The gift of ash

[Nephrite]

"Let's show the pinnacle of the mountain what its custodians are capable of!" Moore shouts, empowering his allies even further than they've already been empowered!

Inspire Heroics:

[14:40] <Nephrite> roll 14d10
[14:40] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 75 > [d10=7,5,4,3,2,9,5,5,6,4,1,10,8,6]

Moore: 201 temp HP
Cresiel: 303
Kaja: 215

In addition, they also get +14 Attack rolls, +7 fort saves.

Thus having empowered them, he focuses his attention on Quasar - he's going to weave the fabric of fate against it so its less of a threat to his friends!

Melody of Misfortune - -5 to attacks, saves, skills for one enemy, no save.

He's also going to use an immediate action to boost the Inspire Courage bonus everyone still has lingering by +2.

[Anastasia]

Give me a special check. 1d20 + your effective bard level for bardic music + divine rank.

[14:59] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+40
[14:59] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 60 > [d20=20]

I mean you can never say no to a 20...

[Anastasia]

Your song goes through undisturbed, despite an odd, high pitched sound as...

Kaja.

[Nephrite]

Before I do these rolls, I want to verify how Thousand Cuts works - Do I basically make 2 attacks for each swing? I.e. I'm not making "eight" attacks, so the rolls wouldn't be (as an example) +75/70/65/60/55/50/45/40, but instead be 75/75/70/70 (etc)?

[Anastasia]

You double the number of attacks you make, which means more rolls.

[Nephrite]

Right, that part I get - I am trying to understand if I roll it as if I'm making 8 attacks (so a descending of 5 over 8 rolls) like so:

roll 1d20+70
roll 1d20+65
...
roll 1d20+40

Or is it like this:

roll 2#1d20+70
roll 2#1d20+65
roll 2#1d20+60
roll 2#1d20+55

[Nephrite]

I am going to make the assumption that he hits and crits on all of these. If I need to go back and redo it I can.

Assuming everything hit that is 3910 damage. Forgot the damage from two weapon rend. So 3971.

Let's hope he doesn't have some sort of "I do my damage back to you" gimmick!!!

[Anastasia]

You poor son of a bitch.

Make a Fort save.

Thank goodness (hopefully) for song bonuses!!!

[Anastasia]

Kaja's blade comes down - and there's a flash of lightning. Both him and Quasar are thrown back and down, plummeting into the platinum, splashing down into it.

"...I don't believe that was supposed to happen," Cresiel notes.

Those times where you're strong enough to make saves that weren't meant to be made.

[Nephrite]

"I'll... get Quasar?" Moore offers. "Can you get Kaja?"

[Anastasia]

Cresiel hops down, no hesitation in the least, diving for Kaja.

[Nephrite]

Moore flies down after Quasar, and will use his divine will to move the platinum out of the way if needed.

He's not sure if hostilities have technically ceased here or not, but it's the good thing to do, so he's doing it.

[Anastasia]

It's not hard to fish them out, between your powers and enhanced abilities. Both are returned to the walkway. Quasar looks about slowly, "How hard did you hit me?"

Kaja slowly rubs the side of his head, "How hard did you hit me?" he echos.
