Everyone except Rose and Thunderbird must roll to wake up from the Ripper induced deep sleep, a long-range effect of the Ripper's aura. Make a Con bonus + Level roll DC15 to wake up and act next round, otherwise roll again each round with a cumulative +2 bonus.

Also, everyone except Rose and Thunderbird roll Init.

Thoughts

So, from the rulebook: "Your Thoughts Are My Thoughts."

Effect: Charisma modifier psychic damage, and you slide the target a number of squares equal to its speed. The target then makes a basic attack against a creature of your choice, with a +4 power bonus to the attack roll and the damage roll.


Couple of points require GM adjudication.

First, can Bedlam force the Ripper to move past T-Bird and Rose within the confines of the tunnel? (I assumed there was room.)

Second, do T-Bird and Rose get Attacks of Opportunity as the Ripper moves through their zones of control?

Finally, instead of forcing the Ripper to make an attack (against a non-existent creature of my choice), can Bedlam force the Ripper to make a double move? (leaving it at C13)

Could you have it attack itself?

Thoughts

Bedlam, you can't slide the Ripper past the others in the tunnel, but you can move him into Thunderbird and give Thunderbird an attack of opportunity.

Also, because of the Ripper's strange hybrid archetype (a robot constantly adding biological parts until they rot away), you are able to convince it to attack itself.

Finally the Psychic damage is x3. For the Ripper to be violated this way is unthinkable, and you feel its utter hatred and determination for revenge through you link.

Thunderbird, make the AoO, Bedlam you may roll for the Ripper's attack.

So.. a silly question... Arcus' Fiery Aura seems to indicate he is shrouded in flames as anyone who ends their movement adjacent to him suffers 5 fire damage. Does that not at least provide torch illumination?

Good point! Full illumination up to 4 squares away from you, -4 to hit up to 8 squares and -8 thereafter.

Thunderbird:
Asking as I was not sure if it used it's standard action when it attacked itself.

Not according to the 4E action economy. But you know what, screw it!. Lets go with realism over rules. The Ripper gets a standard move only.

OK, Arcus got the first post in, so he has moved up to engage the Ripper in melee. That means that no one can get past Arcus and ranged attacks are -4 per person between you and the Ripper.

Rose and Thunderbird, you're up!

The joys of playing 3.5/Pathfinder for so long.

Next question.  How tall is the ceiling? (As in, can I fly over them?)

You can make a single move to get just behind Arcus, then use this!

Plant Utility (encounter)
Instant Grove: Close burst 3, difficult terrain for enemies, melee attack range
increaes by 2 and you have cover. You are immobilised and immune to forced move

Difficult terrain for the Ripper will slow him right down!

Don't stop immediately behind Arc us as in adjacent... you'll take 5 fire damage! He will need another action to turn that off!

Re: Thoughts

 Yaa, she will take extra damage from a fire shield but if it slows ripper down it will be worth it.

 Redo post.

Sadly it's too low, just  over six feet high.

Ummm... Arcus did just that...he flew over Thunderbird and Rose.  Are you saying the corridor is too cramped for winged flight to work ?

Re: Thoughts

Well I did say that you can pass through everyone on your moves, otherwise it gets too complicated. But now you're in melee with the Reaper the positions have to be fixed.

Re: Thoughts

Folks, should have given an attack of opportunity to Arcus and Rose (as her power gives her one extra reach) as the Reaper ran away.

FYI you must Shift to avoid an AoO, but the Reaper couldn't due to Rose's roots' grip.

Rose and Arcus, please post the results of your basic attack in this thread, to avoid cluttering up the main one.

Rose, you are at -2 on the roll for attacking over Arcus in the narrow tunnel.

Re: Thoughts

Rose, your lashing creepers is burst 2, so you can't reach the Reaper from where you are after your first move. You can make another move and be next to the Reaper to get an AoO next round. Or perhaps reload your crossbow. Or something else! Lemme know, you can look at the combat map to see your position.

NB the Reaper has a move of 6.

Re: Thoughts

 Not sure what the plan is if the monster is in the water, so i am waiting to see if Bedlam has some other idea to provoke the monster to come after us on land.

 Since it appears the monster is concerned with staying alive(no berserker blood). I dont see it wanting to come out after us in its hurt state.
