Round 5

The Sorceress uses her Glacial Spike spell again, hurling another icy missile at the beast, but to no noticeable effect.
Siren bides her time now that the beasts attention is back on brick, waiting to strike in unison with her companion.
"If we strike together perhaps we can bring it down!" She telepathically attempts to co-ordinate with the others.
Ben staggers a bit from the blow, but as Siren calls for a coordinated assault, he pulls himself together, adding his haymaker to the attacks of the others. He seems to have finally found a good angle through the creature's natural armoring.
"We shall prevail!" Exclaims Helis as he hacks at the creature along his comrades, after summoning his golden gladius.
All are more than shocked when their combined effort is barely able to slow down the creature.

The creatures retaliation had a much bigger effect on Brick...

your turn. Brick may spend a HP to re-roll... but the crit was devastating.

Sorceress

Once more, the Sorceress casts the Glacial Spike spell. Another icy missile flies towards the creature, hoping to bring it down.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Using "Glacial Spike"; two linked effects:
- Blast 10 (Perception range) -> DC 25 Toughness
- Petrification 10 (Duration instant (lasting)) -> DC 20 Fortitude[/SBLOCK]

[sblock=ooc]Yeah, even with a nat 20, he's still 10 below the save, so I'm not sure it's worth spending the point. I think Brick's out of the rest of this fight, then.[/sblock]

"Again!" Siren spurs Helis on, seeing Brick reeling from the blow. "We must put the beast down."

OOC:

Siren's trying for another combined attack. If Helis decides to try his own this time, then Siren'll just smack it.
Psyblade: Toughness DC 27 (Vampiric, Penetrating)
Jkason - I'd do it, personally.. with a +11, you need to roll a 16+ to stay conscious. With the HP +10 below 10 rule, that's a 50% chance of remaining conscious.

OOC:

On Jemal's advice:

HP Tough re-roll (1d20+11=31)

Of course, Brick's still staggered. It's unclear to me if he can go 'all out' while in that condition, but rolling anyway. pretty sure it's moot as a miss:

Penetrating All Out Power Attack (DC 30) (1d20+10=14)

OOC:

No, he isn't. If a damage roll isn't a success with a natural 20, you still only suffer the minimal result of the attack. A bruised level in this case.

[MENTION=51271]Voda Vosa[/MENTION] , still waiting for Helis. If you want to join the attack, you need to attack Toughness, too. Your sword is resisted by Fortitude.

Voda Vosa · Mar 19, 2012

Helis joins the attack with a slashing manoeuvring of his sword.

OOC: Joining the combined attack. Hypastes is resisted by toughness, Makahira is resisted by fortitude.

Round 6 (end of combat)

Everything happens so fast... first the Sorceress cold attack freezes the creature solid as the other combine their mighty attacks into one final blow...
The thing shatters into fistsized chunks, but some hitting the already damaged wall and causes it to crumble under the outside water pressure...

you have to get back to your ship fast!

[SBLOCK=OOC]

PF Fortitude vs Glacial Spike (DC 20) (1d20+14=19)
PF Toughness vs Combined Attack (DC 36) (1d20+13=27)

I'm going to end the fight here, ruling that it took enough time, but providing a new challenge for you all :devil:

[/SBLOCK]

you may act now out of turns...

on second thought, this is maybe a good opportunity to make a break to allow you to re-imagine your characters to M&M 3e with PL 10 / 154 PP.
See you in the OOC thread (please post your characters there. I will make a new 3e RG later.
