Re: 3D - SWW - Part Four: Life on the Ocean Waves Part 2
OOC: So blinded gives him -2 to AC and removes all dex bonuses to AC. That drops him down to AC:13. He takes a further -4 penalty to AC for being prone, dropping him down to AC: 9!
Kinstal swings and misses as Vanthus gets bowled over, but once the nobleman is down on all fours, blinded and defenseless, he takes his time to line up a mighty blow.
The resulting attempt to decapitate Lavinia's little brother lacks finesse but makes up for it with power. Kinstal is therefore surprised to see his longsword bounce right off the demon-man's neck without leaving a scratch!
OOC: What? How the hell can Kinstal be 6th level and not have a magical primary melee weapon? That is just crazy.
Well, thanks to DR 10/magic, Kinstal has zero chance of doing any damage to this guy at all.
Vanthus chuckles, and gets to his feet (actually, it was standing up that generated the AoO, but poetic license and all that), the purple motes still swimming around his eyes (but not IN his eyes, because otherwise that would let his SR provide some defense. G'damn cheaty spells, grumble, grumble).
OOC: Okay, AoO from Kibeti still to come, but I am going to move forward a little here anyway.
"I told you. I AM A FRAKKEN DEMON!" he roars and leaps at Kinstal. Again the armor master is buried in a flurry of attacks, the demon's blindness only slightly holding him back.
15:23, Today: Dungeon Master rolled 20,21,22,25,19,24,13,9,15,4,4 using 1d20+16,1d20+16,1d20+11,1d20+13,1d20+9,1d20+9,1d8+8,1d8+8,1d8+8,1d6+2,1d6+2. Vanthus attacks: Longsword, longsword, longsword, sickle, sickle, tail.
OOC: Strange how being blinded doesn't actually lower your attack rolls...
...hey, can he still take a full attack after spending a move getting to his feet? If not, then ignore all of the below!
He hits with sickle #1 and the tail. I will check for the 50% miss chance now.
15:25, Today: Dungeon Master rolled 91,53 using d100,d100. Misses on 1-50: 1) Sickle 2) Tail
OOC: Yay! He loves blind fighting!
Vanthus connects with his sickle and cuts right through Kinstal's armout (12 hp damage after DR). The warrior figures the worst is over but then the demon's tail flicks around and scratches him across the neck (1 hp after DR). The wound immediately starts to burn and to his dismay Kinstal realities that this creature's tail contains some sort of poison.
OOC: Please make a fort vs the poison. Sorry, but I can't tell you the DR since I didn't copy that information into the scratch pad so I'll need to look it up at home.
Also, have I been taking your DR 3/- into account in this battle? When have you been damaged? It didn't apply when the lightning bolt hit you because that counts as 'force' energy, right?
