Against the Dragon: An ECL 20 Mini-Adventure

[PhoenixRivers]

K, just wanted to provide an alternate that went more closely in line with what you originally said.

Barring Objections, Ghrem will move to M18 and Kagrenac to N19, to allow for the heal to function as stated.

[Tehnar]

Ill move to meet up with Kagrenac.

[PhoenixRivers]

Map, as of the end of all player actions this round:

Spoiler

Show

Two avorals have moved to kagrenac's position and healed him, then kagrenac and ghrem moved to the location previously specified for curing.

Ghrem, if not mistaken, has a ready action for manyshot.

[Toliudar]

And, just to clarify, are any of the avorals healing Theda?

[Superglucose]

Two did and I healed the ranger.

[PhoenixRivers]

Oops, I misread something, 1 sec.

CORRECTED MAP:

Spoiler

Show

Moved avorals to the wrong character. Corrected.

[Tehnar]

So, who is up? Are we still in initiative mode?

[Toliudar]

I think we're now back to Seto/Orran.

[PhoenixRivers]

We are still in initiative mode. I wanted to give time for verification of all positions before posting actions for the OpFor that you've detected via listen checks.

[Orran]

Seto will ready an action to cast greater dispel if LOS to an enemy is established.

OOC: Did we decide on how to transport Seto? Burrow or by carrying?

[PhoenixRivers]

I will post OpFor's action (which occurs before Seto) by tonight at the latest.

[PhoenixRivers]

A towering whirlwind of air enters into view as it heads into the room from the passageway. Ghrem's ready action triggers.

After this, it moves down, enveloping Ghrem and Kagrenac (Reflex save, DC 39, wind effect), then moves north, ending at L11-O14.

Play continues with Seto (following ready action and all saves).

[Tehnar]

Manyshot, 4 arrows (ignoring cover and concealment less then total):
Attack: (1d20+28)[45]

Damage if hit:
arrow1:(1d8+14)[15]
arrow2:(1d8+14)[18]
arrow3:(1d8+14)[20]
arrow4:(1d8+14)[17]

Reflex save:
(1d20+28)[35]

[Tehnar]

Woohoo 10 damage.

If I'm not mistaken, a second reflex save is needed as well.
(1d20+28)[46]

[Superglucose]

More of these damn Wind effects?

[Orran]

Seto casts a targeted greater dispel on the elemental. "Caster Level check" - (1d20+20)[25] (Rerolled to a 23 in OOC)

I'll make a new sheet for Seto and put all this on it, trawling through everything to find this was so much effort.

[PhoenixRivers]

@Ghrem: (4d6)[14] damage from buffeting, but you're not picked up.

@Seto: approximately 5 minutes of time have elapsed in the lair. That said, extended Superior Invis has a duration of 2 minutes per caster level. I believe that would be 44 minutes, rather than 440?

[Orran]

As does fly, I believe that was a typo carrried over from the file I was keeping track of it all on.

[PhoenixRivers]

LOL, fair enough. With a CL of 220, I was about to make an on the spot retroactive ruling for Comsumptive Field.

[PhoenixRivers]

Init:

Kagrenac
(OpFor)
Torvin
Ghrem
Theda/Terry
Seto (Moved due to Readied action)
(Monolith)

Monolith's turn is concluded, ready action is resolved (no effect).

EDIT: Note, for future reference, be careful with Dispels. Even if your dispel checks are very low, note that you automatically succeed on dispel checks to dispel your own spells. A single targeted Dispel Magic reflected back at you will strip every buff you have that's vulnerable to dispel.

[Superglucose]

Is the Monolith in whirlwind form at the moment? Or can I hit it with my stick?

[PhoenixRivers]

Is the Monolith in whirlwind form at the moment? Or can I hit it with my stick?

Yes, and Yes. Whirlwind doesn't prevent it from being attacked.

At its base, it occupies M12-N13. At its top, it occupies L11-O14.

[Superglucose]

In that case, move me closer I want to hit it with my stick. I'll charge and power attack for... let's make it 10. I'll also activate my Boots of Speed for a round.

9 rounds on the boots left

[PhoenixRivers]

30 total damage, after DR is factored in. Play continues.

[Superglucose]

Wait! No it doesn't! Avoral's actions.

Four empowered Magic Missiles defensively cast.

88 damage

And now play continues

[PhoenixRivers]

LOL, play continues after I post results of any action. I didn't say who's next for that reason.

Avoral MM's: by the individual damage you posted, you have 91 damage, not 88. Play continues with Dragon's action.

Dragon (DM/OO):

burrow 120 feet towards combat zone.

Next action: Torvin's up.

[PhoenixRivers]

Init:

Kagrenac
(OpFor)
Torvin (DELAYING)
Ghrem
Theda/Terry
Seto (Moved due to Readied action)
(Monolith)

Torvin is delaying. He's had ample time to post a turn. When he's available, he can post his action, and will be off delay.

[Tehnar]

Free action: Use 1 charge on boots of speed.

Standard: Fire a manyshot (4 arrows) at the elemental.
(1d20+30)[35] (higher then before due to haste and point blank shot)
If hit, damage:
Arrow 1 (1d8+15)[20]
Arrow 2 (1d8+15)[16]
Arrow 3 (1d8+15)[18]
Arrow 4 (1d8+15)[22]

Move: Move Silently full speed to B18.
(1d20+28)[45](-5 penalty included)

End turn.

Kagrenac

Torvin (DELAYING)

Next up is Theda. 16 total damage recorded to the monolith after DR (on that attack)

OO:

167 total damage sustained.

[Tehnar]

Woohoo, I keep on getting better.
