2.4 The Ice fights Back!

[harknail]

Once of the Ice Warriors charges down the stairs. His original target (Zynthis) is gone, so he charges whatever he can reach (Zachary). Fortunately, the pounding of icy feet down the stairs alerted Zachary to the attack from behind and he easily avoided the icy mace.

Map (will be updated as the turn progresses):

SPOILER: Click to show

The light blue (cyan) are the ones that make javelins. The armored ones are medium blue, the dark blue one hasn't been seen yet. Targets at the edge of the opening have cover from below. Those not at the edge are probably not visible from below (some exceptions may apply).

Initiative rolls please (except for Zynthis)

Yes, everyone within 10 squares of Gabe who can see and hear him gets +2.

Where's Laira? Haven't heard from him (Michael) in a while.

Harknail Initiative:[dice=20]+2+2=15

Laira Inititive: [dice=20]+1+2=8

Sart and the Hexer won't be moving before the ice men do anyway, so they don't need init rolls.[rand=5209572128951559704040889628232317014939384534965653760933782905]

Final initiative order:

16 Zynthis
15 Harknail
15 Bharash
10 Sanem
9 Zachary
8 Laira
5 Ice Warriors
5 Thursagan
5 Gabe
1 Hexer
1 Sart

Tag Zynthis, Harknail, Bharash, Sanem, Zachary, and Laira. Sorry Gabe and Thursagan, the icemen won the tie breaker (highest init mod).

I tacked a little vertical line of sight chart below the maps so that you can get an idea of what your character can see. As best as I can tell, Sanem can see #8 but not #1. No one else can see any of the ice warriors upstairs that aren't right at the edge.

[Ogremind]

Zachary will shift back to F3, and see how vulnerable these things are to fire. Given how many characters will be attacking the one that just took a swing at me, I don't think it will be getting a second chance.
Scorching Burst on F28:

Not so hot. Fortunately, they don't have cover from the origin of the burst, which is all that matters.

If possible Zynthis would like to flank Blue 5 from stairway D6 by jumping from E7 to D6 (athletics). If not, Zynthis will just move to E6 to attack (unless the failed maneuver would end my turn).

Scorching Burst on F28:

The closer one with the ice spears dodged out of the burst, but the barely seen one against the wall wasn't so luckly. Zachary can't tell for sure if they are vulnerable to fire, this one still isn't bloodied, but they are definitely not resistant to it!

Missed #2, hit #6

That would be a high jump with a target heigh of 2 1/2 feet. DC 25 for a standing jump, DC 12 for a running jump (if you move two squares first). Failure would leave Zynthis prone. Which square would depend on how much he missed by. (I once missed clearing one of those concrete things while carrying in a big box of game stuff. It was painful.)

But since flanking isn't possible because Zachary retreated, I'm sending him to the safer E6 instead. The Righteous Brand hit.

Harknail issues a Divine Challenge to the Ice Warrior on the first floor (#5), then moves up (to F6) and attacks with Holy Strike.

Sanem will send Persephone forward to D7 under the stairs, and then hunters marks #7 [with ups and diagonals she should be 2 squares away from all targets making it eligible].

Sanem then shoots off 2 arrows:

#7 is the one of the closest visible targets to Sanem, so he can select #7 as his quarry even without Persephone's help. I'll leave it up to you if you still haver her fly under the stairs or not.

The Ice Warrior dodged the first arrow, which set him up to be nailed solidly by the second.

I moved the quarry damage to the second arrow

I didn't realize there was a new thread. I was waiting for new posts on the previous one.
