Kushnak growls in frustration as he charges the Illithad.

[sblock=oc]

This is... messy.

Charge #1(PA4): +15 2d6+16

Dodge on 1(ac 23 w/charge).

Erdolliel moves down to join in the fray.[sblock=oc]I'm pretty sure there's no way that she can end up flanking 1 with Kushnak. So. Move D (silently +15) until she's 5' above/left of the illithid. then attack. +10 (with height bonus as well as using the right bonus, I was using her bow bonus before for some retarded reason...) 1d8+3 +4d6 SA.[/sblock]
 

Kushnak ferociously flies at the illithid. As soon as he is within range, however, the illithid's staff glows again and dark energy shoots into Kushnak's body. The half-orc suddenly feels almost crippled, at least compared with the strength he usually enjoys.

Kushnak tries to hack into the creature, but, in his weakened state, he feels his blow repelled by an invisible shield around the creature.

Erdolliel, using her invisibility to the best advantage, strikes at the creature's head. This time, the creature is right where she thought it was, and blood begins to flow.

The illithid retreats closer to the ground. Kushnak and Erdolliel both try to find openings, and this time the elf slashes the same wound she just opened.

Fury in its eyes, the creature sends forth a pulse of mental energy that threatens to simply shut down the duo's minds. Both Kushnak and Erdolliel fight through it, ready to engage the creature again. While Erdolliel fights through it, Kushnak's psyche can't handle the stress. The half-orc mind suddenly stops cold.

[sblock=OOC]Kushnak: charges
Illithid: ready triggers; casts empowered ray of enfeeblement at K, touch attack 13+ hit, 11 STR penalty
Kushnak: continues charging; attacks 1, 7+ (I think that would be +9 now, right?) miss
Erdolliel: moves down to 35 feet above floor; attacks 1, 15+, miss chance 81, hit, 23 damage
Illithid: moves down 20 feet
Kushnak: AoO, 5+ miss
Erdolliel: AoO 20!, 15+, miss chance 59, crit, 32 damage
Illithid: mind blast K and E; saves, E: 18+ success; K: 6+ (thank goodness for bonus from Prot Evil) success fail, K is stunned

Two things. I already asked o3 to check on anything pertinent we need to figure out (other than his attack bonus and damage bonus) that is affected by his STR loss. Also, I don't see anything in the mind blast saying that it is mind-affecting (so as to be warded from by mind blank).

Status & Init
Erdolliel: 1 damage; dodge
Illithid: 10 feet above floor; 55 damage
Kushnak: 0 damage; dodge; -11 STR

Fly in effect ~ 54 55 rounds. Protection from Evil: 21 22 rounds. Greater Invisibility: 8 7 rounds left [/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]Two things.

First, I forgot to update the duration of spells last round. So those are:

Fly in effect ~ 55 rounds. Protection from Evil: 22 rounds. Greater Invisibility: 7 rounds left

Second, o3 reminded me that resistance boni don't stack. So, Kushnak should be stunned. So... uhhh... I guess I'll edit my post... Don't die![/sblock]
 


[sblock=oc]

Alright. So...

I'm over my max load for my strength. Per Fly i'm interpreting this to mean that i can't 'fly' at all.

Which means i couldn't charge.

Which means i suck.

Sorry guys.

[sblock=OOC]So... I guess we can either have a redo of everything after the illithid cast the ray of enfeeblement, or we can just carry on from where we are and say "whoops." What shall we do?[/sblock]
 

[sblock=oc]If the pool is <=5' deep I say carry on, otherwise I say redo... I guess if we pretend that he lands on the corner of the pedastal that's barely in his square we could carry on too...

I suppose also, that if we want the damage to stick and think we might TPK if it doesn't we could leave it to see if Erdolliel can effectively utilize the next 7 rounds against the thing...

toughy...[/sblock]
 

Erdolliel rushes at the illithid. Using her invisibility to the fullest, she adjusts right at the last moment, when she realizes her vision was being magically tricked, and she strikes the illithid right in one of its eyes. The creature bleeds profusely.

"Not even you can dodge this," the creature broadcasts telepathically, as a powerful bolt of lightning tears into the elf, nearly frying her on the spot.

[sblock=OOC]Here's what I think. Let me know if y'all disagree.

Kushnak didn't do anything really, so some change doesn't matter. Mind Blast is a 60 foot cone, so wherever K was, the illithid would probably have gotten him. We can say that Kushnak slowly went to ground went he was weakened (rather than falling), and leave the rest as it was. Does that work?

Assuming so...

Erdolliel: charges; 6+, miss chance 51, hit, 23 damage
Illithid: defensively casts empowered lightning bolt at E, Ref save 2+ fail, 42 damage
Kushnak: stunned

Status & Init
Erdolliel: 43 damage; dodge
Illithid: 10 feet above floor; 78 damage
Kushnak: 0 damage; dodge; -11 STR

Fly in effect ~ 57 rounds. Protection from Evil: 23 rounds. Greater Invisibility: 6 rounds left[/sblock]
 

Erdolliel bites through her tongue to keep from screaming as the electrical shock flows through her. Once it passes she looks at the illithid with grim determination and lashes out again before trying to conceal herself further.[sblock=oc]Full Attack 1 +10/+5 1d8+3 +4d6 SA crit on a 19 or 20. Then silently 5' step NE so that she is 5' N and U of 1.[/sblock]
