Eanos Setirav, human inquisitor
[sblock=Wherein I may make things messier]So, here's the thing: Eanos has a use of Determination left. It means that he can force the dog who took down Fulgrim to re-roll the attack, and take the results of the second roll. It's a great ability, but it does make things really, really messy if I don't happen to be online when the round updates.
I know the round's already gotten painful with other retconning, but I honestly think that's what I'd have had Eanos do had I been online at the time. For all I know, the thing might still hit, but if it doesn't ....
Of course, since Maui's obscuring mist was in response to Fulgrim falling, I'm inclined to think he'd need a retcon, too. Oi. Many apologies. Anyway, I'll post an update with everything I intend and we'll see how this goes[/sblock]
"Fulgrim, no!" Eanos calls out as the dog's jaws snap in what will clearly be a painful attack. Eanos swears at their luck, and at the lack of flour to toss everywhere.
When another set of dogs appears, Eanos groans, then, as the summoner uses his eidolon to escape the pack, the inquisitor slaps his forehead.
"For the love of secrets, where's my bloody brain at?" he says. Shaking his head to clear out recriminations for action, he springs to Temarel. The red-haired archer grabs the silver key dangling from his neck and touches it to Temarel, whispering
"Lady, make his flesh a secret evil might never know."
"That should make you dog proof," Eanos announces.
"But the rest of us are still chow, unless: I strongly suggest you let your lady head home, and start laying down your own pack, yes? Starting right about where she was headed, from the look of things."
"And Maui: if all that water I threw around didn't give your cat a head cold, how about he adds his sniffer to the doggies, yes?"
[sblock=actions]Okay, Determination (free action) messiness or no, this part of the round I'd have done the same thing, and like Eanos I feel a bit silly not having thought of it sooner, especially since I just used this bloody tactic
against PCs in Distant Relations.
Move:To C12
Standard: Cast Protection from Evil on Temarel, which should make him utterly immune to fiendish dog bites, thus freeing him to try Eanos' suggestion.
Namely, I'm suggesting he dismiss Sauvressa (free action) and instead start using his own standard actions summonses to pepper the field with celestial dogs, over in the area where we've been thinking he is.
* Dogs (and cheetahs) have scent (headdesk for forgetting, since Maui had just used it. ugh). That means they can use a move action to get a direction for unseen foes, a move action to try to close, and if they get within 5 feet, they pinpoint! three doggies and a cat mean summoner encircled! Even if Qik rules that the obscuring mist stays, the cat and dogs can still use scent to navigate.
And, heck, if nothing else, the dogs can soak up some hits while they're trying to sniff out invisi-hater.[/sblock]
