To Kill a Goddess 4E IC

[Mando Knight]

This is the IC thread for the game To Kill a Goddess.

OOC thread can be found here.

Map incoming, need initiative rolls first.

Tiamat: 40, 35, 30, 25, 20

[NecroRebel]

I'm eager to get started, myself

Initiative - (1d20+26)[30] If our Warlord is within 10 squares, add another 2. If my initiative count and our Wizard's initiative count fall between the same pair of Tiamat's actions (as in, the order is Tiamat, me, wizard, Tiamat or similar), I will use Battle Awareness to gain another +10 unnamed bonus to initiative.

[Belobog]

Using Seize the Moment to gain a +20 bonus to initiative.

(d20+49)[67]
Depending on what stupnick rolls, I may or may not be going first, but I'm going to beat Tiamat, I know that much.

[Nahal]

(1d20+19)[30]

Definitely not going first here, but will likely try to buff our damage, begin moving in to engage Tiamat and trigger my regen effect in the first round. Possibly while hurling abuse at her.

[Gralamin]

Initiative, my down fall (Does not include the warlord bonus)
initiative - (1d20+17)[28]

And Character sheet I'll leave here for convient reposting:

[Mando Knight]

For future reference:

When posting combat actions, state your name, defenses, and hp in a manner similar to this:

Orcus
HP 1525/1525 Surges: ?
AC 48, Fort 51, Reflex 46, Will 49
Immune disease, poison, necrotic; Resist 10 variable

When using a power, state the power name and (pretty please!) the book and page number that it's from, as well as the target and targeted Defense. I don't care if attack and damage rolls are put into spoilers or not.

If you can make an immediate reaction/interrupt or Attack of Opportunity, please post promptly. If I realize that I'll be provoking, I'll say so in my posts, stating who can theoretically do what. If the interrupting action prevents another action, any dice rolls for the prevented action will be discarded, and I'll post a new action in response, complete with dice rolls. If, however, an interrupted action is still viable, but the parameters change, (i.e. a Breath Weapon is used against a single character, and another character jumps in to attack Tiamat, thus placing himself in the blast as well...), the old attack/damage rolls will be used, and any extra parameters will be included in the response post. (i.e. extra attacks to cover the new targets in the blast)

If I don't get very high, I would advise anyone to stay near me. I will cast Mass Fly on my turn, and its only a close burst 5. I know Urth should be able to keep the dragon down more often than not, but better safe then sorry I say.

[Mando Knight]

As the heroes gather to set up their ambush, a portal opens in the ground some 300 feet away. Out of it flies two winged Dragonborn, barely visible at this distance, one white as snow with ocean blue armor; the other forest green, wearing midnight-black armor. Following them is a dark dragon, easily a hundred feet long. If one were closer, he would see that its scales were in fact a shade of dark red, akin to fully oxygenated blood. Finally, a smaller dragon flies through, just before the portal closes. This one bears necks and heads the colors of the rainbow, mounted on a dark body. Although far away, your years of experience allows you to hear the roaring of the dragons clearly, the dark red one speaks in Draconic, the multicolored one speaks in a tongue that is understood by all who hear it, each in their native tongue.

<<My Lady, there is the treasure! The long lost Spelljammer which carries the precious gems and great works stolen from me a millenium ago. Those puny fleshlings in front of it were fools to make its position known, even here in the realm of your hated Brother. Let me kill them for you, My Lady, that you might not soil your claws on their pathetic hides.>>

"NO! They have dared to defy me long enough. I shall destroy them myself. Do not worry for me, dear lover. Not even my Brother has been able to kill me. I doubt these pathetic mortals shall fare any better. I shall call you if I require your assistance."

With that, the larger dragon and its minions back off a pace, and the smaller one, obviously your quarry, the dreaded Dragon Queen Tiamat, begins to look your way.

INTITIATIVE: Fathi!

(About 30 feet (~6 squares) behind you is an Illithid Spelljammer, lost a millenium ago in the Astral Sea. Its treasures are of legend, and were untouched by you and your comrades in order to more fully entice the Queen of Greed, but has an estimated worth of several billion gp, divided among long-lost artifacts, precious works of art, Astral Diamonds, eldritch tomes, and other priceless items... Three hundred feet (~60 squares) in front of you is Tiamat, and several squares behind her is her current consort, and his Dragonborn Champion followers. In every other dimension lies nothing but empty space, as it is an infinite plane provided by Bahamut for this very purpose.)

[frogman55]

Because I probably won't be around when when my initiative comes up, and so nobody has to wait for me, I'm rolling up my turn now:

Spoiler

Show

In silence, Arko carefully notes details about the dragon, and makes his preparations. As he does this, his image begins to shimmer, and he suddenly appears as though he is in more places than one.

Minor action: Designate Tiamat as Quarry.
Minor action: Master of the Hunt (Stance, add damage bonus equal to wisdom mod, updating char sheet to reflect it.)
Minor Action: Activate Displacer armor (A ranged or melee attack must make two rolls against his defense, must use the lower of the two rolls).

ooc: At Mando Knight: I know it's late, but I just realized that my ranger can actually move faster than his mount. Is it too late to ditch the fly and replace mounted combat with another heroic tier feat? (Would probably take precise hunter instead)

[Belobog]

Fathi
HP: 164/164|Surges: 8/8
AC: 44|Fort: 41|Ref: 43|Will: 35
Resistances: 15 (Dragon Breath)
Effects: None to speak of.

The cloth swaddled statue that was the killer Fathi stirred. Its prey had arrived. A many-headed devil, whose speech is made with all forked tongues. Fathi had not slayed a true god before. Not one worthy of the title. It wondered if the experience would be as pleasant as the others. For a moment, in the space between stillness and action, it had hope.

The hide-swaddled bugbear takes a few stiff steps before it disappears, reappearing on the back on the beast in question. The face carved into its morning star howls when the rogue raises it, recognizing the enemy as its reason to exist. Fathi brings the weapon crashing down on the Dragon Queen's wing, hoping to send her sprawling to the ground.

[Move Action: Use Boots of the infinite Stride to teleport onto the back of Tiamat.*
Minor Action: Use Dragonslayer Morningstar's Daily Power to gain a +5 power bonus to attack this turn.
Standard Action: Use Felling Gash.

Attack: (d20+38)[43] versus Reflex Defense.
Damage: (4d12+22)[39] damage.
Sneak Attack: (5d30)[93] damage added.

*I didn't get confirmation about this when I asked about it; if I can't do this, just say so, and I retake my action.

If this does go through, I kind of expect to die.]

[Belobog]

(OOC: And I mess up rolling sneak Attack. Wonderful.

Actual Sneak Attack: (5d6)[14] damage added.)

(sorry for not responding sooner... GiantitP's been acting up for me lately...)

Fathi, I'm not going to let you warp behind her, she's blocking the view. However, you can teleport right in front of her for the exact same effect.

The bugbear warps right before the mighty goddess, catching her off guard. Due to the bonuses provided by your Friendly Neighborhood Warlord-Man, Fathi manages to slam his deadly weapon into Tiamat's Red skull (total damage 68), and falls safely to the ground... using Tiamat's head to break his fall. While this would knock any normal being to the ground, Tiamat isn't likely going to stay down.

(Save vs. being knocked prone) (1d20+5)[9]
(Save vs. initial Stun) (1d20+5)[18]

(Fathi, don't forget that your enhancement bonus also applies to attack rolls... your character sheet seems to neglect this.)

Surprisingly, Tiamat was unable to stay aloft... but a quick thought from her other heads keeps the red one fresh and feisty.

Preliminary map, PCs are on the left in their chosen colors, with Slayer's placeholder color being pink and Victor's yellow. Fathi is directly in front of Tiamat (big red square with a T), and behind Tiamat are the Ancient Red (big dark red square with a D), and the Dragonborn Champions (squares with a diagonal line).

Initiative:
Korvis's turn!

[Myatar_Panwar]

(Your not the only one Mando, GitP has been really slow as of late for me, sometimes not even responding)

Korvis - Wizard
HP: 153/153 Surges: 9
AC: 43 Fort: 37 Ref: 45 Will: 46
Immune: Resistance:
Status Effects: Blur (+2 defenses) 8 Fly speed

Korvis reaches into his robe pocket and produces a large glass orb, its contents a vortex of swirling mist. His eyes stare into the Orb briefly, showing the reflection of a man whose old age has started to become a problem. Even through near immortalization, death was catching up. Hopefully this last adventure will be quite the success.

With a quick utterance the orb shines dimly and the mages appearance becomes distorted. You find that its really quite hard to see him, even up close, as his form shifts and blurs, blending into the background. Barely visible, Korvis then proceeds to cast another spell quickly, causing the orb to once again flash briefly as the party is engulfed in a white light, removing mans bond to the earth. He then flys off away from the party, disappearing completely in the distance.

Minor action: Cast Blur. Gives a +2 power bonus to all defenses and causes Korvis to become invisible to anyone not within 5 squares of him.

Standard action: Casts Mass Fly. Everyone within 5 squares (everyone but Fathi I believe) gains a fly speed of 8 until the end of Korvis' next turn (unless I sustain minor, which I will).

Move action: Fly's south and east as far as possible (within 8 squares, hugging the wall), but touches down when the movement ends.

[Mando Knight]

...Remember, you're on the surface of an infinite plane. "As far South as Possible" is... impossible... other than 8 squares straight south...

Alrighty... I'd like to implement a coordinate system, if you will...
The origin point (0,0) is the lower-left corner of the SpellJammer's area, so Arko is currently at (5,-1), and Tiamat's center is located at (70,4).

...also, Final Boss Theme!

(OOC: Unfortunately, his +31 to attack does include the morningstar's enhancement bonus. If you see something that I'm missing, though, feel free to point that out.

Also, she takes -2 to all saves from No Respite, which is active whenever he is within 5 squares of her or any enemy (I'm lacking MP at the moment, so if someone could check that, I'd appreciate it).

Another thing; Felling Gash is Rattling, meaning she takes a -2 to attack rolls until the end of her next turn (I'm assuming this only Ms. Red Head, for now.) She probably needs to roll a save against that, too...)

[Mando Knight]

Here, I'll boost it up to a -8 penalty because I totally didn't expect it...

...Oops, it changed nothing!

It is, however, only against adjacent enemies, which fortunately for you, she was/is.

...somehow, I thought that your attack bonus was higher... guess that just means that the Warlord will have to pump out more bonuses. Have to give you credit for audacity, though... leaping nearly 300' away from your support in order to attack That Which Man Was Not Meant To Poke takes some guts...
