LE vs. N: Lawful Evil Victorious!

[ugulu]

Flail away at the synch'd illusions, in the hope of eventually landing on the real one, or at least narrowing the opponents.

 

[Gansk]

Vera heals to 20 hp and and misses.

What does Vera do now?

 

[ugulu]

Repeat. If down to 1 image again, take the 50/50 shot and try to dominate the creature. Statistically Vera has to land a punch eventually...or maybe more than one. Hopefully this thing will run out of spellcasting at some point and become a blood bank.

 

[PJSlavner]

Round 480: Vera misses, and heals to 21 HP.
Round 481: The images all take a defensive stance, one out of sync. Vera makes an image disappear. 23 HP, 6 images.
Round 482: Defensive stance for images. Vera misses. 25 HP, 6 images.
Round 483: Defensive stance for images. Vera makes image go away. 27 HP, 5 images.
Round 484: Defensive stance. A draw is declared.

Next in round 484 for Lawful Evil is an electrum clockwork horror (MM II, under clockwork horror).

OOC: I'm getting about as much joy from undead as I2K is from dragons. However, I have been looking forward to getting these nasty bugs into the arena.

A 4-legged mechanical arachnid enters the arena. A burnished silver-gold color, it has a saw blade where a mouth should be, and a large amethyst embedded in the top of it's head. With audible whirrs and clicks, it's scuttles to 60n 25e and stops cold. [ready action to attack with a dart if something comes within 40']

 

[PJSlavner]

OOC: My joy comes from plant creatures.

Round 485: A ten-foot diameter storm cloud, crackling with lightning, charges into the arena to 60N30E10Z. The dart misses (natural 1). The storm cloud slams (rolled 16+2(charge)+1(higher ground)=19) the arachnid for 14 points of damage. The slam is accompanied by the crackle of electricity, but the arachnid ignores that. The arachnid has 28 HP remaining. The arachnid goes first in round 486.

 

[ugulu]

Can I do anything? I'm not going to out run this thing, and if it has 10' reach, I can't touch it either. I suppose he'll fire darts on the defensive in the hopes of delivering some damage.

 

[PJSlavner]

Round 486: The arachnid hits with a dart (rolled 23-4=19 for FD) for no damage (DR 5 or greater).
The cloud misses twice (twice rolled 19+1=20 for higher ground).
Round 487: Arachnid misses. The cloud hits twice for 16. Arachnid has 12 HP.
Round 488: Arachnid misses. The cloud hits once for 14. Arachnid is destroyed.

First for Lawful Evil in round 489 is a barghest (Monster Manual).

 

[ugulu]

Bruno the goblin-wolf moves to 110n 25e and tries to charm the big fluffy could of death.

 

[PJSlavner]

Round 489: "I don't think so, Bruno," says the cloud (rolled 18 Will save).
The cloud flies to 110N30E10Z and slams (rolled 28+1=29 for HG) Bruno for 10-5=5 bludgeoning and 1 point of electrical damage. Bruno has 27 HP remaining.
