Age of Ruin OOC: The final battle

[knewsom]

well, remember, no more acid shield - he's switched to power now.

that and, it only works if the imps can hit him, which they can only do on a natty 20.

[NobleSavage]

So, is the item considered 'in use'? Is the spell still in effect? If it is, Kaleff will just bide his time. If it isn't, he'll use his pearl of power to cast grease on the crown once more.

[Ozzy_G]

Yeah, the spell's still greased, I believe Azakan must make another reflex save this round to keep it on?
So, Kaleff is delaying his action then?

[Toliudar]

Save vs Delayed blast fireball: (1d20+7)[17]

I'll hold off posting until I get confirmation that she was still a viable target after backing off down the hallway.

[NobleSavage]

Yes, Kaleff delays his action.

[Lycar]

Reflex save eh? Fortunately that is his best so far. Still

Reflex Save: (1d20+15)[30] (including Good Hope)


*whew*, only 26 damage from the fireball and the scorching ray went wide too. Lucky Orin. Still 15 hp left.

I'll hold off posting until I get confirmation that she was still a viable target after backing off down the hallway.

Yes, the blast radius is 20 foot, so it goes down the corridor, which is straight, not twisted.

[Ozzy_G]

Remember he did shoot the bead halfway between Orin and Ismal before it exploded, so it actually went into the corridor before exploding.

Orin and Ismal's go then.

[Toliudar]

Makes sense. I was just having trouble visualizing. Ismal is at -2. 10% chance to stabilize: (1d100)[87]

Oh, is the priestess doing anything except cackling, now that she no longer needs to concentrate on the gate?

[Ozzy_G]

Well, she wasn't going to, but since Ismal went down to negative that turn, she'll have to... sigh... it's a hard life being a cleric.
Cure Critical Wounds on Ismal.
(4d8+14)[31]
That's before Ismal's go, so she can take it. Remember she is prone though.

[Toliudar]

Phew! You/she are too kind! Thanks! Going to amend my action to...something.

[Ozzy_G]

Okay, what spell was that then?

[knewsom]

Was Draven able to see what happened to Ismal? Also, how near death is the redguy?

[Toliudar]

Sorry, I'd meant to post earlier, but the boards slowed down a lot with the new comic. Ismal's actions:

Standard: Use the runestaff to cast Resilient Sphere at the bodyguard. Reflex DC 21 to negate.
Move action: Pull the marble elephant out of her pocket.

[Ozzy_G]

Here's his save against that.
(d20+5)[10]

Make a spot check for Draven to see if he notices.

[knewsom]

spot (1d20+3)[16]

Edit: also, nice spell choice Toli, and Lycar, that was one helluva gamble - we'll see if it works!

[Ozzy_G]

I'd like a Diplomacy check at -10 for Orin please.
Also a will save for Draven.

[knewsom]

will save (1d20+10)[24]

[Lycar]

Diplomacy eh? Let's hope the dice like me now....

Diplomacy: (1d20+15)[19] (includes bracers and Good Hope)

Coming to think of it.. would be such a nice time for Azakan to turn against us, now that he's been boosted by Orin's Inspire greatness.

EDIT: Soo gonna happen....

Lycar

(PS: Would you kindly take a look at this and tell me what you think?)

[Toliudar]

Turn against us? In Ismal's experience, when in hell has he been for us.

• In the tavern where she first meets him, he whines about his poor poor life, and then outlines his plan to single-handedly enslave her and the rest of the Davethran nobility.
• The fight between the priests and wizards - he turns invisible and takes off.
• In the cave, he definitely sides with Gothul, and helps track down Kaleff.
• Just now, he tried to turn Sumner over to Gothul's side, and has just seized a sacrificial dagger to complete the ritual.

By what stretch of the imagination is he on our side?

[knewsom]

I'm with Toli on this one... I think Azakan just became a new, bigger problem.

...then again, Orin IS evil... maybe he's turning against us as well.

[Ozzy_G]

Nice diplomacy roll there, Lycar. Good to see you're saving your good rolls for crucial moments.

Toli and Knewsom, the thing you have to remember is that Orin and Sumner knew him in the past. Perhaps he was nicer then, or something?

[Toliudar]

I get that, and am going to assume that not being bent on our extinction won him some street cred - but let's just say that it's a very good thing that Ismal doesn't understand what Orin's doing right now.

On that note: Spellcraft to determine what Emorik is casting: (1d20+20)[26]

[Ozzy_G]

He tried to cast Hold Person on Draven. It didn't work, of course, since he has Protection from Evil and it's a compulsion effect.

[Ozzy_G]

Okay, attacks on Draven.
claw - (d20+12)[28]
damage - (d4-1)[2]

claw - (d20+12)[31]
damage - (d4-1)[2]

If he takes any damage, he must make a fort save DC 13 or take (d4)[2] dex damage from poison.

[Ozzy_G]

And for the priestess:
touch attack - (d20+10)[29]

fort save for Dwarf - (d20+6)[7]

[knewsom]

both miss.

Draven will charge attack Govan, as per Ismal's instruction, and given that his current opponent is inside a giant golden ball. (too bad he won't suffocate like in the Superman movie with the plastic bubble)

charge at govan: (1d20+19)[30] damage (1d8+11)[14]

extra attack from haste: (1d20+17)[18] damage (1d8+11)[16]

[Ozzy_G]

You don't get extra attacks with haste unless you are making a full attack action, you don't get it on a charge.

Anyway, here's some aoo on you.
quasit - (d20+12)[24]
damage - (d4-1)[1] If hit, save DC 13 fort or (d4)[1] dex damage.

dretch - (d20+8)[20]
damage - (d6+1)[5]

dretch - (d20+8)[26]
damage - (d6+1)[3]

dretch - (d20+8)[27]
damage - (d6+1)[3]

Did you include the acid damage and your power bonus?

[Ozzy_G]

Right, concentration check for Govan to cast defensively.
(d20+20)[29]

I will need a fortitude save for Draven, DC 20.

[knewsom]

power bonus yes, electricity, no.
