Venckman the "shadowy form" casts and a lightning bolt shoots out from the tip of its wing, obviously directed at 60n60e90z. Venckman then continues flying to 55n75e50z heading north.

Round 121

The lightning bolt has no effect (18 CL check).

Greybar · 17th May 2006, 06:45 PM

Michaela appears, retaliating with a Holy Smite.

SLA - Holy Smite on Venckman.
MEA - from 60n60e90z to 20n60e110z

PJSlavner · 17th May 2006, 07:03 PM

The holy smite has no effect (20 CL check).

Infiniti2000 · 17th May 2006, 07:07 PM

Venckman flies to 25n55e110z heading south.

Greybar · 17th May 2006, 07:59 PM

Michaela, surprised after thinking the thing couldn't move that fast, attempts a get-away..

Spoiler:

SLA Invisibility (cast Defensively so as to avoid AoO) and then

"Michaela, surprised after thinking the thing couldn't move that fast..."

heh heh

Venckman takes the AoO anyway as Michaela flies away. Trip attack (provokes an AoO itself if Michaela is armed). Venckman's following action depends on the results of the trip and the final location of both combatants.

Score one for NE. I hope.

PJSlavner · 17th May 2006, 10:26 PM

Does Michaela take the AoO as Venckman tries to trip her?

Greybar · 18th May 2006, 12:21 AM

Sure.

Mace him!

Gansk · 18th May 2006, 09:13 AM

Michaela beans Venckman for 18 (rolled 37, 62%). Venckman has 163 hp.

Venckman makes contact (rolled 29 touch) and trips Michaela (20 vs. 14 trip).

Michaela drops to the ground, prone at 20N60E, taking 38 points of damage in the process.

Michaela has 13 hp left. Michaela has a standard action remaining.

PJSlavner · 18th May 2006, 02:09 PM

Gansk, did you take away two points of damage from Michaela's attack? She still is suffering from breathing in the nightmare's choking smoke.

We were half a round away from a draw.

Gansk · 18th May 2006, 03:57 PM

No, I did not. Venckman has 165 hp.

Michaela used up her standard action casting SLA invisibility, right?

PJSlavner · 18th May 2006, 04:07 PM

Yes, she did. It is Venckman's turn.

Greybar · 18th May 2006, 05:53 PM

... and only too late do I realize the negative of accepting the AoO ...
(not that it may matter too much really, but another good lesson)

Infiniti2000 · 18th May 2006, 06:55 PM

OOC: What's the negative consequence? If you don't take the AoO, there's no difference except no damage to Venckman, right? The draw was avoided by the fall.

(although I realize Michaela can't see Venckman, I thought the following analysis would interest Greybar...)

Venckman circles around tightly, dropping in altitude. He ends up at 30z (drop of 80 which is 40ft of movement for double speed) and spiraling around for 50ft (total 90ft movement--hasted don'tchya know), puts him at 25n60e30z heading northeast. (Note that at average maneuverability, he can go down at 60 degrees, and taking 80/tan(60) is 46.2, so he must move laterally at least 50ft--which he just makes.) -- interesting, no?

Anyway, at that point, Venckman moans a nauseating moan centered in a cone at 20n60e.
