(Inactive) Psion's Return to the Tomb of Horrors (IC)

Peja intones a spell as he shuffles up next to Davreya.

I didn't see anyone else moving. Didn't misunderstand, did I?

Okay, the effect failed then. Perhaps something to keep in mind for next level's feat choice. ;)

Doorgath and Reisha advances to the bend in the passage. Seeing the action ahead, Doorgath stops and intones and gestures as best as he can in bear shape. Reisha grunts impatiently.

Doorgath is casting a summoning spell.

Giants act!

[sblock=OOC]
I'm going to handle the opposed rolls on the grapple checks to speed things up. Neither Kull or Garrel have their grapple mods figured; my BOTE calculation guess is Kull = 22, Garrel = 21

Initial grapples:
Giantess grapple: touch attack, grapple (1d20+26=44, 1d20+36=52, 1d6+11=12)
Elder giant touch attack; grapple (1d20+26=41, 1d20+36=38, 1d6+11=15)
Opposed grapple (1d20+22=28)
Edit: Per Olaf's post, this is actually 7 higher.
Garrel opposed grapple (1d20+21=30)

Pins/moves
Giantess grapple: pin, move (1d20+31=37, 1d20+26=41)
Elder giant touch attack; grapple (1d20+31=38, 1d20+26=44)
Opposed grapple (1d20+22=38, 1d20+22=35)
Edit: Per Olaf's post, this is actually 7 higher.
Garrel opposed grapple (1d20+21=38, 1d20+21=28)
[/sblock]


The giantess moves to scoop up Kull with alarming skill. Obviously of similar training, the elder giant tries a similar move on Garrel.

The giantess grabs a hold of Kull, but fails to pin or drag him.

The elder giant, on the other hand, pins Garrel and moves to the edge of the precipice.

[sblock=Status]
Giants have acted. Garrel are grappled and pinned; Kull is grappled.

Entire party may act as they post. Doorgath has a summoning pending.

Davreya's eyes grow wide as he sees the elder giant hauling Garrel to the cliff's edge. "He's going to toss Garrel off the side!" Davreya quickly takes a step forward and places a hand on Peja's shoulder. "We've got to get over there!"

Davreya's spell only takes a few seconds to cast. As the energy discharges, he tightens his grip on Peja's shoulder and reaches forward to touch Reisa's flank. Hope this works...

[SBLOCK=OOC]I'll take a free five-foot step forward, then attempt a Dimension Door spell. I'll send the three of us over to the other side of the giants, just to the south and east of the elder giant currently holding Garrel.[/SBLOCK]
 

Davreya, Peja, and Reisha wink out of existence, to appear next to the giant struggling with Garrel.

"Sorry honey, but you're really not my type. Plus you're coming on a little too strong for my liking. Perhaps we can just be friends?", gasps Kullrund, trying to break himself free from the Giantess' grip.

[sblock=OOC]Full attack (of which some, and possibly all attacks will be used to escape from the grapple). Kull will attempt to break the grapple with his first iterative attack. If he is successful then he will attack the giantess with any remaining attacks (with no Power Attack).

Invisible Castle roll to break the grapple is here.

1d20+29-> [20,29] = (49) (Another natural 20! :D My luck has returned...although she hasn't made her roll yet)

If Kull does break free from the grapple then his 2 remaining attacks on the Giantess are:

1d20+19+3-> [9,19,3] = (31) The roll is here.
1d20+14+3-> [15,14,3] = (32) The roll is here.

EDIT: I just realised that the 15 was actually a threat. The roll to confirm the threat is here

1d20+14+3-> [7,14,3] = (24)

Assuming those 2 attacks hit (AC 25 was a hit last round), the 2 attacks do:

2d4+1d6+2d6+10+3-> [3,1,1,6,6,10,3] = (30)
2d4+1d6+2d6+10+3-> [4,1,1,1,3,10,3] = (23)

The damage rolls can be found here.

If the roll to confirm the critical is successful (Kull hit AC 24 on the confirmation roll) then he deals an additional:

2d4+1d6+2d6+10+3-> [3,1,5,6,6,10,3] = (34)

The damage rolls can be found here.

If the attacks hits then Kull takes the following damage:

1d6-> [3] = (3)
1d6-> [6] = (6)

The damage rolls can be found here.

Assuming that I manage to escape from the Giantess' grapple and confirm the crit, I am very happy with that round of combat from Kull. Slightly below average damage and his own weapon continues to give him some good damage but overall a good outcome.[/sblock]

Peja grunts in surprise as Davreya grabs hold of both him and Reisha. "What the bloody--Dav!!" In an instant, the trio flash back into existance on the other side of the giants near Garrel. Stifling a strong urge to empty his stomach after surreptitiously being voided more than 70 feet in the blink of an eye, Peja shivers and instead glares at Dav. With a second grunt of surprise, Peja soon realizes the tactical advantages of being relocated, however, and after deftly stepping backward away from the giant grappling Garrel, Peja quickly begins weaving another spell, this time aimed at the female giantess and her kin. The dwarf holds aloft his wooden holy symbol of Delundar just as a vertical column of divine fire roars downward to engulf the female giantess and the male giant beside her.

[sblock=Psion]Peja moves five feet backward out of reach of the giant grappling Garrel and casts flame strike on the giantess and the giant beside her. Cylinder of divine fire with a 40-foot height and a 10-foot radius centered right between the female giantess and the male standing to her left. 14d6 dmg, reflex save DC 22 for half. Half the damage is fire damage, the other half is divine damage.

Peja's AC vs giants is 24 (20 +4 dwarf racial dodge bonus).

If the giants are evil, then Peja and those within 10 feet of him may benefit from his magic circle against evil spell for +2 to AC. This may make Peja's AC 26.[/sblock]

Giantess opposed grapple check (1d20+36=47)
The giantess loses her grip on Kull and Kull struck her twice (no crit)
[/sblock]

Kull kicks away from the giantess, grips his Falchion, and strikes her twice, drawing a little blood.

Peja calls down a column of flames on the giantess and one of the younger giants. The column of sarcred flame scorched the young giant, but the flames shrink away from the giantess and fail to affect her.

[sblock=OOC]
Peja spell penetration rolls (1d20+14=29, 1d20+14=18)
Peja flame strike damage (14d6=59)\
Young giant reflex save (1d20+5=21)

The young giant fails a reflex save and takes full damage.

Disappointed that her last spell seemed to fizzle before it could have any effect, Ariornvuraurix mutters some arcane syllables to herself and fades from view.

[SBLOCK=OOC]
Greater Invisibility. She'll then move one square right and two squares down to get a better line of sight to the giants.[/SBLOCK]

Garrel activates his blinking ring, and when he goes ethereal, simply takes a 5' step out of the giants grip and readies himeself to whop giant butt in a bit. Or, at least so he tries. Never thought about grappling and etherealness before but seems reasonable given he cna go though doors/walls and such during blinks. . .
