[QUOTE="hong, post: 3443049, member: 537"] Happiness is rolling 4 critical hits in a row on a Colossal overworm, with haste, Power Attack and pouncing charge. 20, 18 (Improved Crit), 19, 20. 298 points of damage before DR, 238 after. But it was still standing (or squirming), so I hit it again with greater insightful strike for another 100 points. But it still refused to die, so I hit it again with true strike + diamond nightmare blade. And rolled another 20, for 270 points. I described it as starting on one side of the thing and cutting straight through to the other side, in one smooth motion. Because of evasion, I didn't even mess my perfect hair. In the next fight, the wiz blasted 12 Kyuss knights with a maximised meteor swarm; they charged; and the cleric hit them with mass heal. I got there just in time for one of them to drop at my feet. We needed some cigars, that's for sure. Alhaster in the middle of the Kyuss onslaught has a certain New York + Ghostbusters vibe to it. This session was pretty much summed up by those fights. Geoff (the DM) also used some of my NPC villain classes (see D&D link in sig) against us, but they didn't achieve much. Well, except for the last fight with the chief Kyuss knight, who challenged the dwarf to a duel. The dwarf ripped him a new one, but got hit in turn by the Kk's eye tentacle attacks, draining him down to Int 0. We called it a draw; the dwarf called it a win because the bad guy dropped first. Speaking of the dwarf, it's not good when he fails a save vs confusion and decides to lay into the party -- in particular, into me. But I ran away next round, leaving a trail of blood and urine, while the dwarf stood around doing nothing. We dealt with that easily enough, by the cunning strategem of waiting for it to wear off. Finally reached 20th level. Picked up time stands still, and swapped out claw at the moon for raging mongoose. Those two plus haste = 10 attacks on a full round action. The DM pointed out that if I had Scribe Martial Script, I could put TST into a script and give it to the dwarf. Ick! NEXT session we'll most likely be meeting both Lashonna and Kyuss. That should be slightly different. [/QUOTE]
