So I'm west, Bruno north, Jezebel east I assume? We probably should have put up some walls/columns to avoid charge-splatting, but I guess it's all in good fun, right? ;-)
Arian lopes in, surveying his opponents.
Four on one he growls, Sounds fair to me. . He spits in indifference to the crowd, then smiles wickedly, eyeing the dwarf and yelling over the din.
Hey Bruno! Magic's no fun! Whaddya say we smash the mage, then you and me have a go of it while your camel eats her? Camels eat meat?
Init is 10. Crap.
Warlords of Choon |
Bruno has eyes locked on Jezebel. So does Esmeralda. He hears an offer to splatter the summoner and immidiately replies, Aye, and gladly! Camels done eat meat, no, but Esmeralda's special, she is. I think she's acquired a taste. Haha!
Init: 10. Oh nutz. The summoner goes first.

Surprise Round
Jezebel looks at the two in mock surprise, You two are going to gang up on little old me? She smiles wickedly before saying Sounds like fun. Quickly looking at the scroll in her hand, she says a few words before disappearing. Meanwhile, the weird looking Eidolon crouches on his hind legs looking wary.
You boys are up! Good luck and here's to a good battle!
Champion of mbauers |
I thought I would be red, Jezebel would be blue, and Bruno would be green, but we can do those, Sleet. It doesn't really matter. Note that I screwed up and should have had an 11, since I bought an ioun stone at level 4. Shouldn't matter since I have a higher init bonus anyway, so I'll go now.
Grr, like I said, gods damned casters. Let's kill all her pets first. She has to show herself sometime.
With that the half elf flicks his wrist, producing a potion and downing it, growing to tremendous size and stepping towards the eidolon.
I'm at E/F-9/10. I didn't mean to see your move in advance, but the spoiler tag was broken. It doesn't change my move, but in the interest of brevity I thought I would just post this now. If/when the eidolon moves through my threatened area I will trip attempt it with my AoO (reach) and hit a 26 CMD.
Smug Arbiter |
You can't ready an action to charge ,only standard or move actions.
You can charge as a standard action only when you are not allowed to take full round actions like in the surprise round but charging in general is still a full round action. Also if you ready an action that uses up Trick's surprise round action so he(or she) would be back to normal for anything after. Sorry.

Round 1
The eidolon charges Bruno and pounces on him, biting and slashing with it's claws.

All of a sudden a flock of four evil looking eagles appear and all move to attack Bruno, swarming around him.

Arian shrugs and, seeing that he has no foes to face in the immediate future, chugs another potion.
No visible effects, 5 ft step to F/G-10/11.
Since this is an exhibition, can I go over my consumable limit with no penalties?

Bruno at 17/36
AoO: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

E attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

The charge doesn't get an AoO, but appearing when summoned does. I think Esmeralda gets an AoO too, but correct me if I'm wrong
Bruno's seen this before. Both he and Esmeralda lash out at the eagles before laying into the invisi-pest's minion, but take some damage for their efforts.

Bruno and Esmeralda continue to fight bravely, but Bruno is dying a death by thousand cuts. Esmeralda is being very flustered and aggravated by the birds. She refuses Bruno's urging's to attack.
That perception DC is impossible for me.

You cannot summon the earth elemental underground.
"A creature or object brought into being or transported to your location by a conjuration spell cannot appear inside another creature or object, nor can it appear floating in an empty space. It must arrive in an open location on a surface capable of supporting it."
Jezebel Quick |
Added descriptor from above, all other actions the same.
A creature that looks like a small bear made entirely out of earth and stone with two gemstones for eyes appears briefly before sinking below the earth.
Smug Arbiter |
It's just a purposely added limitation of the spell.
Summon Monster and Summon Nature's Ally must place the creature on a surface. You can't summon things into the air, even if they fly.
Thats also true for earthglide and swim.Swimming creatures can be summoned on the surface of water but not underwater.
Jezebel Quick |
Smug Arbiter |
All summon spells fall under the general rules for conjuration.
RAW is absolutely unambigous here.To quote again:" It must arrive in an open location on a surface capable of supporting it."
It must be on a surface, that rules out the air completely because the air has no surface. Underground is out too,if you are borrowing your clearly not on the surface.
Water has a surface and this surface can support creatures with a swim speed.
Sorry to rain on your parade like that but RAW(and I think RAI) is pretty clear abut that.We could bring the others in on that question if you want.
Jezebel Quick |
I didn't go again, that was an addendum to my above actions because Sleet pointed out, correctly, that I cannot summon directly into the ground. However there is a debate now where he is saying that creatures must be summoned on the ground...period...regardless of if they are swimming or flying creatures. For instance I couldn't summon an air elemental in the air, I would have to summon it on the ground and then it would fly in the air or I would have to summon a water elemental on the surface of the water (which still doesn't make sense since the surface of the water by his definition wouldn't be a stable surface) and then have the water elemental swim down to wherever it was going. He is interpreting the line "Creatures cannot be summoned into an environment that does not support them" to mean physically supporting and not environmentally supporting like an aquatic creature in water or a flying creature in the air.
Smug Arbiter |
Nope I'm not interpreting that line. The quote I gave says surface.Its not about environmental support It must be able to stand and its weight has to be supported by the surface.
A surface is the outer topmost boundary of an object so the air has no surface.Underground and underwater are not surfaces.
Jezebel Quick |
Nowhere does it say anything about weight. Not even the definition of surface mentions weight. For instance could I summon a flying creature on the surface of a cloud? By your definition of surface that would apply. As it is the outermost layer of an object or body. or for instance the surface of an underwater pocket of warm water? again that would apply.
Jezebel Quick |
Champion of mbauers |
It does not say weight because it says" a surface capable of supporting it", a surface can only support weight.It's a surface, it can't support the needs of your respiratory system or anything if its that what you mean.
But we can let the others wheigh in.
I understand that interpretation in terms of RAW, but I disagree as far as RAI. I believe it was intended for the purpose that Jezebel was talking about--meaning, no summoning a whale in the air or on land (to block a door or something). It seems reasonable to me to allow flying creatures to be summoned in the air. What squares are Bruno and Esmeralda in? I'll try to get my turn up soon.

Sorry for the delay
Round 2
Arian steps up, drawing a sickle and chain and whipping it around with malicious intent at one of the summoned birds.
Move to I/J-15/16. Attack L-19 bird--hits 26 AC for 17 damage.
Jezebel Quick |
That definitely drops him Arian.
Jezebel's voice again rings out over the field in a strange language. Vatock reckshek bok, lok tek retock!
You again see a creature, this time looking something like a small cougar with eyes of opals, sink into the ground.

Yep all of them are now kaput! Nice shots.
You hear Jasmine's voice ring out again and another rocky looking creature appears before sinking into the ground.
Elemental appears in M10 before sinking into the ground.
You all are up.
Jezebel Quick |
If you guys are doing the same thing then do you want to fast forward a bit? Jezebel is going to be summoning for the next few rounds at least.
Jezebel's voice rings out over the battlefield again and another rocky creature appears before sliding into the ground.
Jezebel Quick |
Ok sounds good. This is all assuming Arian is in square HI14-15 which is where I thought he was based upon the descriptions above having been in IJ15-16 and then moving a 5' step up and to the left.
For the next few seconds, four more creatures continue to appear and sink beneath the surface. Vrak lock temock theock leshka meck.

For four rounds, earth elementals appear and disappear into the earth. On the fifth round nothing happens. In the sixth round the earth elementals step up out of the ground surrounding Arian and attack. Four of them attacking much faster than they should be able to after you hear Jezebel's voice cast a spell from much closer to Arian right as they appear.
For several seconds, creatures keep appearing and disappearing into the earth. You count a total of eight creatures over the course of the fight. A voice calls out Vlack mock! All of a sudden the creatures burst from the ground surrounding Arian and begin a frenzied pounding of rocky limbs as Jezebel's voice rings out with chanting near the ceiling above Arian, several of the creatures attacks becoming much faster.
