Incidentally, did I have to use MMoP or not?

[Anastasia]

No, you did not.

Go ahead and give me a simple reply. You're going to get focus tomorrow so we can progress this battle tomorrow, while I focus on Moore's struggle tonight.

[Corwin]

simple reply

[Anastasia]

Init is Seira (Supreme) > Haze Tarrasque (43) > Elle (31) > Oberuth = Sanzha (30) > Wolf (11)

You tear through your foe, the skeletal dragon ripped apart. In turn it falls apart, unable to resist your assault. As it falls apart magic blasts it, dissolving it into nothing. One down as you stand there and the haze tarrasque bears down on Oberuth, turning on him.

The horns do con damage but Oberuth immunes.

Improved grab.

<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 120 > [d20=6]

Oberuth is assaulted, mauled. He's bloodied as the wounds heal nigh instantly, all while with a great gulp, it bites him and swallows the former Commander down. At this the haze of the tarrasque seems to spread and...

Will all.

Waves of haze fill the battlefield as Sanzha seems to slow down, slackening beneath it as...

Elle, she'll wait on Oberuth because she suspects what he's gonna do may put him in the way of spells.

Sure enough, in a moment, the throat of the haze tarrasque is torn open. Oberuth leaps out, a single step that has him land with a soft thump on the ground. As the tarrasque reels back, Elle points dead ahead at it.

> roll 1d20+60
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 76 > [d20=16]

Maximized Queen's Displeasure. 240 damage.

The blow slashes hard into the tarrasque, a slash enough to rip deep into it. It's again wounded as Elle calls, "Keep it up. Sanzha? Sanzha!"

The former Padisha wobbles there, eyes unfocused and empty. She makes no moves at all.

Meanwhile, did you move at all from the wolf? It's up.

[Corwin]

The wolf was 30ft away from the skeletal dragon which I flamed over to melee. It is welcome to follow after! I'm in Gambit.

[Anastasia]

Fantastic. What's your reach now?

[Corwin]

5ft

[Anastasia]

The wolf charges in, and at the last moment flips up. Up and over you as from its stomach a barrage of blades rain down on you, sudden and intense.

Ref.

[Corwin]

Really, wolf?

20:12 <Seira> roll 1d20+71+12 improved evasion
20:12 <Penuche> Seira invokes Penuche's magic: < 89 > [d20=6]

[Anastasia]

I know, right?

Seira? She's just not there, a blur before she returns as the wolf lands 10ft opposite you.

Go.

[Corwin]

Seira's earlier strike is keenly felt by the wolf, but rather than take advantage of that momentary distraction Seira erects a tent of force around the wolf and dashes to aid her friends against the tarrasque!

Lingering damage:

20:21 <Seira> roll 22d6 lingering
20:21 <Penuche> Seira invokes Penuche's magic: < 72 > [d6=2,6,1,1,5,2,5,1,3,5,6,1,1,5,2,3,2,3,6,6,1,5]

Swift for Sekmid's Trap around the wolf, duration 12 rounds. Moving within range, then Fiery Leaping to get into position flanking it with Oberuth.

20:25 <Seira> roll 1d20+47 SR
20:25 <Penuche> Seira invokes Penuche's magic: < 50 > [d20=3]
20:25 <Seira> roll 15d6 Ref DC51
20:25 <Penuche> Seira invokes Penuche's magic: < 51 > [d6=1,2,5,2,6,2,2,5,6,5,3,1,4,6,1]

Attack!
20:27 <Seira> roll 1d20+70+12-1 30 MMoP, 31pa
20:27 <Penuche> Seira invokes Penuche's magic: < 94 > [d20=13]
20:28 <Seira> roll 1d6+110+19+31+23d6 and 2 str damage
20:28 <Penuche> Seira invokes Penuche's magic: < 244 > [d6=3,2,6,6,5,6,6,6,1,2,5,3,1,5,1,1,3,1,6,5,4,1,3,2]

What's with Sanzha? Spellcraft 10 for 120, Knowledges for more than that.

[Anastasia]

You think she's lost in dreams.

Sekmid's trap surrounds the creature in a cylinder of force 30ft wide and 60ft tall. If you want to put yourselves in that, that's well and good, but bear in mind the magic missiles don't discriminate and attack any creature in the cylinder.

[Corwin]

I continue staying in Gambit, though I'll use MMoP to boost my AC for the tarrasque's first three attacks on me and Wings of Cover for the next two if the attack string continues.

Also, Sanzha is seriously defeated by dreams? Despite this?

Crown of Dreams

These circlets are made by the eladrin of might by harvesting fragments of Queen Morwel's dream. It appears to be a thin, purple-red circlet set with a large ruby. The wearer is immune to sleep effects of all kinds, as well as effects that would disturb or disrupt his sleep (such as the nightmare spell). The wearer constantly sees fragments of potential from the dreams of everyone, granting them vast insight. This grants the wearer a +8 enhancement bonus to Wisdom, as well as constant true seeing.

The wolf thing:

I assumed this situation. Sanzha+Elle+Hellman+Tarrasque ----- Seira -10ft- Wolf
Thus, Sekmid's Trap is: Sanzha+Elle+Hellman+Tarrasque ----- Seira -5ft from Seira=Sekmid's Trap begins-10ft from Seira=Wolf --35ft from Seira=central point for Sekmid's Trap--65ft from Seira=Sekmid's Trap ends.
