Gearing up (Moore, Ithea)

[Nephrite]

"Well, either way, we need to dispel it or just break through. I think, considering, breaking through is the easiest." Moore says. "I can give you all a bit of an oomph if you'd like to go that route."

[Merc]

"Well, the only way to find out is to charge at the wall with all we have and try to break through. I recommend we all gather some distance and then charge together, timing our attack as best we can. Moore, if you can boost us with your magic, that might help as well. Going around this force field would be a waste of time, and there's always that potential that the ship is inside as you both said."

Ithea begins to put some distance back, judging for an attack. "Whenever you've made your preparations, one of you give the go command, and we'll attack, try to break through."

ooc: Ithea will use True Strike (automatic quick cast) with Power Attack+Charge, arcane strike of a level 5 spell, channel shocking grasp, and use her ring's ability to add some bonus electric damage. I'll wait for Moore's bonus as well before rolling.

[Anastasia]

Okay, that's fine. Once you have it, go ahead and make your attack roll (in case of a natural 1) and then the damage roll.

[Nephrite]

"All right, everyone, focus your attacks and let's get through this!" Moore calls out, inspiring his allies with courage! While doing so, he gently strums his harp to give them some much-needed confidence as well!

Inspire Courage sans Word of Creation, +5 on attack and weapon damage rolls.

Along with that, everyone gets +2 more on attack rolls. In addition, his aura provides +1 to attack rolls as well, so everyone has +8 on attack and +5 on damage.

[Merc]

Ithea waits for Stille and Crystal to give note that they're in place and ready, giving her own once her preparations are done. Then she just awaits for a signal from one of them and charges in, glaive flying ahead of her with its reach, charged with lightning and arcane might, a feline propelled bullet attempting to pierce through the wall in front of her.

[12:03] <Sailor_Mercury> roll d20+53 atk
[12:03] <Kobot> Sailor_Mercury rolled d20+53 atk --> [ 1d20=8 ]{61}
[12:04] <Sailor_Mercury> roll d10+20+5d4+33+5 dmg

[12:05] <Sailor_Mercury> roll 7d6 (shocking)
[12:05] <Kobot> Sailor_Mercury rolled 7d6 (shocking) --> [ 7d6=17 ]{17}

Shocking damage = 1.5*17 = 25 dmg

Spoiler: ShowHide

Attack: +40 (normal) + 5 (arcane strike) + 2 (charge) + 20 (true strike) + 8 (bard) - 22 (power attack) = +53 atk

bonus damage: 1.5*7d6 (electric)

Used Lv 1 x2 / Lv5 x1 spells. Used ring of storms.

[Anastasia]

Stille flies forward, right by Ithea. He rears his fist back, crackling with lightning as he mimics Ithea.

Using arcane channeling for a 3d6 shocking grasp. No SR needed. Also, his motivate ardor aura overlaps with Moore's, so no extra damage there.

> roll 1d20+20 (+8 Moore, -22 PA)
<Kobot> Ko-NitorisImpossibleDemand rolled 1d20+20 (+8 Moore, -22 PA) --> [ 1d20=14 ]{34}
> roll 1d8+45 (+22 PA, +5 Moore)
<Kobot> Ko-NitorisImpossibleDemand rolled 1d8+45 (+22 PA, +5 Moore) --> [ 1d8=4 ]{49}
> roll 3d6 shocking grasp
<Kobot> Ko-NitorisImpossibleDemand rolled 3d6 shocking grasp --> [ 3d6=10 ]{10}

At the same time, Crystal rears back for a charge, before barreling right at the other side of Ithea, hitting with all her might.

> roll 1d20+45 (+2 charge, +8 Moore) unfortunately no PA hurts her here
<Kobot> Ko-NitorisImpossibleDemand rolled 1d20+45 (+2 charge, +8 Moore) unfortunately no PA hurts her here --> [ 1d20=6 ]{51}
> roll 2d6+32
<Kobot> Ko-NitorisImpossibleDemand rolled 2d6+32 --> [ 2d6=8 ]{40}

All three blows barrel into the force sphere head on. Visible cracks appears, straining as those and the wall immediately around it becomes seen to all. It's badly cracked, faltering - and the cracks are already starting to shrink and vanish, your combined strikes insufficient.

[Nephrite]

Moore rubs his chin.

"Well, I think we're close. If you'll all try again, I have an idea that I think will work! You all strike it, and I'll point out the weakness in the wall's strength and get you all to strike there." Moore says with a nod to them all. "So just try once more!"

The plan is to use Rally Attack once they all hit it for the first time.

[Anastasia]

Okay, what's rally attack do? Refresh me.

[Nephrite]

Benefit: You can provoke a sudden rally of attacks in your allies. Once per day as a standard action, the marshal can allow all allies within 30ft to immediately make a single melee or ranged attack (but not a spell or spell-like ability). This counts as a creature's attack of opportunity for the round, so a creature cannot make an extra attack if they have already made their maximum number of attacks of opportunity in a round. The marshal is not affected by his own use of rally attack.

[Anastasia]

Okay. I'll wait on Ithea to lead the next attack and then the followup with Rally Attack.

[Nephrite]

Roger dodger.

[Merc]

Ithea nods curtly, a bit disappointed the first wave of attacks didn't fell the force shield. As she takes her distance, she repeats her actions again except she casts the true strike spell normally before she charges. This time, in addition to preparing herself for Moore's rally, she will cast a Disintegrate spell the instant she connects with the force field.

The disintegrate may not be needed when combined with the rally of Moore, but it'd be worse if they kept expending resources and found themselves failing again.

Almost same as last time (adding a quick cast of disintegrate into mix). I did 2x PA damage this time, last time I did 1.5x so I missed out on 11 damage.

Also, for disintegrate, normally it says objects including force fields are just disintegrated in a 10ft square. Wasn't sure if I needed to roll damage or not as if it was a target, so I just rolled the damage so you have it handy if that was the case instead.

Attack:
[13:23] <Merc-zzz> roll d20+53 atk
[13:23] <Kobot> Merc-zzz rolled d20+53 atk --> [ 1d20=18 ]{71}

[13:23] <Kobot> Merc-zzz rolled d10+20+5d4+44+5 dmg --> [ 1d10=5 5d4=11 ]{85}

Shocking Grasp:
[13:23] <Merc-zzz> roll 7d6
[13:23] <Kobot> Merc-zzz rolled 7d6 --> [ 7d6=30 ]{30}
(1.5x damage on electricity, so 45 dmg)

Disintegrate:
[13:24] <Merc-zzz> roll 40d6
[13:24] <Kobot> Merc-zzz rolled 40d6 --> [ 40d6=134 ]{134}

They all strike - and it is indeed unneeded. The moment disintegration hits it, the entire thing simply flashes and vanishes, gone even from Ithea's enhanced sight. Stille blinks once, "Ah yes, the traditional weakness of walls of force. We should have started there."

[Nephrite]

Moore was about to call out to strike the barrier again, but alas, it wasn't needed at all.

[Merc]

"Probably," Ithea says to Stille. "Last minute thought, unfortunately."

"Anyway, let's go in quickly and explore. Always possible someone will try to pinpoint our entrance once they realize the field is down."
