Balk, Thax and Revnik are waiting at the tavern.

Thax is flitting around, telling stories of his adventures, particularly to the young ladies, and coming back to their table at least once each round of drinks. He was a small thing, light on his feat, and able to sing loud enough for everyone in the bar to hear him. His swords shone in the light, but despite his impressive friends and fine swords, most thought him a harmless storryteller. Regardless, his looks and speach were fine, and many were fascinated with him.

Balk has an odd look on his face, showing his enjoyment of the hustle and life around him, combined with an impatience to be moving on. This look was comon on his face. No one approached him though. Even when shrunken down to a smaller size, he still made the locals uneasy, and his face, after years of battle, was nothing to brag about. His Tiefling traits were evident, making him shunned all the more, though none were bold enough to give him so much as a dirty look, hiding any such look in their mugs of beer so as to not give offense. His wings, black as night and feathery, he kept curled tight against his back, but made no real effort to hide. He knew who he was, and was not asshamed of who some ancestor might of been; he is not his ansestors, he is himself.

Revnik seemed bored, but kept their drinks cold and impressed a few people himself by playing with some fire in his hands. His coat looked dirty, though of great quality and durability, and his blonde hair was always slightly tossled. When he sat, he lounged back into the chair. When he spoke, he leaned in, just a hair too close. He actually smelled faintly of soap, and he neither sweaty or dirty, and yet somehow he looked like he should stink of the road, or of sweat, or of dust, or of smoke, or of a forge: it changed with the light.

They did not talk much among themselves, having already decided to meet up with the group they had heard was forming to investigate The Troubles. This was a part of the world Balk had never seen, and he was interested in traveling it and meeting its people. Thax said he had been there and that it was wonderful, though you could never tell with him if he was telling a harmless story or telling you a fact. Revnik said he had been there before meeting Thax, and that it was nothing special. He rarely lied, but you had to take his judgments with a grain of salt.

Hooded Figure

A hooded figure wanders the streets aimlessly, just letting his feet take him wherever. He looks around at the people and the goods being peddled around, as well as the shops, hoping his eyes would catch something interesting. But then again, for someone who has been almost everywhere, it is a hard thing to find something new. But then again, the opposite is almost always true as well; even though he has been to almost all the corners of the planes and in other planes of existence, the most interesting things always appear in the places you don't expect to find them: in the places you have been to over and over.

He turns right into a side street and notices some children playing with cloth dolls. One of them is crying; apparently the others are teasing her because she does not have her own doll. The hooded figure goes closer and a hand appears from inside his cloak with a doll that looks to be made of glass, but upon touching it, it is soft and elastic. He hands it to the little girl, who wipes her eyes from tears, looks at the doll, and looks up at him with a smile.

"Th..thank yoo, mister!" she says before running off towards the others and bragging about her new toy. When she points out where she got it, the hooded figure is nowhere to be seen.

*****

He stands atop one of the rooftops overlooking the appointed place of meeting, looking at the direction of their destination. A smile appears on his face. Indeed, there's always something to be found, and I found something rare this time: an innocent one's smile. Now what do you hold interesting for me?

He stands with divine grace, he moves easily through the crowds, he is certain. Some would call him arrogant, but that's not what he is, he knows his capabilities. He has studied the magic arcane, he is a subject of the Coatls and he knows he is good. He wears simple clothing, the most fancy is his belt on which certain runes are grafted and a single pure colored feather is intertwined in it, someone who checks the feather could maybe notice it was a Coatl-feather, something that shows part of his status. He wears a hat, which shows everything under the eyes. His hair is tied into a ponytail and looks like it is pure gold, he seems relaxed, able to react to everything. His skin is a nice warm teint of pink, his eyes are azureblue and his hands and body are gloved. When a part of his coat is blown a bit up by the wind you can see more protective runes in the layer as well as a dagger in a sheath in the coat.

Slowly he moves over the market taking in the sights, talking to some merchants and people on the street. Since he is seemingly unarmed they talk to him, he is an easy talker, people enjoy conversation with him, as he enjoys talking. Still he seems wary, his eyes flit from one side to the other, impossible to follow for others, but certain if someone experienced and carefully looking would check it. And so he makes his way to the inn where he was supposed to meet.

Coming there he asks the innkeeper for a can of watered down wine, he needs to be in control, as all magic users need to be. He was send here in a two-fold mission, by both organisations he works for. He sits down in a corner, looking into the crowd, puts his head on the tabel, ungloves his hands and smiles. It seems like the smile warms everyone, the innkeeper gives him his wine. He pays for it and fills a cup. Some onlookers see him making a small sign, a little movement of his lips and he starts drinking.

Cool intros everyone.

The established meeting point for the adventurers planing to save the world is at the southeast gate you all visited there a day earlier for a pep talk from the leader of the public safety organisation. He gave you all a run down of what was at stake on this job (the innocent people, the country, and the world) he rambled on for hours. Afterwards the Marshal gave you all a shorter more informative report on what they know "So far it covers an area about 2300 miles in diameter and some force in it is destroying large towns and then quickly retreating to its ever expanding domain"

THAX

Captain Thax, though enjoying the attention of the patrons, speaks upWell, I think it time I met the leaders here. We are all nobility in our own rights, well except Revnik, so its right rude of me not to call on the local royals. I don't suppose either of you want to accompany me? The other two know the glint in his eye, know they will only hold him back, and know that they will not likely enjoy it, and shake their heads. I shall journey alone then. I am off! Adressing the crowd of his new friends. Alas, our time is short, but perhaps I will chance here again. I truely hope I will. Goodby my new friends! He says wiith a Twinkle in his eye, that many think intended just for them.

Thax heads towards the largest building he can find, assuming it to be the castle (Untrained Knowlege (local) Check) 1d20+10 and approaches the first guard or attendant who tries to stop or question him.

Why hello. I am Captain Thax, the Merciful, Lord of the Ship Resolute and King over the Unclaimed Sea, and I am here to call upon [insert the name of the local royalty] to pay my respects.
I can roll for intimidate, diplomacy, buff (though these statments are all true), make the man beat a Will Save DC 26 or be facinated, whatever you like. Let me know when I should use any of these.

Balk
Balk stands up, done enjoying the bustle of the inn, and wishing to pass some time in sparring. No one her elooked in any mood for a friendly fight, so he decided to find a fighters guild or gym or rough area of town if need be. True, few would jump one his size, but only those bold enough to try would be worth fighting.Revnik, I'm going to get some excersize. You're welcome to come too. Revnik shook his head, and lounged more into his chair, taking a deep chug of ale, eyeing the women who had lost interest in their group once Thax had left. Revnik left the Inn, wandering. He could ask for directions, but was not desperate enough to stoop to that. There is no shame in asking, but the average person here did not smile at him, and getting anything usefull would be like pulling teeth without pliers. He wanders towards the open areas, square building likely to have a courtyard, and dark back alleys, each in turn. 1d20+2.
Revnik

Seeing his friends depart, he dinks another round, but grows bored. He doesn't bother trying to strike up a conversation with anyone, assuming that it would not go well. He decides to wander the streets, with nothing specific in mind, but (secretly) hoping to find something neat and new or someone who will talk to him. He wanders randomly, killing any rat or mouse he sees with a flash of light, fire, and ice that kills instantly. This is a habit of his, believing from his time on ships that vermin are always pests, and that he leaves the world a little better in his wake while doing this. He moves quickly, though anyone watching would simultaniously think that he is stideing slowly. He is ovbiously not trying to move fast, he just simple covers four times as much ground as you would expect from his lumbering, suffling, walk.

Dr.Orpheus

2011-12-10, 02:25 AM

Thax
You find the castle. The guards already know who you are and can't be facinated because they are immune to mind affecting effects.

Balk
Unfortunately no one dares to attack you. Not entirely based on his size, but also because of the strict laws of this society.

Revnik
GuyFawkes sees you, and he unlike the others staring about he knows you are not as you appear from the pep talk you both attended.

We should wait for some of the others that have not posted yet

I did not even roll. :smallconfused:

Dhagrin stands silently by the southeast gate. He stares towards that which he has been called to protect, massive, spiked arms at his sides. Unlike most of his kind, his metallic hide is translucent and shimmering with purples and reds like an approaching sunset. A sash seemingly woven from strands of silver adorns Dhagrin's waist while an amulet of unworked jade hangs from his neck. A simple leather ring decorated with silver stars sits atop his head, around which two tiny prisms slowly circle, one pale green, the other orange. A ratty-looking hooded cloak partially covers the ensemble, but it's parted slightly in the breeze and leaving most of Dhagrin's possessions on display.

Like an immense stone and steel grotesque, Dhagrin stands unmoving, unflinching. His eyes burn like two cut emeralds held to the sun as he looks out towards the lands of Lesser Donkeywrath. Here and there a stray arc of electricity will pop and hiss, leaping towards the ground with great speed. Dhagrin has been by the gates since the morning before, withdrawn into his own mind and contemplating the events to come. In all his years, he had learned surprisingly little of the world, and he understands even less. Dhagrin does know, however, that if he and others like him had been summoned to this place, only a truly foul fate could await them.

OoC:
Sorry for such a lackluster introductory post, everyone. Now that I've finally manage to get a post in here, perhaps we can move forward a touch.

After having enjoyed his wine he stands up. Puts his hat on and puts some coins on the table. Than he moves out towards the meeting point, waiting for everyone else to arrive. When he arrives there he will lean to the wall, looking relaxed while keeping an eye on his surroundings, even though he is completely sure that he can handle everything his face shows a smile that does not reach his eyes, he is serious trying to see everything around him.

Dr.Orpheus

2011-12-12, 11:20 AM

You see nothing out of place. However emotionally there is a fair amount of unease among the people, but that is of course because they they know somewhere there countrymen are being attacked.

2011-12-12, 11:35 AM

Thax, realizing that he let time slip away from him on his way to the palace, decides not to press the issue and meet at the appointed place.

Balk, disapointed with the lack of sufficiant training grounds, though impressed at the lack of street thugs, heads to their meeting place with time to spare.

Revnik, bored from the town, is ready to go, but has no desire to be early. He laps the city again, and heads to the meeting place.

GuyFawkes

Hooded Figure

The figure on the rooftop continues to muse on what that dark cloud on the horizon is hiding, and as he does so, he forgets the passage of time. He soon notices that a large assembly had already formed down below at their appointed meeting place. He stands up and walks down the roof, but as he goes on, his feet ceases to touch the roof and he seems to be walking on air, and upon reaching the edge, he gently floats down to the alleyway below and silently makes his way towards the gate.

As he arrives, he looks at those gathered there, a rather curious bunch. He stands near the hulking figure of steel and stone by the wall and silently waits.

Dr.Orpheus

2011-12-12, 12:06 PM

A guard captain walks up to the slowly growing team of heros and hands Dhagrin a map. This is the most updated map we have of the east I hope it serves you well, and I think I speak for all of Donkeywrath when I complement you on your bravery. He signals to one of his men and they both begin to open the gate.

ieatfood7

2011-12-12, 01:57 PM

Balk and Revnik allow Thax to do their introductions, as he was good at it and always seemed to enjoy himself.

Thax speaks up, easily heard by all in the group despite his small size. Hello hello! I am Captain Thax, the Merciful, captain of the Resolute and King of the unclaimed sea. Perhaps you have heard of me? This formidable fortress of stalwert strength is Balk, Chief of the Wanak Tribe. This unassuming genleman is the worldly Revnik, whose demure demeaner belies his boundless mastery of the elemental and physical forces. We have arrived to assist and investigate this hidden horror plauging the land. We are, of course, pleased to be working with you all. Balk shifts and Revnik rolls his eyes, but neither responds to Thax's fun. They long since learned to pick their battles with him, and his verbose style was unchainable.

Balk, Thax and Revnik look at the map. Balk adresses the group. Shall we travel by foot, or by air? I can carry any who need a lift, and we can cover more ground that way.

Banarea

They call me Banarea. I am a mage extraordinaire. Instead of my predecessor, Captain Thax, almost no one will have heard from me. I would like to keep it that way. My service needs no help, I am just doing what I was asked to do by both the orders I work for. If you need magical back-up ask me, if someone needs a bit more diplomatic touch, go ahead and ask me, just please know that I'm just doing my duty.
Baranea says before standing again against the wall. Silently watching the others, checking their responses.

Lyndworm

2011-12-13, 02:52 AM

The golem-like creature finally moves, but only enough to face the group, and speaks. "I suppose this is the time for introductions, then, is it? Very well; I am called Dhagrin Copperclaw, though I have no fancy titles or awards. I've no idea whether any of you have heard of me, and I don't particularly care." His toothless jaw moves as if articulating, but he seems to have no lips with which to pronounce the words.

"Please do not take this as animosity towards any of you on my part, as this is instead the much more dangerous trapping of apathy. It is, unfortunately, one of my few vices." While the translucent creature talks, small bursts of electricity continue to pop and hiss away from his body, arcing towards the ground.

"I have studied the way of the Arcane and the way of the Sublime, and through them I have attained mastership of my body. My abilities focus primarily on strengthening myself and others, with a bit of life-enhancing and life-prolonging abilities to extend my endurance. I prefer to do my combat as close to the enemy as possible, when violence is necessary, though I am capable of a small number of ranged magics." The vocal grotesque ceases movement again, once more resembling an odd and expensive art piece.

GuyFawkes

2011-12-13, 03:24 AM

Hooded Figure

The hooded figure stands still as each of the men present introduce themselves. When everyone is done, he simply addresses them in a cold, calm, voice without even taking his hood off. "Daedalus. A pleasure to be working with you. I assume people of your calibre can take to the skies, and as such, those who cannot can take Master Balk's offer. It is best we set off now," is all he says before walking towards the opened city gates in an effortless manner that makes him seem to be floating.

ieatfood7

2011-12-13, 08:36 AM

Balk and Revnik seem impressed by Copperclaw, though slightly dismissive of Banarea, neither having a great love of magics. Thax reacts gracefully to all.

With a look at Copperclaw and Banarea, Balk deactivates his Anti-Magic Field, assuming it would inconveniance Banarea and might even hurt Copperclaw if he got too close. Balk is not educated in the ways of golems.

Balk continues. Welcome all. I can fly about 18 miles an hour (160 fly speed) and can carry all of you if you like. Revnik, please take point and scout our flanks as well.

Balk removes his Ring of Compression, growing to Huge size. He checks his Ring of Expansion in his pouch, ready in case his companions prove heavier than they look.

Revnik nodds, and glowing wings of pure light burst from his armor with a small shower of cool, glowing sparks. He lifts off, circling overhead, scouting the area. (flight speed 360). He never gets out of sight of the others, and flies very high, 500 feet above the ground as a minimum.

Thax climbs into Balk's shoulder, wraps a cord from Balk's armor around his hand, and starts talking as if Balk is a ship leaving harbor. All aboad who's coming aboard. Battendown the hatches and steer clear fo the poop deck. We need full sail, Master Balk, and a calm wind on our rudder. Keep your eye's peeled for enemies, and keep the cannons laoded, we may....... He continues, but it is clear that he is mostly speaking for his own amusement now, and Balk is obviously tuning him out.

Duskranger

2011-12-13, 09:27 AM

No offense, but I can take creatures with me with a higher speed. Though I need to touch them. Walking the winds is a lovely way to travel if you know how it goes. Everyone just needs to will it. Baranea says a small smile on his face.

Balk, with the slightest of grimace at magic used on him by another, agrees. That will get us there faster, and keep us less easily observable than otherwise. Thax, go grab Revnik and have him come back down.

The pixie flits up and Revnik meets him. After a brief explaination, they return to the ground, ready to travel.

The ANtimagic Field is an Ex ability of the Barbarian, with caster level 20. But I can surpress it at will, and will do so now. http://dungeons.wikia.com/wiki/Barbarian,_Tome_(3.5e_Class)

2011-12-13, 09:52 AM

Daedalus

Upon hearing the mage speak of the particular spell, Daedalus turns back towards him. "Ah, yes that is certainly faster than what I could manage on my own. And if what you are saying is the same magic that I am thinking about, then I advise everyone to take it as I believe he has enough for all of us. And it would be wise for us to go at practically the same pace."

Duskranger

2011-12-13, 09:56 AM

Banarea

I can share it with 6 guys at once. Form half a circle in front of me and reach out. As soon as I touch you you will feel light. That's in a positive way. Think light thoughts after that and we will really fly through the sky. He says while touching his belt.

Than he waits untill the persons are formed up around him, at least the ones that would like to share.

ieatfood7

2011-12-13, 10:08 AM

Balk returns the Ring of Compression tohis hand, making it easier to touch hands in the circle.

Balk, Revnik, and Thax circle up. Thinking light thoughts is easy, since they each fly on a regular basis. That's fortunate too, since it is usually hard for a Huge sized barbarian to think light thoughts.

I checked, and AMF will should not affect the golum/construct. The ghost from teh Thrallherder though would dissapear, so Balk will keep it lowered unless otherwise noted. Once they start flying, he will use his Ring of Invisibility and follow the others, since even oscured in clouds, he is large and noticable.

GuyFawkes

2011-12-13, 10:14 AM

Daedalus

The still hooded Daedalus positions himself on the other side of Banarea opposite the hulking figure of Balk and touches the mage's hand for the spell. He is certainly used to this, and he in facts questions himself why he did not bring that particular scroll along for today. Brushing his thoughts aside, he focuses on himself, waiting to feel that distinct feeling of slowly turning into vapor.

Dr.Orpheus

2011-12-13, 12:24 PM

Yes

A few guards wave as you all float in to the air, and by the way this will make the map kind of difficult to read.

In this case everything is negated in an AMF, which means that your rings are also negated.

2011-12-13, 01:43 PM

OOCIf you mean my rings, it is a class feature of the Tome Barbarianthat the AMF does not affect effects already active on me or affect the items I wear or hold. As for reading the map, I assume we got a good look at it, pointed ourselves in the right direction, and will stop when we see devastation or something...is that wrong?

"If we are to travel by air, then I would much prefer to accept your offer, Banarea. For all that I have achieved in my life, I'm afraid that I can fly at only a fraction of the speed your propose." The creature gets into position, reaching out an oversized, spike-studded hand.

Banarea

He starts chanting in a strange language, no one can really make anything from it. As soon as his movements stop his eyes start glowing with a pure white light. Softly he touches the hands of the others. His body stays solid though, while he sees that the body of the others seems more translucent and misty. The pleasurable sensation of being one with the wind is shared around.

Good old times. Banarea says softly before looking at the others.
It's not hard people, some of you maybe know what this is, but it's simply being one with the wind. If you will it so, you can move as fast as the wind, you can stay solid, as I am, or more misty like you all are. After that, the one with the map needs to be in front, and show us the way, I do suggest him to be solid at least so we can follow him. After that Banarea waits for you all to answer or act.

OOC:

We can read and fly at once. I mean you can stay normal, even though it costs some time to become it. It does means that since the spell works for 20 hours we can take small stops every couple of minutes (10 minutes for example). How far is it precisely?

Man I love the Warsnake build :P spontaneously cast every cleric spell there is got to be one of the best things there can be. Especially coupled with the huge amount of spells I have :smallbiggrin:

Yes you can make stops. The trip is almost 1000 mi. so you could make it in two hours if you did 36 total min of map checking witch would have only a small chance of error, but keep in mind that every second you waste many acres of countryside may be at risk.

Revnik looks up, a surprised look on hi face. He obviously had been distracted and is just now snaping back to attention.

Wait, how far away is this? I can get us a lot closer, if you're ok with having to reorient ourselves. Plane shift will get us closer, maybe put us right where we want to be, maybe not, but should cut the distance in half at the worst. Would you like to do that instead and then look at the map to see how close I got us?

Revnik atunes himself to the Astral Plane in preparation. If a stopover is nessesary in a neighboring plane, he will stop in the Plane of Air as a safe momentary layover. He summons an Air Elemental, Elder, who keeps his winds calm at Revnik's request, and Revnik checks with the Elder that there is nothing untoward going on on the Plane of Air at the moment.

[assuming that the Elder Elemental of Air doesn't have any dire warnings against traveling to the plane of air]

Revnik uses the link already in effect, joining the hands of all his companions, and casts plane shift, transporting them all to the Plane of Air. 6 seconds later, he casts plane shift again, returning to their own plane, and attempting to reach the place on the map 250 miles away from the border they were going to Since there is a wide range of error on this, with most being between 200 and 300 miles from the destination, I wanted to not end up 500 miles into the problem. If we end up more than 250 miles away (after checking the map again and maybe doing some quick flight to determine location) I will re-do the double Plane Shift untill we are less than 250 miles from our destination. The Plane shift puts them [roll0] miles to the Degrees on a compas, 360 is North, 90 is East, etc) [roll1] of the destination he picked.

Geography rolls to check the map.

2011-12-16, 10:51 AM

The air elemental does not tell you of any danger on his plane, but upon trying to transport yourselves back to the material plane directly in to the disaster area you experience a planer disturbance sending you twice the distance away and unless you beat a DC 30 will save you also take 10d10 damage from a flux in spacetime. You are around the area you started.

ieatfood7

2011-12-19, 01:01 PM

Revnik cries out, as everyone stumbles back to the regular plane.

Something is odd, though I have no idea what could have caused it. I think we were shunted away from the front, though even that's hard to tell. This kind of travel isn't an exact science. Sorry about the rough landing.

Revnik, Thax, and Balk consult the map [using the geogrpahy checks above] and determine which general direction to go in, and that they are ~500 miles away.

Revnik continues, I don't think we shoiuld try my mode of travel again. Lets continue using the wind walk spell you cast earlier, it should last a good while yet. Revnik, Balk, and Thax all begin to lift off with the wind walk spell.

You see the Couatl fly almost to the horizon and then drop from the sky after you hear a low pitch hum sound followed by a bright light.

Morcleon

2011-12-21, 09:39 PM

From almost directly below you, a long ripple in the fabric of the plane appears. As the ripples subside slightly, it is apparent that it is, in fact, seven smaller ripples, each the size of an average adult. After but a few seconds, the waves form into people, each flying, and in a loose delta formation.

Each wears a dark navy cloak, speckled with faint turquoise stars, and a simple bamboo hat. Their leader glances around as if to make sure his team is all there before glancing up at those using wind walk.

The leader swoops up in front of you, motioning his group to keep on the lookout. He removes his hat to show a surprisingly young face, but with deep, blue and red swirls within his eyes, betraying his experiences.

"It seems I have arrived rather late. The marshal was kind enough to provide me with a backup map and directions. I am known as Vector. This," he gestures at his group of six, "is my squad."

"Meta." A blond haired woman glances up and throws a casual salute with a smirk on her face. "She specializes in defense and summoning."

"Psych." A blond haired man, who is easily seen as Meta's twin, tilts his head up and nods with a small smile. "He is our demolitions and destruction expert."

"Time." He sighs and looks up, a mop of dark hair falling to one side. "He is a skirmisher, and has a some interesting abilities."

"Sword." A young girl snaps her head up at the mention of her name before waving and smiling cheerfully. "Our other skirmisher. However, her abilities stem from the Sublime Way."

"Dusk." A sullen, dark eyed boy slowly stares upwards with a raised eyebrow and nods. "He is what some would call a gish, one blends psionics and melee."

"And Ghost." As the final figure turned to see the party, it was apparent from the twisting strands of ectoplasm and soft mist that she was, in fact, a ghost. She gave a small wave and smile before turning her deep blue eyes back to the phenomenon. "She is our scout."

Vector grins. "So, have you discovered anything new about this particular... thing?"

"A very strong kind, apparently." Vector mutters under his breath. More clearly, he addresses the group. "We can't just wait here. We need to know what's going on."

With a few hand gestures, he directs his group to fan out, spreading themselves across the sky, ready to act upon any instance of danger.

Vector motions to Ghost. "I want you to cloak and go down there. Report back anything you find."

She nods with a smile, slowly disappearing from normal view.

If you can see ethereal creatures, you can still see her flying down towards the surface, looking around.

Revnik looks taken aback at the fall of the monster, but in surprise rather than sadness. In his experience, there is always another monster to summon.

After a look around, Balk sits silently, awaiting the return of the scout.

Thax flits around, obviously on alert, though he still chatters on to himself and anone who will listen about the noble beast and how poetically it fell. Balka nd Revnik pay him no mind, though his chattering has become a sor tof comfort to them.

Dr.Orpheus

2011-12-29, 02:55 AM

You see another flash of light and then the thing begins to move towards you. You can hardly see it at this distance but the air around it swirls with faint colors.

By the way anybody with divine casting gets a brief distorted mental message say something like "Insert name here" I'm a being in employ of "Insert deity here". We are having connection troubles and will not likely be able to create any interventions or speak mentally to you until later, however most of your spells should remain functional.

"Heads up people! Something's coming!"

As he says the words, he flicks his right hand in a series of forms and sharp motion under his cloak and readies himself. Those who could see emanations of magic would see some sort of cubical barrier form around him.

Cast a 5ft x 5ft x 6ft immovable barrier around himself.

Revnik watches the Ghost. If it is being teleported, Revnik will know it (though not know how or where) and chooses to not allow the teleportation, through his currently active attunement with the Astral Plane (Travel Attunement).

Revnik summons [roll0] Avorals, hoping their Spell resistance will protect them. He instructs them to stay with the group, but to stand in the front. Revnik then shifts to the plane of Shadow (darkness atunement) and deceases the light to dim lighting, making himself invisible. He prepares to cast Shwdow Evocation, casting a fireball at the thing (will save 23 for 1/5 damage, reflex save 23 for half damage) when it reaches Long range (1040 feet).
If it hits, he wil do that every round until the beast reached medium range (260 feet). Catser level is 16 and spell level is 5. damage rolls as needed. The Fire Attunement Ex abiltiy deals double damage as fire damage, and these have not been doubled (as 2-times-10d6 is different from 20d6, and I don't know how to double a dice roll) [roll1].

damage rolls as needed, 3d6 bludgoning and 2d6 cold damage. The Fire Attunement Ex abiltiy deals double damage as fire damage, and these have not been doubled (as 2-times-10d6 is different from 20d6, and I don't know how to double a dice roll)

Dr.Orpheus

2011-12-29, 02:37 PM

The teleportation is not prevented. Your Avorals seem explain they were a bit harmed on the way over to the material plane like you were during the plane shift. Your first fireball initiates combat everybody roll initiative. The fireball does seem to be harming it in some way because it is recoiling from it, but it appears to have no burn marks or at least very little it is hard to tell at a distance.

Revnik pauses a moment, and tosses the Pixie his helm of telepathy.

I maybe should have tried this first, but try to talk to it.

He next casts Ice Storm, positioning it 50 feet in fron fo the thing, not hitting it but making it have to fly throguh it to continue.

Thax puts on the Helm of telepathy, grumbles about its size not fitting right, and then tries to communicate with the thing. He also tells the rest of them to hold the attack if the thing stops it approach.

Thax Truely, we were sent to investigate, and any hostility is at seeing the apparent death of our minion and the disapearance of our teamate. Our hostile appearance is in preparation for the unknown. Tell us of the Ikswobel and tell us of yourself, so that we can properly adress you and properly converse with the Ikswobel. I'm sure the Ikswobel would be displeased if you sent us in blind, and the Ikswobel would be simmilarly dismayed if you forced a fight with those who the Ikswobel would rather speak to. The Ikswobel wants to see us.

Reply to Thax Firstly the Ikswobel does not wish to see you because it can already see you can already see you. Secondly the Ikswobel is a not like anything you have ever seen I wish I could explain it to you, but this new form of communication using thoughts for speech limits me in what I can say because most of my thoughts are to alien for you to understand. Thirdly I don't think you understand the Ikswobel's intentions it likely would be unswayed by emesaries it's plans will factor in for the safety of your races and cultures, but he will not merciful to those that interrupt its work.

And now I Have a question for you. What is it you plan to accomplish if you survive the search for the Ikswoblel? Its location is unknown even to me and its power unstoppable with diplomacy.

Dhagrin and everyone else can hear the opponent in their heads. You cannot hear Thax telepathically, but I imagine that he is one of those folks than like to hear themselves talk.

Thax replies in almost perfect honesty. Our actions when we reach the Ikswoblel are not yet determined. If, as you say, ti si working for the good of us and ours, then we may join it. If it is working against us, then the meeting will be far less cordial. Thus far, all we can see is that (1) it destoys large areas of our land, presumably killing the established inhabitants, (2) it cloaks its actions is secrecy, and (3) it killed (or you did as its agent) the first investigator and banished the second. Bring back the ghost who had acted as a scout.

Dr.Orpheus

2011-12-30, 10:25 AM

Bringing back your ally is not an easy task because after I transport her she was left under the jurisdiction of the Ikswobel so I may not bring her back without the proper authorisation. (Even though talking is a free action I would say that a round has passed) now another creature come out of a rift. It looks similar to the other thing.

(Assuming the first is still alive, otherwise this action is towards the surviving one)

Thax, invisible, Charges at the attacking beast, making a flyby attack (through the Whirlwind Feat), with both weapons, ending 40feet above the thing. Really, you embarase yourself with your dishonesty and disloyalty. I bet your mother is ashamed of you.

2nd opponent touches the prismatic wall, it sploshes to the ground as if it were a liquid and then turns and then fades from the visible spectrum of color everyone touching the ground make a ref save DC 30 and everyone make a fort save DC 32.Fail ref save : you are wedged [roll0] ft. into the ground taking [roll1] bludgeoning damage per ft. To be removed from the ground you need spend a full round action and make a str check DC 5 per ft. unless you have a burrow speed in which case it takes a move action and no str check.
Succeed ref save : avoid the above effect.
Fail ref save : take [roll2] damage.

Upon his three stikes that hit the Monster, Balk uses his free intimidate Checks.

The monster is also subject to his Great Blow ability, and must make a single Fort save DC 35, or be stunned for one round.

Balk is unaffected by the Monster's attack.

Revnik takes 45 damage.

The Avorals each take 45 damage (they are at 22 hp).

Because of Thax hitting the beast twice, Revnik is able to take two attacks of opportunity against it (He could have done it for Balk's hits, but did not move close enough in time). Even in a fight, he manages to blend into the environment, catching the Mosnter flat footed.

Tome Feat Weapon Finesse allows for Opportunist AoO's when an opponent is struck.
Tome Feat Hoard Breaker gived the Combat Reflexes=like ability of extra AoO's by Dex bonus.
Tome TWF allows fr all attacks to be made with both weapons.
Tome Ghost Step makes all opponents flat footed in relation to my attacks.

Fire Atttuenment (ex) doubles all damage as fire damage.

Slashing Attunment (ex) adds my Level to all damage as slashing Damage AND deals 1d6 to anyone who provokes an AoO, regardless of if I take the attack.

Force Attunement (ex) allows me to convert any damage into force damage.
Bludgining Attument (ex) allows me to deal half damage if I miss, as bludgoning damage AND decreases the natural armor of an opponent by 1 each time bludgoning damage is done (allowing for negative Natural Armor values, this will only happen if I miss, as my weapons are slashing).
Peircing Attunemnt (ex) allows me to ignore damage reduction, hardness, energy resistance, spell resistance, and deflection, sacred, and profane bonuses to AC.

Daedalus

As soon as he could react, Daedalus quickly flicks his wrist in a a fast sequence of movement and points at the creature that is farther from the group, then does the same wrist movement again, but this time points it at the closer creature. He then brings up his hand with the index and middle finger extended in front of his face, then points at the closer creature. After he does so, a controlled explosion occurs, to the more observant, two to be exact, in rapid succestion.

Full action barrier creation lets me create at will barriers up to a number equal to my attacks from BAB, 3.

First Barrier

Create immovable barrier at the farther rainbow blob thingy (I'm assuming that is creature 2) that covers partially its body, preferably the lower half or appendages if it has any.

Touch attack: [roll0]

If it hits, creature is pinned in place unless it chooses to rip off its appendage or it destroys the barrier. Barrier has 1,000 HP, AC of 10, and hardness of 25.

Second and Third Barrier

Create immovable 9.5x9.5x9.5 ft barrier and a 10x10x10 ft barrier on top of each other around the closer rainbow blob thingy (creature 1) then explode the inner barrier then the outer barrier.

Damage 1: [roll1] (+13 from Advent of a New World, +Int mod to all rolls; +13 from Advent of a New World, +Int mod to damage when imploding barriers within another barrier)
Damage 2: [roll2] (+13 from Advent of a New World, +Int mod to all rolls)

Damage is purely magical, not subject to ER and SR.
immovable barrier misses and why don't the other 2 barriers have attack rolls or saves?

Actions if we must first become corporeal:
Dhagrin begins to become more substantial, while simultaneously preparing to dodge anything the creatures might throw at him.

Swift action to use Minor Shapeshift, granting Dhagrin 20 temporary HP, Standard action to ready a Move action to drop 30ft downwards if an attack looks like it's coming towards Dhagrin.

Becoming substantial (through windwalk), 4 rounds until completion.
Actions if we are already corporeal:
Dhagrin begins muttering something in seeming gibberish and flailing his left arm back and forth. A shimmering force of some sort coats the monolith's body before winking out of sight just as over a half-dozen copies of Dhagrin wink into sight.

Vector narrows his eyes at the actions of his enemies and decides on a different approach. A quick flick of the hand sends a pulsating lozenge of compressed force energy at the two, detonating with a barely audible ripple. A second, more forceful wave evokes three resounding cracks of sonic energy that slam into the second creature.

well the already downed rainbow one seems to be even more badly damaged but still moving (how are you effecting both they are several hundred ft. apart). Rainbow 2 looks hurt not like rainbow 1 though.

saves
fort saves [roll0] ref saves [roll1],[roll2],[roll3],[roll4],[roll5],[roll6] if the 1d20+14 rolled for the hail of crystals was an attack roll it misses otherwise I don't know what it is for also when the are grappled they do not resist and allow themselves to be grabbed.

For its turn rainbow 2 uses the contact crated by the grapple to use a draining touch allowing it to assume a humanoid shape while the astral construct becomes a blob, fort save 32 negates the astral construct turning into a blob but the the rainbow still changes shape. If the astral construct can still maintain a grapple the rainbow uses its dimension door like effect to move out of its grapple and out of its reach.

Morcleon

2012-01-17, 08:43 AM

I was unaware that one had moved away. In that case, everything is on rainbow 2, except for energy missile, which still affects both.

Hail of crystals functions similar to meteor swarm in that you can hit a creature with it before the projectile explodes.

With those saves, most damage is halved, leaving 222 damage from powers and 182 from the two astral constructs (you did say the things allowed them to hit... :P), which is a total of 404 points of damage against rainbow 2 and 130 points of damage to rainbow 1.

With the astral constructs, constructs are immune to effects that require fort saves unless it works on objects or is (harmless). But just in case, fort save: [roll0]

The fort save is even for objects so the astral construct is now a blob. If the other astral construct is attacking rainbow 2 it also must make a save. In the case of both constructs failing there saves rainbow 2's humanoid form also comes with more defined features and it seems more beefy.

The warforged focuses all of his energy, concentrating for the next single attack. A magical sheen courses up and down his body, pooling in his massive fists. With an unintelligible shout, Dhagrin rushes at the multicolored monstrosity before him, attempting to land a devastating blow fueled by his own life force.

I tire of these things, but don't want them causing more trouble. He takes a few smacks at the thing for good measure, "Casting" as a Spell Like Ability Mage's Disjunction in the process.

Daedalus

"My barriers should be able to hold them. They prevent travel of any kind into or out of them, casting magic into our out of them, and they're quite sturdy. Perhaps it is also best if we just take them along, to be sure they cannot escape and warn the others, though I doubt they still need the warning. Rather, to prevent them from going back and give information regarding us."

Morcleon

2012-01-30, 09:57 PM

"Let us move on then," Vector nods. "I trust Ghost to take care of herself. And I trust that your barriers will keep them in check."

He stretches once, then motions for his group to get in formation. A single spot is left open. "Where to now?"

GuyFawkes

2012-01-31, 12:22 AM

Daedalus

With that, Daedalus does his usual hand movements and encloses both creatures in barriers. To be safe, he shrinks his barriers to follow the contour of the creatures to not allow them room to move and attack his barriers.

Cast at-will sized movable barriers on both blobs. Then use Form Manipulation to shape his barriers to that of the creature inside it.

"We should just continue on our direction earlier."

Yup, I'm done with these guys. Can we wind walk again? Or are we moving at our normal speed? I trust teleporting is still out.

Dr.Orpheus

The blobs after a few minuets seam to be revitalized but don't escape there barriers.

GuyFawkes

2012-01-31, 01:35 PM

Daedalus

"It seems we could still do that. However, from here on would be dangerous, and a minute of time waiting for us to re-materialize to be able to attack or cast spells would cost us in the case of an ambush. I think it is best to fly using our normal modes of flight, but not too high, in case we enter some sort of dead magic zone."

Lyndworm

2012-01-31, 09:25 PM

"I agree; we must sacrifice whatever speed we would gain for an increased ability to respond. Shall we proceed, then?" Dhagrin begins flying upwards, away from the blobs.

GuyFawkes

2012-02-01, 01:19 AM

Daedalus

Daedalus steps in between the two creatures, then forms a barrier around himself, then two rod shaped barriers to connect the creatures' barriers to his own before taking to the air after Dhagrin.

Create at will sized movable barrier around himself, then two small rod shaped ones (movable) to connect the two barriers to his own. Then use remote control technique to move his barrier and fly.

Dr.Orpheus

2012-02-01, 11:25 AM

If you are all in agreement with this plan of leaving with the blobs in force fields where do you wish to go. On the horizon there are hills to the left, some hills to the right, and plains between them.

ieatfood7

2012-02-01, 04:36 PM

Balk puts on his expansion ring, and then motions for Thax and Revnik to climb on his now massive back. The two small compatriots do so, and Balk motions that the others can get of him as well, if they wish (his AMF is deactivated). He coments briefly that his flights is by wing, not magic, and that he can move faster than soem fo the smaller fliers.

Once everyone is ready and those who wish a ride have done so, Balk heads out. He suggests sticking to the plains. because he is more confortable on the planes. He imagines they have little hope of sneaking in, and he figures they will make better time over them plains, as well as picking it since it is the goegraphic center, allowing for changes of course later, as needed.

Captain Thax searches the monsters for valueable items, not expecting to find anything, but priding himself on being careful not to leave valuable tools behind.

Dr.Orpheus

2012-02-01, 06:04 PM

In order to search the blobs you would be required to make a search check to find something on them and they are in barriers right now.

ieatfood7

before we go, lets search the things, open up the portals, will you?

Daedalus

Daedalus creates a few ring shaped barriers around the creature's appendages and the body to bind them before releasing the barriers that fully surrounded them.

Dr.Orpheus

2012-02-02, 11:11 AM

They don't seem to have anything on them, but being jelloy blobs Thax can put a rapier through them and feel hard objects inside them, but at this point it is hard to tell whether you are performing a cavity search or an autopsy.

ieatfood7

2012-02-03, 08:59 AM

Thax, curious about what is in the blobs but not keep to get the blob stuff all over himself, communicates with Revnik.

Hey Revnik, get one of your buddies in here to pull these hard hings out. They're like rocks inside evilpudding.

Revnik summons an Avoral, who digs with his hands into the blob to try to pull out whatever is in there for examination.

if they are nothing, then lets get on the road, I don't mean to slow us down if its not important clues or valueable look.

Dr.Orpheus

2012-02-03, 12:56 PM

The Avoral pulls out a triangular shape still covered in the goo but as soon as it is removed it disappears along with the blob itself. "Dang!" the other blob says "That does not kill us so don't think you can beat us by taking those." I braces itself for its probing.

It looks like it kills them, but even if it doesn't it at least banishes them in some way so you defiantly don't think it's a bad thing. It also seems like the blob is very afraid now despite its lack in ability to portray proper emotions.

ieatfood7

2012-02-06, 06:35 PM

Vir looks at the second blob, noting its obvious concern and its initial explitive reaction.

I did that without a reason; I didn't even care about him. You are about to ge the opportunity to make me like or hate you.

You are now going to answer our previous questions. If you don't answer them, We rip our your...well, you know. If your answers aren't satisfying enough, We do the samer thing. If you Answer the questions well enough, I promise that none of us will be probing you anytime soon.

You can tell despite similar appearance this one was the original that almost let you pass which is why he is slightly nicer unlike the other one that insulted Thax, still your enemy though just making the distinction in case you thought you were talking to the same one the whole time and it was just having mood swings.

ieatfood7

2012-02-07, 10:59 AM

Look, you got weird bosses that mind control you, make you do things, maybe theyn like it for you to sign bar songs while dressed like kobolds...none of my business. Either assist us in our expedition, by act, information, or otherwise, or we rip you little geometric heart out!

If he still can't, then....
Thax will say Fine, not your fault if you're compelled. Bind him up sheild lord, if you'd be so kind, and leave him. He's useless to us. But Blobbo, remember us with fear, and remember us for this kindness.

If you want a bluff check, here it is, but he wasn't bluffing as he was planning to kill him, and just changed his mind, so I don't think a bluff check is needed.

[roll0]

Dr.Orpheus

2012-02-07, 11:05 AM

The blob can't do squat so you can trap him and leave.

GuyFawkes

Daedalus nods at Thax's proposition and surrounds the blob with his barrier, again manipulating it to mimic its shape. "Right then, let us be on our way."

Balk again grows, offering all who want to ride a spot. Vir and Revnik climb on. Vir starts yelling things as if to insinuate that Balk is an air ship and that Vir is the captain. Apparently there are many hatches that need battening down....

Balk starts flying with any riders to the fields int eh middle.

GuyFawkes

2012-02-09, 12:04 PM

Daedalus

Flying along towards the plains, Daedalus spots a boarded up mineshaft on the hills to the right. He signals towards the others and points at the direction of the mine.

"Should we check it out?"

ieatfood7

2012-02-09, 12:11 PM

Thax looks down,

I say go for it. Doesn't look much like a hideout stronghold, but it could have clues or people who can answer a question. If its empty, we move on.

Balk grunts, and moves to fly over the mine, not lowing his altitude yet, waiting for someoen else ot agree with the loud Sprite before entering.

Lyndworm

2012-02-09, 12:18 PM

Nodding his approval, Dhagrin follows Balk down.

GuyFawkes

Daedalus nods and descends towards the mine. He keeps his eyes and ears open, and is on the ready should anything happen.

ieatfood7

2012-02-09, 03:46 PM

Balk lands and looks at the opening, judging whether he will fit in his Large, Huge, or Gargantuan sizes. He adds and removes rings as needed to fit.

Ravnik and Thax draw their weapons and looka round.

Dr.Orpheus

2012-02-09, 07:54 PM

As you get close Vector sees the same mine shaft from his divination this area apart from the odd coloration from before has a humming noise that seems to come from nowhere.

Morcleon

2012-02-09, 08:13 PM

Vector's eyes widen as he sees the mine shaft, and his vision from earlier flashes through his mind. A boarded up mineshaft... Could it be...?

He nods his agreement to the others, but holds out a hand to signal his allies to wait. "Since our last... incident, I feel it is prudent to send in a more disposable scout to test the outer contents of this structure."

He motions to Meta, who nods and forms from astral strands, a small, glowing construct. This creature flies out to the side of the mineshaft, attempting to gain entrance.

Dr.Orpheus

2012-02-09, 08:26 PM

Your astral construct begins tearing down the boards and you hear an old man yelling and screaming "GET BACK I'M NOT THE ONE YOUR LOOKING FOR SPARE ME!"

Morcleon

2012-02-09, 08:49 PM

Vector flies in front of the mineshaft and waves at the construct to stop. He speaks to the old man calmly, and without threat. "Please, calm down. We mean you no harm. We simply wish to find a missing companion.

He smiles lightly and continues, "If you would be so kind, could you perhaps enlighten us on this place? Where are we?"

GuyFawkes

2012-02-10, 01:12 AM

Daedalus

Daedalus enters and scans the inside, but still does not drop his barrier. "We are actually not survivors. We came from the outside. Please tell us, what happened here?"

ieatfood7

2012-02-10, 09:02 AM

Thax fibs (its technically true after all), saying, I am a surviver, actually, but I was just passing through this area when something...horrible...attacked, or happened, or something.....I met up with these heros afterwards and have traveled a short way with them. What happened to us?

Can Balk fit in at Large size? If so then, he puts on his ring of reduction...let me know.

Dr.Orpheus

2012-02-10, 01:00 PM

"Ah where to start... well first off my name is Rich Burdoff. I was a transmutation teacher at a school in Lesser Donkeywrath my town was the forth taken over, and I was the only one to escape and remain sane. This is because I have developed a spell to increase ones own intelligence by using transmutation magic to just increase the size of the brain and move cells containing horrible memories in to areas of the brain not used to store memory." You can see is head is slightly larger than average. "I assume that you met a patrol on your way here if I understand you correctly. Those things that you met are fragments of a being from a world where names and language never existed, but it was recently named Ikswobel. This Iksobel witch is the hive mind of all manners of odd shaped blobs of light is so powerful it broke the dimensional boundary. Unlike the planer boundary beyond the dimensional boundary lies a separate multiplanerverse that does not use laws like gravity, conservation of energy, or any laws of magic and does not contain the four elements or matter in general. I don't know how it is even possible for them to be here seeing that their presence contradicts science."

Balk must turn medium to get in.

GuyFawkes

2012-02-10, 02:18 PM

Daedalus

"That is terrible news. So, you mean to say this, Iskwobel, broke through to our dimension from another dimension that has no such thing as magic or gravity? Hmm, so is it the cause of all this distortion around here? That this thing punched a hole connecting their dimension to ours?"

Dr.Orpheus

2012-02-10, 03:22 PM

"Yes and even more terrible is the fact I have studied these creatures for weeks of time and I know almost nothing about them but they learn about us rapidly."

GuyFawkes

2012-02-10, 03:29 PM

Forgot to ask but is there anyone with this man inside that they can see?

ieatfood7

2012-02-10, 04:34 PM

Balk will have to remain outside, he can't get smaller than large.

Revnik says,Do we have any idea what they want or why their here?

Dr.Orpheus

2012-02-10, 11:24 PM

Forgot to ask but is there anyone with this man inside that they can see?
There are no others and the mine seams to be empty other then a bed.

Balk will have to remain outside, he can't get smaller than large. Polymorphing balk to be a human, elf, or dwarf would work the old wizard has the means to do it.

Revnik says,Do we have any idea what they want or why their here?"If I were to guess probably just continue aggressively exploring the planes ruining the landscape in the process until they learned whatever they need to know to manipulate, destroy, or something. There motives are unclear but they are trying to learn about us."

GuyFawkes

2012-02-10, 11:52 PM

Daedalus

"It seems that from those two blobs we met, they cannot be reasoned well either. It is as if they are all controlled by this Iskwobel thing, correct? Are all of them blob-like creatures? Or are there more?"

Dr.Orpheus

2012-02-11, 01:43 AM

"I know almost nothing of Ikswobel apart from its name and rank among the dimensional invaders. From what I understand the invaders melt into a blob as they get further from there point of origin and they can resist this melting when the land is more distorted and this distortion seems to grow everyday making me need to find a new hiding spot every so often. I learned this only because I first see puddles slide pass by my hideout, then blobs, then floating blobs, but this is actually a very gradual process."

GuyFawkes

2012-02-11, 02:09 AM

Daedalus

"I see. That is very much helpful. Well, the only thing we can do is find the source of this and do what we can. This cannot continue to go further. Do you know where the center of this distortion is?"

Dr.Orpheus

2012-02-11, 06:18 AM

"I know the general direction, but the problem with distortion is the fact that it... will... distorts things like maps, roads, and landmarks so there is no sure way to go."

GuyFawkes

2012-02-11, 06:44 AM

Daedalus

"Hmm. That is a problem. Well, please just show the way, and we'll figure something out." Just follow the blobs, maybe, he smiles. "And is there anything else you know that might be helpful against them?"

Dr.Orpheus

2012-02-12, 01:58 AM

"Well I think the path would be southeast and my best advice for fighting them would be to fight them with there own power because if they come from a place where they have no physical bodies they likely still don't need one now except to pick up objects and such.

Morcleon

2012-02-12, 07:40 PM

Vector made a decision. Striding up to the man, he nodded his thanks. "We thank you for your help, but there is one more thing I must ask of you. One of my fellow adventurers and friends was recently... disappeared by the Ikswobel. My divinations have led me to believe that she is here, in this mineshaft. With your permission, I would like to seek and retrieve her, if possble."

Dr.Orpheus

2012-02-13, 03:27 AM

"Well your ally is not here although you are free to check." The moment he finishes his sentence you start to hear a noise like a gust of wind but much louder than normal and you see a light from deep in the mine. "Another portal, run while you still can!" The wizard casts fly and removes his reassembling barrier from the mine enterance.

GuyFawkes

2012-02-13, 05:26 AM

Daedalus

"Portal? What do you mean?" he tries to ask him before he leaves.

"Run don't think." You hear him say as he is finished casting fly.

Daedalus looks at his companions. "Seems like a portal to somewhere. Want to find out where that leads to?"

Lyndworm

2012-02-14, 03:15 PM

"I am simply overwhelmed with curiosity." says Dhagrin, finally joining in on the conversation. "Would you like to test the portal in some way before hurling your flesh through it? If it leads to the Ikswobel's home plane then it could be hostile beyond imagination, so much so that even your barriers won't protect you."

GuyFawkes

2012-02-14, 03:50 PM

Daedalus

"Of course you are right. Well I could send a small barrier and see if it survives the trip." He flicks his wrist and forms a small barrier near the orb and lets it float towards it.

Cast 1 foot circular movable barrier and move it towards the orb. Daedalus can sense his barrier if it is destroyed or not.

Dr.Orpheus

2012-02-15, 04:13 AM

"Halt bubble?" a voice says from within the portal (concentration check DC 40 to continue moving the barrier) "You have broken 8 of Ikswobel's rules trying to enter a restricted portal, trying to enter a portal without training, trying to enter a portal without permission, trying to enter a portal when another is exiting, trying to enter a portal when not on the list of approved portal using races, trying to enter a portal when made of an improper substances, not being of one of the approved races, and not being to the Ikswobel's liking. Summoner of this bubble you are an accomplice for commanding this bubble to brake these laws. As well all of you have broken the rules witnessing a classified event, ploting against Ikswobel, spying, and the murder of 2 scouts. As punishment you all will be used as material and/or fuel."

"Fuel? This should be interesting. You have broken 10 of my rules. Entering without permission into our plane, punching a hole into our plane, warping the surrounding area, taking over of peaceful towns and villages, killing of innocent citizens, warping the minds of innocent citizens, continuing to expand this warped space into our lands, kidnapping of a person without provocation, attacking my companions, and looking horribly bad. How do you plead?" He does not let his barrier advance any further.

Let me tell you, disembodied voice, you are sorely mistaken. We came to learn and parley with Ikswobel or its representitives. We were kidnapped and attacked by these representitives, and deended ourselves. We also were told be them that we couldn't kill them, and we left one of them safe and sound, as he requested. We now approach this portal thing you made in order to again attempt to learn and parley with you, asd well as to rescue our kidnapped comrad. Now come explain yourselves and return our companion. We respect your rules, but you have inferior jurisdiction here to ourselves, and we will not akcquiese to your requests until you explain yourself in peaceful discourse.

"In your plane there is a thing called hierarchy or food chain in witch the strong dominate the week so after learning this we decided to adopt this custom from your world. Now whether or not it is in your best interest for my plane to fallow these laws of nature is not up to you because we would have acted the same way if your food chain had never existed. Although we are at a disadvantage fighting in a new plane system we have won most of our battles. So as the more powerful race I assert my masters ruling at a higher priority."

"Well that is certainly an option, but I am not the one missing a ghost. I assumed that you came to find this being we probably would have given this ghost thing back to you after examination, but now that you are criminals and my platoon is now prepared to go through this portal you would not be with this ally for very much longer."

Thats cool, he'll go invisible after.

Rules debate, though irrelevent because I beleive strongly that on any topic on whihc there is any small debate at all, DM's ruling wins IC without question.
Many free actions can be done on an oppoennt's turn...they are faster than immediate actions anyway, but the rules are unclear on it. Some specificaly imply they are to be used on an opponent's turn, some specifically imply they are to be used on your turn. This one does not say. It does seem odd that I can do it many times (possibly infinite, depending on the DM) on my turn, and then have to sit still while someone walks towards me.

I'm not sure that anyone here has a +10 modifier to STR to be able to possibly resist that..Banlk "only" has a STR of 37 when in Gigantic size, so his +13 modifier would have given him a.....20% chance of resisting it?

on a sidetopic, I should have chosen to give Revnik immunity from untyped damage ;) honestly, its a class option in his stupid stupid OP class.

This is an extraordinary ability for Daedalus purposes, and now it is Revnik, Balk, and Thax's turns.

Revnik staggers under the hit, not used to being touched by the attacks of others. He uses a Standard Action to Attune himself to Cold, wishing he had remembered to do that after summoning that last Avoral with the other blobs, and making a note to always be in Cold attunement between fights, unless untherwise indicated.

He will take his extra turn after eevryone else and before the blobs go again.

Also, what are the distances between al the monsters? I can take this turn without knowing, but I will need to know for next turn. a Map would help.

Balk, roars, angered at the ambush, and at not having been included in the first attack. He Charges at whichever of the human looking things will allow him to have the most opponents in his threatened area (40 foot radius) and attacks with surprising speed and force.

His AMF is active.

Attack1[roll0]
Damage1[roll1]

Attack2[roll2]
Damage2[roll3]

Attack3[roll4]
Damage3[roll5]

Attack4[roll6]
Damage4[roll7]

If the enemy is killed, then he gets a fear aura, gets a 5 foot step, and a cleave attack against another foe. That attack would only deal 6d6+29 damage.

Thax declares himself to the enemies: You have made a grave mistake and a bitter enemy. You will not get another chance until you beg for it.

He goes invisible and then focuses in on the blob who grabbed him and unleashes a rain of blows on it.

Does her get the +2 to hit for being invisible if he is using hiw rapier wit to use a bluf check insteand of an attack roll? I assumed not, but add +2 if you feel like it.

Attack1[roll8]
Damage1[roll9]

Attack2[roll10]
Damage2[roll11]

Attack3[roll12]
Damage3[roll13]

Attack4[roll14]
Damage4[roll15]

Attack5[roll16]
Damage5[roll17]

Attack6[roll18]
Damage6[roll19]

The blob drops anythign in its "hands"...which I assume is nothing.

The blob is entangled, unless it can win at an opposed attack roll.

All enemies perceiving him must make a Will save DC 27 or be panicked for [roll20] rounds and then cower for 9 rounds.

Alle enemies perceiving must make a Will Save DC 23 (-4 modifier for my assumption that none of these things are attracted to male pixies) or be facinated until struck.

Daedalus

Daedalus is taken by surprise by the attack, nevertheless he recovers and proceeds to make a barrier around him and around his enemies, then implodes the ones he formed around his enemies.

Create at will barriers around him and around the enemies B1 to D1 and E2 to E4. Then he implodes the barriers around his enemies.

Here are there rolls c1 [roll0], e3 [roll1]

For the blobs turn they use the extraordinary means of travel they posses to try and move you but, it seems to be ineffective. For clarification this travel was not used earlier to move you to a spot surrounding one of the non-blobs.

The non-blob in b1 moves through the stone to reach b5 then assists in grappling the grapple check is [roll0]. If grappled they will pass you to the non-blob in square d3 who will be helped by surrounding foes making a second grapple of [roll1] to throw Revnik trough the portal. The non-blob in b2 does nothing.

Miscalculated the grapple checks they should both be 1 lower.

And Revnik can take his extra turn if he is successful in not being thrown in the portal the non-blobs have a similar bonus turn that they can use first because of higher initiative.

If the Blob's attempt to teleport us triggers AoO....
Revnik takes an attack of Opportunity against each of the blobs.
Revnik attacks against the opponent's flat footed AC, has Ghost Touch, ignores deflection, DR, and all the other stuff from before (including how he's supposed to do Con damage on any hit and is supposed to do half damage and lower the target's AC on a miss)

If the thing is still attempting to grapple Revnik, it must succeed on a touch attack. If that succeeds, He will autofailt the opposed grapple check. If they toss him in the portal, he causes any teleport effect to fail to send him anywhere (though I know you're using "non teleport" effects sometimes to teleport people places). Let me know how that all goes for him before I post everyone's actions.

I undertsand that no new touch attack would be required to pass him to another grappler, nor would he geta new AoO, but correct me if I'm wrong on those

Dr.Orpheus

2012-02-29, 12:18 AM

The failed teleportation does not provoke AoO's

The grappling AoO's miss and do half damage

Touch attack in order to grapple including flanking bonus subtract 3 if you can't be flanked through some ability [roll0] if it misses a different one will attack so here are 2 more rolls [roll1] [roll2] if the additional attacks are needed then those non blobs that missed can't assist in grappling you and you can subtract 3 from the first grapple roll per miss

You do get an AoO when being passed to the other non blob, but you can't attack when grappled unless you have light weapons

If you get thrown into the portal I will tell you what happens in spoilers marked DON'T READ, but of course you can read them because they are intended for you

After determining whether or not Revnik went through the portal he may take his turn as well as your other characters

ieatfood7

2012-02-29, 09:11 AM

After seeing that the first thing is able to grapple Revnik, Thax attempts to Foil Action the second creture's grapple, hopefully making him drop Revnik.

I think you have soemthign that belong to me!

ranged touch attack for foil action [roll0].

If that doesn't work, then Revnik is sucessfully grappled and thrown at the portal.

he will take his extra turn and his nromal turn both after Thax and Balk, since I want to post on time, but don't knwo where Revnik is.

Thax is invisible (my rolls below assume they can still see me, add +2 to attacks if they cannot) and utilized the Tome, Whirlwind attack, moving in a giant circle (auto succeeding at tumbling the whole time to avoid AoO's) to end up where he started and have hit each enemy. He worries whether he can hit without getting his bluff bonus to everyone, but hopes that they can't see him and that their flat footed AC is low enough.
