[COMBAT] The Reconquista

[Rhun]

Seeing his foe helpless, Reivik takes the time to line up a terrible blow of Bar, hoping to take the evil demon down in a single blow.


OOC: Coup de grace attempt vrs. the demon (using full power attack...so 1d12+20 x4 damage).

 

[Branding Opportunity]

1st Attack using Improved Trip (+10 touch attack, Strength check should succeed automatically with no real resistance, though maybe you still want to roll something because the demon is so big), then follow-up with +12 (if the demon falls) and another attack at +12 (Haste) as well as her 2nd attack at +7 (prone: AC -4). Damage is 2d6+8+1d6(Starmetal)+6(PA) (assuming Magebane doesn't help here).

Interesting question whether he automatically fails the Str check. As he has an effective Str score of 0, so in game terms he really has no ability to resist. In addition, the trip attack already has a built in limitation that you can only trip creatures that are one size larger than yourself. So no opposed Str check for the demon; you automatically trip it if you can hit its touch AC. Should have advanced him to Huge size

I finally looked more closely at the Magebane ability. I didn't realize it also affects creatures with arcane spell-like abilities. Wow, that's powerful. Everyone and their gnome grandmother has arcane spell-like abilities. Kind of makes all other bane weapons obsolete, and for only a +1 adjustment. Hmmm.

On the other hand, looking up the hezrou's spell-like abilities, the majority are divine. I'm going to rule that this demon's spell-like abilities are divine in nature, and that Magebane sadly does not apply.

Ordering Beau forward, Morley maintains his bow and rushes up to the frozen Demon.

That's why I said, that I assume it not to work here... having it work against everyone with SLA is just way too powerful.

It should probably work, when a creature has mostly arcane spells as SLA, that's considerably less common.

Anastasia Winterheart

"If there are no objections...." She says amusingly to the group before eyeing the held demon. With small smirk and a soft tone she says, "Reivik, would you be so kind as to expose this 'thing's' pea sized brain to daylight."


OOC: Do not forget to add full power attack on that Coup de grace, it is a big creature after all.

 

[hafrogman]

Gregor lumbers forward, squeezing his not inconsiderable bulk between his comrades as he circles around the monster ready to lend a . . . paw if it manages to survive that long.

[sblock=ooc]Double move to west side of the beast, one square south so as to not be squeezed.[/sblock]

[Rhun]

Reivik growls deep in his throat and steps toward the nearest shadow, attacking it through the bars of the Marquis' cell.

His normal tactics having proven dangerously ineffective against the last shadows, Gregor is forced to improvise as best he can. His form melts away once again, leaving Gregor the dedraggled human standing, looking terribly uncertain. He chants a few words of power as he considers the encroaching dead.

[James Heard]

Annoyed and horrified, Mavic waves off the elf assassin and hisses at him. "The Shadows man, lo the Shadows!"

Fervently praying that such does not dissolve any necessary wards laid upon his liege, Mavic utters Mordenkainen's 6^th degree treatise on abjurational wardings against magic, flinging the tiniest pinch of iron fillings in the air which glow and then suddenly radiate outwards from him into a perfect proof circle then disappear.

"Ware the edges of the proof, the creatures cannot abide it nor strike at us but that doesn't mean they do not lurk within range of weaponry," he shouts.

As the Shadows wink out of existence within the ward, Eshanna looks uncertainly toward the Marquis and makes herself ready for any sudden moves of the poor man.
