The Battle of Father and Son

[Anastasia]

Yes, they can all fly.

Keep going!

Then let's go and finish him!

[Corwin]

If you're coming, then this spot is free of dimensional hijinks as far as I could tell, upon testing it, Seira tells Zaaman Rul, along with the image and coordinates of the spot by Lady Honeydip.

In Donald, Elle and Ranbar's mind, she says, Plan A had failed. Ranbar, can you finish off that guy's left side? Donald, we'll try to thin out the opposition in melee. Elle, I'll let you know how the situation is in a moment, so hang in there

I'm good!

Ranbar is up.

"I will, Seira," Ranbar exclaims, praying softly. She stands amid fire and casts, explosions of stars ripping amid the group.

Cunning breach for no SR. DC is 30.

Imix can't fail the save.

Okay, Asgeroth takes one straight through, which deals...300 damage.

The Star Explosions rip through them - Imix stands there and endures, battered but barely, taking the shot. Asgeroth stumbles, a burst of healing magic bringing him back from the brink. He's bleeding profusely, a hand on his chest as...

Mini dragon is up in the next post.

[Anastasia]

A moment, a flex of power as suddenly the dragon utters a strange word, a tiny scale atop it's head glowing and...

Quick question, are you in range to counterspell? If you are, you're welcome to try.

It's invoking a time stop SLA.

[Corwin]

No, to my regret.

Maximized empowered delayed blast fireballs, searing. Pain.

That's a base of 180 damage and he made the save so down to 90, then 45 after searing since fire immune. No failed saves, so 45*8 is....360. Ow.

A flash of fire, all at once - a familiar spell, delayed blast fireballs utterly consuming Donald. When it clears he's burned and blackened all over, but still up. "Yeah...you got more?" he taunts, beckoning for them to come forward.

At this a voice booms from above, "Your defeat is here. Come face me, coward!" Zaaman Rul declares, appearing by Honeydip.

Imix looks up with an open glare, "A battle of father and son," he sneers, "Except you hide behind the skirts of a woman!"

Chance to react, Imix in the next post.

"Actually, I'm wearing a sensible pair of adventurer's pants!" Seira proclaims. "No way would I be caught dead flying above a creep like you in a skirt!"

[Anastasia]

Imix roars, a roar of fury and contempt, tendrils lashing into Donald like a flurry of flaming whips.

Donald HP: 344/792

Doing damage roll by roll since various abilities play in.

Donald HP: 183/792

Fortunate Fate trips.

Donald HP: -1/792

Unkillable trips on attack 3.

> roll 1d20+13 Unkillable vs DC 10
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 33 > [d20=20]

Donald HP: 1/792.

Attack 4's damage is assumed to be fatal obviously, so Unkillable trips again.

> roll 1d20+13 Unkillable vs DC 13
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 28 > [d20=15]

Donald HP: 1/792.

Attack 5, same as 4.

> roll 1d20+13 Unkillable vs DC 16
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 21 > [d20=8]

Attack 6, last one, same as 4.

> roll 1d20+13 Unkillable vs DC 19
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 25 > [d20=12]

Donald survives that with 1 HP. Somehow.

Donald is battered, flayed. His flesh is burned but somehow he stands there, stands and grins even as his face is a burnt ruin, oozing blood. "G...gu...got more?"

The glare Imix gives him is pure hate before, "Next time," he howls, "You all DROWN IN FLAMES!" His voice is yet heard, before abruptly, all of them vanish.

Did...did you do it? Did you win?

Free act. Lessons learned on both sides, that was one hell of a brutal one rounder and two utterly vicious and powerful plans smashing into each other.

YOU COWARD! GET BACK HERE, IMIX!

[Anastasia]

BASTARD! COME BACK HERE AND FACE YOUR DEFEAT, IMIX!

[Anastasia]

Meanwhile Donald floats there, ever so slowly healing, watching on and somehow still in one piece.

[Corwin]

Seira drops to the void where Donald is floating, and heals him back to full, so furious she cannot speak.

[Anastasia]

As Donald's wounds heal you see his face slowly knit back to normal. "That...hurt," he finally gets out, spitting blood out. "I'm okay, though. You okay? Elle okay?"

[Corwin]

"Elle is the safest of us all," Seira says with some difficulty, forming her face into a neutral expression rather than the scowl Donald doesn't deserve. She mentally tells Elle it is safe to exist the sphere, and waves Ranbar and Honeydip over.

[Anastasia]

Ranbar flies over quickly, "That...that was incredible," she calls to you as she flies in. "I didn't....I've never seen a spell reach that far, that powerfully!"

Meanwhile Elle descends as well, all while Donald says, "Yeah. Asshole got away, though," he rubs his chin, "Hey Zaaman, did you castrate him the last time you fought, 'cause he has no balls."

Zaaman Rul glares where Imix was, "I've never once made him retreat like that," he finally says aloud, coming to your side. "Not like that. Not like that, not that fast." His own voice is angry, the flames of rage burning within them.

MOTHER LAUGHS AT YOUR WEAKNESS, IMIX!
