He looks to reaching into his robes for something![gm]At this point, combat begins. Everyone would normally roll initiative at this point, but don't do so just yet. The reason being is that it probably won't matter, if you can't beat a 32. That's what happens when you invite epic-level entities to your party. On a sidenote, I didn't expect the ring-giver to win initiative; the other two (Margull & Laramon) have much higher initiatives, but the ring-giver rolled a 20. Still, this might be over before it really begins. The ring-giver was not prepared for this situation.INITIATIVE ORDER (THUSFAR):Ring-Giver: 38Laramon: 32Margull: 28[/gm]The ring-giver draws a tiny, 1-inch wide by 1-inch tall by 1/2-inch long potion vial from his vestment, and un-corking it with a flick of his thumb, downs the contents, vanishing from sight![gm]Retrieve potion = move action.Drink potion = standard action.[/gm]Laramon, who is across the room, leaning on his staff, laughing at a joke being told by Lt. Benquist, straightens up, still clutching his staff, saying, "You can't hide from me, hooligan! Cease thy flight, and face the consequences of thy misdeeds!"Laramon waves his hand, obviously casting some sort of spell, although he utters not a single incantation.[gm]Save vs. Paralysis: DC:45Ring-giver: (33) = Fails. Ring-giver is paralyzed.[/gm]Laramon says, "He managed to turn himself invisible, but it did him no good. My spell caught him. He cannot move. Good Lieutenant, please arrest this man, once I have dispelled the invisibility."[gm]At this point, combat ends. Laramon casts Dispel Magic. He cannot fail to dispel a simple potion. The man becomes visible once more.[/gm]Lieutenant Benquist seems at a loss, "Ummm... he's as stiff as a statue. How are we going to move him?EVERYONE: As suspected, combat was over before it really could begin. What do you do?</blockquote>
