You guys want to fight? Let's gank Amman, then!

We gotta be pretty close to one another if we all just crossed the portal... Auron uses Dimension Door to bring the whole party next to Amman! :D

Spur mount nonlethal: 1d3 ⇒ 1 Puts us at 140 ft., which is just enough for Erd's reach to hit, I think.

Erd kicks Bili into motion, digging in her heels and roaring at Amman. Her beast thunders towards the man as Erd leans forward to slash at his neck with her longsword.

Question: Can I have Bili charge without Erd charging with her? If not, they'll instead both charge a vanilla ceustodaemon. (Dimension door is great but Erd gets pretty useless with just a full attack.)

Erd's longsword vs. Amman (challenge, elevation): 1d20 + 23 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 23 + 3 + 1 = 28 Damage (sandstorm (charging mount), challenge, order of the sword): 6d6 + 33 + 39 + 24 ⇒ (5, 4, 6, 3, 5, 5) + 33 + 39 + 24 = 124 1/3 challenges left.
Bili's bite (charge, banner): 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 14 + 2 + 1 = 37 Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 Confirmation (charge, banner): 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 14 + 2 + 1 = 33 Extra damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Hah! Well even more useless with a charge apparently. Though Bili's at least on the ball.

Erd attack is stoped by Amman Sword (She would have hitted ihs FF AC with a 2). Bili attack on the other hand is more effective (21 of damge for Amman).

One regular Ceustodaemon move toward Amman and cast a SLA on him.

Other five move to be at 30 ft of Erd and spit a line of fire (Save for half, 5 diferent saves for ERD and Bili)
Ref DC 17: 6d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 1, 3, 5, 2) = 13
Ref DC 17: 6d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 2, 5, 1, 6) = 22
Ref DC 17: 6d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 6, 5, 3, 4) = 20
Ref DC 17: 6d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 4, 4, 2, 2) = 18
Ref DC 17: 6d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 6, 2, 5, 4) = 25
Ref DC 17: 6d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 6, 6, 4) = 24

====================

THe otehr six fly toward the rest of hte party and cast SLA (HOld monster DC 17, two times each of you).

Aurons turn.

Do all custo-daemon act at the same time? And how many are there?

Will: 2d20 ⇒ (18, 11) = 29 I only fail on a Nat 1.

Auron invokes the power of Oghma and blesses his friends. (Blessing of Fervor on everyone)

Cast on the Defensive: (DC = 15+8 = 23): 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (3) + 21 = 24

If that fails, I use my reroll from Luck Domain. 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (14) + 21 = 35

"He is surrounded by 3 armored Ceustodaemons. One of those use a Tower shield and noting in his other hand. The other two have longspears. There are other 12 non-armored ceutos scattered over the place."

The tower shield ceusto do nothing for now. Garren turn.

My worst save!
I'm disregarding the 6th roll there:
Erd's Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
Erd's Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
Erd's Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
Erd's Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
Erd's Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
Bili's Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Bili's Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Bili's Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Bili's Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Bili's Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Erd's at 90/138. With evasion, Bili's at 102/122.

BTW, if for some reason Sun Xiao and Garren can't flank with each other even after one or both take a 5ft step, I use a 5ft ste to allow at lest one of them to flank (preferably Garren, as he ahs Sneak Attack. :P)

lemmy, Perhaps ther eis a misunderstanding (yes, I promiso not to desing more 3D battles). At least Amman is at the other side of the sphere 50 ft away (or more if you can not fly)

Good rolls Gark, Erd avoided a lot of damage

lemmy, Perhaps ther eis a misunderstanding (yes, I promiso not to desing more 3D battles). At least Amman is at the other side of the sphere 50 ft away (or more if you can not fly)

Which is why I used DD to take everyone there.

As a standard action the Shielded Daemon cast dimension door on itself and Anmman teleporting they both to new positions.

Now, garrent turn.

Just to point out htat the ceustos with the longspears threaten at 15 ft and 20 ft

Will Saves: 2d20 ⇒ (19, 13) = 32
Only fail on a 1

Garren withdraws through the Ceustodaemons and is enshrouded by shadows. He moves directly for Amman, seeking to attempt to disrupt some spellcasting.

Taking 10 on Stealth for a 53.

GArren moves without problems. The two armored cesutos with spears move to stay outside your reach and then they deliver a cone of electricity agaisnt Sun, Auron and Erd.

Breath weapon A (DC 19 for half): 6d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 1, 1, 4, 4) = 22 (this one for all you three an dbili)

Breath weapon B (DC 19 for half): 6d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 3, 2, 1, 6) = 24 (this one just for Sun and Auron)

Sun turn

Need a 7 to pass. Reflex: 2d20 ⇒ (8, 14) = 22

That's 23 damage to Auron in 2 breath weapons. -10 from his Energy Resistance (Energy Resistance 5 x2), he takes 13 damage total.

Erd's Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 Bili's Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12 68/138 80/122

Forgot to say, our ACs are down a couple points from the charge. These daemons seem to be doing pretty well just blasting us though.
OH and Erd's AC vs. everyone but Amman's attacks is down another 2 points.

Reflex: 2d20 ⇒ (3, 10) = 13

Schweet.

Sun shrugs off the majority of the lightning and charges to the spear Ceustodaemon standing between him and Amman, and punches him several times in the solar plexus.

1d20 + 20 ⇒ (1) + 20 = 21
Damage: 2d8 + 34 ⇒ (8, 4) + 34 = 46
1d20 + 20 ⇒ (6) + 20 = 26
Damage: 2d8 + 30 ⇒ (5, 3) + 30 = 38
1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21
Damage: 2d8 + 30 ⇒ (2, 8) + 30 = 40
1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32
Damage: 2d8 + 30 ⇒ (3, 5) + 30 = 38
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
Damage: 2d8 + 30 ⇒ (4, 5) + 30 = 39

Confirm: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
Damage: 2d8 + 30 ⇒ (6, 6) + 30 = 42

"Out of my way."

DR only apples once.

AoO Vs Sun: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 321d10 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Miss chance : 1d100 ⇒ 831d100 ⇒ 66

THe CEusto react quick enough to pierce Sun defenses before the Human could reach him (17 dmg unless snake style). Sun can strike directly into the Daemon chest but he feels the armor absorbed a lot of the damage, the Spear daemon seems hurt but it is still alive.

Is that a Charge or just running fast and attacking, Rynjin? If it is the former you get +1 to-hit from the cavalier banner.

A Charge.

Is that a Charge or just running fast and attacking, Rynjin? If it is the former you get +1 to-hit from the cavalier banner.

THat would kill the daemon btw. The power of +1s!

Great!

Your death will be bloody and painful.[/b]

Amman: Whatever you think you know about death is nothing!

Shout Amman. He seems to enter a trance, his Eyes becomes totally white and his body start emanating a moderate arcane power creating several images of himself (mirror image)

Number of mirror images: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

He then start casting provoking from Garren, so, lets see that AoO first.

I actually forgot to add the +2 to-hit from Charge. Whoops.

Garren's eyes betray him as Amman's images play havoc with his senses.

Tch, I'm a riskier gambler than he takes me for!

Shutting his eyes and relying on pure luck instead, Garren thrusts his Rapier wildly!

Rapier AoO!: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20Damage: 1d4 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Total Concealment Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 86

Immediately regrets his decision

Immediately regrets his decision

Doesn't the AoO happen before he casts the spell?

The mirror image thing was not the spell.

Unable to distinghush is target Garren's rapier misses (Btw, it is not totall concealement but Mirror image, AKA, there are 7 images, roll a 1d7 and if you roll 1 then youhit the correct one, otherwise you would dispel an image).

Amman is able to continue his casting

=========

Erd Crushes the skull of the last spear Ceusto, killing it.

================
Three Ceustos DD just in fron of the Tower shield Ceusto.

Other two rushes to attack Garren

The other 7 cast spells. 5 Slow (DC 15) for Erd, Sun, Erd and Bili (hey, sooner or later you roll a 1), and two hold monster for Bili.

there are 8 Ceustos on the map. The other 4 are flying just above you at 30 ft altitude, in case you want to attack them or something

Auron turn.

He closed his eyes. If you're not distracted by the images, you can just listen for your opponent's movement and take the 50% chance (according to paizo discussions). I'm not sure you'd still get to take an AOO after closing them, though.

I see, I missed it. I've always liked that trick, I also think that shutting one eyes should last until the next turn, but well, whatever. I edited my last post, is now Auron turn

Erd's Will vs. slow (mistrust of magic): 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 12 + 2 = 25 Erd's Will vs. slow (mistrust of magic): 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 2 = 22 Erd's Will vs. slow (mistrust of magic): 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 12 + 2 = 27 Erd's Will vs. slow (mistrust of magic): 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 2 = 22 Erd's Will vs. slow (mistrust of magic): 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 12 + 2 = 28
Bili's Will vs. slow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 Bili's Will vs. slow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 Bili's Will vs. slow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 Bili's Will vs. slow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 Bili's Will vs. slow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Bili's Will vs. hold monster: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Bili's Will vs. hold monster: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

I don't see why closed eyes should last 'til the next round. IMHO, that doesn't make sense neither for realism nor for game balance.

Concentration (DC 23): 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (3) + 21 = 24

Auron casts Blessing of Fervor on his friends and himself.

THe tower ceusto Do nothing for now. Nobody have spellcraft?.

Garren turn.

After Garren nimbly evades the two demon's barrages attacks, he lashes out with his rapier twice before stepping into the shadows once more.

Rapier Strike 1: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19
Rapier Strike 2: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

Damage 1: 1d4 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Damage 2: 1d4 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Miss Chance 1: 1d7 ⇒ 4
Miss Chance 2: 1d7 ⇒ 3

Well, Looks like two images down @_@

Hide in Plain Sight taking 10 for a 53 again

The images are not destroyed if you do not hit his AC. SUn turn.

Btw, Garrend did not used the blessing of fervor bonus. EDIT: on a second thought, not sure f Auron can give BoF on Garren if he can not see him

Did he not break stealth once he attacked?

oh yeah that.

Sorry I didn't check the map after my turn. I was Spring Attacking vs. the spear ceusto and then moving up to threaten the tower shield one. Just sort of fixed it on the map (can't remember where my original position was so the line isn't accurate), so you might want to readjust the daemon positioning slightly.

good now?

Yep.

Will vs Slow: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29

Sun darts in, swooping down below (or above?) the cuestodaemons to get to Amman.

Using Martial Flexibility to grab Blind Fight and Disruptive.

He shuts his eyes, ignoring the images and focuses on hitting at where he can hear Amman's heartbeat.

50% Miss: 2d100 ⇒ (40, 52) = 92

Actually, wait one second. Before I make my actual attack roll, I wanna know if you'd allow Perfect Strike to be used with Unarmed Strikes? If so, I grab that instead of Disruptive. I believe I'll be attempting a Knockout punch, but I want some measure of assurance that I'll at least HIT. =)

Yes.

Schweet. Using the +2 Attack/Ref saves/AC part of Blessing of Fervor.

STUNNING KNOCKOUT BLOW: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (4) + 24 = 28
STUNNING KNOCKOUT BLOW: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (13) + 24 = 37

Damage: 2d8 + 34 ⇒ (3, 7) + 34 = 44

Amman has to make a DC 25 Fort save or be knocked Unconscious for 1d6 ⇒ 5 rounds. He can make a new save as a Full round action (if he fails this one) next round on his turn. He also needs ot make a DC 18 Fort save or be Stunned.

"Come on, let's see your glass jaw shatter."

Concentration for DD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Vampiric touch: 10d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 4, 2, 6, 3, 2, 3, 1, 3) = 30
Fire shield: 1d6 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17
Fort save: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (6) + 21 = 27
Fort save vs stunned: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 23
AoO sun: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (3) + 25 = 281d6 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
Miss chance (80 to 100 fails): 1d100 ⇒ 87

===============
The tower shield daemon tries to cast but Erd precense disrupt its spellcasting. Sun flies but it is surpirsed when Amman Hands extend to attack him at 10 ft. Fortunately his cloack save him fromgetting hitted.

Sun strike find it target delivering a solid strike. However, he pay a price. Two spells are unleashed over Sun. (17 fire damage form fire, 30 untped damage rom vampiric touch) I promise Everything is legal

On his part, Most of Amman injury get healed almost inmediately. He 5ft back and attack sun, using his unnatural enlonged arms armos

1: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (3) + 25 = 281d6 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17
Miss chance (80 to 100 fails): 1d100 ⇒ 9
2: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (19) + 20 = 391d6 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15
Miss chance (80 to 100 fails): 1d100 ⇒ 33
3: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 311d6 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15
Miss chance (80 to 100 fails): 1d100 ⇒ 2

(87 dmg total, I think that put Sun unconcious)

Erd turn.

(AS an advice. Amman is build for defense, He is non twf shield and board that only do 47 damage from a Full BAB full attack, plus all his attacks have been for defense or counter attack. Right now you are falling in his trap

So we have a spellcaster with better saves and attack bonuses than I do, who hurts you if you hit him. Cool beans.

Martial Caster disparity mate. Shoulda been a Warpriest/Sacred Fist. =P

Uh... How does Vampiric Touch affect Sun Xiao?

BTW, we should have a standardized order for resisting multiple effects (I suggest alphabetical order) and a standardized resolution for % chances (I suggest the effect happens when the die rolls lower than the %, like we do in OSB)

It doesn't matter what standard we use, as long as we stick to it.
