Buffs: 2 Rounds.

Observers

Round 1: Vigor +35 Temporary HP
Round 2: Overchanneled Expansion (Huge) 10 min/level

[Aecus]

Forgot to roll initiative and another roll.

[roll0]

Observers

[roll1]

[Tanaric]

Buff rounds:Round 1: Activate scroll of Scintillating Scales. Fly up to +60 elevation.
Round 2: Activate bite of the werebear contingency, become ethereal, activate true seeing, activate scroll of Forceward. Reaver becomes ripper. Float up to +150

Init: [roll0]

I'll take blue.

[Aecus]

Do I see you and if I do what do I see?



You currently see a Huge Sized human with feathery wings and metal gauntlets, along with various other accessories.

[Tanaric]

Vison modes?

[Aecus]

No magical concealment works, other than that none.

[Tanaric]

You don't see anything.

Edit: I take that back. You see a 5-ft sphere of silvery light in N-26, +150 elevation.

[Aecus]

Edit: Ignore this, let me rethink.

[Aecus]

Eh I end up doing the same thing anyway.

The huge man flies over to the at X, Y, Z 1-3 and takes a dive into it.


Move action to fly to the water.
Move action to dive into the water 40ft, 20ft if swim check is failed.
Fail swim check on a natural one
[roll=1d20]

[Aecus]

Le sigh...


And a roll for the sharks even though they can't do anything. I want to see how many I have nibbling on me by the end :smallsigh:

[roll0] Low bad

Observers

[roll1]

[Tanaric]

Ookay...

You can't see me, but I'm taking a running dive into the ocean at Y-2.

Do I see you? I have actions remaining.

Observers:Activate boots of haste, do the above.

[Aecus]

You should see me 40ft down.

[Tanaric]

The sphere of light passes through you to -50.

If you can cast spells:You're aware that you cannot cast defensively without bad things happening.

Observers:Swift "water jump" to Y-2, -50.

[Tanaric]

Wait a tick. You probably occupy -50. Make that -60 if you do.

[Aecus]

The Giant disappears.

If you can see invisible

He is still there, ghostly and insubstantial.



If you are ethereal (this is also a question)

He is solidly right next to you. What does he see if this is so?



I am not sure whether this applies yet but if you can cast spells.


You are aware you cannot cast defensively.



I still have actions left.




Edit: I occupy -40 to -55.

Edit2: I forgot, for observers.


Swift Action: Empy Self

[Tanaric]

Ah. Hello there.

I'm ethereal.

You see a taller than normal warforged in Y-2 -60, wearing a chain shirt and sprouting glimmering fur from spaces where wood would normally be. His head is distended into the maw of a bear. The head of his two-handed spear is serrated and sharply pointed, and it seems to constantly flicker between the ethereal and material. He has large, feathery wings that seem very out of place.

[Aecus]

Make an opposed attack roll verse a disarm check.

[roll0] +2 if you can cast arcane spells or have invocations.

If that fails

A second disarm check
[roll1] Again +2 if you cast arcane spells or invocations



I still have actions left.


Edit: Forgot observers again


Standard Action: Start of a flurry

[Tanaric]

The warforged murmurs "Pierce the heavens" before struggling against your blow.

Opposed attack roll: [roll0]

[Tanaric]

Do I get an opposed roll to disarm you after the first, or no?

[Aecus]

Ah sorry no you do not. Edit: I don't provoke a disarm.

Unless you think you can disarm my arms, but that wouldn't be fair.

[Tanaric]

Opposed disarm 2: [roll0]

...crap.

Edit: Wait a second.

[Tanaric]

Those are unarmed disarms, yes?

If so, you're now holding a longsword, not a spear. Its blade flickers between the ethereal and material.

Still your turn?

[Aecus]

That was a close one. Edit: Yes sorry, its still my turn and that was an unarmed disarm.


I'm a bit fuzzy on the rules for grappling with items in hand so if I can keep hold of the longsword I do so. If I cannot, and I can throw it away with with a free action I do so, if I can't do that I simply drop it.


I do not provoke an attack of opportunity


I do a touch attack to start a grapple.

[roll0] +2 if you have Arcane Spells.

Opposed Grapple roll

[roll1]

If that Succeeds take

[roll2] + [roll3] (If you cast arcane spells) Bludgeoning Damage



If that Succeeds


Opposed grapple roll to do damage.

[roll4]

[roll5] + [roll6] (If you cast arcane spells) Bludgeoning Damage

If that fails

Another touch attack to start a grapple.

[roll7] +2

Opposed Grapple Roll

[roll8]

[roll9] + [roll10] (If you cast arcane spells) Bludgeoning Damage

[Tanaric]

You have the longsword in hand.

Both touch attacks miss.

Done?

[Aecus]

Yes I am done.

[Tanaric]

The warforged draws a shortspear and jumps down five feet. The spear ignites.

I believe you get an AoO for this before I do anything else.

[Aecus]

If you mean jumps up and then jumps down... okay.

[roll0] +2 If you can cast arcane.

[Tanaric]

The ethereal plane doesn't have gravity. Direction is only relevant for the map, really.

Opposed: [roll0]

[Tanaric]

Ugh.

The warforged kicks at you four times in rapid succession.

[roll0] for [roll1]
[roll2] for [roll3]
[roll4] for [roll5]
[roll6] for [roll7]

I need to know which, if any, hit.

[Aecus]

Ouch, all of them do.


The huge human looks like he has had better days. MANY better days.

[Tanaric]

You're subjected to the effect of Greater Dispel Magic three times.

[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]
[roll3]

[roll23]
[roll24]
[roll25]
[roll26]
[roll27]
[roll28]
[roll29]

Any visual effects?

[Aecus]

He shrinks tremendously. Besides that you do not see anything.

[Tanaric]

Your turn.

[Aecus]

A single attack that ignores all bonuses to AC granted by spells, and will dispel any spells that give such AC bonuses.

[roll0]

[roll1]



I still have actions left.

[Tanaric]

Miss.

tenletters.

[Aecus]

The Human flaps his wings mightily and moves to +680 Y (720 ft up), or in the case that a dive like that does not work in the Ethereal he simply moves to +320 Y (360 ft up)

He does not provoke an AoO.

Your turn.


This right now is a delaying action :smallsigh: I should have done this a turn earlier.



Observers

Used the Belt of Battle for a Full Round Action to Withdraw in a dive upwards. Then a move action to move further upwards.

[Tanaric]

By which method is he avoiding an AoO?

It's relevant.

Also, mind that travel on the ethereal is half speed.

[Aecus]

How did you reach me in the first round then?


He is using a withdraw option.



And if a dive is possible use the second numbers, half them if a dive is not.

[Tanaric]

I have a great deal of movement available to me, as well as three virtual move actions a round if I need them.

Withdraw is a full-round action, so I can only surmise that you used a belt of battle for an extra standard action.

I have the Thicket of Blades stance, which lets me take an AoO for your movement regardless.

[roll0] for [roll1]

[Aecus]

And that is game.

I guess I still have a lot to learn.



If you don't mind me asking, how did you get so many abilities out? Crusader and contingency spells (for what I guess is Bite of the Werebear?)

[Tanaric]

Disciplined Aptitude for Crusader so I didn't need very many levels, and the contingency only takes cash.

Or did you mean how I activated them all in two rounds?

[Aecus]

Ah no, that answers my questions thank you.


I am hesitant to use contingency crafted spells but apparently that needs to change. This was quite informative. Good fight.

[Aecus]

Actually one more question if possible. How did you get all of those dispels off?

[Tanaric]

Dispelling weapon.
