Warming back up (Afina)

Anastasia · December 01, 2015, 12:48:05 PM

At this, a giant advances. This one wears a chain shirt and carries a rather heavy looking axe. "C'mon," he calls, "Little pixie, little elementals, it doesn't matter!"

Ebiris · December 01, 2015, 01:35:42 PM

"Hmm, this is still missing something, isn't it?" Afina reflects, before smiling over at her fellow pixie. "Crystal, follow my lead," she asks, before using her natural ability with illusions to manifest a persistent image of a cheering crowd filling the stands to her left. Pixies, giants, trolls, nymphs, angels, dragons, elementals of all stripes... all sorts are represented and all of them are baying for blood!

CL 23 persistent image to fill 27 ten foot cubes with a packed crowd. I'll monitor the illusion to have people cheer appropriately for either side when telling blows are struck and such. Atmosphere!

"Now... begin!" she calls to let the tournament commence with what may be an easy victory to the giants unless she's grossly overestimated them.

Format is basically a one on one fight but each side can interfere with a cast spell once per battle. Rather than doing lots of init rolls maybe just have each side act on their champion's init for the first round and then if they don't act they can treat it like a held action to interrupt whenever?

[17:34] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+5 greater elemental init
[17:34] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d20+5 greater elemental init --> [ 1d20=6 ]{11}

Spoiler: Show

Anastasia · December 01, 2015, 01:52:28 PM

Crystal aids, soon the arena full of phantasmal fans and cheering. The other giants step back as everyone positions, the battle joined.

> roll 1d20+1 cloud giant
<Kobot> Kowork rolled 1d20+1 cloud giant --> [ 1d20=6 ]{7}

Golem opens. Go Afina. The giant's 50ft away.

Ebiris · December 01, 2015, 01:55:36 PM

Seizing the initiative, the enormous serpentine water elemental undulates its way across the arena, crashing into the giant with the force of a tsunami!

[17:54] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+15 (+2 charge, -4pa, -4 for not being underwater)
[17:54] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d20+15 (+2 charge, -4pa, -4 for not being underwater) --> [ 1d20=19 ]{34}
[17:54] <@Ebiris> roll 2d10+8 (+4 from power attack, -4 for not being underwater)
[17:54] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 2d10+8 (+4 from power attack, -4 for not being underwater) --> [ 2d10=14 ]{22}

"Think it's worth bolstering the elemental with our spell or should we just blast the giant with something?" Afina asks Kascha as she watches the mayhem.

Anastasia · December 01, 2015, 02:15:39 PM

"Blast away," Kascha says, "Seira has a good saying for this: There's always reason to use more dragon fire!"

Go ahead and throw your action this round in, I'll describe it all once done.

Ebiris · December 01, 2015, 02:21:55 PM

"Alright," Afina says, not moving from her throne as she raises a hand and launches an orb of flame at the giant, blasting past the elemental's writhing form to slam into his chest!

[18:20] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+36 ranged touch orb of fire
[18:20] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d20+36 ranged touch orb of fire --> [ 1d20=18 ]{54}
[18:21] <@Ebiris> roll 22d6 fire, ignores resistance. DC 29 fort or dazed 1 round
[18:21] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 22d6 fire, ignores resistance. DC 29 fort or dazed 1 round --> [ 22d6=72 ]{72}

Anastasia · December 01, 2015, 02:51:51 PM

Doesn't orb of fire cap at 15 or 20 d6? Do you have something that works around it?

The elemental smashes the giant right in the side, knocking it back and right into a deftly fired orb. He catches flame, roaring in fury as he turns on the watery foe "I'm the Axeslasher!" he roars, "Undefeated! Undefeatable!"

> roll 1d20+18 giant fort
<Kobot> Kowork rolled 1d20+18 giant fort --> [ 1d20=1 ]{19}

But it's too much, the giant staggering back from the assault and dazed. Meanwhile the lead giant calls, "Get your shit together, Axeslasher!"

+2 morale to attack/weapon damage/saves for the giant. Golem and Afina are up.

Ebiris · December 01, 2015, 02:58:34 PM

Caps at 15 dice, flaming soul lets me exceed the cap on fire spells by my levels in firesoul mage. Also you keep calling it a golem but it's an elemental! Golem comes up next round!

Having used her spell for this bout, Afina leaves it entirely in the hands of her elemental. Resting an elbow on the side of her throne she cups her chin and watches with lazy interest, knowing this match is no real barometer of what's to come. Regardless the elemental is eager to capitalise on the opportunity it's been given, rearing up until it towers over the dazed giant before crashing down with the force of tons of water!

[18:57] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+13 -4pa, -4 for not being underwater
[18:57] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d20+13 -4pa, -4 for not being underwater --> [ 1d20=15 ]{28}
[18:57] <@Ebiris> roll 2d10+8 (+4 from power attack, -4 for not being underwater)
[18:57] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 2d10+8 (+4 from power attack, -4 for not being underwater) --> [ 2d10=10 ]{18}

All around the stands the crowd cheers fiercely at this energetic display of elemental mastery!

Anastasia · December 01, 2015, 05:31:50 PM

Direct hit. The giant takes it right on the chin, head cracking back from the impact. But it's enough to rouse him, the giant's battle cry shaking the stands as its axe comes to cleave the elemental apart.

> roll 1d20+29
<Kobot> Kowork rolled 1d20+29 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{44}
> roll 1d20+24
<Kobot> Kowork rolled 1d20+24 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{35}
> roll 1d20+19
<Kobot> Kowork rolled 1d20+19 --> [ 1d20=5 ]{24}
> roll 1d20+14
<Kobot> Kowork rolled 1d20+14 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{24}

> roll 4d6+20
> roll 4d6+20
> roll 4d6+20
<Kobot> Kowork rolled 4d6+20 --> [ 4d6=15 ]{35}
<Kobot> Kowork rolled 4d6+20 --> [ 4d6=18 ]{38}
<Kobot> Kowork rolled 4d6+20 --> [ 4d6=18 ]{38}
> roll 4d6+20
<Kobot> Kowork rolled 4d6+20 --> [ 4d6=13 ]{33}

I have to run to work, so does that finish your elemental off, Afina? I'll resolve it tonight.

Ebiris · December 01, 2015, 05:33:34 PM

95hp left on the elemental

Anastasia · December 01, 2015, 10:49:36 PM

The axe rips into the watery elemental, cleaving off gallons and gallons from it. "Hah," The giant spits a wad of blood out, "That's all you have, water man?" He kicks the elemental back, smirking despite blood trickling from his mouth.

Elemental's up.

Ebiris · December 02, 2015, 04:07:28 AM

In the interests of fairness Afina has a few sections of the crowd cheer for the giant's triumphant counterattack, but it's not over yet! Rearing back, the elemental powers into Axeslasher with all the unyielding inevitability of the rising tide!

[08:06] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+10 -4 not underwater, -7 power attack
[08:06] <Serith> Ebiris roll for Serith < 29 > [d20=19]
[08:06] <@Ebiris> roll 2d10+11 -4 not underwater +7 power attack
[08:06] <Serith> Ebiris roll for Serith < 22 > [d10=7,4]

Spoiler: Show

Anastasia · December 02, 2015, 01:18:04 PM

Another block rocks the giant back, knocking a tooth out along with some blood. As it reels from it, Crystal glances at the illusions. They begin to cheer louder, switching to boos as the giant rallies. "You want to play it like that, boy?"

<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 42 > [d6=3,2,2,5]

The elemental's watery head is smoothly decapitated, leaving it headless as its body is hacked up. It just barely maintains a coherent form, more a mass of moving water than an elemental. Cheers erupt from the giants at that, calls of, "Finish it!"

Go.

Ebiris · December 02, 2015, 01:27:52 PM

The elemental has no fear in its heart, knowing it is a mere summoned shadow that will face no consequence for defeat or death in this arena. And so as the crowd rallies behind it, cheering for a watery triumph, it swirls around Axeslasher like a waterspout to bash him from all angles in its last hurrah!

[17:26] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+8 -4 not underwater -9 power attack
[17:26] <Serith> Ebiris roll for Serith < 13 > [d20=5]
[17:27] <@Ebiris> roll 2d10+13 that didn't hit surely
[17:27] <Serith> Ebiris roll for Serith < 23 > [d10=6,4]

Spoiler: Show

Anastasia · December 02, 2015, 01:35:46 PM

Fearless it may be, but the giant is relentless, "Got you," he calls, axe going for a flurry of finishers.

<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 28 > [d20=4]

<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 45 > [d6=4,6,3,2]
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 45 > [d6=5,4,4,2]

The elemental is overkilled.

A final, mighty slash bisects the remaining water, causing it to vanish away. "Hah!" Axeslasher calls, as a wave of cheers comes from the giants. Crystal merely leans forward and smiles, while Kascha hmmms. Aloud she says, "This should be good."
