[Rhun]

are we summoning [MENTION=29098]Rhun[/MENTION]?

I'm here. Gonna take a bit to read through all the info and put together a Level 20 PC, assuming fireinthedust wants me.

 

[Scott DeWar]

as per request, I am making an ooc comment here instead of the recruitment thread.

Thorn grimaced as the balor's whip snapped so close behind her that she could feel the heat of its flame, the tiny pinpricks of sparks showering over her shoulders. She didn't spare it a glance though. Before her was the real foe: Malacarus.

Hedron: Since you stayed with Thad, you're going to be hit by the Balor first before you can attack. Did he hit your AC with any of those attacks? And are you therefore grappled by any of the whip attacks?

--Would this be the attacks in post 462? If so, those were sent toward Thorn and that was all it was said about it. I am more then a bit confused there. Shai also responded to that post . Also, you told me to go ahead make an attack before this post.--

OOC: Who was affected?

OOC: I put as much of the party as possible. I'd probably move up to turn it into a 60 ft radius circle, which I guess could hit everyone, and I'd avoid my balor buddy, so probably everyone except Thad.

--I am hanging onto thad, so that would mean I am missed by those effects as well.

is kind of hard to tell what is and what is not without a battle map. This being 3d in the astral makes it that much harder.--

Also, restating here - i believe Mal's exhaust wave went off before a lot of your actions, so we might want to take a look at how the str & dex penalties hurt everyone. For instance, the balor hits Thorn if she's affected, maybe Rook did less damage, etc.

The way I saw the map in my head was that Xanfire and Rook were off to one side of the battle.

Thorn was off in one direction (near the Balor) and so was Thad. Hedron may have been close enough to be affected.

My thinking is that you could have targeted Rook and Xanfire (and possibly Hedron) or Thorn and Thad (and possibly Hedron).

The way I see it, you couldn't have gotten Thorn + Xanfire/Rook. Since everyone was flying off in different directions, it's doubtful Thorn was within 60 of Rook and Xan.

100% you could have gotten both Rook and Xanfire though since Rook purposely was close to Xanfire, to protect him from the Balor.

Hedron will need to figure out where he was in relation to everybody else to determine if he was affected.

Thats my 2 cents (2.09 cents US).

 

[jackslate45]

From my interpretations, Mal summoned the Balor to slaughter Thad, and he was going to kill Xanfire personally. I figured that only Rook/Xanfire were caught up in it. Thats my 2 cents at any rate. US cents.

Hedron has had Thad under one arm this whole time. he ended up near the balor and since Mal did not want to affect the balor, he would not have affected those right next to it such as Thad, Hedron and Thorn. The balor tried to slam Hedron/Thad into Thorn as thorn was right next to the balor attacking it at that time-The Balor had tried to attack Thorn with long sword and whip.

 

[WarlockLord]

So then I guess everyone except Thorn, Hedron, & Thad got hit by the waves. Except the balor has a ten-foot reach, pretty sure Mal could have got a 60-foot cone within that. If he can get you all in a 60 foot radius, he will.

 

[Thaven]

Alright, so Xan and Rook are exhausted.

Fire, reduce Rook's damage by 21. So from 336 to 315.

I will adjust my stats accordingly.

The Balor is going to completely ignore me now, btw, with this change in damage.

Map: Yeah, I can't do those. RL game, sure, but not online. Dammit Jim, I'm a Dungeon Master, not a cartographer!

Position: everyone was spread out alot in the last round of the Swarm fight. Fairly evenly and in all directions.
1) Rook and Xanfire are in one area.
2) Thorn started in another and *fell* towards the Balor for her attack.
3) Hedron in his area *fell* to catch Thad and hung onto him and rolled an attack (last round), and this round is being pulled towards the Balor.
4) Mal is in another area, near the Balor, because they started together (called, not summoned, so we're good for the Balor's summoning powers; however, he's powerful enough that he doesn't take orders (sorry), and won't hold still for a round summoning a marilith, unless he can get some distance from the others first... which likely means teleport a mile away, summon for a round, then teleport back, so three round delay at most).
5) Thad is in one area, and last round Hedron caught him.

This round we account for the movements in the field, towards Thad or the Balor:

Hedron is with Thad, being moved towards the balor
Thorn moved by the Balor and Mal
Xanfire and Rook

so two areas: Xanfire and Rook, or Thorn/balor/Mal, with Hedron/Thad moving from XR to TBM.

I'm going to rule that Xanfire and Rook are exhausted on Mal's turn, the others are scattered across the field. This isn't a dungeon room, it's a vast expanse of 3D Astral sky.
