[Living Pathfinder] Little Rock of Horrors

[sblock=GlassEye]Where did the body end it's move when it shambled after Pari? Makes a difference in the placement of his summoned dog.

Also, I'd like to apply the 'Celestial' template to the dog - this would not raise it's CR and it looks as though it's permissible, but I'm new to the summoning game. Is this allowed?[/sblock]

[sblock=Mowgli]You cannot Summon Celestial versions of animals with Summon Nature's Ally. If you look at Summon Monster you will see it specifically calls out that creatures have the fiendish or celestial template. Summon Nature's Ally offers typically better, and generally more varied, summons than its counterpart and certainly needs no further boosts.

Its also a flavor difference SNA is summoning an animal a natural creature while SM is summoning an outsider.[/sblock]

ooc: for posterity, I am post one more action, just in case the round is hung up on me.

watching the heqd dodge the majority of the flame, he tries one mor time, along with a curse, "blast it zum Glück!"

[sblock=Judge AF]Thanks, AF! I was looking at SNA and didn't see anything forbidding it, but didn't think to look at SM to see if it was specifically allowed there.[/sblock]

OOC: Yep. What AF said. (Thanks, AF). And updated map posted.

Seeing the grotesque body in hot pursuit, Pari quickly wraps up his summoning. A small dog appears behind the shambling corpse, immediately trying to hamstring the thing as Pari goes to work with his scythe.

Round Three

Pari and the summoned hound savage the corpse of the lighthouse keeper but it continues its attack. It throws a fist at the small druid with the weight of its dead body behind the punch but in its clumsiness it doesn't even connect.

The head swoops on Garnet with flashing teeth and takes another nibble. Barely a moment later Heinrich again lays down a line of fire and burns the head. It bursts into flame!

OOC: Continuing Round Three. Garnet is up, followed by Mariah & Pari.

HA! sehr gut!

[sblock=OOC]Not sure how much time I'll have to post later today, so just in case I'll put a couple of contingency actions here.

If the body is still alive when Pari's up he'll attack it - his damage should kill it (again) I think. Assuming the dog can reach the head (I don't know how low it's flying, but if it's coming in low enough to hit Garnett the dog should be able to reach it) the dog will attack the head.

If Mariah attacks and kills the body, Pari will move to J6 to set up the flank with Garnett and attack the head instead.[/sblock]

[sblock=Actions/Rolls]Pari attacks (1d20+2=20) for (1d6=3) damage.
Dog attacks (1d20+2=15) for (1d4+1=4) damage.[/sblock]

Taking aim once more at the floating cranium in the room. Curses exiting her mouth in the infernal language. If words were physical hers would be as sharp as the tips of her arrows.
