Boots on the ground (Moore)

[Nephrite]

Moore merely makes a flourishing bow.

He then casts a few spells, because why not, when you have the time to do so?

He's casting Haste (CL26) on himself and Adrian and another Surge of Hope (CL26) He's also dispelling the Silence, although it probably ran out on its own.

[Anastasia]

Cool. Ready to go then or any more prep?

[Nephrite]

I think that'll do it. Doing preparatory singing isn't really fair, so.

[Anastasia]

'NOW!' Adrian bursts into the room, going right for the barbazu guarding the prisoners, "FOR LIFASA!"

> roll 1d20 -24 PA, only misses on a 1
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 3 > [d20=3]

> roll 2d6+88+8d6
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 119 > [d6=4,4,2,2,2,2,2,5,4,4]

I'll resolve them at once. You have surprise, act as you will, Moore.

[Nephrite]

"Hi!" Moore shouts as he waves a hand to send exploding sounds all over near the brachina.

It has a 20 ft burst, so he'll catch as many baddies in it as he can. My impression is he can avoid hitting any of the hostages.

[14:20] <Nephrite> roll 15d6 DC 27 Reflex
[14:20] <Serith> Nephrite roll for Serith < 57 > [d6=6,5,3,2,4,3,5,1,2,6,2,6,6,5,1]

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+16 Ref
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 22 > [d20=6]

Which spell and does it allow SR?

[Nephrite]

Sorry! Cacophonic Burst and it does.

[14:38] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+26
[14:38] <Serith> Nephrite roll for Serith < 34 > [d20=8]

[Anastasia]

Combat erupts with a scream. Literally. The brachina cries out in pain and covers her ears, staggering as blood trickles down both sides of her head. Adrian is a blur of speed, coming on the barbazu and beginning to cut them apart before they can even react. Like this the momentum is temporarily yours as...

Init.

[Nephrite]

[21:56] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+38
[21:56] <Serith> Nephrite roll for Serith < 56 > [d20=18]

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+25 Adrian
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 42 > [d20=17]

Brachina and barbazu can't beat those, so no sense rolling for them.

Init is Moore (56) > Adrian (42) > Brachina (1) > Barbazu (0)

Go Moore.

[Nephrite]

"You get one chance, and one chance only to surrender!" Moore shouts!

He's going to try the intimidation thing again. Take 10 for 50 if possible.

[Anastasia]

I'd rule you're in a situation where stress would prevent taking 10, unless you have one of those you can always take 10 abilities.

[Nephrite]

Not on that one!

[22:35] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+40 scary pixie
[22:35] <Serith> Nephrite roll for Serith < 54 > [d20=14]

[Anastasia]

The barbazu scream fury, raging as the brachina kneels, "Mercy! Surrender!"

That seems to surprise the barbazu before they burn with fury anew.

The barbazu are just too programmed and indoctrinated to surrender. Anything else this turn, Moore?

[Nephrite]

"I've got my eye on her!" Moore calls out.
