Margorach unleashes a volley of shadowy darts that embed into Count Chocula, one going right through his temple and out the other side!
Count Chocula is GIBBED!
Count Chocula respawns in location 1, conspiracies of "Vaffle House" in his mind before attempting to exact his revenge upon Margorach, but misses!

Shazi is unconscious
Umbra is bloodied
Margorach is unconscious
Frankenberry is unconscious
Lucky flies up and follows up with another barrage of High Explosive death, sacrificing his teammate, Frankenberry, in the process. As rainbows emanate from him, the sugary goodness of his marshmallow charms sears away at Umbra.

Umbra is GIBBED
Margorach is GIBBED
Frankenberry is GIBBED
Frankenberry respawns in location 3 and takes Total Defense.
Damakos wipes the blood of his brow, and unleashes another rock ballad which brings both Lucky and Booberry to their knees.

  2. Umbra steps lightly off the spawn point and Casts off a surge of primal energy that invigorates her allies before cloaking herself in darkness once again.

    Tech:
    Spawn to J11 and shift to K11.
    Healing Spirit Close burst 5. Shazi may spend a healing surge. No bonus healing for anyone because my spirit animal is not in play.
    Evoke Cloud of Darkness.

    Happy Birthday, Frank! Blow out those incoming candles, would ya?

    *glances at board* OMG, it's full of zones! Honestly, I haven't been able the keep track of anything this round. Is anyone else overwhelmed by the sheer number of effects in play?

  3. OOC: Now that I'm conscious again, am I still invisible due to Gloom Thief?

  4. A crossbow bolt seems to materialize out of thin air and race towards the count. Footsteps could be heard across the platform as Shazi appears at the far end, cursing under her own breath.

    Tech:

    NOTE: Still invisible due to Gloom Thief, so no OAs for me.

    Standard: Probing Strike w/ crossbow vs Count
    Attack: +10 (+8 base, +2 CA) vs AC
    Hit: 1d8 +6 +2d6(SA) damage, and I gain a +1 bonus to next attack made against him before EONT.
    NOTE: For the record, my hand crossbow is a "high crit" weapon, and in addition to that deals +1d8 on a crit (shadow wrought weapon).

    Move: Try to move to H6, avoiding the two Phantom Chasms. This will mean hopping in and out of the 2nd cart, but I assume it's going nowhere.
    If for some reason I can't get all the way there, I'll stay where I'm at.

    Minor/Free/Whatever: Switch tracks South

    Free: Complain how I wish I still had Cloud of Darkness.

    NOTE: No longer invisible.

  12. In a burst of chocolatey goodness, the Count re-appears next to Margorach. "I am begining to suspect you vere sent by those bastards at the vaffle house. But know now, you vill never replace us for breakfast!" With a growl he lashes out at Margorach, pushing her into the teleportation square behind her.

  22. Lucky shoots out of the minecart towards the platform, with the barrel close behind, suspended by hundreds of tiny marshmallow red balloons and shooting stars! With a flick of his wrist, he directs the barrel right into the same fiery maelstrom Booberry created.

    Lucky crosses himself and says a silent prayer for Frankenberry. (an Irish Catholic creature of myth? why not?) Before the smoke has time to clear, Lucky empties his bright red box in the immediate area, and exploding whole grain bits of cereal fly out in a radial pattern!

  24. Ah, I got Margorach and Damakos confused. Hey, this works though.

    I'm imagining lots of "splortchy" gibby noises coming from inside that cloak of darkness.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Frankenberry spawns on location (3) and takes Total Defense.

    ReplyDelete
  26. ExtendedRest reminded me that Damakos has fire resist (tiefling derp!)

    Between the two barrels, he would be 10HP higher
    Damakos is bloodied at 9HP

  27. This post is best read with the following link.

    Damakos shakes his head solemnly. He looks up at his two cart riding foes and gestures at their carts. His mouth opens and a mournful sound rises in his throat.

    "It was a relic of another time
    plundered from an ancient tomb
    wrought by forgotten arts
    inscribed with cryptic runes

    They called us fierce marauders
    Warp riders and guns for hire
    before the sky cried tears of fire."


    He continues to sing as he steps closer to the controls of the carts. Bolstered by his song.

    "Looking out across the void
    we beheld a fearsome sight
    Two armadas arrayed before us
    preparing to unleash their might

    The Lady kept her promise
    We heard the sound of a cosmic choir
    the night the sky cried tears of fire."


    When he gets to the part of his song about the cosmic choir, he strums the air in front of him with gusto and a lance of sound lashes out at the little magical leprechaun.

    "This is the hour of the Phoenix
    when all must be reborn in flame
    and though they did not know it
    nothing could remain the same

    The captain has his vengeance
    as we drift through a sea of pyres
    The stars will always remember
    when the sky cried tears of fire."


    He strums his arm again and a second lance fires out at the ghostly creature as well.

    Damakos turns and stands his back to them all, not even looking to see if they fall and a single tear burns down his face.

  29. Shouldn't Lucky have a +5 bonus to that saving throw from the Safeguards map feature?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Yes, forgot my safeguards, Thank you. (7)+5= 12 would keep him on the platform

    There was a way to push Lucky off with 2 squares, but specific squares were not declared.

    Lucky is prone in L9
