Leif's "The Hall of the Rainbow Mage," IC (A) [D&D 3.5]

[Leif]

OOC: Excellent point, Jemal! (gee, that reminds me why I don't DM high level games....)

[Leif]

Whin draws his sword and proceeds to carve one of the formidable-looking wooden constructs into toothpicks. The other construct, being insensible, does not vary in its approach intending to work much mischief and mayhem upon the characters. At this point, Nilah's arcane flames lance out and severely scorch the remaining wood golem, but it still stands and still appears to have a fully hostile intent. (That enough info, Rhun, for you to take an action now? )

Also don't forget that Eldritch blasts are subject to SR with the exception of Vitriolic blast.

OOC:
I'm aware that it usually does not work, and so does Nilah, but aside from basic attacks from a rapier, Nilah is currently useless against Golems... so... it was worth a shot. And the rod of withering ALWAYS deals damage as those two drains and is a touch attack always... that's why I liked it.

[Leif]

The construct's "face" remains stoically impassive and unaware, even as Nilah's flames course around it's exceedingly dry wooden body, which begins to burn on its own as well.

[Rhun]

Vaidun simple steps back, completely confident in Whin's ability to take out the remaining construct. Now the wizard knew why he would never use a wooden golem...an opponent's blade would chop them to flinders.

[Leif]

The remaining wood golem reaches out and strikes Nilah for 9hp of damage with a rough hewn hand that leaves several splinters behind in his flesh.

[next round, please?]

[Theroc]

Nilah winced slightly as he was struck, making sure to break contact ASAP, as catching fire was NOT on his list of priorities for the day, he then draws his rapier, stepping once more so that if the golem faced him, it's back would be turned to Whin as he grinned, taking a swing with the bladed weapon, empowering it once more with his Eldritch might.

OOC stuff

AC: 23(15 touch, 18 Flatfooted), HP: 61, DR: 2/Cold Iron

Another 5' Step to place Nilah diagonal from Whin, the Golem between the two.

Hideous Blow attack with rapier on Golem
1d20+13=26, 1d6+1=6, 8d6=27
Attack: 26(No threat)
Rapier Damage: 6
Fire Damage from Eldritch Blast: 27
(Just realized I forgot the flanking bonus, so the attack should actually be 28, not 26)

[Leif]

Nilah's next attack, along with the continuing damage of the flames from his last attack, render the remaining Wood Golem a charred, inert lump of driftwood.

*Combat has ended!*

[kinem]

"Well done, guys." In more ways than one ...

Sam's sensitive nose isn't partial to overcooked golem, so he waits for the fire to die out.

He'll then head back into the golem room and take a careful look around.

ooc: spot 16, listen 14, search +16 (take 20 for 36)

[Leif]

The so-called 'golem-room' is actually Londar's office. High niches along the walls hold a variety of delicate crystal vases and statues that are all lit from behind with magical lights. The crystal of the vases splits the light into a rainbow of colors that spills across the ceiling. All who see the lights, make a will save (DC 18).

More after this is resolved.

[Rhun]

Despite being extremely strong of will, Vaidun finds himself entranced by the myriad of colors spilling across the ceiling.


Will Save: 16

[Theroc]

Nilah grinned at his victory, though winced faintly again at the slight injury. After that, he took a moment to look around... and his eyes came across a colorful lights on the ceiling...

Saving throw

1d20+7=20

And then shook his head, focusing on searching for the source of the effect.

Action

Detect Magic and look about for any signs of magical tampering, particularly around the lights.

Action

1d20+3=5, 1d20+2=12
Search Check: 5
Spot Check:12

OOC: Stupid coding dividing my Sblock...

OOC: You have two (well three total) sblock notations in your post, which is why it is divided.

OOC: I know. I deleted the middle pair (the one that divides them) before posting it. It always seems to divide my blocks unless the IC link is the first item in the block.

[Leif]

OOC: Guess we'll wait until all of the saving throws are posted.

OOC: Let's just hope we still have the rest of our players.

[kinem]

Though startled to see the colored lights, Sam resists their strange effect.

will save = 20

[renau1g]

Blade easily overcomes the effect, having long been trained during his indoctrination to resist those effects that would interfere with his ability to complete the assigned task.

OOC

will (1d20+15=29)

[Leif]

OOC: Ok, that's four of us. If there are no more posted by this evening, I'll assume that the remainder have failed. Said remainder will remain subject to the effect of the trap until their players resume posting.

[Rhun]

OOC: Can I trade one of their saving throws for my failed one? LOL.
