[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

[Betimi]

[OoC: Sorry for the delay, I've been a bit under the weather.]

[OoC2: Betimi, there is only 1 place you can move to to avoid an AOO and that's J-5.  Everywhere else is within their reach.  So I'm going to assume that's where you want to move.]

It was a 5 foot step to H3 from I4,  5 foot steps do not provoke attacks of opportunity.  Again she is stepping INTO merlee not out of it.
J5 would be out of melee , and NOT where she weants to go.

She is deliberately moving closer, not further away.

[Ning/Nang: Primal Instinct: +5 initiative and survival checks; Primal Senses: +5 on Listen/Spot and Low light vision; Uncanny dodge as barbarian.  Protection from Chaos: +5 on Torque CL checks.]
[Simon:  Blur effect.  20% miss chance.]
[Selina: +1 Morale bonus on attacks]
[Sun Elemental: AC:18; HP's: 44/ 48; Attack: +6; Damage: 2d6+1]
[Vanguard Strike: Everyone gains a +4 bonus on ranged and melee attacks against that target until the start of Selina's next turn.]
[Island of Blades: If both you and an ally are adjacent to the same creature, the two of you gain the benefit for flanking that opponent. You can gain this benefit against multiple opponents at the same time, as can your allies. If both you and an ally are adjacent to the same two creatures, the two of you gain the benefit of flanking against both creatures. ]

The lights from the cave behind the creatures intensify and suddenly thick bolts of black lighting blasts from the opening.  The bolts electrify both creatures, Selina, Tomeal, Betimi and the elemental!  Both creatures seem suddenly reinvigorated and healed!!  After it discharges the dancing lights within the cave dim.

Lightning damage: [5d8]=30; Save DC: 16 for half

Elemental: Reflex Save: [1d20+7]=3+7=10; Failed; 30 damage; 44/48 hit points (almost dead)
Tomeal reflex save: [1d20+7]=11+7=18; Succeeded; 15 damage

Betimi steps back out of reach of the creatures...  [After seeing what lightning does to the creatures does Betimi still want to use her Stormstalk?]

When she gets to H3 she will attack the Purple creature with her light mace, knowing her spear will be ineffectual.  No one has tried blunt weapons yet.. maybe..
She continues to attack defensively, so the -4 penalty and the +4 bonus balance out.  

light mace [1d20+6]=8+6=14; Damage [1d6]=1 +2 to hit for flanking = 16
