OOC Alhallor's mana secret 2

[Alhallor]

OK so we have Ken make preparatory castings, Jahn softly singing and Larimar on a tree. (You should be able to edit the map accordingly.)

Toliudar and Ridai any preparations from you?

[WindStruck]

I think since the intent is to clearly kill this thing, Larimar will be switching to his other bow.

We can say he's imbibed the nasty brew now, and also starts off by casting mirror image just in case.

We're all still in range of each other for the juicy buffs, right?

And.. we get the first attack? How does initiative look after?

[Alhallor]

You should still be in range for the juice even with some climbing. You'll see what happens and who has initiative when I post tomorrow.

[Ridai]

Having a slow week, being a bit under the weather, so posting might be a bit slow.

[Alhallor]

I really hope this is still okay. Sorry if it seems somehow unfair.

@Ridai: No worries, I have some things going on myself and has wrestled anyway with the post.

[WindStruck]

reflex: (1d20+21)[29]

[WindStruck]

...I knew I missed this. I swear I read it and couldn't find it.

Everyone apparently has 4d6 fire damage on their attacks, so for each of Larimar's shots:

1: (4d6)[16]

2: (4d6)[15]

3: (4d6)[14]

[Aegis013]

That was a nat 20. Is this thing immune to crits? It looks like a plant.

If not: crit threat (1d20+15)[26] to confirm for (1d8+4)[10] extra damage.

[Ridai]

A quick Spellcraft check to identify that spell. Afterwards, I shall write up my post, this time with keeping track of individual HP and conditions (which may or may not inevitably fail at some point because of implicit stuff or whatnot; I am likely to look at Jahn's post every round and just go off of that because Steely Resolve my lawd).

(1d20+11)[20]

[Alhallor]

Sadly that thing isn't suspectible to critical hits. And yes it's a plant monster no magical beast (sorry Windstruck).

Also mystery roll (1d4+6)[7]

[Ridai]

Spellcraft (1d20+11)[12]

What save needs to be rolled against the shouting attack and against what DC?

[Alhallor]

That's a bit embarrassing. It's fortitude against 19. I edited it in the post too.

[WindStruck]

Well thanks to all the buffs, can only fail it on a 1!

[Toliudar]

Coney Fort Save: (1d20+15)[20]

And her success is entirely thanks to Thaum.

Alhallor, is it safe to assume that the beast doesn't seem to have any trouble seeing in the dark?

[Alhallor]

@Toliudar: Well it doesn't seem to have any eyes.

The smaller beasts does seem to have some.

Also of note is that Ken was able to destroy his spit-thing with his attack. (updated the map).

[Toliudar]

But, to be sure, all of the beast and its offshoots seem to be functioning just fine in total darkness?

[Alhallor]

@Toliudar:

Well it is night. They seem to function perfectly fine (as do the ones who don't normally have darkvision because of your spell.)

The beast doesn't have eyes, yes it's safe to assume that it also can operate in total Darkness.

The things it spits out MAY be affected by total Darkness. They have eyes but look pretty planty themselves.

You (or anyone else, because you did talk About that particular tactic before) could make a Knowledge:Nature check for these things.

Not for the thing you're fighting because it's a pretty unique thing.

@all: I somehow can't get the map to attach to today's post.

[Ridai]

Thaum may have seen a tree at some point (this hypothesis has yet to be properly proved and peer reviewed), so here is a Knowledge (Nature) check.

(1d20+1)[8]

[kinem]

@Toliudar: The monster immediately spat Jahn out towards Ken, so there's no need to free Jahn.

[Alhallor]

@toliudar: you can also post another action here in the Ooc if you want.

@Ridai: you're pretty sure you have seen a tree at some point. But you're not sure what kind of tree. (or if there really are different kinds of trees, it could also be the same tree that is actually everywhere who disguises himself.)

[Ridai]

Thaum's eyes narrow. "So the dwarven legend of the devious Omnitree may not be mere superstition after all."

[Toliudar]

@Toliudar: The monster immediately spat Jahn out towards Ken, so there's no need to free Jahn.

Thanks. I fail comprehension again.

[Alhallor]

@Aegis: You don't provoke AoO's because the thing has spat you just outside it's range. Blink may not be a bad idea though.

[WindStruck]

I'd really love it if the dice gods would allow me to roll above a five (consistently)

[Alhallor]

@windstruck: I can't believe your misfortune in this fight. You're probably going to roll high in the next few months.

[WindStruck]

Well thankfully everyone else is doing a decent amount of damage, and these rolls aren't being used for, say, rolling saves vs instant death effects...

Oh, wait.

[Aegis013]

@Aegis: You don't provoke AoO's because the thing has spat you just outside it's range. Blink may not be a bad idea though.

I wasn't sure of its reach, considering its size.

@Toliudar and Ridai, if Jahn hits, Coney and Thaum each get a free 5ft step to use that doesn't provoke AoO.

[Toliudar]

Thanks, Aegis! If the opportunity arises for Coney to take an extra 5' step away from the big bad, she'll take it.
