Hethas' Gambit continued [top of rnd 8]

Here's the rounds I already posted at the blog site, plus four more.

Init 36 - Xiao Fung

Position unknown.

Init 32 - Rillos

Position unknown. However, three arrows pass out of the mists and pass entirely through Osirdar. Two of them seemed to ripple him as they went through, while the third seemed to have no effect at all. (dmg 14, 15, 0).

Init 29 - Osirdar

A hissing laugh comes from the incorporeal creature known as Osirdar, and he speaks strange words to the south....

"Welcome my child! Exinguish the life of these mortals that they may join with us!"

Who this is to is not immediately evident, but you have the feeling that the words are not wasted. Osirdar then dives straight down, into the earth itself, disappearing from view.

Init 23 - Master

The force cube disappears as rain that once hit on its flat surfaces now passes through unhindered! Naught else can be seen for a few moments, and then a sickly green ray lashes out, striking Mang on the south side of the slope.

Mang, like Xiao Fung's son, disappears into a fine powder which is then swept about by the winds.

Moments later, the rain begins splashing off of a square surface to the southeast, near Blaster (18,83, +5 ft).

Note: Master himself is still nowhere to be seen.

Init 23 - Blaster

A furious series of attacks ends Unth's life, and Unth dies before Blaster even manages to finish the deadly sequence of blows. (160+ dmg - I stopped rolling when Unth stopped breathing).

Unth was a powerful figure, it is true. But can anyone truly stand up to the favored of Ares in battle?

Init 23 - Antony

Yes. Antony.

The corpse of Antony, a bit worse for the wear, lays in the pouring, warm rain. Mists whip around it in the wind, or... perhaps it isn't mist.

With a hissing, malevolent scream, a ghostly image of Antony pulls itself, bit by bit, out of its former corpse. Looking to the north, its face contorts in pain, and it dives into the earth, passing through its own body as only so much meat.

Init 22 - Izad

Position sort of known, but unseen.

Strange flickering lights have been vaguely visible since last round.

Init 22 - Cholestus the Shredder

Position unknown. He's up in the clouds somewhere. Maybe plastered against the adamantine ceiling. Maybe just plastered - do we really know what was in those "potion" flasks earlier?

OOC: I would like to publicly apologize to Jeremy. I've messed up the visible portion of his turn almost EVERY ROUND. And that sucks.

I'm going to give him some bonus points from Hethas because of the disadvantage I keep putting him at, and I'm re-editting the following to show what is visible.


Init 21 - Usasmir

Usasmir continues to suck at Omigawd's neck while she flails and tries to get away. He touches his headband and disappears, reappearing inside the force cube, floating a bit over Blaster.

Note: I shifted the force cube to 15 ft above Blaster, since it can't appear within the AMF.

Surprisingly enough, Omigawd is still alive, and doesn't seem much worse for the wear, other than her pride at a dwarf being manhandled so easily by a dirty half-orc.

Also a quick note, since Jeremy asked privately:

Omigawd does not look "NO worse for wear". She looks "NOT MUCH worse for wear". Other than a slight paling of the skin, and two bleeding holes in her neck, she still seems to be in decent shape. Like Marius, she's built to soak up punishment like nobody's business ;).
 


Your message came to me blank. I'm using a web mail system to read it, so if that's a problem, send it to my work address: "xtweigel at ti dot com".
 


Quick note: I'm thinking of a slight nerf to antimagic field, to its duration only. As usual, I won't do this without discussion and proper consideration. And it won't impact anything that has happened thus far.

The nerf I am considering, the only nerf I am considering, is changing the duration to either 1 round per level or a flat 10 minutes. 10 minutes per level just means that the opponent casts/uses fly and goes up into the sky until it runs out, which is a very long and boring time for the gods.

So let me know what y'all think, and I'm particularly interested in hearing the opinion of the only person currently using it ;).
