LG vs. CE: Lawful Good is Victorious!

[Infiniti2000]

Round 234 Continued
Max breathes on Bluta. He then announces the results of his breath and that Bluta is in the same location. He does a wingover and flies around, ending up at 70n10e30z heading north.

Aesther does something.

Rules Question, which I don't mind CE seeing. Omega Supreme's breath weapon recharges in 235. Can he delay until next round and then breath before Bluta? Or, can he ready to breathe as soon as he sees Bluta move (or something), knowing that when she does his weapon will recharge?

If either of the above, Omega will do that, otherwise will ready the same action as before.

Round 235
OS might now take an action, depending on the above.

If Bluta lives, Optimus Prime will walk through the VZ to 80n20e and breathe a line of force on her.

[sblock] Aesther casts Cure critical wounds again.[/sblock]

 

[Gansk]

The bubble doesn't dodge (23 Ref save) and survives 96 damage.

Max:[sblock]You can breathe again in round 237. Aesther heals 26 and has 313 hp.[/sblock]

OS cannot cut down the recharge time with those actions, even if they are in the same round.

Round 235: The bubble does not dodge the OP's breath either (30 Ref save). It survives 109 damage.

OP:[sblock]You can breathe again next round.[/sblock]

Bluta:[sblock]You heal 3 hp and have 74 hp left.[/sblock]

Bluta's turn in round 235.

 

[Infiniti2000]

I thought the delay/ready tactic would be a cheesy, but I'm curious if the rules technically allow it. (No, I'm not arguing for you to allow, just curious in general.)

 

[PJSlavner]

Bluta will put a cloudkill at 100N30E40Z. As part of it falls, Maximus Rex will be affected (if not immune to poison), and part of it will fall where Optimus Prime is. Some of it will actually stay on the roof of the Victory Zone.

 

[Infiniti2000]

And there I was, not arguing for something cheesy.

 

[PJSlavner]

The following rebuttal is in no way a justification for the cloudkill maneuver, nor a claim against its cheesiness. It is just an observation.

Having your overgrown minions breathe lines of force about twice a round is not cheesy at all.

 

[Infiniti2000]

Ahem.

Anyway, PJSlavner, for some extra amusement read the spoiler block in #970.

 

[PJSlavner]

Of course, you will have the last laugh, Infiniti. The cloudkill maneuver will probably not affect the outcome of this round, even though I appreciate the synergy of Bluta's actions. Now if only my conjurer in Gansk's game will have the opportunity to try out the cloudkill maneuver.

 

[Gansk]

Round 325: Max partially resists (41+2 Fort save) and takes 2 Con damage. He has 25 Con and 425 hp.

OP partially resists (34+4 Fort save) and takes 2 Con damage. He has 29 Con and 396 hp.

OS partially resists (34+2 Fort save) and takes 1 Con damage. He has 26 Con. (still 304 hp)

Max's turn in round 325.

 

[Infiniti2000]

Round 235 (not 325) Continued
Max flies around to 60n45e and lands. He reaches out and puts a daylight at 85n35e (southwest corner of course).

Aesther does something.

Omega Supreme leans over the roof and breathes a line of force at Bluta. He then steps to 80n50e40z.

[sblock] Aesther gives herself another CCW.

If Bluta survives, then in round 236, OP will give her more of the same and fly to 30n90e30z heading east.[/sblock]
