Gaming W/Jemal: Planar Quest IC (Prologue)

UR explodes in size, charging at Wade. His blows rain down on the construct, but Wade weaves and dodges, deflecting most of the giant dwarf's assault. One strike seems to come close, Wade having to bring up both arms to block it, his massive stone feet sinking a few inches into the floor as he braces against the massive strike.

Gerard grabs the Egg with a wince as it immediately starts draining his life force, and he and Mei retreat from the fray without incident. Mei throws up her force dome but Wade seems not to care, surrounded by enough targets as it is.
Braham fires a blast at Wade, and the titanforged does something impossible. He backhands the acidic blast away into a nearby wall!
"If the egg were my only weakness, why would I need you?" Wade responds to Ur, beginning to chuckle until Darrian appears behind him, smashing the construct with his staff three times in rapid succession. The blows do not seem to harm Wade that much.

"To fight threats that don't politely wander into your den?" suggests the dwarven giant, teeth tight. (So his adamantine strike is not enough to bypass this guy's magical protection... Maybe Cold Iron?)


[sblock=OOC]Religion Roll +10 to know what usually affects Titan spawns in the stories, Jemal please?

Oh, and if Wade Provokes, Ur would like to do a Trip for his AoO if possible. +17 (+7 Str base, +2 incr STR through Expansion, +4 size difference, +4 Improved Trip. Free attack at +28 (includes +2 flanking with Tutek), 8d8+14 damage on successful trip. A further +4 to avoid being tripped in return on a failed attempt (Dwarven stability)).[/sblock]

"Let's try this one more time, I'm not a friend of one time rebuttal, Sendesemcal if you'll do the honours?" The ogre says before lashing repeatedly with his chains from a safe distance.


Sendesemcal full attack: +37/32/27/22 2d6+29 19-20x2. If Wade approaches Tutek (since he is attacking from 20ft the ogre gets a AoO.

Impressive Braham is surprised at Wade's ability to deflect his blast. But I still have a trick or two up my sleeves.

He turns himself invisible and moves towards Wade.

Sendesmecal whirls and leaps at the statue, seeming to have a mind of its own that directs its attacks.
Still, only two blows manage to collide solidly, smashing at full force into the titanforged's side with a loud crack.
"OW. what the hell is that thing made of?" the chained sorceror grumbles.
Wade chuckles at Ur's comment "Oh well I suppose that WOULD make things easier." He seems to slow as he ponders the Dwarf's statement. He points an arm at tutek and it starts to flow and change shape, melting into a cannon and firing a single blast of energy which glances off the ogre's shoulder, the force of the impact nearly spinning him around.

Ur first notices the fact that Wade's attack left no openings in his defenses... and then the slowdown. Pity Gerald is in the dome: sparkling patter is *not* one of the dwarven stonecutter's strong points. Maybe this will help though:

The dwarf strikes high left - thunderously blocked by a raised forearm - but that block has already allowed him to step in and down for a tremendous, giant-sized uppercut that shoots the golem clean off its feet... to come crashing back down onto its side a few feet back!

With his free hand, Gerard reaches into his haversack and pulls out a miniature platnium sword that has a copper and zink pommel

std action: cast mage's sword ( http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/magesSword.htm )
att: +29; damage: 4d6+3

There is a muttering and Darrian appears beside Wade. "I suppose I should make a quip about my blade tasting your blood but neither of us uses those... Sooo... Your bust is dust?" He makes a quick attack then vanishes again, only to reappear a few feet away to attack again and again. He attacks three times, vanishing after each before he steps back into the shadows awaiting his next chance.

[sblock=OoC] Hide is 59 minus modifiers. With spring attack he can't make AoO if he sees me. I cast golem strike as a swift action before I attack which allows me to add sneak damage against constructs for 1 round. The transmuting effect of my sword has activated meaning I by pass any dr exempt /- against him for 10 rounds or until it changes. My attacks are at +34/+29/+24 before flanking or unseen attacker. Damage 1d6+19+9d6+20. I separated the sneak because he might have fortification in addition to being a construct. Ac is 30/34 vs spells and medium fortification.[/sblock]

Mei Ying takes a breath and holds a hand up, gathering her will. Arcane power surges within the force dome, and coalesces around her so strongly that it feels tangible, as if the air were thickening to a gel. She spoke a word of power; an instruction to the cosmos in its own language, a modulation not just of air, but of the essence of reality.

The word was: Stop.

And it did.

Immediately the light faded to a dim red monochrome, and all movement...even the bits of dust and blood in the air...was frozen. Only Mei Ying herself stood apart, able to move.

With a step, she flashed out of the dome into the battlefield of statues around her. Even in this state, she didn't dawdle, as even the strongest of mages could only stop time for a brief moment before reality reasserted itself.

There on the field of battle, she uttered a call. Her voice resonated through air and stone and the planes themselves, naming a creature to come to her aid; one of the sons of Ogremoch itself. It would take time to arrive, of course, but she was confident the others could keep Wade busy until then.

Mei-Ying briefly considered calling something else as well...but decided against it. This was all meant as mostly a distraction, after all. Another spell took her through the dome of force again, back safe inside it. Unfortunately she couldn't help anyone but herself in this state. Any spell she cast on someone else was taking place, for them, within the span of a tiny fraction of a second...far too quickly to be noticible..

Instead she cast a few defensive spells...bolstering herself for the moment when the dome came down, and the fight was joined.

Light flooded back in again abruptly as the timestream threw off her manipulations. To most eyes present, nothing at all had happened. Mei-Ying seemed to flicker within the dome, changing position slightly from one instant to the next, but no other obvious changes took place.

Yet.

[sblock=Stuff]Mei Ying casts Time Stop, and rolls 5 rounds on the timer.
