Goblin Gus and Sleet storm have the feeling of being thrown up incredibly fast through the light. wind rushing around you but it is quiet. As if the sound is very far off, but getting closer as you race toward it.
Then suddenly there is a floor green marble floor inlaid with a lattice of golden metal and you land on it hard enough to stumble. You are alone in a 20' circular room. Looking around you see that you are in a tower. The windows are covered in a golden looking latticework that gives off a soft light that illuminates the room and a single staircase leading up out of the room.
Beyond the window you see smoke raising from something massive and terrifying that is clinging to the side of a tower and spreading along the walls of the various towers. Far below it you can hear the chants and war cries of warriors fighting. The tower is part of what looks like a massive fortress raising into clouds of smoke the fill the sky. Below you see massive shapes forming and raising along the side of the towers.
Looking up you see the ceilings are all woven metal latticework. It only hold shards of glass the rest of it is covering the floor.
What do you do?
I take my action (actions sent)
((OOC once we can see each other, I'll most likely just post actions.)
Hastur slams on the floor and gasps in pain as he gets up,luckily he doesn´t seem to be injured. Aaargh... what a great start for this,looking out of the winow at the gigantic thing hanging at the side of the tower makes him shudder.What the hell...this does not look good, I better prepare myself
I take my rod of extend in my hand and use it to cast Displacement,then I cast Mirror Image without using the rod and move up the stairs.
How many rounds does it take us from the tower to the battlefield ? My movement speed is fly 40ft.
whoops. here it goes
Initiative
"What is this place?" Hustar looks around the big hall but can´t see anyone. Hmmm...lets get a better view
I stay in V6 and fly straight upwards to 20ft height.
Thinks 'Hmm, maybe I'll find something here with a hide I can Tan.'
Whispers "Stay back here bonny bat."
Stealthily Moves 15 ft to the tree at D7
Stealth roll
Still can´t see anything I move to U11 and then go higher to 25ft.
the map does not record your position. use it to figure out your locations. then write where you are moving to here in this thread
Alone except of the breaking glass and faint sounds of battle down in the darkness. It takes you a few minutes to reach the top.
The heralds voice echos. "To advance you must defeat your opponent. Only blood will open the gate."
His voice fades with the sound of a chuckle.
Both of you emerge from the archway and see a round room over 100 feet across. the ceiling is a lattice of golden metal 30 feet above you held up by pillars of marble. The flickering of the setting sun bathes the room in long shadows behind the pillars. The entire ceiling seems to have held glass but it is now covering the floor. Trees, 10 foot tall, grow in the scattered bits of earth that cover parts of the floor. In the center of the room is a pool of water with a statue of a woman that is 15' high. they remind you of a fountain although no water is coming out of the statue.
Across from both of you is another archway with a gate. The gate is closed but you can see it leads to another staircase going up.
To your side is another archway but the pillars and trees obscure your view of it. You can't see anyone from this position.
It starts with Permanent and ends with Arcane Sight:)
EDIT and I forgot to roll for Mirror Image
You can see the aura of the spells and know thier location, you still can't see me (but you know what square I am in). If the GM rules it differently I won't argue his ruling.
However, you didn't pay the correct price on arcane sight. You have it listed as 8375.
The scroll (which I assumed you bought and used with UMD) cost 1,125. the spell made permenant cost 7,500. 7,500 + 1,125 = 8,625. I would say you don't have permenant Arcane sight.
Thats a difference of 250gp I have 385 left so yeah I have Arcane Sight I will edit it shortly
EDIT: edited:)
That is correct,no GM ruling needed
You still have to take your turn
BTW that drops my AC by two
Perception if I have seen your movement :
EDIT wait I have seen your aura so I´ve seen it move out of sight witch means you can disregard the perception check.
Hustar snickers as it seems he found his first victimHe he he he... what a fool... thinks he can hide from me.
I stay at U11 and skip my turn
6 I rolled 10 posts ago
ok will post action shortly.
Creeps up, hiding behind the statue (double move, 1/2 speed each move)
Stealth
Thinks '7 flying foxes. this will be a good payday'
Edit: ending square = K10
Ah, there you are, I had enough of your childish games now show yourself wretched cur
I cast Glitterdust centered on the statue. Thats a -40 penalty to your stealth for the next 11 rounds and you have to make a DC20 Willsave or be blinded.
I stay in place where I am
will save
Made it
Hmm a triky fox!
Gus clicks his heels to activate boots of speed as a free action (+1 ac, +1 reflex save, +1 to attack. Then he shoots using deadly aim
Full attack vs touch ac
(1-2 misses and causes attack to stop) if hits
(alchemical: 1-3 misses and causes attack to stop) if hits
(alchemical: 1-3 misses and causes attack to stop)if hits
vs mirror image if 1 hits target
(I'll roll the other two when I see this roll so I know if I've taken away an image or hit you and still have 7 targets)
edit: shot 2 vs mirror image 1=target
Edit 2: shot 3 1 = target
end turn, 3 images and you left.
Hah,who would have thoght....a goblin,I killed hundreds of your kin ,thinks to himself but this boomstick he is wielding is dangerous, I have to take him out soon.
I fly to N11 and cast Persitent Hold Person DC31 have fun:)
Perception if I have seen your movement :
d20+14
EDIT wait I have seen your aura so I´ve seen it move out of sight witch means you can disregard the perception check.
Obstacles block both way. the cover goes to the person next to the object but flying above the tree hides you from view as much as it would have hidden gus from view if you didn't have arcane sight.
Will save vs DC 31 hold person
strong willed
Edit: Ooh bad rolls. I am held for this round. Does that end it?
In case it doesn't end the fight, on my turn I get another save as a full round action. Here it is.
Still held and if it's not over, it's your turn.
I move to K9 and draw my Scythe, and since you already rolled your save for the next round I make a Coup de GraceI love killing goblins
Coup de Grace: damage and the damage+10 as a fort save DC or die you know the drill.
So thats a DC25 Fort save or die ( damn thats low I knew I should have gotten that flaming burst Scythe)
I would say we leave it at that for today.
I submitt. Great fight!
Agreed ,keep your head up little man:)
Gus feels the blade bite into his neck as Hustar takes his life. For a moment there is intense pain then a suffocating feeling of being trapped. Locked in your corpse. But then there is a burning sensation from your hand. The hand that touched the rune.
Hustar stands over the slain goblin his blood on his blade when the rune raises from Gus' body. A glow spreads across the body and lifts it into the air. With a clap of thunder the body and rune disappear from sight.
The rushing returns along with the pain as the rune seems to reknit your body and return it to life. With a sudden stop you land on the rocky ground of the cliffs from which it all started. You have returned. With a blast of wind your bat lands next to you. chirping and licking you. happy to see you.
It is morning and the sea is calm.
The herald is gone but his crystal obelisk remains though dull and lifeless. You survive to fight another day...
Hustar blinks away the light and looks around. The closed gate beckons. He remembers the Heralds words. That blood is the key. His blade covered in the goblins blood is now the key to the next tower.
