IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part V(b)

"Something with a squid for a face just tried to take over my mind! Gah! It also has 2 of those despicable Drow with it." Erdolliel then hides herself before working her way back towards the enemy force.[sblock=oc]Hide +15[/sblock]

Nethezar shakes his head. "I don't know what it is."

The three then make way to the map room. Peering down the hall to the east, Erdolliel doesn't see anything in the hallway.
 

Erdolliel moves to the water room.[sblock=oc]Move to the hallway going N to the water room. At the hallway start moving slower and moving silently (+15) into the room.

I'm pretty sure that it hasn't been 16 hours since post #261, so I should still have mage armor active. My armor class would then be 18. Let me know if it has been more than 16 hours...[/sblock]
 

Kushnak follows closely behind Erdolliel.

[sblock=oc] Probably 10' back. He'll pause at the corner of the hallway that leads to the water room.[/sblock]
 

[sblock=Ti]When Erdolliel reaches the hall going north, immediately around the corner, she sees a drow, laying in wait. The dark elf most likely can hear her companions, and waits for them, but it doesn't appear to see Erdolliel.[sblock=OOC]If you want one, you'll have a surprise round.[/sblock][/sblock]
 

Erdolliel quickly casts a spell down the hall.[sblock=DI oc]So, I'm not sure how it works in 3 dimensions, but I want to cast Black Tentacles. It has a 20ft radius spread, so if that works as a sphere, I would like to center it in a way that includes both the new side passage and the top of the pedastal where the drow is lying in wait. My map looking makes me think that should be possible. Duration is 8 rds, the text of the spell is as follows:


This spell conjures a field of rubbery black tentacles, each 10 feet long. These waving members seem to spring forth from the earth, floor, or whatever surface is underfoot—including water. They grasp and entwine around creatures that enter the area, holding them fast and crushing them with great strength.

Every creature within the area of the spell must make a grapple check, opposed by the grapple check of the tentacles. Treat the tentacles attacking a particular target as a Large creature with a base attack bonus equal to your caster level and a Strength score of 19. Thus, its grapple check modifier is equal to your caster level +8. The tentacles are immune to all types of damage.

Once the tentacles grapple an opponent, they may make a grapple check each round on your turn to deal 1d6+4 points of bludgeoning damage. The tentacles continue to crush the opponent until the spell ends or the opponent escapes.

Any creature that enters the area of the spell is immediately attacked by the tentacles. Even creatures who aren’t grappling with the tentacles may move through the area at only half normal speed. [/sblock]
 


Erdolliel never casts the spell, instead she lashes out with her sword.[sblock=DI oc]Oh yeah, that's MUCH better, thanks! I'll attack the drow +9 1d8+3 crit x2 at 19-20 SA +4d6[/sblock]
 

Erdolliel lashes out at a drow, but the elf misses her mark.

"What?" Nethezar moves forward, turns, and casts a spell. Unfortunately, the drow shrugs it off.

The drow steps back and summons magic shrouding his rapier with "shadowy illumination" (stupid term).

A second drow steps from one of the rooms to the south, closes with Nethezar, and stabs the scholar in the throat.

[sblock=OOC]Surprise round: Erdolliel: attacks 1, 4+ miss

Real round
Nethezar: moves; hideous laughter on 1, save 15+ success
1: 5-foot step; darkness
