[QUOTE="The_Warlock, post: 2101695, member: 21215"] Ok, doesn't look good (of course that's what my PCs said when the Very Old Green dragon appeared - and they killed her without even a death - though there were a couple whack-a-PC healing events). Suggestions: Summon something, ANYTHING, to keep those mageslayers off you. Use the Slime wave while you still have the stats to cast it - it doesn't allow SR, and a 1 on a reflex save is still a failure, even for a Slaad and gith mageslayers, and that would screw them out of hit points fast. Really, if you are boned, might as well try it. Is the archer dominated and IN the queens anti-magic field? If not - get somebody over there and either cast a protection from evil on him, or subdue his woodsy butt. If you can't reliably restore him to your team, putting him down gently at least means he ain't on their side. Wait, what is Telepathy Block? Does that block ANY telepathic intrusion into a mind? If so, can you put it on the ranger to stop the "telepathic" commands the Gith is giving him? If yes...do it, you sure need a missile silo more than they do. I absolutely agree with the prayer casting, and any other group buffs, if you can't reliably affect your enemies with spells, affect yourselves. Also, anything you can do to keep the Slaad King from seeing you seems to be a good thing. If he can't target you, he can't disintegrate you. On a side note, if you could summon a templated mind flayer, they are CR 8, you'd have to find a +1 CR template to fit them in on you summon sevens. Or an elemental - something with high Con, high DR to soak more damage for you. Anybody got Polymorph? 3.5 rules grant you the type (egads!!), so turn into a treant (plant creature) or something else that is inherently resistant to mental attacks like an Ooze of some sort (I've always like black puddings, since if you hit you get a chance to ruin certain types of materials outside the normal modus operandi of "Character didn't fails save, items are hunky dory") That's all I got...
