AG16: ICC game thread. (In Character Context)

[nijineko]

{where are you located in relation to the rug? }

[jkfoote]

I was standing right next to Master Kloome

[nijineko]

{more specifically, where is everyone spatial-relationally located when attempting to activate the rug? sorry for the delays over this question, but as it happens it has significance. }

[jkfoote]

[well we are close enough to be holding hand, is that what you mean?]

[nijineko]

{more specific, actually. so, from what i've gathered so far, Sarissa is closest and everyone else is in a chain? is the chain a line? or since several were standing next to Master Kloome, is it more of a group? and she going to reach over and touch the gem from where she's standing? just need a precise physical description.... basically, this will determine how many go through at a time, that's all. which might be important. ^^ }

[jkfoote]

{i would say that we where all standing around the rug, and then just moved closure to hold hand, but still circling the rug in a way} [if there are no objections?]

[nijineko]

There is an expectant pause. Sarissa and Maleficent lean over and touches the gem. Everyone has just enough time to brace themselves as it glows. Nothing happens. However, the gem continues to glow and there is that 'sense' of leashed power just waiting for an outlet.

[jkfoote]

"maybe we all need to be touching the gem?"

[nijineko]

{if no one thinks of it, characters can make an int or wis check (whichever better) to figure out why it didn't work. }

[Kranchan]

Int Check
Wis Check

Hmm I wonder why it didn't work.

[Kranchan]

<.< Bad roll was bad.

[jkfoote]

Int Check
Wis Check
Cha Check

[ooc]Does my striking good looks get me any answers.:D[ooc]

[nijineko]

{heheheh. in a perfect world...}

It occurs to some of you that Master Kloome was kneeling ON the rug, whereas everyone now are simply gathered around the rug.

[Midnight]

and touch the gem, at the same time. What happens?

[nijineko]

Big reddish flash. There is a peculiar sensation, half-sliding, half-falling. You seem to bounce off of something several times before finally continuing on. There is a brief sensation of danger and inimical intent. Finally there is another red flash. Everything slowly fades from red into the other colors of the spectrum.

Sound returns with a roar. Literal roar. Multiple roars. Almost on top of you looms a multi-headed monstrosity! Blue-white, scales, snapping fangs, lots of heads is all you have time to take in before the creature attacks!

{initiative rolls, please. }

[Midnight]

Sarissa's initiative

Sarissa yells, "By all the gods!" and appears rather discombobulated by the sudden appearance of the beast.

[Kranchan]

Veld
Gil

[jkfoote]

IMPERIUS REX!!!

[nijineko]

waiting for micro420 and toren utgard.

[Toren Utgard]

Arivale, who had noticed everyone else kneel followed suit.

Initiative

OOC: :D sweet

[nijineko]

{i'm going to give a bit more time for micro to reply, then i'll just npc the character temporarily if i have to. ^^ }

[nijineko]

The creature's heads whip back at your sudden appearance, but quickly thrust forward to take advantage of this unexpected bounty.... You belatedly hear a yell from Master Kloome, "Look out!" He is sprawled over against the wall of the dome by the gate.

The monster eagerly looks forward to a snack!



Initiative results:

Toren Utgard: 20
Gil: 18
Veld: 13
Maleficant: 10
Sarissa: 08
Hydra: 04

Temporarily in stasis: Dreena. dm rolls Dreena's init, just in case.

{dm sighs at the imminent fate of the poor hydra, who apparently wants to pick and choose which tasty morsel to eat first.... feel free to post one round's actions. i will apply them in the order of initiative. }

[jkfoote]

Re Done see below!!

[Midnight]

Sarissa activates the Hustle power of her crown with Use Psionic Device (needs a 20 on 1d20+18). Then she moves in and does a full attack, with a 2-point Power Attack. Note: She will not, of course, activate Hustle if she's already within a 5' step of the hydra.

UPD
Full attack (with damage rolls):
First attack roll Damage
Second attack roll Damage
Third attack roll Damage

[Midnight]

2 fumbles!! :mad: Oh well, possible critical thrown in there.
Crit confirmation roll
Extra damage if confirmed
This is in addition to the already-rolled 21 points of damage, of course.

[jkfoote]

If any of the heads are taken out before my turn I cast Melf's Acid Arrow to seal one of them to prevent regrowth.

Melf's
Initial Dmg
Rnd 2 Dmg
Rnd 3 Dmg
Rnd 4 Dmg
Rnd 5 Dmg

If a head hasn't been taken out by my turn then I cast Magic Missile.

Magic Missile

[Kranchan]

...ok so in the initial roll i botched the amount of dmg that gil's 2nd claw is supposed to do. it does 1d4 not 1d2. and his bite attack is only at +14 not +20 so the roll should end up being 17. also ignore the reroll.

Claw 2 Crit Confirm!

[nijineko]

{ waiting on toren utgard....

and while i'm posting, please specify if you are attacking the main body or going for one of the heads by editing your post, if you have already posted. }

[Kranchan]

Gil is going for the heads. If I'm casting magic missile it says that I can't target specific parts of the creature with it.

[Midnight]

I don't like eating an AOO for every time I attack a head. BTW remember that the hydra has a 20% miss chance against her due to her gleaming armor.

[nijineko]

{posting on behalf of (micro)dreena: }

Dreena sees Master Kloome against the wall, without any defense. He uses the group as cover and retreats towards Master Kloome, taking up a defensive stance between him and the monster.

[nijineko]

{posting on behalf of (toren utgard)arivale: }

Arivale raises his bow to attack. There is a sudden surge of odd energy from the rug... somehow it seems off. The surge hits Arivale and pops outward from him, shunting everyone harmlessly over a few feet. He disappears with a reddish flash, and is immediately replaced with two reddish flashes. Two new individuals are now standing where Arivale was.

[nijineko]

{okay everyone, i finally got my week's schoolwork done, so now i can go over the responses and cobble together the rounds' actions. one more thing, i would like for dax thura to roll initiative for his two characters, and post their actions. ^^ }

[Dax Thura]

I forgot to note in the character description how Jacinth glows with the light of the sun (per Daylight spell). Oops, I forgot about the effects of the Profane Rain. Please disregard the Daylight effect. Shashakhad usually looks like a rather nondescrept human. I've adjusted my character descriptions.


When we arrive Jacinth will have cast Bull's Strength on each of us as well as a Bless. Shashakhad will have set up the Mind Link between the two of us too. Another oops- disregard the Bull's Strength's and Bless spells.

Jacinth charges in at the hydra's body screaming, "Pelor guide my hand!"
attack
damage
confirm crit if necessary
extra damage from crit



Shashakhad shakes his head at Jacinth and holds his action, waiting to see if any of the others attack them. If they are attacked, he will shoot an arrow at the (first) attacker. If none of the people attack, he will not act this round.
attack
damage arrow + fire
confirm crit if necessary
extra damage from crit

By Mindlink, (StDK) What are you doing? These people could be the enemy. (JtB) No, the enemy are large attackers with clawed feet. These people are normal sized defenders with boots and shoes.

Oops, I forgot to add +3 to Jacinth's attacks and +2 to damage rolls for his increased strength and bless spell. Again please disregard.

[nijineko]

Gil rears and shambles forward with deceptive speed. He roars as he slashes with his long claws... severing a head with each heavy blow. The hydra screeches in pain, and snaps back at him. Gil's answering snap of his teeth closes on air. From the neck stumps some ichor spurts, but quickly stops.

Hydra takes opportunity to attack Gil!
The hydra's neck starts growing again!

Veld waves his hands and shouts, projecting a glimmering arrow at the hydra. With the thrashing of the heads, the arrow misses, and eats a shallow hole into the thick rock walls.

Maleficent thrusts a hand towards the hydra, and a bolt of livid purple projects from her outstretched limb. It strikes the hydra, leaving a burned wound on it's side. The hydra increases it's ear-splitting racket.

Sarissa moves over slightly and slashes at the hydra, weaving a glittering thread of steel. Her first solid strike lands upon a more heavily scaled region without much affect. Her second finds a soft spot and cuts deep. Her third solid strike is, alas, highly effective against the now broken flagstone tile of the courtyard.

One of the two newly arrived men promptly attack the hydra landing a heavy blow, but the other looks around warily, assessing the situation.

The hydra shakes its head frills in rage, and gapes open the many mouths. Jets of mist spray forth, raining a freezing cold breath down on everyone.

The hydra attacks Gil, Veld and Maleficent!

Ignore previous post sorry

[Dax Thura]

Or should that be one save per attack?

[Midnight]

What are the d100 rolls for? Also, I was not clear on layout: Was Sarissa within 5' of the hydra? If so, she would not have used Hustle. Finally, what's the save DC for the hydra's breath? If it's a 10-headed hydra (which I assume it is because it breathed 10 times), then the DC would be 10+1/2 hydra's hit dice(5)+hydra's Con mod (5)=20.

In any case, Sarissa's saves are (Ref +16):
head 1, 11/5 damage
head 2, 14/7 damage
head 3, 9/4 damage
head 4, 17/8 damage
head 5, 9/4 damage

[Midnight]

So she took 11+7+4+8+4=34 points of damage. However, she has Energy Adaptation, which resists the first 30 points of damage, so she ends up taking 4.

Sarissa is bathed in the freezing mist, but her inner power protects her, absorbing it; she suffers only minor frostbite. She begins to glow with pale light. {ooc: She will be glowing for the next 30 rounds.}

[nijineko]

please reduce the damage you take accordingly. =D

Or should that be one save per attack?

yes, i do believe one save per attack.

What are the d100 rolls for?

the miss chance that was mentioned earlier.

Also, I was not clear on layout: Was Sarissa within 5' of the hydra?

yes, so you did not use hustle.

Finally, what's the save DC for the hydra's breath?

it's a twelve headed, gil severed two with his attacks. thus, the save dc is 22. but it will shortly be a 14-headed, if the party doesn't hurry.... =D

{sorry for the messy post, i'll pay closer attention to those details in the future! i'm still trying to figure a way to integrate maps with the posts, maybe i'll host an image or something. }

Ouch.

[Midnight]

Sarissa cries, "Unless you have a way to burn the stumps, forget the heads! We can damage the body enough to kill it, I think!"

She then coats her sword with acid and attacks. {ooc: She wild-surges with a 20% chance of enervation on a 01-20. If enervation occurs, she postpones it for 3 rounds with her Postpone Enervation feat. She then proceeds to manifest a quickened Dissolving Weapon at 19th level, expending her focus. With her Chaotic Surge ability, it does the following damage: 01-25, 50%; 26-50, 100%; 51-75, 150%, 76-100, maximized.

After that, she makes a full attack. She moves to flank Gil if possible. I am making rolls assuming that she does NOT have a flanking bonus; if she does, please add +2. She does not power attack.

Attack rolls:
At +20
At +15
At +10

[Midnight]

She is not enervated, and her power is maximized. Her acid does 13d6 (she's manifesting at 19th level, but loses 6 power points due to quickening). She hits (I assume 29 and 24 are hits) twice, missing once (with another fumble). Total damage=4d6+18 from the sword and 78 from acid.

[Kranchan]

Veld replys to Sarissa - "I'm trying!"

[Kranchan]

OOC did everyone quit playing?

[Dax Thura]

The game is on hiatus because Nijineko is moving. I suspect - hope really - to be playing again by the beginning of the year.

[nijineko]

{{{i'm hoping for a bit sooner than that... but to be honest, i won't know till i get there and settled in. ^^ i'm moving tomorrow, so i'll be offline for a week while we travel to our new location, at least, unless the stops along the way have free wifi. i don't know how long it'll be before i get access again. but if i have to drop by the local library or restaurant for wifi, i will. =D

so don't worry! i won't leave you hanging any longer than i have to! }}}

[Kranchan]

OOC: Oh ok.
