Meeting lost family (Jaela)

[Anastasia]

Jaela reacts on pure instinct, dodging Hanna's strike by an inch. Meanwhile your brother turns on Baleruk, taking a big swing as he takes to the air to close in.

WHAM! Baleruk takes it right on the snout, making his head stop cold. For a moment Baleruk seems stunned, perhaps at the sheer gall your brother shows.

Go Jaela.

[Anastasia]

Quick update. I'd normally edit posts for this, but I'll do it here. I misread Jaela's AC, so that is actually a hit, pending miss chance.

<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d100 vs 20 --> [ 1d100=43 ]{43}

<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 3d6+31+1d6 nonlethal --> [ 3d6=9 1d6=4 ]{44}

Unfortunately, as Jaela turns to act, she lets her guard down. An axe to the head follows, the flat of it smashing right into her face. OW! Stars are seen as she struggles to recover from it.

Go.

[Corwin]

Jaela spits the blood accumulating in her mouth to the ground, laughing. "What a fucking cheap shot," she says mockingly, a flip of her wings raising her above her mother as she hovers there for a moment, observing things. Baleruk is in the same boat, so that's nice!

"Gae Trocaire!" she calls out, and her trusted spear of mercy comes at her command. Lowering its tip at her mother, she doesn't hesitate in striking back while leaving herself open to any and all retaliations!

57+64+54+58-15x4 (dr) = 173 damage after DR

I'm in gambit

[Anastasia]

Hanna grins as you smack her around, blows staggering her as you jab her hard. Each blow knocks her good, but she takes them all and stays up, wounds already healing. Spitting out blood herself, "Not bad, Jaela!"

Meanwhile, Baleruk ROARS and goes for your brother, mouth first.

> roll 2d8+14
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 2d8+14 --> [ 2d8=6 ]{20}

It ends up something of a headbutt, knocking him back to the ground and making him see stars. "Heh, not bad," Your brother says, readying another swing. But Mom's faster, axe coming for your face again.

Axe, meet head. Head, meet axe. Again. You see stars all over again, nose trickling blood as Hanna takes the worst that you have and keeps going. Fortunately, you block the rest of her strikes after, rolling with it and shaking your head clear.

Meanwhile...

Your brother leaps up and jabs at Baleruk's head over half a dozen times, but can't manage a single, solid blow. "Damn dragons," he says, "Head harder than steel!"

Go.

[Corwin]

"Now that's skill!" Jaela comments, this time in admiration. She doesn't prevent it from striking back, although perhaps it does hold her hand a bit to allow for a longer bout....

Still in gambit. Fast healing 3, so healing 6 (this round and previous) while damage is: 44-20+42-20-6 = 40 nonlethal

Fresh damage to Hanna: 59+56+59 = 174 nonlethal. Gae Trocaire bypasses her DR for this round and 9 after it.

[Corwin]

Just remembered she has 2 kinds of DR. It bypasses the conventional 15/evil+epic one, dunno how it'd work with the other.

[Anastasia]

How does your weapon bypass DR?

[Corwin]

Transmuting weapon

[Anastasia]

It doesn't bypass DR/-, so that applies. There's no way to bypass it, so it can't morph into something that doesn't exist.

Also from houserules, this isn't relevant here but worth mentioning.

18: Transmuting beats typical damage reduction descriptors (adamantine, cold iron, silver, good, evil, lawful, chaotic) without difficulty. Unique damage reduction, such as possessed by an abomination, is not bypassed by a transmuting weapon.

So what's the total damage then?

[Corwin]

174-7x3 = 153 from this round

[Anastasia]

Init is Hanna = Brother > Jaela > Baleruk.

Jaela batters Hanna ruthlessly, beating her around and knocking her back. Blow after blow hits her, but it only makes her rage harder. She's still up despite a broken nose and eyes swelling shut. Meanwhile Baleruk glares down at your brother, before he unleashes his full fury on him.

Your brother's knocked around by Baleruk, smacked by claw backhands, tail thumped and headbutted to the ground. He gets up with a groan, rubbing the side of his head. But you don't have time for anything more, as suddenly AXE TO THE FACE.

Jaela tastes blood as the flat of Hanna's axe again hits her in the face. The warm, wet sensation running down her mouth and chin tells her that her nose gave up the ghost, and the pain in her jaw suggests it's broken. Between all this, you largely miss you brother teeing off on Baleruk, leaping to his feet and trading blows with him.

He manages to leap up, holding on to Baleruk's head. He pummels it and then climbs atop, before leaping up and slamming his foot into the top of Baleruk's skull. It sends him crashing into the roof of his house, timbers breaking under Baleruk's jaw. Amid this as they continue to brawl...

Go.

[Corwin]

Enough is enough, Jaela decides. Her mother can't win, and the situation reminds her uncomfortably of her own while faced with ridiculously powerful foes. A Duke of Hell, an evil Archomental... she could hurt them, and withstand their attacks for a while. But the outcome won't be in doubt.

[Anastasia]

You beat Hanna down ruthlessly, her weakened guard enough for your blows to hit home. By the last of them she's already falling over, rage relenting as she falls to the ground. She's out cold.

Gambit counters were enough. Go.

[Corwin]

Jaela catches her mother and lays her out on the ground comfortably before making her way to the other duel. She stops a comfortable ten feet away from her brother, close enough to be a tempting target as well as a distraction should she wish it. It is up to Baleruk whether he makes use of her presence, however, and she doesn't intend to intervene in such matters uninvited.

Moving into a flanking position.

[Anastasia]

Baleruk thrusts up with your brother still on him - and then he calls, "Enough, I yield," he says easily, hopping off Baleruk and landing on the ground, "One month of repairs is enough, thanks."

Free act, he knows when the odds don't bear it out.
