DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7

[DrK]

So currently in this round....
1/ Merrick has been stabilised by the elemental and partially healed
2/ Zarina has unleashed flaming fury engulfing the beetle and spellweaver and then her full attack has killed the beetle

Elkist, Mirriana and Lan (all sorely injured) are ready to go
Elkist alive only thanks to the imbued Close Wounds

The Beetle is dead, the hammer wielding Kyuss knight is clearly near death and the spellweaver has burned through many, many spells.....
If we can push the next couple of rounds we could finish this Chapter in 2020! Ready for the next Chapter in 2021

Mirriana

With my allies all badly singed by the Spellweaver's attacks, I pray to Mystara and set about healing their wounds.

Close Wounds, casting defensively - DC15+lvl2 = auto-pass. (19 skill ranks = 20 min).

Rolling the Mass Cure Light Wounds properly:
(1d8+13)[16]

The manoeuvres available were Shield Block, Defensive Rebuke, and Douse The Flames.

Edit: Well, my previous post was also in the wrong thread.

[DrK]

Will saves (2d20)[5][18](23)

EDIT: And with that only the spellweaver remains alive to face the wrath of Lan and Elkist

[RCgothic]

If that drops the Kyuss Knight I'll also move up to threaten the spellweaver.

I nearly forgot Mass Cure Light Wounds can be used offensively.

And from her celestial throne, Mystara laughs

[redzimmer]

Diplomacy (1d20+6)[11] well I tried.

[redzimmer]

Knowledge Religion (1d20+6)[17] Is this thing a lich? If so...

[Ghostfoot]

Will saves [roll0]

EDIT: And with that only the spellweaver remains alive to face the wrath of Lan and Elkist

Things have been a little hectic in the run up to Christmas/ holidays, but I think I'm through it now. Aiming to update tomorrow.

The Maze is turned back on the Spell Weaver. It's level 8 and I have protection from 9 levels.

Reflex Vs the fireball: (1d20+17)[22] edit: FFS.

Strictly though if the spellweaver is banished to a maze the fireball won't go off until it extricates itself, which it can't do immediately.

Ah, the humiliation!! I'll update/edit the IC

[Ghostfoot]

Hilarious!

[RCgothic]

I'm nearly out of tricks. My spells are extremely low. But I think I have one more left.

Merrick knows what Maze is automatically (dc23) and Mirriana and Zarina are close, so I'm going to assume we know what that spell was and how to react appropriately.

Oh, by the way I think Repulsion is gone for now.

[RCgothic]

Healing for Elkist, and no spells with verbal components. Which is most of them. We still have swords and armour.

[redzimmer]

So no black tentacles or sticky floor then.

[RCgothic]

I think we'll be too in close for those. Your Spellcasting from outside the zone of silence should be unaffected though. What else have you got left? Buffs? Debuffs?

Summon Monster (Pseudonatural) 1-7 /5 rounds, displacement, magic missile, gust of wind, teleport and halt undead

[RCgothic]

I'd give Zarina or Elkist Displacement, ready a magic missile for when he reappears, then follow up with a pseudonatural summons.

After giving the displacement back up or of fireball range!

[Starbin]

So I'll admit ... I've been more than a little off my rocker with gaming. So I'm here and want to post. I seem to have delayed for two ... three rounds? I'm not sure about the status of stuff, but given the close wounds that we can do on ourselves, i figure as an immediate, Lan would have done that. self heal - (1d4+13)[17]

Since I've lost those attacks, I guess I'll do something that would be logical for my absence and have little to no combat effect until this next turn.

Bottom line - I'm sorry for flaking out and I'm back!

No worries, always welcome to get back into the swing of things!

[Ghostfoot]

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope that you & yours stay safe & well this festive season.



It's a Lego & boardgame feeding frenzy here at Chez Ghostfoot this morning.

Holiday time here for me now, so lots of time for gaming for next 2-3 weeks .

Elkist's actions, if I don't get to IC post in next few hours:

Round 1) Mass Lesser Vigor
Round 2) Impeding Stones on anticipated landing spot

-> Silence kicks in

3+) Wait....

[RCgothic]

Manoeuvres reset: (9d5)[20]

And Merry Christmas everyone for tomorrow, or Happy Holidays as applicable.

[RCgothic]

Urgh. (9d5)[4][4][4][4][2][2][4][3][1](28)

Extra letters. Foehammer, Defensive Rebuke, Douse The Flames

[Stegyre]

Merry Christmas, everyone!

And if not, Taliesn will build a funeral pyre for you or something. 🤷*♂️

[RCgothic]

Hate to jynx it, but I'm feeling pretty confident.

The breather has allowed us to recover. We're set up for close combat, our enemy is a Spellcaster, and we've got and our anti-spell defences are high. Most spells have verbal components, including dispel magic, and we haven't had any indication the lich has silent spell as a feat.

I suppose it's possible it can get out of the maze with Plane Shift, in which case it won't necessarily come back right on us. In fact in that case it's unlikely to be anywhere near us. Didn't it say it couldn't leave here? What have we done that might change that? A powerful Spellcaster has things like teleport available, so I must be missing something.

We maybe need to guard against it coming back from another angle.

Oh no, I'm feeling less confident.

[redzimmer]

At least I still have the Perfect Summons active, so no extraplanar help.

Oh wait, does that mean my Pseudonatural becomes a celestial giant Cenitpede? DrK?

[DrK]

Happy Holidays and the 7th Christmas for the Age of Worms game!!

Book 7 will soon be over then onto the final third of the adventure!! Thanks all for staying with the game.

- Yes, it'll be shiny and gold!

mirror image (1d9)[9] 1 hits the weaver

[RCgothic]

Greater Mirror image, Huh?

Merrick, a magic missile at multiple images is the optimal solution here. Mirriana will slash at different images as well, it's not like she hits particularly hard. The goal is to open him up to the attacks of our heavy hitters.
