Escaping the Labyrinth

[sblock=ooc]I'm back and I posted here since then, which was the 1st time Carl used vitriolic blast. It's OK, he probably would have done the same thing again.[/sblock]

Carl is rather alarmed when the tough troll goes down. If the monster is still up, he'll try to go all out this time, though only his first blast of acid seems to have any effect.

[sblock=ooc]vitriolic blast, 22 to hit touch, 20 damage before resist 10;

If the monster is still up after that, quickened empowered eldritch blast, which didn't beat SR[/sblock]

Also, Walking dad - As your character has no knowledge of what this thing is or what it can do, I'm going to need a very good reason you would choose to use a Sonic ability with a fort save against it. It's a large creature, and thus likely better at fort saves than reflex saves, and you have no idea what it's immune/resistant to.

[sblock=ooc]It is very easy. Thunderous breath is Darius newest, strongest breath and he wants to show of. Also, he prefers to do ice or sonic breath. Having seen this creatures ice attacks and ice wall he didn't use ice himself for his attack. He uses fire only if there is a clear benefit or he needs a line effect.

As Rhokkan lay twitching but not dead, Savlin finally manages to shake off the icy grip of fear, charging back in and drawing Bleeder, wishing he hadn't dropped his other sword in his original panic.

Darius steps forward and immunizes the familiar(gogo See invis.:D) and it assaults the beast before stepping back, another blast of acid zooming in between the familiar and Darius as Carl blasts the creature yet again.
The beast seems to consider the situation for a moment. It appears badly wounded, and begins Concentrating.. When nothing happens, it growls in frustration, Pushing past the summoned Bearded Devil as it runs down the corridor, ignoring the Bearded Devil's clumsy attack.

Lucky you guys, it failed the Summoning Percentiles.

a few things of note.
[sblock=Walking Dad]You just happened to use the ability that it isn't resistant against, which seemed suspicious to me since your character is supposed to know nothing about it. As such, I asked WHY.
Your response would have been perfectly fine except for this:
Using your highest level power shouldn't need more explanation. Or do you ask wizards why they use acid arrow if they have magic missle avaiable?
Yes, actually, I do if their opponent happens to be strong against magic missile or weak against acid and they don't know that In Character. Especially since Magic Missile is usually a better choice, dealing more damage and auto-hitting. (Much like with your ability which was changed to a Fort Save vs a large, tough-looking creature, hence making me wonder 'why?') Either way though, it shouldn't matter. When asked a question by your DM, it's considered good manners to answer it without being snarky/disrespectful (Such was the tone I got from your response, whether it was intended or not). I'm not trying to say you're cheating or metagaming, just that when something pops up that makes me wonder why, I AM going to ask for, and expect, a reasonable answer. I expect this won't be the first time, and you won't be the only one to receive such a question, but if you take it personally, this won't be a fun campaign for either of us.[/sblock]

Secondly, Invocations are spell-like abilities that provoke attacks of opportunity, and the beast has 10' reach. I'm ruling that you noticed this (it did attack the troll from 10' away) and are casting defensively, so I'll roll the concentration check for you.
Concentration, DC 17 (1d20+19=36) Succeeds (didn't nat 1), so nothing changes. *EDIT: Actually should've been DC 18, the 17 was a typo, but it changes nothing*

Couple notes for ALL - When Moving, please post how far you move, so I don't have to check your character sheets for any movement effects you may have. (I checked this time, just keep in mind for future posting)
ALSO, I appreciate some you trying to lend a hand, but I'd much rather you at least PRETEND you don't know what the monster is. Unless you successfuly made the knowledge check (Which was only Albedo), your character has no idea what it is, and as such, I'd prefer ZERO metagaming (such as pointing out it's Resistances[Kinem], talking about/reading about it's AC, saves, or anything else like that). If your character doesn't know what the monster is, then try and ignore your OWN information about it (And please, if you don't allready know about it, don't go reading up on it till after the fight).

Bearded Devils AoO on the Ice Devil for rushing past: AoO (1d20+13=14, 1d10+9=14) Nat 1.

Feeling the combat come to a close, the familiar licks its lips in anticipation. Anabelle calls out for the bearded devil to move aside while it attacks, giving her pet Lionel a clear path at the beast. The catlike creature pounces at the Devil, biting, clawing, and raking it with no mercy.

[sblock=OOC]

The Lionel punces the Devil.

I messed up this attacks, left some things in I shouldn't have. I'm just gonna reroll so it makes more sense.

Attacks = 3 hits, 2 potential crits.

Confirmation = 2 crits, 1 bite and 1 claw.

Damage = 32, 9, 10

Bearded Devil attacks the Devil

Attack = Miss

Familiar:
AC 36
HP 37

Bearded Devil:
AC 17
HP 69

[sblock=ooc]Sorry for sounding snarky. This was not intended. Perhaps I should have had add a ;) to my post. I hope we are fine :)
Secondly: Breath is a supernatural, not spell like ability and as such requires no concentration check.[/sblock]
 

[sblock=walking dad]
Aye, we're good to go. Also, I know the breath weapon doesn't provoke AoO's (Or allow SR for that matter. ;)), I was refering to your action of casting the Endure Elements Invocation on the Familiar. Invocations are spell-like, and thus DO provoke.[/sblock]
ALL: As I've asked before, Please refrain from posting OOC stuff in the IC thread unless it accompanies an IC post. That's what the thread in Talking the Talk is for.
 

Savlin rushes back to where everything started to go wrong. Seeing the creature disappearing into the darkness of the tunnel, he realizes he would be at a serious disadvantage if he pursued, and so he stops over the sword he dropped.

[sblock=ooc] double move (80') back to the group. [/sblock]
 

Darius

Edit because of Rhokkan's action that happened before my turn:

Darius moves away from the troll, still hovering and uses more of his draconic magics and summons a freezing fog at the fleeing creature.

"Sorry, there it is. I will stop it for you."

[sblock=ooc]Moves 10ft back right. Uses freezing fog invocation. Works like solid fog with added cold damage.
He summons it slightly overlapping with the ice devil.

- = fog
m = monster
