The Battle of Black Rock IC

[hustlertwo]

Will save: (1d20+12)[20]

Will the bonuses affect my summoned creatures too? If so, I might attack with one of the bats. If not, probably not, they were really just brought up to help find the angel if there wasn't a magical way to do so.

Do we have any bonuses to checks for overcoming spell resistance? Can't remember if we do or not. This is just crazy to keep up with.

Rounds 1 and 2: Ready an action to cast Dispel Magic if Kara attempts to cast a spell.

Alright, Fly and See Invisibility are on the list of buffs that got sent though the weave, so I guess I can charge Kara now.

Saul spots the angel and, brimming with countless arcane and psionic effects, flies towards her, claws ready to pounce.

Round 1 action

Swift: Manifest Psionic Lion's Charge from the Psicrown, 9pp
Full Round: Charge, pouncing for a full attack (PA for 5)
Claw 1 (Vampiric) (1d20+28)[41] for (5d6+28)[54] + (2d6)[9]

Claw 2 (1d20+28)[48] for (5d6+28)[46]
Crit confirm (1d20+33)[50]
Schism: Recover Psionic Focus

Huge reach, so there shouldn't be an AoO: The crit confirms should be 5 points lower, but assuming 45 does confirm then the damage should be:

63 from Claw 1
92 from Claw 2

Twinkie - Round 1, init 12

Twinkie would have started in the front, probably at one of the corners. He uses his hasted flight to his advantage, getting as close as possible before introducing her to his ridiculously over-sized sword.

Moving directly to the right and up in elevation, I have plenty of movement to butt up corner to corner. Since I'm huge (3x3), I won't actually be leaving any squares in her threatened space.

[Killerloop]

"Please to meet you" said Rikktor while taking off "now, taste Mephistopheles' best creation!"

You see Rikktor flying towards the planetar, her invisibility no protection from him. Then, speaking words in a forbidden tongue, he begins to draw power and his hands glow with dark energy. Finally he unleashes two beam of purple energy towards the supposed position of the planetar.

In your ears you feel a disturbing sound, like millions of souls screaming and if you look at Rikktor and then blink you see the afterimage of an archdevil face grinning towards Kara...

For maximizing spell like abilities, you have to cast the SPA at a lower level. Same for empower and quicken. I'm not sure if you took that into account.

Curses! Maximize Vitriolic Blast requires level 16...

Quicken is Ok, Eldritch Blast is a level 1 spell.

[neoseph7]

I finished putting most of the battle in order. The first pounce from Anex hits once (of four attacks) and a crit from Saul brought her down to 16 HP (DR). One of Twinkie's attacks hit, and that ends the fight (in a non-permanent manner for Kara of course). Had she gone first, things would have been different (The will save was for Mass Charm Monster, and many of you would have been affected by it). Her second round action was going to be heal too. You guys are definatly going to bring down any single creature I throw at you.

I will not be updating the current map (you guys won).

You may now start planning for the actual battle (including how to spend your 6 hours of prebattle time on the actual field).

In other news, Kara will not be summoned to the battle field. She only has 14 hit dice, and the spell allows for up to 18 hit dice. This is a job for her tougher cousin, Kal, who will be joining the party instead (same 17th level cleric, 4 more hitdice of bab, hp, and saves).

[DueceEsMachine]

wow.... I feel - useless? lol. In a good way.

[Killerloop]

We're 15-th level powerhouses. Throw brother-summoning devils and demons at us

[chilepepper]

I don't actually need any time to buff, I'll just need one standard action and I can do that as the army approaches.

If there's anything I can do with the six hours to help the party, consider it done.

[industrious]

All I need as well I a single swift action to get into my stance. For the remainder of the 6 hours, consider me as aiding another whenever applicable.

[hustlertwo]

I think I'm supposed to be playing one of those instruments of building, which is fine, most of my buffing can be done in the last few minutes.

[DueceEsMachine]

yeah - my buffing doesn't take long either. I'm a little busy with work right this moment, but if anyone has any particular ideas on where barriers ect. should go, we might as well start discussing it now - I'm not sure how long it takes to build stone walls, but I figure just pallisades will be enough to slow them down. Or trenches. Any thoughts?

[industrious]

Stone walls with one or two narrow chokepoints for us to fight from, and platforms for the spellcasters. Have the walls slope towards the enemies, so that it's impossible to climb them. 20 foot deep stone pits full of stone spikes right in front of us might help as well(they'll need to fill the pits before facing us).

[Ryuuk]

I'll just need a swift a for Claws of the Beast and would greatly appreciate someone sending sending a Greater Mage Armor (Greater Magic Weapon for my bow would be nice too) through the weave, between that, the claws and a manifestation of Expansion, my psicrystal should be bumped up to a mook killing level.

I can't do much in the way of prebattle preparations though. At most, I may be able to do some heavy lifting.

[hustlertwo]

Oh, that's right, I will need a few more minutes for caltrop scattering. I have like 50 or 60 sacks of them, figured I'd place them at some critical points since they apparently do not have a limit on uses, and even the strongest enemy can get hit by them 5 % of the time (and the henchies should get hit more often than that, since the caltrop roll ignores so many armor bonuses). Or I can give them to someone else to scatter if I'm still needed on the instrument.

[Delandel]

Oolar will chain protection from evil and greater magic weapon on the group the rounds before the battle starts. He'll also cast mirror image and shield on himself, and use his scrolls to give him +4 CON/DEX/WIS and use his scroll of Bull's Strength on anyone who wants it. When the fight begins, he chains Nerveskitter on everyone for +5 initiative. When we choose a location to fortify, he will cast Aerial Alarm (HoB p124, see bottom of sheet for full description), and possibly Wall of Stone / fogs depending on the layout of the terrain.

Anex will politely ask a party member to use all the scrolls in her inventory on her in the rounds before the battle, and then she is ready. Oolar can handle all of them except for Magic Vestment, which hopefully the NPC cleric will do for her.

[IthilanorStPete]

Tacitus can have basically any hr/lvl buff on the party from the day before - suggestions are appreciated.
