Yay!  Sorry for making you wait so long :/

Not an issue at all. Just excited to finally be a panda.

:V  Yes one of Amare's hidden abilities is a modified version of "Detect Life" though it's once per day and lacks direction or clear range.

Phelan rolls a natural 20 to heal Drex's Black Boils, only to realise that the plague has spread to all of his most valuable inner organs. Drex dies in the party's arms. They abandon the Weyr and go into mourning.
Alternatively, Drex is healed and life is good.

@Cebakaala: Actually all it means is Drex will be receiving treatment during his next extended rest.  During which he will begin to improve as Phelan's Heal check is used instead of Drex's Endurance on the test.  So Drex'll move down on his own disease track for Black Boils.  This process needs to be repeated until Drex is cured.

Okay, that is good news.

@Author - presumably Willa has her hands free, as she had to touch the symbols?  So I can still cast spells from my harness?

@Willa: yes she does so cast away!

Strategy discussion,  some comments are jokes:

Jubei:Okay, here's how its going to go down. Jubei uses his Call of Challenge, Divine Sanctions all the damn things. They ignore the challenge and attack their targets anyway because they're following dumb, preprogrammed orders and take the Sanction damage, and that's when we find out that they all have only 1 HP and all instantly die ending the encounter immediately again.

It is only burst 3 though so it would not get all of them.

Any other ideas @Willa?

I'm somewhat suspicious of why Willa does not have her own weapon to fight.  Its either because she is an umbrean or because her feet have yet to touch the ground.  So, if she can, I might try to keep her from 'landing' until we have cleared some of the enemies out.  1 less enemy might not seem like much when there are already so many, but it may help.

I was also wondering if Willa could communicate with the ward (actually wanted to do it before she entered the code, but I missed my opportunity).  The Narayah said it was sentient.

The Enemy won initiative, I am a tad busy today so I will post the first round tommorrow.

@Author - just wondering if Soinr is amongst any of these Narayah?

@Willa: No she isn't, I'd have name dropped her.

@Willa: Don't attack N1 if you're planning to. The death effect could end up destroying the crane and potentially killing the Narayah inside. Ceba still has an interrupt move he can use on it to kill it without any downside.

@Phelan Understood :)

@Willa: I know it would usually seem that 13 would miss on an attack but keep in mind Non-AC defenses at this level are still rather low with some enemies having Fort/Ref/Will of 9 even.

I don't design encounters around the biggest most boss monster I can throw at you.  I goal with encounters is to not make it a pure slugfest but rather have it be a puzzle you have to figure out asap or suffer for it.

Yeah that's fine - it was my fault for not considering it :)

Please note that combat did not end. Something else is clearly still coming, you have 1 round to prepare.  In 12 hours from this post I will advance the clock.  If you have not made your preparations before then, the DM's mercy will not avail you.

Additionally note that the brown borders at the top of the map is the dust cloud zone, it will obviously move over the next few turns.

Sorry, but I don't think I see any brown borders.

Oh wait - the thin, dotted grid-lines?  Glad you mentioned the borders.  That was really hard to see!

I'll try to make more visible ones.

That would be great, thanks.  Though just letting us know should be enough.

@Ceba - Sorry - being picky here.  I'd be surprised if both of your attacks didn't hit, but you should probably state that you only get the extra wisdom damage if you hit with both swings.  Also you have written +wis on the 2nd attack rather than +str.

@Everyone - I have no idea what to do with Willa.  I cannot see her surviving if she enters the storm and gets swarmed by enemies in melee.

@Willa: Hang tight for a sec. I have a plan for this. Trust me. :D

Thanks for the guidance Phelan.  My first attack was pretty bad still, but it helped Willa to get into position on her 2nd!

@Author.  I am sorry to keep bothering you, but I think I need a ruling.  The Rod of Corruption says that I can curse all enemies within 5 squares of an enemy that dies under my curse.  It does not say that I need to be able to see those enemies.  However, I do need to see an enemy to place my curse manually.  So, do you think I need to be able to see enemies to spread curses using the rod of corruption, or does it work regardless (like some sort of burst attack, I suppose)?

Thanks :)

When in doubt if you can see someone under these conditions, all you have to do, as a non-action. Is make a Perception check equal or greater than 5 + 1 for each square between you and the thing you'd like to spot.
