A swarm composed of Fine or Diminutive creatures is immune to all weapon damage.
Initiative:
Kaz 33
Hali 16
Tik-tik 11
Lotus 10
swarm init:
I am going to start the fight.
Kaz and Hali up first.
|
Upon identifying the Mist, Hali initially looks nervous, but then she sets a grim expression and prepares to blast the abomination. When she has the chance to act, she casts a ray of Searing Light directly into the creature, and then takes a 5' step back.
or if its particularly vulnerable to light:
Lotus, I don't think Abadar would approve of this undead monstrosity dwelling in his temple, do you?
in reply
"No he do's not, some thing is very very wrong here, who would do such a defilement"
Thinking quickly, Tik-Tik swallows a tiny ball and breaths out a torrent of flame at the red mist.
Sorry Hali, but that won't work. You can redo your action though.
A swarm is immune to any spell or effect that targets a specific number of creatures (including single-target spells such as disintegrate), with the exception of mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, morale effects, patterns, and phantasms) if the swarm has an Intelligence score and a hive mind.
Basically if you need an attack roll the attack won't work. Area affects and splash damage work though. It also can not be affected by spells that target single creatures such as magic missile.
Swarms can be annoying. Tik Tik's breath weapon will work though.
If Kaz has not posted by the time Hali redoes her action I will let the monster go on its initiative.
Kaz reaches into his spell pouch feeling around for the small pepper hoping he wouldn't have to put it in his mouth it always kills his sense of taste for days, Kaz sighs and pops it in. Kaz moves in front of Tik-Tik unleashing a god awful belch that is accompanied by a cone of Fire.
Damage
School evocation [fire]; Level alchemist 2, sorcerer/wizard 2
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, M (a chili pepper)
Range 15 ft.
Area cone-shaped burst
Duration 1 round/level or until discharged; see text
Saving Throw Reflex half; see text; Spell Resistance yes
Up to thrice during this spell's duration, you can belch forth a cone of fire as a standard action. The first cone deals 4d6 points of fire damage to every creature in the area. The second cone of flame deals 2d6 points of fire damage to every creature in the area. The third cone of flame deals 1d6 points of fire damage to every creature in the area. A successful Reflex save halves this damage. After the third cone of flame, the spell ends.
Lotus will Shout "KEEP BACK!"

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Burn (Ex)
A fire elemental deals fire damage in addition to damage dealt on a successful hit in melee. Those affected by the burn ability must also succeed on a Reflex save or catch fire, taking the listed damage for an additional 1d4 rounds at the start of its turn. A burning creature can attempt a new save as a full-round action. Dropping and rolling on the ground grants a +4 bonus on this save. Creatures that hit a burning creature with natural weapons or unarmed attacks take fire damage as though hit by the burning creature and must make a Reflex save to avoid catching on fire. See Burn for more details.
An elemental has the following features.
Immunity to bleed, paralysis, poison, sleep effects, and stunning.
Not subject to critical hits or flanking. Does not take additional damage from precision-based attacks, such as sneak attack.
Proficient with natural weapons only, unless generally humanoid in form, in which case proficient with all simple weapons and any weapons mentioned in its entry.
Proficient with whatever type of armor (light, medium, or heavy) it is described as wearing, as well as all lighter types. Elementals not indicated as wearing armor are not proficient with armor. Elementals are proficient with shields if they are proficient with any form of armor.
Elementals do not breathe, eat, or sleep.

Then Hali will try Lightning Breath from where she was originally standing, right next to the Mist, before taking the 5' step back.
"Come Feel the warmth of the sun, dead ones, let it free your souls"
Reflex save vs Kaz:
2 damage
Reflex save vs Hali:
7 damage
Monster's turn:
random dice roll:
The symbol on the floor glows and Hali's blood seeps out of her pores, and go directly to the mist. Hali you take 60 points of damage.
The mist then enters Kaz's square.
Kaz takes points of damage and one con drain
A creature that begins its turn in the same
square as the hungry mist must make a Fortitude save (DC
21) or be nauseated for 1 round. In order to cast a spell
while within the hungry mist, a character must succeed on
a concentration check (DC 21 + spell level).
Kaz you don't have to make the save until the beginning of your next turn.
Reflex save vs Tik-Tik:
His luck ran out. 16 damage
Tik-Tik The monster is now in Kaz's square. You can choose to keep your action which would also hit Kaz or do something else.
Lotus that elemental form is too big to fit into the room, and the burn ability is a rider affect. Since the elemental(you) can't hit the swarm because it is immune to weapon based attacks the burn ability will not activate that way, but if it is crazy enough to enter your square then it will activate, and it just might be. However it is currently enjoying Kaz, but if it decides to take up 10 feet of space instead of 5 you could become the second target.
The reason it is taking half damage is because it is incorporeal also, just a reminder.
What I will do is make any square the mist is occupying red.
I am assuming you are holding your action until Tik-Tik and Hali get out of the way.
Lotus you are free to change your first round action if you are not holding.
Round 2:
Kaz 33 don't forget to make your save to avoid being nauseated.
Hali 16
your turns.
edit:By the rules you can pass though the square of a creature 3 steps above you in size, but you can't occupy it. That would mess up familiars and witch, plus I see no reason why a cat(same size as you) could not share space so I am going to allow it.
I only brought this up in case it comes up in another game.
Fort save
Kaz let's out another belch as more fire comes out.
Reflex vs Kaz:
She still says keep back but at the Undead
Hali:
Wind based won't work Sonic works as along it is not designed to target one creature, but it will still only take half damage.
The symbol and monster do attack separately. You have to make a DC 14 Will save to reduce the damage to 30 HP. I did not notice the error in the book. The ability should allow for a save IMHO.
Will save: 1d20+16
Magic weapons can hit incorporeal things, but weapons don't do anything against swarms made of diminutive, and fine creatures. The "swarm" part of the monster is the issue. If it was only incorporeal it would be easier to defeat.
I will assume the count is in the other room for now. If you want to grab him from Keffle someone can try. I guess Thogg could do it. :)
Round 2
Kaz 33
Thogg 28
Hali 16
swarm 16
Tik-tik 11
Lotus 10
Kaz, Thogg, and Hali are up.
I lost count. Good call Haz. Thogg and then the swarm.
Tik-Tik and Lotus can go ahead and post just to keep things moving.
I am assuming Thogg will go to get the count on his turn.
I did fail the other will save vs channel. I don't know why it is not posted, and the hit points have been subtracted.
Will save:
If the tile on the floor is broken up it still disrupt the symbol, which disables the trap.
edit:two failed will saves.
random roll for trap activation:
random roll to select a target:
Hali make a DC 14 Will save: If you make the save you take 30 points of damage. If you fail you take 60.
We will assume Keffle is arguing with the count about the current situation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Without any passable target for a beating, Thogg smashes the area of the floor with the symbol repeatedly.
Thogg has broken up the pattern of the signal.
Round 3
Kaz 33
Thogg 28
Hali 16
swarm 16
Tik-tik 11
Lotus 10
Kaz, Thogg, and Hali are up.
I notice Tik Tik did not take a round 2 action. If he does no post before Hali I will post for him to keep things moving.
His final belch strikes forth at the swarm
Then he draws his Wand of Lightening Bolt getting aimed at the swarm.
Tossing another small ball into his mouth, Tik-Tik bites down on it and breathes more flame at the swarm.
Tik-Tik that was your round 2 action. You can go ahead and make your round 3 action if you want. I will just adjust your aim so you don't hit a party member, unless the creature is harrassing 2 at the same time.
In that case post an alternate action.
Round 2 reflex save:
Kaz I have your numbers accounted for.
