[LPF] Through the Looking Gate

[Scott DeWar]

Vincenzo swings as hard as he can with the sword, though he is very much wishing he could use his rapier.

1d20+11=25, 1d8+3=11, 1d20+6=24, 1d8+3=9 though the hits are solid, the rock absorbs most of his effort. [after dr: 6+4=10 points damage.

 

[Satin Knights]

Being pinned down in the water room doesn't look advantageous, and since the rock creatures didn't take the choke point, Tasanto gallops through and turns on the one he battered the most so far. Attempting to use flank, with a errant swing, he catches the roof of the room instead of the creature with his hammer.

Lem shouts, "Ok, I'll be the first to admit that I'm all tapped out on bright ideas." The cook proceeds to give a high-pitched yell as he moves in for the attack. His flame covered fists glow with an eerie blue tinge.

Lem is using a swift action to enable his ki strike, making his attacks magical for this turn as if by a +1 weapon, thus overcoming damage resistance. Flurry of Blows at the rough rock creature in front of him.

Looks like I wasted that action, as both attacks missed due to the creature's cover with:

If both earth elementals take OAtk on Tasanto:

Maui scowls when the two elementals emerge to attack from inside the wall. They had emerged from the wall, he should have realised they would be able to do that. His scowl turned to a gasp of surprise when the cattaur surged through the middle of their massive foes, but his surprise was not a barrier to his swift response. As the thunderous earthen arms lashed out from the walls at Tasanto, Maui followed in his companions wake hoping the stone foes would not have the speed to strike a second time. He growled a word at Taniwha. "Ka mate! Undaunted by the strange giants, Taniwha moved from his defensive crouch into a flurry of savage bites and claws at the wall as Maui struck with his scimitar from behind. Maui lands a heavy blow almost destroying the already badly burnt creature, but Taniwha can only manage to leave ineffective scratches upon the surface of the stone wall.

[sblock=Actions] Maui moves through gap after Tasanto, moving behind Ele1, flanking with Vincenzo
Free Action: Order Taniwha to attack
Maui takes 5ft step towards creatures

Maui power attacks Ele1 with MW scimitar : 31 vs AC=Potential Crit Hit for 16 dmg; not confirming crit because elementals are immune, right? So, 11 dmg after DR. E1 had 42 dmg +10 dmg from Vincenzo +11 from Maui = 63/68 Hps left

Tasanto takes a huge gambit, allowing himself the opportunity to be attacked twice by the heavy rock creatures, to allow the other's to act without fear of counter attack. While his own attacks prove to be ineffective, it does allow the combined offers of Vincenzo and Maui to defeat the smoothest rock creature. The slash from Maui's attack causes the exposed rock to start crumbling, and fall harmless to the ground. While you cannot see the rest of the body, it appears the first creature has been defeated. The alchemical fire, still burning brightly, finally dies out, leading the rock as blacked as ever.

With the first creature defeated, Lem and Galandra focus on the second one. Lem's attacks merely strike at the wall, and Galandra's arrows seem to strike at thin air, causing the creature to look upon them in anger.

The retaliatory strike was quick and lethal. While Lem was able to dodge the viscous uppercut from the ground, a second arm appears from the wall, making it's way towards Galandra. Her bow still at the ready, Galandra does not dodge as a large spike pierces her side, a deep bloody gash appearing where it struck.

[sblock=GM]
Smooth:
-AoO: 1d20+12=14, 2d6+14=18 Miss

Galandra also knows she is in reach of the rough creature now, so if she uses a ranged attack it WILL provoke.

move 20 feet to stand just west of Maui [since AOO's are used up], lunge attack against 'rough' rock head [imposing -2 to ac for this round.]

1d20+11=25, 1d8+3=6 the attack only scratch some dirt off of it. [1 point damage after dr]

 

[soulnova]

"UGH! You gotta be kidding me!" Galandra grunts in disbelief as the creature strikes her side. That one looks bad... very bad. She looks back and orders Mika to move to Menik's left. She then steps to the center of the chamber, hopefully out of reach from the creature.

"You piece of sh-" she shoots at it from the back.

Free = Order Mika to move

Guessing she's out of reach she uses Rapid Shot again.

Taniwha immediately turns its attention to the swinging limbs of the spiked elemental, continuing to snap and claw savagely, but only scoring one decent hit on the creature that protrudes from the wall. Taniwha steps in to the creature's side swinging his scimitar as hard as he can, carving a chunk from its exposed back.

With Vincenzo's gambit, the creature is unable to attack Galandra again, but the rock creature does in fact graze Viecnzo's side as he moves into the other room. He does take a pebble out in his counter attack however.

While both Galandra and Lem have proven ineffective at hitting the rock creature, Maui and his companion prove otherwise. 4 attacks from the pair of them show signs that the creature is getting weaker, as more dirt and rubble fall to the ground.
