CE vs. N (FFA): Very Young Howling Dragon vs. Thunder Worm

[PJSlavner]

It says darkness (not italicized) hampers movement. It does not say that shadowy illumination hampers movement.

 

[Infiniti2000]

It says darkness (not italicized) hampers movement. It does not say that shadowy illumination hampers movement.

So, the darkness spell isn't darkness?

 

[Gansk]

It says darkness (not italicized) hampers movement. It does not say that shadowy illumination hampers movement.

It says poor visibility hampers movement. Both fog and shadowy illumination (conditions that grant concealment) should qualify as poor visibility.

 

[PJSlavner]

Tempo Drake manages to withstand the evil yuckiness (20 Will save), but still takes 5 points of damage. Tempo Drake has 6 HP remaining.

Round 726

Tempo Drake appears at 65N15E and bites, wing buffets, and claws twice for 53-20=33 points of damage. Sammy is one dead rat-thing.

Next in round 726 for Chaotic Evil is an annis (hag) (Monster Manual).

 

[Infiniti2000]

An extremely ugly and tall woman, weighing over 300 pounds charges into the arena to 65n0e and claws the dragon. Paula Poundstone, hunched over from years working the broom, flexes her powerful muscles as she attacks Tempo. The Neutrals plan to file a claim to the Board to do a chromosome test on Paula.

 

[PJSlavner]

Paula pounds dirt (natural 1).

Round 727

Tempo Drake shifts to 65N10E, and claws, wings, and tail slaps Paula for 42-2=40 points of damage. Paula has 5 HP remaining.

 

[Infiniti2000]

Paula rips Tempo apart!

 

[PJSlavner]

Paula does not rip anything, except maybe her clothes in frustration. She misses all three times, once with claw due to Tempo's disappearing trick.

Round 728

Tempo hits only with two wings, but that is enough, buffeting for 21 points of damage. Paula is booed soundly by the Chaotic Evil side. Maybe she would have fared better telling jokes instead of trying to fight.

Next in round 728 for Chaotic Evil is a babau (demon) (Monster Manual).

 

[Infiniti2000]

Barbara the babau demon moves into position at 60n10e (provoking an AoO). She then attempts to summon her brother Bobby at 75n10e, who will get flanking and sneak attack and Bobby will do the honors.

 

[PJSlavner]

Tempo, not realizing Barbara is planning a spell-like ability, takes the AoO, biting for 21-10=11 points of damage, and keeping the red slime of himself (26 Ref save). Barbara has 55 HP remaining. Barbara must have rilmani blood in her, because Bobby shows up (rolled 06%), and claws once for 16 points of damage. Tempo is dead.

Round 729

A large, transparent, feral tiger flies (yes, flies) into the arena to 65N10E10Z. Bobby and Barbara feel strangely exhilarated from the tiger's presence. Barbara heals up to 54 HP, and Bobby heals up to 65 HP. Bobby avoids any ill effects from the exhilaration (rolled 21 Fort save).

Tempo Drake reappears at 65N10E, apparently in full health. He looks at Barbara, who disappears (rolled 11 Will save). Tempo Drake disappears immediately after.

To recap: Bobby Babau is at 75N10E, at 65 HP (one more than maximum).
Tiger, Tiger, Burning Bright is at 65N10E10Z, and unharmed.

Next in round 729 for Chaotic Evil is a marzanna (Frostburn). I am going to need some help with this one, please.
