In reply to Storyteller (msg # 46):

OK, if it missed then Khalid's attack hit him for the listed damage, and I may have to think about whether to take my aegis attack against him or the warder.

I'm getting some conflicting information, and while I'm pretty sure Bronzie is occupying the K8-J9 squares, I'm just wanting to make absolutely certain I understand where I am about to try and send this big guy. Because if I can, I'm going to tell it to go to its room and think about what it just did.

The placement is correct on the map that is so no need to spend more time concerned about this.
Go by what the map shows, by all means.

Excellent. So far, so good - I'm surprised that didn't miss. That means it will successfully moonwalk back to its room at the start of its turn. (Which was going to happen anyways even on a miss, but now it has to make a save or I might do it again on its next turn.)

Grock, to reiterate, I healed you myself this time, so confusion should be minimal. You'll probably still be bloodied when your turn starts, unless you are one point over that margin.

I’m fine with the healer adjusting my health score when it happens in their post. No overstep happened. I will post later today.

So to clarify, my attack triggered the interrupt rather than Khalid's so Khalid did damage and can still see the bastard while I did not and can't?

It's an immediate action, so he'd only get to use it once per round. That's probably going to be against whomever attacks him first unless the GM says he'll hold it against a specific attack/enemy.

I'm talking about the round that's nearing completion now..

So did he just use Ranged attacks in melee with me? Can I still see him? Did my attack last round hit or not? I'm so confused...

He used a burst power, which can be both so to speak. It does have range, but used close. Nothing should prevent him from doing that as I read it.

That said, yes your attacks hit. He is only invisible to Khalid.

So whenever I do my turn I can reapply the damage and vulnerability from my attack last round that you had removed?

Ah, yes, if that is what the power does, by all means. Sounds like a slip up on my part!

OAs: If it's typed as an "Area burst" power then it will provoke (regardless of whether it's used against adjacent enemies). If it's a "Close burst" (or "Close blast") then it won't.

AFAIK, Magic Missile is a Ranged power so it would provoke. (It doesn't need to involve an attack roll - being a Ranged power used in threat is enough.)

The Magic Missile is the Ranged Attack I was referring to yeah.

Grock is going to close the door on the Warder and hold the doors closed while everyone else piles on the boss.

Day two illness. I will let you know when I can brain again and post.

Day three, illness. Optimism of recovery this day seems premature. Stomach still declaring war on all that trespass on its domain.

Ouch! get well soon mate! The game will be here when you return :)

Well, I am not dead, and my brain works again. You take your defensive victories where they come up.

Well, I don't think that anything Jhartael might do would turn that miss into a hit.

Either way, I'm not sure that we can pull this off with our current resources.

The defensive interrupt triggers on targeting not on hit so you need to see if they're still visible to you.

With Grock holding down the Warder, we should be able to have the remaining four pummel the boss quickly with a heal or two thrown out if possible otherwise some people may have to do a quick Second Wind while we outnumber them.

I have one Majestic Word left, I think. After that, I am empty on healing tricks.

Well, actually...

I have one left. Stirring Shout, aka Pinata Mode - Activated, which I was saving for about this moment.

Hey Jhaartael, you forgot to subtract your damage from Paldemar’s hp in your post.

Still waiting for Rynoth to see if they got hit by pluck the minds eye this round since they procced it by targeting the boss because I don't want to waste my primary damage ability by getting it procced on me...
