NG vs. NE: Neutral Evil is Victorious!

[PJSlavner]

Infiniti, maybe that one point of damage will make a difference in the long run. Let's see what the tree does this round. Maybe it will inflict the remaining 158 HP needed.

Greybar[sblock]Breath weapon is available next round. Jurathor knows nothing about his opponent, except that it has not acted yet, so it is not Jurathor's turn yet.[/sblock]

 

[Infiniti2000]

A large, featureless-faced golden skinned humanoid the size of an ogre . . . oops, wrong page. A huge, rubbery, black-barked tree trundles into the arena, getting sliced up by the blade barrier on its slow-ass journey. Obviously better suited for the water, the kelp-like tree with numerous tentacles (guess how many), "runs" to 105n80e.

Amazingly, it's action may not be finished. If the mod so approves, read the second spoiler.
[sblock] Is Quicken SPA for the call lightning? It's a valid selection. If so, his remaining action is given below. [/sblock]
Additional action description.
[sblock] The tree waves its limbs wildly, but very quickly. It does this for effect, of course, not really needing any somatic components. A bolt of lightning appears above Jurathor and shoots down through him, as if called out of thin air. [/sblock]

Round 158

The bolt of lightning has no effect (CL check 15).

 

[Greybar]

Jurathor cruises over in a wide arc to the Octotree and gives it a sonic blast that sounds like a scary big blast from that scary big dragon.

MEA from 50n90e50z to 90n75e50z
Std Breath Weapon - sonics

 

[PJSlavner]

Surprisingly, the tree does not dodge the blast (12 Ref save) and takes 58 points of sonic damage. The tree has 45 HP remaining after healing.

The tree does not seem scared of Jurathor.

Greybar[sblock]Jurathor can use breath in round 160.[/sblock]

 

[Infiniti2000]

The tree concentrates again, very quickly calling a different lightning bolt. Is it possible to have more than one call lightning active? If so, it begins a round of concentration. If not, it will do something else.

 

[PJSlavner]

Round 159

The tree calls down a new and improved lightning bolt (CL check 34). Jurathor dodges the bolt (18 Ref save), but still takes 5 points of electrical damage. Jurathor has 153 HP remaining.

 

[Greybar]

Jurathor swings a wide circle, returning to the same position over the tree but at 75z.

[sblock]
... and next turn cycle down to 50z and breathe again. Other than that, I'm out of tricks and don't want to risk grappling with something that has eight long tentacles that are probably specialized for that purpose.
[/sblock]

 

[PJSlavner]

Jurathor's action did not affect the tree at all.

Round 160

The tree heals up to 55 HP.

 

[Infiniti2000]

The tree presumably finishes casting and calls down an even newer and improved bolt. He then calls down the previously improved bolt (already passed SR). If the newer bolt does not pass SR, he quickly concentrates on another call lightning. Each round, he'll call down lightning bolts until destroyed or Jurathor comes down for a little play time. Compression is good from this end.
