The Battle of Father and Son

[Corwin]

Post, just so it's not forgotten.

[Corwin]

A few fixes for my team! Adjusted the HP and Bonuses lines. Not sure whether you want all the spells active listed there as it's a fairly long list. Please let me know.

If anyone uses a shield, my Shield of Warding would add +5 to Touch AC/Regular AC, and +1 to Ref Saves.

Foresight ensures they're not flat-footed.

Greater Arcane Sight means they can roll their own CL checks on Imix's stuff and that covering his dudes, so please have them try and tell me via prayer!

Noted on that. Go ahead and list the spells, it won't hurt.

Since greater arcane sight is to reach and it's your CL, roll the checks for them real quick?

[Corwin]

19:31 <CC> roll 1d20+34 Elle
19:31 <Penuche> CC invokes Penuche's magic: < 52 > [d20=18]
19:31 <CC> roll 1d20+34 Donald
19:31 <Penuche> CC invokes Penuche's magic: < 54 > [d20=20]
19:31 <CC> roll 1d20+34 Ranbar
19:31 <Penuche> CC invokes Penuche's magic: < 51 > [d20=17]

Glorious rolls! This better tell me some cool stuff, if only on the minions and not Imix himself.

Also, what caster level is the dimensional lock-like spell? Do I get any decent information on it, such as a built-in weakness that can be evaded with UMD or what not, since Team Imix might've left a loophole for their own dimensional travel?

[Anastasia]

No joy on the CL checks.

Before you ask (entirely fairly) why I bothered to have you roll even if a 20 wouldn't do it? Purely information control in case you were pondering a dispel or similar thing. Didn't want to tip the hand of the high CL here - remember, something like non detection is 11 + spell level. If that or something similar is the underlying mechanic, you begin to see why it's so high. So at least the roll got you information, even if not the information you wanted.

Seira contests her magic against Imix's - for a moment all of reality is Imix's hate and Seira's magic, the two clashing. It's like tasting the contempt of a raging inferno, like bitter ashes in your mouth. It's a short, brutal struggle until Imix's spell powers through, spreading out far and wide.

In the aftermath of that, Imix points right at you, "Surrender what you've taken," he growls, as suddenly - !!!

Imix is now casting superb dispelling. Are you going to try and counter that one?

[Corwin]

I will let spell turning work, will counterspell if Imix has bullshit.

[Anastasia]

Aaand congratulations, both of you have spell turning up. That means it's a d100 to see what happens.

> roll 1d100 both of you have spell turning up
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 92 > [d100=92]

Both spell turning effects are nonfunctional for...

> roll 1d4
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 1 > [d4=1]

1 minute.

Magic crackles amid the two of you. Like a storm of power, the superb dispelling bouncing back and forth a dozen times - until with a crack of to thunder, both of the spells are left reeling, nonfunctional.

Yet Imix is relentless. He merely points at you again as...

Multiaction plus duskblade quickening shenanigans are a thing. He's doing Superb Dispelling a second time now that spell turning is down. Going to try and counter?

[Corwin]

"Not today!" Seira calls out, cancelling it with her own.

[Anastasia]

Using your own super dispelling, just to be perfectly clear here?

[Corwin]

Yes, to ensure 100% counterspelling.

[Anastasia]

With that utterance, the spell is smoothly countered, similar forces cancelling out. Amid the backlash of that...

Init is Imix (72) > Primal Fire Elemental 2 (52) > Donald = Primal Fire Elemental 1 (33) > Magul the Mad (32) > Seira = Asgeroth (29) > Elle (25) > Ranbar (19) > Mini Dragon (16)

The second primal fire elemental is staying there, shielding Imix and taking a defensive posture. As that happens, the first does the same and...

Donald.

'This is gonna be good,' Donald sends to you, 'You going forward after him?'

[Corwin]

Can you take out Magul? Seira asks Donald in his mind. I don't want him counterspelling myself or Elle before we get a chance to cut loose. Either drop him, or prepare to bust him to interrupt his spells.

[Anastasia]

'Can try,' Donald sends right back, flying in. 'Don't worry, I can take it.' Thus Donald soars ahead and...

Provokes AoOs from the elementals and Imix.

Somehow, Imix's lash of flame, a tendril really, reaches as far as the elemental's. All three strike at once. Imix's lashes Donald'a cross the side, burning and striking hard. A shield block stops one elemental at the same time, but the second checks into Donald hard, stopping his charge cold. He wobbles a moment, a sitting duck before he barks out a few arcane words that...

Charge hit stand still, alas. Using his swifts.

The first bolsters himself directly, a simple true strike. The second...

> roll 1d20 ranged touch
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 20 > [d20=20]
> roll 1d20 ranged touch crit?
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 15 > [d20=15]

...is the purple ray of energy drain, going right for Magul. Whatever he is now, draining his energy has no visible effect as...

Magul, who is holding. Seira and Asgeroth, go.

Recitation and Celestial Valor, obviously. Channeled spell is Chain Dispel again (move action).

Elle, I'm waiting on you, Seira thinks to the redhead. Fly up and gain a bit of distance. Position yourself within three hundred feet of me but farther from the enemy so that they don't get caught up in the Time Stop.

I'm holding for Elle.
