Rebirth and redemption

[Iron Dragoon]

Holding action.

[Anastasia]

And yet...it doesn't show signs of coming back, not at all. As you wait...

Tremorsense?

[Iron Dragoon]

Not anymore.

[Anastasia]

Abruptly the ground beneath you erupts, the giant bug coming right for you from below.

At least you can't be flatfooted anymore, which helps.

<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 57 > [d20=1]

Lucky.

Yet you hop out of the way, the attacker avoided entirely as...

Going to take your held action?

[Iron Dragoon]

I surely will.

Now that the annoying creature has exposed itself,  Alyssa chants a quick spell before unleashing her fists on it!

[Anastasia]

What do your fists count as for DR?

[Iron Dragoon]

Only a level 2 monk, so nothing outside of the +5 from GMW.

[Anastasia]

You strike but the blows do little - it's armored hide is tough.

Anything else or is Dolmaya good to blast at the same time?

[Iron Dragoon]

Nope, she's good to go.

[Anastasia]

Dolmaya snaps her fingers as a barrage of flaming rays pierce your foe. She doesn't even move otherwise as...

Empowered maximized twinned split ray scorching ray.

Each ray deals a base of 24 damage maximized and there's 5 normal hits. 24+12=36. 36*5=180.

The two crits deal 48 maximized and there's 2 crits. 48+24=72. 72*2=144. 144+180=324.

A moment later half a dozen holes are in the creature's head, steaming and smoking. It collapses back and goes still.

"Peasant," Dolmaya watches it fall, "Hardly worth an Empress's wrath."

Free act.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa holds up her fist and gives it a disgruntled look.

"Hm. I'll have to do something about this. I'm certainly able to fight better, but actually punching through armor... It was a good test to see how things went, at least. Spells first from now on, it seems."

She turns the bug and inspects it, looking for anything of use or value.
