Planescape: Center-of-All OOC2

[Archmage1]

I'm thinking that we be "nice". That is, we don't take personal equipment(Unless we killed the owner), and leave enough guns for them to defend the portal. Anything else, however, is forfeit.

[kinem]

Other than the trolls you slew at the entrance, only the Eldritch Giant is dead, I think. But the Captain will tell you that the Bavians will resurrect her. Will you loot her body?

That doesn’t leave much in the way of loot.

As for the guns, remember that they don’t work on most other planes.

[Archmage1]

No local treasury or armory with things of actual use, instead of that silly paper stuff?

[kinem]

Afraid not. It’s a military base, not a private fortress, and Bavia runs mostly on paper currency and checks from bank accounts.

Magic items are all personally owned.

[Archmage1]

In that case, probably time to move on to the undead portal.

All their equipment is probably like +2 while in bavia anyway. Or only makes sour wine...
(Alas, the cheesy way of reducing the cost of magical items by putting meaningless restrictions on them would be appealing to a government.)

[Cavir]

Yeah, don't want to leave them powerless to defend from other when that is what we want them to do.
Same day fight or do we get to rest?

[Archmage1]

Probably same day? It doesn't seem unreasonable to expect a party to manage 2 fights per day.

Sadly, Eilyra has spent most of her more reliable crowd control spells.

[Archmage1]

Is there anything in the room, any signs of passage, any doors, anything? Or is it perfectly uniform?

[Cavir]

We hit page 51 of the IC. Time for another.

[kinem]

Thanks.

How long has it been since our fight with the Bavians?

(Has shapechange, and the orb of lockpicking that goes with it worn off?)

[kinem]

It’’s been about 90 minutes. Shapechange lasts an impressive 10 min / level, so is still active.

[Archmage1]

And... lockpick applied! And also spell durations modified. Eilyra's AC is now quite a bit lower(Or it would be, if not for NA from hive mother.)

[kinem]

Sorry for the delay. I’m moving and don’t have access to my computer until another day or two probably.

[Archmage1]

No worries! It gives Avakuss and Vanya a chance to comment on the illusory door! Also, the fun of the wardstone that blocks teleportation, all divination, and all non-approved illusions.

[Archmage1]

Well...

Time to ask some important questions!

(1d20+15)[24] Initiative(Alas, hive mothers have a much lower initiative than she does.)

What does Eilyra know about these enemies?
(1d20+37)[57] Know: Religion(Winterwights)
(1d20+37)[39] Know: Religion(Spectral Minions)
(1d20+37)[50] Know: Religion(Steel Wire Minion?)(Eilyra's Arcana and Religion are identical, so if it is a golem, and not undead, just treat this roll as arcana.)

[kinem]

With those rolls, you can just see the monster writeups

[Archmage1]

Now, if she only got to act first, and cast haste. And turn into something a little more dangerous than a floating ball...

And also really, really hope that the blightfire doesn't hit, because that will be limiting(AKA shapechange into undead to lolnope it)
Or that Soulfire(https://dndtools.org/items/book-of-e.../soulfire--40/) says nope.)

[kinem]

Initiative: Avakuss (1d20+4)[11], Vanya (1d20+13)[25]

Soulfire doesn’t protect against Blightfire.

[Archmage1]

Does Greater Mirror Image work?

(8 images would be created)

(1d9)[5] (Attack 1, hits on a 9 if the spell works)
(1d8)[3] (Attack 2, hits on a 8 if the spell works)
(1d9)[2] (Attack 2, hits on a 9 if the spell works and the first attack was aimed at Eilyra)

[kinem]

Unfortunately Mirror Image, like Invisibility, is suppressed in the area. BTW, when was that cast?

[Archmage1]

As an immediate action in response to being attacked. Which, admittedly, was definitely a subpar option, in comparison to other choices available to her(Manticore parry, Mind over Body). Would Eilyra, with her previous roll to identify(And the failed greater invisibility), have known that the spell would fail?

Edit: Is anyone else not getting email alerts for posts?

[kinem]

Eilyra is flat-footed, so she can’t use an Immediate action (unless you have Foresight up or the like).

She wouldn’t have known for sure that the spell would fail, but it would be a reasonable guess.

I didn’t know email alerts for posts were a thing.

[Archmage1]

That answers that! In that case, she is hit, and is almost certainly going too be taking con drain.

(1d20+17)[23] Save initial
(1d20+17)[36] Save 1

[Archmage1]

If you set your notifications to instant notification by email, it will send you an email alert. Or, it did, until about three days ago.

[Archmage1]

... And I need to stop thinking of things.

Would Iron Body protect against the blightfire? Specifically, the immunity bit that goes "and all spells or attacks that affect your physiology"

[kinem]

Edit: Having taken another look I am leaning towards No on Iron Body vs Blightfire.

[Archmage1]

Ok, no makes a big difference as far as actions go, so that will require some changes to my post(A lot of them.).

Basically, instead of titan, Or... something else(Prismatic Golem?). Which changes numbers quite a bit. Also, casting a different spell.

[kinem]

Also, the ceiling is 20’ high.

[Archmage1]

Ok, going with the Prismatic Golem.
Which grants incorporeal, but her equipment sticks with her, so fun times? Her attacks ignore armor, shield, and natural armor bonuses for fun. And she is hard to hit.

Anything that touches her gets to feel the rainbow, as defined by a d8 roll.

Also, everyone gets haste. Except the enemies.

Finally, she is casting combust on the leftmost winterwight,
(1d20+41)[53] Touch
(1d20+25)[44] Spell Penetration
(10d8)[39](+5 for Knowledge Devotion) Fire damage(No save)
Reflex save DC 15 or catch on fire.

Ok, hopefully, done! It only took a couple of hours. Seriously. Shapechange. Sucks. So many options.
