Ah, you are correct. I must not have updated the defenses in my spreadsheet for Dunor when you switched classes. I have them right now so it shouldn't happen again. I will update this status I put in next with the correct hitpoints.

Thank you. Having more hit points makes Dunor happy. :)

Okay, so I did some research.
As a hybrid ranger, I can take the Hybrid Talent feat to get the Beastmaster ranger path ability.
Which is an animal companion with a permanent -1 to attacks and defenses - *but* can be a bear!

. . . The problem is, the beast powers in Martial Power 1 are all with the expectation that you're in melee fighting alongside your companion, not a ranged shooter like Galadren.  And to get the bear to do anything, I'd need to take one of the Beast at-will powers, which would consume the one Ranger At-will that I have currently.

It's definitely a sub-optimal choice simply because of the melee focus of most of the powers, and I would need to take it at level 4 because I need to take Superior Crossbow at level 2 so that I can finally make use of that nice magic crossbow we got, which will free up my minor actions instead of *having* to use them to Reload all the damn time.

But if you guys *really* want that Tactical Assault Bear, it is possible within the rules.

Just make some good Nature checks to train the bear normally over several months. :P

Have an early meeting at work so I do not have time this morning to put a response up and kick off another round. Tulugaq did miss against the drakes fort. I will get a response up this evening after work.

So, did I hit the drake or not? The drake "Shrieked" but didn't seem to take any damage. Sorry, just seemed a bit unclear.

It got hit. Notice the damage taken went from 5 to 15.

Guess I really didn't convey the hit well in the text though. Was hoping between your damage and shandien using promise of the storm and and action point that the last drake would be downed but shandiens second attack failed.  :rolleyes

No, it didn't. The post before my turn said it was down 15, and the post after said the same thing. Thus my confusion.

Venn is correct.

I hit the second drake (the one that's still alive) for 7 using Inevitable Shot after I missed the wound-one.

Damage Count: 7

Then Theo blasted the wounded one and had his damage arc over to the second one for another 8.

Damage Count: 7+8=15

Then Dunor ran up and slashed it for 10.

Damage Count: 15 + 10 = 25

Then Shandien ran up and missed with his action point attack for 0.

Damage Count: 25 + 0 = 25

And then Tanthalus fried it with a 17 damage CRITICAL HIT!

Damage Count: 25 + 17 = 42 damage.

Is it dead yet?  Is it dead yet?  :D

I think it has around 48 hp with bloodied value being at or around 19. That was also why I chose to apply my Dex bonus damage to the arc rather than the main attack, since I figured our dear Swordmage would do enough damage if he hit, thus "wasting" damage if I didn't arc. Even if it goes against the conventional "concentrate all attacks until one is dead".
But I'm sure our dear DM don't mind having the monsters act a few more times.

So, I don't think so, not quite  :tongue


Never mind me and my wiseassery :rolleyes

Not sure why I had it down 5 instead of 7. But no matter. Yes it would be dead in that case. I will make the updated later today.

Does the pact boon and the other bonus stack?

Since Lance of Faith is a Power bonus and the Pact Boon in un-typed they would stack together. Which is awesome but as your fellow players adeptly pointed out above, now completely irrelevant as the monster died already.

Damn . . . I can't recall if someone can Aid Another on a Thievery check, but if so . . . is anyone capable of doing so to push that lockpicking result over 20?

Couple questions:

1) Was there enough of Kirtanis left that we could scrape some of him into a bag and get him a Raise Dead back in town?

2) Which door did that goblin guy that we fought with the drakes come from?  West door?  Are those doors still open?

Answer 1 - Yes there is, though he has a giant gaping holes in his corpse ala Alien's style chest buster. You would have up to 30 days to have Raise Dead cast. It is a level 8 ritual and you would have to find someone that knows it and would be willing to cast it for a price. Now Gentle Repose would lengthen the time you have to 150 days (which Tanthalus may know it, I don't remember). Cost of 10 gp in components or Residium for that.

Answer 2 - It was the west doors. The doors swing shut slowly on their own unless held open. Which I don't think you have left any doors on their hinges long enough in this place yet for that to happen on it's own yet.. :lmao.
