A Spiked Drink

[Songdragon]

The halfling is on the new foe as soon as her elven companion moves the orc into a striking position. She moves a few steps and being opposite one of her companions uses the distraction to strike out with her small blade up into the orc's sensitive areas...

((Move to H-19, quick draw weapon, and attack the now flanked opponent 1d20+9=22 and if hit 1d4+2d6=12 damage ))

"I'll be with you in a moment," whispers Holphin to his plutonic companion. He holds his ground, peers through the door, and starts casting a spell.

Emet, in the meantime, joins Daylily inside (at I15) ready to strike whoever approaches.

The giant that is Emet seems to only get bigger as he moves forward, while Holphin channels more power into Emet.

Saranna is able to get behind the first thug, and is able to get a wound most grievous. However, the Thug growls in anger as the halfling removes the rapier, club ready to strike back.

The other two in the room finally have a chance to move. The thug moves forward, hoping to smack down the elf that moved forward. A loud THUNK is heard as the Thug hits Daylily across the head.

The heavily armored half orc takes one look at the elf in front of him, and roars in sudden fury. Charging forward, matching only a speed Daylily can, he raises the curved sword high, swinging down hard with both hands, and cuts a gaping wound across the elf's chest.

END OF ROUND 1. Relic to start off round 2.

[sblock=OOC] Wierd ... I posted my turn last night ... it seems to have disappeared completely ...

With Daylilly about to die if he gets hit again by that insane damage it might be time to talk tactics.

[MENTION=23494]Songdragon[/MENTION] Would you like me to delay Relic until after you have had another shot at taking down the Thug with CAdv?

Or should I just make the most of the fact he's out of OA's at the moment and go in to help Daylilly? I'm guessing that with such massive damage Boss must be high level and so I really don't think Sleep will affect him.

Thoughts? [/sblock]

 

[Songdragon]

[sblock=Tactics Talk] Yes the flanking would help Saranna, otherwise she will only do 1d4 dmg. At the same time, do what you think Relic would do. He just saw his big barbarian friend take a very nasty hit.

Yeah, the +15 damage is concerning. Trying to figure out where all that came from too, that seems a little insane at our level.[/sblock]

 

[Systole]

[sblock=Tactics] @jbear First off, move away from the thug, because he's about to have a turn and start AoOing again. (EDIT: Unless you want to flank bait for Saranna. You can cast safely on your turn.)

Your best bet is probably Murderous Command on the boss, especially seeing as you have first-hand knowledge of how well that works on barbarians -- he's probably rocking a +3 or +4 Will save, and maybe less if he dumpstatted Wis, which is likely given his 18 Str. The boss is at least level 4 if he's power attacking with +15 damage (unless that's a +3 weapon), and may be higher than that, so sleep is iffy.

Daylily will be knocking down the boss next round (unless the boss fails his save and starts murdering his teammates). If you're melee, you may want to be in range for an AoO when he stands.

@Songdragon - 18 base strength + 4 rage strength = 22 Str for +6 damage. 2H weapon is 1.5 x strength bonus = +9 damage. Power attack is +6 damage at BAB of 4 or higher, with 2H weapon. Total of +15.[/sblock]

 

[Songdragon]

[sblock=Tactics Talk]Wow... as I said... insane!

Question... I am not sure the size of Emet, but if he was medium and went to large with an enlarge person spell, would he not have had an AoO of the thugA that moved up beside him? Does nto effect anything really... but hey an extra few points on the "help", might help! [/sblock]

 

[jackslate45]

Enlarge person is a round cast, so he has yet to reach full size. Also, Emet had not resolved the AoO against the "boss", which I will roll after class.

EDIT: Besides, I have absolute faith no PC character will die.

 

[jbear]

[sblock=Hehehe]
a faith I'd love to share but don't quite right at the moment.

I'd love to do Murderous Command but the DC is low. DC 13 instead of DC 15 if I move in and hit him with Colour Spray. And that would leave Saranna with only Holphin to flank with which he may not want to do.

If I delay it seems the thug is going to avenge the stab he has received. Hopefully Saranna can hit him again and kill him leaving Relic free again to cast with no OA's. But it all depends on the dice ...

last thoughts of input? Then Relic will act.

Emet strikes at the boss as he approaches.

Holphin finishes his spell, and the mountain that is Emet grows even larger. His first action is to pummel the boss with all the fury he can muster. In the meantime, Holphin approaches to the doorway and casts Grease on the boss's weapon.

[sblock=Actions]
Holphin finishes casting, and casts Grease (DC 15). Emet full attacks with Power Attack.
