NG vs. N: Neutral Good Victorious!

[Gansk]

The sphinx leaves in round 456 and the swarm is at 110N90E.

Next for NG in round 456: a juvenile battle dragon. (Draconomicon)

 

[PJSlavner]

The dragon has 16 ranks in Knowledge (arcana) and 15 ranks in Concentration, Diplomacy, Intimidate, Listen, Search, and Spot.

It has the feats Hover, Improved Natural Armor, Improved Speed, Power Attack, and Weapon Focus (bite).

It does not recognize the whirling blades of death, and knows nothing about them other than what it observed.

I'm not sure that the threskisphinx can hurt the swarm either.

Infiniti, since you have Sandstorm, do you see any creative uses of the sphinx's spells that would generate an Area attack?

Sorry I missed this earlier. Assuming the swarm is not an Animal, the best the sphinx could do is summon nature's ally II (small fire elemental) to actually attack. Then he could summon nature's ally I (perhaps a wolf) just before he leaves just to stick around to help the next combatant perhaps.

OOC: It's there now. Good ideas with the summoning.

OK, let's say the fire elemental appeared, missed and was killed by the shredstorm in the first round. The shredstorm took 4 points of fire damage in the process and has 66 hp left.

A wolf was summoned before the sphinx ran away and is at 110N85E. The swarm is at 110N90E.

The wolf goes away at the end of round 461. It can act with the battle dragon on round 456.

Carry on!

 

[Greybar]

The battle dragon swoops in along the ground, landing just before the shredstorm and breathing a cone of sonic energy into it.

(MEA to 110N60E (landing), Std: breathe sonic breath weapon)

Oh, and the wolf runs behind the dragon, to 110N45E.

 

[PJSlavner]

The blades dodge the sonic energy (27 Ref save), but still take 19 points of sonic damage. The blades have 47 HP remaining. The dragon can breathe again in round 459.

Round 457

The blades zip over to 110N60E and shred the dragon for 8 points of damage, and shock it for 12 points of electrical damage. The dragon has 113 HP remaining. The dragon is not distracted (rolled 21 Fort save).

 

[Greybar]

The dragon takes to the air away from the blades, swearing in draconic.

(MEA in a slow rise to 10N60E25Z, Std: cast Aid on self)

The wolf runs to 115N5E.

 

[PJSlavner]

The dragon now has 120 HP.

Round 458

The blades zip over to 110N5E and rip the wolf apart for 15 points of damage plus 7 electrical damage. The wolf disappears.

 

[Greybar]

The dragon does a slow turn, cruising upward, sighing at the expected loss of the wolf.

(MEA to 20N100E50Z, turning back to face towards the center of the board (and the storm))

(BTW, did you include the dragon's DR in the shredding attack?)
