what's DMI stand for?

Daily Magic Item. You only get to use so many daily-usage magic items per day depending on level or tier in 4th edition, I can't recall which. Usually they're much more useful abilities, but they're limited much like Daily class powers are. I usually just stick to At-Will, Encounter, or always-on traits in my magic items, unless it's really, really useful (like life-savingly good).

I go in for surgery the 28th, and will likely be in hospital 4 days.  My sister said she'd bring me a tablet so I can keep in touch, so hopefully I can still check in.

Sorry, been tied up for a few days and not much use in the posting world. Yes DMI stands for Daily Magic Item, basically tracking the number of uses left for daily magic items powers. So if I have two items with daily powers and I use one, then I can't use the other. Though I have to look because I think reaching milestones may affect it as well (maybe I am wrong).

Working on a post now for Theo.

bhu, thanks for letting us know. I will be thinking about you and keep hope for only the best outcomes for your surgery and a speedy recovery.

Good luck bhu! 

And yeah, each milestone adds 1 to the Daily Magic Item Usage.  Otherwise you'd only ever be able to use 1 at Heroic, 2 at Paragon, and 3 at Epic.
And there's a *lot* of items out there with daily uses.

Action points are used to grant an extra action in a round. PCs can use only one AP per combat. You start with a single AP after an extended rest and then gain an AP at each milestone reached. This helps offset the need to take an extended rest often to get back your daily powers. When you take an extended rest you lose all but one of your accumulated APs, so it is good to use them.

Now would definitely be a good time to use one.

As above it allows you to take an extra action during your turn, whether its a Standard, Move, or Minor is up to you. Most use it to use an additional power for an extra burst of damage. Thespias used on earlier this fight and used an extra encounter power to make both him and Dunor fly, only Dunor was still stunned so it didnt work out well.

I am pending bhu's return before I proceed since his use of an action point could impact the latter turns. Espcially if hits the ghoul and kills it or the zombie holding Dunor.

I do not think Dunor has been able to use a Second Wind on his own. He has been stunned or unconscious practically the whole fight.

Also someone has the potions you all picked up recently as well. Just not sure who's pack they are in at the moment. I think you may have handed them all to Tanthalus but I would have to find the post where that occurred.

I don't know why I thought that one of them had left Dunor alone...

Yes, that was the one I was going after anyway.

The zombies are practically mindless and they have their hands on e a prone, nearly defenseless meal. They will keep trying to hang on to that meal.

The good thing is this is the first time practically all fight that Dunor can do something other than just save. Curious if he will try to break the grab and move out or if he will risk fighting the remaining Zombie off.

Wow, Dunor packs quite the single round punch. I will have to check when I get home but I am fairly certain any forced movement ends grabs. I think Dunor's first attack may have bloodied the zombie but will confirm when I get home.
