LE vs. N: Lawful Evil Victorious!

[PJSlavner]

Something with 20 foot spacing can be 30-40 feet tall. Some elementals have 15 foot spacing and are 40 feet tall. Its move bumps it into Ash, so I will move it to either 0N100E or 30N100E. Either way Ash gets an AoO, which misses (rolled 19).

Round 706: Ash tries a wingover to get away from this thing, but it takes an AoO and lashes out with its tongue and grabs Ash (rolled 29), inflicting 29 points of damage. Ash tries to get loose, but is stuck fast. Ash has 66 HP remaining.

OOC: ouch

Tower of Power will maintain the grapple, and try to crush and attack with all it's limbs (figuring to soften the lizard up before trying to swallow it).

 

[PJSlavner]

Tower of Power crushes Ash (60 vs. 29 grapple check) for 30 points of damage, and slaps Ash upside the head with four tentacles (worst roll 24-4=20 for grappling) for another 82 points of damage. Ash is ash.

Tower of Power is in the Hall of Fame!

Round 707: Ottwarslyndanox the green dragon comes flying into the arena. Otta is not going to be foolish enough to get right next to Tower of Power, flying to get within 30 feet for the breath, and then a quick wingover to get away.

Unfortunately for Ottwarslyndanox, Tower of Power's tongue is at least 35 feet long, and lashes out as Otta approaches, hitting (rolled 37) for 25 points of damage. Otta has 68 HP remaining, and is stuck fast. The good news is she can still breathe, and Tower of Power is not so good at getting out of the way (Ref save 12), taking 25 points of acid damage. Tower of Power has 245 HP remaining.

Time compress crush and smack?

 

[Gansk]

Hold on a second - Tower of Power doesn't have rake, so he shouldn't be combining grapple checks and normal attacks in his full attack routine.

His options are 3 grapple checks with his tongue at +41, +36, & +31, with each success causing crush damage, or a normal full attack with the tongue & tentacles at -4 vs. the opponent's AC.

Against Ash, I would change the tongue grapple check to a normal attack at -4, and see if it hits. If it does, the same Hall of Fame damage is applied to Ash, otherwise it is only 82 points of damage.

 

[PJSlavner]

I think I hate grappling more than flying. Flying at least seems hard.

Tower of Power hit with the tongue (rolled 37-4=33 for grappling), so the same damage applies.

Gansk, if Tower of Power crushes three times in one round, can the total damage qualify it for the Hall of Fame for most damage done with an extraordinary ability, or is each crush separate for such purposes?

Now the question, Ugulu, is this: time compress three crushes, or 3-5 smacks, or not time compress at all?

 

[ugulu]

I'd compress - anything to speed the exit of this tower of munchkinism. Let's go with the 3-5 smacks at -4; I think his grapple bonus is crazy enough that it will work for him, may as well try the higher number of attacks. Pity about the dragon though. :-(

Gansk, if Tower of Power crushes three times in one round, can the total damage qualify it for the Hall of Fame for most damage done with an extraordinary ability, or is each crush separate for such purposes?

If fire shield can qualify for the Hall of Fame for most damage in a round, then three crushes must be given a chance to qualify as well.

 

[PJSlavner]

Tower of Power only has three attacks, but one of the tentacles crushes twice as hard, for total of 94 points of damage. Otta was.

Ugulu, you get back control of Lawful Evil.

First in round 708 for Lawful Evil is an evolved wraith (Libris Mortis). It looks like the Tower of Power is coming down.

OOC: assuming the ToP is at 30n 100e...

Darwin, the Evolved Wraith glides in the arena, happy to be drifting away from the placard bearers insisting he is actually an Intelligently Designed Wraith. He charges to 45n 95e and begins tearing the mortar from this tower.

OOC: Compress?

 

[Gansk]

ToP takes an AoO and misses. (Rolled natural 1) Darwin touches for 2. 243 hp to go.

Round 709: ToP flails and the attacks go through Darwin. He touches for 2 plus 4 Con. (Rolled natural 1 Fort save) ToP has 25 Con and 201 hp left.

Round 710: ToP goes on total defense. Darwin misses. (Rolled natural 1)

Round 711: Darwin misses. (Rolled 9)

Round 712: Darwin touches for 3. 198 hp left.

Round 713: Darwin touches for 2. 196 hp left.

Round 714: Darwin misses.

Round 715: Darwin touches for 1. ToP gets bored and leaves.

A 40 foot tall pool of muck moves to 40N105E and swings through Darwin.
