Shattered Star: The Asylum Stone [IC]

[lostsole31]

R2T28: Not being able to move in, Iluvar instead buffs himself and moves back.

R2T23: Akif is stunned, but clears his head at the end of his turn. Only to find that not only is he grabbed, but there is a conflagration right where he is!

R2T21: The Scribe begins telling stories of a Pathfinder in the Mwangi Expanse who fought off a forest of predatory plants.

R2T15: Tunuak likewise buffs himself.

R2T14: The massive plant roars as if in pain. It swallows Akif quickly, pulling him out of view of everyone else and keeping the Big Plant from the pain of the fire. Akif takes 7 mod from being crushed and 5 acid from enzymes.

R2T8: Sisir, what do you do?

Myki on deck, Iluvar in the hole ....

[Qazgir]

"Brother" Sisir calls out as Akif is pulled from view. Sisir dashes into the room, fixing his gaze on the plant, and attempting to strike at it with his mace.

Spoiler: Action!

Sisir stops concentrating on Minor Image.

Free Action: Speak

Move Action: Move 5' E, and up to 25' N, until within 5' of the Plant.

Swift Action: Hypnotic Stare on the Plant if possible. It takes -3 to Will Saves and Attack Rolls. If the target is immune to mind-affecting effects, then it +2 to any related saves and have a 50% chance to ignore the Stare's effect every round.

Standard Action: Attack the Plant if possible.

Attack 1: (1d20+15)[32]
Damage 1: (2d6+8)[14] Bludgeoning damage and trigger the first Painful Stare of the round dealing (2d6+4)[15] Precision damage and forcing a DC 20 Will Save vs becoming Confused for 1 round, for which it rolls twice to determine its actions while confused, and I choose which roll to use.

Tricks: If anyone with Mask Misery implanted become affected by any of the following conditions activate Mask Misery: Confused, dazed, frightened, sickened. If anyone with Mesmeric Mirror is attacked or targeted by a spell which requires an attack roll, trigger Mesmeric Mirror, creating two images with each image lasting for 8 minutes or until destroyed.


Other: Should Sisir fail to trigger Painful Stare twice on his own turn, he will attempt to trigger it any time the target of his Hypnotic Stare gets hit before his next turn, up to a maximum of two time in the round. Every such activation will deal 4 precision damage, and force a DC 20 Will Save vs becoming Confused for 1 round, for which it rolls twice to determine its actions while confused, and I choose which roll to use.


Confusion Preferences In Order: attack self, do nothing, attack nearest, act normally.

R2T8: "Brother!" Sisir calls out as Akif is pulled from view. Sisir steps directly into the conflagration of his own making, unharmed by the flames. The great plant blocks any further way in. He fixes his gaze on the plant and strikes it with his mace for 30.

R3T23: Akif, you are surrounded by .... something that is crushing against you for 5 mod, and digesting you for 8 acid. What do you do?

The Scribe on deck, Tunuak in the hole ...

[DrK]

Akif slowly comes to from the blow to his head, sadly caused by his own weapon! The pulsing mass of plant flesh and the sting of acid was all he registered as he felt the crushing walls of the beast all around him. Fumbling at his belt he yanks out his dagger and tries to cut his way out!

R3T23: Akif slowly comes to from the blow to his head, sadly caused by his own weapon! The pulsing mass of plant flesh and the sting of acid was all he registered as he felt the crushing walls of the beast all around him. Fumbling at his belt, Akif is unable to draw the dagger in his constricted condition.

R3T21: The Scribe continues his oration.

R3T15: Tunuak casts mage armor on himself.

R3T14: The massive plant snaps at Sisir, but he was ready for so great a maw, but less ready for the leafy tentacle that snaps him in the upper left arm for 5 mod.

R3T8: Sisir, what do you do?

Akif on deck, The Scribe in the hole ...

R3T8: "Dammit!" Sisir yells, "There isn't enough room!" He brings his mace down on the plant twice, and both times the pliant, almost rubbery outside makes his mace bounce both times without effect.

MA: He moves north 5 ft and east until he is as close to the door as he can be.
He will try to spot a place in the room the creature is not occupying.

If he can see a spot he will activate abundant step and travel to there as his second move action
else he will assess the creature, he will invest an IP if he rolls a 3-10 on the die

[lostsole31]

R4T23: Akif mumbles in pain surrounded by the fleshy plant as he abandons the dagger and just goes to rotate and slash with the spiked edges of his shield, which is enough for him to tear out! He finds he is on the inside of the room, east of the creature, and he didn't tear his way out of the plant, but out of a pod he seemed to have been cocooned within.

R4T22: Iluvar leaps into action, moving as close as he can to see into the room, but finds that he sees very little, and only of the plant, not past.

R4T21: The Scribe continues to orate mighty stories of his organization in the Mwangi.

R4T15: Tunuak delays ...

[lostsole31]

R5T22: Iluvar moves five feet to to the door and briefly studies the creature, then enacts a judgment. Because of the lack of any light at the right angle, Iluvar is unable to see in the room well. He touches the creature, which staggers it.

R5T21: The Scribe continues his oration. Meanwhile, Akif's vision is restored.

R5T14: The monster snaps down at Akif, though sighted he gets out of the way.

R5T8: Sisir, what do you do?

R6T21: The Scribe continues his oratory and sidesteps into the place formerly occupied by the monk. He gets into a fighting stance, and chokes up high on his polearm before stabbing the plant for 8 mod + 1 fire.
