Crossed swords

Minus the temp hp, that does 329 damage to me.

You stumble back even as Shar's gaze bores into you, entire body aflame as you struggle to stay up.

Will, Seira. Good luck.

Yet this you shake off with raw energy, a moment that goes on too long and leaves your mind numb, but nothing else.

Init is Shar's Avatar (Supreme) > Amaryl's Avatar (Supreme) > Seira's Avatar (Supreme) > Donald = Ranbar (23)

Amaryl and Seira. Go.

[Corwin]

That was frankly horrible to a ridiculous degree, so Seira tips a mental hat to Shar and stops time. Since Mind Blank is so useless here, she dismisses it, focusing the freed up mental power on combat precognition instead.

19:56 <Corwin> roll 1d4+1
19:56 <Penuche> Corwin invokes Penuche's magic: < 3 > [d4=2]

Round 1: Swift for Heal, swift for Heal, standard for Seira's Arcane Thesis
Round 2: Swift to activate armbands of the spark, swift to dispel Mind Blank, move to get over next to Shar, standard for Mass Moments of Prescience
Round 3: Swift for True Casting, swift for True Strike, move to channel Enhanced Maximized Empowered Twinned Orb of Fire into a claw, standard to cast Duelist's Friend

Let's resolve this first, and please describe Shar and our surrounding a bit more, then I'll act out the rest of my turn.

[Anastasia]

CL check on Time Stop, please?

It's darkness and shadows as your magic moves and your wounds heal. There's nothing but darkness and a bit of stone and metal now, which Shar blends into. Your draw on all your power here as...

Continue.

[Corwin]

So the seeing Shar thing was fluff, and I don't actually see her now? Does the wall she merged with look any different? Does Duelist's Friend provide any aid at all, for example from the following part of the spell?

"The target is never flatfooted and cannot be flanked. He automatically senses the location of all invisible, hidden or otherwise unseen creatures."

[Anastasia]

Oooh. Shar's there to see, yes, I thought that was established so it didn't bear repeating. The wall's she's merged with doesn't look different besides the fact that she's part of it.

Yes, and you don't sense any such creatures. It seems to be 'just' Shar's avatar.

[Corwin]

Seira claws at the wall with Shar's ugly mug on it! It might look a bit silly, but trying out the direct solution before getting creative is just common sense!

Impromptu Sneak Attack:

21:51 <Corwin> roll 1d20+62+10+20
21:51 <Penuche> Corwin invokes Penuche's magic: < 104 > [d20=12]
21:52 <Corwin> roll 2d8+88+23d6+3d6
21:52 <Penuche> Corwin invokes Penuche's magic: < 181 > [d8=4,1][d6=2,1,3,4,1,2,6,4,5,4,1,6,6,1,6,1,1,2,6,6,2,2,1,6,6,3]

Also Goldenfire Magic'd channeled Enhanced Maximized Empowered Twinned Orb of Fire for 675 goldenfire damage vs Evil.

Does this do anything?

[Anastasia]

First of all, does that make Shar flatfooted?

[Corwin]

Well, that's what the power does (especially in conjunction with the armbands of the spark that let me do critical hit/precision damage on anything while activated).

Impromptu Sneak Attack

Beginning at 3rd level, once per day an arcane trickster can declare one melee or ranged attack he makes to be a sneak attack (the target can be no more than 30 feet distant if the impromptu sneak attack is a ranged attack). The target of an impromptu sneak attack loses any Dexterity bonus to AC, but only against that attack. The power can be used against any target, but creatures that are not subject to critical hits take no extra damage (though they still lose any Dexterity bonus to AC against the attack).

[Anastasia]

Seira is fast enough to be able to stab in to Shar. Yet while it draws blood, it hardly slows her for a moment. The wound seems shallow even as flames burn her as her claws work. It got her attention - but it hardly seems to be a fatal blow.

Anything else this round?

[Corwin]

Seira keeps striking at the same shallow wound even as a light application of her power heals her back to perfect health!

Swift Heal so I'm back to full. Did any of that hit Shar? If not, that's the end of my turn. None of these attacks were impromptu SAs.
