The gift of ash

[Nephrite]

[14:21] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+54 Moore
[14:21] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 74 > [d20=20]
[14:22] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+21+18 Cresiel
[14:22] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 56 > [d20=17]
[14:22] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+18+18 Kaja
[14:22] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 42 > [d20=6]

I am assuming this guy isn't going to beat that, so...

"Are there any rules to this engagement besides, what appears to be a time limit?" Moore asks.

[Anastasia]

It doesn't matter for him in the slightest so he usually holds anyway.

Init is Moore (74) > Cresiel (56) > Kaja (42) > Armored Man (0)

"Defeat me," Is his only statement, "Try."

[Nephrite]

"There's assuredly more to this." Moore says to the others. "But let's be direct and see what happens."

Moore will cast Harmonize first in case he needs to get more songs out.

Inspire Courage: +22 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +22 morale bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls

That's it for his turn.

[Anastasia]

Cresiel will hold for one sec. Kaja's the raw offense, and if that fails Cresiel has more options wit his spellcasting to get inventive. Go Kaja.

[Nephrite]

Well, let's give this a shot then and see if I do it right.

Kaja's going to Spring Attack. Can he combine that with Dervish Dance?

[Anastasia]

No, they don't combine.

[Nephrite]

Okay, we'll just Spring Attack then.

[15:16] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+72+22 testing the waters
[15:16] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 106 > [d20=12]
[15:18] <Nephrite> roll 1d6+53+22 guessing none of his anti evil / lawful stuff applies here
[15:18] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 80 > [d6=5]

Kaja will go in, take a swipe, then move back by 30 feet.

[Anastasia]

CLANG!

Somehow the blow is parried.  Or it would be if Kaja wasn't just a hair too fast. He's good - supernaturally so, moving with a grace and skill you suspect is heavily augmented in several ways - but Kaja manages to slash his side.

Cresiel looks on and does not advance. Instead he makes a slashing gesture with his hand, as...

> roll 11#1d20+34
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 48, 37, 42, 42, 46, 38, 48, 46, 41, 40, 40 >

A few spells crumble before the soldier, who takes a defensive position, his guard up now. The platinum is flowing fast, starting to fill much of the floor. You have time but not a lot of it.

Moore.

[Nephrite]

He'll try and remove a few more - Moore's Modified Spell Theft, so two questions

1) How many dispels?
2) Any interesting spells here? Interesting = ones he's never seen before.

[Anastasia]

7 and no, it's all standard stuff. I can go into details if you want.

[Nephrite]

Nah, that is okay.

[21:41] <Nephrite> roll 7#1d20+31
[21:41] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 35, 48, 36, 51, 47, 33, 36 >

Wow, those rolls though. Well, no, I guess that was entirely average. He'll steal any spells he dispels with this.

He's adding the following on top of Inspire Courage:

+6 to attack and damage rolls, Improved Critical Feat, +18

So we're at +28 to attack and damage rolls, the Improved Critical Feat, and then +18 to threat confirmations.

Assuming nothing funny happens here, Kaja may as well go in and get some shit done, he'll Spring Attack in and then out again at 5 feet this time so he can do a full attack next turn.


[21:47] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+72+22+6 this is important first
[21:47] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 106 > [d20=6]

[21:46] <Nephrite> roll 1d6+53+22+6 guessing none of his anti evil / lawful stuff applies here
[21:46] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 86 > [d6=5]

[Anastasia]

You get Recitation, Death Ward and Mind Blank.

Kaja comes in and lands another blow, a smack that hits his other side. He stumbles from it as his magic weakens and gives, as...

Quick Fort, Kaja.

[Nephrite]

[22:02] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+35 fort Kaja
[22:02] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 45 > [d20=10]

[Anastasia]

Kaja feels dazed a moment, but the feeling passes. As platinum pours in, Cresiel clses in, his blade coming down in a sharp chop.

> roll 1d20+80
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 96 > [d20=16]
> roll 1d8+43+3d6
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 57 > [d8=4][d6=3,3,4]

Cresiel lands a solid blow on him, a ringing shot that makes him take a step back. Even as molten platinum begins to lap at your feet, more and more spreading...

Go.

[Nephrite]

Moore's going to hold in case this guy does something special.

Kaja's going to go into Dervish Dance, so do you want an attack roll for each set of this or all at once and he'll deal with the AoOs?
