The Avalon Chronicles

Game Master lynora

ryuzo won't be fooled by the illusion, and her casting iron body will provoke an AoO. I'll roll that when I get to a real keyboard:)

Ok Mel just might go all timey whimey here. but I need to know if this is at least feasible... with two Vai's in the same location from different time streams then could Mel somehow create a temporal back lash using the energy that brought the alternate Vai here and thus creating a temporary rift flinging the bad Vai back to her own time stream?

Mel would /at least/ need to be present in the room to enact this plan, and I'm giving it about 50/50 odds of success. Fair?

Ace, you may now arrive.

I don't need to be in the room to have the idea though, also I am thinking that instead of her own timestream she could become trapped in the void space between time streams. down side is it may send our current Vai as well.

Ryuzo attacks while Vai casts
Combat! AoO

Thats +42 to concentration check on that spell (DC 15 + twice spell level + damage dealt, iirc)

Good-Vai's save vs. Time shunting: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Ryuzo's AoO misses

The smaller Blue disappears completely, removed from Time.

"Thank you."

Turns ethereal, and ports into the lab, finding a corner to hide in.
Then, he sicks his semi army of shadows on the evil Vai.

They will stop when she reaches 1 STR.

The shadows do not appear to be able to drain the strength from the Iron Bodied Dragon.

Still 52 points of neg energy damage...that ain't blocked
Spellcraft 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (8) + 25 = 33

That'll hit an 8th level spell

::Use electricity, that spell makes her vulnerable to electricity now, and it will slow her. She can't resist the effect.::

Ace notices that Ginni is a bit hurt as well as most of the girls in the room. "Hope you don't mind my healing Tami first, she seemed to be the most injured." He says quietly to his girlfriend.

More loudly "Alright girls, gather round me and I'll see about taking care of your wounds as well"

Using Mimic Class Feature to duplicate Channel Energy. 5d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 1, 5, 1) = 12

That's because it's the 'Everything has already gone to hell' security protocol....she built it in case of invasion. And it's not paranoia if they really are out to get you....

** spoiler omitted **

I realize what it is. But Phaezeriel doesn't. :)

In the hallway, Phaezeriel stops completely still for just a moment then begins flying towards the SIM rooms at top speed.

Ehos gently returns Jaiye to her feet, having carried her this far. He ensures that everyone in the Sim Room is momentarily safe before fishing for his datapad and questioning the room. 'Do you guys think we can use the Sim Room to hide? The attacker wants Jaiye dead.'

Kezzin wakes after a nap in his chambers to the sound of a Dragon's roar. Knowing it is a stupid thing to do, he drops to the door to his chamber and slips out, following the sounds of angry dragons, drawn like metal filings to a lodestone.

When he reaches the ruined door to Aananda's lab, he darts in through the doorway, perching on some ruined equipment in a corner as far from the fight as the room will allow. His eyes wide, he watches the scene with morbid and heedless fascination.

As Ace does his healing thing Mel seems totally lost her mental state is far removed from everyone else her fingers operating at a frantintic pase calculations and formulas running at a near frantic pace. once the healing burst goes off she looks up at what happened then suddenly she activates her wand again.

Temporal anomaly, our Vai is gone for a short time. now is our chance I have a theory

Mel turns to run out of the Sim room looking back security protocols are reestablished here I need to get to the source of the anomoly. In Ana's Lab, we may only have one chance at this, if it works.

"yeah that's what I hit, Hermes go invisible and hit the big one"

ok something went wrong, and I can't find it let me try that again...

d6 each is cold damage, d6 is electricity, the to hit now includes hope bonus

Phaezeriel stops again, his eyes casting back and forth. He touches the wall to find Vai, but the spells cannot locate her in the school. With a snarl of frustration he turns and heads for the sounds of a very large, very angry dragon. It doesn't sound like Vai, but it sounds like the only place where Bad Things are still happening. I will check there first.

On his way there he manifests Schism once again and begins prepping himself for combat as he flies.

He is also totally unaware that his eyes which have been softly glowing silver since his transformation a few months ago, have begun glowing red for the second time that day.

FCD let me know when Phaezeriel gets to the lab. I dunno how far the infirmary is from the lab currently. He is moving at 250 feet per round and has perfect maneuverability.

"Mel, is this SIM room safe again? If so, the girls and Ehos can remain here, while I'll go with you to the lab. I get the sneaking suspicsion that's where all this is going down, and I can't let you go alone"

Keme grinned, knowing full well that he had no chance against this dragon, as she had already demonstrated once. But he literally couldn't just give up. Stupid Hope.

"Well, we literally have Justice on our side now, so that's gotta count for something right? If only for additional targets...."

Everyone in the room fighting Vai who is not a Champion and anyone who is (and isn't Vai) and chooses to accept the help gets a +6 Hope bonus to attack rolls and saves.

Also, Fei can you summarize Courage's bonuses when you arrive?

tarka is unsathed by the energy attack, and just backs out of the room,

"Mel, is this SIM room safe again? If so, the girls and Ehos can remain here, while I'll go with you to the lab. I get the sneaking suspicsion that's where all this is going down, and I can't let you go alone"

i managed to re-establish security in this sim room but it is operating outside the rest of the school. there is no remote access to shut it back down. it should be safe for now.

she looks to Ace ok lets go we don't have much time. the sooner we get there the more time I have to set trap

Lewis backs out of the room and doesn't stop until he backs up against the wall behind him.
"No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no.. . . ."

Hermes shoots repulsors at the dragon that Arthur doesn't shoot.
Ambiguous hit and damage cause it's illusion but that's what he'd do so . . . .

Hermes may get a Will Save to disbelieve that illusion then, since shooting at it (sorta) counts as interacting with it.

why are you blatantly shooting that one?

As the door to the room is destroyed, Yrrin reappears a little to the side, and taking what Justice said to him to heart he walks into the room, an unarmored man striding confidantly into the room with Dragons facing the Champions...

taking a deep breath, Yrrin says loudly and confidantly "You may have destroyed this school once, but while I live you shall not be allowed to do so again, this is a place of learning, there are innocent people here."

Yrrin's aura flares

"I will protect those that cannot protect themselves! Therefore you are my enemy and I will defeat you."

Hermes doesn't know they're illusions, yet. Good call to not metagame there Tybs. :)

Vai's draconic eyes narrow in rage at the new Champion Aura present on the field. She calls down a bolt of lightning to strike the Paladin.

Free-action Bolt of Lightning (DC40 Reflex for half): 24d8 ⇒ (2, 3, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 3, 6, 5, 4, 3, 3, 7, 1, 4, 2, 5, 8, 3, 6, 2, 2, 4) = 112

"JUSTICE?!" the Great Wyrm bellows in a voice which shakes the school to it's very foundations. "WHERE WAS JUSTICE DURING ALL MY YEARS OF TORTURE?! WHERE WAS JUSTICE WHEN THIS SCHOOL ABANDONNED ME TO AEGYTHRAX'S CLUTCHES?!"

"I'll show you Justice. Justice is this: getting revenge on those who left me to rot in His keeping."

The illusory dragon unleashes his breath weapon at Yrrin as well.

Another DC40 Reflex Save for half: 24d8 ⇒ (7, 2, 6, 7, 5, 5, 3, 7, 7, 7, 5, 2, 7, 2, 3, 2, 3, 5, 3, 5, 3, 1, 5, 6) = 108

She glances around the room at the gathering Champions. She knew she couldn't win this fight - even gnats could bring down a powerful being such as She, if there were so many of them.

"You haven't seen the last of me." The Champion of Light, The Great Wyrm, retreats in a burst of light - the illusory double disappearing at the same time.

Attempts to scry her will show that she has retreated to a place off-planet.

tarka, watching from ouside, casts a cetian spell, and instead of taking damage, the palidin's wounds stich up.

HA! Vai just got caught by planetary wards that don't exist in her reality. She now can't remember anything about Agartha or anyone on it...since she's hostile and means to betray them to their enemies. ^.^

There's probably some way around that, but it should certainly take time since she doesn't remember what she doesn't remember....

::Poor, misguided creature. We did save her...::

"what the heck was that all about?" he gives hermes a quick once over to make sure he is not damaged.

Was I? What happened? Kinda lost-ish. . .

yayyy to late again....

Hold actions. Vai may choose to change her action depending. There's some confusion about when things did or did no happen.

2d20 ⇒ (18, 20) = 38
The paladin is hit hard by both but his expression is one of sorrow, "you poor creature...." he murmurs

Ace grabs Mel's hand, and teleports them to the lab Spending a MoI to cast Teleport, via Arcan Dilettante

Edit: Unless somebody stops him first

HA! Vai just got caught by planetary wards that don't exist in her reality. She now can't remember anything about Agartha or anyone on it...since she's hostile and means to betray them to their enemies. ^.^

There's probably some way around that, but it should certainly take time since she doesn't remember what she doesn't remember....

Spoke too soon...we are apparently doomed. >.<

Keme, I think I dislike your Patron almost as much as mine...almost.

I'm rather happy with mine. So far.

Don't get me started...

The Lady Justice is quite polite and businesslike so far

As if the recent surge of violence from the Dark-Vai, and her ranting and wrath weren't enough, the instant of her disappearing results in a surge, while the Light-Vai is still removed from local time, that none can see as it bursts out and spreads through the entire school and good mile or more radius past it.

Any and all electronically powered devices, short out, all computer systems that lack anti-EMP shielding, short out, and the sheer EMP wave that passes through most living beings with fleshy brain, feel a 'wash' of something spread through their heads.

Epic level EMP blast, effectively Sundering any electronic equipment. This essentially will shut / freeze anything that's powered by electricity down, freeze it up, etc. Like a normal world EMP blast, just augmented. We'll play on an honor system here, since I'm not aware enough of who is or isn't properly shielded-- but realize, it's as if someone set of an air-blast nuke, just for the EMP wave, centered on the school, and about a mile out. This 'should' short out (and or destroy) anything that uses circuitry and electricity. If the device / object has defense against electricity, and is 'attended' (i.e. being held) it should get the current owner's fortitude save to resist the effect to not be Sundered, or shut down temporarily (1d4 rounds). DC 40 Fortitude save per item, please. Remember, it's against circuitry and electricity based stuff. A magic wand or sword wouldn't be affected-- and Sundered just means it needs to be repaired by someone with the skill (Craft: Electronics or the like). Go go tech peeps.[/ooc]

Lights (non-magical) shut down, doors that use electricity to stay open freeze in place, etc. etc. This is only versus any doorway that uses power to open/close, which I'm fairly sure is many or much of the school.

More chaos ensues!

I'm fairly sure Carl in his 'ship' with the shields is immune to this, but-- his choice to RP whether it works or not. Repairing things might be fun, no? Just ask David.

With the sheer number of interfaces she was connected to at the time the blast went off, Aananda is knocked unconscious.

what is the save DC? and somebody really wants to get rid of Mel and is it a save for each device or one save for all. also mel's guitar is destroyed since it was unattended.

EDIT: if her sonic screwdriver ends up destroyed there is not sufficient tech here to replace that

fort save sonic screwdriver: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36
fort save datapad : 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34

Well, when she return I will try to help her...

"Could someone assist me in discovering the culprits that demolished the infirmary? help me find the guards on duty at the time perhaps?" Yrrin asks

The SIM room goes dark and once they get some light source going, the occupants will find themselves in a large square room, lined on all sides with white tiles. The door is stuck shut.

Vai's draconic eyes narrow in rage at the new Champion Aura present on the field. She calls down a bolt of lightning to strike the Paladin.

Free-action Bolt of Lightning (DC40 Reflex for half): 24d8

"JUSTICE?!" the Great Wyrm bellows in a voice which shakes the school to it's very foundations. "WHERE WAS JUSTICE DURING ALL MY YEARS OF TORTURE?! WHERE WAS JUSTICE WHEN THIS SCHOOL ABANDONNED ME TO AEGYTHRAX'S CLUTCHES?!"

"I'll show you Justice. Justice is this: getting revenge on those who left me to rot in His keeping."

The illusory dragon unleashes his breath weapon at Yrrin as well.

Another DC40 Reflex Save for half: 24d8

She glances around the room at the gathering Champions. She knew she couldn't win this fight - even gnats could bring down a powerful being such as She, if there were so many of them.

"You haven't seen the last of me." The Champion of Light, The Great Wyrm, retreats in a burst of light - the illusory double disappearing at the same time.

Attempts to scry her will show that she has retreated to a place off-planet.

Fei finally manages to locate Ephebe's 'signature' and teleports into the laboratory. He only sees this much older version of Vai for a moment as she screams at the assembled people in the room and then disappears.

Still not entirely sure of what is going on, the young monk tries to focus in and locate this Vai's 'signature' to see if he can pursue her.

(To any others present, Fei steps into the spot just vacated by the wyrm, then closes his eyes and appears to be concentrating deeply.)

Random Fortitude Save for Neural Lace: 1d20 + 34 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 34 + 5 = 58 (I believe it is EMP-hardened, but that roll guarantees its functionality regardless.)

As the unusual wave of...something...washes over him, Fei's concentration is momentarily lost. He tries again to find her.

Prior Post Edited for info.. please re-read EMP pose above.

Yayy an un-achievable save for a device that cannot be repaired except by another timelord

congrats Mel is effectively neutralized for good. all she got left is her music (but will need a new guitar first)

also wonder now about the timeloop anomoly that mel was keeping from expanding in her datapad?

"awe crap" his armor arcs with electrical energies I'm probably lightly shielded but even if I get knocked out he can fix himself, though if I roll a one I'm unconcious1d20 + 12 + 3 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 3 + 10 = 37and he falls out of the air but is able to get up as his systems reboot
he goes over to Hermes and says "Hermes, Hermes wake up," he shoves his nanites into the systems waking him up as well
"it just keeps getting better and better"
don't worry mel, I could give it a shot.

Ephebe might be able to repair it.

I might be able to fix it,
