H4H: Red Hand of Doom (full)

[s@squ@tch]

He probably is a sorc of some sort. H4H, what kind of armor is he wearing? What about a shield? Is he threatening us when he is casting spells(is he carrying a heavy shield and a weapon)?

From the picture, he is wearing leather armor (studded?) and carrying a buckler. I would expect an Arcane Spell Failure of about 10-20%.

I'll move to G4 and try and box him in, not sure if it will work, but worth a try to get him pinned against a wall.

I don't think I can use manuver's for a snake's swiftness. I moved around this round, and used WRT on Kirrg, he will definately be able to hit the bugbear now. FEEL THE PAIN!!! Hopefully he will hold still and he can beat on him. He probably is a sorc of some sort. H4H, what kind of armor is he wearing? What about a shield?

He does have a buckler and a morningstar, his morningstar is not readied and he is doing little currently to defend with his buckler.

His "armor" seems ceremonial in nature and actually provides little in the way of protective value.

Though he has been protected by "invisible fields of force" you may guess what those are in game terms but I will need a pair of successful Spellcraft rolls to tell for certain.

 

[s@squ@tch]

So his morningstar is not in his hands currently? (i.e. he would not be able to use AoO's?)

I'm aiding another this round (along with Duroin) -- hopefully between the two of us, we can give Jonathan a +4 to his next attack.

This is going to boil down to a slugfest -- but who will last longer -- the wizard/sorcerer's magic supply, or the melee types?

 

[s@squ@tch]

You know, I kind of expected something like that after what she said.

Shouldn't Jonathan's next attack be with a +4 aid another bonus (due to Durion and Virashil succeeding on their checks)?

I believe it should, even though she fell. Since it was after her success, and aid another only requires a standard action, her +2 should stack with Duroin's +2. Of course, H4H is the final arbiter on all rules readings.

Yeah it is a bit funky, but technically correct by RAW. I guess I will rationalize it as him distracted by gloating over her prone form.

Come on EvolutionKB...we really need a good attack roll from Sir Jonathon. Wyrmlord Koth has taken some good damage from Kirrg so far, but we don't know what he is buffed up to. Duroin has almost no chance of hitting right now unless his attacks come up a Natural 20.

 

[s@squ@tch]

No kidding. Kirrg has had some great rolls in this encounter!

Now we need Jonathan to roll well, before he gets hit with enfeeblement as well.

I wouldn't mind finding an eternal wand of dispel magic.... This guy is buffed up to the gills.

I also wouldn't mind stabilizing.

 

[hero4hire]

You guys have him hurt...A good roll might make all the difference. Hopefully we see Evo tonight so I can update.

Is Virashil gonna die before I can hit him!!! Bloody IC! It better pay me back later with a bunch of great rolls! Well my plan was to hit him, if that didn't take him out have Vira pick up the wand and blast him with it. Bloody ones. My only rolls over an 8(that I rolled) was my init, the initial reflex save, and the one I rolled that missed because he moved or because of concealment. A roll slightly above average would probably hit this guy, and I am way below that average.
