[Adventure!] Daunton's Dead Past DM: FourMonos. Judge: Peer Committee

[FourMonos]

GM: Depends (I think) on if you consider him an enemy? I mean, don't get me wrong, I think that would be funny, but I don't know if Vermitrax would have his conjurations on attack mode for allies as well. What does everyone think?

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

OOC: MHO: The rules on ally/enemy designation are vague when it comes to dominated PCs because the definitions are not written anywhere in that context. In my experience, "enemy" status is usually up to the PC, and "ally" status is usually up to the one being designated as such. This means that if I want to harm someone, I will, but I can't expect someone else to be my friend unless they want to be my friend. By this rule, the skeleton should have an OA...buuuuuut, the question is how much has the party trusted Raiyek (I imagine that even Vermitrax has placed at least some trust in him) and how much denial would you have to overcome before Raiyek proves himself truly dominated. Is this Raiyek's first dominated attack? If so, I imagine that this would take the party a little by surprise, even if they knew he was under the beholder's influence. In the time it takes for the Raiyek to disengage from the skeleton, would Vermitrax have enough time to realize that Raiyek was a threat? If the answer is in doubt, then a simple wisdom save with an appropriate DC might serve to reflect this. If Vermitrax passes, the skeleton gets an OA. If not, he's too surprised by Raiyek's betrayal to respond in time. Alternatively, if it's obvioiusly clear that Raiyek is under the control of the beholder prior to Raiyek's movement, then Vermitrax is well within his rights to designate Raiyek as an enemy.

 

[Voda Vosa]

I will roll an arcana check to see if Vermitrax identifies the spell: [roll0]
Skeleton attack just in case: [roll1]
Damage [roll2]

 

[Lord Sessadore]

[Sblock=OOC]While I would question the purpose behind attacking a dominated ally, I do also realize Vermitrax is evil. From that perspective I have little trouble seeing him attack Raiyek if he perceived Raiyek to be a threat, whether or not it makes sense to do so.

Besides, it is kind of funny.

[EDIT]Doesn't really matter anyway, the skeleton's attack would miss even with CA.[/EDIT]

In any case, IC is down and I haven't set myself up on any other rollers yet. @FourMonos, please roll my save if I don't get a chance before everyone else has acted.[/Sblock]

Lilli keeps the image of the Beholder in her magical crystal and conjures the Emerald Eye to help seek out vulnerabilities in the Beholder's psyche. Then, she opens an assault on the abomination's senses with an illusion of a flight of pixies jabbing tiny needles into the monster's many eyes.

[sblock=actions]Minor Action: Lilli uses Emerald Eye on the Beholder.

Emerald Eye (Encounter Minor Ranged 10 ✦ Arcane) Wizard Utility 6
Target: One Creature
Effect: Until the end of your next turn, you gain a +5 power bonus to Insight checks against the target and a +2 power bonus to attack rolls against the target's will.

Standard Action: With the help of Emerald Eye, Lilli uses Illusory Ambush on the Beholder - Total to Hit = 26, Damage = 16.

Illusory Ambush (At Will Standard Ranged 10 ✦ Arcane, Illusion, Implement, Psychic)
Target: One creature
Attack: +14 vs. Will
Hit: 1d6+10 Psychic damage and the target takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls until the end of your next turn.

If it hits, then Lilli gains Combat Advantage against the Beholder until the end of her next turn due to the Feat:

FEAT - Phantom Echoes: When you use an arcane illusion power and hit a target, you gain combat advantage against that target until the end of your next turn. If the illusion power has an effect that a save can end, you instead gain combat advantage against the target until it saves against that effect.

Move Action: Lilli starts in I19 and moves to L16.[/sblock]

Notes:

[FourMonos]

GM: You're a pretty savvy, arcane type. You know what the beholder's attacks are possible of and the Raiyek was not under his own control. That said, you can still have the skeleton smack him [MENTION=57255]Lord Sessadore[/MENTION] The domination is until end of next turn (character's not beholder), so the effect is now completed. [MENTION=79956]dimsdale[/MENTION] However, Lerrick has a save to end the petrify

 

[Voda Vosa]

OOC: Yeah, Vermitrax will sacrifice anyone to keep out of harm's way. I hoped to have interrupted the paladin's charge with the skeleton attack. Too bad he missed, heh. Hence, Vermitrax will use his amulet of resistance to absorb 10 of that damage, the attack deals 5 damage to him. Since it will be active until the end of Vermitrax's turn, it also absorbs the ongoing damage.

As the dominated paladin turns to charge the necromancer, the skeleton tries to chop him down, missing. Vermitrax curses, raising his amulet just in time to erect a barrier that absorbs most of Raiyek's blow. The sword however, cuts through, and slices the mage's arm.
"You almost cleave me in halves paladin! Keep your mind in the game!" Vermitrax scowls. "The enemy is there." Vermitrax points at the creature, and a burst of raw arcane energy erupts from his hand, impacting violently on the beholder.

[Neurotic]

OOC: @FourMonos, Illarion also used Seed of chaos and Flame spiral, both encounter spells. Also, this slew of low rolls nicely balances last round

Moving his head from one side to the other, seemingly lost in all the running, crumbling and shouting, Illarion tentatively steps from the group and quickly refocuses on the beholder.

His aim is wildly off, however, and his faintly screaming bolt slams into the house behind the beholder.

Drew flies toward the beholder the moment last gargoyle crumbles. Literally. Young monk crouches and spring up in the air, spreading his arms as if they are wings.
[sblock=Draconic]
"The dragon soars over the mountain"
[/sblock]

Coming on the beholder from above, the monk flips in the air and smashes both legs into the body of the beholder forcing it down onto the cobblestones landing lightly next to it and already starting to spin, not even waiting to see if the thing is still alive, for devastating round kick when the thing starts to get up.

[dimsdale]

Lerrick's smile disappears as another of the giant orb's eyes locks onto her. Foul magic engulfs the cleric causing her body to become rigid. She then witnesses in horror the paladin attack the necromancer. Oh my...glad it wasn't me.

She takes a deep breath, then closes her eyes to focus on breaking free.

save vs petrification: 1d20: (waiting for IC to come back )
