This is the Battles of Sagaris thread where all Arena Fights occur. Only Pitlords may post here, and they may only post fights. If you want to join the Core Coliseum and see your characters fight here, read the Rules of Sagaris, or use the Quickstart Guide if you can't wait. If you have any questions, you can ask them in the Core Coliseum Tavern.
For Pitlords: There are some rules for pitlording that must be obeyed! Please read the Rules of Sagaris: Pitlording before you post a fight! Here are the most important ones:
As soon as you have received tactics, read them and check for any mistakes. If you have encountered a problem, write back to the player and tell him.
Check the character sheets of all combatants, and report any mistakes in the Prison.
Begin to run your fight as soon as you have all tactics. There might be mistakes in the fight, and the sooner you run it, the more you have later to discuss and fix them.
If you encounter a problem, you can ask in the respective Fights of the Week thread for assistance. Try not to give too much away but only if that is possible.
Once the fight is done, post it here in the Battles of Sagaris thread. There are certain guidelines that must be met:
You must include the character sheets of all combatants into the post. Preferably in (sblock).
You also have to include all tactics, including any supplementals. Preferably in (sblock).
You must include a end-of-round summary. That includes name, positions, hitpoints, remaining spell levels and powerpoints, spells and effects on the character and the duration.
You have to determine the winner at the bottom of the post.
You have to make a list with all used items at the bottom of the post. In case of magic items, you have to include the caster level.
If you cannot run or finish your fight, tell us on the Fights of the Week thread and we will look for a substitute Pitlord.
Never delete a fight unless the GM tells you so.
Fights must be finished and posted here until Wednesday 2AM GMT (Tuesday 9pm EST/10pm EDT). If you post your fight after that deadline, you will lose your credit and gain a negative one on top of that. If you do not post the fight at all before the next pairings are rolled, you lose another credit. Please make sure your fight is finished on time, or at least tell us so that we can find a substitute Pitlord. It is really annoying to the players if their characters have to sit out a week because their fights is being extended.
One final note: Every fight adds a bit to the history of the Core Coliseum. If you have some extra time, try to write a little story around your fight. It doesn't have to be a novel but some simple flowery descriptions make the fight so much more interesting. The best stories will enter the Hall of Fame.

Every week, I make a post with the pairings for this week here in the Battles of Sagaris thread. This post has several purposes: It marks the beginning of a new week, it lists what characters do in a week so that it can be used as a confirmation link to the things your character did (like crafting), and it will have links to all the fights. Since this thread can get very crowded quickly I will list the previous Pairings here. For links to the individual fights pick the appropriate Pairing Post below; you'll find all links there.

MindWandererB]This will be interesting--two melee types and two helllocks. wrote:
This will be interesting--two melee types and two helllocks. Very different builds, though.
General: As much as I'd like to take down Lyta first, the fact that my speed isn't so hot means that I can't avoid Argor well enough to do that. So Argor has priority. Stay at range as long as possible, hit him with Reflex and Will attacks, then move on to Lyta with melee and whatever.
Specifics: Start in the front corners of the start box, behind the pillars, Koritaea with bow in hand. Move to in front of the pillars and either attack (bow and Eldritch Blast) or ready to do so on sight. If there's no sight that round, Koritaea will take point, Pak at least 3 squares behind (so they're not both in Scorching Blast/Dragon Breath AoE), and again ready or attack each round.
After first contact and before melee, I want to single-move back every round and, again, either attack or ready to do so. Koritaea's attacks will be with Lance of Faith (drop bow, draw sword) if Argor is in range or will be in range on his next action (assume he'll charge), with bow otherwise. Pak's will be with Eldritch Blast. Again, Koritaea should be at least 3 squares in front of Pak relative to Argor.
Once Argor closes to melee, Koritaea will switch to bastard sword if she hasn't already done so and use Righteous Brand (Pak should stay within 5, on the far side from Argor, to benefit). When she or Pak is down by HS+4 HP, use Healing Strike with Divine Fortune, and with Elven Accuracy if necessary. (If Elven Accuracy isn't needed for this attack, use it on the next miss she gets.) Pak, at this point, will use Vampiric Embrace, then more Eldritch Blasts.
Next is Lyta. Koritaea will charge to get into melee, then use Righteous Brand. Pak will use Eldritch Blast if Lyta is attacking Koritaea, or Hellish Rebuke if she's attacking himself.
Contingencies/Key Points: - Pak will curse, of course. Except on the initial ready, always curse before attacking either target. - Pak should also be moving 3 squares a round for concealment. When he's being attacked, he should try circling obstacles (attack, move) to hide. - If Lyta is trying similar monkey business to hide, use any unused minor actions to make active perception checks. Remember Group Awareness. - Healing Word: use it on either character when they're bloodied. Do Healing Strike first, if they're in melee. - If Koritaea goes down while Argor is still up: activate Armor of Agathys (if there are still 7 temp. HP from Vampiric Embrace, hold off on this) and use Hellish Rebuke. Provoking is a necessary evil at this point; hopefully the Armor of Agathys combined with Rebuke damage will outweigh it. Use Second Wind when bloodied, but after the Armor. If Argor as at any time not adjacent, fall back and use Dire Radiance on him. - If it's down to 1-on-1, nothing really changes except to use an action point. Since Koritaea's at-wills both benefit an ally, she's better off charging if she can manage it. Pak can try to get a small advantage by hiding for a round and using Second Wind. - If struck with Hellish Rebuke: not much I can do about that. Suck it up and pray. Both helllocks using this on each other will be highly amusing. - If Lyta uses Armor of Agathys, back off. Stay at maximum range and pelt her with ranged attacks, even going so far as to retrieve the bow. Provoking from her is okay (even desirable if it means triggering Hellish Rebuke). Use Dire Radiance to discourage her from closing in.
Hellish Rebuke (Warlock 1) Ranged 10....+4 vs. Reflex Hit: 1d6+4 fire damage, if you take damage before the end of my next turn, the target takes additional 1d6+4 fire damage.

Synopsis 4e - seems pretty straightforward after writing tactics for 3.5 wrote:
Hi, and thanks for pitlording!
Synopsis 4e - seems pretty straightforward after writing tactics for 3.5 i want to go for the cleric, focus on her, as the surge value is a lot lower than at the warlock.
Setup Just start in the very front of the square, next to each other
Fight Argor will move&charge the cleric once he sees her. after that, AP for his daily, followed up by his dragon breath (include warlock if possible) Argor will use sure strike all over. Lyta will move so that she can curse the cleric, and shoot eldritch blasts all the time.
Once Koritea is down, curse and use both encounter(embrace, steel serpent) powers on Pak, continue as before.
Contingencies
roll those 20ies!
Argor will always charge if not within range for move, at-will.
Lyta will rather shoot eldritch blast than move to get into range for anything else.
if pak is attacking lyta and vice-versa, switch to hellish rebuke as attack.

Peanut Gallery: General Feedback: Aside from the dice being just mean to WB, I found this pretty easy to run. I made the one mistake in the roller in the beginning with cover, and Lyta's prime shot (which missed after I rolled damage, but after that, it was very easy to note modifiers and take care of things.
A note on Shadow Walk: I look at that and it just says that the Warlock gains 'concealment' but I couldn't find a reason why it wouldn't be given, or how it would be defeated. Yet the update rules on Stealth just said how to gain concealment using stealth, am I just making this stronger than it is, or am I missing a rules reference?
@WB: You might consider using some of your encounters in situations after an early hit. The Warlock damage output is high and at this level with one pre hit, followed by a hitting encounter can turn the tide. @MWB: The dice were kind.

Group awareness: You grant non-elf allies within 5 squares of you a +1 bonus to perception checks. Wild Step: You ignore difficult terrain when you shift.
Move out and if possible use Stealth to get combat advantage for the first attacks.
If both enemies are found simultaneously, the closer one will be the first target.
Both twins declare the target as their hunters quarry and engage with Two-fanged strike first and Twin strikes after that. In the first round of engagement, one twin will use his action point for another attack. Both use Elven Accurracy on their first miss (note that with their elven precision feat, they gain a +2 bonus on that reroll).
Every round after that should be shoot & move away into cover for stealth. If there is no LOS on the start of round, move closer to last known position while using stealth before shooting.
Always try to use prime shot(the twin closer to the target shoots first and then moves further away). Stay just far enough away from each other to not get cought in a scorching burst or icy terrain together.
Once the first target is down, use hunters quarry on the other one.
Dont spend the dailies and dont bother with second wind.
With my better range, better stealth capeabilities and higher pure firepower, I think this fight looks good for me, unless I fail against sleep or something...

Have both start just one square back of being seen. Then first round double move to the middle, if Nest sees one then in between moves have her use a minor to curse.
From there focus attacks on one of them, Start with Owen’s Icy terrain to limit the movement of one, Have Nest hit with Dire radiance, and use Infernal Wrath/Dreadful Word combination if a dire radiance hits and the target remains visible. Keep Nest on the move, and try to have her in position to take Prime Shot attacks. Curse as needed.
Owen will use Icy rays almost exclusively after I. Terrain is out.
Healing: Nest and Owen should use Second wind if a) bloodied and have no target, b) less than 1/4 hp and have them move to cover when they do this.
Someone Goes down 2v1 Have Owen delay till after Nest. Nest will move closer for prime shot an Dire Radiance, and then Owen will step in front of her with Icy Rays. The goal is to use move actions so that they highly consider setting off the dire radiance secondary.
Owen vs 2 Use cover and attack with icy rays. If they group together, go for the Sleep/Orb combo on them (orb on sleep effect)
Nest vs 2 Shoot and move to cover, keep the stealth up as much as possible.
Notes: - If they keep out of range of our attacks from the middle, then Have Nest move out and go for dire radiance, and see if they keep running away. - Try to keep Owen in front so that he is always quarry’d. I’m sure LW would like to kill Nest first. - If Nest doesn’t move far and Owen seems to be targeted, have him Shadow Jaunt to the front, and use insubstantial (half dmg pg 277) to soak some dmg. Use it also if he gets bear trapped.

@lonewolf: Yeah, at this level, ranged strikers are pretty darn potent, especially with multiple attack rolls to help compensate for improbably bad rolls. @'Rith: He who hesitates--or loses initiative--is lost, against a pair like that. Pretty much the worst opponents two squishies could draw. General: Neither of you were very specific about movement, or what to do about cover. The combination of prime shot, quarry/curse, and stealth makes this a major issue, since both sides wanted to have cover. This is also relevant with limited resources (AP/encounter/dailies): in a TT or thread fight, I never would have used an AP to use Twin Strike against an opponent with superior cover when I'd already gotten my quarry damage that round, but I couldn't find anything in lonewolf's tactics to contraindicate that.

MindWandererB]Two melee monsters, with a defender and a leader, both with fat healing surge values... I need to take them down fast and hard. Too bad that's not my specialty.
General: Use non-AC attacks, focus on the healer first, and delay melee.
Pak will start in the bottom-right corner of the start area. Koritaea will start right in front of him, bow in hand. Before contact is made, they'll move out together, Koritaea in front (by 3 squares, to avoid both getting in one Dragon Breath), and ready to attack (basic bow and Dire Radiance).
Upon contact, Pak will curse the nearest opponent and continue to attack that opponent with Dire Radiance, single-moving back every round. Koritaea will also single-move back each round and either fire her bow or, if either opponent will be able to charge on their turn, ready to attack with Lance of Faith.
Once the opponents have closed in, focus on Loki. Being marked is not a deterrent. Koritaea will use Lance of Faith (action Point for two of them on the first opportunity), and Pak will curse, then use first Vampiric Embrace, then Hellish Rebuke if they're attacking him, Eldritch Blast if they're focusing on Koritaea. Shift away to avoid OAs, of course. Once Loki is down, repeat the performance against Azriel.
Contingencies/Key Points: - Healing: Use Healing Word whenever either character is bloodied. Pak will use Second Wind if one opponent is down, he is bloodied, and Koritaea is either out of Words or down. - Once Koritaea is done with her bow, drop it and switch to sword. - Cornered: Try to avoid this--my back should never be to a wall. If the two opponents flank me so I can't shift out and attack without provoking, it depends on the character: - - Koritaea will use Divine Fortune + Healing Strike (+ Elven Accuracy if needed) on Loki, Righteous Brand thereafter. Try to shift out of it, but that will be hard if not impossible wrote:

Try to shift out of it, but that will be hard if not impossible; next best option is to back into a corner so they can't flank. - - Pak will use Armor of Agathys, stay put for 1 round (to hit both of them), then go ahead and provoke (from one of them, not both--preferably Loki) for Hellish Rebuke. If it's impossible to avoid provoking from both, just take total defense or Second Wind and make them both eat Armor of Agathys damage. - Elven Accuracy: save it for Healing Strike. If Healing Strike hits without it, use it on the next miss after that. - Pak will try to have Shadow Walk activated as much as possible, and also to benefit from Prime Shot whenever possible. However, early on it is more important to put Koritaea in front for defensive purposes. - If they've spread out their damage on both of us (at least 7 "real" damage apiece, not temps) before Koritaea has used any healing, use her Beacon of Hope.
Zillah]Character name- Azriel, Loki Starting Positions- 2 boxes in front facing the center pillar. Sword and Board for both of them at the start. Tactics down below! vvvvvvvvv Thanks for handling the fight.
Tactics against The Astral Antipodes (MindWandererB) At the start of the fight, the two fighters will start at the front to squares facing the center of the pillar in the arena. They will double move to the center of the arena at that pillar if no targets are seen. If they are seen, a Move/charge will occur if needed, or just a move/attack. Setting up the combos is not as important as hitting the target. Koritaea will be the main target of both fighters. If seen first, she will be charged in a strategic way to block movement or to flank against her. If flanking not possible Azriel and Loki will try to stay adjacent to each other in order to maximize Loki’ wrote:

If seen first, she will be charged in a strategic way to block movement or to flank against her. If flanking not possible Azriel and Loki will try to stay adjacent to each other in order to maximize Loki’s powers. Loki will Furious Smash her when Azriel is in range to receive benefits every time. If not, Wolf Pack tactics. If bloodied, either fighter will use encounter powers to try to finish it, and even dragon’s breath as well. A good combo if fighters are adjacent to enemies at the start of their turns would be to Dragon’s breath, then attack with an @ will or encounter, then to heal with a minor action of Inspiring word. A different combo would be for Azriel to be adjacent to an opponent or both are in reach of dragon’s breath. Minor divine Str, Minor Dragon’s breath to try to get both opponents in blast., Standard Radiant Smite and if that is not available, Holy strike if marked, Valiant if not. Pak will be marked by Azriel if seen before Koritea. Otherwise Koritaea will be marked by Azriel. Both fighters will attack the AC, unless a strategic Furious Smash is deemed needed. Azriel will Valiant strike if both enemies are adjacent to him. If either are bloodied, he will blow encounter powers. If Loki is rendered unconscious, Azriel’s next attack will be Paladin's Judgement in order to revive Loki. If Pak’s Armor of Agathys is activated, will do best effort to avoid, but if he tries to get adjacent to either fighter, take all AOO’s. If any actions left and Pak is hiding somewhere, use minors to perception where he is. If needed to take an action, minor perception first, then take required actions. Azriel will make the better looker. Second winds will be used only if attacks are not possible and if players are bloodied. Other than that, Lay on Hands, and Inspiring word are first. But priority goes to Inspiring word. If either player on the opposite team drops, they SHOULD be attacked until death. One figher should be enough for this task, and I would leave that for whoever is closest to the dropped fighter. If needed both fighters will drop swords and pull out Javelins for attacking Pak when he has his armor on. If not needed to drop swords, they will simply put them away and reach for Javelins. Mark the lock when the cleric drops.

Round 1 Koritaea moves out and sees Azriel and Loki and readies an attack. Loki sees Koritaea and double moves since a charge is not possible. This triggers Koritaea's ready. (Miss:5v 17) Azriel sees Koritaea and double moves. Pak curses Loki and moves away from the approaching combatants, gaining concelment from Shadow Walk. He casts Dire Radiance at Loki, hitting (17 vs 15) for 11 damage (2+5+4).
Round 2 Koritaea casts Lance of Faith at Loki, striking powerfully for 12 damage. (CRIT!:24 vs11) She then action points to fire another Lance, missing. (9 vs 11). She then moves away, dropping her bow [color=gray]Free and drawing her swordMinor as she sees her opponents closing in.[/color] Loki, now bloodied, uses Inspiring Word on himself, healing 10 points of damage. He then moves and charges Koritaea, striking her (21 vs 16) for 7 damage. This causes the Dire Radiance to damage him for 7 more. Azriel moves and charges Koritaea. (22 vs 16) He hits for 8 damage, bloodying her. Pak moves behind his opponents, reactivating Shadow Walk, and casts Vampiric Embrace on Loki, cursing his dark masters as he narrowly misses (10 vs 14 will. EDIT: Total 12 Still misses with +2 from Lance.)
Round 3 Koritaea, badly wounded, makes a Healing Strike at Loki, calling upon her god for Divine Fortune. She connects (19 vs 17 AC), dealing 16 damage to Loki, [s]marking him dropping him and healing herself for 10 points. She shifts away to the southeast. [s]Loki, gravely injured, uses Inspiring Word on himself, healing for 14 points. Seeking to end the battle, he moves adjacent to Koritaea and attacks with the Hammer and Anvil technique, missing his target (9 vs 12).Loki should roll a death saving throw I missed here. Azriel moves to attack Koritaea with Paladin's Judgment to revive his fallen comrade. He hits(22vs16AC) for 15 damage. Loki regains 9 hit points. He then uses Divine Challenge to mark Koritaea. Pak moves to retain concelament and employs an Eldritch Blast to strike (9 vs 11 Ref) Loki, but misses.
Koritaea: 4/24 Marked by Divine Challenge Pak: 37/37 Concealment Azriel: 32/32 Loki: 9/31 Marked by Healing Strike 1/2 Inspiring Words used.

Loki stands and uses his second wind (+2 Defenses). He heals 9 and moves toward Koritaea. Azriel moves and charges Koritaea. He misses (9 vs 16 AC). Pak uses Eldritch Blast against Loki, but misses. (9 vs 13 Ref). He moves away.
Koritaea: 15/24 Marked by Paladin Judgement 1/2 Healing Words used. Pak: 37/37 Concealment Azriel: 32/32 Loki: 18/31 1/2 Inspiring Words used, Second Wind used.
Round 5
Koritaea shifts and moves back to a safe position. Loki moves toward Koritaea and uses the Hammer and Anvil technique on her. He hits (16+1 Dragonborn Fury vs 12 Ref+2 cover) for 8 damage. Azriel moves toward Koritaea. He attempts a Radiant Smite. He hits (26vs16 AC) for 14 damage, dropping Koritaea. Pak casts Hellish Rebuke at Loki. He hits (13+1 prime shot vs 11 reflex for 10 damage. He moves away, maintaining concealment.
Round 6 Ok, after this round, the boards ate my post. Grrr. Essentially, after this point, the Ravens Guards charge Pak, who activates Armor of Agathys, which drops Loki. He then curses and Hellish rebukes Azriel, and essentially outlasts him with temporary hit points and the retributive damage from the armor and the rebuke. It was a pretty nasty fight.
The Astral Antipodes barely pull out a win and gain 2 VP. Koriteae used one action point and one healing surge. Pak used Armor of Agathys. They both also gain an action point (Milestone). The Raven's Guards have an unlucky loss, but still gain 1 VP. Azriel used Paladin's Judgment. Loki used 3 Healing surges.

It don't matter what one of the 4 starting areas.. Since unless directly across they are visable..
Albuur Starts with rod in hand, Mindshadow starts with Bow in hand..
Main priority... Hrrokh is a heavy hitter.. So this will be the David vs Goliath.. Albuur the small halfling will be going after the bugbear. Keeping cover and Concealment as much as possable till he is within range of Eye bite then hit him with eye bite, they all 4 have the same movement range.. So if it looks like Hrrokh is gonna charge Albuur, and Mindshadow is within range(10), he can Telekinetic Leap Albuur back 5 squares
Mind shadow is the sneak of the bunch.. (don't ask me why) His main Objective is to find and kill the Drow Syalith.. all the while attempting to staying hidden himself..
Albuurs main attack will be eye bite.. if one hits the next attack will be WitchFire, followed by more eye bites till he drops.. if for some reason Albuur gets hit.. use his Racial Second Chance ability to not be hit the first time...
Mind shadows main attack will be Nimble strike.. UNLESS he sees Syalith then he will "Two Fang Strike" and then nimble strike him till he dies.. And needless to say they will help each other out if they drop thier target first..
HEALING.. [s]If either go bloodied.. use a surge.. up to 2 of them..
it's pretty straight forward.. lets hope the dice gods are on my side..
Oh and movement.. they will move counterclockwise and attempt to stay in sight of each other.. as they search for thier prey
You can't use surges without an ability that grants the use of them during combat - Second Wind, healing word, etc
ok just remove that line
Mindshadow can use his healing word if Albuur goes uncon or looks to be in trouble..
Notes I somehow managed to add STR/DEX damage to Twin Strike on Hrrokh. Obviously, ignore those bonuses. Similarly, Syalith's REF should be 16, rather than the listed 14. Unless specifically noted, if a character can see both Albuur and Mind shadow, the target is Mind shadow. Remember Prime Shot bonus in situations where Hrrokh is as close as or to his target than Syalith.
Hrrokh and Syalith will begin at the back of the square, on opposite sides (see here). Hrrokh will be wielding his longbow, and Syalith his crossbow.
The basic plan is to go clockwise around the board, looking for the foes. Try to stay close to cover. Both yakuza will single move (using Stealth at end) and ready a shot on a foe coming into sight (If they still have cover against that foe When Hrrokh finds them, he will declare whomever he can see his quarry. Then, if within 1 square of cover, he will use Nimble Strike on whomever he can see (see Notes above) to shift to cover. If not within 1 square of cover, use Twin Strike. When Syalith finds them, he will use Sly Flourish and seek to leave LoS to hide. On the next round after hiding, keep cover if at all possible to enable Sneak Attack. When a move action is available, Hrrokh will move away from Albuur after firing, trying to maintain LoS to target.
When Albuur uses either Eyebite or Witchfire on Hrrokh: 1) If Hrrokh goes before Syalith and is at or below 19HP, he will use Second Wind. 2) If Hrrokh goes before Syalith and is not below 19HP, he will use Twin Strike on Albuur. 3) Syalith will use Darkfire on Albuur, and then use Sly Flourish. 4) If Syalith hit with Darkfire, Hrrokh will declare Albuur his quarry, use Predatory Eye, then use Twin Strike on Albuur. From here on out, focus fire on Albuur until he is down (Twin Strike/Sly Flourish), then resume attacks on Mind shadow. 5) If Syalith misses with Darkfire, Hrrokh will stay at least 17 squares away from Albuur while both foes are standing. While actions are available, he will fire at Albuur with Twin Strike, but only when at least 17 squares from Albuur with a Standard action remaining.
Once Mind shadow is down, both characters will attempt to get into melee with Albuur, flanking if at all possible. Hrrokh will use Twin Strikes with longsword and short sword, and Syalith will use Sly Flourish with dagger.
Healing Contingencies: If Hrrokh is below 10HP, he will use Second Wind (Exception: If both foes are standing, and Syalith missed with Darkfire, continue avoiding Albuur. Only use Second Wind in place of attack if standard action available.) If Syalith is below 10HP, he will use Second Wind. If Syalith is dying or is below 10HP and has already used Second Wind, Hrrokh will use Healing Word on him.
Action Point Contingencies: Syalith will not use an Action Point in this encounter. If Syalith hits with Darkfire and the subsequent Sly Flourish, but Hrrokh misses with both Twin Strike attacks, he will burn an action point to Twin Strike again. Otherwise, he will not use an AP.
[Prefight locations and initiative] The Reapers start in area 4. -- Albuur starts with his rod in hand at (4,15). Initiative 5 -- Mind Shadow starts with his bow in hand at (4,18). Initiative 20. The Underdark Yakuza start in area 1. -- Hrrokh starts at (18,31) with his longbow in hand. Initiative 15. -- Syalith starts at (15,31) with his crossbow in hand. Initiative 9.
[Round 1] Mind Shadow doesn't see an opponent, so he moves to (8,23) and readies to attack with Nimble strike on seeing an opponent. Hrrokh doesn't see anyone, so he moves to (20,28), where he can see Albuur. He is already under cover, so he declares Albuur his quarry and uses twin strike [8,11 vs AC16, miss] Syalith moves to (16,28) and uses Sly Flourish on Albuur and gains sneak attack since Albuur hasn't acted yet [24! [Second Chance 9] vs Reflex 15, [s]hit; Dmg 1d6+8+2d6=6+8+7=21 Miss] Albuur is out of range of Eyebite, so he moves to (9,18) [Gains concealment], curses Syalith and uses eyebite [7 vs Will 14, miss]
[Round 2] Mind Shadow moves to (12,20), declares Syalith as his quarry and uses Two Fang Strike against Syalith [25!,25! vs AC16, 2 hits; Dmg 1d10+4=14,14; Hunter's Quarry 1d6=3; +1 dmg since both attacks hit] [originally forgot that Nat-20s are maximized damage] [s]Hrrokh can see both opponents, but his priority is Mind Shadow. He declares him as his quarry and fires a Twin Strike [13,11 vs AC16, miss]. He then moves to (24,26) Hrrokh starts moving and sees that Syalith has gone down. He finishes moving to (18,29), uses Healing Word on Syalith [1d6=5, healing surge spent] [Stealth 14] [s]Syalith uses [s]sly flourish on Mind Shadow [21 vs Reflex 16, hit; Dmg 1d6+8=13] Second Wind [+6hp, +2 to all defenses] and moves to hide to (20,28) [Stealth 16] Syalith stands and moves to (20,28) to hide [Stealth 16] [s]Albuur moves to (15,24) [Gains concealment], curses Hrrokh and uses Eyebite on him [16 vs Will 12, hit; Dmg 1d6+4+1d6=9] Albuur moves to (9,22) [Gains concealment], actively searches [Perception 6 vs Stealth 14], but on seeing no one, simply readies to use eyebite.
[Round 3] Mind Shadow moves to (17,20), actively searches for Syalith [Perception 12 vs Stealth 16] but can't find him. [s]Instead he attacks Hrrokh with Nimble Strike [23 vs 17, hit; Dmg 1d10+4=7] and then shifts to (17,19) Since he can't see anyone, he readies to use Nimble Strike on spotting someone. [s]Hrrokh uses second wind [+6hp, +2 to all defenses] and moves to (25,25) and hides [Stealth 14] Hrrokh has clear LOS to Mind Shadow, so he declares him as his quarry, fires a Twin Strike [13+2,11+2 vs AC16, miss] and moves to (24,26) Before he moves though, he triggers both Albuur's and Mind Shadow's readies. Albuur uses Eyebite on him [16 vs Will 12, hit; Dmg 1d6+4[s]+1d6=9-1]. Mind Shadow uses Nimble Strike [23-3 (difference between cover and improved cover) vs 17, hit; Dmg 1d10+4=7], but doesn't shift. Syalith uses sly flourish on Mind Shadow [21+2 (combat advantage) vs Reflex 16, hit; Dmg 1d6+8=13, Sneak attack 2d6=7]. He then moves away and back to (20,28) [Stealth 22] Albuur can see Hrrokh clearly, so he moves to (15,26) [Gains concealment], curses him and then uses witchfire on him [14 vs Will 12, hit; Dmg 2d6+4=10, Curse 1d6=1] Seeing Hrrokh fall, Albuur immediately teleports to (17,28)
[Round 4] Mind Shadow can't see Syalith, so he moves to (22,22), where he can see the drow, designates his quarry and fires Nimble shot [13 vs AC16, miss] [Hrrokh save 20! - healing surge spent (+6 hp)] Syalith uses sly flourish on Mind Shadow [16 vs AC16, hit; Dmg 1d6+8=9] and then moves to (25,25) and hides [Stealth 22] Albuur sees that Hrrokh has recovered, so he uses Eyebite on him again [8 vs Will 12+2, miss]. He then moves to (19,29) [Gains Concealment]
[Round 5] [Mind Shadow save 15 - no worse, no better] Hrrokh stands and uses Second Wind [+6hp, +2 to all defenses] [s]Syalith uses Darkfire on Albuur [8 vs Reflex 15, miss] and then Sly Flourish [10 vs Reflex 15, miss] and moves to (24,22) [Stealth 13] Missed the part about wanting to go to melee if Mind Shadow goes down. Syalith stows the crossbow, draws his dagger and moves to (20,29) Albuur uses Eyebite on Hrrokh [Opportunity attack 11 vs AC16, miss] [18 vs Will 12+2, hit; Dmg 1d6+4+1d6=10] and then moves away (14,25) [Gains concealment]
[Round 6] [Mind Shadow save 2 - 1 failure] Hrrokh stows his bow, draws his longsword and moves to (18,25) Syalith moves to (15,26) and uses sly flourish [17-2 vs AC16, miss] Albuur uses Eyebite on Hrrokh [Opportunity attack 17 vs AC16, hit; Dmg 1d4=3] [25! vs Will 12, hit; Dmg 1d6+4+1d6=6+4+3=13]. He immediately teleports to (11,22) and then moves to (5,16) [Gains concealment]
[Round 7] [Mind Shadow save 8 - 2 failures] [Hrrokh save 14 - no worse, no better] Syalith moves and then charges Albuur (6,17) [7 vs AC16, miss] Albuur shifts [9 vs Will 14, miss]
[Round 8] [Mind Shadow save 10 - no worse, no better] [Hrrokh save 15 - no worse, no better] Syalith shifts and uses sly flourish [18 vs Reflex 15, hit; Dmg 1d4+8=10] Albuur shifts and uses Eyebite [15 vs Will 14, hit; Dmg 1d6+4+1d6=13] and Syalith falls.
