Eye of Profane Truth

[Albedo]

Alrighty, the first step is obvious. Cann is gonna full round the thing.

Full Round Action: 4 Attacks: +54/+54/+49/+44: Damage = 1d8+16 damage + 1 Negative Level +1 Con Damage

After the Full Round Action, I'm going to attempt a Greater Teleport using my Rod of Quicken.

Swift Action: Greater Teleport: Concentration Check: +29 (If I'm not mistaken the DC should be 30 for 10 base + 13 for half continuous damage dealt + 7 for spell level. If I'm wrong please let me know what I'm missing for future reference).

I shall use the Greater Teleport to move 100 ft behind the creature, 100 feet to the left, and 75 feet in the air.

/ooc:

The Concentration DC is far higher than 30. It is 1/2 HD + strength mod +10. Exact DC will not be made known.

As the creature will likely die this round, I will do the mechanics after silentspace posts, so that we can work out who deals the killing blow.

 

[silentspace]

I am not prepared for fighting in this element. I must prepare more direct damage magic for the future. Luckily, my siblings are prepared, and prepared well.

ooc: Rhakzan attempts to slip away with an automatic silent dimension door (concentration +41) to behind Moreth, where he attempts to hide in plain sight (hide +72). His goal is to place himself so he gets total cover from Moreth, so he won't have to hide in plain sight, but he'll hide anyway.

 

[Albedo]

OOC: Hmmm, I'm confused. Since when did the creatures HD or strength have anything to do with me making a concentration check? Unless something like that uses its cloud ability (which I thought affects the outside of the elemental) I thought the concentration was based off damage dealt.

 

[Rkhet]

/ooc: It's a special ability in the creature's entry. If I'm being strict about it, I would make you make this Concentration check AND the damage-based Concentration check. But I think they overlap.

Rhakzan:
Concentration 41+d20 = 61.

Dimension Door ends your round, so you cannot attempt to Hide afterwards.

With a heroic effort of will, Rhakzan teleports his way outside the whirlwind.

Cann:

54+d20 = 57, hit
54+d20 = 66
49+d20 = 59
44+d20 = 64 (target immune to crit)

All hit.

Total of 45 damage, 4 Con damage, and 4 negative levels.

Concentration +29+d20 = 49, failed. Spell lost.

Cann's assault leaves the creature almost destroyed, but his attempt to escape fails.

Moreth:

Maximized Disintegrate:

SR: 39+d20 = 48, successful
Fort save DC 29, saved against.
damage: 5x6 = 30.

Sonic Meteor Swarm:

SR: 39+d20 = 58, successful.
(at this point the whirlwind has 2hp left, so I'll assume it dies.)

Lessa:

Actions cancelled.


Moreth's meteors of solid sound disrupts the essence of the whirlwind, causing it to explode in a shower of sparks and gushing air. The wind dies down; the creature is no more.

 

[Rkhet]

Damage tally:

Cann: 57

Rhakzan: 37

Lessa: 12

Moreth: 3 nonlethal, but Regenerates by next round.

"All too easy." Cann walks away from the group for a moment as he uses his pearls of power to regain his two timestops, his greater magic weapon, his greater invisibility, his quickened true strike, his true seeing and his sadism.

OOC: Does the air elemental leave any sort of a corpse? This is important for me to know.

 

[Rkhet]

/ooc: a bit of dust; but in a plane without ground, and with the heavy winds at its death, it has scattered by now.

 

[Nephtys]

"All too easy," Moreth agrees, "but still it is disturbing..." He says thoghtfully, "Is our nature so perverse, and so obvious, that we will be faced with hostility wherever we go? There was no reason for the elemental to attack us, other than fear and disgust. Will our reception be the same when we encounter other beings of power in other planes, so that only those who are as 'tainted' as ourselves will accept our precense? If they will not show us our due respect, what can we do but kill them all?"
"We need to consider our goals, but this is not the place to discuss that. Let us move on to somewhere more private."
Moreth activates his Rod of Security, taking the others with him into his personal planar sanctuary.
