Town Monster Arena Battle: Group 1

[Douglas]

GROUP #1

Caleb (CLouD2002) (http://www.rpgwebprofiler.net/view.php?id=46838)
Mitsuya (Exachix) (http://www.thetangledweb.net/profiler/view.php?id=8861)
Jack (Vael) (http://www.thetangledweb.net/profiler/view.php?id=8288)
Hawkeye (Hawkeye) (http://www.thetangledweb.net/profiler/view.php?id=8543)

Combatants, please roll initiative and state your starting placement. After order is determined you will have three rounds to prepare before you go into battle.
All combatants must start in the red area.
Remember to use invisible castle for rolls, and be consistent in what name you use.

Round 1: Slaughter Round
Maze Arena:
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i311/ChimeraHybrid/Arenas/Arenamaze.png

[AmberVael]

Jack will begin in B10.
Initiative (1d20+3=20) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=906897)
((In his morning rituals, Jack bound himself to Aym. His bind check is this:
Bind Check (1d20+7=27) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=906902)
He therefore created a good pact))

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye begins in B12
Initiative (1d20+6=17) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=906966)
He draws his bow and does nothing else for the 3 rounds in preparation.

[Exachix]

Mitsuya begins in b11
Initiative (1d20+8=17) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=907467)

((are we doing the preparation all in one post or in initiative order?))

[CLouD2002]

Caleb will start in c10

Initiative (1d20=13) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=907850)

((Edit))ROUND 1: He will use he move action to get Psionically Focused

Psionically Focusing DC 20 (1d20+22=35) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=907855)

He becomes Psionically Focused. He then spends he standard action to Psionically Focus his Psicrystal

Psionically Focus DC 20 (1d20+22=40) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=907858)

His Psicrystal is now Psionically Focused

[Douglas]

((Preparation might as well be all at once, I see little point to making sure it goes in order by rounds. If someone uses a multi-person buff that might affect another player's preparation we can go back and change it then.

Hawkeye has already posted his non-preparation. Once the rest of you post your three rounds (even if you do nothing, you have to state it), then you can start exploring the maze in initiative order.

Edit: Hawkeye and Exachix, your tie is resolved by Exachix having a higher modifier. Initiative order is Jack, Mitsuya, Hawkeye, Caleb, monsters.))

[CLouD2002]

*Caleb waits the next two rounds saying* Do you guys want to let them come to us or us go the them? *looking to his 3 team mates*

[Hawkeye]

In response as a free action; "I say we go out and hunt 'em."

[AmberVael]

((Sorry for the wait, had to get home to my books))
Round 1:
Jack casts Mage Armor on himself.
Round 2:
Jack casts Shield on himself.
Round 3:
Jack casts Fly on himself and as a free action uses his minor shapeshift reserve feat to gain 12 temporary hp.

I think we should go to them.


7198 rounds of Mage Armor
199 rounds of Shield
200 rounds of fly
AC: 28
HP: 96 + 12 temporary

[CLouD2002]

*nods and waits till round 3 is over*

[Exachix]

Mitsuya prepares.

Round 1
She casts Status, touching Hawkeye and Caleb (Duration: 8 hours = 2880 rounds, gives her positions and status of those teamembers.)

Round 2
She casts Bless (Duration: 8 mins = 28 rounds. +1 to attack and saves vs fear.)

Round 3
She casts Resistance on Caleb. (6 rounds)

Active Spells:
Status, (Hawkeye and Caleb) 2798 rounds remaining.
Bless (All) 27 rounds (+1 to attack and saves vs Fear)
Resistance (Caleb) 6 Rounds. (+1 to resistance bonus to saves)

[AmberVael]

((I'll assume first combat round then, just to get things going.
Jack uses a double move to fly to P17 and a swift action to renew his 12 temporary HP.

7197 rounds of Mage Armor
198 rounds of Shield
199 rounds of fly
AC: 28
HP: 96 + 12 temporary

[Exachix]

Free action at start of round: set Defender property of Mace unto AC. (+1 to ac until next turn)
Mitsuya goes forward to P10 in two moves.

Active Spells
Status, (Hawkeye and Caleb) 2797 rounds remaining.
Bless (All) 26 rounds (+1 to attack and saves vs Fear)
Resistance (Caleb) 5 Rounds. (+1 to resistance bonus to saves)

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye double moves to M11.

[CLouD2002]

*Caleb sees all of his other team mates tear off down the hall so he follows. For a person in full plate his runs pretty fast*

Double move to O-15

[Douglas]

((Some duration issues:

Vael: Shield and Fly last 1 minute/level and as far as I can tell your caster level for them is 12, giving a duration of 120 rounds.

Exachix: A minute is 10 rounds. Status therefore has a duration of 8*60*10 = 4800 rounds, Bless lasts 80 rounds, and Resistance 10.))

Round 1
The group fans out into the maze, ending up somewhat dispersed but mostly still in sight of each other despite the maze's many turns. There is no sign of the opposition yet.

((To speed things up, you may post out of order if you wish. If someone with higher initiative posts after you and you want to change your action because of what that person does, you may edit them.))

Begin Round 2

[AmberVael]

((Erm... yeah, which is why they started at 120 and I subtracted preparation rounds from them... did I do some math wrong?))

[Douglas]

((You started them at 200 rounds, which is 80 too many.))

[AmberVael]

((*blinks*
huh...
Wonder how I missed that...
Oh well. I kinda doubt it will be an issue anyways))

Jack flies to Z 15 usign a double move and uses his swift action to renew his temporary HP.

7196 rounds of Mage Armor
117 rounds of Shield
118 rounds of fly
AC: 28
HP: 96 + 12 temporary

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye looks across to Mitsuya "Mitsuya, move with me, I don't want the group to get too seperated."

He double moves to R18

[CLouD2002]

Double moves to v-14

*Caleb looks to his teammates that he can see and says as a free action*

We need to stick together...

[Exachix]

((Hmm? Oh, oops. I'll fix that then. Sorry))

Free action: Bonus from Mace to AC
Mitsuya double moves to s-18

Active Spells
Status, (Hawkeye and Caleb) 4796 rounds remaining.
Bless (All) 78 rounds (+1 to attack and saves vs Fear)
Resistance (Caleb) 8 Rounds. (+1 to resistance bonus to saves)

[Douglas]

Round 2
While Mitsuya and Hawkeye hook up and stay close together, Jack and Caleb continue scouting ahead. When the enemy finally shows its face, only Caleb is in a position to find out exactly why this is called the Slaughter round. A single gnoll peeks out around a corner from Y9 and promptly ducks back. There might be more behind him, but they're out of sight and Caleb doesn't have the ears to tell.

Begin Round 3

[AmberVael]

Jack, not having noticed the gnolls or having had time to be informed of them, stays where he is as he waits for the rest of the party (at Caleb's suggestion).
He renews his 12 temporary HP as a swift action.
7195 rounds of Mage Armor
116 rounds of Shield
117 rounds of fly
AC: 28
HP: 96 + 12 temporary

[Exachix]

Free action: Bonus from Mace to AC
Mitsuya does a double move to U-14.

Active Spells
Status, (Hawkeye and Caleb) 4795 rounds remaining.
Bless (All) 77 rounds (+1 to attack and saves vs Fear)
Resistance (Caleb) 7 Rounds. (+1 to resistance bonus to saves)

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye double moves to X14, nodding to the other party members as he sees them.

[CLouD2002]

*Caleb points in the direction of y9 and whispers very lowly* Spotted the enemy

*Then he moves to x9 ((for right now...only used 20ft of 40 ft...waiting on DM to tell me what i see before i finish my moved))*

[Douglas]

((Actually, moving from V14 to X9 is 30 feet.))

Round 3
Mitsuya and Hawkeye catch up while Jack waits in place, then Caleb charges off to confront the enemy he spotted. When Caleb reaches X9, directly in front of the gnoll he spotted earlier, he can see four gnolls in positions Y9, Z8, aA8, and aA6.

Round 3 continues...

[AmberVael]

((Just as a note- I'll be posting slower until Wednesday, but I will try my hardest to post here at least once per day))

[CLouD2002]

*Caleb stops where he is...he lifts his large greatsword and tries to come down on the gnoll standing in fron...His sword seems to flash as his glowing crystal around his neck is not glowing anymore* ((Used Psionic Focus in Psicrystal to Activate Greater Psionic Weapon))

To hit (1d20+22=39) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=912531)

Damage on hit (7d6+17=47) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=912532)


*He will attempt to manifest defensively as a swift action*

Manifesting Defensively...DC 18 (1d20+22=24) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=912533)

*His eyes appear to go all white for a split second*
Expended 3 pp to manifest Hustle

*Caleb now moves to x-12 and as a free action*

There are four gnolls up there


((Used 3 pp))

[Exachix]

((Oops. Thought it had))

[Douglas]

((Exachix, round 4 hasn't started yet, I have to tell you what the gnolls do))

Round 3 end
Caleb's mighty strike slices the gnoll clean in half vertically. The eye on each half blinks once as each disconnected half of the creature's brain tries to comprehend what just happened before it topples, each half going a different way. ((You did more than four times its hp in damage.))

The remaining gnolls stream out, their fearful expressions making it obvious they would prefer to retreat if that were at all possible. Too bad for them, they know their only way out is through their foes.

Two of them move up and attack Caleb with their battleaxes while the other two hang back a short distance in the narrow hall and try to shoot past their fellows with their shortbows. One axe manages to tap his armor lightly and one of the arrows skips off the shoulder, but Caleb's full plate easily shrugs off the minor impacts.

Gnoll battleaxe attack rolls: (1d20+3=6, 1d20+3=10) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=912566)
Gnoll shortbow attack rolls: (1d20+1=18, 1d20+1=4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=912568)

Begin Round 4

[AmberVael]

((So.... where exactly area the gnolls? I need to know exact squares))

[Douglas]

((Sorry, just realized I forgot to post that. The gnolls are in squares W11, X11, W8, and X8.))

[CLouD2002]

((But i am in x-12 now...hustle gave me an instant move action))

[Douglas]

((Yes, you are. Gnolls have a move speed of 30 and the farthest any of them had to go to reach those positions was 25. The ones in W11 and X11 attacked you with battleaxes and the other two with shortbows.))

[AmberVael]

Jack moves to 15ft above the ground (20ft of movement) and then moves to X12. He then uses his Fiery Burst reserve feat to center a blast of fire between the two gnolles in W8 and X8.
6d6=18 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=913178) fire damage, reflex DC 22 (I think it is DC 22, but I don't have my books with me here in Florida... so you might want to check. I am using heighten spell to be using a 6th level spell for the feat).

[Exachix]

Sets Bonus of Mace to AC
Mitsuya moves to W-14.

Active Spells
Status, (Hawkeye and Caleb) 4794 rounds remaining.
Bless (All) 76 rounds (+1 to attack and saves vs Fear)
Resistance (Caleb) 6 Rounds. (+1 to resistance bonus to saves)

[Douglas]

((I looked it up, and 22 is the correct DC.))
Gnoll reflex saves: (1d20=2, 1d20=18) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=913183)

A miniature fireball detonates at Vael's gaze from his new vantage point directly above Caleb, and both gnolls caught in it drop their bows and fall to the ground, badly burned. They aren't quite dead yet, but they won't be getting up on their own any time soon.

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye moves to W13 and manyshoots three arrows at the gnoll in W11.


Attack roll: (1d20+15=23) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=913376)

Damage if hit: (1d8+3d6=16, 1d8+3d6=21, 1d8+3d6=11) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=913408) +11

=59

Sneak attack damage (if I can get it)=(2d6=6, 2d6=10, 2d6=6) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=913420)

=22

[Douglas]

((No sneak attack but it doesn't really matter. Also, just for future reference because you have plenty of overkill now, not all of your +11 damage is precision-based. The +1 enhancement bonus, +2 strength bonus, and +2 from Weapon Spec. all apply regardless of range so you get them on each arrow in a Manyshot. The +6 from dex and Sharpshooter might or might not also apply to all three arrows depending on the actual text, which I can't find. Where did you get that feat from? The +1 from Point Blank Shot that you apparently forgot is precision-based, however, so that would apply to only one arrow.))

Hawkeye's three arrows blast into the gnoll's head, killing it instantly. The corpse jerks a few times on its way down, but soon comes to rest on the floor with a very blackened face.

((Caleb, you're up. One gnoll remains, directly in front of you.))

[CLouD2002]

((Sorry mis-read....but i will be glad to proceed))

*Caleb raises his sword at the gnoll and tries to bring it down upon the monster. His sword flashes* He expends his psionic focus

Attack Roll (1d20+22=40) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=913660)

Damage (7d6+17=49) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=913661)

[Hawkeye]

...

The +6 from dex and Sharpshooter might or might not also apply to all three arrows depending on the actual text, which I can't find. Where did you get that feat from? The +1 from Point Blank Shot that you apparently forgot is precision-based, however, so that would apply to only one arrow.))

....



((Sharpshooter is a feat in a d&d varient called Iron Kingdoms. I asked Lykan (who asked Vael) beforehand if I was allowed to take it.

Despite nearly every d&d character I've played being archers, I've never really understood exactly how the manyshot feat actually works (and always forget the +1 damage for point blank shot). I don't know for certain what damage is precision based and what isn't.))

[Douglas]

Round 4 end
Caleb bisects the final gnoll, ending the Slaughter Round. Congratulations on slaughtering five CR 1 gnolls. Now the real competition can begin.

Round 5
You are all mysteriously transported to a new arena. Heat causes occasional shimmers in the air over the flat featureless desert you now gaze across.

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i311/ChimeraHybrid/Arenas/Sandarena.png

Once again, you start in the red area. You have one round to prepare, and each of you may choose to take an 8 hour side trip to a plane where time passes much faster, gaining a full night's rest in an instant. If you choose to rest now, that option will be unavailable to you later.

State your starting position and preparation round actions. Initiative does not change and durations continue to count down. Once the preparation round is over, the monster(s) will appear.

((Ok. I don't have an Iron Kingdoms rulebook available right now, so I'll just go with what's in your notes for the moment.

As far as I know there's no official clear general ruling on what is precision based and what isn't. The only example I know of off the top of my head that definitely is officially precision damage is sneak attack, and I generally extrapolate from that and sneak attack's range limit (plus common sense about the difficulty of precision at a distance) that any damage bonus that is limited by range independent of the weapon's range is precision damage. So, sneak attack only works within 30 feet so it's precision-based; same with point blank shot; strength, enhancement, and weapon specialization bonuses work at any distance so they are not. Whether Sharpshooter's bonus is precision-based depends on whether it only applies against targets within a certain range.))

[CLouD2002]

((Do we re-roll Initiative?))

*Caleb starts out in c-9*

[AmberVael]

((We don't, Caleb)
Jack starts in C12 and casts Blur on himself.
7193 rounds of Mage Armor
114 rounds of Shield
115 rounds of Fly
120 rounds of Blur
AC: 28
HP: 96 + 12 temporary

[Exachix]

Mitsuya starts in C11 and looks around, no re-asserting any spells.

Active Spells
Status, (Hawkeye and Caleb) 4793 rounds remaining.
Bless (All) 75 rounds (+1 to attack and saves vs Fear)
Resistance (Caleb) 5 Rounds. (+1 to resistance bonus to saves)

[CLouD2002]

*Caleb takes his move action refocuses his psicrystal and his standard action to refouse*

Psionically Focus...DC 20 (1d20+21=28) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=914417)

Psionically Focus...DC 20 (1d20+21=40) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=914418)

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye starts out in C10 and does nothing for the preparation round.

((sharpshooter is not range dependent to my current knowledge))

[Douglas]

Round 6
A gigantic insect of some kind appears at the other end of the arena, though it's hard to tell at this distance exactly what it is. It occupies squares aK9-aN12, and seems to be reacting to the new situation a bit slowly.

((Once again, the monster(s) rolled terribly for initiative and all four of you go first.))

[AmberVael]

Jack moves to aA12 as a double move and renews his temporary HP.
7192 rounds of Mage Armor
113 rounds of Shield
114 rounds of Fly
119 rounds of Blur
AC: 28
HP: 96 + 12 temporary

[CLouD2002]

*Caleb looks to the distance..blinks a bit...rubs his eyes to make sure he is seeing a bug that big. He takes off* ((runs to aA-9))

[Exachix]

Free Action: Bonus of Mace to AC.

Mitsuya runs as a Double move to Y-11.

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye rapid shoots at the insect as a full attack action.



attack roll on insect (1d20+21=41, 1d20+21=37) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=915031) (1d20+16=23) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=915036) (1d20+11=29) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=915041)

As I don't know the AC;

damage for 41: (1d8+3d6+11=25) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=915048)
damage for 37: (1d8+3d6+11=28) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=915051)
damage for 23: (1d8+3d6+11=22) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=915052)
damage for 29: (1d8+3d6+11=24) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=915053)

Confirm crit roll: (1d20+21=36) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=915060)
crit damage: (1d8+3d6+11=33) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=915065)
crit damage continued (forgot that it was a X4 multiplier...): (1d8+3d6+11=22, 1d8+3d6+11=27) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=915079)

[Douglas]

((The bonus energy damage does not get multiplied on crits. No need to reroll, invisiblecastle shows the individual dice and I counted them off, but keep that in mind for the rest of this competition.))

Round 6
Three member of the party advance at speed on the venomous creature while Hawkeye remains stationary and pummels it with arrows from afar. The third arrow glances off the outsized bug's carapace, but the second buries itself deep in a vulnerable joint and the other two also pierce its thick shell though not nearly so well.

The gargantuan scorpion, easily identifiable now, hisses in pain and anger and charges blindly at the nearest threat. One claw lashes out and catches Caleb in its grip, and his full plate armor does nothing to soften the blow. The monster easily picks up its target and continues to squeeze, attempting to crush Caleb with its strength.

Scorpion attack roll: (1d20+23=40) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=915523) Hit.
Scorpion grapple check: (1d20+37=53) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=915565) Even with a 20, Caleb can't beat that. Grappled, and constricted.
Scorpion damage and constriction: (2d6+10=16, 2d6+10=15) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=915570)

((Scorpion occupies squares aD9-aG12. Caleb is grappling with it and occupies the same space as a consequence. Caleb has taken 31 damage.))

Round 7 begin

[CLouD2002]

*Caleb blinks at him and says* Try grappling something that is two times your size bud... *as he says this he tries to manifest*

Manifest while Pinned...DC 20 (1d20+22=40) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=916043)

((Caleb is able to manifest normally...))*he is now making a conceration check to manifest defensively*

Manifesting Defensively....DC 11 (1d20+22=34) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=916054)

*Caleb's eyes go white for a second and he reaches out and touches the creature*

Touch attack (1d20+22=24) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=916087)

((Caleb expends 5 pp))
Empathic transfer, Hostile - DC 18

50 damage or will save for half

((Caleb gets back hp equal to what he drains))

[Hawkeye]

((oops :smallredface: I'd be a decent warrior if I had a better head for numbers))

Hawkeye rapid shoots the insect again ((if either Vael's or Exachix's actions would change this I'll edit as I'm posting out of initative))



attack roll: (1d20+21=36, 1d20+21=40) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=916143) (1d20+16=31) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=916156) (1d20+11=27) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=916158)

damage: 1d8+3d6+11=24
1d8+3d6+11=24
1d8+3d6+11=32
1d8+3d6+11=25 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=916177)

Confirm crit roll:(1d20+21=33) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=916180)

Crit damage: 1d8+11=15
1d8+11=14
1d8+11=16 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=916182)

[AmberVael]

Jack flies 10ft into the air and 20 ft fowards, ending 10ft high and in square aE 12. He then centers a Fiery Burst on aG 12.
6d6=21 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=916272) fire damage.
Reflex DC 22 for half.
He then renews his 12 temporary HP with a swift action.
7191 rounds of Mage Armor
112 rounds of Shield
113 rounds of Fly
118 rounds of Blur
AC: 28
HP: 96 + 12 temporary

[Douglas]

Scorpion Reflex Save: (1d20+6=16) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=916342)

The scorpion lurches a bit from the flames, but still stands and still holds Caleb.

((Caleb, make a save. You were in the area too.))

[AmberVael]

((How can he be in the entirely same area as the scorpion? Isn't he too small?
If he counts as being in the entire square I'm totally changing my action))

[Douglas]

((The closest I can find to RAW about the space taken up by grappling opponents of different sizes is that normally the one that started it moves into the other's space, and with Improved Grab (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#improvedGrab) the grappler pulls the target into his space. I interpret this to mean that the character's spaces become the same regardless of their relative sizes, just as a mounted character occupies the entire space of his mount despite being smaller. This interpretation is backed up by this Rules of the Game (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20050301a) article. Any area attack that hits either grappler hits both.

Oh, and Hawkeye, in case you didn't realize it, each of your arrows has a 50% chance of hitting Caleb instead of the scorpion as long as the grapple continues. Improved Precise Shot (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/feats.htm#improvedPreciseShot) negates this, but you don't have that.

That's the rules. As for the fluff behind them, the scorpion could be waving Caleb around, instinctively holding him up as a shield against incoming attacks.

You may both change your actions if you want.))

[AmberVael]

((...thats fairly retarded, if you ask me. But whatever, if it is how the rules state it...))
*EDITY GOODNESS*

Instead of using Fiery Burst, Jack casts Magic Missile at the scorpion.
5d4+5=15 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=916674)
((Fear my terrible rolls!))

[Exachix]

Mitsuya hmms, and casts Sanctuary On herself.

Active Spells
Status, (Hawkeye and Caleb) 4791 rounds remaining.
Bless (All) 73 rounds (+1 to attack and saves vs Fear)
Resistance (Caleb) 3 Rounds. (+1 to resistance bonus to saves)
Sanctuary (Me) 8 rounds

[Douglas]

Round 7, first half
Jack flies up above the scorpion and zaps it with five tiny bolts of energy, earning an angry glare in response. Meanwhile, Mitsuya is apparently content to let the rest of the party handle things while she buffs herself.

((Waiting on Hawkeye's decision about whether to risk hitting Caleb with his shots or not.))

[Hawkeye]

((drat, those were good rolls as well...ignore my last post))

Hawkeye runs to U10, not wanting to shoot into the combat.

[CLouD2002]

((Scorpion still needs to make a will save ;-) ))

[Douglas]

Round 7 finish
Hawkeye closes the distance, preferring not to risk Caleb being interposed in front of his arrows in the struggle.

Caleb successfully concentrates to use the power of his mind despite the distraction and easily touches his foe. A rush of psionic power flows into the scorpion, attempting to transfer his aches and pains to the vermin, only to find that the monster has nothing so complex as what is usually referred to by the word "mind". It's motivating force is simply too simple for such a trick to work, and the transfer fails utterly.

The scorpion turns most of its attention to the annoying fly that stung it a moment ago, holding Caleb only with the one claw, and swipes at Jack with both a claw and its poisonous stinger. Both attacks miss, deflected by Jack's protective spells. The claw still holding Caleb tries to crush the half-giant in half, but his bulk had shifted by chance to perfectly position his armor for the best possible resistance to the pincer.

Scorpion stinger attack roll: (1d20+16=21) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=916966)
Scorpion claw at Caleb: (1d20+17=18) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=916973)
Scorpion claw at Jack: (1d20+23=26) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=916975) Edit: Oops, forgot to take off the charging bonus for this one. Misses either way, but a 24 isn't quite as close.
((That was a really pathetic series of rolls. Anyway, Caleb has discovered it's immune to mind-affecting stuff, and it's taking a -20 on any grapple checks Caleb might try so it can attack and threaten other opponents.))

[Douglas]

Round 8
Jack's new set of five missiles slams into the scorpion, and it staggers under the impact. The giant bug continues to sway drunkenly for another second or two, then falls over and releases its hold on Caleb. Insect blood trickles out of the various arrow wounds. It is obviously dying.

((All other actions may be changed in light of this. You have until the end of the round before the next arena transition, which will be followed by another 1-round preparation. You may specify both rounds' (except for Jack who already acted this round) actions at once if you like, along with your new starting position, but I haven't picked the next arena or rolled for the monster selection yet.

Caleb: Skill checks do not automatically fail on 1's. That only happens for saves and attacks. Also, you've been forgetting to add the power's level to the concentration DC, and failing that check would mean you lose the power (power points spent, but no effect), not you take an AoO. Not that any of this matters at the moment because the scorpion died (technically only at -5 hp, but close enough) before your turn.

Exachix, the chance to hit the wrong grappler is only for ranged attacks. You'd have to roll for which one you hit if you were using Reach Spell metamagic, but not for a melee touch.

BTW, if bonus energy damage dice were multiplied on crits, Hawkeye would have reduced it to -9 with his first volley before it even got to move.))

[Hawkeye]

((BTW, if bonus energy damage dice were multiplied on crits, Hawkeye would have reduced it to -9 with his first volley before it even got to move.))

((hehe, I like my gun :smallbiggrin: ))

Hawkeye aims his bow at the scorpion when it releases Caleb, but sees it's dying so doesn't shoot.

When the arena changes he starts in C10 and does nothing for the prep. round.

Round 9
You find yourselves moved right back to where you were a few moments ago when the scorpion appeared. Its dying body has vanished, but everything else looks the same. Unreachable in the distance, you see some mountains that the more nature/weather-savvy of you (if any of you have such knowledge) might realize are the cause of this area's dryness. You wait for the next challenge to appear.

Round 10
A jagged blue line splits the air between Jack and one of the birds with a loud crack, passing a few feet over the winged monstrosity's head as it ducks slightly. A small fork breaks off the main line to zap it anyway, but it takes little notice.
Mitsuya continues to save most of her resources for later.
Hawkeye's volley of arrows slams into the same target as Jack's lightning, all four of them finding a mark. The enormous creature screams in pain and anger and focuses its eyes on the powerful archer.
Caleb advances and concentrates his psychic power into seeing glimpses of the future.

The huge pair scream a deafening battle cry in unison and dive at their nearest foes, the most hated one being too far away to snatch on the first pass. One talon scrapes off Caleb's armor, earning him a slightly confused glare from the somewhat scorched bird as it tries to spot what deflected its blow from what had seemed an easy hit. Jack is not so lucky. The unhurt bird slams into him at high speed, leaving a nasty set of scratches, and tries to pick him up.

Reflex save: (1d20+13=30) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=919543) Success.
Attack on Caleb: (1d20+23=26) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=919565) Miss.

((Bird 1 is in L6-O9, Bird two is in P10-S13. Both are 15 feet in the air. Jack's temporary hp are gone and he has taken 34 damage to his permanent hp. Unless he succeeds on a DC 23 grapple check, he is also grappled by Bird 2, held in one talon.))

Round 11
Jack flees straight up from the bird, a few drops of blood dripping down from the nasty gash he couldn't avoid receiving.
Mitsuya gets closer to the action.
Hawkeye continues his barrage, felling the huge creature when his third arrow hits an eye and goes straight through to the brain. Automatic reflexes keep it going just long enough to crash into the sand behind the party, and the final arrow scores a wound on the second target.
Caleb suddenly triples in size and steps back a little.

The remaining monster, enraged by the death of its mate, flies at the one responsible, heedless of any threats on the way, and attempts to snatch him up to crush in its mighty talons, but between his dodging and his armor the attempt fails.

Attack roll on Hawkeye: (1d20+21=23) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=922071)

((Hawkeye, since your third arrow brought it well past -10, I figured I shouldn't even bother asking whether you wanted to change the fourth's target.

Caleb, you get an AoO.

The one surviving enemy is in C11-F14, still 15 feet above the ground.

Caleb's sword leaves a large gash across the creature's chest.

Round 12
Jack concentrates on healing himself.
Mitsuya stays where she is.
Hawkeye steps back and nocks his bow for a few more shots, but finds he is still too close to the mighty bird's talons as it takes advantage of his distraction to take another swipe at him. This time it connects, and tries to pick him up just as it did Jack earlier.

((Hawkeye, make a grapple check. If you get 26 or below, you're snatched up in the bird's grip and can't use your bow. I'll post the rest of this round after seeing the result.))

[Hawkeye]

Grapple check: 1d20+14=16 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=923199)

((just when I needed a decent roll it gives me a 2...))

He fails and is grappled. Grr.

[Douglas]

((Ouch. That could make things a bit rougher on everyone. We'll see how I roll this round.))

Round 12 finish
Hawkeye is lifted off his feet before he can get a shot off and finds he doesn't have room to pull his bow back far enough to shoot anything from where he is now.
Caleb backs off quickly and charges the monster. His sword sinks deep before he pulls it back out. The winged beast is obviously badly hurt, but still refuses to succumb to its injuries.

The bird has no desire to tangle in its current condition with someone capable of dishing out blows as powerful as Caleb's, especially when it can just stay out of reach. Squeezing Hawkeye with the one talon, it flies in a tight upward spiral at Jack's airborn threat, lashing out with the unoccupied talon. The blow hits hard, and Jack finds himself once again trying to fend off the grip of something far stronger than himself.

Automatic squeezing damage on Hawkeye: (2d6+12=19) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=923251)
Attack on Jack: (1d20+23=43) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=923223) (actually 41 without charge)
Crit confirmation on Jack: (1d20+23=32) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=923226) (actually 30 without charge, still confirms)
Miss chance on Jack: (1d100=43) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=923264)
Grapple on Jack: (1d20+17=22) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=923228)
Damage on Jack: (4d6+24=40) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=923239)

((Ow. Caleb, you get an AoO, but it's still got enough hp to absorb it and keep going unless you do a lot more damage than last time. Also, charging stops at the nearest square you can attack from, which puts you in I11-K13, I think.

Hawkeye, you have taken 38 damage and are grappled.

Jack, my math is that 62+21 = 83, not 93. Damage from this attack then brings that down to 55 after taking off temp hp, and you're grappled unless you get a 23 on your grapple check.

The monster is now in C11-F14, 45 feet off the ground.))

Round 13 Begin

Edit: missed Jack's movement, have to go somewhere, will post changes when I get back. Considering exactly where he moved to and the creature's mobility, things may change a lot.

Edit2: On review of the vertical space and reach rules, including Rules of the Game articles, and flying movement for the appropriate maneuverability, all that changes is where the bird ends up and that it can't charge. The +2 bonus for charging didn't make a difference anyway, so nothing much changed.

[AmberVael]

((...so this creature has 30ft reach?
Because Jack is definitely 75ft in the air))

[Douglas]

((The 45 feet is where the bottom of it is. The top is at 60 feet, which is close enough for 15 ft reach to hit.))

[AmberVael]

((...oh. meep))
Grapple: 1d20+3=18 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=923872)
Jack uses his swift action to regain his 12 temp HP.
Again.
He then uses Dimensional Jaunt to poof in front of the bird in K 10, then moves down to L 12 (on the ground).

(("if you and your target have bodies that are so different that the disguise self spell could not disguise you as your target, this spell fails." You are Medium, Caleb is Huge. That is a great deal more than the 1 foot of height difference Disguise Self (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/disguiseSelf.htm) is limited to, so the spell fails.))

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye tries to break free of the grapple

grapple check 1d20+14=29 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=923898)

If he succeed's he makes a controlled jump to the floor (hopefully converting the first d6 into non lethal damage), rolling to lessen the blow (tumble check to ignore first d6 damage).

tumble check: 1d20+8=13 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=923936) which fails ((bummer :( ))

((Well just the way it worded it made it seem like it had two spells in one.
Can I redo that, or am I f***ed?))

[Douglas]

((Ad Hoc DM ruling: intelligence check DC 14 to realize in character that it Doesn't Work That Way in time to do something else. Even on a success, the partial casting before realization takes your move action. How's that?

Edit: Decided I should probably take spell level into account for the DC, but 19 seemed a bit high, so DC 10+spell level))

[AmberVael]

((I'd think it was more of 'my error' than Jack's.
He probably uses it all the time, and he is a sorcerer who has innate powers, knowing them pretty well. I have only used it once. Now, in fact. I just didn't read over it carefully enough.
Even if it IS his error, I'd think a spellcraft or knowledge check to "identify the spell" (with penalty to catch it in time) would be more appropriate))

((Hmm, true. And he has had it for a while, it being his second 4th level spell, acquired 3 levels ago. Go ahead and change it.))

*Looks around* Anyone got a spell that can make me fly?

*Caleb waits*

[Douglas]

Caleb's parting slash elicits a pained squawk from the creature. It is clearly on its last legs (er, wings) as it struggles up to grab Jack.

Round 13
Jack escapes the bird's talon again, this time taking extra precaution to avoid being grabbed a third time.
Mitsuya is still conserving her resources.
Hawkeye tries to pry the bird's talon open so he can escape, but its grip is too strong.
Caleb glares at the foe he can no longer reach.

The great bird, fearing for its life, starts fleeing back the way it came. Hawkeye comes along for the ride and finds the other talon joining in the attempts to gain revenge.

Grapple check to keep Hawkeye: (1d20+17=35) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=924121)
Attack on Hawkeye: (1d20+17=36) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=924139)
Damage on Hawkeye: (2d6+12=23, 2d6+12=21) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=924141)

((Total of 44 damage to Hawkeye this round. Bird is now in N11-Q14, 60 feet up.

Elan, Caleb is only Huge right now. He counts as Gargantuan for some purposes, but he's actually just Huge :smalltongue:))

Round 14 Begin

[AmberVael]

Jack casts Fly on Caleb, though he is tempted to use his wand on himself.
He then renews his temporary HP.

((Vael, where did those 18 points of healing come from?))

[Hawkeye]

"Help!"

Hawkeye tries again to free himself

grapple check (using guidance): 1d20+15=30 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=925136)

If he succeeds he makes a controlled jump to the ground, and rolls on impact to lessen the fall

tumble check: 1d20+8=25 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=925142) (succeeds on the DC 15 check)

If he fails he curses again "I have to hire better help than those who just stand around watching me die"
remaining hit points: 58

[AmberVael]

((Oh, right, I had used my wand originally but then I changed it to cast Fly on Caleb.
I musta forgotten to edit that part back out))

[Douglas]

Round 14
Jack gives Caleb wings.
Mitsuya waits.
Hawkeye just barely manages to slip out of the bird's talon, and proceeds to fall 60 feet to the ground below. Despite his controlled roll, it is still a jarring impact.

Grapple check to keep Hawkeye: (1d20+17=29) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=925162)
Falling damage: (5d6=17) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=925180)

((I think Guidance got discharged when you declared you were using it on a bow shot even though the shot got interrupted, but I'm not going to quibble about it when it has so little chance of making any difference.

Waiting on Caleb to finish the round.))

[Douglas]

Round 14 finish
Caleb charges through the air at a steep angle, crashing into the Roc from below with a viscious strike that severs a wing. The four ton corpse proceeds to crash into the sand, creating a sizable crater. Crater and corpse alike disappear as the stage is reset for the next battle.

((That was quite a bit of overkill. It only had 6 hp left.

One round of prep before the next monster arrives. State your actions, start position (Caleb, at least, will have to be different because he has to specify a 3x3 block instead of just one square), and whether you're going to take your rest.))

Round 15 begin (preparation round)

[AmberVael]

Jack decides healing would be a good idea.
((Since I already rolled for that 18 points of healing, but changed it to casting Fly, I'll just use that roll. Okay?
And apparently when I was looking for the link I made it roll another two rolls for me which I didn't mean to make. :P))

Round 15
The party prepares and heals up quickly, wondering what monster will appear next.

Round 16 begin
And the answer to the big question on everyone's mind is... nothing. As far as anyone can tell, no opponent has yet appeared.

[AmberVael]

Jack decides that is not a good sign. Not at all.
He flies up thirty feet into the air and casts See Invisibility, then renews his 12 temp hp with his swift action.

[AmberVael]

There isn't anything invisible out there.
Jack calls out as his nifty free action.

[Douglas]

((Technically, you haven't proven that yet. You don't even have to go outside the SRD to find a way to defeat See Invisibility (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#dustofDisappearance), or it could just be hiding somewhere with a hide check so high none of you could possibly succeed on the opposed spot roll... Or I could just be taunting you as any good Evil DM is supposed to. :smalltongue: Which is it? Only time will tell. :smallbiggrin:))

[AmberVael]

((Jack thinks it is a bit wordy to say "I don't see anything invisible but there might be something making a high hide check or using a magic item or foiling my divination."))

((Wait, Jack is not V in disguise? When did this happen?))

Round 19
Jack flies to the center of the arena.
Mitsuya waits.
Hawkeye moves forward, preparing to dodge any incoming attacks.

The enemy finally shows itself, burrowing out from the sand in front of Hawkeye. A gigantic snake-like creature with purple scales erupts from the ground and attempts to bite Hawkeye. Somehow, despite the mouth being bigger than Hawkeye all by itself, it manages to miss and get a mouthful of sand instead.

Miss Chance: (1d100=84) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=933654) Might hit.
Attack roll: (1d20+25=26) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=933659) Miss.

((Caleb, I imagine you'll want to change your action. Everyone else can start on round 20 now.

The creature is in squares I9-L12, mostly still submerged beneath the sand.))

Jack flies up 30ft, ending in T 12 70ft.

Round 19 end
Caleb charges the monster and, with luck just as bad as the creature's bite, sinks his sword deep into the sand beside it. As he moves away afterwards, luck momentarily decides to favor him just as much as it had frowned on him a moment ago and the worm's attack on his retreating figure hits nothing but air.

Round 20
Jack sends a tiny globe at the creature that delivers a devastating punch.
Mitsuya continues to stand back.

AoO on Caleb: (1d20+25=26) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=936993)

((That was an amusing spree of natural 1's. Hawkeye, you're up.))

Round 20
Hawkeye retreats and sends three arrows into a weak spot in the beast's scales, reappearing when he does so.

The worm lunges forward at the annoying pest that it can reach, this time connecting and lifting the puny human in a crushing grip with its mouth.

Power Attack on Hawkeye: (1d20+22=30) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=937067)
Damage on Hawkeye: (2d6+15=19) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=937073)
Grapple: It has +40. Even 20 vs 1, you can't win.

((It knows your location within 5 feet, but that doesn't negate the total concealment and loss of its (nonexistent) dex bonus. Sneak attack is, however, precision damage, so you only get the first roll on a manyshot. Lucky for you, that's the highest one.

Hawkeye is now grappled and is sharing the space of E9-H12 with the monster.

No, the endless succession of grappling monsters was not my idea. It's the dice, I tell you, THE DICE! :smalltongue:))

[Hawkeye]

((erm, to get to my location you have to go through where Mitsuya is))

[Douglas]

((It has 15 foot reach, and you were only 5 feet behind Mitsuya.))

Jack remains where he is and fires off a Magic Missile at the monster.

Round 21
Caleb embeds his sword deep into the purple worm's spine. The massive creature shudders for a moment, then drops Hawkeye and slowly collapses.

Round 22
You are transported to a new and (finally) different arena. You have one round to prepare and may choose to rest if you have not already done so.

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i311/ChimeraHybrid/Arenas/Waterarena.png

((Good thing for you that Caleb's charges do so much damage, Hawkeye. It was about to swallow you whole and go back underground for a round or two.))

[Exachix]

Jack starts in *gasp* C 12.
He moves next to Hawkeye's position and casts Fly on him. (CL 12, so 120 rounds, Hawkeye)
He adds in See Invisibility to his list of effects, because he certainly had cast it, he had just forgot to put it in.
He uses a swift action to get his Temp HP refreshed.

I should have mentioned this earlier, but the blue areas in this map are water, not walls.

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye, not wanting to crouch on the floor under Jack, starts in B10 now.

[CLouD2002]

((okay... Exachix and Hawkeye's characters see this, the others don't))

A rough humanoid shape lurks in the shadows beneath one of the walkway at YZ8-9. Its luminous blue eyes, which you at first took to be reflections from above, are what gave it away. Its mouth seems to be somewhat like that of a shark.

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye speaks as a free action;

"I see a shape in the water there" *points to YZ8-9* "It sort of looks like a shark"

The creature stays strangely still, watching you. Suddenly it does... something. The hair on the backs of your necks stands up in response to some hidden force.

Round 25

Jack's orb of force strikes the creature, and it recoils, but then swims closer, ending beneath another one of the shadowed walkways, but as it passes through the light you catch the glint of light off leaden gray skin. You feel an irrational, overpowering fear of the water and of the creatures that dwell in it.

Then the creature begins singing in a way eerily reminiscent of whalesong, but ineffably different, twisted in some fashion you can neither identify nor describe. Caleb, upon hearing this song, feels a growing sense of empathy for the creature.

Swims to OP10-11, everyone make a DC 22 Will save, and Caleb, make a second Will save against DC 20. The first save is a mind-affecting fear effect, the second is mind-affecting sonic.

[CLouD2002]

Will Save....DC 22 for Fear (1d20+9=25) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1008448)

You become extremely phobic of the sea. As long as a large body of water is within your sight sight, you take a -2 penalty on Will saves. In addition, you take a -2 penalty on attack rolls against aquatic creatures even when a large body of water is not present.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Round 26

Jack's orb of force strikes again, and as Hawkeye quaffs a potion, Mitsuya stands waiting for an opportunity to do something, and Caleb moves farther away, the creature moves forward, still singing its eerie song.

The creature moves to EF10-11 (still underwater). Mitsuya and Jack have to make Will saves vs. DC 22 again (sonic mind-affecting), and I'll need to know your alignments.

[AmberVael]

((huh, could have sworn I had it down on there...

Round 27

You all shrug off the pressure gnawing at the edges of your minds as the singing goes on.

Jack's orb of force and Hawkeye's arrows impact the walkway they are standing on. Their combined force punches a hole through the walkway, but the potency of their attacks was expended on the wood of the walkway, and not much else happens.

Caleb feels a blast of magical power that strips away nearly all of powers and spells enhancing his abilities, and he falls into the water.

The creature moves to CD8-9 and casts a targeted greater dispel magic at Caleb. Dispel Magic, Greater (1d20+14=18, 1d20+14=31, 1d20+14=27, 1d20+14=32, 1d20+14=28) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1053994)

Asuming CL/ML 12 for all effects...
Force Screen remains up.
Offensive Precog goes down.
Expansion goes down, shrinking Caleb to N4.
Touchsight goes down.
Fly goes down.

Caleb falls 40 feet into the water, taking falling damage (nonlethal) (2d3=3) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1054011). He then begins to sink and must make a DC 10 Swim check to keep his head above water.

[CLouD2002]

Swim check (1d20-4=0) (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1054927)

*Caleb takes in a big breath as he splashes in the water. He opens his eyes and perpares to attack*

((Anything that gets in range of him. He will swing))

((Bump. If you're irritated at me for not reminding you about the walkway, I would like to point out that it was clearly marked on the map, and that I clearly stated where the creature moved to.

In short: It's your own fault for not bothering to check the map.))

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye, flying at 30ft, moves to H10 and manyshoots two arrows at the creature if it can be seen from that position without the walkways getting in the way ((I think some of the walkways were destroyed in a previous attack)).

If people higher up in the order would change my actions I'll edit.
