[LPF] Bats in the Belfry

Syldar begins to sing of the bats doom. "Though bats may fly, soon they will die. We'll free the tower, as we show our power." She then raises her bow and takes aim at the bat. "Fear not, Maia, your next shot will strike true."

Free: redirect lights if needed to clearly see the bat.

HP: 8

Xan takes a step back, draws his crossbow and starts casting an enlargement spell on his Eidolon. As he does that, his eidolon readies an attack against the incoming dire bat.

Xan casts his spell and his eidolon grows to twice it's size on the stairs. The old wood creaks and groans but holds for now. Ausk and Maia send bolts up at the great bat as it flaps high above everyone. The first bolt sticks into the wooden ceiling as the second smashes against the rock of the tower wall.

The sound of rock sliding on rock echoes through the bell tower and a moment later a slab of the upper inner wall comes crashing down. No one has time to really see what has happened as the dire bat draws all attention to it as it dives towards the floor.

As it descends other much smaller bats start to screech and flap about. Disturbed from their nest they too look for something to lash out at.

Maia is more than shocked as the ugly bat comes face to face with her. She barely has time to let out a gasp before it bites her hard on the shoulder. Wilting like a flower Maia falls to the ground blood pouring from her wound and the dire bat beating at it's wings as it hovers over her.

Izzik quickly hits the thing with a spell to try and draw it's attention. It turns hissing and skreechhing at the young summoner.

[sblock=OOC] Aressa's delay and Xan's eidolons ready actions I didn't wish to keep as they seem unnecessary. It is best if you take your turns next and then we can end the round.

So Aressa and Xan's eidolon are up and then I will go for the mini bats then round 1 will be over.[/sblock]

[sblock=Map sort of]
Ok mapping location and height not something I can make so we will be doing this by distances. I am listing the marching order and the distance from the ground that character is. In relation you should know how far you are from everyone else, the floor(should you fall), and the monsters.

Example: Aressa is in the lead and 20' up so she is 20' from Izzik and 10' from Ausk.

Marching Order:
Aressa - 20'
Xan's eidolon - 15'
Ausk - 10'
Syldar - 5'
Maia - 0' <in melee with dire bat, sort of>
Izzik - 0'
Xan - 0'[/sblock]

[sblock=Actions]
Round 1:
Xan - draw weapon, cast enlarge
Ausk - shoots/miss
Maia - shoots/miss
Dire Bat - attack vs Maia hit = 12 dmg
Izzik - casts acid splash/hit = 3 dmg
Syldar - bardic performance(inspire courage)
Aressa - yet to act
Xan's Eidolon - yet to act
bats(?) - yet to act[/sblock]

OOC: wow 118 for an init; he's good. With an init that high, how many times does he go before anyone else even realizes he's done something? :D (Sorry couldn't resist commenting; it was just to good to pass up.)
 

OOC: Thank goodness someone else failed their save versus pun check before I succumbed, lol. HM I don't think Xan's eidolon qualifies for an AO unless the Dire Bat delayed, due to being flat-footed.
 

[sblock=OOC] That is his true ability but We have to tone it down for this as we mere mortals can't keep up. LOL

Update finished and need both eidolons to go to end the round please.[/sblock]

[sblock=Edit] Good catch AFg your right Xan went not the eidolon it is hard to keep that clear. NO AoO then. [/sblock]
 

Aressa rushes down trying to find a clear position from which she can strike at the great bat.

[sblock=Position]I don't want to provoke, but want to attack if that is possible. If its not she will go full defensive and move to stand over Maia provoking I assume since I am guessing this would require moving under the bat? Is the bat in the air btw, or has it landed - I assume in the air.[/sblock]
 

[sblock="Modifications"]It looks like Syldar is in melee with the bat, and probably won't be able to get out of melee, with the steps being crowded. Since her posted action has not happened and the bat has moved, I think she has an unused move action that I'd like to use to draw her spear.

She's not going to drop the bow (since she'd prefer to use that), so she is holding one weapon in each hand. At the start of the next round, she'll probably drop one so that she can use the other. In the meantime, she does not threaten with the spear since it is a two handed weapon.[/sblock]
