Wrench
HP: 13/13, (1/30 Kothar)
AC: 21 (vt 9: ff: 21)

Wrench will try to maneuver into a flanking position, if possible, without provoking an AoO.

Modifiers: BAB+1, STR+5, Enhancement+1,Inspire Courage +1
If Flanking is achieved, add +2 to total.

[roll2]

Construct Bane is still in effect, but won't affect the guy inside the suit.

{OOC: Can I just frame those rolls? I don't think I've ever gotten a set of rolls that good in my life. The only thing its missing to make it perfect would be a critical threat, instead of 1 away.}

[Lord Iames Osari]

Casfal takes a full-round action, concentrating attempting to regain his psionic focus.

((*sigh* I think my Concentration checks are cursed...))

[Magnus_Samma]

(Ike's turn... just to assure everyone that I am still here... XD)

[Not a Paladin]

Ike d'Cannith

Ike moves to keep a distance of 30 feet from the almost-wrecked Thranish suit, thinking about how the battle could go. He talks big, but he is obviously in no condition to keep fighting. If he continues to be this aggressive, it will not matter how hard he can hit. He will likely die before he does much more damage. As he thinks this, he uses the power of his mind to send another crystal shard flying toward the enemy suit.

(OoC: Spending 2 power points to manifest another Crystal Shard (this should leave me with 4 power points).
Ranged touch attack with crystal shard: (1d20+2)[17]
Crystal shard damage: (2d6)[10]
Also, did you remember to apply the effects of my last attack?)

[Magnus_Samma]

Ike's first crystal failed to penetrate the mech's armor, but this second does seem to cause the strange knight some damage, in addition to that wreaked by Wrench and the Minotaur delivering horrific blows of their axes, sending up further gouts of blood.

But he does not fall.

(Achille's turn...)

[Winged One]

Achille
HP 28/28 Kothar 5/30
AC 20
5/6 Action Points
The cockpit on Achille's Kothar just barely holds under the force behind the Thrannish greatsword. Another blow from a mechanoid would probably shear it off and leave him as vulnerable as his enemy. Bringing the axe around a loop to strike a blow that is diagonal compared to the last, he ends it holding the axe at an angle to the ground.

[ooc]Swift Action: recover maneuvers
Standard action: Attack, PA -2/+4
ToHit - (1d20+10)[25] +2 BAB, +1 Inspire Courage, -2 Power Attack, -1 size, +1 enhancement, +7 STR, +2 flank

By the way, as SPTI done anything that would require a Martial Lore check from Achille?[/ooc]

[Magnus_Samma]

(The man has yet to do anything that resembles anything but a fairly mundane swordblow.)

The mobile suit stumbles backwards a step from the party. The man inside coughs blood, the red stain on his teeth making his manic smile that much more unnerving.

"Looks like... we're in more trouble than I thought..."

He frees his hand from the armor's harness long enough to punch something in his cockpit. An instant later there is a blast of sparks on his suit's back as what resembles a firework shoots upwards, through the canopy of trees, and into the air. Whatever the object is, it is snatched up by another of those flying objects and carried off before it can fall back to earth.

"Now... let's finish this."

[Asmodeus]

{OOC: Do we get an AoO for him moving away, or for him launching whatever it was that he launched?}

[Magnus_Samma]

(No, he took a five foot step, and then he took a full round action to launch his missile defensively.)

[Lord Iames Osari]

Casfal attempts to attain his focus a second time.

Wrench
HP: 13/13, (1/30 Kothar)
AC: 21 (vt 9: ff: 21)

Wrench copies the step made by the enemy, trying to maintain some advantage by keeping him surrounded. He then attacks, again.

Attack w/ Battlaxe - (1d20+6)[9]
Modifiers: +1 BAB, +5 STR, -1 Size, +1 Enhancement
Slashing Damage - (2d6+7)[16]
Modifiers: +7 2-handed STR

[Magnus_Samma]

Wrench's assault, while impressive to watch, fails to penetrate the machine's armor to strike the meaty pilot inside. Said meaty pilot chuckles an evil chuckle.

[Not a Paladin]

Ike d'Cannith

Ike is quite puzzled by the recent turn of events. How can anyone be that resistant to death? It makes no sense! Nothing about this fight makes sense anymore! What do I do?

On that thought, Ike briefly descends into a completely out-of-character madness, rushing his opponent with axe drawn. "Prepare to face the power of my ultimate attack! Takarakuji Ono!" (OoC: Poorly mangled Japanese for "Lottery Axe". No particular meaning in the context of the battle; it just shows that Ike is completely out of his mind at the time of the attack.)

His completely nonsensical attack name is followed by a completely normal axe attack.

Regardless of whether or not the attack actually does anything, Ike immediately states, "What did I just do? And what did that thing I said mean?"

(OoC: Attack with +1 Flaming Battleaxe: (1d20+5)[9]
Damage: [roll]2d6+5[/roll
Fire damage: (1d6)[5]
...and it looks like this attempt to actually do something useful was a complete failure.)

[Magnus_Samma]

The minotaur takes a step back from the battle, breathing heavily and holding his wound.

"The knights of the silver flame... are as powerful as the stories tell... a direct assault might not work..."

[Winged One]

Achille
AC 16, 20 vs SPTI
HP 27/27 Kothar 5/30
5 action points

"Lucky for us, then," Achille says to the minotaur, nimbly moving to get back into a position where the SPTI is flanked, "That he's nothing of the sort!" He adds injury to insult, leaving himself vulnerable to all but the enemy he sees again for the sake of a swift blow.

[ooc]Move action: Tumble to get flanking agian, and give it as well. Tumble - (1d20+3)[23]
Standard action: Initiate Steely Strike, PA -2/+4

[Winged One]

[ooc]If I spend an action point on that attack roll, are the effects of that natural 1 negated?[/ooc]

[Magnus_Samma]

(... sure... but unless Steely Strike makes you attack a touch attack or something it won't really make a difference. XD)

[Resonance]

McCormick

Continues to play his bard-ly melodies, "Don't die, to the fake knight guy. Something something."

[Winged One]

(... sure... but unless Steely Strike makes you attack a touch attack or something it won't really make a difference. XD)

[ooc]No, that's Emereld Razor, which he's getting next level.

Does that mean if I roll a natural 19 or so, I can use an action point to crit his sorry ass?[/ooc]

[Magnus_Samma]

Not yet dead, the knight focuses on what appears to be his greatest threat and lurches towards the minotaur, sword raised high for imminent stabbing.

(Everyone within arm's length gets an AoO.)

[Magnus_Samma]

None of the blows come close to connecting- the knight brushes past them with incredible speed, and with the force of a lightning bolt, drives his sword through the minotaur's chest.

The noble beast groans and sinks to the ground.

[Asmodeus]

Wrench

{OOC: Free action.}

Wrench says off-handedly to Achilles "Are soft-skins supposed to make noises like that?" in response to the Minotaur's groan.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Casfal gives up on regaining his focus and instead reloads his crossbow. ((whenever his next turn comes around, naturally))

[Winged One]

Achille

"Um, only when we die or get knocked out..." Says the guy who is trained to cause such conditions. I hope he's just knocked out... Achille thinks, even though he doesn't expect it.

[ooc]Oh, by the way, it's pronounced and spelled like the name of the sociopath from Ender's Shadow, not the villainous hero from the Illiad. Oh, and before you ask, our Achille is just neutral.

I'm gonna wait for everybody else's turn, like a good little initiative losing monkey.[/ooc]
