Rock surveys the scenery briefly.

Then surveys it again. And again, for good measure.

Finally he looks at his allies. Allies, because they fight for the same cause. Not that he actually likes hanging out with these people. What was up with that goat head, anyway?!

And that useless whatcha-ma-call it from la résistance turned tail faster than he'd ever seen a Longtooth pup run.

Of course, he'd also run. Che, like some kind of coward.

"I still say we should've beaten the snobby bastards down one by one," Rock complains, aiming his words at no one in particular.

Nature : Upon a closer inspection of the clearing, you find several sets of tracks clearly imprinted into the ground, though you can't tell if they came from one creature or several. What you do know is the tracks are very large, possibly created by some kind of wild animal.

"It's not my business if you want to die so badly," Walala jabs back, sighing. For a minute, she thinks it'd be nice if she could make facial expressions, so she forms a smiling face out of the shards on her chest. ... Okay, that might be a litle creepy, she thinks to herself, and banishes the horrid monstrosity back into the shape of bazongas. She paces around in a circle around the group, searching for any targets of telepathy or sounds of rustling in the bushes. She occasionally peers into one, using her EYESLITLIGHTS to illuminate the area.

Perception : There is nothing out there that you are able to detect.

"Better die fightin' a great battle'n die in some stupid for'st," Rock retorts.

He watches the Shardmind's movements with crossed arms, pondering whether to try and aggravate the thing (Shardminds were capable of emotions? He'd never heard of it) or assist it in its efforts.

"Besides, there's something here, too," he finally decides to say, gesturing at the tracks of whatever creature passed through here. How anyone could miss tracks so large was beyond him, but then, he'd had to spend conscious effort to look, too, so who knows. "Die at the hands of known foes, taking some with us and at least accomplishing some kinda victory s'better than getting raunched to death by whatever stupid beast lives here."

Is raunched even a word?

Not caring all that much for the scenery around him, Fays merely chuckles to himself.

"Well well my ragtag group of comrades, look at the situation we've gotten ourselves into. Might as well look around while we have some light."

Perception check: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3160865/

>>132
Spoiler : From the east, you can smell something burning. Looking above the treetops, your close scrutiny reveals an almost invisible plume of smoke less than fifty feet from your location.

Covered in her hood and mask obscuring most of her face except her eyes, ears, nose, and a tad bit of her hair, Lia can only sigh silently to herself at some of the "allies" she had been working with. For the most part she had not really been given a choice, given what they've gotten themselves into.

The Dwarf seemed honorable and trustworthy enough, religious as she may be.

The Barbarian seemed unruly, oft as most are, though the Longtooth was one of the few she's met of them in her life. He seemed to be in too much of a rush to die.

The Shardmind was still strange and unusual to her, this being the first that she has met. It also seemed way too amused with Alchemy and fire. Oh well. As long as she's not burning down forests and stuff without regard for it, it's fine, but the Telepathy is both helpful and annoying. The only voice she'd rather hear in her head is her own.

The Tiefling was something she also wasn't familiar with as well, and he seemed a bit high of himself, but maybe most Tieflings are that way. He seemed pretty helpful with his songs either way.

That left the Human. The enigma behind a Goat helmet. Hard to gather a good idea of motives, but helpful enough so far.

When she met some of them, she absentmindedly caught herself overobserving the Longtooth, trying to poke at the Shardmind's crystals and whatnot, curious to their purpose or their worth, as she used to be a trader, and the Tiefling, with his horns and tail, looking like some devil. She learned that not all of them are evil and that they are like this because of their ancestors, but that was mostly through stories...

Anyway, enough of that. Back to the present.

Lia can't help but glare at the Barbarian's comment about the woods (but not enough for him to notice!), and roll her eyes slightly at the Tiefling's comment. Sure, she had been used to woods like this but you'd think some of these allies had been far too pampered all their life.

She quickly makes herself of some use and equips her crossbow again and scans the area, checking to see if anyone else had missed anything thusfar.

Nature : You know what Rock already knows. In addition, you believe that this clearing was actually due to the creature itself crushing the foliage.

By now, everybody can see the smoke from the east, as it seems to have grown in intensity. What's more, it seems to be moving closer.

>>136
Lia takes a quick moment to write on part of a piece of paper on her, tear it off, and hand the information to Rock. Assuming he can read that is...

Walala notices Lia writing on a piece of paper and telepathically inquires.

>>138
Annoyed at the intrusion of her mind, even if it is merely telepathic voice, she points to the paper, implying if she is interested, read it herself or wait for Rock to read it.

Rock briefly interrupts his own thoughts of provoking the others more because they're not responding to take the paper.

Feh, none of them have any hot-blood! They're a buncha cowards, and boring to boot.

Fighting alongside them's just not going to be as fun.

"S'okay, wh'ever monster made th'clearing here's done smashed its way in, or something," he says after reading, before turning to the smoke. "Also, I think we've company from one a'em monsters that's prob'ly going to tear us limp to limp."

At least with humanoids, you know what the hell you're dealing with.

Grab Gouge.

Kadol Stormbrew snaps her eyes open, still clutching her holy symbol tightly, having just finished a rather intense prayer to Moradin. As she rises from her kneeling position, she takes her staff into her hands, tying her hanging anvil-like holy symbol to the head of the staff. She looks around, noting the smoke, and addresses the other humanoids that had gathered before her--hard to find one that you could trust in this lot, but getting out of her alive seemed like a more pressing concern than prejudice at the moment. "Tha stupid beast ye mention'd could be a trap, set by our enemies." Kadol comments drying, fixing her gaze on the open path ahead. "A'any rate, I'm not much up for tryin' tae trudge throo a buncha thick trees. So if ye'd like tae get moving in tae tha clearin' ahead, that'd be great fer me." With these words, she takes a brief moment to survey the area.

"Wha's that s'posed to mean?!"

Rock just grins back. Oh, so that's what he meant.

"Damn straight! I'll send all those bastards to th'arms of the Raven Queen!"

Walala looks down, noticing the giant prints at last.
"It's big."
She flourishes her cloak, changing form slightly -- she now has improvised wrist razor shard-arms -- before drawing from her cloak four bolts (one in each finger-webbing-cavity) and her magic crossbow, each in a different hand.

Battle music~

As the adventurers finish preparations for battle, a section of the forest bursts into flames, the ground charred black. From out of the inferno emerges what looks like a masked warforged wearing some kind of full-body suit. The flames don't even bother it as it mumbles behind its mask, pointing to the adventurers and holding up its axe in challenge. And just beyond the cover of the trees seems to be something else, wielding a wicked hooked polearm.

From behind them, a sinister voice barks orders, "Excellent work. Send out a signal for the others promptly before engaging them, my eager friend."

"Well'en, s'not some kinda eldritch monster!" he cheers triumphantly. "Bipedal things I can handle."

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3161074/

Kadol reacts quickly, whirling in the direction of the warforged voice. Her gold-and-white robes billow and brush up against her long, braided auburn hair as she turns to face the approaching humanoids. "By tha Soul-Forger, they've found us! Git yer arses in gear, rabble!"

She does not move or speak.

"Ey, do ye see how many o'them thar be?" Kadol calls out.

Asking the first person to move up to give us some more detailed information on what they see.

Hide says he wishes to delay until after Rin.

Seizing the initiative, Kadol advances forth to get a better view of the situation ahead.

Move to M-5. Wait to take further action until I see what is revealed.

>>162
Kadol can clearly see that the Hellforged came with a group. Poised a few paces behind it are a pair of humans, presumably part of the "city watch" from Lyrabar. The pair wield halberds with wickedly sharp hooks that burn as if they'd been soaked in oil and set ablaze. There seems to be another figure hiding just out of sight behind them.

"Heed, miscreants!" Kadol shouts, electric energy gathering around her eyes and around the head of her staff. "If ye'll not show yeselves, ahll just let Moradin light ye up!"

Kadol raises her staff upwards, and the energy shoots towards the sky with a crack of thunder. Moments later, a salvo of thunderbolts descend upon the two closest enemies, twisting and leaping from foe to foe.

I use lightning's revelation, origin E-13. Hit deals 18 lightning damage and imposes a -4 defense penalty until the end of my next turn.
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3162093/

Kadol's divine lightning engulfs the area, though the Hellforged managed to avoid it entirely. The soldier, on the other hand, takes the full brunt of the attack and looking much less sturdy but no less dangerous.


Kadol Stormbrew's Lightning's Revelation misses the Hellforged Razer and hits City Watch Soldier 2 for 18 lightning damage and it takes a -4 penalty to all defenses until the end of her next turn.

During the moment in which Walala paused, she scanned the warforged razer.

Now, at this point...!
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3162174/ Arcana check etc

Arcana : The Hellforged Razer specializes in fire, and almost all its abilities deal more damage while the subject is burning. Vents of smoke erupt from its shoulders when it moves, granting it unparallelled freedom of mobility without fear of retribution.

Its momentum when it swings its battleaxe allows it to shift away effortlessly and disengage its attacker, and hurts burning enemies even more. On its arm is a device that quickly generates a large burst of flames that can engulf anyone careless enough to be caught in the blast, and it deals even more damage if the Razer has a flanking partner.

If it can't engage in close combat, the Razer will use a weak flare launcher to attack with and set its opponents ablaze, and it can also be fired high into the sky to act as a signal beacon. And finally, when it is attacked from range by a weapon projectile, it can potentially deflect the attack with a compressed air blast, sending it back at its source and with a fair chance of causing critical wounds if the errant bullet hits its source.

Lia can only glare angrily at the new foe who has burned so many trees to get to them. Before it tries to reach them, she tries to slow it down and get an idea of what the human guards in the back are capable of.

Lia fires her crossbow at the razer, who cannot react quickly enough to deflect the oncoming missile. The shot strikes it in the leg, hobbling its movements significantly. The hunter changes her stance and shifts closer to the enemy, analyzing the human soldiers.

Nature : City Watch Soldiers aren't known for playing fair, and they enjoy kicking enemies while they are down. Their flaming halberds can push targets away and knock them to their knees, or hurt them even more if they're already prone. Either way, it allows them to mark all creatures within their reach. They also have threatening reach, allowing them to make opportunity attacks against any enemies within two squares. If the enemy is marked when it tries to move within its reach, the soldier will trip them up and stop their escape cold, while those who would ignore its mark will quickly find themselves flat on their backs before the soldier slashes them with its deadly weapon. Finally, the soldier will viciously pummel an enemy that falls prone with its Spinebreaker attack, which hits hard and keeps an enemy from standing up.

The City Watch Soldier is a level 5 soldier, and its lightweight armor allows it to resist heat.

The source of the hissing voice from earlier finally moves into view, revealing a tiefling wielding a large crossbow with a sharp piece of metal on the end, and clad in light armor, who looks very displeased with the razer. "Shake it off, you piece of scrap metal!" he barks, prodding it harshly in the back with its bayonet. The hellforged twitches, but its companion's actions don't seem to have helped it any. The tiefling scowls and aims its crossbow at the dwarf, growling, "If you want something done," it begins, releasing a fiery bolt that hits the dwarf dead on, its enchantment making her feel particularly flammable, "You have to do it yourself! Now try and follow my example, you cretins!"

Walala, Lia : From the west, you hear the sound of heavy footsteps heading toward your location...

Lia's Clever Shot hits the Hellforged Razer for 20 damage, and it is slowed (save ends).
Lia changes her stance to Aspect of the Dancing Serpent and shifts to O-3 as a free action.

Rock advances onward, eager to see what's around the (river) bend.

Move: To I-8, wait to see what is exposed before further actions.

Rock moves forward to get a better look at the attackers. As far as he can tell, they came alone. All that can be seen behind them are the smoldering remains of the forest, likely torched by the razer.

"Ready or not, here I come!" With a roar, Rock charges forward, thrusting his gouge at the nearest enemy.

Lia attempts to discern what kind of threat the Tiefling may be.

>>187
Nature : You can't tell much, but you can guess that it uses the abilities of both a tiefling and a warlord, and that its crossbow attack deals fire damage while making its opponents more susceptible to fire attacks. It can probably grant saving throws and healing, and likely has an action point feature. Being a tiefling, it will probably lash out at the first creature that hits it.

Lia quickly jots down quickly what she's discerned so far, managing to somehow deliver it quickly to Kadol. What is included in the note is "Something big coming from west. Careful of Soldier's reach, resistance to fire, knock downs. Tiefling can heal others, will lash out at attack, you know rest. Please announce."

Walala walks up next to Lia, crossbow at the ready. A magical aura surrounds her, then diffuses violently when she makes her shot, enhancing Lia's weapon.

With a quick nod to the hunter, Kadol calls out, "Watch yeselves! Somethin' big approaches from tha west!" Kadol warns, looking back over her shoulder.

Yagi wastes no time in dropping the wounded soldier, who collapses to the ground in a heap after being hit by the knight's charge. But now the Hellforged Razer makes its move, lifting up its arm and spraying a burst of fire from its nozzle, engulfing everyone close by in flames that linger long after it stops. It raises its other arm towards the invoker and blasts a small ball of fire at her that sets her ablaze.

At the warlord's direction, the Razer charges Rock and its axe bites deep into the barbarian's skin, glowing and making his blood boil from the inside. But a timely intervention from Fays fends off the worse of the attack, and the Hellforged Razer propels itself back to where it was initially, holding its axe above its head and laughing triumphantly.

Trying to follow up on his companion's success, the remaining soldier moves up and makes a slashing motion at the injured shifter, but at the last second he deflects it off of his trusty gouge. Not one to be discouraged, the soldier follows up immediately with a feint, distracting both Yagi and Rock.

Now begins Round 2.

Yagi charges the soldier, hitting it for 17 damage and killing it
The Hellforged Razer uses Flamethrower, hitting Rock, Yagi, and the horse for 10 fire damage and ongoing 5 fire damage (save ends)
The Hellforged Razer fires its Flare Gun at Kadol, which hits for 5 fire damage, which becomes 7 due to vulnerability and ongoing 5 fire damage (save ends). Kadol is now bloodied
The Hellforged Razer spends an action point! The warlord's Warlord's Presence trait grants it an additional 4 damage to an attack made with the action point
The Hellforged Razer charges Rock with its Extinguishing Battleaxe, which hits Rock for 19 damage (allowing the razor to shift 1 square), plus 8 extra damage for hitting an opponent that's taking ongoing fire damage, and 4 damage from the warlord's trait. Fays uses Chord of Resilience to reduce the damage by 10, bringing the attack to 21 damage. Rock is now bloodied
Hellforged Razer shifts to E-12
Hellborn Razer fails its saving throw
City Watch Soldier 1 moves to E-11 and attacks Rock with its Flaming Halberd but misses. Rock, Yagi, and the horse are all marked until the end of the soldier's next turn

Rather enraged about being set aflame, Kadol growls loudly, "ENOUGH! If ye'll show this heresy 'fore a prophet of Moradin, I'll show ye some righteous wrath in turn!"

Gesturing through burning robes, Kadol raises her staff and grasps it with both hands, chanting a prayer while looking upwards. The sky above seems to darken briefly, as if all the light was being sucked out of it--until it becomes clear where it is being drawn to. A shimmering orb of light descends from between the clouds, about the size of a tall dwarf or short human, and slowly begins to fall towards the ground. As it draws closer, it gains speed, approaching terminal velocity just before smashing directly into the space where the fire-wielding construct stands. "BEGONE!" the invoker cries, as the sphere explodes with a brilliant flash, sending white ribbons of fire-like energy in every direction. Despite the radiant energy washing over all of the gathered humanoids, only those closest to the blast area feel the effects--the clustered foes of the invoker.

Kadol lowers her staff and nods in satisfaction, taking her staff into one hand and grasping her amulet in the other as she advances forward, closer to the fray. As she does so, the amulet shimmers, and she draws in a deep breath, feeling vitality return to her scorched body.

Lia, feeling more comfortable in the woods, moves a little closer, at slight risk of whatever big thing is coming through, and fires at the warforged again before slinking back into the woodsy area to sneak out of sight. She tries to listen as to what the large creature might be.

Lia's arrow finds its mark on the hapless Hellforged, who looks completely out of the fight despite being barely injured. The hunter shifts out of sight and blends in with her surroundings, listening for the approaching beast.

Perception : Whatever's approaching is really big, and it's almost on top of you already. From the sound of things, it's not even slowed down by the thick forest surrounding it.

"Accursed heathens!" barks the warlord, "You'll pay for this!" His threat would carry more weight if he wasn't currently blinded, but he murmurs in a low whisper to the Razer (or in its general direction) and the Hellforged repairs a small portion of its damage. The tiefling tries to skewer the longtooth shifter on the end of its bayonet, but Rock steps out of the way at the last second.

The sound of falling trees grows closer until a massive figure streaks by Lia without pause and attempts to flatten Walala. The artificer manages to avoid the worst of it, but looks a little unsteady on her feet. Beating its chest, the giant apelike monstrosity hits her with a savage blow, following up by trying to grab her in its huge hand. Walala just barely avoids it and the retaliatory attack, but make no mistake, she's in very bad shape right now.

"...what in tha name of tha Soul-Forger is that?" Kadol comments, apparently rather unmoved.

Religion (20) http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3165324/

Not to much concerned for the ruckus the giant monkey is causing behind him (it's only a monkey after all) but more concerned as to his allies condition, Fays calls out to Walala.

"Never fear my rigid bodied companion, help is here!"

Free action: Virtue of Cunning
Slide Walala to N7.

>>260
Religion : The Young Infernal Berserker focuses its fury on the closest enemy, which it will attack with its fists, channeling such ferocity that even nearby enemies take damage from the impact. Particularly vicious attacks will knock the enemy completely senseless. Sometimes it can even use them twice in succession, or as a free action if it spends an action point. It will usually charge its first opponent with End the Hunt in an effort to keep them from escaping its fury. Then it grabs its target and hurls it at its allies like a missile, knocking them all down and leaving them open to its next pummeling blows. Subduing it is hard, as it can act outside its own initiative and can shake off afflictions more easily than most. Flanking it in an attack will have it react by slamming the ground and creating a vicious shockwave that dismisses any conjurations in the burst against their will. When the Young Infernal Berserker is bloodied, its power increases dramatically at the cost of its ability to defend itself. Just being near its fiery wounds is painful, and it can act outside its initiative even more frequently. Finally, while bloodied, its attacks carry the blazes of the Nine Hells with them, singing its foes with every swing.

"Unless ye gotta particular likin' fer bein' tossed aroond like a rag doll, ahd stay away from that beastie!" the dwarf invoker comments, gripping her staff tightly with both hands.

"Alright, that's enougha that!" Rock's features begin taking change, morphing him into something much more akin to a werewolf than he normally looks.

He hastily moves to beside the Soldier, swinging his gouge in a brutal attack.

Minor: Longtooth Shift
Move: E-10
Standard: Brutal Slam on Guard
Roll: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3165670/
omg etc. +2 for Combat Advantage though.

The bard's virtue grants Walala some distance from the giant ape, and Rock moves to pummel the nearby soldier in spite of his wounds. Unfortunately, his attack misses its mark.

Fay's Virtue of Cunning slides Walala to N-7

Rock takes 5 fire damage
Rock uses Longtooth Shifting, gaining regeneration 2, a +2 bonus to damage rolls, and +3 bonus to charge damage while bloodied
Rock moves to E-10 and attacks City Watch Soldier 1 with Brutal Slam but misses

Grunting in pain, Walala forms a vague plan in her head. She telepathically broadcasts it to Fays: Banish that monstrosity! She curses a couple times. Fays, we need everyone to get in cover while it's banished and those cultists are blind. They'll proceed to kill each other, like the blasphemous idiots they are. She waits for the banishment, gripping her arm tightly in an attempt to stem the perceived pain (shards don't have nervous systems!) of being crushed, the shards that she lost hold of whirling around her angrily.
Delay past Fays.

Seeing Rocks attack miss, Fays mutters to himself.

"Geez.. I thought that one was supposed to be good at fighting."

Fays' magical limerick sunders the soldier's armor upon the arrow's impact. Rock swings back and his attack finds its mark this time, knocking the soldier flat on its back as it flies past the Hellforged.

He sings a song of the Fey, and the ferocious berserker swiftly vanishes from existence for the time being. The bard fires one final arrow that puts the wounded soldier out of its misery.

A combination of attacks leave the City Watch Soldier DEAD
Timeless Trek in Mithrendain misses, but the Young Infernal Berserker is still removed from play (save ends)

Though slowed, Walala dives into the forest. She can't afford to be targeted with these wounds.

She also applies a curative admixture to her wounds, now calming.

Walala takes time to retreat and nurse her wounds. Her legs start to respond normally again by now, and she fades out of the enemy's view.

Yagi Yuu and their mount are still ablaze.

Move and Standard: Move back and charge at D-E / 10-11. http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3166910/ (12 damage, knock it prone)

Yagi Yuu circles around the cultists, then charges the Razer, knocking it to its knees and shaking off the flames engulfing it. In bad shape, the Hellforged retaliates with its flamethrower, reigniting the horse. Clarity returns to it as it regains its senses, though its movements remain sluggish.

Yagi Yuu takes the Hammer Hands stance
Yagi Yuu moves to D/E 7/8 and charges the Hellforged Razer at D/E 10/11 for 24 damage with Power Strike, pushing it 1 square and knocking it prone. The Razer is now bloodied

Notes
-Young Infernal Berserker’s Instinctive Massacre allows it to take an action at its initiative check + 10.
-Finding out more about the Young Infernal Berserker requires a successful Religion check or History check, each check giving different information. Any player can make either or even both checks as a Free Action, even if it is not their turn, but can only make them once for this creature.
-Finding out more about the Tiefling Warlord requires a successful Nature check. Any player can make this check as a Free Action, even if it is not their turn, but can only make it once for this creature.
-Any space where the fog of war is covering the trees is too thickly wooded to go through without succeeding a DC 10 strength check. On passing, you may move 1 square. Any squares in this fog of war will allow you to only see one square ahead when inside.

Kadol's eyes flash at the mere thought of the flaming monstrosity shaking off its blindness.

Kadol advances to the two heathens cowering before the might of the group, and raises her staff again. The head begins to shine with a brilliant radiance, and though the energy SHOULD burn all in its path, this particular burst didn't seem very effective.

The dwarf curses and pulls her staff back, beating its head against the palm of her hand futilely.

Between the shock of that giant beast appearing and pounding Walala into the ground before being banished, and the battle going so easily, Lia seems to be a bit confused, but continues to try and focus down the pyro and the warlord from the safety of afar.

Kadol strides forward and unleashes righteous indignation against the cultists, but the light harmlessly sweeps past them. The hunter's follow up volley is more successful, bringing the Hellforged closer to falling and forcing the warlord to taste its own blood. The tiefling lashes out in fiery retaliation at Lia, singeing her with its attack, but she remains unphased, going back into hiding.

The Tiefling Warlord's faltering faith makes its words of encouragement ring hollow, the Hellforged showing no signs of getting back up. Desperately it lashes out at the nearest creature, but only invites swift retribution from Yagi's blade, missing his trusty steed and putting the commander down for good.

The infernal creature can be heard roaring from somewhere, its form faintly visible in the space it used to occupy, but that fades quickly as well.

Rock finishes patting down the flames surrounding him, ready for more.

Walala flees before the big monkey comes back. Wasting a precious shard of the Gate to battle against a big ape would be a frivolous activity. After making it near the rest of the group, she applies a healing infusion.
Move twice, to E-9.

Walala comes out of hiding to rejoin the group, further healing her wounds with arcane energy.

Amused by the whole situation unfolding before him, Fays turns to address the party.

"Well gentlemen" he says pointing towards Rock, "Gentlewomen" pointing towards Kadol and Lia "And gentle.. gentle.. what ever you are!" pointing towards Walala "It seems our resident Goat seems the giant ape is a worth challenge, what say you? Should we engage or run like a bunch of cowards~?"

Rock simply grins in return.

"You hafta ask?"

Yagi dismounts, preparing to attack the berserker upon its return. Its horse, fortunately, has stopped burning.

"Steel yeselves, lads and ladies," Kadol comments as she walks to the west, leveling her staff at the point where the giant ape vanished from sight. "This one isn't over yet. Bow-girl, I'll let you lead."

As if noticing the flames scorching her robes for the first time, the dwarf looks at them in a slightly annoyed fashion and pats at them until they cease burning.

Move to H-2

Ready an action, with the trigger being the Infernal Berserker comes within line of sight of 20 squares of me. The action/attack readied is Clever shot with the effect if it hits of slowed.

Free Action:Shift 1 square to G-2 and stealth check
(astaroth said something about not needing to roll, but invisible castle is down anyway)


By the way, if I miss and am not around, I'd like to reroll with Elven Accuracy plus the wild elf luck bonus. Not just that, but if I hit, use the daily on my Crossbow.

With the adventurers poised to attack, the berserker fades back into reality, looking very upset and beating its chest.

Seeing the beast reappear before her, Kadol raises her staff towards the heavens. "Back, demon! Tae tha hell from whence ye came!"

A ripple of thunder tears through the sky above, and the invoker slams her staff into the ground. The earth beneath her staff splits and upheaves itself, and it appears as though a shockwave is passing through the earth on a direct line towards the overgrown simian. There is a sound like a great boulder being split open as the wave of upheaving earth reaches the ape, and a thunderclap sounds as overturned dirt and bits of grass are sent flying in several directions.

Readied Action: Thunder of Judgment on the young infernal berserker. 28 vs. Fortitude, hit for 14 damage, and it is dazed until the end of my next turn. I also push it southeast 4 squares (or as far back as I can push it without engulfing it in the treeline, giving it cover).

Notes
-Young Infernal Berserker’s Instinctive Massacre allows it to take an action at its initiative check + 10.
-Finding out more about the Young Infernal Berserker requires a successful Religion check or History check, each check giving different information. Any player can make either or even both checks as a Free Action, even if it is not their turn, but can only make them once for this creature.
-Finding out more about the Tiefling Warlord requires a successful Nature check. Any player can make this check as a Free Action, even if it is not their turn, but can only make it once for this creature.
-Any space where the fog of war is covering the trees is too thickly wooded to go through without succeeding a DC 10 strength check. On passing, you may move 1 square. Any squares in this fog of war will allow you to only see one square ahead when inside.
