Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gundark" data-source="post: 614052" data-attributes="member: 6148">final boss and the aoofew people have asked questions about the aoo that the creatures took.  Basically how it went down is that I presented a situation that the players thought was the showdown of the adventure or the "final boss". They wasted a lot of their good spells in the encounter ( the ones you save when something big comes along). They defeated the opposition and rescued the person they were after ( a love interest of one of the PCs). As they were leaving the Orge mage ( the real "final boss") and a earth elemental appeared as the PCs were leaving. They had the opportunity to escape to fight another day. But because I know my Players I knew that they would try to fight it out. The cleric in question had cast the spell that gives them a base attack of a fighter, and was at full HP and has a high AC (27), with a stoneskin spell in effect. So I think he was feeling a little cocky. The Elemental was between him and the Orge mage. Because the cleric was hasted he had enough movement to take 2 move actions which allowed him to get to and attack the orge mage with his extra partial action.  The elemental has a 15 foot reach and took his aoo hitting (+27) and doing damage. The orge mage has a 10 foot reach and took his aoo when the cleric entered his area, also doing damage. The next turn the elemental moved in 5 feet and took a full round action hitting 3 out the 4 attacks( one critcal hit). The cleric after taking lots of damage decided to get out of there on his next turn. again drawing aoo from both creatures (another critical from the elemental) at which point he got a little upset. Hopefully  that clears it up a bit.</blockquote>
