Okay, I can't seem to get any witty Paul Simon reference (though there are 50 ways to love your loser as well). Teurama's OA: (13)+2=15 vs. 15 HIT. Damage (3)+2=5 so Elle's at 3 temporary hit points (12 regular still). The attack on Marduk (1)+5=6 vs. 17 HUMILIATION. Elle is prone.
Hey, guys, just askin'...does this hair go with this dress? I feel like the hair is kinda busy. You there, you big manly man? Come on over and give me a look....
Tech: Move to G14 (I am immune to OA via Charioteer) Minor to curse Budd Standard to Eldritch Blast at Budd: +6 + 2 (flank) vs ref of 15, 1d10 + 5 + 1d6 (curse) damage. Heroic Effort if I miss since it did not go off last time.
You know it's funny, I think overall Kurt's dice have been pretty good to me. Natural 1 to Chast just now, dual critical decapitations against Team Kill Ross (execution axe and vorpal trap) ...
Black Mamba saunters back from the dead once again, shaking her head as she walks up to Kotaresh.
"Nothing personal, Budd."
[tech] Spawn: 2 Card: No. Move: G11 Standard: Tempest Breath: +7 vs Ref on Kotaresh, Euryale and Sidewinder, though I've been informed by James that I'm apparently at -5 to hit him. On hit, 2d6+10 acid damage and the target can't gain CA until the end of my next turn and I gain concealment until the end of my next turn. Action Point: Burning Spray: +7 vs Ref on K, E, S, same thing. On hit, 1d8+10 fire damage and the next enemy to hit me with a melee attack before the end of my next turn takes 4 fire damage. If either attack misses Sidewinder I will use the Vorpal weapon's encounter power to add 1d12 to the damage, if both miss him and one hits both K and E I'll use it on that one.
Morning breath after being asleep for years can kill... Someone give Black Mamba a breath mint. Tempest Breath: Kotaresh: (10)+7=17 vs. 15 hit Euryale: (5)+7=12 vs. 12 hit Budd: (5)+7-5=7 vs. 15 miss Black Mamba uses the vorpal weapon power on this for an extra d12 for a total of (6)+(5)+10+(1)=22 (okay d12, do you want an acid bath, that's your second 1 on vorpal weapon). Kotaresh is at 0 hp, Euryale is at 10 hp. Burning Spray: Kotaresh: (15)+7=22 vs. 15-5=10 hit. Euryale: (10)+7=17 vs. 12 hit. Budd: (18)+7-5=20 vs. 15 hit. The damage is (2)+10=12 so Kotaresh is gibbed at -12, Euryale is dying at -2 and Sidewinder is at 1 hp. Black Mamba is on a KILLING SPREE!!!
Cottonmouth looks the golem in the eyes and... (15)... turns to just walk away.
The shouts of fury and rage are music to O-Ren's ears. She gracefully swings around the pillar and charges teurama. A Ross in any form is still a Ross, and must be slaughtered!
Tech: Minor: assume the aspect of the cunning fox. Move: to F15, seeing that Euryale is KO'd. Std: charge Teurama, +12 vs AC...1d8+5 and add1d8 from power strike (still haven't used it!!!!) If I hit, dual weapon attack as a free action: +8 vs AC, 1d6+5.
Free action from aspect of the cunning fox to shift back two sq to F15, there missing out on Ross's cold dead hands.
O-Ren charges Teurama: (9)+12=21 vs. 15 hit. For (5)+5+(8)+(1, vorpal why have you failed me)=19 which take Teurama down to -7. Then the second weapon: (14)+8=22 vs. 15-5=10 HIT. for (6)+5=11 taking Teurama down to -18 hp gibbing him. Team KILL ROSS! has yet again KILLED ROSS.
Sidewinder starts his turn with a single hit point.
Too bad that's not an option, huh? So... one of my teammates was suggesting a course of action that just wasn't deadly enough for me. Not sayin' who, but Second Wind? I think you guys can take me out as easily at 8 HP as at 1.
So. They. Call. This. Death. Match.
[Tech] Move: to F-18 Standard: Thundering Burst on CA Mtn Snake and Marduk Effect: CMS gains +1 power bonus to AC until the end of my next turn. Attack: +5 vs Marduk's Fort 13 Hit: 5d8+5 thunder damage (nowhere to push)
The Thundering Burst goes off. (8)+5=13 vs. 13 hit. Damage of (1)+(7)+(6)+(7)+(4)+5=30 leaving Marduk slammed against the wall at -12 hp (but not quite dead, yet). Elle get's here +1 AC.
And then Marduk self-gibs and is quite dead now. You're down by 3, doesn't the deck look tempting now?
Aw geez. Uh, yeah, it's the Artificer At-will, "Thundering Armor"
Like most Artificer tricks, it does something hit or miss (+1 AC), then is weird and wonky with targeting. 'Cause why not use an epic tier swordmage power?
Marduk spawns at square 1 and boldly swings at Elle. +6 vs. ac 1d8+7
On a hit ambush trick to walk to d17 and return to the teleporter appearing at 2 and continuing my move to F8 where I will AP charge Black Mamba with cunning sneak for +14 vs ac 3d8+3d6+7 (with furious assault).
On a miss on my initial attack, unbalancing trick to D17 where I will melee basic Elle +8 vs AC 2d8+7 (with furious assault) and on a hit she is prone.
Elle gets cover for being attacked around the corner (and thus only +6). (14)+6=20 vs. 16. Hit for (7)+7=14 leaving California Mountain Snake at -9 hp.
Then jumping through a portal Marduk sneaks up on Black Manba and charges. I assume that you use Backstab to the the +14 attack roll and the extra 1d6. The attack (16)+14=30 vs. 14... I guess you could consider that a hit. The damage is (4)+(5)+(2)+(4)+(4)+(5)+7=31 leaving Black Mamba at -8. MARDUK IS ON A KILLING SPREE.
Teurama boldly draws the Witch... does anyone have an ongoing effect... I want to see a frog in this game.
A ballsy move, one full of courage and sacrifice as I sacrifice my own personal glory by not taking an attack so as to lead my teammmates into a momentous crescendo of violence and a second Killing Spree!
Start at Location #4 Double run to setup a flank on O-Ren and grab the Golem's attention by being in square G-17. Cast a prayer: Oath of Enmity, on O-Ren, ready to divinely guide Kotaresh's next attack.
Kotaresh! Step over Elle who is spazzing out on the floor looking for her eyeball, get Euryale back in the game, and FUCKING WRECK HOUSE!!!!!
Well not much for me to do. Teurama does exactly what Ross posted.
Kotaresh boldly draws the Hierophant card... every respawn he gains a randome magic item card... but there's only a Lich card left so looks like Kotaresh is a lich now (unless I'm reading the Hierophant wrong).
Straight from the map designer, the card refers to the E1M1 magic item card deck. Kotaresh is not a lich, he has the Chaos Devise, he can as a minor action be teleported to a random spawn point.
A voice can be heard echoing on the wind. "Pai Mei taught you the five point palm-exploding heart technique?" "Of course he did," Kotaresh replies.
Spawn: At 1, dance to E17, squishing CMS' eyeball between his toes. Standard: Crane's Wings to O-Ren. +8 vs Fort (because of flanking, plus some more from Teurama). 1d10+6 (because of bloodied). If it is necessary to use Furious Assault to finish her off, I do. On a hit, Flurry of Blows on Sidewinder for an 8 auto-gib.
I will take the rest of my turn when this resolves.
Seeing Kotaresh slip Teurama uses divine guidance and Kotaresh gets another attempt (without falling on his ass). (10)+8=18 vs. 13 hit. O-Ren takes (5)+6=11 hp taking her to 0 hp. Sidewinder takes 8 points of damage leaving him at -7. Kotaresh is on a KILLING SPREE!!!!
So all of team Kill Ross! is on the floor like the Crazy 88, so what do you do with the rest of your turn.
With the possibility of seeing you humiliated (or anyone for that matter), of course I want to roll it. (7)+5=12 vs. 16-5=11 hit for (1) damage, making O-Ren officially dying.
The Iron Golem is 2 spaces away from both Euryale and Teurama, but he can't hit both with his vomit, so evens he attack Euryale odds he attacks Teurama. (2) he attacks Euryale. (7)+6=13 vs. 14 miss.
There must be 50 ways to lose your lover.

And then Marduk self-gibs and is quite dead now. You're down by 3, doesn't the deck look tempting now?
