Boss #1 CR: 4 Chak’ranan; The Scream of Death

The thing across from you is a large white cat with brown spots and a thick grey/brown mane. It flicks its tail impatiently, sizing you up. It looks hungry, though a cat didn't get that big by missing many meals.

(Note regarding the battle area. It is enclosed, with 20ft ceilings and rough cut stone walls surrounding it. There are no apparent entrances or exits).

EDIT: Forum die roller went screwy so I rolled init by hand.

Keylin sends energy down his weapon, making it translucent. Next he runs at the beast in front of him, stopping 10 feet from it and attacks, channeling his dark energy through his weapon at the moment of impact.

Keylin succeeds in pissing off the giant cat, but doesn't seem to injure it too badly. It snarls at the blow.

Gila (the name I am adhoc-ing for my character) darts forward (Moving to J10), and lets loose a quick chant, slapping a quick spash of acid sizzling out towards the beast.

[roll0]Ranged Touch
If hit: [roll1] and 1 negative level

[tigerusthegreat]

The beast snarls at the acid and energy drain. However, it focuses instead on your partner. Stepping forward, it snaps and claws at Keylin. In a shower of gore, there is very little left of him once the monster is done (24 damage).

[Vulaas]

{Remembering the -1 to attacks for negative levels? Damn, this thing is mean. Also, I count it at 16 damage, as negative levels give -5 hit points}

Gila swears and throws another orb of acid at the monster, hoping to wear it down enough to defeat, before calmly walking forward towards the beast.

[roll0] Ranged touch: Fell Draining Acid splash
[roll1] Acid damage + negative level

Movement ends in I11

[tigerusthegreat]

The creature seems to be weakening, whether from your spell's damage or from the draining effects of their fel energy. It snarls at you, and it seems as if its skull and flesh separate. You feel fear grip your very soul, and seek any means to escape the creature. As if that weren't bad enough its thunderous footsteps come nearer, and it stands partially over you, its menacing teeth and deformed face are truly terrifying.

OOC: I did forget about the negative level when I rolled the attacks earlier, but subtracted them before applying damage, it was still sufficient. I'm also not using the -5 hp as damage as I am reducing max HP by that amount (doing both is double counting.


Your will save vs fear effect [roll0]

[Vulaas]

As the beast closes, I'll use my immediate action to move back to k11.

From there, I shall run to the back wall and cast Mage Armor on myself.

[tigerusthegreat]

You teleport and run in fear, protecting yourself with your magic as you do so. That doesn't seem to stop the beast. It runs towards you, seeking vengeance.

(If you want to teleport away you can, if not I'll resolve the attack)

[Vulaas]

On second thought, I'll let the attack happen.

[tigerusthegreat]

The monster seems quite unable to bite you, thanks to your quick movements and tiny size. You are, however, still terrified of it.

[roll0]
[roll1]

[Vulaas]

The small creature lashes out at his enemy, cowering and spitting a strange murky liquid into it's eyes.

I need a DC17 reflex save from the monster.

[tigerusthegreat]

The creature manages to turn his head away from the spittle, and it misses his eyes.
[roll0]

[tigerusthegreat]

The beast bites and claws at you but you manage to evade it. You feel the gripping terror start to fade, but it is still terrifying (last round. Stats and map unchanged)

[Vulaas]

The little lizard man cowers from the beast and spits at its eyes again, though not moving from it's location.

[tigerusthegreat]

You try again to spit in its eyes, but the beast proves too quick for you. Fortunately, your magical armor also wards off the worst of its attacks. Your fear of it is also disappearing.

Gila watches its casting and throws one last casting of draining acid at it.

[roll0] Concentration

[roll2] Damage (Acid) + negative level

[tigerusthegreat]

Chak'ranan seems even further drained by your magic. It only is attacking half-heartedly. It shows in the attacks, as none come close to hitting you.

Gila, chittering something about how this is going to take a while in its lizardy tongue before walking over to N15, drawing his bow in the process and shooting the Krenshar

[roll0] Attack
[roll1] Damage

[tigerusthegreat]

You nimbly dodge the creature's bite as you flee from it. Your bowshot wounds the creature as well. In anger, it charges you, but cannot get through your defenses.

Your arrows deflects off the beats's thick hide despite its reckless attack towards you. It steps forward and claws and bites desperately at you. One of the claw strikes hits, ripping your arm open (6 damage).

The arrow bounces harmlessly off the beasts's thick hide. It continues to beat against your magic shielding, unable to get through.

*poke* You still there?

[mrcarter11]

I'm still here.. I'm not so sure if my ally is here or not.. I'm quite curious to know if he is though.
