Alright, alright.

Edited, again

So I want to get this straight, does Surestrike do ONLY weapon damage without strength bonus?

The wiki says it'll do 1d8+4 damage.

So, with your -1 to attack rolls, 4 damage.

You appear to be conflating "attack rolls" and "damage rolls" again. Arg's damage isn't affected by the Splintering Shot.

Strategy time!

I think we should concentrate on killing the vampire. Hopefully doing so will make Hargustus like us and the other two run off in terror or something.

I don't suppose anyone thought to bring any holy water or anything? Since Gabe is a religious personage or sorts, can he bless things to make them hurt vampires more?

Somebody save beard bro :(

I've asked about holy water before, and I think Pang said that there's no real rules about it for 4e. That may've changed now that they came out with a new book or maybe it's different for one vampire versus dozens and dozens of zombies, however.

Yeah, there still aren't any real official rules for holy water, but like I told lurker: find a water source and do something that might plausibly consecrate it and I'll work with it.

The 5 points of vulnerability generally aren't worth the effort unless you've set something up in advance, though.

Garr, Fighters have to do their Combat Challenge as part of an attack, so unless you used your bow then it's not possible at range.

Pang, does Gareth have resitance against necrotic damage or did you just forget that Bob's Ray of Enfeeblement does 1D10+5 damage?

I'm assuming the former but thought I better check.

Yeah, with any corporeal undead enemy you can reasonably assume they're going to have resistance to necrotic.

Actually looking at his statblock it was supposed to be Resist 10

But you may retain your single point of damage

For I am a Benevolent DM

Cool, it was the weakening effect I was more after anyway.

I swear these dice are loaded against me though.

What are the movement rules for the raised platform?

There aren't any, other than that the center square isn't passable.

Did we ever find out what was in the central silver bowl? Would that knowledge even be of any benefit?

Sorry about the wait but I guess it was worth it. =V

edit: forgot about the critical bonus

Additional Spam:
I pretty much just invoked the spirit of Zed with that one, maybe there's something to it...

Don't think anybody particularly bothered to look at it.

And what exactly does it take to check this in the midst of battle? Free/minor/standard action? How close would I have to get?

Not that I'm trying to make it a priority, but if Soggy can figure it out as he runs by I figure it couldn't hurt to know.

Lookin's free.
