Fairy waltz

[Anastasia]

What's the d100 for?

[Nephrite]

I assumed he was going to get AoO'ed like every other time he moved, so it was a pre-emptory miss chance roll.

[Anastasia]

That should have been more obvious to me. Whoops.

Kaja hurries along, hurries - and he's out of sight of Moore now. Gone? Sylvie follows, even as the blades come for her.

> roll 1d20+140 (+5 ???)
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+140 (+5 ???) --> [ 1d20=17 ]{157}
> roll 6d6+120+3d6
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 6d6+120+3d6 --> [ 6d6=18 3d6=13 ]{151}

Sylvie runs, desperate - slashed again, yet she lives. She's okay as she vanishes as well, out of Moore's sight.

At last. Just the two of us, Moore.

Moore. Shar isn't doing anything that you can see.

[spoiler]

He's also going to use his move action to Inspire Excellence - everyone gets +16 competence bonus to Constitution. If we're going to fight, we're going to fight. Of course, now I have to do math, so let me see...

+16 competence to Constitution ends up being a +8 modifier to everyone's total Constitution, so that's... I believe everyone gains 288 Hit points, does that sound right?
So 14d10 for the first part, which was rolled. Kaja's Constitution is at +10 normally, adding +16 to his score brings it up to a +18 bonus. 14 hit dice x 18 con bonus =  252, plus the 14d10s gives us 355.

Buffs currently:

+22 morale bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls
+18 to Dodge AC, +18 Morale bonus to Saves
+6 to attack and damage rolls, Improved Critical Feat, +18 to threat confirmation rolls
They also gain +14 Attack rolls and +7 competence to fort saves.

Total Buffs:

+45 to attack rolls
+28 to damage rolls
+Improved Critical Feat
+18 to threat confirms for crits
Immune to any spell or effect that would inflict negative emotions, such as fear or the effects of symbol of hopelessness. Also immune to fear.
Fast healing 11, and gain damage reduction 11/-.
+16 Charisma.

Notes:

[Nephrite]

You still haven't explained what you've done with Mask. Though I suppose I wouldn't believe you even if you did tell me - either you took him by force or he submitted to your will.

I truly do feel sorry for you, Shar. I can't imagine what it must be like to have been given the burden of being the deity that oversees Hopelessness and loss. You've seen so much loss yourself... I will bring you hope one day.

He's going to double-move. I've been forgetting about some other spells on him so his AC will be 159 for this next move.

[Anastasia]

You begin to move, but then she is there. She blocks your way, now at the ready. Shar's avatar, this time in leather armor and tight fitting no less. Her hair is long, black and straight. Her eyes are closed, both swords at the ready.

"Did you think I'd let you escape, Moore? Do you think I couldn't close your escape at any time? I've been playing with you this entire battle, but playtime is over now that it's just the two of us."

You've just begun to move so you can try and react. She seems to block your way squarely, firmly in the path.

[Nephrite]

I should have plenty of room to go around her, I would think, right? Well, assuming she doesn't have more bullshit.

"I've already put cracks in your weapons." Moore says. "If I destroy them here and now, even though they're just copies, what does that say? Is that something you want to test?"

Are you both safe?

[Anastasia]

Certainly so, you'd just need to adjust and slow down. Assuming she doesn't have means to intercept of course, which is a big if.

Shar merely smiles. It's a lovely smile, pretty even now. "An acceptable loss. It says that you've truly captured my interest, Moore. Whatever game Erathaol and the Hebdomad play with you, it ends today."

We're alive. Cresiel's just ahead.

[Nephrite]

Do they still look cracked? The weapons, I mean.

I seem to have caught Shar's personal interest this time.

[Anastasia]

They still do.

Get out of there Moore, now!

[Nephrite]

She's kind of in the way! I'm working on it!

Moore's attention turns to Shar and he shakes his head.

I said I rejected everything about you. I pity you in a way I don't think you can ever understand. I can't die here today and don't plan on it.

His face becomes the steel of hope.

I reject your hopelessness!

[22:38] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+67
[22:38] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 1d20+67 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{71}

He's aiming to try and destroy the weapons again with his ability. That was a Charisma check.

[22:40] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+17+15 Con
[22:40] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 1d20+17+15 Con --> [ 1d20=20 ]{52}

con check if it's needed.

I'm not sure if his move got interrupted, but he was going to take "the rest of it" if he can pending this.

Also not sure if I need to roll the Con again.

[Anastasia]

You did. 70 damage.

Moore moves as he speaks. His voice is powerful and the swords crack further - but they aren't broken yet. Second time isn't the charm, indeed.

Yet Shar is there, even with her blades damaged deeply. Her blade strikes, both of them together in one deadly blow to slice you into pieces.

Hope can't deny reality, Moore. Rest now.

> roll 1d20+140 (+5 ???)
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+140 (+5 ???) --> [ 1d20=18 ]{158}
> roll 1d20+140 (+5 ???) crit?
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+140 (+5 ???) crit? --> [ 1d20=14 ]{154}

AC? Miss chance if needed?

[Nephrite]

159 currently, whew.

He is immune to crits, not sure if she will still hit since it's a crit, but

[11:41] <Nephrite> roll 1d100
[11:41] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=11 ]{11}

Well now it's moot.

[Anastasia]

You're stopped - but you dodge Shar's blade. Barely, a jet backwards to dodge her.

Slowly Shar licks her lips as hundreds of knives of shadow form, seeking to impale you from all directions. Little black blades of death, each one seeking some vital part of you.

She can't fail SR here, so Ref.

[Nephrite]

[12:04] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+54+18+31 evasion
[12:04] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 1d20+54+18+31 evasion --> [ 1d20=14 ]{117}

+from the bardic musics, charisma booster etc.

[Anastasia]

Moore manages to dodge them, only to see reality rip behind him as a torrent of raw shadow stuff sprays out over his back. As you dodge daggers you have to try and endure, parrying and weaving away from them even as - !

Fort too.
