Epic Problem : Return to Power

Jool the Drogorn

Jool quickly decides where the action is. She sticks her head back into the inn for a brief instant to yell a quick warning.

"Red winged woman at the temple. It's clobberin' time!"

Then she heads at full speed towards the temple, blood lust in her eyes. At last, some action!

"...huh, saved by the very loud half-dragon lady. Assuming I survive this assumably dangerous encounter, we'll have to discuss where I might be able to obtain one of those nifty silver fiddles."

Salarassa rises from the table, gives the bard a graceful bow, and exits, following Jool.

"Half Dragon?!?" The bard jumps to his feet and dashes after Salarassa. Jool speeds into the air, heading for the temple (north).

Ijazim pulls himself to his feet and angrily blasts the woman with spell after spell before finally resorting to his defensive measure when she doesn't drop. (She's taken a total of 205 damage from your spells, no failed saves yet.)

The Dragon Disciple stalks forward, banging into your shell of protection. She sneers and bangs her fist against it before turning on the guards, slaughtering everyone within 40' except the kneeling man.

"Ummm, you should probably know, following me could very well get you killed. Just FYI." Salarassa mentions to Paique as they run. When they arrive on the scene, Salarassa stands at the edge of the square, considering the battle at hand.

"Now this is getting embarrassing. You, milady, are the worthiest opponent I've ever faced, and I may yet fail to kill you. But I did not come here alone. No matter your power I have proved myself your match, but when my companions arrive you will be slaughtered. Surrender. Surrender and join us, or you will die here today. You will die and your soul will be utterly consumed. The Mother loves all her children, and there might still be forgiveness in her heart." He smiles serenely, and when she declines his offer he chuckles. "Well, it was worth a shot. Fortunately I still have a few alternatives left."
He hits her with another Bolt of Bedevilment (ooc: same casting as 1st round, DC 38), followed by a Lesser confusion (dc 34), two Maximized Blade barriers (DC39, 90+90 hps) (Rod of Maximize), and a Firestorm (dc 41, 20d6=89 hps) followed by a Miracled Feeblemind (DC 42, -4 to saves for arcane casters)

ooc: Will you put her up in the RG after the fight is over, assuming she doesn't get away?

Though he stood unseen and apart from the inn patrons, Panarchus found himself enjoying the performance. Such near perfection could perhaps be expected from Salarassa, but the same from a mortal bard, even one possesing a magic fiddle, was impressive. But when Jool announces that one of the Seven is nearby, the avatar does not hesistate. Panarchus rushes for the door and launches himself into the air, a stream fo divine orisons on his lips.

OOC - I'm not sure how far the temple is from the inn. Assuming its several rounds by air, he'll cast Spell Resistance, Foresight, Divine Agility, Spikes, Miracle for the Wu Jen spell Giant Size, and activate Haste via Boots of Swftness. If its only 2-3 rounds away, He'll cast quickened versions of Spell Resistance, Spikes, Miracle, and Haste. If its just one round away he'll cast Time Stop and buff using normal versions except for quickened Haste. Please let me know which, so I can update my character sheet accordingly

"Lets us go then. I noticed the half-dragon Jool is talking about. She may be the one they call the Disciple. Hurry! We must make haste!"

As the others race outside, Xis'talamarisk mutters a few draconic words that result in a large pair of dragon wings sprouting from his back. With a flap of his wings, he rises fifty feet in the air and flies with all haste to the scene of the commotion.

And this one has saves trough the stratosphere, probably a huge charisma bonus as well as both fully functional Paladin and Blackguard levels... Or does Ijazim have any other theories about why her saves are unbeatable?
