Did you count CA from Amirah and/or the +3 from Alvah, Reverent?

Can you update the map please? I'm not entirely sure who has teleported where and so on.

Gladly. Have some things to deal with, but definitely will be up this evening.

[Shadow_Elf]

Here's the new map.

Still need to know what, if any, of the extranneous bonuses RO counted, btw. It might've been a hit, depending on what bonuses are already assumed in his attack.

According to his sheet, his base attack bonus is +18, so it looks like he did not include any of the bonuses.

Ah, right, I should have just done that . So, with the +5 net conditional, that is a hit vs. AC.

I don't mind being a DM assistant. You already do plenty, like maps and run the game. Don't feel bad for delegating the stuff that can be done by the players to the players, if it helps the game run smoothly.

I can even lithp and develop a hump and thcarth, if you need me to, mathter.

[Chambers]

Whew. That took a while. Quick recap.

Elemental Bolt vs Dragon 1: 36 vs Reflex (45 lightning/thunder dmg)
Elemental Bolt vs Dragon 2: 29 vs Reflex (39 lightning/thunder dmg)

Static Charge vs Dragon 1: 39 vs Reflex (40 lightning/thunder dmg)
Static Charge vs Dragon 2: 34 vs Reflex (40 lightning/thunder dmg)
Static Charge vs Dragon 3: 29 vs Reflex (37 lightning/thunder dmg)

This reminds me of the fact that there's actually a dude in the maintenance team at work who is named Igor. It amuses me to no end.

[Scylfing]

Is his name pronounced "Eeegore" or "Eyegore"?

[Dekkah]

Nice round and rolls Chambers!.

Too bad that I missed with my own attack or you would had been able to prone all there dragons... sigh.

[Shadow_Elf]

That's a full set of hits from Jalil, but the dragons aren't going to take it sitting down. The dragons' Immediate Actions and the next enemy turn will be up tonight or tomorrow.

[Shadow_Elf]

Working on the enemy phase and map still, but I updated the first post with treasure, quest notes and whatnot. Grey Wolf, you can add 2460 Residuum to the group pot, and 9000 Residuum to Rahman's personal stock, when you've got the time.

It ith done, Mathter.

Speaking of which, did Jalil ever declare what reagents, if any, she bought?

[Chambers]

I'll have to double check. She bought whatever her rituals required and extra of the same kind, the extra going into the communal pot.

Ummm... no. That can't be. The communal pot is a virtual construct. We each have our own stash, and it is presumed that we all chip in equally for rituals that benefit us all, but there is no need to contribute to the common pot - unless you are leaving, in which case, Shadow Elf allowing, for accounting's sake, I move the stash of the people leaving to the common pot.

Grey Wolf

[Reverent-One]

Huh, not sure how I missed you asking about my to hit bonus, Shadow. Sorry to keep you waiting on that. Yeah, I totally missed those bonus's when rolling.

[Grey_Wolf_c]

Two quick notes:

Figment's banishment isn't like a summoning. I only pay a surge to bring her back, not when she leaves. Also, while fluff says she gets banished to the feywild, I'd rather change the fluff to Figment having dodged the attacks and tricked the enemy with illusions. That is because to bring her back is a minor action, which hardly can count as a summoning.

My understanding is that the -2 (save ends) would not carry over to any summonings, correct? (based on the fact that any temporal effects on my defences also don't get carried over)

Thanks,

Grey Wolf

[Dekkah]

Shadow : Did you take a decision on the Half-Genie powers?
Because if it still heal, I might activate it this turn... depends on what you decide.

[Shadow_Elf]

Still thinking, but I think I'll make it an aura 1 of 3/6/10 fire damage usable while bloodied for efreets, and a 3/6/10 THP aura 1 that works on the user for marids, also only usable while bloodied. These ought to be roughly in line with the other genie flavors.

My bad on Figment. Will fix that when I do the map update this evening.

Please remember to put an altitude counter on the dragons that are flying. I'd suggest '1' means that there is 1 empty square under them (i.e. anyone standing on the ground has an altitude of 0).

It looks like Jalil was attacked twice? Whichever dragon that attacks her takes 6 lightning/thunder damage, automatically. She also gets to use Static Charge against one of them. I'll roll it in a minute, on my phone now.

Also, looks like she escapes all damage from the breath weapon. It's halfed to 8.5 from being Insubstantial and het resistance takes care of the rest. Can you be knocked prone of you're Insubstantial?

Yes. Not sure about RAW (although my gut feeling is that it is yes by RAW too), but in any case we've knocked prone insubstantial creatures in this adventure before.

Edit: Shadow Elf, you say that all that are not trained are knocked prone. I assume this is a skill check. Does it really need training? I checked recently for a RAW question, and very few skills are trained only (detect magic springs to mind).

::looks at Rules Compendium::

Huh, guess it doesn't prevent it.

6 Lightning/Thunder damage to any dragon that attacked Jalil.

Immediate Reaction
Static Charge vs the first dragon to attack her while within range (close burst 3)
Attack (1d20+20)[32] vs Reflex
Damage (1d8+27)[28] lightning and thunder damage
Damage (1d6)[1] bonus damage

Her falling damage (7) is halved to 3 which is reduced by her 13 temp HP.

Status at end of Dragon's Turn:
HP: 101/101, Temp 10/13, Prone, Dazed

---

From the IC description "As her attack hits him, the dragon blocks part of it with his wing, absorbing some of the thunderous impact" does that mean the dragons had some resistance against Jalil's attacks? I ask because it's relevant for her Dagger implement. Also, she's got a +3 bonus on all Defenses vs Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, and Thunder, which would be relevant this fight. Not saying you forgot or anything, just a heads up.

[Dekkah]

Shadow : Did you roll my athletic to reduce the falling damage for me or is the 3 what I take without reducing it?

Also, I guess you did not update our status becasue if I understand your post correctly, I take 17 + 17 + 3 = 37 daamges.
I was at 84.... - 37 = 47... so I am bloodied.

So I kinda need to know what does my racial power do as I might use it if it works while bloodied now.

From what I understand, it will give an Aura 1 that gives 6 THP. to Alvah and his allies.
Will it keep working when I am no longer bloodied or does it ends (or is supressed until bloodied again)?

[ninja_penguin]

The maps unavailability makes me uncertain, but is the dragon that did the big breath attack weapon the one that was marked by Rahman? If so, I'd like to Rahman's Armor of Aegis Expansion as an interrupt to drop the damage by 13 to everybody. (trigger: A creature you have marked with Aegis of shielding targets you and at least one of your allies with an attack)

I think this was from falling damage, and the 'avoid falling damage and land on your feet' part of acrobatics is trained only to the best of my knowledge.

[Dekkah]

Yeah I know. I think Shadow might already have considered it and rolled the reduce damage for me (I am trained in acrobatics), but I am unsure if he did it or not.

[Reverent-One]

Also, Shadow, did you include the bonus damage I gave Rahman in his OA damage?

6 Lightning/Thunder damage to any dragon that attacked Jalil.

Attack [roll0] vs Reflex
Damage [roll1] lightning and thunder damage
Damage [roll2] bonus damage

The dragon used a one-turn resist spell to reduce the damage from that attack by 5. It is not an ongoing resistance to Thunder and Lightning. Even with the +3 to defenses and Protective Hex it is still a hit, but I did forget it. Will try to keep that in mind in future.

I already rolled for him Alvah has no damage from the fall and no prone. I said as much in the IC post I think.

Yes, it was that dragon. I will apply the damage reduction in the HP update I will do alongside the map update.

I did not. Adding that to my spreadsheet.

Only those trained in Acrobatics can perform a tumble check to land safely. Only Alvah is trained in Acrobatics, so only he can make such checks; unfortunately for the rest of y'all, this means that their breath weapon will often involve an extra 1d10 damage + prone.

IC Update should be done soon, assuming Photobucket cooperates.
