CN vs. N: Chaotic Neutral Victorious!

[Infiniti2000]

Let's try that again. Too bad I can't keep this up all day. I move to 20N5E and pummel him, yes pummel, again.

OOC: Can that be done defensively? I'd say not, but thought it would be okay to ask.

 

[PJSlavner]

OOC: No, and total defense is a standard action, so you cannot do that, either.

Yes, gIs did pummel this time, doing 6 points of damage. Flaming rock-man has 4 HP left.

Flaming rock-man misses badly again (rolled a 10).

 

[Infiniti2000]

In common, for the benefit of the crowds, "Your mind is weak, flaming rock-boy. Let's see about your body."

I attack the rock-man with my shortsword, hoping to conserve the psionics for the next victim, er, opponent. I then take a step to 15N10E.

OOC: I didn't mean total defense, but fighting defensively. I also limit it to attacking with weapons, but I wasn't sure whether that's clear in the rules. In other words, can you combine it with casting ray of enfeeblement, disarm, trip, etc. (I say no on all, but I know some say okay).

 

[PJSlavner]

OOC: We say no to all, also.

Your attack is successful (rolled 17), inflicting 6 points of damage. F-Rock-man is at -2HP and dying.

A donkey-sized scorpion runs to 20N10E. Go ahead, gIs.

 

[Infiniti2000]

"For the love of all that is githy, can I have a moment's peace to ready for the next combatant? I should have joined the rrakkma." githInfiniti-san snarls in anger, attacking the scorpion with his shortsword (defensively) and then stepping back to 10N5E.

"At least it isn't a baboon." gIs remembers the 36 seconds of combat in Hades and shudders.

OOC: It looks like the scorpion has to run through my threatened square 20N15E to get to 10E. The position in this case doesn't matter a whole lot, so I assume the scorpion probably stops in the first available threatening square. Otherwise, gIs would take his AoO with weapon in hand. gIs's actions do not otherwise change.

 

[PJSlavner]

No rest for the Chaotic.
Yes, the scorpion stopped one square short.
gIs makes contact, but the sword does not penetrate the scorpion's chitin (rolled 17-4=13 for fighting defensively).
The scorpion takes a 5-foot step to 15N10E and misses badly with both claws and its sting.

 

[Infiniti2000]

I am really not looking forward to get hit by that stinger, so continued fighting defensively bt staying put for now.

My bow sure has been a lot of help.

 

[PJSlavner]

I can time compress this, if you will not change your strategy.

You miss (rolled 14-4=10 for f.d.)

The scorpion hits with one claw (rolled 20 and 15) for 2 points of damage and a sting (natural 20, no crit) for 1 point of damage. gIs has 2 hit points left. The scorpion tries to hold you with its claw but you are too big. You succomb to the sting's poison (rolled 7 on Fort save) and take 2 points of Con damage. You have 1 hit point left and your Constitution is at 10.

 

[Infiniti2000]

"Argh!"

Take a step back to 5N0E, drop my last concussion blast on the scorpion, then pick up my bow in my other hand (might as well). This doesn't look good.

 

[PJSlavner]

The concussion blast dinks the scorpion for 1 point of damage (it's feast or famine with that power, isn't it?). The scorpion has 12 HP left.

The scorpion takes a step to 10N5E, hitting with one claw (rolled 20, 15, 0) for 5 points of damage. gIs is at -4 and dying.

Next for CN is a planetouched (chaond) (MM II), with the chaond going first. Gansk will be running this combat now.
