Grunyar tips his hat to the monk and this time instead of the large black wings he sported last battle he is shadowy and not easily tracked.  Grunyar moves to the center of the arena activates his shirt then moves closer to Latro and summons some more friends. Grunyar smiles big as he sees four Lurkers appear but after his second summon he frowns amazed that his power was that powerful but sad to see he wasted that much power as three lurkers disappear.

SUMMARY: Grunyar moves close to Latro and summons to many friends


OOC: lol two rolls of 3 guess should have rolled seperate what waste of Hero point :(, if for some reason X4 is unable to appear there move him to J8

fortunately for Grunyar and all of his summons, they are unaffected by latro's auras as the auras only effect enemies. aka, Hiro, Thraxis, and all thraxis's summons.

Thanks guess I should have looked up your auras, just assumed everyone is effected

Which xill is evolved?

It is not an evolution that changes outward appearance it is in pm to Ankou which is evolved

I've given this some thought, and I have a different take on it.
It's not an obvious evolution, but if you know what Xill are supposed to look like, you might notice something different about one of them.

You need a Knowledge(The Planes) check first. DC10+CR, ie DC16
And a perception check, since the Xill is no actively concealing his anatomy, that would be DC5+distance penalties.

thraxis if you want to roll that knowledge check before i take my turn go ahead, otherwise just give me the go ahead.

He can't talk to you before your turn anyways, might as well just go :)

As hiro said, nothing would matter until my turn - go ahead.

As the battle begins, Latro visited by a dark spirit that whispers a prophecy into his ear before vanishing just as mysteriously as it had appeared. The words that it whispered seem to shake Latro but he remains stedfast, fully aware of the dangers yet to come.

"So be it." Latro scoffs and casts a protective spell upon himself, warding him from attacks from those of lawful alignments.

Forgot to update the map


Thraxis, its now your turn! :D

also, just in case you weren't aware, rolling a natural 1 on a UMD check means that you can't use UMD on that items for 24 hours. so iggy cant cast bless from that particular scroll of bless unless this match somehow lasts for 14,400 rounds. :P

My first action on my turn will need this before determining the rest of it:
Grunyar, could you please have Xill 3 make a dc 22 will save?

Grunyar Fangblood rolled 11 using 1d20+6 with rolls of 5.  Xill 3 will save vs DC 22. Fail

Thraxis does things, and his voice is heard saying, "Kill your former master." The Xill closest to Grunyar steps up to him very quickly and lays into him.  The four Bralani unleash overlapping lightning bolts, all hitting Bralani 1, Grunyar, the lurker, and Latro.  Iggy bumps faces with a xill.

   ROLLS:
Xill:
22:06, Today: Thraxis rolled 17,27 using 1d20+16,1d20+16 with rolls of 1,11.  Xill 3 Bite 1, Haste Bite.
22:06, Today: Thraxis rolled 27,20,25,26 using 1d20+16,1d20+16,1d20+16,1d20+16 with rolls of 11,4,9,10.  Xill 3: 4 claws.
22:08, Today: Thraxis rolled 26 using 1d20+10 with rolls of 16.  xill 3: bite 2 reroll (should have been 6 lower).  (6 lower would still have been a hit so I figured you would ask for a reroll) - Requires dc 18 fort save or be paralyzed.
22:09, Today: Thraxis rolled 8,8,9,6,6 using 1d6+2,1d4+5,1d4+5,1d4+5,1d4+5 with rolls of 6,3,4,1,1.  Bite 2, 4 claws damage.
22:12, Today: Thraxis rolled 31,35,35,25 using 1d20+19,1d20+19,1d20+19,1d20+19 with rolls of 12,16,16,6.  4x claw hits: 4xGrabs.
Bralani:
22:15, Today: Thraxis rolled 27 using 6d6 with rolls of 6,4,6,2,5,4.  Bralani 1 Lightning Bolt damage.
22:15, Today: Thraxis rolled 22 using 6d6 with rolls of 3,6,4,5,1,3.  Bralani 2 Lightning Bolt Damage.
22:15, Today: Thraxis rolled 18 using 6d6 with rolls of 5,5,2,3,1,2.  Bralani 3 Lightning Bolt damage.
22:16, Today: Thraxis rolled 24 using 6d6 with rolls of 5,4,3,2,6,4.  Bralani 4 Lightning Bolt damage.
Iggy:
22:22, Today: Thraxis rolled 21 using 1d20+19 with rolls of 2.  iggy acrobatics past xill.  (Fails - stops in j7 and provokes attack)
Thraxis:
22:25, Today: Thraxis rolled 32 using 1d20+21 with rolls of 11.  Stealth (+20 invis, -20 cast spell w/ verbal).

   SUMMARY: Thraxis takes one of Grunyar's Xill (Control Summoned Creature - you may try to take him back as a standard action with an opposed spellcraft roll), hastes his posse, and uses a move action (DC 32+ distance perception to locate).  The xill lays into Grunyar (), the bralani fire lightning bolts, Iggy puts bless away, and tumbles face first into the xill and provokes an attack before drawing a different scroll.
   SUMMARY EFFECTS: Grunyar - dc 18 fort save or paralyzed by xill, takes 37 damage over 5 hits, then grappled.  Grunyar, Lurker and Latro need 4 consecutive reflex saves vs dc 15 to take half of 27,22,18,14 in that order. (If grunyar fails fort save, those are with an effective dex of 0).


OOC: I have an eidolon for sale if anyone wants it.  Also, the bralani auto-pass their fly checks to go under half speed as they have a +22 fly.

a couple things, I have to ask you have a 21 unbuffed mod to stealth as any movement along with the areana penalty washes invisiblity's buff to stealth. I assume you moved beings you give only the +20 instead of +40 buff for stealth unless your roll is labeled wrong ...

Can you roll vs the Xill's SR 17 please on both spells

I have to ask because its not in your fluff did you command your summons to attack us if not they attack my Xills because they are the closest enemy creatures.

The stealth mod is correct.

For SR:
00:14, Today: Thraxis rolled 31 using 1d20+11 with rolls of 20.  Command Summon Monster Spell pen vs 17.
00:14, Today: Thraxis rolled 25 using 1d20+11 with rolls of 14.  Haste spell pen vs 17.  If the arena rule is roll per creature I will also have to roll this for the Bralani - RAW is ambiguous.

Regarding commands:
House rules just say that you must be able to communicate with the summoned creatures to have 'command' of them, and the Bralani have truespeech.  Also, only creatures of int 2 or lower are treated as being unable to use complex tactics.  If it is ruled that both of those are invalid, and that having int 13 casting outsiders use a spell like ability to geek the mage is too complex of tactics, and that it is less consistent with my post than to add the free action than to re-do the entire turns for the 4 bralani (which were consistently stated throughout), let me know and I'll re-do them.

I see your rule however I did not say perform complex tactic I referred to the target they picked which per RAW

quote:

This spell summons an extraplanar creature (typically an outsider, elemental, or magical beast native to another plane). It appears where you designate and acts immediately, on your turn. It attacks your opponents to the best of its ability. If you can communicate with the creature, you can direct it not to attack, to attack particular enemies, or to perform other actions.

Just spit balling but would they not see the Xill as a better target not only are they pure evil but they are of closer proximity and pose an immediate threat the "mage" is not threatening them.

Just my opinion of course Ankou will need to rule I called out your mistake which only changes the summons actions which happen after yours so has no effect on your actions so no you shouldn't add free action command minions, this is why I invest in linguistics and when I want a minion to do something specific I command it.  Had you caught it (meaning you understood you made the mistake) and posted it I would not oppose but beings it needed to be pointed out means you saw no issue with it.  Again just my two cents, Ankou please take it into consideration.

I understand Grunyar's point, unfortunately I see no way of deciding which target any intelligent summon would more likely pick over an other.
In this case, why not all on Latro, since he's a champion of Evil?

As long as the actions fall under the category "attack your opponent to the best of its ability", the summoner should be able to decide which target are picked.

For all other actions, including buffing themselves or other, the summoner needs to communicate with their summons, ie have a common language and spend the free action.

Thraxis, when you cast verbal spells invisible, observers still get a spellcraft check to recognise it, please mention the DC somewhere.

Thank you Ankou I still disagree that a minion intelligent or not is going to attack a target that is A-not threatening it and B-Thraxis never in prep or this round pointed us out as opponents.

Also Thraxis Xill needs to roll 20% miss vs my shadow form on bite and until one of the claws hit & grab.

Each creatures has their own spell resistance so it makes since that you would need to roll for each of your summons as well.

and as far as auto passing fly checks go, that may be, but not rolling for it is tantamount to choosing to fail it, as Arkim has so lovingly put it multiple times on various occasions.

I'm fine with rolling each spell pen... and rolling the fly checks I've never had trouble before so long as I pointed out it was an auto-pass, but have no problem rolling it.

13:20, Today: Thraxis rolled 36,28,24,30 using 1d20+22,1d20+22,1d20+22,1d20+22 with rolls of 14,6,2,8.  Bralani 1-4 fly check dc 10 to go less than half speed - all pass.
13:20, Today: Thraxis rolled 27,14,30,14 using 1d20+11,1d20+11,1d20+11,1d20+11 with rolls of 16,3,19,3.  Spell pen vs Bralani in order - dc 17.
13:30, Today: Thraxis rolled 12 using 1d100 with rolls of 12.  1-20 misses - Xill bite.
13:30, Today: Thraxis rolled 36 using 1d100 with rolls of 36.  1-20 misses - xill claw 1.

Bralani 1 and 3 have haste, 2 and 4 do not.
Xill misses the bite, hits on the first claw - no paralysis on Grunyar, no fort save needed, and the 8 bite damage never happens.

Regarding the spell dc I posted its name publicly in the summary instead of a dc - as the spell gives Grunyar the option to take an action, I figured it was fair to let him know about it. (It was Control Summoned Monster).  I will add an effect: Control Summon Monster (1/11) on the Xill on my next turn if he's still there.  (Or Grunyar can add it and haste to his xill 3 when he comes up as it's still "his" minion.)

What is the DC to take back control?

It's an opposed spellcraft check - you'll know when we both roll.

*sigh* I will be using standard action to take back control so please roll so I have a DC.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be a pain - I just thought you might have wanted to wait until Hiro's turn was over to declare what your standard action was going to be.

If you're sure you want to declare a standard a turn ahead of time (and it's legal?) I'll put my roll up for you.
