OOC: House Millithor in COSQ part 4

[Seonaid]

I'm rusty on spells, but if Resist Elements would do any potential good within the duration of the spell, Narcelia would take it.

Tension. Rising.



Quertus' planned combat tactics:

1. Dimensional Anchor at Balor.

2. Enervation(s).

3. Limited Wish for -7 to Balor's next save.

4. Banishment. Pray.

5. Scream like a little girl and run around praising Lloth OR curse everything to hell.

55% chance to pass Balor's SR. Any suggestions?

I don't think Banishment will work if the Balor is Dimensionally Anchored. Besides, it doesn't solve the problem since there's nothing stopping it from plane shifting back to the Prime Material and attacking us again tomorrow. Killing it is the only (semi-) permanent solution.

Not sure about the Dimensional Anchor + Banishment thing (Endur? Would be nice to know.). But Balors don't have Plane Shift (which is probably the reason why they haven't conquered material plane yet). Unless the other Balor (or some spellcaster) summons it back, it's not coming back. Anyway, the DA keeps the Balor from escaping at least (hard to grapple when one is teleporting). And I don't think we want to let it away to plot surprise attacks.

I can just pepper it with Ray of Enfeeblement and Enervations if the Banishment route doesn't get support. Zieggrek and others should be able to rip it to shreds after it's weakened (if not before). We just better not give it time to lay waste with spell-like abilities.

We should definately try to Anchor it, rather than banish it. I think there's a fair chance that Kurgoth has a 9th level or higher cleric under his command (5th level spell).

How are we going to make the balor spend its Attack of Opportunity so Zieggrek will have a chance to initiate that grapple?

Just have one of the Vamps to try to grapple it first...

Torellan currently has a full attack of...

Two points higher if the Bull's Strength is still in effect. It might have ended when Balor took a tour of Szith Morcane though, I'm not sure in what point the spells where cast.

Is it better that he grapple than disarm the Balor? With a two handed weapon he should be able to inflict quite a bit of damage, and save the very valuable weapon from an automatic destruction when the Balor dies. Perhaps the best solution is that he disarm the Balor round 1 then start the grapple round 2 to make the balor easier to hit for the rest of us.

That might be a good plan. And it's going to be rather humiliating for the Balor if it works.

Damage, yes. Attack, no (Weapon Finesse and all that). But I had already forgotten the spell on my damage, thanks for reminding me about that
