Test of Spite exhibition, Tanaric vs. Claudius Maximus

[Tanaric]

Preference on map and number of buff rounds?

[Claudius Maximus]

Any map is good, as long as it isn't so small that the whole thing is in your reach.

I'd like a few buff rounds. All days up and 3 sound good?

[Tanaric]

Two buff rounds, plus the one "virtual" buff round provided by this map?

[Claudius Maximus]

(LoS determined by IM)

At the beginning of the Draw round, you see an older woman with black and gray hair in C10. She is wearing a baggy yellow outfit, and though you see no armor you can not rule out concealed light armor. She bears a buckler in her left hand, and has a scythe on her back, along with a backpack. Her right hand is covered with a black, spiked gauntlet.

She invisible, and has green-blue scales. Your true seeing defeats both these effects. You may make 2 spellcraft checks for these.

Her actions are to cast two spells. She moves her mouth during casting but makes no sound.

First spell, DC 21:
Empyreal Ecstasy
You see her swagger a bit.

Second spell, DC 20:
Armor of Darkness
A great mass of darkness surrounds her. You can see through it with True Seeing.

She then mouths a word that you don't hear. You may spot to read lips.

End draw round.

[Tanaric]

You see a huge black-feathered bird centered on X-10 +200. Its head is covered in sharply pointed feathers reminiscent of slick scales, with one large one sticking straight up above a heavy beak. Its massive wings are tipped with vicious claws. Shining gold full plate barding guards its body from physical harm.

A warforged stands on the ground below the beast, shimmering black fur sprouting from places where wood would be on others of his kind. His head is distended into that of a bear, with a mouth full of sharp teeth, and of all things he wears a pair of blue-lensed spectacles. A pair of feathery gray wings sprouts from his back. He is taller and thinner than most warforged, though still medium-sized. He wears a chain shirt, a belt, and boots, in addition to traditional monastic garb. In his hands is a longspear seemingly made of compressed water.

[Tanaric]

Activate Boots of Speed.

The warforged leaps to F-10, spear igniting as he goes, then murmurs "pierce the heavens" and readies an action. The bird flies around a bit to end centered on M-2, +225.

Ready action to stab with Pierce Magical Protection as soon as the voice says "Draw".

[Tanaric]

As soon as the voice booms "DRAW!" the warforged stabs at you. This attack ignores all magical concealment and any bonuses to AC granted by spells.

[roll0] for [roll1] + 52 fire + 13 forge fire.

You need one more dispel check. :smalltongue:

[Tanaric]

[roll0]whitetext.

[Claudius Maximus]

Myrrhine 5-steps to B10, which according to IM provokes. Do your worst.

[Tanaric]

[roll0] for [roll1] + 52 fire + 13 forge fire.

Remember the fire vulnerability.

[Tanaric]

And another dispel check, as requested.

[roll0]

[Claudius Maximus]

She casts a spell, DC 19:
Divine Power

She then casts another spell as a swift action, DC 19:
Celerity. Yeah, on my turn.

She then casts a third spell, DC 17:
Lahm's Finger Darts

The fingers on her left hand all fly out towards you. They strike you and explode into magical energy.

[roll0]

If it breaks any SR you might have and hits:
You take 20 dexterity damage.

Also, I'll make a Knowledge: nature check to see what she knows about the bird: [roll1]

[Tanaric]

Spellcraft: [roll0]
Spellcraft: [roll1]
Spellcraft: [roll2]

[Tanaric]

You turn me into something with as much dexterity as a wooden plank. Contingent Heal triggers.

The warforged jumps to E-10, spear igniting as he goes, then stabs at you four times in rapid succession. The bird flies down to be centered on B-10 +10 elevation.

[roll0] for [roll1] + 52 fire damage + 13 forge fire
[roll2] for [roll3] + 52 fire damage + 13 forge fire
[roll4] for [roll5] + 52 fire damage + 13 forge fire
[roll6] for [roll7] + 52 fire damage + 13 forge fire

Since you're dazed for a round, have a full attack from the bird and another flurry after the warforged jumps up five feet to light his spear.

Claw: [roll8] for [roll9]
Claw: [roll10] for [roll11]
Bite: [roll12] for [roll13]
Wing: [roll14] for [roll15]
Wing: [roll16] for [roll17]

[roll18] for [roll19] + 52 fire damage + 13 forge fire
[roll20] for [roll21] + 52 fire damage + 13 forge fire
[roll22] for [roll23] + 52 fire damage + 13 forge fire
[roll24] for [roll25] + 52 fire damage + 13 forge fire

If you survive that, the bird falls on your head.

[Claudius Maximus]

The second attack kills her.
