"Let's see if we cannot thin the crowd a bit."

Fhangrim and his girls move into position near two of the gargoyles. With the spirit of the owlbear threatening the others. Fhangrim calls upon his understanding of the natural world to shield his allies from their attacks.

Finally he fires a trio of stones from his staff at the gargoyles.

[MetaVoid]

Drew takes off like a bowshot, boosted by druidic magic. At one point he suddenly reverses direction, coming hard toward the guardian trying to push it into the other. But the mass of the stone beast defeats the attempt.

[sblock=FourMonos]I thought to use Iron wolf charge and after rolling realized I cannot charge into the field where blast two would have an effect due to closest square limitation (so damage is 12 instead of 14 (that is, I removed 1d6 effect) and the power is not expended)[/sblock]

Miss: Drew regains the use of this power, but cannot use it again in the encounter

After what seems like both a moment and an eternity, sight and hearing return to the paladin, and what seem like scales of stone fall from his arms. He quickly tries to take in the battlefield, feeling disoriented - it looks like everyone has shifted around the street while he stood stock still, hands still halfway to shield and sword.

The elf cocks his head couple of times as various sounds of combat errupt around him. He then moves decisively around the nearest guardian and into the middle of the street. He points his flashing dagger toward the building and the mist rises from cobblestones. While it protects the ally, guardians are not so lucky and one moves blindly throught the mists, even its stony mind confused.

Finally, Illarion raises his blind eyes toward the beholder and there seems to be a shadow clinging to the creature before it disappears into its body.

[sblock=Actions]
Move: I23, avoiding OA by going E28-F27-I23
Free: Assassin shroud on the beholder

G1 hit and slides 4 to D28
If G2 is hit then slide to D29
Max is missed, lucky him. I'm going with G1 being hit with will 32, not sure about 18

Illarion gains +1 AC due to unfettered power.

All immediates assume non-minion crit OR Illarion is bloodied and under attack - I will specifically call if Swift Escape (encounter power) is free to be used)

[Neil1889]

Lilli, enabled by Fhangrim's guile, skips away from the gargoyles and tries one of her spells. Usually with this spell, the minds of her foes are distracted by a huge pile of gold that she seemingly brings forth from nowhere, but in this case a pile of raw meat appears in the minds of all but one of the gargoyles instead. Those affected can't resist and all run and dive headlong into it all!

Lilli then holds the spell's power ready for another attack later, but also weaves in another enchantment! This one weighs all of the gargoyles down with the meat that they grab and she also tries to make some of them attack each other over the food instead of striking at Fhangrim and his vicious looking pet.

[sblock=actions]Free Action: from Fhangrim’s Natural Terrain Understanding, Lilli shifts 2 squares from F26 to G24.

Standard Action: OK, so Lilli weaves Visions of Avarice and places the zone (highlighted in dark orange 1 on the Google sheet) in square D27 to attack the gargoyles.

To Hit rolls start with the G1 in D28, then G3 in D30, then G4 in D32, then G2 in D26.

Visions of Avarice (Daily Standard Area burst 5 within 10 squares ✦ Arcane, Illusion, Implement, Zone)
Target: Each enemy in burst.
Attack: +14 vs. Will
Effect: The burst creates a zone in the origin square. The zone lasts until the end of your next turn. You then make the primary attack.
Hit: The target is pulled up to 4 squares towards the zone. If the primary target is then in the zone or adjacent to it, the target is immobilised (save ends).
Sustain: Minor Action. The zone persists until the end of your next turn and you can make the Visions of Avarice Secondary Attack.


To Hit rolls and where they get may moved to:

G1 = Total to Hit: Willpower: 23. Highly likely gets pulled to square D27 (the zone square, highlighted in dark orange 1 on the Google sheet), so I'll take the liberty of moving him.

G3 = Total to Hit: Willpower: 34 (natural 20 number 1!). Defo gets pulled to square D28.

G4 = Total to Hit: Willpower: 34 (natural 20 number 2!). Defo gets pulled to square E28.

G2 = Total to Hit: Willpower: 12. Miss.

All of those hit (G1, G3 and G4) are now subject to a Feat:

Phantom Echoes: When you use an arcane illusion power and hit a target, you gain combat advantage against that target until the end of your next turn. If the illusion power has an effect that a save can end, you instead gain combat advantage against the target until it saves against that effect.

Also, their saving throws against being Immobilised are penalised due to another Feat:

Lotte, Lilli's familiar in Passive mode, grants : Enemies take a -1 penalty to saving throws against your arcane powers that immobilise or slow them.

Minor Action: Lilli Sustains the spell ready for the Visions of Avarice Secondary Attack which can be used next turn.

ACTION POINT! (I'm leaving Illarion's power boost for someone else.)

Standard Action:

Lilli casts Phantom Echoes in square D26.

This will effect all the gargoyles and Max (sorry Max, but it shouldn't hurt.)

Phantom Echoes (Encounter Standard Area Burst 2 within 10 squares ✦ Arcane, Fear, Illusion)
Target: Each creature in the burst.
Effect: Each creature is slowed until the end of your next turn. Also until the end of your next turn, the first time the target makes an attack, it must make a saving throw. If the saving throw fails, you can use a Free Action to change the target of its attack to a different creature within the range of that attack. If the target hits one of its allies with that attack, that ally takes 5 extra damage.

Effect notes: G4 and G2 will probably try and attack. Hopefully they will both fails saves and then attack G1 instead.

Max, though slowed, will not be subjected to the rest of the effect by Lilli (even if he fails his safe, he doesn't have to be made to do anything with a Free Action - can use a Free Action to change the target..., not must .

Move Action: Lilli moves from G24 to I19.

Notes:
Shimmering Cloth Armour - Lilli does not provoke opportunity attacks when she makes ranged or area attacks.

Feyleaf Sandals - If Lilli falls and is about to take a punishing amount of damage, her Feyleaf Sandals will likely save her.

Lilli is likely to use Shield first as an Interrupt versus attacks against AC and Reflex defence before resorting to using Fade Away.

Conditions: None.

OOC: Hope Son of Meepo / Fhangrim doesn't mind my use of him as a lure for Phantom Echoes, as I think there's a chance the gargoyles will damage each other.

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

OOC: Before I go, I'd like to know if any of the gargoyles have been killed yet.

Aaagggghhhhhhhhh!!!! The cleric shrieks in terror as she runs away from the combat. Soon the terror subsides and she regains control. What...what the heck happened! She regains her bearings, then immediately rushes back to the battle. Scanning first to see if her allies need healing and seeing that they do not and ignoring her own wounds, she attempts to weekend the beholder. She closes her eyes briefly and mumbles a prayer under her breath. She then bows her head but opens her eyes which now are blazing bright silver with the gaze of her eyes targeting the beholder.

OOC: Max is a conjuration, not a creature, so he isn't affected at all.

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

Oh hell! All of you will owe me a beer after this!

Mikara runs, headstrong, into the fray, nearly colliding with the nearest gargoyle; however, right before the expected impact, she halts, suddently belching out a fireball that engulfs all the statuesque grotesques. The first two see her coming and duck, exposing the two in the rear to the brunt of the inferno.

When the gargoyle in front raises its head, she stares it down, ready drive an arrow through its head with her bare hands.

"You're next, crater-face!"

OOC: I have a feeling Mik is going to need some healing next turn.
