Yep, I'm delaying until then, then.

Okay so if you both delay, then I will

MOVE: AI13
STANDARD: Warp Space, close burst 5. Taking Taali to AN14 and Landra to AN17 for the flank? If there are specific spaces you'd prefer within the burst 5 from AI13 then go ahead and state them. Map is here btw > https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15QcolvPW2fUXOGNaVlpML-gWS2htAU3AmmKD123VHKY/pubhtml

MINOR: Might as well try to bop the GC9 minion on the head with my White Well Transformation secondary

Well Yuriel can still heal and I'll be hitting with a healing power anyway so no worries. I think I go after Robo anyway right? If I don't then I'll delay to enable this mad scheme.

edit: oh we're on the same count. Well then a very brief delay! And I'm good with AN17 to set up the flank.

Nah, if he'd delayed or readied an action I'd have mentioned it in the update. When it comes to game mechanics like that the cards are always on the table.

Incidentally, I hope the players running him are keeping in mind Yuriel's encounter power that lets him subtract 8 from an enemy's successful save or add 8 to an ally's failed save as an interrupt!

Doesn't look he is, unfortunately. Anyway, you have until my next update to decide!

Also!

Dallan, Soonmot: which of you two is marking the hezrou?

Soonmot: where is that extra +2 on your attack roll from? You're at +29 base plus 2 for having combat advantage, but as far as I can tell that should be it.

Taali's in better shape than Landra, so I'll defer to Soonmot on whether she should mark or not.

Healing at some point, now or later, is probably a good idea. I can't do much except a second wind on myself.

Landra doesn't have any Weird Bloodied Tricks and has used her Weird Healing Trick, so yeah I agree with Yuriel tossing out heals but I'll leave it to your judgment as to their target.

Klingon: the top of the turret is too far away for Void Assumption.

The stat block looks good! It is missing a few powers though, at least in the lists up top if not entirely (Inspiring Example, Aid the Injured, Unintended Feint).

Edit: as for Yuriel's standard action, you could have him use his Second Wind perhaps? His gloves' item power also lets him lose a healing surge to cause an adjacent ally to regain some hit points, which would be an option to help Taaliala out. It'd just be a shame to let that action go to waste!

Ah, I guess AR-15/16 are unstable then? What about that block starting around AL-15/16? Is that a structure of some kind? I'm guessing so from the shadow. Regardless, we have until the start of Yuriel's next turn to decide, so there's no rush there.

I edited the utility powers into the statblock, thanks. I also noticed that the Tactician's Word feat will give Landra +4 to her next attack roll too. Wasn't noted in the CB power card so I missed it at first.

And I mean, you're right, it is a shame to let an action go to waste. I don't know about using Second Wind during a turn the defense bonuses won't matter, but maybe. I thought Taali had some fun bloodied stuff she wanted to use? If Soonmot wants her to be healed though I'd be happy to.

I suppose AR14 would work, though Yuriel would still be within the hezrou's reach there.

AH15:AL17 is a kind of communications mast/structure that's both too beyond the range of Void Assumption and pretty much impossible to actually stand on.

He also heals her for an extra d6 thanks to the property on his gloves!

Second Wind would allow him to regain some hit points, at least. Or he could use the Aid Attack action to grant an ally of his choice a +2 bonus to their next attack roll against the githyanki armsman next to him, in case anyone was planning on attacking the guy? Which I don't think is the case. Oh well, I got nothing!

Well that was the biggest wet fart of a level 15 Daily ever. And of course it happens when Yuriel doesn't exist so he can't use Unintended Feint. Orokos you have made a powerful enemy this day, rolling me the same number three times in a loving row and wasting my crit on a minion. :argh:

I'm afraid a close blast doesn't quite work like that. It fills (in this case) a 5x5 area that is adjacent to its origin square, i.e. the one Marianna is in, and the origin square explicitly is not within the blast. This means you could use it to attack the three enemies next to Marianna or you could attack the ultrodemon schemer and the hezrou, but catching them all in the blast is not possible. (It would be if it this were a close burst, of course.)

On a more positive note, there was no need to roll a saving throw against the immobilisation effect as it lasted purely until the end of your turn. :v:

Oh great. In that case I'll make it the 3 enemies adjacent, since I missed the Hezrou anyway.

Although finally remembering how close blasts work does mean I can potentially start using Thunderwave without hitting the rest of the party. Provided I'm not ded.

Guess what? I actually don't have anything that activates when I'm bloodied, I don't know where I got that idea from. I just do +2 damage to bloodied foes. Oh well!

Anyways, I want to use Battering Ram to move to AM 13, this should bring the herz to AN/AO 14 and knock those two assholes prone. It doesn't do damage to the gith, but maybe it'll kill the minion?

If this is no good, I'll do something else.

Well, you'd provoke OAs from the two githyanki next to Taaliala by doing that, for starters. Your call whether to risk it! (On an unrelated note, remember you'll have to take a minor action to sustain the grab on the hezrou.)

Dallan: being in AO19 doesn't result in Landra's flanking with Alauda. You effectively need to be on opposite sides of an enemy to flank it – i.e. right now, Marianna is in the only square from which anyone could establish a flanking position with Alauda. Not that it mattered in this case! (Edit: it also looks like you didn't take into account the damage bonus from Bravo's Prey on the second attack? I got you though!)

Not as such. You have a couple of powers that let you use a grabbed creature as a shield against melee/ranged attacks, but as they're immediate actions you can't use them on your own turn.

For the grab to end prematurely you'd have to get dazed/stunned (or knocked unconscious/killed :v:) or forcibly moved away from the grabbed creature. Simply getting hit doesn't affect the grab at all.
