Jack
Jack sighs. So that was the first test. This must be the second...
Jack moves forward until he is 25 ft away from the gnoll and notches an arrow, readied to be fired should the creature attempt any more unnatural powers.

Re: Ruins of Rubix (IC)
Ok, then here's my move action:
Joshua
After firing off his bolt, Joshua quickly dives forward, moving past the gnoll and quickly drawing his sword en rout.
Tumbling past it, so that it's between me and the rest of the group. Since I have +20 tumble there shouldn't be a problem, but I'll make a roll in case of special abilities. tumble - (1d20+20)[26]The Ishka wiki. Check it out people, it's a cool little city.

Re: Ruins of Rubix (IC)
my readied action goes off as he attacks hexbox so the gnoll takes 35 dmg unless he makes a reflex save of 27. On my next turn I Manifest another energy missile, this one for EDIT: 6d6=(17 rolled in OOC) damage with a save of 24. The damage type is electricity

Re: Ruins of Rubix (IC)
(damn hex)
Jack, Joshua and Rovinel hits the gnoll, but he seems not to be overly effected.
Joshua gets behind the gnoll
Both of Joram's missiles however are dodged.
The gnoll, in response, strikes the ground, and a mass of spikes burst out, dealing (6d6)[25] damage to each of you, reflex 18 for half. then he takes out a bottle with unknown liquid inside, that glows a little in purple.

"So this is void magic!" Jack snaps as he tries to avoid the growing spikes. He had hoped to disrupt the power with a well timed shot, but apparently that didn't work too well. Reflex - (1d20+11)[14]
If Jack is withing 20 feet of the Gnoll he quickly backs up until he is 25 ft away provided the room allows this. Then his eyes flash silver as a mist condenses out of the air into a spongy rain-bow colored ball that speeds straight at the gnoll (entangling ectoplasm: ranged touch - (1d20+11)[23] On a hit the Gnoll is entangled for 5 rounds)

Full Round Action: Full-round Attack
Attack 1 - (1d20+12)[30]
Damage 1 - (1d3)[2] + Sneak Attack - (1d6)[1]
- Pulling 1d6 of Sneak Attack to use Steal Spell-like Ability.
- Add 2 to the attack roll and Magebane - (2d6+2)[10] to damage if the gnoll can cast arcane spells or invocations.
- The gnoll must make a DC 3 Fort save (add 13 if Magebane applies) or be staggered for 1 round if hit.
Attack 2 - (1d20+12)[30]
Damage 2 - (1d3)[2] + Sneak Attack - (1d6)[2]
- Pulling 1d6 of Sneak Attack to use Steal Spell Effect if Rovinel goes after the gnoll swallows the potion, Steal Spell (3rd level) if before.
- Add 2 to the attack roll and Magebane - (2d6+2)[6] to damage if the gnoll can cast arcane spells or invocations.
- The gnoll must make a DC 4 Fort save (add 10 if Magebane applies) or be staggered for 1 round if hit.
Don't forget Rovinel is invisible, so the gnoll loses it's Dex mod to AC and such.
SpoilerIt might be easier if you just let me know if the Magebane applied, so I didn't have to put down so many options.
Also Spellcraft check of 1d20+16 to see if he is using arcane stuff. I didn't roll since you don't want us to.
And I really hope that it rolls a 1 on one of those Fort saves and autofails, cause I don't think it'll miss those saves otherwise! >_<Last edited by MammonAzrael; 2008-04-30 at 11:00 AM.

SpoilerOk, delaying until Nirshal gets into melee with it, then full attacking. If it looks like Nirshal won't make it, I'll attack anyway, just subtract 4 from the attack rolls. Since I flank it from any squares I threaten, I shouldn't even need to move to flank it.

Re: Ruins of Rubix (IC)
(No, only the second one was a critical. The first I rolled a 15, which isn't enough, even with a Keen shortsword. Though I think the 29 will hit anyway.)

Re: Ruins of Rubix (IC)
Right, hex-you forgot reflex, rolled it on my desk, you kina failed it. (that that you give a damn with your HP and healing...)
The gnoll, however, cannot take all the attacks directed at him, and falls down to the ground, in a near-death status. you can see he is nearly unable to stay on his knees, and will probably bleed to death from this point on.
Another illusion wall disappears, and you see a room with a black floor, except a single brick that glows in red.

SpoilerI figure this will be helpful to remember what I have.
AC: 23 hp: 33/45 Ki: 8/9
Ok, actions depend on whether it looks like the gnoll will be able to respond to me. If it looks like it can still talk: Joshua moves in front of the creature and growls "Can you speak in the common tongue?"
If not: Joshua stares at his blade for a few seconds. He starts when Jack speaks, then responds "I'm not sure. Just give me a second, I can do some more scouting." He then crouches down and whispers "I'm sorry," as he drives the blade into the creature's chest, "but leaving you alive is an unacceptable risk at this point."The Ishka wiki.

And he seems not to respond to common.
As you attempt to end his life, he takes out a small orb and crushes it in his hand, a blink of black glow around him and he is gone without trace. (the glow did NOT disrupt your sight, he jest vanished.)

"I hate these shifty void users. You can never tell what they're doing. They need to be watched so closely..."
With that endearing statement, Rovinel remains invisible and flits above the others heads, annoyed and wary. He pulls out a Wand of Lesser Vigor and proceeds to heal himself.

Re: Ruins of Rubix (IC)

Jack takes a second closer look at the new room that has opened up. He sees 3 walls and a single red glowing brick. "Door? What door? Is there one hid'n behind another illusionary wall? I reckon da first room was to test our ability to take initiative, da second combat. This one now, it feels like a trap test. If we can sense that one wall is illusionary I say we don't touch that brick and move on." If Joram doesn't respond Jack sighs loudly and fires an arrow at each wall of the black-floored area.

No traps you can find at all, but the moment you enter the "new area", you hear a voice saying "Turn the stone blue to finish the test."
And then, a voice comes out of the stone saying "Test the finish to blue stone the turn."

"Oh, a puzzle now is it." Jack mutters to himself. After a moment's though he calls out into the room: "BLUE TURN"
If that doesn't work Jack pulls out a bag of holding and simply says: "Well, it sure was worth a try. I guess we can always do force next unless someone's got a better idea... Ah! here we go!" He finishes as he pulls out a crowbar.

Re: Ruins of Rubix (IC)
(That would not be necessary.)
The stone is quick to reply "Turn Blue.", and does the very same.
A wall moves, revealing a room behind. you see taragos standing in the middle, and about a dozen others all around. Taragos says to you "Well, that should be enough. come in." he casts a quick spell and notes "Teleported these failures that called themselves heroes away."
A man in a purple robe, unfamiliar to you all, says "Lets get over with the introduction, we are all going to work as a team for some time now, we might as well know each other.", and taragos adds to you "You are now, if you choose to take the job, the new Predator squad, we lost the old one some time ago. your job is to take missions similar to the one you jest preformed, but much longer and harder."
The purple-robe says "Me and my team are the Mindset. Our job is to set up something for your team to rely on ahead of time, making your job easier.", one in a brown monk robe, and another in a black suit stand you to the purple-robe, noting that they are the team."
A third man addresses you. saying "You should now choose if you are the accept the job, and if so appoint a leader. then introduce yourselves, we will do the same later on."
