To cure rotting earth (Ithea, Moore)

Anastasia · February 24, 2016, 10:29:29 PM

As Moore calls on courage for the party and others are violently ill...

Init order is now Stille (40) > Moore (33) > Hope (29 nauseated 2) > Balyss (28 nauseated 2) > Smrgol (27) > Rosa (nauseated 3) = Dana (26) > Crystal (nauseated 3) = Ithea (25 nauseated 3) > Monolith (13 -10 Str damage) > Lixer's puppet (9)

Smrgol's up.

Anastasia · February 24, 2016, 10:36:20 PM

Also, since this got lost in the shuffle: The elemental shouldn't be immune to fire, unless it has an unrelated enchantment on it. At least Smrgol thinks that.

Nephrite · February 24, 2016, 10:42:09 PM

Seeing as this thing is probably too large to avoid his impressive breath weapon, Smrgol decides to simply try and melt it that way!

[21:40] <Nephrite> roll 20d10 Reflex 26 halves
[21:40] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 20d10 Reflex 26 halves --> [ 20d10=92 ]{92}

<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+20 (+6 ???, +4 ???) --> [ 1d20=17 ]{37}

The elemental doesn't dodge - it simply parries the blast with one huge arm, scorched but stopping the worst of it. "Pathetic," Lixer growls, contempt heavy in his voice.

Init order is now Stille (40) > Moore (33) > Hope (29 nauseated 2) > Balyss (28 nauseated 2) > Smrgol (27) > Rosa (nauseated 2) = Dana (26) > Crystal (nauseated 3) = Ithea (25 nauseated 3) > Monolith (13 -10 Str damage) > Lixer's puppet (9)

Dana's up.

"Well, well! Someone's acting like his balls finally fucking dropped!" Dana strides right on in, seemingly uncaring of the wide opening it presents, the elemental taking it to crush her beneath its fist.

Spending 22 power points for a swift action defensive precognition, boosted to +6 AC/saves. +5 AC since she has a permanent +1 insight bonus going on, but the save bonus is in full.

<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+20 (+6 ???, +4 ???) --> [ 1d20=17 ]{37}
> roll 1d20+72 (+6 earth mastery, +9 ???, +1 ???, +3 ???, +1 ???) vs 75
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+72 (+6 earth mastery, +9 ???, +1 ???, +3 ???, +1 ???) vs 75 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{82}
> roll 8d6+50
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 8d6+50 --> [ 8d6=27 ]{77}

WHAM! The blow neatly crushes Dana beneath its fist - until it pulls back and Dana walks on, bloodied but unbowed. "Good boy, I almost felt that one! Daddy must be so proud of you, all those limp fucking wrists and failures must look real good." As she strides in, she takes an exploratory jab at the elemental.

> roll 1d20+42 (+1 haste)
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+42 (+1 haste) --> [ 1d20=1 ]{43}

Hit enter before I added Moore's bardic music bonuses, but a natural 1 is a natural 1.

Which promptly hits the metal armoring and skids right off to no effect.

Init order is now Stille (40) > Moore (33) > Hope (29 nauseated 2) > Balyss (28 nauseated 2) > Smrgol (27) > Rosa (nauseated 2) = Dana (26) > Crystal (nauseated 2) = Ithea (25 nauseated 2) > Monolith (13 -10 Str damage) > Lixer's puppet (9)

As the others fight (and are noisily sick), the ground 150ft behind them breaks open. The elemental monolith again shows itself, grabbing a rather large boulder and hurling it at Moore.

> roll 1d20+33 touch AC vs Moore's
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+33 touch AC vs Moore's --> [ 1d20=1 ]{34}

Aaand he comes up short, the boulder only making it 100ft of the 150ft. It makes some noise but doesn't even come close to smashing any of them.

"Know your place," Lixer says coldly, before giving Dana a contemptuously flick with two oversized fingers.

> roll 1d20+82 (+6 earth mastery, +9 ???, +1 ???, +3 ???, +1 ???) vs Dana's CMD of 87
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+82 (+6 earth mastery, +9 ???, +1 ???, +3 ???, +1 ???) vs Dana's CMD of 87 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{90}

Dana's promptly sent reeling back 15ft, as a moment's chanting follows. Sickly purple energy gathers into the primal elemental, clustering into it at a fast pace.

As this happens, Stille kneels next to Balyss and whispers, "Pull it together! Selune needs you right now!"

Heal on Balyss. Sickened and nauseated are gone. Moore's up.

Moore waves his hand and points at the monolith, weaving his newly-found powers to try and cause it to simply fail at everything it does.

Then he turns invisible.

Destined Failure on the Monolith -- DC 30 Will, if it fails it takes -5 penalty on all attack, skills and ability checks. If it succeeds this is reduced to -1.

Also as a reminder, everyone has +1 to attack rolls because Moore's there and +2 to attack rolls from the harp and +2 to spell DCs for 2 more rounds.

Courage: 4 rounds

Success.

Moore wraps his power around the monolith, turning destiny to one of failure as...

fyI Smrgol only gets the +2 marshal bonus 'cause he's immune to mind affecting.

Also the breath weapon was a bad idea, I only considered it because I thought appearing+disease blast used Lixer's turn and didn't want to run in and give him the first full attack. Since he then ran in and gave Smrgol that chance it became moot.

Lessons learned I suppose. I'll outline plans better before I go to bed in future.

Anastasia · February 25, 2016, 12:35:13 PM

Eb's correct, unless Moore has the Music of the Gods feat. Music of the Gods: When you want your golems to be even more bullshit.

Anyway, that's a total of -15 from Smrgol's attacks. That reduces his string to 56, 59, 58, 54, 56 and 55. None of those hit. Let's just chalk this one up to learning.

Also, the monolith's 150ft back and throwing rocks. The primal elemental (possessed by Lixer) is what's in the party's face. Just FYI.

Smrgol savagely attacks Lixer's puppet, but the armor plating it wears stops all of the dragon-golem's attacks. Bites don't penetrate, claws and wing bashes only make small dents.

Init order is now Stille (40) > Moore (33) > Hope (29) > Balyss (28) > Smrgol (27) > Rosa = Dana (26) > Crystal = Ithea (25) > Monolith (13 -10 Str damage) > Lixer's puppet (9)

Rosa and Dana are up. Go Rosa.

Nephrite · February 25, 2016, 12:47:34 PM

Rosa will move in to flank the puppet of Lixer along with Dana, but as she goes, will activate her protections to weather the storm of fury and try and take a strike at the monstrosity!

Activating Armor of God on her way on to boost her AC to 63+16 = 79 +1 haste for 80.

She'll use Protection Devotion as soon as she can afterwards, it eats another immediate so I'm not sure if she can do it until her next turn, though.

[11:46] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+38

Not bothering with damage since I know the number has to be at least 60.

Rosa gets AoOed for going, ow.

Rosa charges in, slashing at the beast...but her blade fails to come close to penetrating and she's instead slammed into the ground for her efforts. A fist comes down and smacks her, leaving her bloodied. Her hair's mussed and her nose trickles blood down her face, but she's still up.

Dana meanwhile grins up at the elemental, before charging in again, headlong. As she does, shimmering light surrounds her, washing over the party.

Protection devotion, she had the same idea. +7 sacred to AC to all allies within 30ft of her.

> roll 1d20+22 (+1 heroes feast, +1 haste, -22 PA since she suspects she needs a home run 20 here anyway)
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+22 (+1 heroes feast, +1 haste, -22 PA since she suspects she needs a home run 20 here anyway) --> [ 1d20=10 ]{32}

Dana's swing is mighty, a thrust right into the primal elemental's middle - that fails to even scratch the armor that surrounds it.

Crystal and Ithea are up. Go.

Hope moves closer to the monolith, still a bit woozy from the nausea to charge, but not to move.

Once in reach, Crystal and Hope grow in size as Righteous Might fills them both and Crystal thrusts her lance as if she were charging into the corrupted primal earth, yelling with abandon while she does her best to smite it.

Righteous Might swift through Battle Blessing, plus Smite Evil.
