CMD saves made so far: Omar, Dragox, and Gauthier.

Rey and Sargon appear to be grappled unless you have some method to prevent that from happening.

Rey is definitely grappled. She'll have to attempt an grapple break on her turn in the initiative.

Everyone make sure you update your HP status. everyone should be fine for now.

Lol, that's a scary post right there.

Dragox will try to move out of the range of the tentacles, but wants to wait for Omar's advice on which way to move.

Would Emergency Force Sphere protect me. If not I am grappled

I'm going to rule no it doesn't help in this situation. emergency force shield would help if the tentacles were coming from the ceiling or walls but it wouldn't necessarily help with tentacles coming up from the 5 ft area you are located in.

No problem

Sargon casts Liberating Command in the hopes of avoiding the nasty tentacles.

Most of you are up!

Omar will move to d,-9 to get out of the tentacles. He still does not see a threat.

Dragox moves to F 10, also looking to escape the writing tentacles.

Sargon will move to F-11 and cast Liberating Command on Rey

RD 1:

Initiative Order:

Sargon - moves to F:11 and casts liberating command on Rey
Gauthier - moves and perceives
Dragox - moves to F:10
Rey
Baddie
Omar- moves to D:9

The old man swears he hears a few joints creak as he moves to C: -12 to gain a center position (MA). "Damn cusre'd bones." He then uses his standard action to try to locate the foe.

perception: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (9) + 34 = 43

"Omar down the long hall 'bout twenty feet or so. Looks like there are 3 of 'em blending into the pillars!" Roughly C:=5

spellcraft: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
"'er he's like us, mirrored."

Updated Map
*I didn't put the foe on the board yet since only Gauthier sees him.

Dragox has a standard action remaining and Rey has her entire action remaining before the foe goes.

Dragox will move another 20' down the long hallway in the suggested direction.

"Omar down the long hall 'bout twenty feet or so. Looks like there are 3 of 'em blending into the pillars!"

Keep them in sight Gauth

Can Rey drink a potion as her standard action? Or does she need to retrieve it first? That would be a move action that invokes an AoO? I'm thinking she'd reach for her potion of gaseous form to prevent any further damage by these tentacles.

Pulling out the potion is MA, drinking a potion is std action. drinking a potion does draw an AOO. the Table Actions in Combat shows what provokes an AOO.

I'll wait for Rey to take her action before I take the Baddie's action.

Rey struggles against the tentacle and reaches for her potion of gaseous form.

RD 1:

Black tentacles on Rey,

CMB, str, size, grappled bonus: 1d20 + 12 + 4 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 12 + 4 + 1 + 4 = 37
vs CMD

damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

I'll take the Baddie's action in a few minutes.

A black ray springs forth from form on a pillar down the hall. It smash into Gauthier.

Gauthier fort save: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
DC 22

The cleric starts to stiffen and then turn grayish white.

Anyone who has spellcraft can make a check if they want.

Updated Map RD 1

Dragox moves forward, using Vital Strike on the enemy in yellow. At least I think it's an enemy.

Attack 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (6) + 26 = 32, or 34 versus evil outsiders.

Damage 4d6 + 16 ⇒ (3, 2, 2, 2) + 16 = 25 plus
2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8 versus evil creatures, plus
2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6 versus evil outsiders.

Dragnox you do see three of him.

Roll a d3: 1 = real, 2 or 3 = mirrored image

Dragox you need to roll a d3 to see which image you struck.

RD 2 Map

Sargon moves over to D-9 What is it?

Sargon when you move up and look at the three large creatures, they are tinted with hues of yellow, and they have venom-dripping from fangs which fill their human-like mouths. You understand that the creature is mirrored but you are not certain which one is the real one and which ones are the illusion.

Knowledge: dungeoneering

---
dragox % dice: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Dragox moves up and past Sargon and smashes down at the creature, but his attack only makes on of the illusions disappear.

Updated RD 2 Map

RD 2: update

Initiative Order:

Sargon - moves
Gauthier - stone
Dragox - moves and attacks and destroys an image.
Rey
Baddie
Omar

Real or fake 1d3 ⇒ 1

Omar will shoot at the figure(s)

deadly aim, rapid shot, manyshot, clustered shot
to hit: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23 damage: 2d8 + 30 ⇒ (5, 8) + 30 = 43 1d2 ⇒ 2 pop
to hit: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (13) + 20 = 33 damage: 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18
to hit: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34 damage: 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21
to hit: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20 damage: 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20

Rey hastily drinks her potion of gaseous form, in order to escape the grip of the black tentacles. She then floats toward to C -14 Gauthier trying to discern what is affecting him.

Spellcraft Check: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31

Realizing Gauthier is about to be turned completely to stone she hollers at Sargon. Oy! Sargon! Gauthier's been hit with a flesh to stone spell, and I can't cast spells while this gaseous form lasts. Help!!!

Gaseous form doesn't allow the casting of spells, but it doesn't explicitly say the person cannot verbally communicate. If it's ruled Rey can't talk, just drop off her warning to Sargon, and all the rest stays the same.

Sargon Casts Dazing Aqueous Orb(Ref 27) behind the three images and rolls it onto them.

Using Metamagic Mastery so as not to increase the casting time

Non Lethal: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8

Dragox I rolled the d3 for you this morning, so I could move the round forward.

Thats fine, DM. I missed that in your post.

reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Sargon casts his spell.

Rey yells just before she turn to gas form.
I don't think you can speak while in gas form, sinc eyou don't ahve a physical body.

Sargon your link was to an Aqueous Orb, I didn't see Dazing Aqueous Orb.

Dazing is a metamagic feat.

Dazing is a metamagic feat.

Thanks I see that now.

RD 2: Baddie

He is dazed and does not take an action.

Omar fires his arrows but they each missed the creature engulfed by the orb of water.

Aquatic terrain will provide at least improved cover +8.

RD 3:

Initiative Order:

Sargon -
Gauthier - stone
Dragox -
Rey
Baddie
Omar

I'll get a map up later. Dragox and Rey take your actions.

Dragox swings three times in rapid succession at the enemy.

All attacks have extra +2 to hit versus evil outsiders, not included below.

Attack 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (20) + 26 = 46
Damage 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (4, 1) + 16 = 21 plus
2d6 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4 if evil plus
2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7 against evil outsiders.

Attack 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (16) + 21 = 37
Damage 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (2, 5) + 16 = 23 plus
2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7 versus evil plus
2d6 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4 versus evil outsiders.

Attack 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31
Damage 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (3, 2) + 16 = 21 plus
2d6 ⇒ (4, 6) = 10 versus evil plus
2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7 versus evil outsiders.

Possible crit on first attack 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (7) + 26 = 33
Damage 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (2, 4) + 16 = 22

For his next turn

Sargon will cast Hungry Pit and roll the orb into it. If they happen to survive Dragox's assault.

Fall: 7d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 6, 2, 5, 6, 4) = 26
Chomp: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 5, 3) = 16

There is only one creature remaining when Dragox hacks away. The watery orb made the images disappear. This is not an evil outsider, although it is evil. Dragox's first attack hits. Unless you have freedom of movement in effect the other attacks and confirmation will miss.

what type of weapon are you using (Greatsword?): bludgeoning, piercing or slashing.

Using my magical great sword. I don't think I had Freedom of Movement cast on me.

Being in gaseous, form Rey hovers in the room, watching the proceedings helplessly until her potion wears off.

Sargon casts his spell and pit opens...

reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

I haven't seen this combination of spells before: dazing aqueous org, then hungry pit. I know the foe is dazed and unable to take an action but I think he is still entitled to the reflex save. Anyone know the answer or have the citation handy?

RD 3: update

Initiative Order:

Sargon - opens hungry pit
Gauthier - stone
Dragox - attacks hits once
Rey -gas form
Baddie - can't act RD 2 of 3
Omar -

Omar you are up.

Yes, he still gets the save. Dazed doesn't make you defenseless.

Now I need to see if the target is in the pit as that defines what I do.

Yes, he still gets the save. Dazed doesn't make you defenseless.

Now I need to see if the target is in the pit as that defines what I do.

Since he made the initial reflex save I don't think he falls into the pit.

The watery orb hangs up at the pit opening and the foe floats around in that suspended state.

Omar does ranger focus on the obscured target and tries again to shoot him.

to hit: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (7) + 26 = 33 damage: 2d8 + 42 ⇒ (5, 3) + 42 = 50 acid: 1d6 ⇒ 1
to hit: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (7) + 26 = 33 damage: 1d8 + 21 ⇒ (6) + 21 = 27 acid: 1d6 ⇒ 2
to hit: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (11) + 21 = 32 damage: 1d8 + 21 ⇒ (8) + 21 = 29 acid: 1d6 ⇒ 4
to hit: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23 damage: 1d8 + 21 ⇒ (1) + 21 = 22 acid: 1d6 ⇒ 2

I should note that since I have improved precise shot, I ignore any cover short of total.

I've been giving him +8 AC for being in water. Although he is submerged, I have not been giving him total cover since he's in a ball of water.

Three of the Omar's arrows hit but it looks alive.
