Buff rounds:

Round 1: Standard action to activate Bead of Karma. +4 to caster level.
Round 2: Cast Giant Vermin to summon 3 Huge monstrous centipedes.
Round 3: Cast Anti-life shell.
Round 4: Cast Crawling Darkness.
Round 5: Cast Sudden Extended Holy Star. Spell turning: [roll0]

I'll be starting in C2. If you are not hiding behind a pillar, you can see
3 huge monstrous centipedes appear, one in each space between the pillars. Let me know if you need clarification on the location, I just thought it be simpler to state it this way.

Initiative:

What senses do you have? I have True Seeing up.

Adumbration

2009-09-19, 02:23 AM

You go first, apparently. I currently have Scent out to 60 ft.

Olo Demonsbane

2009-09-19, 02:29 AM

Well, you smell...death. Dun dun dun dun...

OOSahir flys over to F1-G2 and casts Greater Dispel Magic. Undead move down to the other end, the specteres crowding around him and the wraith and the shadows spring attacking him.

A giant dragon swoops over by you (F1-G2, 30ft up), and its rider, a man wearing imposing armor carrying a shield and a spear, salutes you coldly before pointing his spear at you. A beam of white light shoots from its tip and strikes you draining any enhancements that you already have cast.

Greater Dispel Magic, Im afraid, could you please list your buffs (in a spoiler) and tell me how many there are?

Adumbration

2009-09-19, 02:37 AM

Character description (at the moment):
In C2, you see a cloud of dark, writhing tentacles. Although it is hard to tell, the shape is the size of a medium creature, possibly a humanoid.

An interesting question: can you use Targeted spells on creatures with concealment? True Seeing does not negate this effect.

In case I'm wrong, and you can - here's my buff list. A total of 3 buffs:
1: Holy Star, CL 17.
2: Crawling Darkness, CL 17
3: Anti-life shell, CL 17.

Olo Demonsbane

2009-09-19, 02:47 AM

Im almost certain you can. I looked it up, and nothing contradicted it...

Dispel 1 [roll0]
Dispel 2 [roll1]
Dispel 3 [roll2]

After the dispel goes off, you see that you are surrounded by 8 ghostlike creatures. Two Shadows swoop past you, and a large cloud of smoke travels right next to you. They all seem to be reaching for your life force.

Ghost Touch Attack [roll3]
Damage [roll4] and 2 negative levels
Ghost Touch Attack [roll5]
Damage [roll6] and 2 negative levels
Ghost Touch Attack [roll7]
Damage [roll8] and 2 negative levels
Ghost Touch Attack [roll9]

Ghost Touch Attack [roll13]
Damage [roll14] and 2 negative levels
Ghost Touch Attack [roll15]
Damage [roll16] and 2 negative levels
Ghost Touch Attack [roll17]

Shadow Touch Attack [roll19]
Damage [roll20] Strength damage
Shadow Touch Attack [roll21]
Damage [roll22] Strength damage

Smoke Touch Attack [roll23]
Damage [roll24] and make a DC 25 Fortitude save or take [roll25] Constitution drain.

End Turn.

Adumbration

2009-09-19, 02:51 AM

Even if that doesn't kill me, the next round surely will, despite your horrible, horrible rolls. :smallwink:

Want a quick rematch, without the ability of summoning on buff rounds?

EDIT: To sum it up: 10 negative levels, 37 damage, 7 strength damage. Actually, that does kill my character.

Olo Demonsbane

2009-09-19, 02:53 AM

Not right now, I have to go to bed.

OTOH, tommorow I'll fight, if you want, though with a different character, this guy is very limited without his summons.

Adumbration

2009-09-19, 10:22 PM

Just woke up. 6 am here, hope I'm not too late. 6+all day works for me. :smallsmile:

[roll1]

Starting in, say, J2.

Description, if you gain LoS:

In C2, you see a cloud of dark, writhing tentacles. Although it is hard to tell, the shape is the size of a medium creature, possibly a humanoid. A bright star hovers over it, a spark of light revealing nothing.

EDIT: Oh, and senses this time include True Seeing in addition to the 60 ft Scent.

Adumbration

2009-09-20, 12:55 AM

F7? I thought you were supposed to start at one end of the map, not the middle of it?

Anyway, you win initiative.

Olo Demonsbane

2009-09-20, 01:03 AM

I guess I go first.

Move to F2, Ready an action to attack if you try to cast a spell, use White Raven Tactics to use Pouncing Charge with Burning Blade.

A man wielding two kukris runs around past the collum (to F2), then charges you.

Extra Damage [roll1]

Now, assuming you arent dead, tell me how many attacks hit, and I'll tell you what else happens to you :smalleek:

Adumbration

2009-09-20, 01:08 AM

A) Read my post about the starting position.
B) Roll for concealment, if you can do that from the other end of the map. (20% miss chance.)

Olo Demonsbane

2009-09-20, 01:13 AM

A) I know. I actually took more than one full round action that turn.

B) Is it an illusion or anything similar? Because blindsight negates that.

Adumbration

2009-09-20, 01:16 AM

A) I know. I actually took more than one full round action that turn.

B) Is it an illusion or anything similar? Because blindsight negates that.

Oh, okay. And no, it is not an illusion: it is Conjuration (creation), actually.

And becouse of being a bit dumbfounded by the massive attack, I almost forgot one of my major buffs. Anti-life shell. Do you have 10 ft reach, or are you a construct, elemental, outsider, or undead?

Olo Demonsbane

2009-09-20, 01:22 AM

Um...no.

So...um...does that count as my move action, and I can take a standard once I stop within 10ft of you?

Adumbration

2009-09-20, 01:24 AM

Um...no.

So...um...does that count as my move action, and I can take a standard once I stop within 10ft of you?

Sure, go ahead.

Olo Demonsbane

2009-09-20, 01:27 AM

I ready an action to attack you if you move next to me, and switch my stance to Pearl of Black Doubt.

End Turn.

Adumbration

2009-09-20, 01:28 AM

So, did you do anything visible, e.g. move? Are you still in front of my character?

Olo Demonsbane

2009-09-20, 01:30 AM

No, I didnt do anything visible. Yes, Im within 10ft of you.

Adumbration

2009-09-20, 01:35 AM

All righty then.

First, the small star hovering over the tentacled mass burns brighter, and suddenly releases a ray of fire on you.

Ranged touch attack:
[roll0]
Damage (fire):
[roll1]

Then, taking a 5-foot step back, you hear sounds of a spell cast from inside the shadows, and a vertical column of fire descends down upon you. Take 90 damage, half of which is fire damage and half divine power. Reflex save DC 22 for half.

Breakdown of actions:
Free action to designate Holy Star to Fire Bolt mode, 5-foot step back, standard action to cast Sudden Maximized Flame Strike.

EDIT: End of turn.

Olo Demonsbane

2009-09-20, 01:43 AM

Ok...this kinda sucks. Can you believe that I forgot to buy a ranged weapon?

Reflex Save [roll0]

The man seems much less injured than you hoped he would be. He does grimace a little bit though.

Tallis reaches down and picks up a few stones off the ground. He then chucks one at the blob.

Attack [roll1] (+1 = 31)
Miss chance [roll2], 1 misses
Damage [roll3]

Regained manuevers

End Turn.

Adumbration

2009-09-20, 01:51 AM

Weell, I was pretty much counting on it that most melee characters will forget ranged options. I know I did when I first encountered the spell. (Won anyway, though. Managed to whoop his ass on the casting time.)

The star fires again. It's a bit like that shouldercannon of the Predators. :smallbiggrin:

Ranged touch attack:
[roll0]
Damage (fire):
[roll1]

And then, let's see. You hear sounds of casting - again - and a flail made out of force appears out of thin air, attempting to smack you over the head.

Attack:
[roll2]
Damage :
[roll3]

End of turn.

EDIT: The stone misses, by the way. You hear a plink, as if hitting armor.

Olo Demonsbane

2009-09-20, 01:54 AM

The flail misses, though the bolt of fire connects.

Putting his rocks away for now, Tallis quickdraws his kukris and fullattacks himself, intentionally missing.

End Turn.

EDIT: I didnt realize how one of my abilities worked...can I undo this turn?

Adumbration

2009-09-20, 02:02 AM

I have a feeling there's some sort of shenanigan going on here...

You know the drill. Shouldercannon fires, blah-blah-blah.

Ranged touch attack:
[roll0]
Damage (fire):
[roll1]

Flail attacks:

Attack:
[roll2]
Damage:
[roll3]

Again, sounds of casting echo from the darkness. Then a dreadfully loud noise, a shrill cry echoes forth, striking you like a lance. 80 damage, make a fortitude save DC 21 for half.

How injured do you look?

OO:
Sudden maximized Sound lance. Other actions need no explanations, I think.

Adumbration

Tallis starts chucking rock. Assuming they're reasonably roundish...

+13/+13/+8/+3/+13/+13/+8

When the first of the +13s miss, if any, I use Lightning Ritochet to reroll.

Wow, bad rolling.

Crit Conformation [roll0]
Extra Damage [roll1]

Adumbration

2009-09-20, 02:11 AM

2 of the rocks hit something softer than armor, others mostly rain down on hard armor, judging from the sound of it. See my turn above, and then take yours again.

Olo Demonsbane

2009-09-20, 02:14 AM

Fortitude Save [roll0]

Tallis falls unconcious.

Nice going...I cant believe I forgot to include a throwing weapon :smallfurious:

Adumbration

2009-09-20, 02:20 AM

Mr. Chest sits down and thinks long and hard about the effects of his protective spell. Then he proceeds to blow the rest of his offensive spells on the corpse, before going to loot it. (This includes another Sound Lance, Searing Light, Blade barrier, a few more shots of the Holy star, several blows from the flail, and summoning 3 monstrous centipedes to poke at the corpse.)

Anyway, unless you're really faking it, good match. I really thought you had me there before I remembered Anti-life shell. :smallsmile:

Olo Demonsbane

2009-09-20, 02:26 AM

Adumbration

2009-09-20, 02:34 AM

Heh, not to mention the fact that for every two times I hit you, you would be having to make 2 Fortitude saves against status effects...and I'd get to trip you...

I was at -7. No, I wasnt faking it, though that would have been a decent idea.

Jeah. I was pretty much counting on the Anti-life shell to save my ass, and so the last round's undead summons caught me offguard pretty bad.

Now, I would be very curious on hearing your best guess on my character's class combination (and possibly tier, if you can be bothered.) :smallamused:
