The Planar Prize [evil party] IC

[Ellas Aramond]

The pit is 15 ft long, with a wall of force right on this edge(where most of the party is). Currently "Ellas Aramond" is on the other side.

Please kentma, just call me Ellas. I've found its easier on the tongue.

[Toliudar]

Kentma, please check my original post about the pit. It specifies "only if the pit is 10' or less across. So, I can ignore the jump?

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Wait, so I'm not across? Or did I miss something and this is another pit with another wall? Sorry if I seem somewhat inattentive, I've been distracted by this and that.

[kentma57]

Alright people seem confused the pit is 15ft long everyone is on the side leading into the room with the chest, with the exception of Ellas, and the bear did not jump.

Are there any questions?

[Toliudar]

Yup. What does Ursayk see if she carefully peers down the pit?

Thanks for the clarification.

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Rorrik sighs as he scours his mind of all his arcane knowledge of the spells he has at his disposal and realizes there's only one course of action he's capable of.
"If I may do the honors, I can get rid of this one, too."

[kentma57]

Yup. What does Ursayk see if she carefully peers down the pit?

Thanks for the clarification.

It is very deep and very dark...


Rorrik sighs as he scours his mind of all his arcane knowledge of the spells he has at his disposal and realizes there's only one course of action he's capable of.
"If I may do the honors, I can get rid of this one, too."

I assume you use dissintigrate...

[Toliudar]

That may not be necessary.

Experimentally, Ursayk picks up a few pebbles. She tosses them into the pit with decreasing force - trying to determine how far down the Wall of Force goes by watching where/if the pebbles bounce back. As a bonus, she's trying to determine roughly how deep the pit is by the delay before there is any sound of landing.

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Yeah, not using disintegrate yet. I have only so many 6th level spells.

[kentma57]

You don't hear the pebble hit the bottom...

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Rorrik scratches his chin as he floats. "Perhaps I could see the bottom for myself." He then proceeds to float down slowly and watch out for what lies at the bottom, if anything.

[kentma57]

Rorrik scratches his chin as he floats. "Perhaps I could see the bottom for myself." He then proceeds to float down slowly and watch out for what lies at the bottom, if anything.

How long/far are you going to float down? Though it does not matter you don't find the bottom.

[Toliudar]

[I think the question was also "how far down the shaft does the wall of force extend"]

Ursayk examines the wall of the passage - is it worked stone, masonry with plaster, or featureless rock?

[kentma57]

[I think the question was also "how far down the shaft does the wall of force extend"]

You don't find the edge of the wall of force...
It just keeps going, and going, and going...


Ursayk examines the wall of the passage - is it worked stone, masonry with plaster, or featureless rock

It is solid rock that has been worked so smoothe it is almost imposible to grip...

[Toliudar]

Ursayk

Calling softly down to Rorrik, Ursayk says: If you'd rather save your spell, there's a chance we'll be able to dig around the pit instead.

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Rorrik looks up. "Sounds like a plan, then!" and floats back up to the rest of the party.

[The_Snark]

Svargithurik

"It does. Past time we started doing something they won't expect. Now, stand back." Moving his head next to the wall, the drake inhales with a sound like a bellows, then breathes a wave of flame onto the stone. A strong smell of brimstone fills the air as Svarg inspects the wall; then he rears up, beating his wings rapidly, and begins tearing great chunks out of the stone with his claws.

Breath weapon damage: [roll0]. Half that is fire damage, which is halved again for attacking an object, but the other half is profane damage.

The claws should hit pretty much automatically even with full Power Attack, dealing [roll1], [roll2], and then rend damage: [roll3]. All attacks bypass hardness as if they were adamantine, thanks to the ring.

Edit- So that's 8 fire damage, subject to hardness, 16 profane damage, and a total of 101 from the attacks.

[kentma57]

hmm, I had not thought of that...

You claw/flame 5ft into the wall???

[The_Snark]

Yep. Obviously, if something strange happens, like acid pouring out of the walls, Svarg will stop.

[Toliudar]

Backing up hastily, Ursayk waits for the smoke to clear before she examines the results of Svarg's excavations.

Er. Quite. I actually meant "I could turn into an umber hulk" or something like that. But this was useful.

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Rorrik smirks as he rests his sword on his shoulder and watches Svarg make himself out to be a drill.

[The_Snark]

Svargithurik

"If it will go faster, be my guest." The drake is bracing himself against the ceiling and floor with wings and tail as he attempts to gouge chunks out of the wall, but he makes way for one of the others if they have something to try.

At this rate, Svarg can probably remove a 5-ft chunk of stone in just under a minute, meaning it'll take about 4 and a half minutes to carve our own little pathway through the wall to the other side. That's based on the assumption that it's normal stone, of course, which may not be the case...

Can Ursayk wild shape into abberations, then?

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

"Sorry, I doubt I could go further without expending spell slots... unless of course I used my sword."

[Toliudar]

Ursayk can't wildshape into aberrations, but she can cast shapechange. She just hasn't yet.

[kentma57]

So, what are you doing now?

[The_Snark]

Waiting for feedback on how successful Svarg's excavations are, I think.

[kentma57]

Svarg excevates another 5 ft...

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

I'm basically just waiting for him to finish...

[Ellas Aramond]

I'm basically just waiting for him to finish...

As am I...while whistling something very annoying.

[kentma57]

One hour, passes and Svarg has excivated a total of 40ft. How do you want to use it?

[MrDeez]

Dun Dun Dun Duunnn!

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

One hour, passes and Svarg has excivated a total of 40ft. How do you want to use it?

Would he really go that far? I thought we were just getting under the wall of force.

[The_Snark]

He'd dig out 5 5-ft cubes, or about 25 feet, into the wall past the Wall of Force, assuming humanoid form when necesary to fit into the space he's carving out of the wall. That ought to be enough to get past the pit.

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Rorrik flies through the tunnel once it's completed and stands firm on the ground of the other side.

[kentma57]

You now have a tunnel around the pit...

[Toliudar]

Ursayk follows along, watching for hot sections, and joins Svarg and Deneb on the far side.

[kentma57]

what will you do once the party is on the other side...

[Toliudar]

Ursayk

Once the group is safely assembled on the far side of the pit, Ursayk looks at the others.

Well, it's clear that there were others here before us, and it seems unlikely that it was just Dead Guy slumped over the chest. Especially since it wasn't a fireball that killed him, or he'd have been all charred. We might as well keep looking for an alternate passage. Deneb? What do you think?

[Ellas Aramond]

I think the big question is: Why would someone come down here in the first place? Deneb says as he strokes his clean-shaven chin as though one would a beard. Down to some maze underneath a city?

Of course, that leads to the next question. Why are WE down here? I have yet to be told that piece of information.

As he speaks his next words, his body turns into mist, allowing him to move along the walls and feel for any cracks that might define a secret door. Anyway, I think its time for a different strategy.

Using my Gaseous Form spell-like ability.

Also Search: [roll0]
and Spot: [roll1] in case I need it.

[kentma57]

Though there are some cracks in the walls none you find lead to hidden doors...

OOC: you might want to continue back down the hall...

[Toliudar]

[Sure. My assumption is that Deneb is leading/searching, but Ursayk is fine to be right behind. Foresight (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/foresight.htm)continues to be active.]

[Ellas Aramond]

I'm going to check on the other side of the pit. The gaseous assassin says as he floats back. just to be safe.

Same procedure as before.
Spot: [roll0]
Search: [roll1]

[kentma57]

I'm going to check on the other side of the pit. The gaseous assassin says as he floats back. just to be safe.

Same procedure as before.
Spot: [roll0]
Search: [roll1]

Same result as before...

[Ellas Aramond]

Well, I'm not finding anything. Deneb says after he floats back to the group. Anyone got any bright ideas before I turn solid again?

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Well, I'm not finding anything. Deneb says after he floats back to the group. Anyone got any bright ideas before I turn solid again?

"Maybe spend a little more time, couple minutes of searching ought to root out anything that might elude you..."
You should take 20 on your search check.

[Ellas Aramond]

Deneb shrugs as he goes to search the hallway again, not having much better to do.

Okay, same thing as before, only I'm taking 20.
Search: 31
Spot: 25

[kentma57]

You don't find a secret passage...

[Ellas Aramond]

Deneb floats back to the group. Nope, nothing.

[Toliudar]

Ursayk

The dwarf woman shrugs.

Any reason NOT to retrace our steps again, back to the entrance, double-checking the surfaces along the way? I figure that if we don't find anything, we'll have done everything that elf asked us to do, and can reasonably claim our reward. Basically, all we have is some disembodied voice who wants to play silly buggers and throw fireballs. That's something the elf may want to know about, but otherwise...

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

"Couldn't hurt to check back... If we don't find a thing we'll just make a door of our own." Rorrik smirks at Svarg, the flame of his blade and surrounding him crackling softly.

[Ellas Aramond]

Might as well. He floats away, searching the rest of the tunnel.

Once again, takes 20 searching the entirety of the tunnel.
Search: 31
Spot: 25

[The_Snark]

Svarg

"Yes. And be careful; if this trap reactivated, some of the others may have as well. Perhaps our employer will be happy with the tablet." The drake follows, sniffing the air for any changes.

[kentma57]

As your search brings you around the corrner you notice that all the blade are gone...

OOC: you might want to look at the tome again...

[Toliudar]

Ursayk

As they confront a hallway that seems freshly armed to greet them, Ursayk pauses to extract a solid-looking but not particuarly elegant green circlet from her pack, and places it on her head. Uttering a few dark, grunting syllables, Ursayk makes a few swift passes with her hands. She and the bear seem to shimmer, but nothing else happens.

Her Foresight spell prompts her to glance over at the tablet.

Hey, Rorrik! That tablet doing anything different? I've got this hunch...

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Rorrik promptly takes the tablet from his pack and looks at it.

[kentma57]

The tablet now reads...

"You survived, I knew that pit trap was to easy."

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Rorrik recites what it says and shows it around to everyone in the party.

[Ellas Aramond]

So, we have somebody watching us, eh? The wind-fused assassin says loudly as he returns to solid form, glancing around the tunnel. Of course the pit trap was too easy, never underestimate the power of the wind. But what's all this about?

Spot: [roll0] to see anything that might be revealing us.
Int check: [roll1] to notice any scrying sensors that might be about.
And also casting Detect Magic again. Spellcraft: [roll2]

[kentma57]

You notice some magic resonateing from the tome...

[Toliudar]

Ursayk

Suppressing a deep desire to simply toss the tome into the seemingly bottomless pit, Ursayk gestures to Deneb.

Well, Windy. It looks like something has just magically reset THIS trap too. Any chance you can take another shot at disarming it?

[Ellas Aramond]

Lets see what I can do. Deneb says as he walks into the middle of the trap room and summons another force javelin, wary of any of his footsteps that might set off the trap. The launches it at the ceiling, then shadow blinks back to the party.

He summons and throws another force javelin at the ceiling, then Uses his shadow blink maneuver to teleport back to the party. He immediately shadow blinks back to the party should any of his actions set off the trap.

[kentma57]

You are in the hallway, but nothing seems to happen when the javalin hits the ceiling.

[The_Snark]

Svargithurik

Svarg mutters a potent curse in Abyssal on the tablet and its creators. Of course, he has no magical power, and a thousand screaming demons completely fail to appear and drag the stone object into the Wells of Darkness for all eternity. "Step aside, then. We'll see whether the builders of this place cut corners on their traps." He assumes the smaller, semi-humanoid form of the ring given him, and moves forward, wings flapping slowly to keep him off the floor. Trying to remember where the last blade was in the corridor, he cautiously proceeds, long tail poised to lash out and wrench the blades from whatever mechanism holds them in the wall.

Svarg will fly forward to the place the trap starts and past; if the trigger requires contact with the floor, it won't be set off. Readied action to stop and smash the first blade that comes out, with full Power Attack: [roll0], damage [roll1], with damage overcoming any hardness less than adamantine. His AC in this form is 39, or 41 against traps.

Essentially, since we can't find or disarm them, he's triggering it and hoping to smash the blade before it damages him.

[kentma57]

As you come to where you think the first traps are; two blades fly out of the walls on either side of you...

Make an attack roll for one and a reflex save for the other...

[The_Snark]

The attack is up there- attack 24, damage 36 (bypasses any hardness less than 20). Reflex save [roll0]

[kentma57]

You smash one and dodge the other...

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

"Good aim, Svarg... Now let's see how well I do through this hall..." Rorrik dashes through the air and the hall.

[kentma57]

Wow.. make 30 reflex saves...

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

((You're...joking, right?))

Well, if you're not......

[The Glyphstone]

Viktor shakes his head slightly.
"Ooh, this is going to leave a mess..."

[Toliudar]

Ursayk

Glancing sidelong at Viktor, Ursayk mutters.

Let me guess. You have the technology. You can rebuild him. Better. Stronger. Faster.

Kentma, to get a better sense of this trap: do the blades fly out of the wall and stick in the opposite wall, or do they fly out and retract again?

[The Glyphstone]

Viktor

Ursayk must have spoken louder than she intended, as one of Viktor's bulging eyes swivels to look at her. However, he doesn't appear to have noticed her sarcasm.

"No, even Viktor probably won't be able to fix this...but at least there will be plenty of leftovers for other projects!

[kentma57]

Well Krimm_Blackleaf make 16 Fort saves and 16 Will saves...

As Ursayk studies the traps, he/she(sorry, I forgot) notices that the baldes seem to stop a fraction of an inch from the wall (to prevent damage) and they stay there. (non of them have show any signs of retracting)

The party looks on as Rorrik runs down the rall (while floating on air), he manages to dode aboult half of the blades that come flying out at him. As he reaches the other side of the hall, he turns around with a smile on his face the colapses.

Spoiler to Krimm_Blackleaf ONLY
Take -6 to all ability scores, -4 penalty on attack rolls, saves, ability checks, and skill checks, and each turn, have a a 50% chance to act normally; otherwise, you takes no actions.

You are also paralized, nasiated, and blind...
ps: I am realy, realy, realy sorry...

pps: at least the rest of you can pass safely...

[Ellas Aramond]

Deneb sees the sheer number of blades that had flown out of the wall, and gawks. He had seen plenty of deadly traps in his time, but this was just overkill.

Something tells me that we should get out of here. He says without his normal grin, showing the party that he is undeniably spooked. Now.

[Toliudar]

Ursayk

The dwarf is appalled at the sheer carnage in front of her. She knew that Rorrik was fast - to see him weave in and out of so many blades was both inspiring - and awful.

Not wishing to expose herself to anything like that risk, Ursayk summons a hippogriff. She instructs it to go pick up the dragon-man and carry him through forward.

Casting Summon Nature's Ally 2. With Augment Summoning, the hippogriff has a strength of 22, which should be more than enough to carry Rorrik.

[The_Snark]

Svargithurik

With a guttural snarl, Svarg lashes out at the nearest blade, snapping it in two. "You idiot!" He starts advancing forward slowly, smashing each blade as he comes to it. "What possessed you to rush in there like that? Next time I'll grab you by the tail if you try to pull a stunt like that! If you're dead, I'll... kill you myself!" The drake's fury seems to stem mostly from worry, rather than actual anger.

If the blades retract, Svarg will stop, but if not he continues and destroys them on the way to Rorrik. This trap isn't resetting if he can help it...

[kentma57]

Ursayk's hippogriff carries Rorrik back and Svargithurik you see no sign of the blades retracting.

Cough, does anyone remember the tablet?

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

((I might be mad were I not so amused.))

[kentma57]

Sorry I forgot one thing Rorrik,
Take [roll0] damage

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

((Uh guys? Little help?))

[The_Snark]

Svargithurik

Svarg pauses in his assault on the blades in order to demand, "Well? How is he?"

[Ellas Aramond]

Someone might want to check that tablet again. Who ever's controlling this place needs to die. Deneb says right before he Shadow Blinks over to Rorrik to check his pulse. He's still alive, at least that's something.

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Rorrik lies there pretty much looking like a bloody cadaver.

[The Glyphstone]

"He's not dead yet?

Viktor sounds slightly disappointed.

[kentma57]

The tablet now reads "I can't belive he did that..."

[Toliudar]

Ursayk

Please note that the hippogriff carried Rorrik through to the FAR side of the passage, not back to our side.

Once it becomes clear that Rorrik and the hippogriff have not set off any more blades, Ursayk and the bear lope down, squeezing past Svarg's slightly more straightforward removal of the trap.

Good idea. If it's completely smashed, it can't just reset again.

Examining Rorrik, she is relieved to see that he is distressed but still alive. She reaches forward to touch him, she releases his own bodies phenomenal ability to heal itself.

Krimm, that's all pretty much fluff. She's casting Heal on Rorrik. Kentma, my understanding is that that will cure the damage, the ability score damage, the nausea, and the blinding. I guess we'll need a ruling for you about the more unusual effects (unnamed penalties to saves, attacks, 50% inability to act).

Glancing up, Ursayk points to the hippogriff, instructing it to stand guard at the next corner of the tunnel to come.

[kentma57]

He seems to be much better...

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Rorrik slowly gets up holding his head and dizzily comes to realize what just happened... then just starts laughing. "Bet no one else had the bollucks to do that!"
He gets to his feet still laughing and he rests his sword on his shoulder. "I sure hope you blokes realize you owe me one!"

[Toliudar]

Ursayk

Ursayk bites back a quick retort. She pauses a moment before joining in Rorrik's laughter.

I guess. I could probably say the same to you, though...

[The_Snark]

Svargithurik

Svarg chuckles as well. "You've got guts, I'll give you that much. Don't try it again, though, or you might lose them!" Another of the blades is shorn neatly in two by the drake's claws.

[Ellas Aramond]

Deneb rolls his eyes, but lets a grin appear on his face, pushing the thoughts of impending doom in the tunnel to the back of his mind.
"Have no fear, my friend, my debt will be paid. Hopefully later then sooner, though."

[kentma57]

You notice the broken stumps that are the first set of blades slowly retract... (You think they will be fully in the wall again in about two rounds.)

evil laugh...

[Toliudar]

Ursayk

Ah, the busy-busy minds that think up machines.

The dwarf looks back at the retracting blades, and sighs.

Svarg, mind joining me a bit in helping wreck this thing once and for all?

She leans forward to whisper to the bear, and in a flash, both of them have transformed into creatures that seem to combine the worst attributes of a slug and an umber hulk - Delvers. They begin eating into the wall that the blades have flown out from, intent on wrecking the entire area behind.

Both are changing into Delver, remaining side by side. Basically, their goal is to eat into the passage beyond where the blades are, then (with Ursayk taking the lead), dissolve the stone and metal beyond to a depth of 10'. More, if the machinery/whatever beyond is bigger. They will stop if anything damages either of them as they work, but since they're not actually entering the trapped section of the corridor, Ursayk is hoping not to have to deal with that.

Each round, each of them can do two touch attacks that each deal 8d10 acid damage to stone, or 4d8 damage to metal, plus 2d6 additional damage for the next two rounds.

Kentma, you'll have to let me know how/if you want this rolled for. Basically, they're

[kentma57]

You find yourself unable to damage the walls...

[The_Snark]

Svargithurik

Noting the retracting blades, Svarg quickly savages the remaining blades before him.

How many of the traps can Svarg destroy before they all retract? He can take out two blades a round without problems, meaning that if it's been a minute and a half he could have already taken out all of them. In the time before they all retract, he can probably get another six or so. Once the last sets retract, he'll get himself out of there.

[kentma57]

You think you can smash most of them..

OOC: this is more to just get the party moving...

[The_Snark]

Svarg will smash them until all the blades are either a) smashed or b) retracted into the wall. I'll assume that happens, since it's not significant until we decide to come back this way.

Svargithurik

"Not at all," he replies to Ursayk pleasantly as he carves through the last of the blades as it tries to retract. "As much as I'd enjoy making sure this never worked again, perhaps we should be moving out? It will take time, and we can always take care of the mechanisms when we come back here, if indeed we do at all."

"Assuming, of course, that you can still walk." The last is directed at Rorrik.

[kentma57]

OOC: by the way if you are standing on the far side of the blades(from the chest room) there is 10 ft left in the hallway then it turns left...

[Toliudar]

Ursayk

The delver-form of Ursayk burbles. Fascinating. This section of wall seems to have been treated against acid.

Experimentally, she tries to dissolve a section of the ceiling between the trap and the corner.

[kentma57]

Nothing seems to happen...

[Toliudar]

Ursayk

Fascinating.

The two delvers seem to put their heads together a moment, and both change into long, coiled purple worms. They face the side OPPOSITE from where the blades came out, ten feet beyond the last of the blades, and start burrowing into the rock.

Knowledge Nature [roll0] to try to determine how this rock has been treated.

Both are changing into Purple Worms. Before starting their burrowing, they will both briefly check in with their surroundings using Tremorsense, to see if there's anything moving around around the corner.

With a 20' burrow speed, they are trying to eat 40' into the stone.

[Ellas Aramond]

"As fascinating as watching you change your form is," Deneb finally interjects, I believe our business is complete here. So let us retrieve our payment before you bring the tunnel crashing down on us."

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

"I'll have to agree with Daneb. Let's get moving before I lose something important." Rorrik says with a slight smirk.

[kentma57]

Ursayk finds that the rock has changed, you can't seem to break through...

[Toliudar]

Ursayk

Ursayk and the bear shift back to their natural forms, and the dwarf climbs back onto the bear's shoulders.

Interesting. The stone seems to have been coated with the astonishingly rare handwavium, a substance which has whatever properties the manufacturer desires.

But, it is as you say, we should proceed. After you, gentlemen?

[The_Snark]

Svargithurik

Svarg watches the immense worms attempt to burrow into the wall with increasing suspicion, head swiveling to glare suspiciously at the tablet as Ursayk returns to her natural form. "Or somebody's playing games. That thing is watching us, you know. Hells-damned sorcery!" He digs a claw into the wall, or tries to, to see if the wall has somehow changed since he burrowed through it last.

Lots of damage, bypasses hardness as adamantine. Any visible effect?

[kentma57]

None.......

[The_Snark]

Svargithurik

Svargithurik gives the tablet a long, smouldering stare, then whips his head around towards the turn just a few feet ahead. 'Fine. Let's just get out of here. Watch the next room—there was a fire trap and a few other disconnected surprises in there, as I recall."

[kentma57]

I assume that you all enter the room?
If yes where in the group in the bear?(front, middle, back?)

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

I'll take up rear guard, seeing as I'm none too reflexive and a little trigger-wary from the last experience...

[The_Snark]

(Svarg will be in front, searching for traps. Search [roll0])

[Ellas Aramond]

I'll scout ahead, keeping about 20 feet ahead of the party, keeping an eye out for traps/secret doors. If a trap should go off on me, I'll Shadow Blink back to the party.

Search: [roll0](+2 for secret doors)
Spot: [roll1](+2 for secret doors)

[kentma57]

Nothing happens as you enter the room and nothing continues to happen intill you are about half-way aross the room... A voice echos through the room "You should have respected the dead..." And with this the Dragon hide armour the the dead thief was wearing begins to streatch and grow in a very angery looking Red Dragon...

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

((How long is it taking to grow?))

[kentma57]

It's already fuly grown (I need to look at my MM to get stats for it...)

As soon as the armour begins to shift into the form of a dragon, Ursayk and the bear also shift forms, into massive living statues of black iron, and brace themselves for the fight ahead.

Free action to shapechange into Iron Golems. Immune to mind-affecting abilities in construct form. While in this form, we'll have most of the stats of the Iron Golem (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/golem.htm#ironGolem), except for the following:
Speed: 30'
AC: 41 (Size -1, Dex -1, Natural 31, Insight +2)

[Ellas Aramond]

((OOC: So are we going to wait to see what's going on with the others, or should I just make my move?))

[The_Snark]

(If your initiative beat the dragon's, go right ahead.)

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

((Were we going to go in order or just post our actions?))

[Toliudar]

In that case, and only if Ursayk and the bear start next to the dragon...

Ursayk

The druid began quickly pounding at the dragon:

[spoiler][roll0] Attack roll, 1st attack
[roll1] Damage roll, 1st attack
[roll2] Attack roll, 2nd attack
[roll3] Damage roll, 2nd attack
[roll4] Attack roll, 3rd attack
[roll5] Damage roll, 3rd attack

[kentma57]

So we will post in order of initiative. I will try and post a map soon if you want to wait for one...

Map is up

[Toliudar]

(Thanks for the map - it helps a lot! Is the room round? Can you show/tell us where the exits are? How high is the ceiling.)

[kentma57]

(Thanks for the map - it helps a lot! Is the room round? Can you show/tell us where the exits are? How high is the ceiling.)

Right, the exits are at the top and bottom of the room, and yes it is round.

[Ellas Aramond]

Okay, it looks like I'm right next to the dragon...

I'll roll to overcome its frightful presence before I do anything else.
Will: [roll0]

[Ellas Aramond]

((Well, that roll could have been better, I'll make all my rolls with that -2 already put in.))

"A red dragon." Deneb's eyes widen as the beast finishes its growth. "Why did it have to be a gelwan red dragon!"

Recovering as best as he can, he slips into his Assassin's Stance, then moves into a flanking position with Ursayk, drawing his Umbral Awn as he goes. Once there, he attacks the dragon with a maneuver known as Death in the Dark. Then he draws upon his weapon's power of Shadowcloak to hide from the beast.

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1] Sneak Attack: [roll2]
Death in the Dark damage: [roll3] Fortitude save DC 20 reduces the extra damage to [roll4]

[Ellas Aramond]

Ack, sorry for the triple post, I forgot a roll.

Hide: [roll0]

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Rorrik flies toward the dragon with a taste for blood in his eyes. To sink his blade into what may have been his very kin in another life, but surely any beast found in the bottom of a dungeon such as this can't simply be trusted.
"You've met the spawn of the red dragon Kannu'Xuat! I am Rorrik, and you shall feel my blade!"
Rorrik swings his curved blade at the dragon four times, attempting to hit the creature with the perfect point in the blade for maximized damage as well as a high tension of his muscles to strike deep.
First using a swift action to move into the Punishing Stance, adding 1d6 damage to each attack, but with a -2 to AC. Then using a full attack action using a power attack, -3 to my attack rolls and +6 to damage.
Attack 1: [roll0]
Damage:[roll1] [roll2]

Attack 2: [roll3]
Damage:[roll4] [roll5]

Attack 3: [roll6]
Damage:[roll7] [roll8]

Attack 4: [roll9]
Damage:[roll10] [roll11]
No added fire damage, since I know red dragons are immune to fire damage.

[Toliudar]

(Because Ursayk would prefer not to be separated from the bear, she will delay her action until she can go at the same time as him. Which probably invalidates her action, since the circumstances will have changed depending on what the dragon does. Sorry.)

[The_Snark]

I think Svarg is immune to the frightful presence of dragons, but since he's not technically of the dragon type, I may be wrong. He does have his own frightful presence ability, though. Will save if needed: [roll0]

The dragon goes before Svarg, so I'll wait for its action.

[kentma57]

I have to go to school but when I get home(after work) I will post the dragons actions...

[kentma57]

The dragon stares down at Rorrik, ignoring the terrified Deneb, it attacks...

Bite: [roll0]
damage [roll1]

claw 1: [roll2]
damage [roll3]-6

claw 2: [roll4]
damage [roll5]-6

wing 1: [roll6]
damage [roll7]-6

wing 2: [roll8]
damage [roll9]-6

tail 1: [roll10]
damage [roll11]-6

totla damage: 121

Yay CR 20 Dragons...

EDIT: I am not quite sure but, I can't find the rules for secondary attacks. If you think this is wrong please tell me, I can take criticism...

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

((Yeah, I'm dead. Don't take my stuff.))

[Toliudar]

Ellas and Svarg will both have an opportunity to act before Ursayk and the bear do, so go ahead and post. Unless Glyphstone reappears, it seems that she'll be batting clean-up.

[The_Snark]

It's mostly right—the dragon's secondary claw and wing attacks should be getting only half the Strength bonus on damage, which is usual on secondary attacks. The tail, however, is special, and gets one and a half times the Strength bonus. New damage total should be 121, assuming that all the dragon's damage bonus was from Strength.

Maybe that helps.

Svargithurik

Svargithurik bellows a challenge, and smoking red and black flames billow upwards from his mouth at the much larger dragon. The red might not mind most heat, but these were the flames of the Abyss.

Taking to the air, Svarg lashes out with tail and long neck at the same time, barbs and fangs catching cruelly at the dragon's hard scales, and his two claws slash at the dragon as well, digging into it.

Note- Svarg is currently Large-sized, and nonhumanoid.

First, Svarg rages, bringing his Str to 44, his Con to 35, and his AC to 37.

Quickened breath weapon, aimed upwards so as not to hit companions: [roll0] damage, half of which is fire (and thus ignored) and half of which is unholy. Reflex DC 27 halves the damage again.

Svarg moves up and towards the dragon 5 feet, and full attacks, using Power Attack at -2/+2 (plus another 2 from Armbands of Might).

Sting- [roll1], damage [roll2]; DC 29 Fortitude save or take 2d6 Con damage from poison.

Bite- [roll3], damage [roll4]

Claw 1- [roll5], damage [roll6]

Claw 2- [roll7], damage [roll8]

If the last claw hits, Svarg tries to bull rush the dragon 5 feet back- opposed bull rush check: [roll9]

If both claw attacks hit, the dragon takes rending damage: [roll10]

[The_Snark]

Forgot to note that all Svarg's natural attacks overcome damage reduction as if they were magic and adamantine.

Confirming critical on that bite attack: [roll0]

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

((If it's only 121 that means I have 3 hp left! :smallbiggrin:))

Rorrik looks battered and beaten, but still not out just yet. He seems to cling to life with zeal, but seems apprehensive to stay so close to the beast that almost killed him.

[The Glyphstone]

(Sure, I pick one day to stop hovering over the boards for my exams, and NOW we get a fight...:smallcool: I suppose Viktor was still in the outside room. He goes last. Sheet: http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheets/view.php?id=30734))

Vikotr apparently got distracted scooping up the leftovers of Rorrik's misadventure, because only now does he come skittering through the door, spidery legs skidding to a halt at the sight of the dragon.

"Ooh, dragon...Viktor likes dragons, so many useful things to get from them!"

Clicking forward on the stone floor, he aims one extra-long finger at the dragon and sends a pulsing, blood-red ray straight into the creature's chest, followed up by a glowing ball of force energy.

(OOC: Opening with a Spell Enhancer as swift action, giving me +2 CL and +1 DC to my next spell. Using Greater Arcane Fusion to chain-cast Avasculate and Orb of Force. Avasculate deals 1/2 the dragon's HP automatically with no save (hit touch AC28 versus its 6, rolled a 28 on SR versus its 24), and forces a DC 26 Fortitude save or be Stunned for one round. Next, the Orb of Force deals it an additional 41 damage with no save and no SR, hitting touch AC 18.)
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1472516/
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1472517/ +2 = 28

[kentma57]

Wow give me some time to count up the damage against the dragon's HP...

EDIT: if you are wondering I have nothing against Rorrik; he just ran down the traped corridor, then he was the first one to attack the dragon...

EDIT 2: and I will asume Vikotr was in the room the entire time (yes I have my reasons)

In the words of the Black Knight "It's only a flesh wound"

((OOC: And thus, the obligatory Monty Python quotes begin. Very good, my friend. Very good.))

[Toliudar]

Ursayk

Charging forward as one, Ursayk and the bear, both now iron golems, charge the dragon. Ursayk's goal is to end up close enough to the dragon (within 10') to slam a fist into it, but also as close as possible to Rorrik so that she has a chance to help him on her next action.

I'm starting to realize how UN optimized this character is. Ah well. She's fun. :smallbiggrin:

Both have slam attacks from 10' out that penetrate DR / Magic and DR / Adamantium

Bear's charging attack:
[roll0] Attack
[roll1] Damage

Ursayk's charging attack:
[roll2] Attack
[roll3] Damage

If either is damaged by an attack of opportunity, they will use a free action at the end of their turn to change into...a different iron golem.

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

((I'll just post my action for the second round, as I believe it's appropriate.))

Rorrik, now likely more awaken than previously, though inches from being utterly unconscious, decides it's probably unwise to stay close to the dragon for long. He quickly and nimbly dodges and moves as to avoid the dragon's further onslaught. "Nng! I won't be treated like that by someone unworthy of licking Kannu'xuat's hind-claws!"
When out of reach, He begins moving his hand and speaking the words of a spell. He then fires a pale green beam of light from his finger at the dragon.
Tumble: [roll0]
Touch attack for Disintegrate: [roll1]
If it has SR: [roll2]
Requires a Fort save on the part of the dragon(DC 34)
If save passes: [roll3]
If save fails: [roll4]

[kentma57]

I am going to pause the game untile the end of my exams... (if you can't tell I have been busy)

[Toliudar]

Twitch. Twitch.

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Second. Also, filler.

[The Glyphstone]

*Eyes body of game for potential spare parts*

[Toliudar]

*Slaps Viktor's hand.*

[Ellas Aramond]

*Stares blankly, then eats a random brain*

[Toliudar]

*Puts thread out of its misery*

Yay I realy don't have time to DM any more if you want to find a new DM you can, but I'm to busy to DM this game... (plus I realy did not plan far enough ahead. I am not very good at DMing, I am better at style/theme.)
