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

[PJSlavner]

Jorge (cannot put the accent in) has two doses of poison, so one bolt and the scimitar are poisoned, with no doses left.

Round 154: It does not matter that Jorge's bolt was poisoned, because it flew over the snake (rolled 10). The snake slithers to 45N40E.

 

[Infiniti2000]

Charge to 45N35E and slice the snake in twain!

 

[PJSlavner]

Round 155: Jorge's charge does not quite slice the snake in twain (rolled 19+2=21 for charge), but it deals 9 points of damage, so the snake is at -6 HP and dying. Jorge is out of poison.

Gansk will let you know what comes out next to deal with Jorge.

 

[Gansk]

Round 155

A horselike creature charges to 45N40E. On the top of its head is a massive ridge of bone that ends in two parallel nose-horns.

It tries to gore Jorge with its nose, but bounces off his armor instead. (Rolled 9+2=11)

 

[Infiniti2000]

Jorgé finds this combat amusing. He mutters in a strange mixture of common and orcish, surprising probably everyone viewing the combat (he can talk?), "Looks like I see me some new drinking horns."

Attack! Time compress, please!

 

[Gansk]

Round 156: Jorge misses. He stops laughing when the branta gores him for 7 and hooks on, pulling him into its square. The branta also kicks Jorge in the groin for another 5 as he gets pulled in. Jorge has 1 hp left.

Round 157: Jorge fails to unhook himself. The branta throws Jorge 25 feet to the south! Jorge takes 7 points of damage when he lands and is dying.

Next up for CE: a vasuthant. (MM III) It goes first in round 158.

 

[Greybar]

The vasuthant floats in, a menacing body of smoky evil. The light seeps out of the area around it.

(double MEA: Fly to 60N60E)
(Note to GM: The vasuthant will use its Alter Reality ability upon every opportunity. This beastie will be much less dangerous since it's opponents won't be vulnerable to the str-draining crush ability.)

[sblock]
AC: 17, fly 30" (perfect), slam +2 melee (1d4)
[/sblock]

 

[PJSlavner]

The horse trots over to 50N45E and gores (reroll was 19, 97% miss chance roll) for 7 points of damage and pulls the vasuthant into its space with its horn. (28 vs. 10 grapple check). V has 10 HP remaining.

Round 158: The vasuthant hits the horse (natural 20 on reroll, no crit (rolled 17-4=13 for grappling)) for 2 ponts of damage. The horse has 23 HP remaining.
The horse shakes V off, but does not throw V (12 vs. rerolled 13). V has no more uses of Alter Reality available.
Round 159: V misses. Horse misses (one hoof missed because of darkness).
Round 160: V misses. Horse misses.
Round 161: V hits for 2. Horse gores for 9 and hoofs for 5. V is dead. The horse has 21 HP remaining, and is at 50N45E.

First in round 162 for Chaotic Evil is a displacer serpent (Miniatures Handbook).

 

[Greybar]

A shadowy black serpent slithers in, raises up its head and begins weaving back and forth as it looks towards the horse-thing.

(MEA: 60N100E, Std: readied attack)

(if horse-thing closes, full attack and timecompress)

 

[PJSlavner]

Round 162: H-T trots to 50N95E, DS misses (rolled 7), but H-T misses as well (rolled 9).
Round 163: DS misses (rolled 13). H-T would have hit with one hoof, but aimed at the wrong place.
Round 164: DS bites for 10. H-T misses (dang displacement). H-T is at 11 HP.
Round 165: DS bites for 7. H-T hits with hoof for 6, but aims at the wrong space with horn. DS has 13 HP remaining, and H-T has 4 HP remaining.
Round 166: DS bites for 10. H-T is at -6 and dying. DS can take a MEA before the next Neutral creature comes into the arena.
