Iron Heroes: A Saga of Might

[Dr Simon]

[sblock=OOC]
I reckon you could use a couple of options here, as there are two vision-related attacks from the hag - one is her mere appearance, the other a gaze attack.

Using the phantasmal force method Xoria could place a magical bag over the head of the hag, providing a miss chance for both gaze and appearance equal to the "reality" column of that method. Mana cost as per that method.

The other would be to use the blurred image version of veil of trickery, which would work against the appearance but not the gaze attack, unless she made the spellcsting check a -5 penalty stunt. Again, miss chance as per the mastery level of the method.

Not releasing the fury in his heart just now, Olmar flies away from the troll... shall it and the hag weaken each other before he will engage them again.

OOC: The magical bag-over-the-head bit does not seem likely to lead to a good result, so we'll try a distraction.

Xoria continues to flail helplessly. But the cloaked figure of Destoari leaps from behind a mass of coral and streaks toward her sister, hands outstretched, seemingly intent on grappling her.

OOC:
Phantasmal forces, 1 hex
Mastery level 1 illusion
Mana cost: 1
DC: 6
Roll 1d20+3 (Illusion Mastery 3)

 

[Dr Simon]

The troll roars in anger as Olmar eludes it, but in doing so the barbarian has exposed Bjorn, who just has time to utter "Wa..." before the troll rips him apart with its bare claws and teeth, scattering the resultant bloody mess across the water.

The hag sees Destoari moving towards her, but swims slightly back from Vela and fires her wand with a flick of her wrist. "Stay out of this, sister," she hisses. The wand fires ice at Vela, who dodges it, causing it to strike the shell where it dissipates.

[sblock=OOC]
Olmar - full move withdraw.

Troll - claw/claw/bite on Bjorn, all three hit for 11, 11 and 8 damage. Rend damage = 17. Bjorn takes a total of 47 damage and is quite, quite dead.

Hag - 5 ft. "step" back from Vela, fires wand, miss.

Next:

Vela
Olmar
Xoria

[Dr Simon]

Bump.
Or is everyone stunned by Bjorn's sudden violent death?

 

[Walking Dad]

OOC: sorry, total defense (standard action) for Olmar. The trolls are also enemy of his enemy and very dangerous. He would fight them, if he must, but not as long they attack the 'sister'.

 

[mfloyd3]

Xoria continues to try to look helpless, warily avoiding the troll, but secretly moves the image of Destoari as her puppet. The vision lunges for the hag, but misses.

OOC: Trying to distract the hag. Also, if possible, can an image give Vela a flanking bonus?

OOC: Trying to distract the hag. Also, if possible, can an image give Vela a flanking bonus?

OOC: I think as long as the hag believes in it, yes, as she's dividing her attention.

 

[Shayuri]

Vela snarls at the hag and uncoils from her crouch with explosive speed, striking with palms and kicks; trying to end the fight quickly so she could go help the others against the troll they had so unwisely antagonized.

 

[Dr Simon]

The hag rakes at Vela with her claws, almost dismissively. Her attention is fixed on the image of her sister.

"Keep back, sister," she hisses, pointing her wand at the illusion. "Remember what our sister said, you are banished!"

Meanwhile, the jelly fish drift across the chamber towards Xoria and the troll, who has lifted up into the vaults of the shell in pursuit of Olmar.

[sblock=OOC]
Vela's attack hits.

Hag attack on Vela, miss. 5ft step back.

Everyone else manuevres for this round.
