[LPF] Mopping Up

Herr Heinrich Schreibersen-Wizard 5

looking about Heinrich is suddenly beset upon by the dretch demon!
in defense he moves to a more advantageous spot! However, the pain of the demon's bite is more then what he is expecting and the spell fizzles harmlessly away!!

Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no

You can use dispel magic to end one ongoing spell that has
been cast on a creature or object, to temporarily suppress the
magical abilities of a magic item, or to counter another
spellcaster's spell. A dispelled spell ends as if its duration had
expired. Some spells, as detailed in their descriptions, can't
be defeated by dispel magic. Dispel magic can dispel (but not
counter) spell-like effects just as it does spells. The effect of
a spell with an instantaneous duration can't be dispelled,
because the magical effect is already over before the dispel
magic can take effect.
You choose to use dispel magic in one of two ways: a
targeted dispel or a counterspell.

Targeted Dispel: One object, creature, or spell is the target of
the dispel magic spell. You make one dispel check (1d20 +
your caster level) and compare that to the spell with highest
caster level (DC = 11 + the spell's caster level). If successful,
that spell ends. If not, compare the same result to the spell
with the next highest caster level. Repeat this process until
you have dispelled one spell affecting the target, or you have
failed to dispel every spell.


If you target an object or creature that is the effect of an
ongoing spell (such as a monster summoned by summon
monster), you make a dispel check to end the spell that
conjured the object or creature.

Despite his grievous wounds, Ni manages to shoot a brief smile to Arianna. "My thanks, mademoiselle!" He then turns his attention to the battlefield at large. A brief moment of intense concentration, a flourishing gesture, and a current of (much more amiable) energy races through the space. Arianna and the elementals feel it course through their bodies.

Both elementals continue to attack the summoner and his animations.

[sblock=Actions]Ni casts Haste. From my count, he should be able to reach Arianna and the two elementals from where he's currently standing. Boy is it nice to not have to roll a concentration check.

Elemental B 5' to T -1, full attack: 1d20+10=19, 1d6+7=11, 1d20+10=15, 1d6+7=10

Elemental C Fort Save: 1d20+6=17
Elemental C full attacks the Mud elemental at T -2: 1d20+10=18, 1d6+7=9, 1d20+10=12, 1d6+7=8
If that mud elemental somehow gets killed, the elemental will 5' due south to hedge in the halfling, but it looks unlikely. [/sblock]

The chaos starts to settle down as the elementals continue to duke it out with mixed results. A concentrated effort by the serpent, the archer, and the dretch manage to drop one earth elemental, while the mud elementals are able to further wound, but not kill, the other earth elemental. The horse creature also takes one desperate failed attack on the compy before it and the serpent suddenly go poof. The healthy dretch assaults Arianna, landing both claws, as the one remaining fiendish eagle moves five feet and unsuccessfully assails the witch. Despite getting hit, the halfling still stands, though he appears to be slowing down a bit as he steps back and pulls out a wand. After a quick wave, a pit appears in the area between him and the party. Finally, the ever present magic bolts manage to finish off one of the dretches and bring Arianna's skin to a near breaking point.

[sblock=entrapped]The creature has an ability that restricts another creature’s movement, usually with a physical attack such as ice, mud, lava, or webs. The target of an entrap attack must make a Fortitude save or become entangled for the listed duration. If a target is already entangled by this ability, a second entrap attack means the target must make a Fortitude save or become helpless for the listed duration. The save DCs are Constitution-based. A target made helpless by this ability is conscious but can take no physical actions (except attempting to break free) until the entrapping material is removed. The target can use spells with only verbal components or spell-like abilities if it can make a DC 20 concentration check. An entangled creature can make a Strength check (at the same DC as the entrap saving throw DC) as a full-round action to break free; the DC for a helpless creature is +5 Greater than the saving throw DC. Destroying the entrapping material frees the creature. In this case, it has hardness 5, hp 5.[/sblock]

OOC: The party is up. Earth elemental C needs a DC 14 Fort save to avoid being entrapped.

 

[Qik]

Continuing to ignore his wounds, Ni grins, sensing the tide of the battle turning. Cupping his hands, he blows mightily: this initially-normal gust grows and thickens, coalescing into a swirling form of living air. Ni yells to the creature, but it is already moving to act. The air creature spins mightily, focusing its fury on the halfling summoner.

[sblock=Actions]Earth Elemental C Fort Save: 1d20+6=18
Earth Elemental full attacks Mud Elemental at U -2: 1d20+10=11, 1d6+7=10, 1d20+10=17, 1d6+7=9

Ni summons an air elemental at S -3. The elemental enters its whirlwind form.

Now, I've never used whirlwind before, so I'm unfamiliar with it, and may require input from others. However, from how I read it, once the elemental changes form, it can move without provoking AoOs, and every creature it touches has to make a Reflex save or suffer slam damage (in this case, 1d4+3). Ni'll tell the elemental to focus on the halfling, so I would have the elemental move back and forth in and out of the halfling's square until it is dead, then move onto the mud elementals. It takes 10 ft of a flying creature's speed to turn 180 degrees: from my count, that means the elemental can pass through the halfling's space four separate times. Damage for each of these: 1d4+3=4, 1d4+3=6, 1d4+3=5, 1d4+3=6

Just in case the halfling survives this, the air elemental will end its turn in his square, still whirlwinding, so as to force him to make a concentration check. If the halfling dies somewhere along this process, the air elemental will turn to the mud elementals, focusing on the injured one first.

I think all this is kosher, but let me know if I've missed/misread something.[/sblock]

[sunshadow21]

[sblock=whirlwind]With the tight quarters of that particular nook and the square that the halfling is in being just outside of your close range so it can't start in that square, I'm going to say it's only able to effectively get three 3 passes and the halfling gets a circumstance modifier to his reflex save because the wind can't really get fully around him due to the wall being right there.[/sblock]

The air elemental struggles to get a proper attack vector as the halfling manages to wedge himself solidly into a small fissure in the wall, but is finally able to do some damage on it's final pass, though not quite enough to kill the summoner, who is left staggered but still barely conscious. In it's efforts, however, it does manage to batter one of the mud elementals (the one in U,-4) enough to make it disappear, so it's not a complete waste. Meanwhile the debris cloud being thrown up makes its impossible for anyone else to see into that nook (U,-3 and U,-4 are effectively obscured by total concealment for the entire round due the frantic actions of the air elemental).

 

[Qik]

[sblock=OOC]Obviously, you're the boss.

I counted out the steps, and the elemental could get 4 occupations of that square in from a starting point of S -3. If you'd like, I can walk through the numbers here.

As far as the Ref save - again, you're the boss, but I think a circumstantial bonus doesn't make any sense. The elemental is completely surrounding the halfling by occupying the entirety of its space. No matter how pressed the halfling is against the wall, the elemental is able to completely surround it from all sides, not just around it, but above and below it. The text says nothing about circumstantial modifiers which would enable the victim to resist the attack. And I'm not even sure if a full envelopment is necessary to deal the damage. So I would respectfully disagree.

Let me know what you think.[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]If it was a smooth wall and an even ceiling, I would agree with you entirely, but you have to remember this is an old mine, so neither wall nor ceiling are precisely even, and the halfling is small enough he can take advantage of some of the smaller cracks that a medium creature would not be able to benefit from. Given that and the fact that the minimum height of the whirlwind is 10 feet, along with the fact that the square he's currently in is already a bit of a squeeze for the halfling by himself, even before you put a 10 foot tall whirlwind in there, I just have a hard time believing that the air elemental would be operating at an optimum strength.[/sblock]
