Mission 2 - Carnivorous Gardens (Feb 6 - Feb 9)

[Kadi]

[Honestly, with her currently planned power selection I doubt 1PP Cognizance Crystals will help Leah much. Wild Surging from them should be impossible and Surge Blasts are better than 1PP attack powers. I suppose I could use it for an emergency defensive power, but then I'd rather have more healing always or so from somebody else.]

"Ooo, nasty," Leah coos when Ahz takes out the vials and readies her bow.

[Zanaikin]

( everyone round out your preparations; post your Initiative and first action )

[Sajuuk]

"I have on more repair left for the day," Ahz says in response to Goodberry's question.

(Initiative: 1d20+3 = 13)
(Carefully place defoliant in adjacent square (as in placing it on the ground - not dropping it), use Servitor to summon a and have it start throwing the defoliant, targeting 7, then 6, then 4, then 5. One defoliant to each plant. Aether elemental can throw objects 480' as a ranged attack.)
(Attack [Telekinetic Throw]: 1d20+5 = 17)
(Damage [Telekinetic Throw]: 1d8+2 = 3)
(Damage [Defoliant]: 1d6 = 3 damage)
(Plant 7 has to make a DC 20 Fortitude save or suffer 1 point of STR and CON damage. Plant 6 takes 1 damage from splash.)

[Kadi]

Leah goes through her usual motions again. Get a free field of fire, focus all her senses on her target and shoot.

[Studied Target on BB5]
[Initiative: 1d20+7 = 11]
[Attack BB5: 1d20 + 7 + 1 = 25. Damage: 1d8 + 1 = 7]

[Mr_Praetorian]

(Initiative: 1d20+4= 21)

Having had his fill of combat with the plants, Gorin keeps his spear ready, and his eyes open for any further ambushes.

(Active Perception: 1d20+11= 26)

[Laharl]

(1PP cog crystals are actually potentially useful for Adoett if the other psionic folks don't want them...lots of good 1PP buffs in psychic warrior.)

(Init: 1d20=4)

Adoett likewise keeps watch for other threats.

(Active Perception: 1d20+10=24)

[Squall255]

(It seemed greedy of me to take both of them All yours then Dave)

Goodberry looks a little horrified at the suggestion of using the Defoliant. "While it would be effective against our target, I can't allow us to destroy the innocent plants here. Not to mention what it would do to the soil for the next year or so. Maybe if were were able to be more precise in deploying it, but to be honest us even having the stuff causes my branches to shake a little."

Initiative: 1d20+2 = 5

First round: Charge BB5 (ending in V5) and touch with

attack: 1d20+4+2 = 22 8 untyped damage, 7 healing (to be distributed when actions resolve based on enemy actions before my 5 init.

While charging he calls out "Oh I hope none of these inanimate plants shoot at me while I run down this path!"

[Zanaikin]

Gorin and Adoett spots shrubbery, and plants; just plants, no bushy surprises.

Ahz's aether elemental tosses a defoliant vial that hits dead on, causing a chunk of the plant to simply die. However the plant seems to have resisted its worst effects. Its splash also killed a lot of the nearby shrubbery that was concealing the small bush, and even a slab of the tree's bark began to peel off.

Leah hits her mark and sends an arrow straight through the main stalk.

Koko is doing target practice and... not particularly well at it.

Goodberry charges in and causes several flowers to shrivel up as he drains the life out of them.

The bloody-crimson flowers turn to face Goodberry, finally realizing that they're under attack.

( Gorin > Ahz > Leah, go again. )

[Mr_Praetorian]

"I thought the plan was to hit them from range?" Gorin asked gruffly, as he watched Goodberry charge towards the plants.

(Maintaining Active Perception: 1d20+11= 23)

[Sajuuk]

"The cover blocking one of them is gone, no more defoliant for now," Ahz clarifies, not wanting to throw defoliant near the plant-based warforged, ordering the elemental to fly up and start attacking BB4.
(Attack [charge]: 1d20+6 = 10)
(Damage: 1d4+1 = 2 bludgeoning damage)

Seeing Koko's difficulty, Ahz moves down and enhances her sling with his magic.
(Legacy Weapon to make it a +1 Sling for 1 minute)

[skychan]

[Kadi]

With her target engaged in melee, again, Leah switches targets to something free, again.

[Studied Target BB6. If dead BB7]
[Attack BB6/7: 1d20 +7+1 = 20. Damage: 1d8 +1 = 5]

[Zanaikin]

Gorin still see no surprises.

The elemental slaps BB4's branches around to... no great effect.

Kadi nails BB6 with another arrow.

BB4 turns its flowers and opens a volley of seed darts at the Aether Elemental (1hit: 4 damage)
BB5 does the same towards Goodberry (1hit: 4 damage)
BB6 does the same towards Goodberry (2hits, 1crit: 4 damage, 3 damage, 8 damage)
BB7 does the same towards Goodberry (1hit: 3 damage)

Koko hit this time, even if her meager strength meant the rock merely broke off a few leaves.

( next: Goodberry > Adoett > Gorin > Ahz > Leah )

[Kadi]

With her arm finally warming up, Leah keeps shooting her target.

[Attack BB6: 1d20 +7+1 = 19 Damage: 1d8 +1 = 7]
