Test of Spite Olo vs Claudius the second

[Olo Demonsbane]

Beguiler war!

Buff Rounds: How about 5? I could do more.

Map: Do you want collums, plain, the river, or one you can provide?

[Claudius Maximus]

I could do 5 buff rounds. Are all days up?

As for the map, any of those options are good, though I'd prefer not to have a blank map. I never did get around to finding a new map, so it looks like we're using the columns or the river.

[Olo Demonsbane]

Allright, 5 round + All Day:

[Claudius Maximus]

I'm in J2. I have 24 INT and I am of the Humanoid type.

Looks like I go first. Where are you?

[Olo Demonsbane]

F10, I am of the humanoid type, and I have 26 Intellegence.

[Claudius Maximus]

I move to H5.
Hide ans MS (OO):

Spoiler

Show

Hide: (1d20+39)[13](52)
MS: (1d20+22)[15](37) However, Zone of Silence means that I automatically succeed.

Since you're ~30 feet away, you have a -3 penalty to your spot and listen checks.

My Arcane Sight tries to pick up your auras. CL check: (1d20+12)[20](32).

I can't find you with listen or spot, but do I detect anything from your square?

Edit: Ooh, I'm a Barbarian now.

[Olo Demonsbane]

Spot (1d20+12)[19]
Listen (1d20+1)[13]

Ok, you see lots of auras on me...do I have to go through my magic items, or just my buffs?

[Claudius Maximus]

Magic items, too. I know that this is very tedious, so I'm sorry about that. I have +21 on spellcraft, so I beat all DCs under 23 automatically.

Actually, this raises the question of whether I can see you now. I'm inclined to say no, since I never beat your hide, but I'm not entirely sure.

Further actions will be influenced by your auras. You do not see or hear me, though you know I'm in H5.

[Olo Demonsbane]

Ok then:

Buffs: 3 faint divination, 4 Faint Abjuration, 2 Moderate Abjurations, Faint Enchantment, Moderate Necromancy
Items: 5 strong Transmutations, 2 Moderate Transmutations

I forgot to mention: I have Detect Evil, Detect Chaos, and Detect Thoughts (DC 11) running, and you are in the area now. How do you register?

EDIT: Sorry for the wait.

[Claudius Maximus]

It's nothing compared to the wait I just hit you with.

I think you need to take a standard action to glean any information from those spells, unless they're permanent.

If I'm wrong and/or they're permanent, you have to make 2 caster level checks for each spell. The DCs are 29 and I'm not sure about the other one, but it's at least 27. That's actually not right. the DC is somewhere between 23 and 25.

Regardless, I'm going to hit you with a spell. You don't detect any components, but when it goes off, there's no doubt that it's Glitterdust. The save DC is 20.

Observers only:

Spoiler

Show

Still Glitterdust. Zone of Silence prevents him from hearing anything I say, so he does not detect the casting unless he's got a Ring of Spell-Battle. Since the spell is stilled, it does not compromise my hide check.

[Olo Demonsbane]

Will Save (1d20+21)[23]

It takes a standard action, IIRC, and none of them are permanent.

[Claudius Maximus]

Well, you have -40 to hide, which makes your hide check 0. Distance makes it 3.

Spot: (1d20+2)[11](13)

What do I see?

[Olo Demonsbane]

You see a young halfling girl with golden hair and blue eyes. She appears to be wearing armor under her simple dress, and she holds a dagger in each hand. Curiously, she seems to be under a constant shadow, no matter where she moves.

[Claudius Maximus]

Halfling, you say? And it sounds like you're a Dark creature. We may have the same race and template.

Anyway, I hit her with another spell. I don't think you can detect it IC, but you kind of have to know that it's Spell Theft. I'll need a list of buffs.

OO:

Spoiler

Belt of Battle for a standard action, then cast Still Spell theft.

[Olo Demonsbane]

How are you casting two spells per turn? Spontaneous casters cant use quicken...

You still didnt tell me how you register under Detect Chaos and Detect Evil...

Yay for Dark Strongheart Halflings!

Buffs:

Spoiler

Show

Detect Evil
Detect Chaos
Detect Thoughts
Conviction
Superior Resistance
Beastland Ferocity
Sheltered Vitality
Shield of Faith
Barkskin
Shield of Warding
Delay Death

[Claudius Maximus]

You would have to make those caster level checks to detect me with those spells, but I'll tell you right now that I don't register as either. As for the 2 spells thing: there's methods like Rapid Metamagic and Accelerated Metamagic, and there's always the Belt of Battle.

I'm thoroughly surprised at those buffs. How did you get ~11th level cleric casting on a beguiler at ECL 13? I can't think of a way to get MT or Rainbow Servant to give you higher than 4th level spells.

At any rate, I'll try to take them all. Glitterdust is supposed to be on that list, but I'll leave that one for you.

Detect Evil: (1d20+14)[13](27)
Detect Chaos: (1d20+14)[19](33)
Detect Thoughts: (1d20+14)[2](16)
Conviction: (1d20+14)[19](33)
Superior Resistance: (1d20+14)[18](32)
Beastland Ferocity: (1d20+14)[12](26)
Sheltered Vitality: (1d20+14)[12](26)
Shield of Faith: (1d20+14)[12](26)
Barkskin: (1d20+14)[15](29)
Shield of Warding: I think this is on your shield, and I'm targeting you. Just in case I can steal it: (1d20+14)[14](28)
Delay Death: (1d20+14)[14](28)

[Olo Demonsbane]

So...you took every single spell besides my DC 11 Detect thoughts and Shield of Warding. GREAT...

Oh, and you actually have to roll for glitterdust.

EDIT: I still have 17,000gp that I forgot to spend. I get to buy a belt of battle!

[Claudius Maximus]

Woah, my saves must be through the roof now. I don't think I have to roll for Glitterdust though:

Upon casting this spell, you instantly discern all spells currently affecting the target (including their effects). For each spell so discerned, you can make a dispel check...

Emphasis mine. I think I have a choice.

[Olo Demonsbane]

Ok, thats fine.

Can I hit you with a touch spell, even though I can only detect which square you are in? How about a targeted spell?

EDIT: Huh, yeah, id bet. My character's specialty was being near impossible to kill...she still has decent AC, even after you stipped all her buffs away.

[Claudius Maximus]

Targeted spells are out, since I have total concealment. Attack rolls, including touch attacks, have a 50% miss chance, though you know which square to attack. I'm ending my turn. You'll have to tell me when any of these spells expire, too.

The halfling's hands start glowing red, and then she leaps forward at you.

Touch attack (1d20+5)[23]
Miss Chance (1d2)[2], 2 misses

Miss.

[Claudius Maximus]

Is it my turn?

[Olo Demonsbane]

Yeah, sorry.

[Claudius Maximus]

I tumble away from you to E3. I automatically succeed on my tumble check.

Hide: (1d20+39)[1](40) If you can't see invisible creatures, add another 20 to that.
MS: (1d20+22)[4](26)
Edit: Well, those rolls suck.

I then cast a spell on you. You detect no verbal or somatic components. Make a Will save with a -4 penalty if you can cast arcane spells. The DC to beat is 30.

Edit: The DC increases by 1 to 31 if you don't detect me.

Still Feeblemind, spin 4.

[Olo Demonsbane]

Feeblemind...damn...heh, acutally, last time I was targeted by a spell theft (my own spell rebounding) I was then targeted by Feeblemind the next turn...god I hate that spell.

And now I have almost no chance to succeed becuase I dont have my buffs... (1d20+7)[19]

EDIT: Feebleminded...my turn?

[Claudius Maximus]

Go ahead. Remember that you're as smart as a lizard now.

Edit: I kind of forgot to mention this, but I'm actually 10 feet up in E3. I tumbled up the wall.

[Olo Demonsbane]

My smart-as-a-lizard halfling:

Hurty Hands. Bad Guy.

The halfling charges you with her touch spell still held.

(1d20+7)[16]
Miss chance (1d2)[2], 2 misses

ARGH. Your turn.
