[LPF] Through the Looking Gate

[jackslate45]

Tasanto reaches his polearm back, and strikes the creature with enough force to kill a lesser man. However, while the creature is dazed by the sonic spell, it does not cause the creature to lose it's shape. Instead, it reforms around the hammer, as the flowing water from underneath the monster feed into it instead of the floor, causing it's shape to solidify.

It still being up gives Vincenzo and Galandra another chance to strike at it, causing it to open up more holes in it's body. One more good attack like Tasanto's or Galandra may finish it...

[sblock=GM]
Good news everyone! The creature did not die, because it is immune to crits, but not dazing! Never understood that about these creatures, but that is true.

So, while that attack did smack the hell out of it, it is still up. I re-rolled the damage, Tasanto did 10 points to it after DR.

Seeing that these elementals seem more resistant to blows than to magic, Menik casts magic missiles at the watery blob before it can strike again.

[sblock=OOC] Oops. An honest mistake. I originally thought Resist Lightning was a lvl 1 spell. Then when I corrected it I forgot to add spells to the lvl 1 slots that I deleted and changed to lvl 2 slots with that spell. Never mind.
@Scott DeWar Sorry, Guidance can be used for attacks, saves or skill checks. Not damage By the way, DeWar ... does that come from a spanish last name by any chance?: De La Guerra? [/sblock]

Maui barks at Taniwha to attack, and the cheetah moves forward, brushing past those in his way to take up position in front of Vincenzo where it snaps at the watery creature with a ferocious bite.

Maui continues to bless Vincenzo with Tane's guidance.

[sblock=Actions] Command Taniwha to attack the Water Elemental.
Taniwha moves up and bites: 19 vs AC=Hit for 13 dmg If the creature can be tripped he would attempt to trip it, but I find it hard to imagine an elemental can be tripped.

Cast Guidance on Vincenzo again [/sblock]

UPDATED MAP

 

[jackslate45]

GM: Sorry for not posting this earlier; Server error at work caused a late night, and forgot to say the creature is dead. I will hopefully update after sleeping

 

[Scott DeWar]

Once again Vincenzo is given deificaly inspired clarity of thought from Tane, However he sees the creature has been disrupted enough times to cause it to disperse harmlessly about.

[sblock-Jbear] The name 'Scott DeWar is a pseudonym that I use here, even though I have found it to be a real nam of real people. It is a permutation of my favorite imbibation: Dewar's Scotch.

Having said that I must admitt that a more aprapo name might have been Don Quixote de La Mancha or even donkey jote' de la munchies.

Jackslate45: have you not been told? sleep is over rated![/sblock]

this is a test to see if I can edit

 

[jackslate45]

Menik's magical attack did the trick. The creature is unable to keep it's form, and the water splashes down to add to the growing water pool in the small area. Then, something odd occurs. The water that was flooding in, starts sinking back into the floor, as though the creature's existence was what kept the water coming. Now that it was defeated, the excess water immediately starts to retreat back into the opened hole in the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the opened hole vanishes back to be the natural ground it was prior to Tasanto touching it, and the water that remains is the only proof that the anomaly occurred.

Tasanto decides to go back to searching the water to see if any previous victims had left things behind. He casts a spell to see magical auras and then drags his hammer through the water to see if he can catch it on anything interesting.
