Hah!
Kearn lifts his hand, and sends a line of lighting right at the spider at h8. After the spell hits the spider, it divides in 12 new lines, which hits all the other kobolds and spiders, except for the kobold and spider at m3.

Kearn casts chain lighting, targeting the spider at h8, and bounces off to all the other spiders and kobolds, except the kobold and spider at m3.

AYEEEE!-scream the kobolds as the lighting fries their little bodies into charred carcasses. The only thing left from the first spider to be hit is a smoking crater due to her poor reflexes, and the other ones also get their fur toasted, altough they still manage to stand. Barely.

All kobolds hit dead, spider at H8 dead, remaining spiders still moving but seem badly hurt.

Well thanks, for going along
with my idea to take over the mount
The spider will be easier to Handle
after you've killed it off like that

Jack adds, inventing a few new lyrics for his song in the process.

On his turn, he will Escape Artist (1d20+12)[13] and move 15 feet to the left, taking cover behind a tree.

Wait a moment.... if all I'm going to do is move 15 feet anyways, why do I need to roll Escape Artist? I draw my sword and move to behind the tree.

Don't kill the last kobold, we needs someone to lead us to the dragon.

RETREAT!-screams one of the kobolds who had been thrown from it's mount, running to the shaddows of the forest and disapearing along with other unmounted kobold.

The rider near pie, however, decides to don't take chances and backs off carefully to avoid any more nasty attacks. However, as it retreats, it shouts some strange screams at the spiders. Most of them are pinned by the wind and don't do anything, but one of them still has her head out and manages to breath fire towards Kearn and Uther. Uther stands strong, but Kearn's webs catch fire and the warmage falls in agony with the heat.

Taking this chance, the other spider who hadn't been locked by the wind advances towards Uther but it only manages to cracth it's poison filled pincers against the crusader's tick armor.

However, other spider manages to free itself from the winds, and closes in with Pie and Cake, breathing fire towards them. The druid and his companion get burned again, but at least they're not restrained by the webs anymore, wich dissolve into ashes.

The breath of fire however continues forth and manages to catch Jack behind the tree, also freeing him from his bidings, altough in a painfull way. Uther is unlucky enough to also get burned in the way, but refuses to fall to such attacks.

3) Kalah move forward, now that he knows it's dark outside, and will end his turn 40ft closer. So that's 70ft off the ground and 60ft back from the party. Then he will shout to the party in his telepathy, though I think they are still out of range.

Renewed by his master's curative magic, Cake shreds the carapace of the nearby monstruous spider, wich hisses a final time and falls on the back with it's long legs curved over itself.

Uther on his hand unleashes a flurry of righteous angry blows at the spider. The monster actually colapses imediatily after the first one, but the crusader is too focused to notice such irrelevant details as the enemy already being dead and keeps hacking at the body. In the end all that's left of the spider is a messy pool of red good and fur, but Uther feels a lot more relieve and most of the pain from the burns is gone.

Incarnum3:Ups, sorry about not noticing you had that maneuver. Also, I just noticed it now, but I was suposed to have given you randomized maneuvers at start of the battle. For now let's just assume you have all of them available, but next time I'll randomize it for you at the start of battle.


Frost:Check post 32. I said the Sun was nowhere to be seen, wich is an artistic way of saying it is night. After moving 40 feet, you are around 81 feet from the party, so I think telepathy works(it's 100 feet reach isn't it?)


Solo:PLEASE keep the rolls and ooc stuff inside spoiler tags. Also, you had already spent your 2nd turn moving 15 feet behind the tree, and were entangled, so no charging. Now the 3rd turn starts, and you're first one to act. Since the spider near Pie is dead, you'll need to post some new action. And again, please put the ooc and rolls into spoiler tags.

Ok, new action.

The spider at F1 is 60 feet away from me.

I charge that spider, if possible.

You've got Cake and 3 trees in the way, definetely not a clear path to make a charge, wich would normally make that action impossible.

I'm, however, feeling benevolent, so I'll houserule it a little and let you do it if you suceed in a DC 25 jump check to go over Cake while charging and three DC 30 tumble checks to zig zag trough the trees at full speed whitout losing momentum. Failing any of these checks means your charge will be stoped.

[Frost]

Spoiler

Thanks for the night thing. Also, two other things:

1) Threeshades, you can share spells with your Animal Companion, including healing spells, so you could just as easily have cast the spell on yourself and have both you and your companion healed.

2) Since the Kobolds are trying to run away, I need to mention my spell. It's much much larger then you have it, and this is the important thing, I choose for it to be the blowing inward version, so the Kobolds are surrounded by winds in all directions blowing towards them, so they can't run away without making at least two saves in a row.

Sorry, my tumble modifier is off. It is actually 20, so it fails on the last one. I end up in the general vicinity of the spider. Possibly behind that last tree I couldn't get out of the way of.

Actually, I can make it there mundanely. I step to the left one square 5 feet, up left two squares (25 feet) and end my first move action then. Then I charge up to the spider as a standard action, as I am within 40 feet of it after my first move action.

Unfortunately for you, Standard action charges can only occur when you take no other movement that round, so you can't move then charge.

[Oslecamo]

Jack gracefully jumps over the megaraptor, runs towards the spider, jumping over two trees in the way like they were not there and draws his sword in a flash of light in the night, cuting the spider in half with a single blow. The strike is so clean the weapon isn't tainted by the sticky goo that comes from the spider's guts. The kobold lands on the floor with a terrified look on his face towards the bard. It then shakily steps back, loads his crossbow and lets out a bolt wich Jack easily dodges.

Why won't you just die you soft skins? We're the servants of the red wyrm! We're stronger than you can ever imagine! Slay me, but my brothers will make you regret the day you were born!

But sudenly the spider who was half locked by the winds manages to get free, and charges madly at Uther, only for its pincers to bounce away from the tick armor, just like her sister's had.


Situation:

Spoiler

Show

Ok, this time hopefully I got the control winds area the way Frost originally intended. This forced me to change the last rider's place, puting him somewhere on the left side of the battlefield, since he's not idiot enough to run inside the magic winds area. But this also meant Jack had an easier path to reach him and thus managed to charge him with just the jump and two sucessfull tumble checks. The spider is dead, and the kobold is just 5 feet from him. Jack himself is around 30 feet left from M1.

Kalah is 80 feet from the battle, so if he moves at least 20 feet he gets line of sight again and can unleash his wrath.

No party member was hurt during this turn, since most of the spiders are still locked and the one who got free failed to hurt Uther.

The remaining kobolds were pushed to the north and are nowhere to be seen but you can hear scream of agony and "oh the koboldity!" coming from the shaddows along with what seems the sound of small bodies hiting trees.

Dorizzit PMd me saying he was busy with RL but now has free time again. I'm giving him a second chance and thus he'll enter battle at the end of the current iniative. Let's just all say he wasn't in the original audience and he's a stranger for now, willing to help you.

Not sure when it's my turn, but when it is, Kalah will run 80ft forward, he's 70ft off the ground in J7. So he can't actually see anything, since he's out of Darkvision range. Also the winds don't effect him because he is above the cylinder. He is going to navigate above the Kobolds with his next few turns using the sound of their cries and his knowledge of their location based on how he cast the spell.

Just for the record I did fail that last tumble check.

Solo:Yeah I know but since the spider was in a new place you just had to cross two trees, so the last tumble check doesn't count.

Well then Kalah takes his action to run to 70ft above J7, and that's his entire round.

How does the control wind spell there work? Because i would like to charge the remaining spiders

[Oslecamo]

Spoiler

Show

The full rules are rather complicated, but long story short, as long as you are a large creature, you gotta make a fortitude save per turn if you want to move against the direction of the wind. The current wind direction is from the outter side of the spell area to it's center (upper side of the map ), so you can charge in against the spiders whitout trouble, but you won't be able to move out whitout making fort saves.

As a side note, remember that none of the spiders at the middle still used their breath weapon, since the wind reduces it range to 1/4 (personal interpretation of the rules).

[Threeshades]
