Oh I forgot Zelvo's necrotic save

[Blackferne]

I believe we are waiting on Tony.

[Furiel]

The he'll if I'm running out in front to get swarmed by both rot beetle swarms...

Can I delay my full turn until after they move this round with the intention of moving into a flank and attacking the northernmost swarm after they have reached us?

[Blackferne]

Would that be like skipping this round, then taking a double turn next round?

[Jimer Lins]

Sounds like he just wants to delay his action until their move.

[Furiel]

Basically I want to have a readied action for this round to move into a flank and attack the swarm closest to me that's attacking zelvo once they have moved up to attack him.

[Blackferne]

Ok. That's fine.

[Furiel]

So it's a swarm, I'm not up on swarm rules but can I still get combat advantage and sneak attack on a swarm?

[Whiteness]

I believe so.

Swarm: The swarm can occupy another creature's space and
vice versa, and the swarm can move through any opening large
enough for a Tiny insect. The swarm can't regain hit points or
gain temporary hit points.

[Blackferne]

Other thing about swarms is they have some resistance to single attacks but have vulnerability to AoE and group type attacks.

[Furiel]

Tony moves himself into a flank with swarm 1 and attacks with Riposte Strike vs AC

Attack: [dice]0[/dice]
Damage: [dice]1[/dice]

If they attack me back I respond with my riposte

Attack: [dice]2[/dice]
Damage: [dice]3[/dice]

[Furiel]

Crit roll: [dice]0[/dice]

[Blackferne]

Crit is max damage (34 points), but they are supposed to get half damage on all melee and ranged attack (17), but that seems unfittign for a crit, so the 34 damage will stick. However non crits on the beetles will usually be half (close and area attacks however get a bonus 10 points of damage due to vulnerability)

[Blackferne]

The swarms launch towards Zelvo in a barrage of tiny tiny pincers and legs and wings.

1 vs Zelvo reflex
[dice]0[/dice]

dmg [dice]5[/dice]

[Blackferne]

Victae takes 8.

Good guys up.

[Jimer Lins]

Trinal moves to get a shot at one of the swarms, hoping to get it off of Zelvo while the other remains flanked.

Dragonfrost, d20+13 vs fort, damage 1d8+10 + knockback on hit.

Attack: 9+13=22
Damage: 1+10=11

[Blackferne]

Truly a sight to see, the bolt flies through the swarm having no effect.

[Jimer Lins]

does that mean it was a miss or that it's invulnerable to the attack?

[Blackferne]

You barely missed. Though had you hit, noncritical it would be half damage. Tactically your best approach is the spray attack you do, every hit gets +10dmg outright.

[Furiel]

Keep stabbing tiny beetles

Attack swarm 1 with Rogue's Luck vs AC
Attack: [dice]0[/dice]
Damage: [dice]1[/dice]

If I miss I get a second attack vs AC
Attack: [dice]2[/dice]
Damage: [dice]3[/dice]

[Blackferne]

Tony skewers plenty of tiny bugs with his sword. That swarm seems to have plenty of goo on the floor (bloodied).

[Whiteness]

Syric moves forward and shifts between the banshee and Victae before swinging his blade.
