A Balancing Act

[lord_khaine]

wouldnt it be a better idea to fire the lazor before the monsters goes away?

[Rachel Lorelei]

wouldnt it be a better idea to fire the lazor before the monsters goes away?

Yes, that'd be lovely if I got another turn before they did. I can't fire it during the Time Stop, so I cast it during the Time Stop, then my turn ends.

Monster turn concluded. Play commences, following required AoO and saves, with Gen.

[Solo]

If I didn't MM what did I do? I remember after our discussion saying to focus all MM on the wounded wraith. If that is impossible, what did I do with that turn?

Ref cone of cold: (1d20+9)[25]
Will, unholy Blight: (1d20+12)[17]
Fort: (1d20+6)[12]
Fort: (1d20+6)[13]
Fort: (1d20+6)[7]
Doesn't Deathward protect against drain? if not, I'm dead from 59 damage and 9 points of constitution drain

[Talic]

Deathward does protect.

Dismissing a Dismissable spell is a Standard action. If you dismiss Ethereal Jaunt, you will only have a move action remaining.

[Solo]

I thought Dismissing was a free action?

If I did, I would have kept it up and kept buffing, but never mind. We can play it as it is if retcons aren't allowed.

[lord_khaine]

well Sir Giacomo did point out the part about dropping a spell.

reflex vs Cone (1d20+21)[22] gogo improved evasion
SR vs U.blight (1d20+21)[23] vs 30
will vs U.blight (1d20+22)[37]

SR vs touch (1d20+21)[37] vs 30
will vs touch (1d20+22)[23]

edit.
forgot SR vs Cone [roll]1d20+21[/roll]

but annoyingly enough i rolled a natural 1 on the will save, i so fear it wont matter that much anyway.

[Rachel Lorelei]

Gen moves to where both the Crawler and the Walker will be hit by a diagonal Sunbeam (but not closer than absolutely necessary), and unleashes a line of shining light.

(20d6)[62] damage, Ref save 30 for half. Failed save... doesn't destroy, I guess, unless the DM rules that it does. It seems awfully funny that the beam blinds living things but does nothing to non-light-vulnerable undead on a failed save (except the increased damage).

[Talic]

For Torc:

SR vs Cone: (1d20+21)[25] vs DC 30. It actually matters, as you nat 1'd a save.

EDIT: 1/2 damage from cone. That's 28 Cone damage, 9 Blight damage.

Luckily, your SR vs the touch attack passed, cause the save failed.

I'll check what the final consensus was on what creatures were ruled to be harmed by light before making any rulings on that.

[Solo]

And what do I do with my Schrodinger's action?

[Rachel Lorelei]

And what do I do with my Schrodinger's action?

Well, since you performed an illegal action, it can't have happened. Therefore, you obviously did something else in its place. Replace away.

[Solo]

Indeed. I shall....

Let's see. The original intent was to go *poof* and pop back out to Disintegrate something in one round but since we all know that's an illegal action, I might just spend the time buffing.

I suppose Protection from Evil would be a good idea.

[Worira]

will, touch attack: (1d20+17)[23]
will, blight: (1d20+17)[28]

AoO, power attacking for 20 against flatfooted AC: (d20+18)[30]
Miss, blink 20%: (1d100)[72]
Miss, incorporeal 50%: (1d100)[16]
Miss, concealment 20%: (1d100)[93]

[Rachel Lorelei]

Can you really be rolling three different miss chances? I guess Incorporeal isn't a miss chance, it's just a chance not to be affected, and blink and concealment chances stack... still, ouch.

[lord_khaine]

yeah fighting incorporal creatures in the darkness suck.

well ill continue beating on the crawler.
flurry of blows
(1d20+25)[34] miss (1d100)[57]
(1d20+25)[45] miss (1d100)[97]
(1d20+25)[26] miss (1d100)[56]
(1d20+20)[37] miss (1d100)[45]
(1d20+15)[34] miss (1d100)[66]

[Solo]

Um, Talic???

[Solo]

OOC: I propose we ice the Nightcrawler first, then either back off into the AMF and rest or move on to mop up the survivors.

[lord_khaine]

well i allready suggestet ic that we focus on the crawler, and people are allready swinging at it, lets see how it looks after it is dead.

[Sir Giacomo]

ooc: a new thread to discuss the rules aspects etc. of this challenge has been set up here to replace the previous closed down thread.
