[LPF] Through the Looking Gate

[jackslate45]

The creature seems to realize that Vincenzo is a living lightning rod, as the creature fires two "lightning bolts" that attack both Tasanto and Vincenzo. However, as these bolts hit you, you realize that these bolts are merely an extension of the creatures hands, slamming into the two of you.

Vincenzo, having a significant amount of metal on, seems to draw the creatures' arms closer to his chest, striking him with enough force to wind him. However, as the weapon Tasanto bears only is partially metal, the creature's attack is drawn towards the weapon head, unable to channel down the weapon. Tasanto is able to dodge the attack due to this.

The creature then floats off the ground, gaining a little bit of height to stay out of way of plants enhanced by Galandra's spell.

Everyone is back up.

Ah, my curse as a DM. Roll a 20 followed by 2 2's. Yep.
1d20+19=21, 2d6+5=11, 1d20+16=18, 2d6+5=16

I re-read the creatures ability, and I realized that my original attack on Tasanto was 3 too high, as the ability reads "metal weapon", probably meaning ALL metal. At any case, the first attack does still crit Tasanto, but I've made note of it for future cases.

Trusting in Maui's protection, Tasanto goes claw to claw with this beast of the storm. But the nearly shapeless nature of the creature makes it hard to get a hold of. One claw manages to meet resistance as it tears through what might be flesh.

Lem also rushes forward, but cannot close with the enemy this round. Lacking any other ideas on what this creature might be vulnerable to, he open his waterskin and tosses it into the midst of the lightning creature's form.

[jackslate45]

Tasantos claws do in fact hit it, but the creature seems to be unfazed by the attack. The hit seems to have done nothing... (Creature has DR 5 )

Lem's water attack seemed to have done nothing to it. In fact, the creature takes no notice of the halfing as it approaches, clearly happy to have found a suitable meal in Vincenzo.

It is Menik once again proving a caster's superiority over it. Another roar like a thunderclap is heard, and sparks from the creature seem to enhance it's fury after Menik's spell hit it. Two "lightning bolts" head towards where it's face was, and seem to be trying to rub something off. It seems that Menik's spell was in fact successful.

[sblock=OOC] Holding turn until after Vincenzo has gone.

In this form Maui is large. If Vincenzo stays there or moves in, Maui won't be able to get in this turn.

With the DR Maui is probably the most likely to deal significant damage to this creature.

Otherwise Maui will have to go around the long way, which he can do. [/sblock]

Galandra grunts seeing the others' attack failing to do any damage. "This might take a while!" she steps in front of Menik once he has already casted his spell. She lets two arrows fly again.

"Mika! Bite!" Galandra orders the animal to attack the creature. The leopard bolts ahead and tries to bite and claw the bright thing.

OOC: Jackslate45: sorry, was at the hospital yesterday, and night before. Just got my primary computer returned and having weird issues with posting.

Vincenzo is busy shaking off the effect of the lightning elemental (taking a guess here) for a moment. He knows it is still a bad idea as he tries to stab twice, then moves back 5 feet (to the north)

OOC: Ditzie is not letting me move Vincenzo, sorry. still working on fixing the problem.

[jbear]

As soon as Vincenzo steps back Maui closes in on the lightning creature. Taniwha flinches his ears back and growls as his master gets in the way of the cheetah's attacks. Maui roars back. In response, Taniwha skirts around the creature and enters the tangling spell, growling all the way. Both felines snap savagely at the floating creature. Maui's fangs and claws sink into the essence of the elemental, grabbing it, ensuring it cannot so easily fly away.

[jackslate45]

Maui, Taniwha, Vicenzo, and Galandra take advantage of the creatures's loss of sight to full effect. All of the attacks launched at it now strike it, but as Tasanto proved earlier the attacks are met with some sort of natural resistance by the creature. Maui's jaw, as large as it is, is unable to bite down on something substantial enough to grapple the creature.

However, as Mika gets closer to the creature to attack it, Galandra realizes that the cheetah is a little hesitant to attack this bizarre creature. Mika growls at it, hair up in anger, but does not strike at it like Galandra thought she would.

The creature again roars at being attacked from multiple sides. As the attacks on it increase, so does the fury at which it attacks. It strikes at the position where Vincenzo was, but instead of a metal wearing fighter the "lightning bolt" instead hits a large tiger. Maui is able to avoid the electrical discharge of the creature, but is still hit hard by the creatures arms, even through the creature can no longer trust it's eyes.

Tasanto is another story. With the weapon now dropped on the ground, the creatures attack is naturally drawn to the metal head, avoiding Tasanto completely.

Whatever advantage the creature had is now gone, as the party moves in closer to surround and defeat it.
[sblock=Combat]

2 attacks. Tasanto got missed due to a 1 and <50 concealment, but Maui still got hit even with the total concealment penalty. And while a 25 is good, it's CMD (even denied it's DEX) is a 27 right now

I have a feeling it will be dead next round anyway. Fire away!
