dayuuuum
Lucas_Strongbow: I wish we had a cleric
Igfig: If you end your turn in the same square as you started, you will take 5 necrotic damage
Igfig: Oh, and then, as the last shadowbeast begins to dissolve, he evokes a new one in your midst
Igfig: Targetting... Brigsby.
Igfig:  1d20+7 vs. Ref
Fortuna: Igfig, vs. Ref: [9] = 16
Igfig:  2d8+3 damage if it hits
Fortuna: Igfig, damage if it hits: [8, 5] = 16
Brigsby: it hits
Lucas_Strongbow: Ig...are you trying to kill us?
Igfig: I'm trying to challenge you
Far-Walker: I think he is
Lucas_Strongbow: We can do this
Lucas_Strongbow: probably
Igfig: Boss fights are supposed to be hard
Lucas_Strongbow: fortuna...
Vess: fortuna
Far-Walker: O fortuna
Igfig: Oh yeah, and then the wolf
Vess: A few better rolls and we would be fine.
Igfig: Did I mention that the hexer and its allies get concealment while in the zone?  Because they do.
Igfig: Even if you have low-light vision
Igfig: Anyway, the wolf goes for Far-walker
Far-Walker: noooo
Igfig:  1d20+8 vs. AC
Fortuna: Igfig, vs. AC: [9] = 17
Far-Walker: Miss!
Far-Walker: Still in THE GAME
Igfig: Welp, that's that for that one.
Far-Walker: woo
Igfig: The goblins can't get into the hall without squeezing, so they all delay
Igfig: Far-walker!
Igfig: oh, and I almost forgot
Igfig:  1d6 recharge
Fortuna: Igfig, recharge: [5] = 5
Igfig: Stinging Hex recharges
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Does that mean anything for me?
Igfig: nope
Igfig: Oh, wait... you forgot to roll your saving throw on your turn
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Darn.
Igfig: you should do that now
Thorn_the_Gnoll: 1d20 to end the stinging hex I guess.
Fortuna: Thorn_the_Gnoll, to end the stinging hex I guess.: [15] = 15
Igfig: it was a save-ends effect
Far-Walker: Also, remember those goblins took some damage
Igfig: and it's ended
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Yay I can move now.
Igfig: Oh yeah, they did. Heh.
Igfig: In that case, g6 comes up to be with S
Igfig: Now, it's actually Far's turn
Far-Walker: Hm...
Far-Walker: Shifting back with Bloodbond, then...STORM OF SPIRIT SHAAAAAAAAAARDS
Far-Walker: (That's the daily)
Igfig: Woo!
Far-Walker: That's in the general area of the wolf
Far-Walker: It's burst 1, hits only enemies
Igfig: Okay
Far-Walker: 1d20+6 vs AC
Fortuna: Far-Walker, vs AC: [11] = 17
Igfig: Wait, are you using this on the wolf?  Just the wolf?
Far-Walker: Wolf and all around it. Burst 1.
Far-Walker: Who's all around it?
Igfig: S and g6
Far-Walker: Alright, two more rolls!
Far-Walker: 2#1d20+6
Fortuna: Far-Walker, 1d20+6: [1] = 7; 1d20+6: [20] = 26
Igfig: well, g6 is pretty dead
Far-Walker: Polarizing rolls for the win
Vess: g6 is now a cloud of vapor
Lucas_Strongbow: You hit the wrong guy though
Far-Walker: S still takes half damage
Far-Walker: And wolf takes...did it hit wolf?
Igfig: so he does, and yes
Igfig: The wolf dies
Far-Walker: Okay. DAMAGE ROLL TIME
Far-Walker: 1d20+2d6+3
Fortuna: Far-Walker, 1d20+2d6+3: [9, 1, 4] = 17
Igfig:   1d... 20?
Far-Walker: Ohshi-
Igfig: That's a mighty big bow.
Far-Walker: 1d10+2d6+3
Fortuna: Far-Walker, 1d10+2d6+3: [2, 2, 1] = 8
Lucas_Strongbow: FFFFFUUUU-
Vess: Fortuna
Igfig: that's mean, Fortuna
Far-Walker: That's low.
Far-Walker: So low that I'm Aciton Point'ing that mother
Igfig: well, the hexer takes 4 I guess
Far-Walker: Action Point to gain a standard. Using BURROWING SHOT!
Igfig: okay!
Far-Walker: 1d20+6
Fortuna: Far-Walker, 1d20+6: [6] = 12
Far-Walker: fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Vess: didn't the wolf take 8 before?
Igfig: the wolf is dead
Vess: yay
Igfig: it took a lot of damage
Far-Walker: Going to assume that that misses and use INEVITABLE SHOT because who doesn't use encounter powers really
Igfig: the burrowing shot misses, sadly
Far-Walker: Wait no
Lucas_Strongbow: Things are looking up though
Far-Walker: Never mind.
Far-Walker: Inevitable Shot's ineffective.
Far-Walker: So, gonna end this one with a sad face.
Far-Walker: :c
Igfig: Very sad.
Igfig: The hob goes now
Brigsby: hobgoblin takes 4 thunder damage
Far-Walker: He flips to show his sadness
Thorn_the_Gnoll: And he still has the -2 to attacking me from my intimidating roar earlier.
Igfig: That is true
Lucas_Strongbow: I whimper
Igfig: he decides to get out of this zone
Lucas_Strongbow: I whimper more
Vess: how long does a mark last?
Brigsby: until he's dead, or you end it, I think
Igfig: end of its turn actually
Brigsby: or that
Vess: I see
Igfig: Hob swings wildly at Lucas
Vess: then I don't have him marked
Igfig:  1d20+8+1 vs AC
Fortuna: Igfig, vs AC: [3] = 12
Lucas_Strongbow: OHTHANKFUCK
Igfig: and his wild swing buries his flail in the wall
Igfig: Vess!
Lucas_Strongbow: "That's the best you got?"
Vess: hmmm
Vess: I delay
Lucas_Strongbow: We need to draw the cursehexerdarkspewer thing out of that zone
Vess: nevermind
Vess: I'll attak
Lucas_Strongbow: Kill the hobgoblin
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I got the hobgoblin, maybe.
Lucas_Strongbow: Good point
Lucas_Strongbow: Backstab that mother
Vess: I can mark him
Vess: if he tries anything I'll hit him
Vess: so attack!
Vess: grappling strike
Vess: first I drop a plank
Igfig: Sounds like some kind of skateboarder slang
Vess: do I have CA?
Igfig: nope
Vess: 1d20+7
Fortuna: Vess, 1d20+7: [7] = 14
Igfig: also nope
Vess: mark him
Igfig: right
Vess: it is retarded how bad the rolls are
Igfig: it is
Vess: I'm done
Vess: brb
Lucas_Strongbow: Makes us all look massively incompetent
Igfig: Okay, Thorn!
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Alright, so that shadow doominess only hurts at the end of the turn if you started in it and stay in the same spot right?
Igfig: Oh, byt he way
Igfig: speakign of which
Igfig: Far, you stayed in the smae place, right?
Thorn_the_Gnoll: He shifted to hit those guys I think, using his racial ability.
Vess: I manuverd
Far-Walker: Shifted out, remember?
Vess: to flank
Igfig: oh, ok
Igfig: wait, Far flanked this guy?  This guy wsn't even here on Far's turn
Vess: no
Vess: I did
Thorn_the_Gnoll: No Vess.
Vess: but I need someone to help now
Igfig: I think that's Thorn.
Vess: yip
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Yup I know, my turn, time to stab.
Igfig: Also, if you do move on your turn
Igfig: do something with the icons to show that you've moved around
Igfig: even within the same region
Far-Walker: And I didn't flank the guy
Igfig: yeah
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Tactical Trick cause I like Tactical Trick, and now that that hex is gone I have free roam again.
Igfig: ok
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Backstab, cause I like to stab, and his back is right there.
Igfig: that is true
Thorn_the_Gnoll: 1d20+14
Fortuna: Thorn_the_Gnoll, 1d20+14: [20] = 34
Vess: yay
Igfig: !
Thorn_the_Gnoll: OUch.
Vess: a good roll
Igfig: What is that even?
Thorn_the_Gnoll: That is 32 damage.
Vess: Good job tearing out his spine.
Igfig: That is enough not not just "kill
Igfig: "
Igfig: him, like you guys normally do
Igfig: but actually take him past negative bloodied
Igfig: bascially, vess has it right
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I just invented the Fatality.
Vess: you gibbed him.
Vess: I guess thorn is pissed.
Lucas_Strongbow: hang on, why am I so far down the map?
Thorn_the_Gnoll: The stinging hex reminded him of abyssal fleas, bad memories.
Lucas_Strongbow: I was by the hibgiblin before
Lucas_Strongbow: hobgoblin
Igfig: people got in front of you
Lucas_Strongbow: No manners
Igfig: Well, it's your turn
Lucas_Strongbow: What does that zone do for the hex guy again?
Thorn_the_Gnoll: So Thorn has his way with the guy, and I like the idea of tearing out his spine, so pulling a bit out of Sub-Zero since I can't manage to pull a Scorpion, I now am holding the hobgoblin's head aloft with his spine dangling from it.
Igfig: gives him concealment, mostly
Lucas_Strongbow: Ok...
Igfig: Thorn, that is pretty neat
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Additionally, I'm keeping this.  The spine part, gonna stick it to the back of my leather armor later.
Lucas_Strongbow: Minor to do Aspect of the Dancing Serpent
Lucas_Strongbow: and now I will do an aimed shot
Lucas_Strongbow: What's the penalty?
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Also yeah I'm going to end my turn, I don't think I can try another intimidate from over here.
Igfig: I think Aimed shot ignores the penalty
Igfig: so just do it
Lucas_Strongbow: if it's partial
Lucas_Strongbow: 1d20+10
Fortuna: Lucas_Strongbow, 1d20+10: [14] = 24
Lucas_Strongbow: 1d10+5
Fortuna: Lucas_Strongbow, 1d10+5: [2] = 7
Lucas_Strongbow: Urgh
Igfig: uff
Brigsby: at least you hit
Lucas_Strongbow: And now I run away
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Bravely run away away.
Lucas_Strongbow: Far, far away
Igfig: Birigsiby
Lucas_Strongbow: DONE!
Brigsby: Thorn grants CA until the end of his next turn for a Monty Python reference
Brigsby: oh, my turn
Thorn_the_Gnoll: I think that was worth it.
Lucas_Strongbow: Bravely bold Sir Lucas...
Igfig: Like using the Look At Me card
Brigsby: Sorcerous Sirocco!
Lucas_Strongbow: That sounds like a magical car
Brigsby: With a clap of thunder, me and Vess fly out of the hallway, to the bottom part of 25
Igfig: Nah, it sounds like the happiest dwarf int he world learning magic
Igfig: aight
Vess: yeah
Vess: heal me. I hurt EVERYWHERE.
Brigsby: as a move action, I'll move the storm 3 squares
Lucas_Strongbow: I can try on my turn, to heal you
Brigsby: that'll put it in the region with the hexer, right?
Igfig: no, you'd have to move it 4 squares
Brigsby: okay
Brigsby: I'll move it into the hallway then, Far in the eye
Igfig: that you can certainly do
Brigsby: and for my minor I'll sustain the storm
Far-Walker: Here I am! Not rocked by the hurricane!
Igfig: Great
Brigsby: and
Brigsby: using a card is a free action, correct?
Vess: yeah
Brigsby: okay
Brigsby: play Live and Let Live please
Fortuna: Brigsby played LIVE AND LET LIVE (C)
Fortuna: Play at the end of your turn if you did not make an attack on that turn. You gain a +4 to all defenses until the start of your next turn.
Fortuna: Brigsby drew GAMBLER'S STRIDE (R)
Fortuna: Play at the start of your turn.  Roll a d20 to determine the card's effect.  The effect lasts until the end of this turn. Roll 1-9 You are immobilized.  10-20  You gain a +4 to speed.
Brigsby: end turn
Igfig: The hexer!
Igfig: play Gambler's Stride please
Fortuna: Igfig played GAMBLER'S STRIDE (R)
Fortuna: Play at the start of your turn.  Roll a d20 to determine the card's effect.  The effect lasts until the end of this turn. Roll 1-9 You are immobilized.  10-20  You gain a +4 to speed.
Fortuna: Igfig drew STAVE OFF DEATH (U)
Fortuna: Play when you are dropped to 0 hit points or fewer. You lose one healing surge. You are instead reduced to 1 hit point.
Igfig: Another fun fact: Important NPCs can use Fortune cards too
Igfig:  1d20 gambler's stride
Fortuna: Igfig, gambler's stride: [4] = 4
Vess: hahah
Igfig: :(
Brigsby: HAH
Brigsby: fortuna strikes again
Lucas_Strongbow: Not so shadowhexy now
Igfig: whatever, he's inside his zone
Vess: Does that mean I can't run up and smack him in his zone?
Igfig: perfect timing, Lucas
Igfig: He evokes a shadow beast right next to you
Lucas_Strongbow: Fantastic
Igfig:  1d20+7-2 vs. Ref
Fortuna: Igfig, vs. Ref: [1] = 6
Igfig: oh well
Lucas_Strongbow: I shine a torch on it
Igfig: and then he uses Blinding Hex on Farwalker
Igfig:  1d20+7 vs. Fort
Fortuna: Igfig, vs. Fort: [3] = 10
Igfig: poops
Lucas_Strongbow: Not his turn, today
Igfig: that is true
Igfig: it is now Far's turn
Far-Walker: Woo!
Far-Walker: Now I'm going to use a tried-and-true ranged tactic!
Far-Walker: Run to the other side of the room and Second Wind!
Igfig: yayyyyy
Far-Walker: end turn
Igfig: Vess
Far-Walker: Can't seem to move token
Vess: So do I know where he is?
Vess: can I walk up and hit him?
Igfig: looks like someone locked the token, lemme fix that
Igfig: yes you can
Vess: okay
Vess: grasping strike
Vess: what is the penalty?
Igfig: -2 for concealment
Vess: k
Vess: 1d20+6
Fortuna: Vess, 1d20+6: [7] = 13
Vess: fuck
Vess: fortuna
Vess: I swear a blood oath against you.
Vess: action point
Vess: do it again
Vess: 1d20+6
Fortuna: Vess, 1d20+6: [10] = 16
Igfig: against?
Vess: AC
Igfig: nope
Vess: I open my belly
Vess: 1d20 against death
Fortuna: Vess, against death: [8] = 8
Vess: 1 miss
Vess: end turn
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Why did you take damage?
Vess: I killed myself
Brigsby: blood oath
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Oh, well crap, there goes my plan of using you for combat advantage.
Vess: none of what I said is possible
Vess: that is not a thing that I can do.
Igfig: yeah
Igfig: also, you could also just stealth on in, Thorn
Vess: flank or whatever
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Maybe.
Igfig: it's still pretty dark in there
Thorn_the_Gnoll: So is it my turn then or what?
Igfig: yes
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Alright, so either I can try to sneak and stab him, or I could go sit myself in the eye of the hurricane and try round 3 with the grapple hook.
Igfig: up to you
Lucas_Strongbow: Grapple
Lucas_Strongbow: More fun
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Actually...  hmmm...
Igfig: oh man, I just realized I did something dumb
Igfig: oh well, too late
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Being in the hurricane region would be close enough for a sneak attack if I was using a crossbow, so maybe I can sneak attack grapple hook.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Hand crossbow anyways.
Igfig: either way
Thorn_the_Gnoll: Going off the virtue that throwing a bullet with a sling is sorta similar to throwing a grappling hook.
Thorn_the_Gnoll: So I'll go with that.
Igfig: k
