[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

[GM Marvel]

It makes 5 attacks of opportunity.. Combat Reflexes?

[OoC: That's how people usually get multiple AoO.    ]

Ning hurls his small sack of flour

[OoC2: Ning drank a potion this round so his flour throwing will have to start next round.

FYI: I've posted rules on using flour to tag invisible creatures in the Game Rules section.  I've also posted them here for convenience.]

When Selina strode across the deck to meet the Invisible stalker in combat, her little doggo scurries after her.  During her swordplay the dog growls menacingly at the Stalker from behind one of the priest's legs.  

Betimi decides then to take her shot and luckily scores a hit!  The Stalker howls with rage.  It bellows says something in some strange language that gets lost in the gusts of wind rushing around everyone.

The remaining guards charge after Selina.  Only one of the Guards (5) that reaches the creature can attack and while his attack appeared impressive the monster's invisibly foils his attempt.  [Elementals can't be critically hit anyways]   One of the remaining guards decides to stay back to administer first aid to his Sergeant, and fails horribly [Rolled a 1] the others take up positions around the creature. [Double moves]

Nacesh must wait to use his wand of magic missiles until he can see something to target. [M.M. can't be used to target anything with total cover or concealment.]  So he delays...

Round 7

The Stalker takes Selina up on her challenge and attacks her.  The first attack comes down on Selina like bag of hammers. [Critical and Confirmed!   ]  She feels her legs nearly give out but once again something absorbs much of the damage.  [Instead of 21 damage, Selina takes 9 damage!]  Selina can vaguely see that the Stalker is shocked.  It growls loudly and comes down with another blow but this time Selina feels its fist smash into her shoulder full force. [8 damage.]  

The Mephits continue their assault.  Mephit8 moves around behind the ship and gleefully breathes [6 damage] on the dying Sergeant (1); Guard4; and Tomeal.  [ALL FAIL!   ]

Mephit2 swings around and breaths on Simon; Guard4; Kee; and the Captain. [All take 1pt of damage] [Minimum damage]

Forge runs over and attacks Mephit8.  He hacks through the Imp's Damage reduction, inflicting major damage. [11pts after DR]  The Imp wails in pain.  Cursing, " Owwwww!  I shouldn't have flew in so close!!"

Kee uses a move action to reach down to the lower level and cures Ning. [9pts returned] [Burns Shield of Faith] [Ning is at full health]

Tomeal takes a chance and fires a bolt into melee.  The bolt easily avoids Forge and slams into Mephit8.  The Imp screams, "Whyyyyyy Meeeeeeee...." as it falls out of the sky!  [Rolled 27; Firing into melee -4 =23; Hit!; Damage 7]

Simon then launches a small bottle at the Stalker.  Selina sees the bottle hit the creature right between it's glowing eyes.  **BOOM**  The explosion rocks the creature as the rest of you shield your eyes from the pyrotechnics. [True Strike+20 to hit.  Ignore miss chances.  [Attack: 45; Damage: 22]  [The Creature was also 5' in the air and the creature is 10' so the explosion happened 15' above everyone's heads so they avoid the 5' radius splash damage.]

Simon fist pumps and yells, "YESS!!!"

Nang delays...

Ning hits the creature with the bag of flour, covering it with a fine powder.  [Miss chances are now down to 20%]

Nacesh unleashes his Magic Missiles!!  Pop! Pop! Pop! [11pts total]  

Now everyone else goes!!!

If you haven't attacked the Stalker yet, after Selina did 'Leading the Attack,' then you still get the +4 morale bonus and +1 for Dark Knowledge.  If you have then you get +1 Morale bonus from Bless and +1 bonus for Dark Knowledge.  You only get bonus from 'Leading the Attack' once.
