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

[Infiniti2000]

"Inconceivable! How can a parchment-wrapped buffoon be so difficult to hit? Well, I won't break down like so many of my brethren (mostly because I have no wiring)."

Spitfire attempts to grapple Griswold defensively. I'm not sure if you apply the penalty on the attack roll to the opposed grapple check, but since he only gets one try he wants to avoid getting hit so he'll do it regardless.

 

[PJSlavner]

Round 850

Griswold rebuffs the attempt (rolled 25), dealing 9 bludgeoning and 3 (Will save 20) negative energy damage. Spitfire has 28 HP remaining.

Griswold misses twice (both natural 1s).

 

[Infiniti2000]

Spitfire will continue his grapple attempts. Eventually Griswold will miss on the rebuff attempt and the combat will take a turn for the better for Spitfire. He hopes so, anyway. Maintain the defensive fighting until they are grappling (or dead).

That's twice you rolled two natural 1s in a roll. The last time was for Dino when he was fighting for Good.

 

[PJSlavner]

Round 851

Griswold again rebuffs the attempt, but barely so (rolled 23), dealing 9 bludgeoning and 12 (Will save 11) negative energy damage.

Griswold punches twice for 14 bludgeoning and 24 negative energy damage. Spitfire is killed. Griswold 125 HP remaining, and is located at 105N60E.

First in round 852 for Chaotic Evil is a dracotaur rager (Monster Manual III).

 

[Infiniti2000]

A reptilian centaur enters the arena at 105n20e and spits fire at Griswold. Donny Osmond has a battleaxe in one hand, and a hand axe in the other. After spitting the fire, Donny gets really angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.

 

[PJSlavner]

What does Donny do when he is angry, keep you out of the winner's circle?

Round 853

Donny misses with the glob of fire (rolled 14-6=8 for long range).

Griswold moves to 105N30E and punches Donny in the franistan (natural 20, natural 20 to confirm crit), and anyone who knows anything about draconic anatomy knows that being hit in the franistan really hurts. Griswold inflicts 16 points of bludgeoning and 3 (Will save 27) points of negative energy damage. Donny has 75 HP remaining.

 

[Infiniti2000]

Donny misses with the glob of fire (rolled 14-6=8 for long range).

-6? He's 35ft away and with a range increment of 20ft, isn't that only -2? (The first 20ft is free, and he's large, so its 35ft not 40ft.)

Donny really doesn't relish being hit in the franistan, so he attempts to chop up Griswold's umbathwop. Anyone who's made out of parchment knows you don't want your umbathwop chopped up. Full attack on Griswold. Time compress?

 

[PJSlavner]

-6? He's 35ft away and with a range increment of 20ft, isn't that only -2? (The first 20ft is free, and he's large, so its 35ft not 40ft.)

We both are wrong, but I am quite a bit more wrong. I forgot about him being 35 feet away because of his large size. The first 19 feet are free, but at 20 feet away, that is -2. (as soon as you hit the range increment distance, that is when you subtract 2). I subtracted for less than 20, then at 20, then at 40. I have no idea what I was thinking.

Donny hit with the fire (14-2=12), dealing 10 points of fire damage. Griswold has 115 HP remaining.

Time compression is fine.

Round 854

Donny hits with handaxe, missing with his three other attacks (rolled 30+2=32, best missing roll 25+2=27). Donny inflicts no damage with the handaxe (DR 7 or greater), but the impact of the weapon releases a choking cloud of dust from Griswold's umbathwop. Donny manages to keep from breathing in the dust (rolled 30+2=32 Fort save).

Griswold punches Donny twice, once in the franistan again, for a total of 32 bludgeoning and 11 negative energy damage. Donny has 32 HP remaining.

Round 855: Donny misses all four attacks (best roll 29+2=31).
Griswold punches once for 11. Donny at 21 HP.

Round 856: Donny misses. Griswold punches once for 15. Donny at 6 HP.
Round 857: Donny hits with handaxe once for 11-10=1 point of damage, but does not breathe in the cloud of dust (24+2=26 Fort save).
Griswold punches once in the franistan for 20. Donny is dead.

Griswold has 114 HP remaining, and is located at 105N30E.

(I sure rolled a bunch of 20s and 1s.)

First in round 858 for Chaotic Evil is a breathdrinker (Monster Manual II).

 

[Infiniti2000]

The upper torso of a man, but composed of energy, flies into the arena to 105n25e5z, attacks down at Griswold and then stares at him, then he turns invisible and continues flying straight up and over to 105n30e30z. Unless Griswold can see invisible, he gets no AoO.

 

[PJSlavner]

Round 858

Energy Man misses with his scythe (rolled 21+1=22). Griswold is still moving, even after being stared at.

Griswold looks up, but does not move from 105N30E.
