Epic Problem : Prevention
- Thread starter Jemal
- Start date
Noting the dark rider's wings and resiliance, Rhodia switches tactics. She stands up in the saddle and reaches upward with one hand imploringly. Even as the skies darken, a tiny opening lets a spear of holy radiance shine down from the heavens upon the elf, momentarily changing her visage from mortal to a being of pure light. A light that then erupts from her, leaping at the dark knight to burn him with the purity and intensity of the heavens itself.
(Note - Using another Maxed, Empowered blast, but this time it's Holy instead of Repelling. It will do +1 damage per die (+15 damage) to evil outsiders and undead. +40 to hit (including the bonuses I forgot last time) and does 90+9+15+(15d6/2).
Athearkepeskorn banks sharply, swinging up and around in a tight wingover manuever that sends him streaking back at the elder black. He opens his mouth and a storm of frost thunders out in a long cone, engulfing the diabolic dragon. More than just ice though, the frost crystals seem to blaze with inner light of their own, concentrating and focusing the ambient light into a cone of blinding, swirling stars!
(Blinding Breath. 14d8 cold damage. DC 48 Ref save for half. DC 48 fort save or be blinded.)

*Since Ivellious hasn't posted, and his char. is last in init, I'm gonna post the round up untill then to speed things along, as it tends to take me a while to write up these end-of-round reports.*
[sblock=Initiative]Silver Dragons
Minathiel
Lochlan & Zephyr
Dark Dragon & Warrior
Silver Knights
Mary
Dark Army
Athear & Rhodia
White Dragons
Tharivol & Xialanet [/sblock]
As combat rages below (the armies and Tharivol/Xialanet) and above (Silver's vs White's), Mary continues Singing, casting Sirens grace on herself and Inspiring Greatness to Minathiel, Rhodia, Tharivol, Lochlan, Zephyr, and the largest Silver (Takes place right before Athear's turn).
In what has become the central point of the combat, Minathiel strikes a more balanced attack form and swings repeatedly at the Dragon's tough hide, Splitting three scales (99,98,100damage). He can tell that the vast majority of his force is making it through to injure the dragon significantly (DR 9/-). Meanwhile, Lochlan takes care of his faithful injured steed.
The Warrior looks around on hearing his dragon roaring in pain, and with a flick of the wrist, sends a dark spear of energy hurtling at Lochlan (71 damage free action) before charging at the Archon.. (Smite Good/Power Attack, 207 damage overcomes your DR). The Dark Dragon itself rears back and breaths a powerful Stream of Acid at Minathiel (180 Acid damage, you made the save for half[90]) before moving away, heading for Athear. "Handle the Dragon and Paladin, I'll flay this Angel's wings from his bones!" the Warrior shouts in Abyssal (For any who speak it, he's loud).
[sblock=Athearkesporn, Mary]
Rhodia exclaims as she finally recognizes that the blasts the Warrior is shooting out are Eldritch Blasts.. more Powerful than her own.. Given that you've allready seen his combat prowess (Including Epic Blackguard Smiting), and combining your heads, I'll give you this : He's Gestalt Warlock and higher level. Judging from the size and abilities of the black, you're also guessing that it's an Advanced Great Black Wyrm.
[/sblock]
Athear, you close with the larger Black, unleashing cold fury, though the dragon's dark energy seems to reach out and absorb some of it (36 Cold damage. Failed save but magic prevented half the damage, also he's not blinded) as Rhodia blasts the Warrior with pure holy energy. Lightning flashes from the sky angrily as he cries out in pain(280 damage crit), and Acid begins to rain (4 acid damage to all. The silvers are immune, and the dark army seems to ignore it as well, but the good army; as well as civilians and structures within the city; won't fare so well.)
The Silver Dragons maintain their superiority over the White's by dropping 3 more and only loosing one of their own, and the Silver Knights continue advancing, pushing back the Dark Army with relative ease despite being outnumbered 5-1. The Mages who came out from the tower begin raining lightning and Acidic arrows down on the Dark army, but the hidden mages within the dark mass return fire, dropping one of the mages and destroying a small squad of Knights.
Tharivol drops off in the army, sending nearby soldiers fleeing in panic as Xialanet turns to go back to the aerial combat.
Current #'s (Combat Effective):
Lyrevan Knights - 250
Dark Army - 1400-1500
White Dragons(Large, probably young Adult) - 19
Silver Dragons(Medium-Large, probably Young/Juvenile) - 12
Distances : The Dark Dragon is 700' from the gates, Close to Athear/Rhodia/Mary and Zephyr/Lochlan. Minathiel and the Dark Warrior are a hundred feet from them in single combat. Tharivol is with the Silver Knights now, and Xialanet is on his way back to the Dark Dragon fight.
OOC NOTE : In addition to all you had last round, Mary has now Inspired Greatness : gain +6d10 HD(+con mods), +6 to attack and +3 to Fort saves all those she targeted.

OOC Sorry, was trying to figure out what I was going to do.
Land here Xialanet and let me off! Then you get back and help the others with the warrior and his dragon. I'm better suited here." Tharivol says to his companion. Xialanet turns her head to protest, but the paladin cuts here off, "Do it!"
The young dragon know she won't change his mind begins to land on the battlefield as the Half Elf lets out a battle cry that seems to erupt from the heavens themselves
OOC Info Uses Fear on the enemy army within 60ft veurs a dc of 29

Minathiel smiles at his winged opponent, speaking civilly, in celestial, "I am an Archon, Angels are similar, but different." His smile vanishes and he attacks
Still attacking with force, but with more caution, he swings his mighty greatsword, as he finishes his attack routine, his smile mockingly and vanishes, reappearing about 1000 feet away.
[sblock]
Boots of swiftness give Minathiel evasion, so ignoring the 90pts of acid damage from the dragon.
Full attack, Power Attack for 10, Quickshift out of melee, and with luck, out of the anticipate teleport. Not going to last long in direct confrontation with him.
AC: 60
HP(current)/HP(Max): 491/938 (add 6d10 + 156 (208))
Additional Defenses:saves: Fort +64 Refl +48 Will +53 Evasion, SR 39, Immunity to Electricity and petrification, DR 10/Evil or 15/Adamantine, Fire Resist 30
+74/+69/+64/+59 (+20 BAB, +32 Str, +6 Enhancement, +9 Morale, +6 Luck, +6 Competence, +1 Feat, +5 Epic, -1 Size, -10 Power Attack)
3d6 + 89 (+48 Strength +6 Enhancement +6 Luck +9 Morale +20 Power Attack) Damage is Epic, Magic, Adamantine, Good and Lawful for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction
Aura of Menace: DC39 Will save to the dragon (the rider will probably be out of range, 20' radius) or take a -2 to Attack, AC and Saves[/sblock]

Mary, seeing the enemy Blackguard/Warlock giving her allies so much trouble, decides to toss in a little bit of assistance to the battle aside from her previously described buffs. Rather than Using Divine Shield, she is going to cast Ray of the Python at the Blackguard. As a swift action she is going to activate her Inspire Heroics.
OOC: Touch Attack Roll is 58 (+45 to hit), Attempt to overcome SR is 34 (Caster Level 16). If it succeeds, the Blackguards movement rate is reduced by 10, it cannot make attacks of oppertunity, and it can only make 1 attack per round. (no save for the first round, ref save every round after to negate effect for 1 round (DC 34), lasts 1 minute)
After she has finished her previously stated actions, she looks around at her party battling against the evil foe, smiles, and says,
"I wish you all the best of luck. I'm afraid I am unable to help you in this endevor any further."
With that, shes moves to fall off of Athearkepeskorn, plunging herself into the hoard of darkness below. As she falls she puts away her Rod of Invulnerabilty into her glove of storing, pulls out her Rod of Quicken from her other glove of storing, draws her longbow, and readys for combat.
OOC: She draws her bow as part of her move action to fall off the dragon. She is now holding her Rod of Quicken in one hand, and her bow in the other. She also makes a tumble check of 46 (33 Ranks + 7 Dex + 2 Heroism) to reduce the falling damage by 30ft.

"Mary!" Athear blurts in alarm as the bard takes her swan dive. By sheer reflex, he exerts his will, and the air whips into a fierce updraft under the plunging human, buoying her fall to a safe speed. (Feather fall spell-like on Mary)
As the archon and paladin surge in on the dark warrior simultaneously, Rhodia looked between the approaching black dragon and the floating warlock/blackguard. We have to concentrate our powers...finish him once and for all, she decided....and used her last supercharged blast on the black knight once more.
Athearkepeskorn whipped his tail across the knight's back for good measure as he sped past.
(Woo! Go crit! Now, just like last time, with holy maxed, empowered blast doing 90+9+15+{15d6/2) damage, +40 ranged touch to hit, caster level for SR is 33...this time Athear will tailslap the knight, +59 to hit, 2d6+70 damage (power attacking for-10/+20). If the dark knight falls before Athear or Rhodia attack, they'll attack the black dragon instead.)
