[sblock=WD]Is Girgal riding Ripclaw?

Charge is not possible due to the wreckage of the mechanical dragon in the way. Would Ripclaw still go in?

The range on your summon elemental ability is 30'. The robed man with multiple images is about 50' away from Girgal to start. Assuming Girgal is not mounted, does he move forward?

Thanks.[/sblock]

- Yes.

- Would a jumping pounce be possible? Jumping over the debris?

The range on your summon elemental ability is 30'. The robed man with multiple images is about 50' away from Girgal to start. Assuming Girgal is not mounted, does he move forward?
- Sorry, thought him to be near the former dragon hit.
If Ripclaw can jump-charge, I will just conjure it then. If not, Ripclaw will approach carefully until summoning distance.

Thanks.
- No problem [/sblock]

 

[kinem]

The fake dragon was designed to scare away interlopers, but it also serves as some protection for the men inside. For one thing, it absorbed the full force of Keira's icy blast, though it was shattered in the process.

Enough of the framework remains that it would be difficult for Ripclaw to jump inside and pounce on the many-imaged robed man.

Ripclaw approaches the remains of the 'dragon head' and Girgal does a bit of conjuring. A small roughly humanoid creature made of rock rises out of the ground next to the robed man and attempts to slam him, but hits what must be a false image, which then disappears.

The men inside the 'dragon' begin to flee, away from the party, and presumably towards a rear exit hole

The robed man withdraws as well. The earth elemental takes the opportunity to attack as he turns to flee, and strikes a blow on the man himself this time, not just an image. But the man is still able to get away.

However, unlike the other men, he flees only partway, then turns and casts a spell. A point of light shoots from his hand towards the front of the 'dragon' - and continues out. Near Keira, it explodes into a massive fireball!

Keira nearly takes the full force of the fireball, although her combat training does allow her to turn and shield her face from the deadly flames.

Aram is the furthest from the blast and he is able to evade the flames entirely by ducking into a depression in the rough earthern ramp.

Girgal and Ripclaw are burned from behind but escape the worst of the fire.

Father Fuller reacts in time to bring up his shield, protecting him somewhat though he too is burned.

ooc: PCs to act

[sblock=ooc]Aram 64/64
Fuller 37/58
Girgal 45/66

[Jemal]

*OOC: Keira actually should be 5' forward (She was at the same point on this map last round, and took a 5' step forward as she breathed)
Question: How many images are there of the man?

 

[kinem]

ooc: OK, fixed the map.

There are 5 remaining images of the man, 4 of which are presumably fake.

Girgal, AC 23 (T15, FF20), HP 45/66, F +11,R+8,W+14
Ripclaw HP 57/57

Ripclaw moves forward to the other end of the construct as Girgal conjures some healing from his wand for himself.


[sblock=ooc]
use one lesser vigor charge.

Ripclaw makes double move to stand in the empty square north (up) of the uppermost right "D"

ooc: I forgot about Ripclaw's evasion. He saved so he took no damage. Girgal still took damage though.

WD, please specify where you want to go more precisely. You may also take into account the above errata

 

[Rhun]

Aram rushes forward into the cavern, around the outside of the "dragon." He takes cover at the corner, ready to plunge his blades into the robed man should he pass by him.

Double move to stand in the empty square north (up) of the uppermost right "D"

 

[Jemal]

"Lets get rid of those, shall we?" Keira weaves her hands intricately in front of her, and with an unintelligible word of power five silver streaks fly forward, one impacting each of the robed figures, dissipating the fakes. With a shout of triumph, she dives behind the dragons skeletal frame, removing herself from his sight "He's all yours, boys!"

[sblock=ooc]
Keira casts Magic missile: 5 missiles vs 5 images. Each missile that strikes a mirror image should dissipate it, and the last deals... Magic Missile (1d4+1=2) 2 damage to the real mage.
