JollyDoc's Shackled City: FINAL POST [Updated 11/2!!]

[JollyDoc]

I would like to see Rich's next update from Entropy's perspective.

It's funny you should mention this, G. This past Sunday the Bright Axes had a showdown with the Lords of Oblivian, led by Thifirane Rhiavadi. As it so happens, Thifirane has a third eye in the middle of her forehead. As it further so happens, the fig I used for Thifirane just happened to be Entropy's old fig. Coincidence? Hmmm....

This is the conversation that was held:

[JOLLYDOC]: Amongst others, there is a female wearing robes, who has a third eye in her head.

[GROUP]: (silence)

[JOACHIM]: Ummm...Joe...is it a coincidence that you are using Entropy's figure?

[JOLLYDOC]: (cackling) Oh that's right, Entropy does have a third eye in her forehead, doesn't she?

[GROUP]: (gulp)

 

[gfunk]

Why don't one of you guys email me a quick summary?

 

[bbarrington]

and the out come was.......?

Yeah, I'm curious to hear how that went down. What was the EL? 20?

 

[gfunk]

I just got off of AIM with JollyDoc. Turns out that said adversary merely bore an "uncanny" resemblence to Entropy. More details will be provided in forthcoming updates.

Yeah, I'm sure the real encounter is not taking place for a few more levels... , which we are all looking forward to !!!

SPOILER ALERT: Yes it was. We went in through the roof, caught them unbuffed (and we were buffed) and then the Bright Axes proceeded to whip the $#%& out of most of the combatants. Three NPC's escaped with their lives (or unlives, as the case may be). Kiko has definitely come into his own and was very, very effective in that fight.

HIGHLIGHTS:

To quote Peter Venkman (of Ghostbusters fame), "We came, we saw, we kicked [their] a$$!"

Thifirane cast some pretty powerful spells, but never truly engaged us.

Mahad sat back and watched with interest until she had enough and left the premises. Her 'cloak' bit the big one, though, which I am sure did not please her very much.

As stated previously, Kiko was THE MAN during that fight. Monks vs. medium-sized opponents can be very nasty when played optimally (which Kiko was). High AC + good saves + SR + stoneskin (from Dalthon) + lots of attacks = EEP!

Rusty, Tilly, and Dalthon never really got the opportunity to truly bring their guns to bear during the fight, but they did somewhat have their shining moments.

Grimm does 124 points of damage in one round to an ogre mage, 85 points of damage in one round to a Dread Wraith, and 108 points in one round to a wizard.

With an Empowered Fireball, Dalthon managed to hit nine enemies. Thanks to poor SR rolls and evasion, only one of the nine took any damage from it. Unbelievably bad rolling (or good, depending on your point of view).

Evard's Black Tentacles rears its ugly, rubbery head once again.

None of the Bright Axes were severely damaged. But, to quote Han Solo after Luke shot down his first TIE Fighter, "Great job! Just don't get cocky..."

SPOILER ALERT:

Nice! Glad to hear you guys didn't go the "bust down the front door" route. I look forward to seeing the write up of that encounter.

BTW, my party finished Smoking Eye this past Sunday and we start Soul Pillars this weekend. Those assassins are pretty nasty.

Also, they are not doing anymore strange stuff like toppling statues with Stone Shape...

Nice going! I can't wait for that part of the story. Doesn't being on the strategically right side of combat for a change make you players feel good?

That's right: There are still plenty of folks out there just waiting to whip your butts!
