Epic Problem : Prevention

(er...I just looked back to the summary for last turn, and I didn't see any changes. We're talking about the same turn, right? The turn where I got grappled by Big Black and Abyssal?)

Edit: Psst. Still need to resolve Rhodia. ;)

Yeah, weird.. It won't edit again... I just tried again and it says "POst too short, please use at least 3 characters"

it's WAY more than 3 characters, though..

EDIT : OK, figured it out.. Somehow I had added Quote tags to the beginning and end of the post.. weird..
 

(this assumes Rhodia's blast from last turn was -not- successful in breaking the grapple. I'll edit if it turns out to have worked)

"Rhodia," Athearkepeskorn calls, "we're getting some space!"

The elf nods and spears the great black dragon with a blast of holy power, then holds on tight. Athear concentrates through the pain of the grapple and wounds, and speaks a word of power that teleports him in a heartbeat 400 feet away from the dark dragon, on the far side of the dread black knight.

(Rhoda does 15d6+9 plus another 15 damage if the black dragon is an "evil outsider." +34 ranged touch to hit, no specials other than the holy damage. Athear concentrates (pretty much autosuccess, Concentration is +47, DC is 24, and casts Dimension Door to the location described. That oughtta be farther than the black dragon can wing...we hope. :))

*OOC*: So noted, I edited to add the 90 damage. And actually, no.. not a crit, a special attack... but on the bright side, it's a standard action so he can only do it 1/round.

OOC: Yeah, that's so much better. :p

~Round 6~

Lochlan aims another series of powerful blows against the dark warrior, then directs Zephyr to pull back.

OOC: Lochlan -> Full Attack, Smite on the first two attacks. Zephyr -> Withdraw after Lochlan's attack is complete.

Islo Round 6

[sblock=initiative]
Silver Dragons
Minathiel
Lochlan & Zephyr
Dark Dragon & Warrior
Silver Knights
Mary
Dark Army
Athear & Rhodia
White Dragons
Tharivol & Xialanet [/sblock]

The dragons have all regrouped and now clash into one another with renewed fury, blood and scales flying as 3 white's and a silver come crashing down.

From the heaven's Minathiel returns, a silvery comet streaking from the sky and into the Dark Warrior, distracting him from Lochlan (120 damage) as the Paladin bashes him repeatedly with his staff (127,129,36,35), before Zephyr gets him out of harms way.

The Warrior looks back at Lochlan, then to the Archon, and decides to deal with the Archon. "I've scraped better angels than you off my boots." he snarls in abyssal, his sword once again glowing with black energy as he smashes it into Minathiel (339 damage). The Dragon continues using it's powerful wings to keep both itself and Athear airborne as it bites (54) and claws (41,37) at him, and smashing Rhodia with it's tail(74, overcomes DR). As this happens, Hail errupts from the sky, covering most of the city and bashing into the silver knights, as well as a large chunk of the dark army that's near the city (15 damage.). Several of the allready injured knights collapse, as do about a hundred of the enemy army.

The Silver Knights reel from the recent devastating attacks, but rally behind Tharivol and renew their fight, quickly regaining their ground as most of the nearby enemies are dropped by the storm.

Mary stands with her bow and begins firing streaking lines of death through the army, the first cuts a path out of sight, and the others drop many more.

The Dark Army stays warily back, those that weren't caught in the storm staying out of reach of the hailstones, turning instead on the hundred or so lone knights that have been moving through their ranks, leaving about 50' of empty space between the two main armies.

Rhodia blasts the Dark Dragon with Holy power (71 damage) as Athear dissapears, reappearing hundreds of feet above them with a sigh of relief. As he reappears, something catches Athear's superior draconic vision, a small orb moving through the clouds, directly at the center of the Storm above Islo, about 900 feet away from him, above the city.

Xialanet reaches the Dark Dragon in time to realize that Athear has just dissapeared, and he is now alone with this huge monster. Fighting through the wave of sudden unexpected fear, he Bites down hard on the larger dragon, but fails to penetrate it's adamantine-like scales as it growls menacingly down at it's new prey.

Current #'s (Combat Effective):
Lyrevan Knights - 200
Dark Army - 1100
White Dragons(Large, probably young Adult) - 16
Silver Dragons(Medium-Large, probably Young/Juvenile) - 9

Distances : The Dark Dragon is 700' from the gates, fighting Zialanet. Athear/Rhodia are 400' above them. Minathiel is in Melee with the Dark Warrior a hundred feet away, Zeph/Lochlan are about a hundred feet from the Warrior. Tharivol and Mary are on the ground.


*OOC : Ivellious, I think you forgot to include ALL of Mary's buffs.. Xialanet should have a total of +21 to attacks and + 9 damage (+6 strength mod for strength related damage).
 

(OOC - are either the dark dragon or the dark knight showing signs of damage? Any way to tell if either one of them are anywhere near dropping? Also, based on where the orb is and how it's moving, does it look like it may have originated from the city or the dark army?)

Sorry, was supposed to use your 'close encounter' with the Dragon to point this out.. The Dark Warrior has no signs of damage, as he's encased completely in armour, and the Dragon, when you saw him up close, appears to have many gashes and gars, though many of them look to have been magically healed. (Though neither the Dragon or Warrior have cast any spells that you've seen). The Orb looks like it's moving around on it's own, first one way, then another, as though it's alive and trying to get a good view.
 

Mary grits her teeth in determination as she continues to fire away, blasting lines out of the enemy horde. Even as she fights on, her song continues to reach across the masses to all the good souls on the battlefield.

OOC: As a swift action, she will use Inspire Excellence to give everyone +12 to Dex (taking 51 Subduel damage). Then Mary attacks again with her bow, attacking with +66, +62, +67, Nat 1, +49. she deals 37, 34, 34, and 33 damage on her hits.
 

As Minathiel swings his blade, he says in a remarkably calm voice, "Archon. If you are going to insult me, at least use the correct terminology."

Waiting for the last possible second, he disappears again, only to reappear 700 feet above the combat.

Full Attack Power attack 15, quickshift up 700 feet at the end of the action.

"The dragon is regenerating," Athear spits...even as his own wounds slowly close as well. "No doubt it's master has the same power. We must focus and concentrate our power if we're to have any impact! Starting with the knight!"

The great silver dragon tilts into a dive at the winged warrior of the dark, pulling out just in time to deliver a solid wallop with his tail as he whickers past. Rhodia, having saved her inner strength for just this moment, unleashes a mighty blast of holy power as Athearkepeskorn descends.

(Tailslap is +62 to hit (including the +3 competence I forgot last time, and +2 for charging), with -10 power attack, doing 2d6+73 damage. Rhodia's blast is +40 to hit as ranged touch, and does 90+9+15 (if he's evil outsider) + (15d6/2). Athear will be pulling out at 20' range, to make use of the reach of his tailslap to try to avoid a counter attack. If it's important, he has AC62 with the boost to dex, and including the -2 from charging.)

(Switch attacks to Dark Dragon if the knight falls before they act :))
