Dominique:

The Raven Queen is always logging in to impersonate her Dominique token

Thyrn:

Dominique:

*meowth voice* thoin

When dominique was a child, her mother would speak of her work as part of the cycle of life and death.

Of course, everyone did, but her mother's argumnt was better than most.

She argued that by working with the dead, one could aid the living, and better understand the movement between the two.

When she was s child, Dominique could see only the virtue of such studies.

It was later she would learn that others studied death.

And a long time before she saw all the world had to show her, of the horrors such study could unleash.

Sudura of Xols:

The Vampire Count collapses to the floor and lies still, his snarl of defiance frozen on feral lips. His undead form is resilient, and the heroes have but moments to dispense him!

Sudura of Xols:

Final Death    Even heroes of such great power are hard pressed to end a vampire of comparable might. However, despite all his innovations, while the specifics may differ, the general philosophy of vampire slaying remains the same. Effect: Sudura must be reduced to a negative hp value equal to their hit points, and then slain in a suitable manner in an ideal location.

Modifying the fog-of-war manually without a server running affects only the global exposed area (i.e. the entire map), even
if one or more tokens are selected. If you want your changes to apply to individual tokens, start a MapTool server with
Individual Fog enabled (you can leave the Alias field empty to make an anonymous server, if you wish).

This warning will not appear again for this campaign.

Istahar:

"I'll leave the slaying part to you. I'm afraid the undead aren't my specialty." She twirls towards the doorway, feathers streaming behind her. "I can buy us a few seconds against the spirits when they come, but not much more than that."

Hugo:

"Damnit, I've never had to deal with a vampire before - Usually just hitting things with the stick until it stops moving is enough."

Hugo:

"Ideas?"

Dominique:

"Fire, silver, blessed objects. Pierce the heart and sever the head."

elfDM:

The clock is stil ticking. You have a lot of work ahead of you if you wish to finally dispatch this abomination. You should take a moment to survey yhe area, and consider the best method to dispath them.

Thyrn:

"Why not just get Dominique to do it again? Worst comes to worst we can just bring the body out with us."

elfDM:

kepe in mind, it may not be the msot obvious vulnerabilities that will have the most effect

Thyrn:

"It is not as if he is heavy."

elfDM:

oh, and one more thing

Istahar:

"Well, he left us a convenient gift, then," she says, thumbing to the boiling cauldron in the room's center.

Sudura of Xols:

Just a Drop    The Vampire Count has woven their undead form to be extremly efficient in the use of the Fuel the living can provide. Why even a drop of blood or shred of life essence can work wonders for their necrometabolism. Effect: Whenever a character takes damage within the aura, Sudura of Xols gains that many Vitae Points. If their vitae ever exceeds their negative hit point value, they can awake with hit points equal to their vitae, which is reduced to 0.

Hugo:

"Won't he just uh, wake up? Get up? How does that work?"

Alex:

"If he was weaker I could annihilate him all kind of ways. You sort of peel away the - the point is he's thought of them."

Pierrot:

"Why not just book it with him right now?"

Alex:

what are his current negative hitpoints

elfDM:

Also keep in mind that this area is still wareded against teleportation. If you haul him out of here and he does wake up, he could flee pretty easily and you'd be back to square one.

elfDM:

ill didplay his hp on his token, mouseover to see it, and his current vitae level

elfDM:

there may also be other features of teh terrain that gift him vitae

Pierrot:

HRrrm.

Dominique:

Would the cauldron help us destroy him, and/or is it fueling him such that we should destroy it?

Pierrot:

imo cauldrons are trouble

Istahar:

"If he awakes while we're fleeing, it could cause a disaster." She clicks her tongue in irritation. "Damn! Just when it was looking easy, for a change."

Alex:

i assume every one of those bubbling cauldrons that's red contain blood?

Thyrn:

"I could try to sever his soul from his carefully designed body... do you think he thought of that?"

Istahar:

"I wouldn't put it past him."

elfDM:

The Cauldron is purely alchemical, altho that bubbling tub of blood up north is a worry. The fire from the cauldron is fierce, but if Dominique was a self made vampire, the first thing she'd do is remove vulnerability to fire.

Hugo:

"Hm, definitely worth keeping in our back pocket, but let's review our options real fast."

Alex:

"Anyway, wood's easy, we've got trees everywhere here. I'll arrange for some stakes while one of you deal with the head - and we should drag him out into the light, while we're at it."

Pierrot:

is there a sun here?

elfDM:

the sun does shine outside this dome, correct

Alex:

"Now, he's not conscious so he can't compulsively count anything, and anywhere we drag him we're effectively inviting him to... Pierrot, how easily can you give us some running water?"

Dominique:

"Alex, can you boil off or otherwise destroy that pot of blood in such a way that wisps of it don't somehow float over here?"

Istahar:

She furrows her brow. "Running water... hurts him? That must be inconvenient."

Alex:

Alex makes his way south around the small complex, waving a hand absent-mindedly at the dead trees beside it and causing dozens of impromptu stakes to snap and peel themselves free from the wood. They hang in the air and follow him to Sudura.

elfDM:

remember, alex is outside with lmiimted line of sight

Pierrot:

"Pretty easy but I bet we could make do with that potion stuff too."

Dominique:

oh woops

Pierrot:

we're in combat time

elfDM:

there is also water outside

Alex:

"I could handle the vapor and such, yeah."

Thyrn:

"..so what should I do?"

elfDM:

do remember, everything you do will be in combat time

elfDM:

and you do ned to do a bunch of dmg to him in any event

Pierrot:

"Well, not to be rude, but you need to absolutely hack his body to shit."

Alex:

"Take off the head, and the arms, and the... just make it harder for him to heal!"

Istahar:

"Shred the body as much as you can. I doubt we can destroy him in his current state just by tossing him over a river."

Pierrot:

"The formations and the synergies he's set up in his internal alchemy are just too complex."

Alex:

oh, here's what i want to do

Dominique:

"Cut him to pieces, but not small enough pieces that you accidentally lose any."

Alex:

i want to see what the actual function of the rune he's defaced with blood is

Thyrn:

"...okay."

elfDM:

i will give you guys some data

Thyrn:

well it's still hugo's turn by Combat Display

Istahar:

yeah, if hugo wanted to spend an AP or not

Thyrn:

but i think it's mine in reality

Istahar:

if not then it's thyrn's turn

Hugo:

yeah i do not want to AP right now.

elfDM:

for instance, alex can tell from memory that the rune is an alchemical artifice designed to prevent contamination of the workshop. . it's not clear why sudura defaced it

Thyrn has received initiative.

Hugo:

I've finished my turn.

elfDM:

ok thyrn's go!

elfDM:

nd rmember, in 2 rounds time, you will have Company

Istahar:

so, assuming that proned stacks with combat advantage, thyrn currently has a +9 bonus to hit

Thyrn:

Thyrn props the body up against the wall for a moment, draws his blades, takes a deep breath.... and exhales.

Thyrn:

actually he's helpless so I CDG automatically

Istahar:

ah, cool

elfDM:

prone is ca iirc, but yeah

Thyrn:

Time to use a good power to fucking obliterate his mortal form.

Thyrn:

"Behold.."

Thyrn:

Battle Fury Stance   Effect: You gain a +6 power bonus to damage rolls but suffer a -2 penalty to AC. Special: This stance ends when you spend a healing surge. You can end this stance as a free action during your turn but not on the same turn you activated it.

Alex:

thyrn's in extremely good shape, a helpless target like sudura has like, -5 to all defenses on top of everything else

Alex:

and might literally be autocrit or something, i forget the full rules

Alex:

but basically coup de grace DOES exist in 4e

Thyrn:

it's autocrit

Thyrn:

i think? dying counts as helpless i'm FAIRLY sure

Thyrn:

the legendary 1 roll

elfDM:

oh wait iw asn't paying attention

Thyrn:

324

Dominique:

that'll do, gnoll

Hugo:

ACTually,

elfDM:

doh i forgot about coup de grace

elfDM:

sorry everyone, i meant to put that in his superior being macro

Pierrot:

happyelf, sweating: uhh his unedad form gives him 50% crit resistance,

elfDM:

it was not my intention for you to be able to autocrit him

Hugo:

:thinking:

elfDM:

my aplogies for not being clear on this

Istahar:

ah, okay

Thyrn:

tfw holds off flavour

elfDM:

plz reroll, make sure you get all boni from helpless, ect, but he can't be coup de graced. what kinda perfect vampire would he be if you could do the ole lop and chop that easily?

Alex:

i guess without autocrit we can use thyrn's original roll?

Alex:

the 42 33 38

Thyrn:

if we use my original roll i literally miss a dead body

Hugo:

you dont miss, its just chocked full of undead magic

Thyrn:

which, i don't know, feels insanely stupid and bad

elfDM:

1 always misses

Hugo:

soemeone give this man a reroll

elfDM:

to slay an immortal, one must strike perfectly, much as thyrn does at other times. you can't just wail away at the corpse.

elfDM:

but i am cool with you rerolling

Alex:

it's possible that 1s don't miss the helpless, but if they do it's because of sudura's natural armor class

elfDM:

since it was my bad you thought you could coup

Alex:

super tough tissues that instantly snap back together, etc

elfDM:

yeah he's made iof superdense hybrid vampire/wight tissue

Thyrn:

*carefully explains to martial character how he is unable to hit a dead body*

Alex:

wight power

Thyrn:

unfortunately i no longer have compendium access

Hugo:

just reroll, helf said it was fine

Dominique:

imo that 1 hits the corpse but doesnt do any damage

Alex:

yeah i can't check either, all i know for certain is that helpless foes are an effective +7 to hit (ca + -5 to their defenses)

Dominique:

or just reroll imo

Istahar:

yeah you should have a total of +12 to hit when combined with my defense penalty

elfDM:

you can hit it, you just have to hit it really well to overcome regeneration and resilience and make sure you don't say, accidentally knock their head ito a bubbliong cauldron of blood, ect, ect

elfDM:

and like i said, you can reroll

wait is that right

Thyrn:

yeah it is

elfDM:

looks right

elfDM:

a ything else from thyrn this round? move, minor?

Alex:

what action does it take to move sudura

Thyrn:

"Seems almost wrong to do this to a body. Ah well," Thyrn bisects the body with an upward slash, leaping up and slashing to prune the arms, and finally slamming a thoroughly mutilated torso into the ground with pair of downward swipes.

Pierrot has received initiative.

Thyrn:

I've finished my turn.

Thyrn:

Gained 10 HP. HP: 212 / 221 — Surges: 3 / 14 — APs: 2 — Daily Items: 4

elfDM:

thyrn could roll skill to see if he can scop him up and start moving

elfDM:

uif you have somewhere to go

Hugo:

Hugo holds back a brief moment of sickness watching the gorey display but regains his composure. "Yeah, oof... let's just end this quicky."

Dominique:

"Not much a bleeder." Dominique says dispassionately. "I suppose he'd begrudge every drop."

Alex:

"Which is good. We don't want to spread that stuff around."

Pierrot:

alright, so.

Thyrn:

do you want me to pick him up and move?

Thyrn:

I still have a minor/move technically

Pierrot:

am i spoiling his blood cauldrons? clearing the rune? grabbing the potion for Running-water?

Hugo:

water is the coolest option

elfDM:

as noted, there is actual water outside

elfDM:

altho it's pretty dank it could be made to run

Alex:

i didn't realize that was water

Alex:

i thought it was sand or something

Thyrn:

well if I can do so with a move/minor I'd like to collect his disparate body parts and prepare for transport

Thyrn:

if needed I can always drop it as a free action

elfDM:

yeah

elfDM:

you can do wiht with move+minor

Istahar:

sounds like a plan

Alex:

but rune, cauldron, and central triangle thing are all scene elements i want to examine, and for the actual killing attempt i think we want like stake + sunlight + running water + garlic at the least

elfDM:

its is a bit fiddly what with the dismemberment

Alex:

i bet there's some garlic on the shelves

elfDM:

icymi, the rune is just to keep out impurities, and it's unclear why sudura defaced it

Pierrot:

what is 'icymi'

elfDM:

in case you missed it

elfDM:

or In Contempt Yo missed info

Thyrn:

"Could someone uh.. find me a sack or bag or something?" Thyrn picks up to the two arms and gives them a little wiggle. "I might need a hand carrying all this! Haha."

elfDM:

^

elfDM:

also pierrot

elfDM:

athe the stat fo your round

elfDM:

take 10 fire dmg

elfDM:

and figure out what you're doing

Istahar:

"I'm sure he'd lend you one, if you asked." She unclips her cape, balls it, and hurls it at Thyrn. "Carry it in this. I'll get Xaraphon to clean it after."

Dominique:

Dominique laughs behind her hand.

Alex:

well the question is what impurities the rune actually keeps out

Alex:

that sudura would want to get rid of

Pierrot:

It probably keeps out unholy abomionations.

Pierrot:

Suffered 10 dmg. HP: 121 / 166 — Surges: 11 / 15 — APs: 1 — Daily Items: 4

Hugo:

Hugo wretches a bit at Thyrn's macabre joke. "Y-yeah, I can help if you need it."

Alex:

hmm, does that mean that if we put him right on top of it and then reactivate it it'll vape him

elfDM:

aalex can tell that

elfDM:

it's for basic impurities

elfDM:

like making sure people don't walk itno the lab with a bunch of phlogiston on their boots or whatever

Alex:

well what basic impurities are present in the feywild that would be deleterious to the experiments/battle preparations of a supervampire. i'm pretty sure sudura isn't weak to pollen

Alex:

either way, i think we can shortcut the issue by just dragging him outside

elfDM:

to be clear, the rune he defaced

Thyrn:

"What, do not tell me you are unable to manage such sights, Hugo." Thyrn piles the head in first, followed by the arms, and then the legs. Mismatched parts, so they don't fuse together on their own or something. "You know if this was on the field of battle he would have been screaming and bleeding everywhere during this too."

elfDM:

was the one keeping out impurities

Pierrot:

Alright, I'd like to take a quick sweep of the shelves for vampirically-resonant materials like garlic, silver, holy water, that kind of stuff, and then i also want to see what's going on with the blood, acid, and poison cauldrons, and the second blood cauldron.

Alex:

ohh

Alex:

there's not like, an open roof or anything is there

Alex:

or heck, a strong beam of sunlight in through a window

elfDM:

with snulight and vampires, more is always better

Alex:

we have to balance that against the idea of a re-established clean room, of course. but maybe we can duplicate the rune's effect with some study outside

Hugo:

"I like to think I have the courtesy of either knocking my foe out or just rattling their domes enough to skip the screaming and bleeding part. It's one advantage fighting with your fists has, but I suppose it's failed to ready me to play mortician..." Hugo reaches down and pinches the vampire's thigh between his fingers, recoiling a bit as he lifts it up.

elfDM:

no silver of holy water, and you can provide that yourselves, more or less, pierrot does find some feywild garlic stored in a very secure flask. he can sterelize the eniter lab with a standard aciton but keep in mind, running water is an issue, too

Alex:

well alex can take care of the water if need be. although there's also stakes

Pierrot:

oh how fresh was the blood btw

Thyrn:

"Well, is there any reason to stay, or is this something we can do elsewhere?"

Alex:

and was it all his

Alex:

"We almost definitely want him outside."

Istahar:

"Not that I can think of. Get him into the light."

elfDM:

the blood did not seem fresh

elfDM:

you're quite sure it was his

Pierrot:

Well, maybe we want to hurl him out through the window, lol.

Thyrn:

well if I still have a move I will, if not someone else who is very strong can carry him out

elfDM:

thyrn's actions are all used upbut he can hand off the burden if need be

elfDM:

wht actions are pierrot taking?

Pierrot:

well im just not real clear on what my actual action economy is. like what if he's got Backup Tissue or even a gross vampire fetus inside one of the blood cauldrons. what kind of action is it to chek that kind of thing and/or spoil the blood cauldrons

elfDM:

a standard. you can just vaporize everything in the room, you're the master of storms

elfDM:

these are apparatus, you just took down the actual guy, his lab kit is not more formidable or treacherous than he is

elfDM:

you can burn it all down to carbon on the floor

Alex:

just get the garlic first!

Pierrot:

Alright. Then after I grab the garlic I'm just going to straight up smoke the room with my standard.

elfDM:

flavour that!

Pierrot:

Pierrot's been thinking about the best way to sterilize Sudura's lab. You never know if he's got any backup coffins of soil or whatever a wight uses to reincarnate. But as usual the simplest way is the quickest. "Please take your hands off the equipment" says Pierrot, and as his friends lift their hands it all explodes in a shower of sparks and glass.

Pierrot:

"Let's get him outside, quick. And ... don't breathe if you don't have to."

Pierrot:

Then with my move I'll tp through the window and begin helping Alex with his preparations

elfDM:

do so!

Hugo:

"Right. Okay."

Istahar has received initiative.

elfDM:

Istahar! Actions?

Thyrn:

"Right. Everyone start heading out then- where do you want his remains?"

Alex:

"Right smack on the bridge, I think. If we turn the water beneath it into a river..."

Istahar:

Silverflame Strike         Rolled 50 vs. Reflex    —    25 radiant damage.   Hit: And one ally you can see gains a +2 power bonus to his or her next attack roll against the target.       Second Damage Roll: 27   Click to toggle Combat adv. (all) on Selected Target(s)

Pierrot:

"I've got the garlic, you have any alchemical silver?"

Alex:

alright, i want to snap some stakes off the nearby trees whilst moving forward and getting the water clean + flowing

Alex:

can that be like minor, move, standard

elfDM:

sure, although the master of storms would doa lot better with the water

elfDM:

minor move standard can stake, move, and purify the water, but pierrot will need to get it moving

Alex:

well, if he can do that next turn i guess i can like set up some force lenses to focus the sunlight

Alex:

Alex strides forward, brow furrowed in concentration. He's surrounded by a small swarm of wooden stakes, as though by the stingers of otherwise invisible and gigantic hornets, and he's gesturing and mouthing words silently at the water before him all the while. Signs draw themselves into the ripples, and serpents of calcified gray and brown go crawling into the grass at the water's edge while the water itself turns clear and sparkling.

Dominique:

anyway, 119 total damage

Thyrn:

i think it's assumed I have the stuff

elfDM:

The wrath of the Raven Queen is well suited to this task. The Undead Form is now stripped of almost all of its resistance.

elfDM:

your go, hu go

elfDM:

thyrn has al the bits, hugo could grab them and run

Hugo:

alright, let's go with that then.

Thyrn:

martial characters fight over who carries the gross shit

Istahar:

yeah, you can double move and get outside, then thyrn can follow up with a move + charge or w/e

Hugo:

Hugo makes a small pouch-bowl by lifting up the bottom of his robes. "Just drop that nasty stuff in here, I can take care of it."

Thyrn:

Thyrn hands him the bundled ends of the cloak. "You are not carrying a corpse in your robe. Just take this and move- and careful, bodies are heavier than you might think."

Thyrn:

"Meat is dense stuff."

elfDM:

esp this meat

elfDM:

make your moves, hugo

Dominique:

Dominique shouts down the hall. "Don't carry the corpse in your robes! It spreads disease that way!"

Hugo:

Hugo offers an unconcerned shrug and just takes the payload, then hops out the window.

Hugo:

He asks Alex, "Where do you need me to dump this stuff?"

Thyrn:

on the bridge dude..

Alex:

"Middle of the bridge, right over the water."

Hugo:

Oh whoops I misunderstood

Hugo:

"Right."

elfDM:

feel free to retake yr move

Hugo:

yeha i will :\

elfDM:

*breathes in thru teeth*

elfDM:

noticed us passes right over that pool of vampire bloood

Hugo:

hm

Alex:

it's really more a SMEAR of vampire blood

Thyrn:

Maybe let me handle this frankly

Hugo:

no ive already botched everything twice, it's only fair that i look like a dumbass.

Pierrot:

anyway, we moved him over his own blood, like i suggested we avoid by dumping him out the window, so Let's See What We've Won

elfDM:

im sorry count, but i gott be fair on the Count

As hugo passes over the Rune in the main cirridor, he feels as if his grusome burden has grown oddly heavier. He glances back and sees most of the blood on the floor as it glops gruesomely up into Istahar's cape, seeping into the body parts within!

elfDM:

Sudura is at vitae 300 but he'll need to absord another 200 dmg wiht his aura before he can awake

Istahar:

She hisses out her nose. "That's going to be hard to clean out."

Thyrn:

punch it back out of his body, duh

Hugo:

Well since I still have the body I can just AP.

elfDM:

true

elfDM:

kepe in mind. . company's coming

elfDM:

but they're still a ways off

Sudura of Xols:

Just a Drop    The Vampire Count has woven their undead form to be extremly efficient in the use of the Fuel the living can provide. Why even a drop of blood or shred of life essence can work wonders for their necrometabolism. Effect: Whenever a character takes damage within the aura, Sudura of Xols gains that many Vitae Points. If their vitae ever exceeds their negative hit point value, they can awake with hit points equal to their vitae, which is reduced to 0.

Hugo:

sure but I mean, it needs to take the damage anyway so it might as well be me

elfDM:

true

Hugo:

You have spent an action point. Current APs: 1

Hugo:

argh, no valid targets. sec

Hugo:

Dual-Blade Action (AP)     Target: vampire  —     Rolled 44 vs. AC    —    43 damage.     Target: vampire  —     Rolled 52 vs. AC    —    40 damage.   Effect: You can spend an action point to make one melee basic attack with your primary weapon and another with your offhand weapon, instead of taking an extra action. You gain a bonus to the damage rolls equal to your Wisdom modifier.       Damage Bonus: « WisBonus = 6 »

Hugo:

and quarry:

Hugo:

Hunter's Quarry         Quarry Damage: « 3d8 = 20 »   Click to toggle Quarry:Green on Selected Target(s)

Hugo:

so thats 83.

Suffered 83 dmg.
HP: -456 / 500 — Surges: 3 / 3 — APs: 0

Thyrn has received initiative.

Hugo:

I've finished my turn.

elfDM:

thyrnn

Thyrn:

well I'm not sure I have much to do here at all really

Istahar:

you can move and then charge, pretty much

Thyrn:

Basic Attack (Melee)         Rolled 49 vs. AC    —    45 damage.   Click to toggle Mark:Black on Selected Target(s)

Pierrot has received initiative.

Thyrn:

I've finished my turn.

Hugo:

Realizing his mistake (but thankfully being out of sight of most of his comrades), Hugo quickly drives the end of his staff through what's left of the vampire's head twice for good measure. Hopefully that'll do it.

Suffered 45 dmg.
HP: -501 / 500 — Surges: 3 / 3 — APs: 0

Dominique:

Thyrn: hugo hold the bag up. this is going to be great. i'm going to run at it real fast and do a sweet trick

Pierrot:

Are there any materials I need to pick up or should I just truck on over to the bridge?

Thyrn:

Thyrn races in behind hugo, slamming his footpaws down on the creeping globules of blood trying to snake their way back towards Sudura's body. "Hey- HEY! None of this!"

Istahar:

i think just truck to the bridge and get the water running

Alex:

doesn't seem like there's anything left in there

elfDM:

The Malevolent Power of the Vampire Count has been matched by pure carnage, and you sense that you can now complete his passage into final death.

elfDM:

You can't do any more dmg to him, but he won't wake up unless you somehow suffer 200 damage while in close proximity to him

Hugo:

"Oh, hey - Let's just get this over with. I think the smoke is going to my head. That or the unbridaled magical energies coursing through this place. Or both."

Thyrn:

"Quickly now, quickly! We will be set upon in a matter of moments!"

elfDM:

you can end him with a standard action while adjacent- still gotta do a bit fo up close and personal

elfDM:

if you're jsut out fo range pierrot you can jump in and do the honors

Pierrot:

i can't even get close enough with action poitning so instead im just gonna get as close as I can and hurl a stick over that way.

Pierrot:

id basically need 2 move actions to get there

elfDM:

aas then it must wait for another

elfDM:

oh

Thyrn:

the slowest person here should unironically let thyrn carry them if we need to run

elfDM:

pierot still needs to hasten the current

elfDM:

you can do that

Thyrn:

i'm very strong and speed 11

Pierrot:

oh, alex just melted/renewed the water?

Istahar:

yeah get the ol' water running

Istahar:

he cleansed it so that it can flow properly

Pierrot:

yeah, then i get a nice stiff breeze/flow going

Pierrot:

"Water ... flow!"

Alex:

open porttals to the elemental chaos on both the left and the right so it starts circulating

Istahar:

can i straight up end sudura on my turn or do i need an alex-made stake for that

elfDM:

also take fire dmg and save vs fire

Pierrot:

Nothing could go wrong with opening portals with two seconds' work.

elfDM:

the stakes are in position

Pierrot:

oh i forgot to save vs it last turn

* Riidi rolls: 1d20 => 18

elfDM:

you can end him on you turn istahar

Pierrot:

boom, done

Istahar:

k

Istahar has received initiative.

elfDM:

but beware. . this is the final round. . company's coming

elfDM:

do what tou wilt

Thyrn:

Istahar should move adjacent to me so I can carry m'lady if this ends up being a footrace

Istahar:

In a running swoop, she grabs one of the nearby stakes, holding it next to her sword. The metal warps and twists into a long, spearlike shaft, holding the nestled stake as its point. She vaults forwards and plunges the stake-spear deep into the vampire's black heart, the tip glinting with the power of the Supernal.

Istahar:

The shaft hums in triumph as she twists it into Sudura's torso until there's a satisfying squelch of something bursting.

Sudura of Xols:

At the final moment, the Vampire Count struggles fourth, streams of dark blood struggling to drag his form into cohesion- but it is far too late. The Running water, the Faewild noonday sun, garlic, silver, stake of ash, all too much to his defences to overcome in such a state of ruin.

Sudura of Xols:

The Stake pierces his heart as heaves in his shattered torso, and his eyes widen

Hugo:

"... Gross."

Sudura of Xols:

"They're coming Pierrot- I. . I don't know which of us is in deeper trouble-"

Thyrn:

"I bet it was satisfying, however."

Istahar has received initiative.

Istahar:

She snaps the stake off, the shaft flowing back into a sword, which she sheathes.

The Count collapses into ash, his remains crackling and crumbling down until nothinf of his malice remains.

elfDM:

note, still in combat time

Istahar:

She allows herself a brief sigh of relief. And then:

Istahar:

"We've got to get out of here."

Hugo:

"He's right though, we need to be out of here, yesterday."

elfDM:

any other actions from istahar?

Alex:

"I don't think we have ten minutes for a portal."

Istahar:

was killing him a standard action

Thyrn:

"Correct."

Hugo:

"How about good ol' fashioned running?"

Closer now, closer by far. A sound deep and droning. To the north, Closing fast. . so fast

elfDM:

yes kiling himtook a standard

Istahar:

"Back the way we came, then."

Istahar:

i'll stay here so i can be carried by thyrn's big, strong arms

Istahar:

due to having probably the worst movespeed of the entire party

Alex has received initiative.

Istahar:

I've finished my turn.

elfDM:

Alex, actions? You can sense them out there, closing fast. But something is confusing you about how they're moving. It's very concrete, not really magical at all, but you can't quite find the range on them. They're so swift, but always seem to be a lot closer than you expect them to be. No details yet.. they're too far out, and moving too fast

Alex:

"They're coming on foot, or horseback - and they'll keep coming and keep getting closer literally no matter how much ground we cover, I think."

Alex:

okay we have a problem

Alex:

this client is counting diagonals as 1.5 moves

elfDM:

oh snap

elfDM:

riiidiii

Pierrot:

lmao whoops

Pierrot:

It's, uhh

elfDM:

i hope we can change daton the fly

Alex:

anyway, i move "ten" down there

Pierrot:

The horrible Euclidean nature of the Feywild.

Thyrn:

"Well, despite their metaphysical advantage they will still need to match my speed to catch me."

Alex:

holy shit.

Alex:

what if, in the feywild, diagonals actually do cost 1.5

elfDM:

Pierrot: The horrible Euclidean nature of the Feywild.

elfDM:

i wish i coudl take credit for that

elfDM:

but i asusme it's riidis settings and i hope he can chagne tem

Alex:

okay all my bursts are shaped like this now

elfDM:

altho i gues swe can eyeball it

Pierrot:

i cannot change them without taking the server down

elfDM:

you guys are about to be in a hell of a fight or indee chanse

Alex:

ANYWAY, i move down there, and have nothing special to do with my minor or standard so i might just move again OR ready a magic missile for the first attacker

elfDM:

do we wana change this or jsut eyebal it

Alex:

what do we need to do to turn this INTO a chase rather than a fight

Alex:

i'm fine to eyeball

elfDM:

run. the two will be the same

Pierrot:

"Maybe we can make it to the Hedge. But probably not."

Thyrn:

"Let us try running before we try fighting. And please, do keep up."

Hugo:

"I'm with Thyrn. Never say never."

elfDM:

there wil leba it of abstraction in that i wil be crossing you between maps that are not adjacent

Alex:

well in that case, instead of moving 8, i run 10, twice

Alex:

Alex doesn't need to hear that twice. He literally takes off, soaring across the temporarily-running water with the aid of the adamant staff.

elfDM:

all done? your do dominiaue

elfDM:

or evne dominique

elfDM:

remember to take fire dmg and save

Istahar:

istahar can match speeds on her next turn but if thyrn could carry her just a lil bit out of the danger zone that'd be appreciated

Thyrn:

"Haha, that is the spirit!"

elfDM:

and you cna make it over that water?

Dominique:

fly speed bb

elfDM:

nice

Thyrn:

thyrn can run 26 tiles in a turn

Dominique has received initiative.

Hugo has received initiative.

Dominique:

Suffered 10 dmg. HP: 84 / 134 — Surges: 7 / 11 — APs: 1 — Daily Items: 2

Thyrn:

him carrying you is like riding a motorcycle

Dominique:

I've finished my turn. Saving throw: Rolled 10. Success: Dominique has overcome ongoing fire.

Hugo:

neat

Dominique:

wait really

Hugo:

run is +4 right?

elfDM:

isthar can paraglide off thyrn like he's a speedboat

Dominique:

okay when we get back thyrn has to give us all rides

Alex:

run is speed+2, but you have -5 to attack and grant combat advantage for some span (start of your next turn? end?)

Alex:

and i did it twice

elfDM:

did dom run as well?

Dominique:

yeah, double run

Hugo:

Hugo takes off like a magically-propelled projectile, being quite in his element.

Hugo:

there, two regular moves

elfDM:

did you complete both

Hugo:

yep

elfDM:

because you can skip to the next map fi you want- ok

Hugo:

oh ok

Hugo:

i had 1 more square actually

Hugo:

so lez do it

Thyrn has received initiative.

Hugo:

I've finished my turn.

Istahar:

"I doubt I can match your pace, to be frank, Thyrn." She clears her throat. "Would you mind-"

Thyrn:

so what kind of action does it take to pick someone up

elfDM:

Thyrn!

elfDM:

hmm

elfDM:

roll atheltics to do it as a minor

Thyrn:

*blows dust off book labeled SKILLS*

Thyrn:

« 1d20+27 = 15 + 27 = 42 »« 1d20+27 = 17 + 27 = 44 »

elfDM:

nice

Istahar:

the good shit.

elfDM:

done

Thyrn:

"Of course not-" Thyrn hooks an arm under Istahar's knees, and picks her up like one would a wounded soldier. "-it is time to move very quickly, after all."

elfDM:

i assuem this is soem kinda cool thyrn \runnign wihtistahar boosting off him and gliding thing

Thyrn:

Alright. I double run move, for 26 tiles,

Thyrn:

which is uh

Thyrn:

more than is visible

elfDM:

sec

elfDM:

dtriaght south ia ssume?

Thyrn:

yeah

Istahar:

She lets her wings curl inwards until they vanish. She coughs into her sleeve and mumbles a, "Thank you," as Thyrn takes off like an arrow.

elfDM:

pierrott

Thyrn:

Nothing is faster than a dog.

Pierrot has received initiative.

Hugo:

"Let's keep moving, people! We've got, uh, something back there!"

Pierrot:

Fey Step

Thyrn:

Thyrn's soars across the smooth stone with a grace unbecoming of his size. "Consider yourself lucky, only a handful of human orphans, injured Skyrunners, and a certain someone have shared this experience."

Pierrot:

believe it or not, im in a position wher ei have to USE A POWER not to be straight up a turn behind

Pierrot:

so i get onto the bridge and then i take off running. "Shit, shit shit. Fuck."

Istahar:

"It's certainly..." The wind tears through her hair like a tornado. "How do you run this fast?"

elfDM:

ok, here it comes,

elfDM:

introing

The sound again. That noise. Closer. A call to the hunt.

Thyrn:

"Training."

Sudura said that the thicket was a defence. A distraction.

That the Hedge Row was not the place the real menace lurked.

That Madness and Fickele whims, chaos and the unknowable, these were not the faces of true horror.

What horror did he speak of? What could be worse than Madness?

It comes at you, barreling through the alchemists lab. The dome explodes into rubble at it's passing

Modifying the fog-of-war manually without a server running affects only the global exposed area (i.e. the entire map), even
if one or more tokens are selected. If you want your changes to apply to individual tokens, start a MapTool server with
Individual Fog enabled (you can leave the Alias field empty to make an anonymous server, if you wish).

This warning will not appear again for this campaign.

Hugo:

"What--"

Istahar:

"Give me a lesson, then, when we're not busy trying to stop one madman or another." She grabs a handful of hair to keep it out of her eyes as she turns to see the Wraith Lord barreling through the ruins.

Alex:

i assume that the word 'wraithlord' actually does just float in small caps in front of and beside that thing

Wraith Lord:

It lands on the other edge of the bridge with a shuddering boom which shakes your feet as you run. It lands smoothe, like an acrobat, despite it's immense, towering sieze and the alien cast of it's otherwise humanoid form.

Pierrot whispers: oh hell yes!!!!!!!!!!

Wraith Lord:

As it rises high on angular, armored legs, a deep droning song emerges from the featureless face. The Horn of the Wild Hunt

Thyrn:

"Since the day I was told my mother was dead I have trained to be the strongest, most skilled soldier the world has ever known. Nearly every spare hour I spend upon this. That is all there is to it." Thyrn ventures a peek over his shoulder- the others better hurry the fuck up. "Hey! Pick up the pace!"

Hugo:

"Is that a warforged?!"

Pierrot:

"It's if the guy who invented the warforged worked on his craft for another millennium! With his colleagues!"

Wraith Blade 6:

Smaller figures blur into view through the treeline. Larger than giants, swfter than elves. Twin blades whirl around them as they run, an endless wardance across the landscape.

Hugo:

Hugo mutters something under his breath about the feywild and warforged make no sense together but mostly just keeps running.

Thyrn:

"We are ABSOLUTELY NOT fighting those! Come on, come on!"

Wraith Knight 2:

Two larger ones drop onto the ground behind their smaller escorts, wicked looking lances protruding from each arm.

Alex:

"This is absurd-" Alex isn't slowin down, though.

Istahar:

"I'm glad we didn't waste much time back there."

Wraith Lord:

The entities that pursue you are beyond construct, perhaps by a thousand years or more. They move like living things, swifter and more agile, but massive, built of materials that can only be imagined, woven with precsion that is dreamlike, and yet it seems, defines a valid concepttion of matter and energy moving as one.

Hugo:

"Yeah I'm glad I just ignored all direction and took the worst possible path outside. Really worked out in the long run."

The Vampire Count built himself towards immortality. And he feared these thins.

You whisper to Riidi: Pirrot can glimpse a sigil upon them. A heart in a chalice. An old eladrin symbol related to the afterlife. 'Beyond death, a worthy vessle for a valiant Soul."

Istahar:

She grips at her shoulder, grimacing. "I'm only glad those things seem to be stuck here, at least. That's a battlefield nightmare waiting to happen."

Pierrot:

One of the benefits of an elemental body is that you don't actually use your mouth to draw in oxygen.

elfDM:

ok guys

elfDM:

the rule is, you gotta get off the bottom of the second map

elfDM:

theone you can see to the south

Pierrot:

While running at top speed, Pierrot still has plenty of opportunity to gripe. "This is definitely worse than I thought. The great thing is, I already thought it was really bad."

elfDM:

if you do that, you're home free!

elfDM:

if not. .

elfDM:

and don't let up because thee things are fast

elfDM:

how fast?

Wraith Lord:

Momentum    Despite their size, these entities move with speed and a fluid grace, the mass of their towering forms another weapon in their arsenal. Effect: The Wraithguard move with unerarthly grace, but are in fact subject to inertia, making their momentum at speed a constant concern. Each of the wraithguard have a facing indicator which shows which direction their momentum is taking them in. They can trigger special actions that move them along the path of their momentum, shift its heading when they take cetrtain actions, and use it in other ways. They are also limited by inertia- it is difficult for them to reverse course, and their ability to evade is limited by their current momentum. Any movement taken using momentum cannot be prevented, cancelled or reduced, but if it would normally be prevented or cancelled, the Wraith Guard falls prone once the movement is complete, and the fall provokes opportunity attacks. Forced movement along the momentum heading gains a +3 bonus and maxxed out knocks the WraithGuard prone triggering oas- but forced movement not along the heading must spend 1 square of movement to rotate the intertia marker one step before beginning forced movement along the new heading.

Pierrot:

"I don't think they're stuck here, Istahar. I think this is just where they live."

Istahar:

"Then let's hope they like it here!"

elfDM:

they don't act this round obv

elfDM:

but i am now

elfDM:

rolling

elfDM:

for initiative

Pierrot:

"Also, and I don't want to sound alarmist here, but I'm pretty sure that each of them is just one eladrin."

elfDM:

Alex! your goo!@

Alex:

hmm. have we seen what their actual Speeds are

Hugo:

well on the bright side hugo can make it south in two turns of non-running

Istahar:

istahar can hop off here and make it the rest of the way under her own steam in one turn

Istahar:

so thyrn can help someone else to the finish line if necessary

Wraith Lord:

There is no pause in the motion. It sprints towards you, the ground shattering with each lunging step, their blade at the ready!

Alex:

alright, i'm going to double Run - actually you know what i'm not even sure if you CAN "Run" if you're using a fly speed in the first place?

elfDM:

in terms of basic speed, the big ones are moving at speed 7, the smaler ones speed 6, but they're barrleing alogn so fast alex is pretyt sure they could just leap into the air and sail for miles. you're not sure you can outrun them

Istahar:

from what i understand, flying is just regular movement but with the ability to change height

elfDM:

what si your non fly speed

Istahar:

such that you can also shift or take other appropriate actions with it

Thyrn:

worse comes to worst i can try to tangle one of them up and then just book it after

Alex:

my speed is 6, and i can fly my speed+2 at will

Thyrn:

and not in a suicidal way too, i have some very strong outs

Alex:

so in effect i'm already "running". hoever i don't think i can run ON TOP of that to go 10

elfDM:

well run boosts your speedsurelt

elfDM:

no speed+2 isn't a run

Alex:

no, Run is an action wherein you move your speed +2

Pierrot:

i'm sad i don't have wakeman's invocation any longer

elfDM:

oh right

elfDM:

i thin youre' right

Alex:

so the question is, if you have a fly speed, can you Run... your fly speed?? no idea

elfDM:

soudsliek no since they both derive from speed

Alex:

yeah. so i should be 2 north

Alex:

so here's what i do. i TRIPLE move, by activating this:

Alex:

Timeless Locket : Minor, Personal   Effect: You take a standard action, which you cannot use to make an attack.

Alex:

all three actions fly 8 southwards

Alex:

there we are

Thyrn:

where is alex on init

Istahar:

he should be at the top

Alex:

oops, i had to cut paste to move my self over the gap there

Alex:

yeah i'm at the top

Alex has received initiative.

Dominique has received initiative.

elfDM:

dominiqueeee!!

Dominique:

boop me over to the other mapppppp

Alex:

Alex finds himself in the unenviable position of being the guy that everyone else has to outrun instead of the bear. Fortunately, he's got plenty of time, ahaha, to fix that problem. There's a rapid shift in the lower color scheme as well as a rapidly accelerating ticking sound, and suddenly the wizard's ahead of Pierrot and Dominique rather than behind them, apparently benefiting from a head start no one saw.

Hugo has received initiative.

Dominique:

I've finished my turn.

Hugo:

Speed Boost !!

Istahar has received initiative.

elfDM:

istaharrr

Istahar:

alright, i leap gracefully out of thyrn's arms

Istahar:

double move

Istahar:

boots of caiphon

Istahar:

Suffered 14 dmg. Lost 0 HP and 14 temp HP. HP: 164 / 164 + 13 temp. — Surges: 8 / 17 — APs: 0 — Daily Items: 4

Istahar:

I've finished my turn.

Hugo:

Hugo just *goes*. Uncharacteristically he seems unconcerned for his friends - maybe he just has enough faith in their abilities, but either way he is moving as fast as he can.

Istahar:

"Help the others! I can make it from here." She pats Thyrn on the shoulder as she rotates in his arms, suddenly springing with an unnatural grace as her wings unfurl

Dominique:

oh shit

Dominique:

pierrot

Istahar:

, letting her glide down the road to safety.

Pierrot:

I'm in a tight spot.

Thyrn:

Thyrn nods. "You are welcome."

Wraith Knight 1:

Pierrot canhear something in the distance. A hum like a distant bell. Then all the can see is light

Thyrn:

i might backtrack to help pierrot frankly, since those things are gonna get up on him

Wraith Knight 1:

Bright Lance    A split second discharge of raw focused power leaves a razor thin line across your vision, stretching from the tip of Knight's weapon to the erupting carnage where it strikes home.   Target: Pierrot  —     Rolled 51 vs. Reflex    —    56 Force and Radiant damage.   Hit: All non-wraithguard adjacent to the target take 20 Force and Radiant Damage. Miss: If the target is on the ground, overshoot them by 5 squares to find the taget square of an burst 1 area. All creatures in that burst take 20 Force and Radiant damage. Effect: Recoil: The Wraith Knight must rotate their momentum marker one step away from the direction of the attack.

Hugo:

hes dead, just keep going

Thyrn:

AlPiThy is a blood bond. I will not let the Warforged take him.

elfDM:

Istahar:

Dominique:

Dominique:

Strong

Wraith Lord:

Charging

Hugo:

rip

Pierrot:

ME, A PERSON WHO IS CALM: I am calm.

Wraith Lord:

The Bridge shatters under the advance of the towering entity, a deep metalic drone echoes around it as the blade rises high-

Thyrn:

Please dodge.

Wraith Lord:

Power Sword    This massive blade seethes and rumbles with destructive energies calibrated to unleash waves of ruin and wrath.   Target: Pierrot  —     Rolled 39 vs. AC    —    48 Force and Thunder damage.   Hit: The target is pushed 3 to end outside of weapon range. Miss: The target must shift 3 outside of weapon range or suffer half damage.

Istahar:

whEW!!!

Wraith Lord:

oh wait.. you are granting ca. . .

Pierrot:

It takes 5 damage for coming within 3 squares of me.

Wraith Lord:

that's a 41

Thyrn:

NO!

Suffered 5 dmg.
HP: 1195 / 1200 — Surges: 3 / 3 — APs: 2

Pierrot:

FORTUNATELY i used a teleportation power on my last turn AND moved at least 3 squares

Pierrot:

my ac is 42 and i have concealment

Thyrn:

aww yea warlock

elfDM:

unless you have conc- argh!

elfDM:

ok not ethe miss power tho

Istahar:

shift down 3 so thyrn can run in and hero save you

Pierrot:

is 'down 3' a legitimate shift?

elfDM:

yup

elfDM:

as long as it gets you out f their reach, if possible

elfDM:

which it does

Pierrot:

ok

Thyrn has received initiative.

elfDM:

Thyrnnn

Pierrot:

also, im having REAL trouble clicking my mouse, lol

Thyrn:

running over, picking up pierrot, and then running is quite amusing conceptually, and probably the superior move here

Thyrn:

I'd have to double run again and I'd end up in the same spot I am now.. hmm

Thyrn:

there's little use in me just escaping right now frankly, so let's go back

Thyrn:

wait, can I do that with 13..

elfDM:

it costs no movement to move betwene aps

Thyrn:

well I successfully don't even know where I started from

elfDM:

altho there is an abstracted distance

Pierrot:

It doesn't look like Pierrot can possibly stand up to the humming, smooth monstrosity's blade. As he parries its humongous sword it knocks him head over heels.

Istahar:

you were one south and one east of where dominique is standing right now, iirc

Alex:

if it costs no movement i should be one more square south, as i treated it as a one square step

Thyrn:

so if the gap counts as zero or one square I think I'm set

elfDM:

anythign else from thyrn?

Pierrot:

Although, really, "monstrosity" is a bigoted and inaccurate term.

Thyrn:

well, if this is a valid move then I'm going to scoop my boy Pierrot up and then run back

elfDM:

yeah i am wathcing my terms because these things are the ultimate in smooth

elfDM:

tou acro to grab him as a minor

Thyrn:

« 1d20+27 = 17 + 27 = 44 »« 1d20+27 = 15 + 27 = 42 » Athletics to Grab my Guy

elfDM:

anotehr 17, success!

Thyrn:

It knocks Pierrot head over heels.. and into Thyrn's waiting arms, who unceremoniously scoops him up on the run. He flings gravel and sod at the Wraith Lord as he brings himself to a stop and immediately resumes running back south.

elfDM:

all done for thyrn?

Pierrot:

"Thank you."

Thyrn:

yes

Thyrn:

I've finished my turn.

Behind you, you can see the towers of the alchemy complex collapse as the wild hunt charges deirectly through the ancient structure, shattering it to rubble.

Pierrot has received initiative.

elfDM:

pierottt

Thyrn:

"I imagine you would do the same for me, now let us get out of this damn place!"

Pierrot:

Well I'm gonna go ahead and take a DOuble Move

Pierrot:

unless i have to spend some sort of action to get down from thyrn's warm embrgace

Istahar:

that's baked into the move action

Istahar:

so you can just Move

Pierrot:

SORRY

Pierrot:

SORRY THYRN. i told you im having troublke clicking the mouse

elfDM:

i assume it was more of a heroic arm under arm bro-stumble anyway

Thyrn:

lol

Istahar:

sorry. sorry. i'm trying to undo the move action now

Thyrn:

Whatever it was, it definitely felt like being rescued by a teddy bear.

Pierrot:

alright that's a double move, and it felt Very epic and comradely.

elfDM:

pierrot all done?

Pierrot:

yes

Pierrot:

"I DID WARN EVERYONE, BY THE WAY."

Alex has received initiative.

elfDM:

Thyrn:

"I will bring up the rear, just keep moving."

Modifying the fog-of-war manually without a server running affects only the global exposed area (i.e. the entire map), even
if one or more tokens are selected. If you want your changes to apply to individual tokens, start a MapTool server with
Individual Fog enabled (you can leave the Alias field empty to make an anonymous server, if you wish).

This warning will not appear again for this campaign.

Hugo:

"On it."

elfDM:

?

Alex:

"We're fine. We're fine. We're fine. We're-" Alex's voice is dopplering.

Alex:

Wraith Knight 1:
