Tyrion shakes his head and says "NOT THIS DAY!" Impeded by the boulders, he barley manages to close the distance between himself and the female gith.

~ Day 13, 16:00 - In the Darkwood ~

Lai Tai and Ru reduced the enemy by two more as their weapons struck home. Lai Tai entered Thuvian's stinking cloud. The stones from Lai Tai's spell disappeared.

The tiefling scouts continued to harry the invisible bard and the rogue. Damaris barely dodged a stabbing sword, only the invisibility saving her from being cut. Ru missed a parry and stuck in the arm for a light wound.

The Githyanki warriors were still nauseated and continued to fall back from the large warriors as they coughed and choked on the vapors.

Noak_zpsc3e72877.png

The female Githyanki's spiritual weapon smashed into the large magus again for a light blow. She stepped away from Tyrion and cast a spell to almost completely remove all her wounds.

The flying eidolon set its wings back and arrowed down towards Lai Tai. It chomped down on his shoulder with its long neck from above. The pain and the coldness from the bite were too much for the enlarged magus and he collapsed. "Noak got ya!"

The female Githyanki's curt voice spoke in common and she pointed a finger at Tyrion. "Surrender now and we shall not kill you. I will not offer terms again."

[/sblock][sblock=Tactical Map]Notes:
1. Dark colored vegetation is difficult terrain if more than 50% of Square for medium creatures or smaller & provides 20%(roll 1d100: 1-20 misses) concealment being bushes from ranged attacks, 50% concealment for small creatures or prone medium ones.
2. Trees and Large Boulders provide hard cover and block LOS. Small boulders are like half walls, only cover.
3. Large bodies provide difficult terrain for medium creatures or smaller

GM: Everyone is up for Round 7
[sblock=OOC Stuff]I have had to serious pull punches and still Lai Tai went down this round. Damaris not moving to heal you guys and Thuvian sticking a Stinking Cloud in the way for the sake of nauseating 2 minions instead of eliminating the spell caster has cost you dearly.

If you cannot even the odds this round, you will have to surrender to prevent a partial TPK.[/sblock]
 

[sblock=ooc]With the difficult terrain, Ru's not going to be able to do anything particularly useful on the odds-evening side of things. He should be able to take out his little minion this round, but he won't be able to get to anyone other than that. Well, he could toss a shuriken, but that's essentially spitting on them at this point.

I'm going to hold his action for right now, then, so he can be the one to call Uncle if Thuvian and / or Tyrion aren't able to effect a turnaround. Seems hard to say "we surrender" if Ru is still skewering someone on his blade. :) [/sblock]
 

[sblock=Tactics]
Metagaming wise, I doubt Tyrion can kill the female gith in a single hit without a crit from the hammer. She was already down 19, and now that she's 1 down Tyrion cannot do anything to her. Granted, she has been doing mostly mind effecting spells, but that hammer is very concerning right now. It will eventually take Tyrion out.

One option I can see to turn this around is if Tyrion can One Hit KO Noak, or get him into a position where an AoO ends him. If he can do that this round, we have a VERY small chance of winning. The hammer will plink at Tyrion, but it should not kill him next round. Tyrion is a DPR beast right now, but without access to full round attacks it's been hurting us.

We also have access to Color spray, which if the caster failed will stun her for a single round at the very least, possibly more. Also, a Ray of Enfeeblement of Noak will hopefully hurt it's to hit, so it cannot hit Tyrion next round.

Ya, our tatics were not good at all. Lai Tai was right, and Tyrion should have went after that female gith first, but that male caster was going to drop Tyrion next round if he had even 1 more attack spell.

[/sblock]
 

[sblock=OOC]I'm going to abstain from voting. Since I'm not particularly enjoying either Lai Tai as a character or the mechanics of the magus class, I was planning on retiring him after this adventure. So if he happens to get himself offed in the meantime, it's perfectly fine by me.[/sblock]
 

[sblock=OOC] Damaris can still keep the Invisibility for 4 more minutes and has another spell for the day. I believe she can reach Ru to heal him this round if he moves to c11, but the rest are too far away, [MENTION=88649]perrinmiller[/MENTION] , is this possible?. :(

Also... She might be able to attempt diplomacy if we surrender, but I don't know what can we expect after this. I have never been in this position before. [/sblock]
 

"Wait, I have to swat a fly."

Tyrion reaches far to where the flying dragon looking creature was, and smacks it with the full force of his hammer.

[sblock=Actions]

Unfortunately, Tyrion's to stubborn right now to back down. So, ATTACK!

I keep forgetting IC for some stupid reason when I roll, so this attack does hit. Add 1 to damage as well, and I think I just hit Noak for 30.

[sblock=ooc]I'll try to think of something, but Thuvian is not built for spellcaster duels, especially against casters with spell resistance. I'm trying to get more conjuration spells learned, but for now, he's still mostly got illusion spells, which are most effective against folks with lower will saves. I would have dropped an actual stinking cloud over the caster, but he would have had to pull a scroll out to do so, eliminating his ability to get some additional protection from Noak and the archers.[/sblock]

While Damaris and Thuvian have been protecting themselves, they in effect forced all the other attacks to go towards Lai Tai and Tyrion. Ru has been holding his own, but he really needs to be flanking and has no partner. He is not in danger of dying soon, but that will change fast if Tyrion goes down with G2 and Noak still combat effective.

Damaris has been in effect hiding from a 1st level rogue while not doing anything but continuing the Inspire Courage (for Free) and that has pretty much cost you the battle now. She could have (and soulnova even said so a few rounds ago) been moving to position herself to heal people at least a few rounds ago. Healing Ru this round will not save Lai Tai

Thuvian has been flying and has mirror images that was plenty of protection against the archers (who only hit him with a 19 and 20 btw). The Githyanki SR is 9 for G2, not much actually and Major Image bypasses SR anyway.

Tyrion took Noak down to 4hp remaining. But he is an Eidolon and can fight to the death or retreat to his master to get healed up and come back.

Huh, JS45 pretty much green-lighted me to kill Tyrion before the battle for forced retirement.

The spiritual hammer has expired, btw. I left it on the map as it just damaged Lai Tai.

The issue is that Tyrion is probably going down this next round unless he is lucky on saves again. JS45, please pre-roll a Reflex Saving throw now, and throw in an AoO just in case.

While an actual TPK is probably unlikely as Thuvian and Damaris can escape because of being Invisible, the mission is probably a failure now. Unless I really play the opposite stupid and that would be like them committing suicide. But you still have the boss to fight after this (that eidolon has a summoner around somewhere. ;) )

If you surrender to prevent Tyrion and Lai Tai from bleeding out, then I am not entirely sure what I will do yet. But with LPF’s rules on maintaining Treasure to XP ratios I will have to do something that allows you all to benefit a little instead of a huge punishment.

Though, my initial thoughts to salvage things would allow setting things up for a rematch of sorts.[/sblock]
