ToS Exhibition match

[Talic]

This is the thread for the exhibition. How much buffage do you want?

[JeminiZero]

5 Rounds should do fine. That should give Alita the time to throw on everything she needs. Forest or Cave map?

Initiative: (1d20-6)[-3]

[Talic]

Forest.

All Day + 5 Rounds.

Buffs:

All Day:

Extended Energy Immunity (Fire)
Extended Energy Immunity (Acid)

Favor of the Martyr (DMM Persist)
Bite of the Werebear (DMM Persist)

5 Rounds:
1) True Seeing, Drop Gear

Last round swift: Extended Trollshape, Pick up Bag.

EDIT: I can't lose initiative. If I roll a 1, I get a -2.

[JeminiZero]

OK then, Alita will start in the Blue zone on the left, while you get the red zone on the right. You can go first, while I try to rustle together her bits and pieces.

[Talic]

Fair Nuff.

I would request those planning on Fighting Alita next to not look in my Observers only spoilers.

*Ley Lines: I assume Alita channels Geomancer Ley Lines while buffing in either forests or the Mountains.
*With the Ruby Skull of Wee Jas, all necromancy and Death Domain spells gain another +1 to caster level.
*Magic Aura lasts Days/Level. 1 casting can last 27 days. So 1 casting per day can cover 27 items sustainably. More than enough to cover all her magic items.

[JeminiZero]

Sorry about the delay, that took longer than I thought.

Alita

Move Action: Alita flaps her wings and takes to the sky moving to M10.

What does she see in the red zone? (Vision Modes: Normal, True Seeing)

I'll tell you what my standard action is when I've seen you. For now you see a petite but well-built human girl, with short black hair, in body hugging leather armour. Sprouting from her back are a pair of bizarre metal feather wings. Sort of like this:



She also holds a gnarled, crudely crafted wooden staff in her hands.

And yes, I copied and pasted that from the previous fight. Make a spot check vs DC 20.

[Talic]

Spot: (1d20+4)[9]

You see a large, green-skinned Troll. It's shapeshifted. The true form is a Human. There's an Adamantine Greatsword on the ground, and he's standing there, supremely unconcerned about the flying thing.

Sensory Modes: (Normal, Darkvision 90, True Seeing, Blindsight 30, Low-Light, Scent)

[JeminiZero]

You spot nothing unusual about the Human girl. (Spot Check was against purely mundane source so True Seeing Doesn't help)

Lets see if Alita can make this check first:

Knowledge Nature Check to know about Trolls: (1d20+22)[24]

And in case you are wondering, Knowledge Nature just happens to be the class skill of her very wonky PrC.

Edit: What a terrible roll. The dice are conspiring against me I tell you. Anyway Talic, what does the Knowledge check tell her?

[Talic]

A Knowledge of 24 is a success, per knowledge rules on p. 78 of the PHb.

A bit of useful information:
Trolls are possessed of Darkvision more sensitive than a dwarf (90 feet), can see in dim light as well as an elf (Low-light vision), and have a nose as keen as a hound's (Scent).

Beat by 5: Trolls have Regeneration, healing most wounds in short order, unless made by fire or acid. Because of this, trolls generally have strong fear of fire.

Beat by 10: Trolls are savage fighters, wading into melee with reckless abandon. They're more observant than their wisdom would normally indicate (Alertness), More resistant than the average giant to effects which attack the mind (Iron Will), and, when foes flee before their savage blows, have been known to track their victims for days, driving them to exhaustion before killing and feeding upon them.

[JeminiZero]

Alita

Alita stares at the Troll, her mind racing.

Code Accepted-Operation Total Shut Down approved

Alita casts Wall of Stone to try and contain the brute.

Standard Action: Cast Wall Of Stone-Calculations

With a caster level of 15, Alita can create a wall with up to 15x5 foot squares = 75 foot squares, and each section being 3 inches thick. She can shape the wall however she wants. She will place the wall in 10 sections, effectively enclosing the area from X9 to Z12. Each Section will be 7.5 foot high, and 3 inches thick (Hardness 8, 45 HP, Strength DC 26 to break).

There might or might not be a DC 19 reflex save to get out.

Your Turn.

Wall of stone:

Spoiler

Show

It is possible, but difficult, to trap mobile
opponents within or under a wall of
stone, provided the wall is shaped so it can
hold the creatures. Creatures can avoid
entrapment with successful Reflex saves.

Reflex Save: (1d20+11)[29]

EDIT: I'm standing outside of it.

[JeminiZero]

Curses! Who knew a Troll could move so fast. Well, its your turn now.

[Talic]

The troll/man slowly bends down, keeping his eye on you the entire time, and grasps the adamantine sword on the ground. He then draws himself to his full height (most uncharacteristic of a troll), and continues to look, expectantly waiting... but for what?

OOC/Observers only:

Spoiler

Show

Move: Pick up weapon.
standard: Ready an action, move if my opponent attempts to cast again.

It growls, "What you waiting for, twig? Hit me!"
It then repeats the phrase, in celestial, draconic, and infernal... Just in case you're of a more planar bent.

You are up, sir.

[JeminiZero]

Where are you after the reflex save exactly? Or rather where are you now?

Edit: Also, might the Sword get left behind inside the wall of stone? It was on the ground next to you. And now all that ground is inside the Wall, while you are outside of it.

[Talic]

Reflex saves don't move you. The easiest explanation I can think of would be a method similar to wall of ice, where blocking it as it forms can leave a slight hole. (With wall of ice, the whole spell fails)

And TBH, his offense doesn't go down if he loses his sword. Claws, bites, rend... He's got a wide array of weaponless options.

Also note: That's an 11 foot long oversized claymore. It lies in multiple squares.

[JeminiZero]

OK, for the sake of simplicity, can we just say that he is somewhere outside the wall with the sword? I don't want to have to try and figure out whether the wall might or might not have holes big enough to let a troll through.

[Talic]

OK, for the sake of simplicity, can we just say that he is somewhere outside the wall with the sword? I don't want to have to try and figure out whether the wall might or might not have holes big enough to let a troll through.

Sure. How about atop the wall?

[JeminiZero]

Sure. How about atop the wall?

Well... The wall is 3 inches thick. Your troll is large. The two don't seem to be very compatible.

[Talic]

Would it help if I said I was under the effects of an Overland Flight effect?

[JeminiZero]

Would it help if I said I was under the effects of an Overland Flight effect?

I might argue that in that case you don't get a reflex save to prevent entrapment, since the wall (which doesn't have a roof) won't entrap your flight capable troll to start with.

But thats being nitpicky. We'll go with the wall being intact, and your troll reflex puts it outside the wall. So where on the wall is your troll?

[Talic]

It's not domed? Oh, then this is simple.

1) I made a reflex, so I can't be entrapped by the wall.
2) If I stay right where I'm at, I'm not entrapped by the wall.

Easiest solution, I don't move at all. Your "nitpicky" answer is the perfect solution. I wholeheartedly approve.

I'm inside the wall, and not trapped, as my shoulders and head are higher than the wall.

[JeminiZero]

Alita

"I guess now is the time." She casts a spell which you (with a DC 21 spellcraft check) identify as:

Spoiler

Show

Antimagic Field

With that done, she flies until she is next to her foe (probably Y10 or Y11) provoking AoO in the process. However, as soon as she is within 10 feet of you, you feel the power drain out from your form (all magical effects supressed).

Edit: Your Turn.

Observers Only:

Spoiler

Show

Standard action: Cast AMF from Spellstaff. Apply Extraordinary Spell Aim to it. Spellcraft DC check is 31 to shape to exclude one target- in this case Alita herself. Alita will use Divine Insight (cast but not discharged yet) for this shaping check, so she automatically makes it.

The spellcasting triggers the ready action, and he Leaps up! (ready action to move if my opponent casts)

(1d20+22)[31] and continues out of the Wall, 30 feet South (elevation +10)

2nd: Your method of Flight... Is it in any way magical?

[JeminiZero]

2nd: Your method of Flight... Is it in any way magical?

Those metal wings in her description? Yeah, they are actually functional. And they are not magical. So yes, Alita can fly while in an AMF. Where did your troll land, Alita is trying to move towards him.

Edit: Did you end in Y16/Z17?

[Talic]

30 feet south of the red start zone. I am away from maps right now (at work).

So, take the red start zone, go down 6 squares, and that's where I'm at.

[JeminiZero]

I think that is Y16/Z17, but my eyes could be off. Alita flies and lands on U16

Your Turn.

[Talic]

Drop Sword.
Dismiss Trollshape.
Activate Belt of battle (3 charges) - An additional full round's worth of actions.
Cast Wall of stone, encircling my square, and doming it, on the top and bottom. 3 inches thick.

Remainder of turn:

Spoiler

Show

Draw lyre of building.
Play: Perform (1d20+19)[32] DC 20.
If successful, wall is impervious to harm.

Best of all, wall blocks line of effect between the AMF and the lyre, so the very object the lyre makes invincible (the lyre does have line of effect to the wall) prevents the AMF from draining the lyre.

Actually, I'll do something else. I'd rather not disengage entirely.

Fly 40 feet up (double move, as movement up costs double), Dimension door another 920 feet. Currently at elevation 970.

Go Ahead.
