Death of the Dragons

[hellrazor111]

"Well, from where I wouldn't know, but he heard the battle," replies the bound weretiger. He give a great smile, "if you listen, you may hear him."

Seifer turns away from the group, a 'pondering' look on his face. A couple of seconds later he whips back around, with a hint of fear in his eyes. Drop the corpses and take to the sky! he yells to Grabhar.

[Vertexx69]

Grabhar, HP49/59, AC 34(30)/F27/T21 Saves: F5 R9 W6

Grabhar spreads his great golden wings and takes to the sky, drawing and lengthening his silver spear all in a single smooth motion. He flys strait up 60ft to take a listen and look around. Spot=18, Listen=25 The trees keep him from getting a good look around, but his hearing is quite keen as he hovers above the battlefield.

Alariass mentally calls his constructs back to a position on either side of himself readying actions to charge at whatever might come tumbling out of the forset at them next.

[hellrazor111]

[Grabhar] Above the trees you hear it shortly before you see it, the sound of something big charging. Looking northwest you see a line of trees being moved out of the way, whatever it is is heading in the direction of the group, seconds from busting into the clearing. You can't clearly see what it is.

HP 49+7=56/61

Healing from the belt (2d8=7)
Marius heals almost fully. After Grabhar takes wing, he moves into the trees dissapearing again in small trail of shadow.
Hide (1d20+10=28)
Invisible castle loves my hiding, but not my healing I just hope that attack rolls will be high enough.

OOC: using cloak of deception and using full round recovery method to maintain it. Essentialy he is greater invisible until he stops recovering the maneuver. He can move 5' per round while doing so and uses it to adjusts his hiding spot for optimal surprise attack once the beast becomes visible.

For hellrazor

If big brother is different enough from 'standard' weres, another knowledge check may be in order to determine bonus from knowledge devotion, I'll let you decide that. Currently it's +2/+2 or if you allow aid another from allarias +3/+3 (you didn't rule on that when we rolled and my roll 29 is just under +3 DC of 30) I used +2 for lesser versions, but now it COULD become important

OOC: Mindlink with Marius. PP 25

[Neurotic]

"Very well, I will go forward and send you what I see so you can all prepare acordingly. Stay sharp!"

Marius readies his meteoric dagger intending to throw it from invisibility cover with full charges (dealing (1d4+3 piercing) +(1d6 fire) +(3d6 fire burst Ref DC 14 for half) damage and returning property). In his other hand he readies enlarge potion.

He moves slowly northwards through the trees on the right side of 'the road'

For hellrazor

One maneuver that you need to think about.

Shadow jaunt has range of 50'. Fall from 50' lasts just under 3 seconds (1/2 round). Would it be possible to jaunt straight up over an opponent, drop down on him and do 5d6 of falling damage in addition to normal Marius' kick damage? Of course, he would receive part of that damage too, but between his acrobatics, stone bones maneuver (DR 5) and readiness for impact he should be fine. Even receiving 5d6 damage might be worth it if it will mean that death blow over some DR hits home (average around 30 damage)

As it bursts into the clearing, your new opponent is frightening to behold. An ogre, standing easily 10ft tall with orange and black fur, gives out a roar. Its smell is putrid, and in its hand is a greataxe that gently shifts colors.

As they charge, the first Construct disappears, the second one charges the monster, attacking it once close, giving it a sound smack.

[Vertexx69]

OOC - the Astral construct has pounce and extra attack for 3 swipes at full attack bonus +2 (from charge).

"Marius where ever you are, can you get behind it?"

[Neurotic]

OOC: I posted yesterday, but it seems it got eaten (this is second post I noticed that got eaten last night I added power attack into the mix, but I'm not sure wether stunning attack (precise attack) can be used in conjuction with power attack. )

OOC: I guess you missed this? Or did the beast move so fast there was no time?

Anyhow, Marius drinks the potion as the beast thunders by and follows, charging behind it while magic of the potion was still taking effect.

Marius focuses and jumps over last few feet of distance bringing together his hands in overhead smash, targeting back of its head.

Combat details

stunning feast and power attack together if possible, if not, add 5 to attack and reduce damage by 5. Stun DC 18.
To hit: 10 + 2(charge) +2 (gauntlets) +2 (knowledge devotion) +2 (flanking) -5 (power attack)

Damage: 3d8 (enlarged) +4 (WIS) +2 (gauntlets) +2 (knowledge devotion) +5 (power attack)

Power stunning fist (1d20+13=16, 3d8+13=28)


Due to increased size, AC is reduced by 2 (1 from size and 1 from loss of dexterity) and reach becomes 10feet.

Gauntlets 1/3 charges, if hit, marius gains 1 hp life drinking stone.

"The dragon lands upon pray!" - whisper

"Somebody called?"- louder

[Vertexx69]

Grabhar, HP53/59, AC 34(30)/F27/T21 Saves: F5 R9 W6

Grabhar activates his trident pendant again and recklessly charges down into a flanking position with Marius. hit Touch AC=29*, 1d8+36=40, 5d6=12

OOC

Just a couple logistical things;

Grabhars starting position is 60ft over the 2 dead weretigers, as opposed to still up in the northern treeline.

The astral construct is large size as are all of the weretigers except the 1 that shifted back to human form. So the Construct (and now Marius) should each take up 4 spaces as well.

*Forgot to add the +1 higher ground bonus, as hes coming in from above with a reach weapon.

Alariass, HP 58/70, AC 17/F16/T11 Saves: F6 R2 W8, PP 21/44

Alariass stays within his swirling manajory of dopplegangers while he calls on his dark knowledge to grant a bonus to everyone's attacks against the giant Knowledge Nature=34to give everyone a +3 to hit from then on (move action), then points at the beasty and fires a dead blue beam into the wereogres face (energy ray). Touch AC=23, cold dmg=22

The construct whacks on the wereogre 3 times before disappearing as well. AC/Dmg: 22/10, 22/16, 35/13

[Voidrazor]

Thousands of razor sharp crystal materialize from Alariass' shield in a spray of glittering death, assaulting the lycanthropic ogre.

OOC

Haereka manifests Crystal storm 15 touch to hit, 12 damage, plus if a DC 16 Fort save is failed 3 Con damage.

[Neurotic]

War charges with Benihime held at the ready, smiting foul creature with his bane blade.
to hit (+5BAB +2STR +3 smite +1 blade +2 charge +3 Allariass +2 bane)(1d20+18=31); damage(1d8+8+2d6)=15; fire damage(1d6=2)

OOC: what kind of bonus is from Alariass? Marius has already insight bonus if that is it so he'll get only +1 if it's same type

[hellrazor111]

@Neurotic: He just burst from the trees now, so now would be the time

[Marius]You drink the potion as the beast thunders by and follows, charging behind it while magic of the potion is still taking effect.

You focus and jump over last few feet of distance bringing together your hands in overhead smash, targeting back of its head.
"The dragon lands upon pray!" - whisper

"Somebody called?"- louder
Your attack land a little short and glances off its armor, and it shrugs off your attempt to stun it.

HP: 56/61 -33 +3= 26+10/61; AC: 23; gauntlet charges 0/3; healing belt 2/3; crystal of life drinking 5/10; enlarge 5/6 rounds

Yeah, well I counted on him being flat-footed against the attack (since it's from the back and Marius is silent, but no matter. Another hit like this and Marius is dead.

What armor?!

OOC2: I guess 5 damage from War means that it has some DR that Benihime does not overcome?


IC:
Marius reels for a moment and then comes forward again his hands moving in a blur. Both gauntlets fly off his hands and his countenance changes, pupils become slitted, the skin grows scales and shines golden, his face elongates into a snout, filling with fangs and voice becomes more resonant as his chest cavity expands and ridges form along his spine.

"Behold true power! RAAARH!!!"

Right hand swings toward the head of the beast, the claws extended, starting the turn, left maintains the balance and at one point of the turn enlarged leg flashes out and then back again. As it finds purchase on the ground, Marius snaps his head forward biting at the ogre!

Attack base + Alariass + Knowledge Devotion(1d20+10+3+2=24); damage (3d8+4(WIS)+2(KD)+2(trance)+2(gauntlets) =30)
Attack base + Alariass + Knowledge Devotion(1d20+10+3+2=26); damage (3d8+4+2+2+2=23)
BITE: Attack base + Alariass + Knowledge Devotion(1d20+10+3+2=18); damage (1d8+4(WIS)+2(gauntlets)+2(KD)=9)

OOC: if he survives this round Marius teleports toward the healers in the party.

[Voidrazor]

Haereka Delays her action while addressing Seifer telepathically, "You're in the way dear. If you could back up directly away from the beastie, you, Alariass, and I should all have a clear shot. And, of course, you'll be farther from harms way."

[Vertexx69]

Grabhar, HP55/59, AC 34/F27/T21 Saves: F5 R9 W6

Grabhar touches the glowing trident once more. He tumbles through the air to adjust his elavated position so that he is flanking with W.A.R. from 10ft above the wereogre striking from a completely unexpected angle, where there was no attacker a moment before.

"Behold true power! RAAARH!!!"

Right hand swings toward the head of the beast, the claws extended, starting the turn, left maintains the balance and at one point of the turn enlarged leg flashes out and then back again. As it finds purchase on the ground, Marius snaps his head forward biting at the ogre!
None of the attacks hit, with the ogre blocking the first two, and avoiding the bite.

Seifer steps back 10ft then creates a sickly green orb in his hand, launching it in the air, it splits five times, each striking a were-tiger corpse, the bodies then slowly stand up and move at the Ogre.

[Haereka]You release possession of Alariass' shield and glide ethereally towards the ogre.

[Grabhar] You touch the glowing trident once more. You tumble through the air to adjust your elevated position so that you are flanking with W.A.R. from 10ft above the wereogre striking from a completely unexpected angle, where there was no attacker a moment before. Striking into the Ogres Shoulder.(56dmg)

The ogre turns toward the metal warrior, bringing his axe up high and slamming it into it's side, leaving a noticable dent in its side(30 dmg)

Alariass squints his eyes and a bruise appears on the side of his face as another of his silvery constructs comes charging at the beast from the north, taking up position next to Marius and underneath Grabhar as it unleashes a blistering barrage of attacks hitting twice.(31dmg) At the same time, all of the swirling robed figures raise their left hands as a phalanx of fiery rays lance out at the beasts head again but sail wide

War repeats the action from before smiting the foul creature with all he's got. He then takes a moment to apply silversheen on Benihime and sends his packmate toward Marius.(33dmg) (2fire)

[Neurotic]

Sorry, I forgot about War

He repeats the action from before smiting the foul creature with all he's got. He then takes a moment to apply silversheen on Benihime and sends his packmate ("healer's chest") toward Marius.

[Voidrazor]

Haereka releases possession of Alariass' shield and glides ethereally 60' towards the ogre.
