So, wait...

I'm not allowed to post here when it's my own team fighting? :P

Tactics
Since I don't know what box I'm starting in (don't know which of those sblocks is for my team), you'll have to rotate this to match.

Sethala starts with both battleaxes in hand, Aventhressa with shortsword and dagger. Single-move with stealth checks as below (note Aventhressa's Fleeting Ghost utility power), make perception checks if no enemy is visible, and ready Deft Strike for Aventhressa and Charge for Sethala against the first enemy in range.

Argor move and take full defense
Lyta move and activate armor of agathys

argor will use no opening against the first attack with CA made in this fight.

tactics
Aventhressa should be able to move to the first stop, stealth check, then charge Lyta, hitting her with CA and Sneak Attack damage. If not, move to the first stop and ready Deft Strike against the first enemy in range.

Regardless of what Aventhressa does, Sethala will move to the first stop, quarry, and charge Argor.

Aventhressa remains in hiding for now.

Sethala moves out, quarries Argor and misses him with a charge.

LinkN
Avanthressa wouldnt be able to sneak attack with a charge because there is no more cover on the place she would attack from. => she would be autospotted before she could attack. I went with the readied deft strike instead.

actions

Argor will shift and use steel serpent strike, dragon breath, AP + steel serpent strike.

Lyta will teleport to the other side of sethala, curse, take the OA, and use
vampiric embrace. (note that the oa damage would be deducted before vampiric temp hp kick in) hopefully that barrage +ca + armor of agathys will take my opponent down.

as usual, stop in between if i drop my opponent before.

You wrote that Argor wants to use Steel Serpent Strike twice. What do you want him to do instead?

i meant crushing blow of course.

Argor shifts around the corner, misses Sethala with a Steel Serpent Strike, hits her with a Dragon Breath and spends an action point to hit her with crushing blow again. Sethala becomes bloodied.

Lyta uses Ethereal Stride to teleport to the other side of Sethala, curses him and hits him with vampiric embrace. Sethala hits with her OA, but goes down after the attack.

On her turn, Sethala takes damage from Lytas Armor of Agathys, but she is still alive.

LinkN
Sethala takes 51 damage and is at -14

Rules
I'm pretty sure you can charge and still retain hidden status from the charge, actually. PHB2 page 222, under "Not Remaining Hidden":
If you take an action that causes you not to remain hidden, you retain the benefits of being hidden until you resolve the action. You can't become hidden as part of the same action.

It's probably too late to change anything so I'm not going to insist on that, and I'm not sure if a charge counts because it's a single standard action, but it's move and then a basic attack, so...

Lyta takes second wind.

Argor bases Aventhressa and misses her with a sure strike, but marks her anyway.

At the start of her turn Sethala takes damage from armor of Agathys and dies.

At the start of her turn Aventhressa takes damage from armor of Agathys.

Dazing Strike on Lyta, then move as such. Yes, I provoke an attack of opportunity, hopefully he'll miss.

Avanthressa attacks Lyta with dazing strike but gets a hit from Argors axe for doing so, which makes her bloodied. She also hits and Lyta is dazed. After that attack she moves away and dodges Argors OA on the way.

whitebaron
13 damage to Lyta. She is at 26hp

whitebaron

1: lyta also gains an OA when he moves away (unarmed... but with curse if it accidentally hits)

there's not many places he could have gone - lyta moves 2 s 1 e and looks out for the opponent. base if possible and use frigid darkness.

argors movement will depend upon the map presented.

move to south of avanthressa (yeah, lets take that oa) and use sure strike again.

Argor moves south, dodging Avanthressas OA and uses Sure Strike to land a critical hit and downs the rogue.

Yeah... figured this wasn't going to be a win. Thinking I'm going to remake this team a bit, hopefully get a better record than 2 and 5.

Good game, whitebaron.

For future reference though, since no one else mentioned it: Lyta wouldn't get an OA at the end there, since she's dazed.
#27

whitebaron

May 24, 2009 17:49:43
yeah, well, lw explained that to me already via chat - i simply missed the daze. that's why lyta is also only moving.

Gotcha.

Just didn't see it here, so I didn't know if you guys got it resolved or not.
