Boots on the ground (Moore)

[Nephrite]

Yes sir.

[Anastasia]

Go ahead and include a quick summary, would you? It's not really mandatory, but when I'm running 4 combat-esque topics, I really appreciate the help.

[Nephrite]

Of course.

Surge of Hope: +4 morale bonus on attack rolls, saving throws, ability and skill checks and immunity to fear, 25m
Conviction: +4 morale bonus to saving throws, 140m (so this kind of overrides the one from Surge of Hope)
Tyche's Touch: +4 sacred to saving throws, then becomes +3 and so on, lasts for the rest of this.
Haste is Haste, +1 to attack rolls, dodge to AC and Reflex, 30 more movement speed and +1 extra attack in a full round action, 25/r

[Anastasia]

"Forward!" Adrian says, "Everyone else deal with the buildings, the two of us'll take care of the barricades and tower."

Init.

For what it's worth the others (besides Adrian, I mean) would also get +12, but I don't think you want to worry about that

[Anastasia]

Adrian also grants a +4 initiative bonus so add it to yours.

Open Moore.

[Nephrite]

May as well make this a bit easier for the others and simply cut a hole through the barricades! He waves his hand a brief moment and shouts!

Cacophonic Burst, he's aiming it more or less in front of them to get as many barricades as he can in the area (which is 20ft)

[13:04] <Nephrite> roll 15d6 DC 27 Reflex halves
[13:04] <Rei-chan> Nephrite rolled : 15d6 DC 27 Reflex halves --> [ 15d6=43 ]{43}

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+7
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{26}

So close and yet so far.

The barbazu and archers take the burst in pain. Eardrums burst and blood comes from their ears from it, knocking them back. In perfect timing as Adrian charges, bulling right into the barricade and barbazu. At the last moment he flies up onto the barricade, swinging for bearded devils.

> roll 1d20+30 (+2 charge, +4 surge of hope, +1 haste, -24 PA)
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+30 (+2 charge, +4 surge of hope, +1 haste, -24 PA) --> [ 1d20=12 ]{42}

<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 2d6+86+8d6 plus 2 strength --> [ 2d6=3 8d6=37 ]{126}

Two bearded devils and two archers are cut crudely in half by Gaelach, the archers falling dead and the barbazu fading away. "Here I am, you bastards!"

Indeed, arrows from several barricades fly at Adrian.

<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d8+6 vs DR 15 they can't beat --> [ 1d8=8 ]{14}

Arrows even hit Adrian and bounce off, even when they find a gap in his armor. Barbazu scream in fury and lash at him, falling into a black, vile rage.

'Moore, go ahead and start getting the attention of the other barricades. I'll work through these,' Adrian says, 'Don't go too far in case our invisible friend shows up.'

At this you see the tower itself begin to glow with a pale blue light, rippling up and down it. As you watch it grows faster and faster.

'...Or do something about that!'

Moore. Init is now:

The best thing he can try is to dispel the magic that's going on in that tower -- or at least try and disrupt it! So he does!

Throwing a Greater Dispel Magic pretty much at the center of the tower. He's hoping it'll at least... you know, do something.

[14:53] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+20 dispel
[14:53] <Rei-chan> Nephrite rolled : 1d20+20 dispel --> [ 1d20=16 ]{36}

[Anastasia]

The glow around the tower abruptly stops, the light successfully dispelled. It fades away in an instant, going from colorful to lightless once more.

Surrounded by barbazu and archers, Adrian smiles as Gaelach strikes out all around him.

Devils and collaborators are cut apart by each swing of his blade. He ignores barbazu who strikes at him, walking forward as each swipe cuts apart several of his enemies. They fall like wheat, the entire barricade reduces to blood and corpses. He begins advancing on the next one, as...

Init is Moore (54) > Adrian (39) > Barricades (19) > Tower (1) > Misc (0)

"The hell are these two?" One archer cries, looking back and forth from the tower and Moore to Adrian. A barbazu turns and snarls at him, which makes him quickly grab another arrow and keep on firing. Arrows land all around Adrian as the eyes of his helmet burn.

Going to omit the arrow rolls, even max damage doesn't do enough to beat his DR and he can't be critted.

Meanwhile the tower is still, silent. No sign of magic or cataclysmic release, at least for now.

Spot check.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 45. If it hasn't been 25 minutes since he used vision, then it's 55.

"I'll be nice and give you all one chance at surrendering peacefully." Moore says with a bit of an impish grin.

[Anastasia]

You see a ripple in an alley to your side. A big, midnight black fiend appears there, larger than a man and with a greatsword. You know what this is - a cornugon. What it's doing here is a mystery, but it has a straight shot right at your side.

Joining init.

Go Moore. Cornugon's about 30ft or so to your left.

Blahblah +14 to attack and weapon damage rolls and saves against charm and fear and so on and so forth.

+2 Competence bonus on Attack Rolls

Energy Absorption, CL 26, Duration 26 hours/expended

[spoiler]Subject gains Resistance 10 against all five energy types: Acid, Cold, Electricity, Fire, and Sonic.
As an immediate action, the subject can cause the spell to absorb the power of a single energy-based attack. The subject gains immunity to any energy types used in that attack (but only for that attack), and also heals a number of points of damage equal to 1/2 the damage the effect would normally have caused. For instance, if a red dragon breathes fire on the subject for 87 points of damage, he could decide as an immediate action to absorb the effect, thus healing 43 points of damage instead of taking any damage. Hit points in excess of the subject's normal maximum are lost. Taking advantage of this function ends the duration of the spell.

Elemental Body, CL 26, Duration 26 hours

Spoiler: ShowHide

You can transform your body into a particular type of elemental substance. You and your possessions appear to be made of that element, though in the same general shape and size as your normal appearance.
ou have the benefits of the attune form spell (page 17) with respect to the appropriate element. If you choose a water body, for example, you can breathe normally on water dominant planes. You are immune to poison, sleep, paralysis, and stunning, and are not subject to extra damage from critical hits or flanking. You gain darkvision out to 60 feet. Your creature type remains unchanged, so you are unaffected by spells that target elementals, but you gain the air, earth, fire, or water subtype depending on the elemental substance you chose.
Air: Fly at your normal speed (perfect maneuverability), air mastery (airborne creatures take a —1 penalty on attack rolls and damage rolls against you).
Earth: Earth mastery (you gain a +1 bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls if both you and your foe touch the ground), push (you can start a bull rush maneuver without provoking attacks of opportunity), +3 natural armor bonus to AC.
Fire: Fire immunity, burn (those you hit in melee and those who attack you with natural weapons must make a Reflex save or catch fire, with a save DC equal to that of a fire elemental of the same size).
Water: Water: Swim at your normal speed, water mastery (you gain a +1 bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls if both you and your opponent touch water), drench (you can use your elemental form to put out nonmagical open flames and dispel magical fire you touch as if casting dispel magic at your caster level).
The elemental body spell has the descriptor of the element you choose. So, if you choose a body of fire, elemental body is a fire spell.

Surraruthru's Stupendous Dragonskin, CL 26, Duration 26 hours
Grants you a +10 armor bonus to armor class and damage reduction 10/magic.

Agility of the Dragon Princess, CL 26, Duration 26 hours
The target of this spell gains a +4 insight bonus to Dexterity.

Strength of the Dragon Princess, CL 26, Duration 26 hours
The target of this spell gains a +4 insight bonus to Strength.

Mind of the Dragon Princess, CL 26, Duration 26 hours
The target of this spell gains a +4 insight bonus to Intelligence.

Mind Blank, CL 26, Duration 24 hours

Spoiler: ShowHide

The subject is protected from all devices and spells that detect, influence, or read emotions or thoughts. This spell protects against all mind-affecting spells and effects as well as information gathering by divination spells or effects. Mind blank even foils limited wish, miracle, and wish spells when they are used in such a way as to affect the subject's mind or to gain information about it. In the case of scrying that scans an area the creature is in, such as arcane eye, the spell works but the creature simply isn't detected. Scrying attempts that are targeted specifically at the subject do not work at all.

Stoneskin, CL 26, Duration 260 minutes
Subject gains DR 10/adamantine up to 150 points.

Spell Turning, CL 26, Duration 260 Minutes

Spoiler: ShowHide

Spells and spell-like effects targeted on you are turned back upon the original caster. The abjuration turns only spells that have you as a target. Effect and area spells are not affected. Spell turning also fails to stop touch range spells.
From seven to ten (1d4+6) spell levels are affected by the turning. The exact number is rolled secretly.
When you are targeted by a spell of higher level than the amount of spell turning you have left, that spell is partially turned. The subtract the amount of spell turning left from the spell level of the incoming spell, then divide the result by the spell level of the incoming spell to see what fraction of the effect gets through. For damaging spells, you and the caster each take a fraction of the damage. For nondamaging spells, each of you has a proportional chance to be affected.
If you and a spellcasting attacker are both warded by spell turning effects in operation, a resonating field is created.

[Anastasia]

Moore stays above the battlefield and sings, his words heard as Adrian advances. He is relentless, deftly charging into the next line of defense.

> roll 1d20+43 (+1 haste, +4 surge of hope, +14 bard song, -24 PA)
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 46 > [d20=3]
> roll 2d6+100
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 107 > [d6=2,5]

Adrian leaps on the next barricade and his sword slashes across, neatly beheading a pair of barbazu. The sky briefly flashes read a moment later and the ground rumbles, as meanwhile the cornugon takes to the air and charging you headlong, a scream of, "Die!" following his sword trying to cut you into half.

Going to use an immediate? I recall you have a few.

[Nephrite]

You're so good to me. Yes, he's going to suddenly be 8 more Moores! Get it? Yeah so anyway greater mirror image, here's hoping he doesn't have true seeing.
