Rhun: I was just reminded that Elementals are immune to critical hits, and thus, would be immune to ranged precision.
Well that just really sucks.

Planning on landing on the elemental..Its crazy and heroic. Something I would like to see in a Eberron movie.
I also have the climb aboard manuever, but I am sure he could beat my climb with his grapple...
Jax would rather go out with style (and a pair of nat 20s) then to cower like a wussie. If it works he is legendary as the crazy gnome who jumped off an airship. <<shrugs>>
Like a vortex, man. Don't you have manyshot/rapid shot?
Yes. As updated IC.

I'm trying to get my mind around the physics of this situation -- the elemental is composed completely of swirling air, so I would think that 'landing' or 'grabbing hold' of it would be a very difficult thing to do.
I would think hitting it with a weapon would be much like hitting an incorporeal creature -- the weapon itself would pass through the creature and deal damage, instead of the satisfying resistance that a corporeal 'body' would generate.
I'll roll the numbers for the climb/grapple/etc, to see what the dice want to tell me.
But I think Morika and Voadam might be involved in their own heroic Eberron pursuit of a falling gnome in the dark of night ....
p.s. You're not intentionally trying to kill off Jaxel, are you?
@pathfinderq1: Let me know if you plan on having Ipshivi do anything during this combat, I am assuming that she is below decks riding out the storm, as they say.
Due to the actions taken by the elementals before some of the PC's acted, I need updated info from Jaxel, Morika, and Voadam, along with Yoggriths action. Jaxel now has a choice to invoke the duck underneath move, as the elemental attacked and missed him while using total defense last turn. (He can still jump overboard if he wants to! )

Unless things turn absolutely disastrous, she is content to stay out of this particular fight. She also thinks the ship needs more recreational reading material- don't they even have the latest issue of the Korranberg Chronicle?
@ Morika: I'm sure you are aware of this, but I thought I'd post it:
From the SRD for Call Lightning:
Quote:
If you are outdoors and in a stormy area—a rain shower, clouds and wind, hot and cloudy conditions, or even a tornado (including a whirlwind formed by a djinni or an air elemental of at least Large size)—each bolt deals 3d10 points of electricity damage instead of 3d6.
(What's that on the rear deck?? )
Also, your concentration mod should be +10 (due to your +2 con bonus -- you've got +1 listed)
or some such in the listing of initiative count actions so we can see on the initiative count where the resolved action from the post ends that would help me.

Hmm. Can one Grapple an Air Elemental? Pin one? I figure being buffeted by the winds might give me time to pull something off.

By thier description they definitely seem to be incorporeal but they aren't rules wise which is definitely weird. I will abide by any ruling you seem fair.

Nah! Just roleplaying a fearless crazy gnome. Probably should not have watched "Beowulf" before I post though.
