LE vs. N: Lawful Evil Victorious!

[PJSlavner]

OOC: Welcome to Infiniti's world.

Round 542: Jalnur breathes an impressive bolt of electricity at the scorpion (23 points), but, alas, the scorpion seems totally unaffected by it. In fact, the stinger seems to crackle even more with electricity.
The scorpion is still waiting at 90N80E for Jalnur to come down and fight.

OOC: oh, how a draw (or worse) would suck...

Jalnur will move to 90n 80e 5z and hover. Following this, try a full attack.

 

[PJSlavner]

OOC: Maybe I should have reminded you that if Jalnur did not damage the scorpion this round it would be a draw, because the scorpion already had five rounds of actions without doing any damage, and Jalnur had four. Based on your comment about the draw, I will have Jalnur charge to the attack to try to avoid the draw.

Round 543: Jalnur charges and bites the scorpion (rolled 20+2=22 for charge) for 5 points of damage. The scorpion has 63 HP remaining.
The scorpion retaliates, but hits with only one claw (rolled 17) for 7 points of damage. Jalnur has 69 HP remaining.

Let's try some full attack mayhem and review if Big Blue drops below 20hp.

 

[PJSlavner]

Round 544: Jalnur hit with bite, claw, and wing (worst hitting roll 22; best missing roll 14), but the claw did not seem to do any damage (DR greater than 2). Bite and wing inflicted 7. The scorpion has 56 HP remaining.
The scorpion hit with both claws (worst roll 19), but missed with sting (rolled 15), for 27 points of damage. It tries to grab on but Jalnur will not let it (28 vs. 19 grapple). Jalnur has 42 HP remaining.

Round 545: Jalnur hits with claw and wing (worst roll 20; best missing roll 18) for 5 points of damage, with the claw doing nothing (DR greater than 3). Scorpion at 51 HP.
The scorpion hits with both claws again for 18. The scorpion also grabs on with both claws (26 vs. 23 grapple), pulls Jalnur into its space, and squeezes and stings for an additional 15 points of damage. Electrical energy surges through the stinger, but Jalnur ignores it. Jalnur has 9 HP remaining.

Troubling...Jalnur tries to break the grapple, then get into the air (take the AoO) and snug up to 115z.

 

[PJSlavner]

Round 546: Jalnur cannot break free (22 vs. 29 grapple check).
The scorpion squeezes and stings (26 vs. 12 grapple) for 9. Jalnur is at 0 HP.
Round 547: The scorpion fails to squeeze and sting.
Round 548: The scorpion fails to squeeze and sting.
Round 549: The scorpion fails to squeeze and sting.
Round 550: The scorpion squeezes and stings for 17. The scorpion has 51 HP and is at 90N80E.

If, instead of hoping for the draw (winning five straight grapple checks), Jalnur wanted to bite one last time, he would have misses (rolled 15-4=11).

First in round 551 for Lawful Evil is a neogi slavemaster (Lords of Madness). I will take it over while you run the scaladar (Creature Catalog).

A spiderlike monster with a long neck and an eel-like head struts into the arena to 90N25E, and waits.

 

[ugulu]

OOC: Another butt-kicker...but a friggin' Neutral...hope this Neogi is armed with a 'Rust-o-mat'

The scorpion scuttles to 90n 40e.

 

[PJSlavner]

Eely seems to concentrate as the scorpion gets that close, but the scorpion is not aware of anything.

Round 552: Eely tries concentrating again, but is starting to get the idea that the scorpion does not have the brains to be affected. Eely moves to 60N20E.

 

[ugulu]

Scopolio charges to 90n 25e to begin the bug stomping.
