The Hordes of the Blight - The Adventure

Like I said, not hilarious, but I think it's a nice surprise for people following along who aren't reading the OOC topic.

Perception to find the biggest clump of Blightspawn:
1d20+10 = 11+10 = 21

Initative when the lunatic gets there:
1d20 = 7.

WE'RE GOING HARDMODE SUCKERS! ...Or at least Bella's going for it.

Initiative: 17

Initiative: 8, hence the lack of hurrying. And yes, I know, I haven't edited in my new combat build yet. I'm still going to use it, and I'll put it in my sheet ASAP.

Speaking of, I just triggered something...

[0] LEEEROOOY JEEEENKINSS! - Interrupt Utility [1/Battle]
Trigger - You roll initiative.
Effect - You let out a taunting and idiotic shout. Until the end of your next turn, all enemies suffer a -4 penalty to damage on attacks that do not include you as a target.

There. You have until the initiative rolls around to me to do your worst. I suddenly see why Ghost Rider elected for the fried chicken...

I decided to flavor it as thicker fog (for today.) Is that okay?

Talents:

(+4) Trance
(+1) Gather Energy
(0) Prepare Spell
(-1) Blood Pact
(-3) Blast From The Past

Status: Okay, for now...
HP: 30
Energy: 4

Initiative: 14

Moves:
[+3] Shooting from the Hip (Taunting Strike) - Standard Attack
Deal 1d4 damage to target creature. You suffer vulnerability 3 to that creature’s attacks until the end of your next turn.
[+1] Called Shot (Headshot) - Standard Attack
Deal 1d6 damage to target creature. If you roll a 5 or a 6 - treat the die roll as though it were twice the result.
[+1] Ballistic Impact (Armor Pierce) - Standard Attack
Deal 1d6 damage to target creature, and that creature suffers vulnerability 1 (save ends).
[+1] Look Down the Sights (Gather Energy) - Standard Utility
On your next turn, you may take 2 standard actions. You cannot use this talent two turns in a row.
[-1] Stamped Out (Judo Throw) - Standard Attack
Choose one:
A) Fling target ally away from the battle, removing it from combat until the start of your turn
B) Pay an additional 7 pips. Deal 3d12 damage to target creature and fling it away from the battle, removing it from combat until the end of its next turn.
(a creature removed from combat cannot affect any other creature in the battle with combat talents or be affected by any combat talents - though it may still use [+] abilities to gain energy).

Items are as usual, and

HP: 30
PiPs: 4

Blightwing A: 8
Bellator: 7
Blighthound D: 5
Blighthound B: 3

Zakhar's first!

Adjacency is as follows: BW A, BW B, BH A, BH B, G, BH C, BH D, BW C, BW D

Battle Moves:
[+3] Careless Blow (Taunting Strike) - Standard Attack
Deal 1d4 damage to target creature. You suffer vulnerability 3 to that creature’s attacks until the end of your next turn.

[+2] Wide Swing (Arcing Bolt) - Standard Attack

Total: 12(Wild crush) + 7(Sap Strike) = 19 damage to Giant
Nobody can be healed right now, so I guess Zakhar gives the heal to one of the guards.
Careless Blow misses
Crit: Choosing not to use it.
Blind save: 9, failure

HP: 30
Pips: 4
Status: Blind

The Giant inflicts 5 damage to everyone, (8 to Zakhar) and everyone suffers 2 vulnerability (save ends).
Blighthound C inflicts a whopping 1 damage to Mitsuna, while Blightwing B inflicts 8 damage (plus 2 vuln for 10 total) to Aparix, Mitsuna, and Bellator. I don't recall what Bellator's Resist is so if you could deduct that for me, that'd be great.

As usual, I assumed adjacency was as the initiative order. If you disagree and have an alternate adjacency thing in mind, let me know.

First I used One Step Forward, Fly Right Back, winning the coin toss (therefore negating the damage Blightwing B would have done to me) and doing 4 damage to Blightwingd B. I then also did 3 more damage with Shooting From the Hip, and so have vulnerability 3 to Blightwing B's attacks until the end of my next turn. With a roll of 13, I made my save ends.

HP: 25
PiPs: 6
Status Effects: Vuln. 3 (Blightwing B only)
Condition: Merry Christmas to All

[-1] Blood Pact - Minor Utility
For the rest of the battle, at the beginning of your turn, you gain 1 energy and then lose 1
HP for each energy you have.

[-3] Blast From The Past - Standard Utility
You cease to exist and can take no actions until the start of your next turn. While you do not exist, you cannot affect any creature and no creature can see or affect you in any way. At the start of your next turn, you reappear and deal 1d12 damage to target creature and all creatures adjacent to it.

Save against Vulnerability: 1d20(1)
...Between Hector and now this, that's three Natural 1s in a row. I should get my dice checked...

Status: Non-existent, Blood Pact, Vuln 2
HP: 16
Energy: 0

Also, pay attention to the OOC thread; not right away, but I have some lore to post on channeling.

Paladin takes 4 damage from Blightwing A. Bellator's turn!

Took 5 damage -2 Resist = 3, gained 2 Vuln (save-ends.)
Took 8 damage, - Resist, +2 Vuln = ...8.
Regenerated 3 HP.

Chosen Action:
[-7] Secret Art: Purifying Spirit (Conjure Staff of the Stars) – Minor Utility [1/Battle]
You conjure a Celestial Staff in your hands. You can dismiss the Celestial Staff as a free action. While you are wielding a Celestial Staff , you cannot use your other combat talents. Instead you may use the combat talents below.
Using Talisman of Weapons to reduce the cost to 4. Wheeeeee.

[+3] Starbolt – Standard Attack
You deal 1d12 damage to target creature.
1d12 = 11 to...We'll save Blightwing B. Sadness, so close to nuking...Pretty much everything.

HP: 22/30
Pips: 3
Status: Using Staff of the Stars, Regen 3, Resist 2, Vuln 2 (save-ends)
Condition: ...Getting ready to heal.

Hopefully we can whittle down the supporting cast so that the vulnerability doesn't rip us a structurally superfluous new backside.

Ugh, took me this long to have nothing happen. Paladin's turn!
