"Necessary Evil" IC

Walking Dad · Jul 8, 2011

GM:

Almost, it is:

Preparation Round

20 Helis - Ready Bow -> G'rok 1 (declared a miss)
20 G'roks - Get closer
13 Siren - Move back to the Device
13 Gemini 2 - Mental Blast -> G'rok 1
08 Gemini 1 - Frozen Armor
06 Sorceress - Blizzard -> G'rok 1, 2, 3 (G'rok 1 is entangled)
?? Brick - Delay (Guard Device)

Round 1

20 Helis - ? -> this is the problem
20 G'rok 1 - Break free of Snare (standard), Move out of effect area
20 G'rok 2 - Move, Attack -> Helis (Bruised & Dazed)
20 G'rok 3 - Move, Attack -> Helis
13 Siren - Mental Blast -> G'rok 1 (Bruised & Dazed)
13 Gemini 2 - Mental Blast -> G'rok 1 (Bruised)
08 Gemini 1 - Glacial Spike -> G'rok 1
06 Sorceress - Fire Bolt -> G'rok 3 {one of the closer ones} {not resolved yet; Attack was a 17 and Toughness Save DC is 29}
?? Brick - Delay (Guard Device)

I'm actually waiting for another word from @Voda Vosa and @jkason

not sure while Brick isn't joining the fight (protecting the device was just my way to not have to NPC him).

If the others don't want to wait any longer, I will resolve the fire bolt now.
Staggered!

OOC:

In character, Helis declared that we shouldn't close / touch the G'rok, but needed to attack them from range. Brick tried to get clarification on that, assuming that Helis had some kind of information on specific dangers of the G'rok. Meanwhile, VV seems to have dropped off the thread, so I sort of got myself stuck motivationally by that. Brick's main ranged attacks are area stuff that would likely catch everyone else in a tunnel, too, so there's that complication, too.

Sorceress

“One of them is almost down! Get them now, while we are at an advantage! Brick! Stop lingering around there, they won't steal that thing, we need you here!” the Sorceress calls out to her allies.

Ben O'hare aka Brick

"To hell with that self-important... " Ben mutters as Sorceress calls for help. "I can't just sit on my hands."

The broad-shouldered powerhouse barrels forward, landing a haymaker on the G'rok that seems weakest.

OOC:

Charge attack vs. G'rok (1d20+12=27)

Can you use All out attack and Power attack on the same attack? i.e. could I drop defense to pump attack, then trade-off the pumped attack to increase damage? Just a thought. Anyway, I believe the save DC on the unarmed attack is a 25 toughness save.

ETA, if Brick actually manages to drop his opponent, he also has the Takedown feat, so he can make a second attack if there's another opponent within 5'

Round 1 (finish)

"To hell with that self-important... " Ben mutters as Sorceress calls for help. "I can't just sit on my hands."
The broad-shouldered powerhouse barrels forward, landing a haymaker on the G'rok that seems weakest. It hits and hurts, but the thing still stands!
"You look weak!" Helis proclaims before missing utterly...
The g'rok's fight back... Helis manages to avoid their claws, but Brick is hit...

Sorceress

The Sorceress conjures another firebolt, sending it against the G'rok, she has successfully burned before, with another solid hit, the beast might be out of the fight, she figures, hoping for the best.

Siren focuses her assault on Brick's opponent, staying back for now.

Round 2 (beginning)

The Sorceress conjures another firebolt, sending it against the G'rok, she has successfully burned before, with another solid hit, the beast might be out of the fight, she figures, ... but it is a wide miss, only hitting a sewer wall.
Siren focuses her assault on Brick's opponent, staying back for now. Her attack has no obvious effect.

Voda Vosa, jkason, Arkhandus, you are up

Gemini

Gemini grumbles for a moment at seeing his mimicked spells having no effect, so he tries a different, seeing the Sorceress manage to burn one herself. So he invokes a Fire Bolt of his own, which streaks off towards the G'rok near Brick.......but his aim is a bit off as he has to avoid shooting Brick's backside.

Meanwhile, the other Gemini keeps focusing his Mental Blasts on the same G'rok that he's been fixated on from the start, hammering away at its neural pathways..... He says "Rooks rike we're weakening them......that mind-attack of yours is rather handy, Siren," in his fake-Japanese accent.

[sblock=ooc]Gemini sends a Fire Bolt against G'rok #3 (DC 22 Toughness save if he somehow hits).

Gemini's duplicate Mental Blasts G'rok #1 again (DC 23 Will save).

The G'rok just needs another DC 23 Will save against Mental Blast, and a DC 19 Toughness save against Glacial Spike's Blast, and a DC 18 Fortitude save against Glacial Spike's Petrification.

"That actually hurt!" Brick says, wiping blood from his lip "Now, how about you step out while you're ahead?" he says, taking another roundhouse swing.

Melee attack, G'rok 3 (1d20+10=20)
