Death of the Dragons

[Vertexx69]

Grabhar, HP41/59, AC 34/F27/T21 Saves: F5 R9 W6

OOC - Ok so the weretiger stops grappling with Grabhar (we are still both prone) getting up from prone is a move action that provokes an AoO, so how is he attacking me twice?

Taking a swipe with one of his own claws as the monstrous beast climbs off him, Claw vs prone AC=18, 1d8+6=10. Another peal of fire arcs off of the grounded spearsage as the enemy claw connects, but Grabhar's wounds start to close even as the weretiger's claw starts to leave his flesh, Touch=11, fire dmg=16but the flame misses the beast.

I don't need to stand up as Grabhars action is to vanish in a puff of sickening smoke to reappear a moment later 20ft in the air and 30ft back from the weretiger flying in a defensive position. (Gotta love Shadow Jaunt.)

[Neurotic]

HP 48/61; AC 22/F18/T22; Saves F 12; R 12; W 10(12 vs. enchant) Stunning fists 4/5


Reacting to attacker behind him, Marius turns in place crouching low with wide spread arms and sweeping the leg outwards hitting the beast just over its ankles at exact moment it landed. Disbalancing it, Marius catches it's arm raising upwards and throws the beast overhead. Controling its fall Marius drops it over its fallen comrade. He finishes the move planting firmly his leg back on ground ending in same position he started from.

The dragon sweeps its tail.

OOC details

Step of the wind gives +2 to hit and +4 to trip attempt and prevents return trip attempt (effectively giving improved trip)
Mighty throw: touch attack; DEX check for trip (don't forget tiger gets +4 if Large) gives +4 to trip attempt

Touch Attack(1d20+16=19); Dexterity check for trip (1d20+14=19) Bleh really terrible rolls for tripping, at least it's touch attack

OOC: if possible I'd like to slam him into the tree where I put the first one down. If not just put him brain first onto fallen one.

OOC2: vampiric crystal returns 1hp to Marius on hit that's why he's on 48 instead of 47

OOC: did you notice that automatic notification stopped working? Or is it just me?

[Voidrazor]

Annoyed at the other weretiger's resistance to her psychic manipulation, Haereka refocuses her attention on the one squaring off against War. "Surrender, now. This is your last and only chance."

OOC: Suggestion again DC: 16

[hellrazor111]

Hey guy, I'm sorry its been a month since I've updated, first I was sick, and now, I've kinda lost the want to play D&D, just give to this weekend to update. Again, sorry.

[Vertexx69]

OOC - should we take over the other characters until the fight is over, then go back and recruit more players? I think Neurotic and me are the only ones that check in with any kind of regularity.

But if you're not into it, its not really going to get anywhere HR.

[Neurotic]

Is this kind of "wait, I always recover and later WANT to play" or more like "Sorry, bye bye"?

[Voidrazor]

OOC: I'm still around and interested.

[hellrazor111]

Remember what I said before we started, there may be down times, but I wont give up on the campaign. I will recover, it's just a loss of motivation because I've been away from D&D for so long, but its coming back as I develop an Elder Evil Campaign. And if any of you want to you can take over the other characters, or I can keep running them. And after this encounter we'll get more people.

[Neurotic]

[sblock = OOC For all]
hellrazor, get recruiting post up, maybe someone wants to take over existing character(s)?

And I can ask in other games I'm playing if someone is interested. I could take over one, maybe War if someone will point me to where artificer can be found and what is packmate - class feature? feat?

There is no mention of details in his RG sheet.

I'll wait while you say we can continue.

May I suggest we move this discussion to OOC thread?
[/sblock]

[Vertexx69]

Im pretty sure I can take over Alariass. (Although I'm not familiar Hnarvan's Prayer Book.)

The ancient mystic will take a moment (move action) to gain psionic focus, and then spend it to summon his personal 5th lvl astral construct (with extra attack and pounce) in the glistening silvery image of the very weretigers that are savaging the group just north of him, and with a nod, sends it charging toward the now lone tiger that had been engaged with the flying lancer a moment before. AC 27 for 11, AC 20 for 14, Auto-Miss

[Neurotic]

War strikes with Benihime at the weretiger next to him. He doesn't complicate things for now waiting to see the reaction of others.

OOC: please roll the attack and damage while I come to grips with his abilities.

OOC2: maybe we could simply ignore War as he made only few posts. We could exclude him as if he never started with us?

[Marius] Reacting to attacker behind you, you turn in ,crouching low with wide spread arms and sweeping your leg outwards, hitting the beast just over its ankles at exact moment it lands. Disbalancing it, you catch it's arm and raising upwards, throw the beast overhead. The tiger slams into the tree, making a loud cracking sound from the tree and he tiger. You finish the move firmly planting your leg back on ground, ending in same position you started from.

The dragon sweeps its tail.

The were tiger yelps as claws sink into it, and a look of bewilderment crosses it as its next meal suddenly disappears and reappears in the sky.

Seifer flanks the weretiger with War, his sword wrapped in the same green glow that he shot at the other weretiger, and smiles as it sinks in the creatures back, the green seemly splashing into the wound (29dmg)

[Haereka] Annoyed at the other weretiger's resistance to your psychic manipulation, you refocus your attention on the one squaring off against War. "Surrender, now. This is your last and only chance."
Surrender? Why? Big Brother will be here soon.

[Grabhar] Taking a swipe with one of your own claws as the monstrous beast climbs off you, the beast howls. Another peal of fire arcs off of you as the enemy claw connects, but your wounds start to close even as the weretiger's claw starts to leave your flesh, but the flame misses the beast.
You vanish in a puff of sickening smoke reappearing a moment later 20ft in the air and 30ft back from the weretiger flying in a defensive position.

[Halford]The ancient mystic takes a moment to gain his focus, and then spends it to summon his personal 5th lvl astral construct in the glistening silvery image of the very weretigers that are savaging the group just north of him, and with a nod, sends it charging toward the now lone tiger that had been engaged with the flying lancer a moment before. The first two blows landing but the third one misses.(25dmg) (oh my bad)

The weretiger turns sharply toward the kid, and with two swipes, the kid screams in pain, heavy gashes, with blood flowing free on his chest(25dmg) The fire urns for another round then goes out(5dmg)

War strikes with Benihime at the weretiger next to him. He hits it in the back, the fire once again leaking from his sword onto the weretiger.(6dmg;6fire) It falls to the ground, a burning mass of fur.

OOC: War fights with an alchemy blade longsword, he can 'plug an alchemical flask into it, and when he strikes it releases the flask. I would ignore war, but you may need him for this skirmish, I'll exclude him from XP though, if you all want.

[Vertexx69]

Alariass OOC - wow they have better than a 27AC? we are in trouble!
the astral construct has pounce and made 3 attacks after its charge that hit ACs 27/20/16. On the last attack I rolled a nat 1 so I just wrote "auto miss" to save space...thats not to say all the attacks just missed.

Grabhar, HP43/59, AC 34(30)/F27/T21 Saves: F5 R9 W6
Grabhar sees his prey engaged with a silvery double of itself, and takes his opportunity to strike at the beast. He activates the trident pendant around his neck with a thought, and then charges into a flanking position with the construct. Touch Attack=16, Spear dmg=29, Sneak dmg=16

--

Alariass repeats his actions from the previous round, and send a second of his silvery Construct(2) charging into a flanking position, at the stunned weretiger, with the monk. hit=32, dmg=17, hit=30, dmg=14, hit=19, dmg=11 and it crushes its limbs down onto the impared beast to devastating effect. Construct(1) continues its assault now with aid of the lancer with another 3 blows of its own. Auto-miss X2, hit=33, dmg=14 but swings wildly as one of its arms get caught in a bush for a moment before finding the beast with the final blow.

OOC - (1) has 3 more rounds, (2) has 4 more.

People think I powergame because I try to get big bonuses, but now maybe you're starting to see. Out of my 7 d20 rolls for the round, thats two 1s and two 2s. This is how I roll all the time, no matter if its real or virtual dice.

[Neurotic]

HP 49/61; AC 22/F18/T22; Saves F 12; R 12; W 10(12 vs. enchant) Stunning fists 3/5; blood leech 8/10;

Marius turns toward the only remaining tiger.

"Soon will not be soon enough for the lot of you."

With that he fades out of sight.

After short rustling of leaves everything calms down. (see OOC for mechanics)

Focusing on Alariass "communication device"
Trikk, I'm hidden in the forrest and will remain so, I'll follow in paralel hoping to catch another were unawares. Behind a tree where that construct bashed that weretiger is another unconcious one. Tell Alariass that he is alive, but unconcious, can be bound and interrogated.



OOC: Cloak of deception, turning greater invisible. Charge the last weretiger north about 20' using stunning fist. Step away 5' to the west after charge using cobra straps. If he steps close to retaliate then attack of opportunity.

Attack charge vs. flat footed (1d20+12=13); Damage; Stun DC 18 2d8+4=15)

OOC2: Yeah, it seems catching, another natural 1. Luckily, Marius remains invisible for the round. He uses it to HIDE Hide (1d20+10=30) and (if there is time) recover lost maneuvers. He stays hidden even if the were is dispatched.

ARRGH!! I'd rather have one on hide and twenty on attack

War

I'd say War would cast Augment personal weapon (Werecreature bane), Toughen Construct giving +2 to natural armor, Stone Construct (DR 10/adamantine), heal Seifer (not using his lay on hands but potions if available) and increase his stamina for encounter with big brother since last were won't last very long against the party. Especially with two constructs charging to help. I don't have the books with me, so I cannot look up at infusions and their casting times and War's char sheet doesn't contain full equipment (number of potions and such). As for alchemy blade, I believe each vial is for one attack only and that they should be used relatively sparringly, no?

[Neurotic]

I received e-mail from hellrazor saying:

Hey, sorry for not being on enworld for a couple of weeks, but I'vebeen having problems with my internet and little else but my mail willload, and it seems nothing will change that. If you could let the group know this and I will try to get on as soon as I can get to a library or something. I'll be at a friends house this Wednesday forsome tabletop gaming and I'll see if I can do something then.


Happy holidays

Please aknowledge if you're still with the game

[Voidrazor]

Haereka PP 26/35

Doggedly Haereka batters the remaining weretiger with another suggestion, "No you will submit. Your big brother is already too late to save you, and you know it. Surrender now!"

OOC:Another DC 16 suggestion. I'm very sorry for the long delay. I somehow failed to parse that I was holding things up.

[Marius] Marius turns toward the only remaining tiger.

"Soon will not be soon enough for the lot of you."
Then you turn invisible.
Though you are invisible, the were-tiger hears your charge and manages to move just before you hit, you take a step away and make your location unknown to it, though it seems to ignore you anyways, preferring to focus on those he can see.

The weretiger spreads his arms, hands open waiting for anyone to approach him

Seifer take a moment to rest, uncorking a potion and drinking it, his wound dramatically closes in a blue light, though a small gash is still visible.

[Haereka] Doggedly you batter the remaining weretiger with another suggestion, "No you will submit. Your big brother is already too late to save you, and you know it. Surrender now!"

The were-tiger looks at all the enemies around him, and with a sigh, bows his head Very well, I surrender to you, changing into a heavily scarred and bleeding human wearing nothing but a tattered loincloth. He sits himself on he ground and waits as the group closes around him

War plugs in another flame flask and casts Augment Personal Weapon on his blade then Stone Construct and Toughen Construct on himself before waiting around for the group.


Considering that it gave up, all actions made after Haereka will be canceled (unless you want to kill him, there are 2 stunned weretigers not going anywhere soon?)


OOC:
War has a plentiful supply of the flasks, 100 fire, ice and shock I think, and with the ease and short time it takes to make them, they can be replenished fairly quickly.

[Vertexx69]

Grabhar, HP45/59, AC 34(30)/F27/T21 Saves: F5 R9 W6

Grabhar dispatches the 2 stunned weretigers lying on the ground without a second thought, but looks with utter disdane as the last one standing shrink to its puny human form and surrenders. "I don't suppose we could convince anyone that his pathetically tattered hide was that of a raging werebeast could we? They'd just accuse us of killing common hillfolk to pad our numbers." The feral windian spins his silver longspear in his clawed hand and it shrinks to a shortspear as he sheaths it between his wings again. He grabs one of the striped beast carcasses, by the scruff of the neck with each hand, and drags them into the brush, off the path after making sure that each ones throat has bled its last (coup de grace). He returns and repeats this until the forest path is once again clear, if quite a bit bloodier than before. "You say there is no cure to this wretched affliction, then death is the only way to assure we wont face these opponents again on some distant field yes?" He pulls a short recurved skinning blade from his boot with a look towards the pile of black, white and orange carcasses
then back to the survivor of the ambush picking a bit of gore from under one of his own large claws. "Now where is this...big brother of yours? I'll be needing to have a...word with him."

OOC - Grabhar will automatically heal 2hp a round until full from his fast healing. All his manuevers are replenished.

Alariass turns his head from the gristley work, but sends his constructs to help move bodies faster.

[Voidrazor]

Haereka broadcasts telepathically to the entire party but addresses Marius. "Marius dear, would you be so kind as to carefully bind our prisoner? I wouldn't want him to get any untoward ideas if a second wave of enemies arrives."

[Neurotic]

Appearing suddenly directly behind pathetic wretch Marius pulls its hands behind and ties them with short piece of rope draging him in the clearing.

"Grabhar, I didn't leave those alive just so you can slaughter them. We said there is no cure within OUR GROUP that can heal them, not that there is no cure at all. And besides, they could be interrogated and identified so we could send word to their families. Please, next time don't take upon yourself to override others decision without question.

Alariass, didn't Trikk get my message? I was hoping to get big brother one big surprise. I'll go look around, you can heal and interrogate this one and prepare for advance. Grabhar, when you finish your ghouling, would you take wing and look around from above?"

Thinking to Haereka:
"Haereka, how far does you telepathy reach? Could you hear me 'shouting' from further away or is there fixed range."

OOC: don't weres change to human form after death, if so, we have dead hillmen in any case

OOC2: Marius maneuvers are recovered and he uses charge from healing belt to heal himself (rolls pending)

OOC3: Marius would prefer that telepaths interrogate were, rather then Grabhar so he tries to get him away
