Monks vs. the World

[proftobe]

So how are the other monks doing against the lich? If I remember Bruno basically had a coin flip chance at winning. How about we see how dabble and the other fighter and monk do.

For fun, let's have a L10 Grippli Flowing-Qiggong Monk. After 20pt stat buy, level 4 & 8 stat boosts and WIS/DEX items, her WIS is 24 and DEX is 18. After Mage Armor and Barkskin (self), Blessing of Fervor & Prot Evil (Kyra) & Haste (Ezren) he's at 37 AC and 29 Touch.

Pre-Combats: While buffing, Slippli the Grippli Monk looks right at Ezren and Kyra. "Right on me. Don't worry." She reaches up and pats Valeros on the arm. "Just like we practiced." Valeros takes a deep breath and opens the door...

Round 1:
LOEL drops a flamestrike. Slippli, with +15 REF, most likely takes no damage.

Slippli slips into Crane Style. She hops into the middle of the room and, fighting defensively, swipes at a mook.

Valeros curses under his breath. "This is madness." He closes the door.

Slippli the Grippli is all alone with 55 HD of mooks and a lich.

The mooks, hungry for living flesh, collapse in on Slippli. They totally surround her...which, as a flowing monk, only boosts her AC into the high 40s. They miss their attacks. Slippli uses Crane Wing to stop any nat 20 outlier that may come out.

Round 2:
LOEL casts Slay Living. Slippli fails her save (only +10 Fort).

Valeros opens the door then readies an action to close the door. Ezren drops a fireball on the clustered enemies, followed by Kyra's flamestrike. Again, Slippli's high REF and improved evasion means she'll very likely take no damage. Valeros closes the door.

Slippli spends a pair of Ki Points to activate the Qiggong-granted Whirlwind attack. She then trips all the mooks around her. She looks up at the lich and gives a chuckling croak.

The handful of mooks left attack Slippli (and miss).

Round 3:
LOEL casts Unholy Blight. As it is a WILL save, Slippli will very likely make her save.

Valeros opens the door and moves into the Throne Room. Ezren tosses a lightning bolt to wipe out some mooks and Kyra moves to channel and finish off the others.

The rest is a 4-on-1 fight with the lich.
