Re: 2.7 - Celene and the House of Porphyry

OOC: Oh dang, forgot Angati. Okay, we'll say she just uses her spiritual weapon this round.

21:36, Today: Dungeon Master rolled 24,10 using 1d20+9,1d8+2.  Spiritual weapon Attack & Damage.


OOC: And I checked... this bypasses her damage reduction...

Angati focuses on using her spiritual hammer and meets with success! She clops Nylaria on the side of the head with a blow that sends her spinning! (10 hp damage) She then squeezes into the gap between Kibeti and the wall (there's your flanking Logan).

Re: 2.7 - Celene and the House of Porphyry

Nylaria keeps her cool and starts casting another spell - a tricky one by the looks of it as it is taking a long time to cast.

OOC: She tries to cast it defensively, DC23.

21:42, Today: Dungeon Master rolled 24 using 1d20+19.  Casting spell defensively.

Despite attacks raining in from all sides, she casts the spell without triggering attacks from those nearby.

The single remaining ballet dancer screams and running after Celene, her dagger raised high in the air. The sorceress nimbly side-steps the strike. The vicious lash from the ghostly succubus is another question - it hits Celene across the back and when the creature jerks the barbs out they tear her flesh (7 hp damage).

The Whirling Furies begin to make some headway on the massive construct in the other room. The diminutive Halfling closes his eyes in concentration and then millions of small biting insects start pulling themselves out of the loose soil around the side of the pit and then crawl in one churning mass onto the outside of the porphyry statue. The golem actually sinks to its knees as it is distracted with swatting the stinging bugs off. Unfortunately one of its swipes catch the trident welding 'Flash' unawares and the man's face is caved in.

Whirling Furies Remaining: 5/12

Re: 2.7 - Celene and the House of Porphyry

With Nylaria now completely distracted, Logan smiles and aims his weapons for her vulnerable back...her beautiful, smooth, enticing back.  Without meaning to, Logan finds his eyes slipping, and he takes in Nylaria's new form in all its glory.  As his sight fades, Logan yells and swings, one of his weapons managing to just connect.  Then the rogue falls back, trying to locate his foe again by hearing.

"Frak!  I saw her!"

Sorry, but your short sword attack (you rolled a 21) is a miss. Did you take flanking into account on that roll?

Re: 2.7 - Celene and the House of Porphyry

Angati's ghostly hammer strikes Nylaria in the face gain (8 hp), but the spell is a flop.

OOC: As Nylaria's will save is +16 she instantly makes the save.

Interesting question about whether or not making he 'aged' would remove her blinding beauty power. Can old people be beautiful?...

...of course not! I would have ruled that she'd lost that power.

In regards to saving throws.

SRD:
Automatic Failures and Successes

A natural 1 (the d20 comes up 1) on a saving throw is always a failure (and may cause damage to exposed items; see Items Surviving after a Saving Throw). A natural 20 (the d20 comes up 20) is always a success.

Re: 2.7 - Celene and the House of Porphyry

Did you notice that Kibeti had critted? I think it should be 13 damage, not 1.


Kibeti continues to press the attack, his enhanced claws capable of doing at least some damage against the foe's resistant skin. The stirges attack as well, and one of them manages to latch on, beginning to drain blood.

Kassius meanwhile tries to enhance his strength, in order to do draw the bow with enough strength to do meaningful damage. The magically enhanced bow lengthens slightly to take advantage of its owner's new strategy, but unfortunately Kassius' accuracy doesn't match his strength, and the arrows miss.

Re: 2.7 - Celene and the House of Porphyry

Something had happened to Nylaria. ALohan could HEAR where she was. He didnt need to see. Furthermore, the appearance of his friends allowed him to 'frame' where she was positioned. The acid had continud to sear his flesh and part of him hoped it wouldn't leave ever lasting marks but there were more things to focus on. Like killing the demon whore.

Alohan lunged forward and grabbed the succubus by the legs, pulling them out from under her. As she fell, he began to pull her, hoping to submege her in the caustic fluid he was currently standing in.
11:41, Today: Alohan Nuari rolled 8,76,87 using 2d6,1d100,1d100.  Acid, 50% blind, 20% miss.
11:42, Today: Alohan Nuari rolled 26,8 using 1d20+11,1d6+4 ((15,4)), Grapple and Raging Grapple DMG.

Re: 2.7 - Celene and the House of Porphyry

Logan hits Nylaria, but does no damage against her.

Kassius:
Did you notice that Kibeti had critted? I think it should be 13 damage, not 1.


OOC: Oh, I wondered why you described his attack in such grandiose terms. Okay, fixed.

Kassius:
Kibeti continues to press the attack, his enhanced claws capable of doing at least some damage against the foe's resistant skin. The stirges attack as well, and one of them manages to latch on, beginning to drain blood.


Kibeti tries his best, but can't break through Nylaria's defence.

One of the stirges latches on and begins to drain blood. Nylaria squeals and tries to fling it off (will roll for that during her turn).

Kassius misses.

Alohan Nuari:
I DID IT GUYS! I ROLLED ABOVE 10!


OOC: Waa-hoo Ron! I knew you had it in you!

Alohan graps the diva's legs and starts dragging her down into the stinging pool. She doesn't take damage from his rough handling ('raging grapple') though.

OOC: You both get the grappled condition.

Just Celene left in this round. What'ch got planned? Grease? Seems like there is little point now since Alohan has initiated a grapple...


19:53, Today: Dungeon Master rolled 30 using 1d20+14.  Nylaria concentration check DC22.

Conc. check vs Logan's damage... She fails! Damn it man! I had written out a massive section on how she summoned two demons but thanks to Logan's damage I have to trash that now! :D

Logan may be blinded, but he is still deadly. His skillful blades slip into Nylaria side using a move that Vorsh taught him during his recent training and the succubus wails and looses concentration on her spell of summoning. The players will never know how close they came to death.

Karthack creeps up behind the last ballet dancer, the one who was manically stalking Celene, and fells her with a quick blow to the back of her head with his sap.

Alohan has a CMD of 23 when considering grapples, so she breaks free.

Dang. Not much time left. Down to three

Nylaria stumbles back, distracted by the stirge's beak in her neck and Alohan dragging her into the pool. The succubus diva screams and jerks herself free from both grapples in a series of movements. Then Celene's little mote of energy hits her (2 hp). Nylaria rolls her eyes at the sorceress.

"Ha! Little child, Sister Eseriel had such high hopes for you. Said you were the future of our coven. Bah! This is the sort of power that a direct connection to the Porphyry Lady can provide..."

She points a finger at the sorceress and a bolt of lightning comes crashing down on the young woman. Then the ghostly succubus moves in to finish her off - the sorceress feels the lash across her back again, but it seems to hurt less than before (3 hp - min damage).

OOC: Usual story with the lightning, 3d6 damage, DC16 reflex save for half.


Okay, ignore the red 1 & 2 which were the summoned demons.

Another Whirling Fury is crushed by the stone golem, and the remaining fighters are pushed to the edge of the room where the corridor leads into the caustic pool cavern that the party are fighting in. Fights-with-lighting casts more and more lightning bolts from his bow until his fingers are nearly burning, but then some of the insects crawling on the golem spill onto him. The native archer dies horribly.

"Flin you idiot! Keep the insects on that beast, not us!" screams Vorsh.

THe halfing druid swallows hard, nods and tries to refocus his spell on the massive statue. There are now only Lady Silverman, Vorsh and Master Flin left.

Angati saw with horror as the lightning descended again on Celene, but she could only think of the spiritual gauntlet as a way to keep damage on Nylaria, even if it was so little damage. She concentrated, and casted again the same spell, even as Anansi pulled the rim of her shirt showing beneath the armor towards Celene.

In a couple of rounds Porphyry boy is going to break into this room and start killing 1d2 PC's each round irrespective of how many hit points they have, so I don't really see the point of healing anyone...

Did Alohan's CMD include the +4 from the mage armor? Also breaking free of a grapple is a standard action so she only has a move left to take after getting free.

Re: 2.7 - Celene and the House of Porphyry

OOC: Okay, so a change of plans here.

Nylaria DOES still break out of Alohan's grapple, but the stirge stays attached and can start blood sucking next round. Nylaria does NOT use lightning against Celene as she uses her standard action to break Alohan's grapple. Celene still gets hit by the spiritual ally.

That is all. Take it away guys!
