She resists the Baleful Polymorph (I think so anyway, please indicate the dc next time)

The Burning Disarm goes into effect but she doesn't let go and doesn't seem burned.

She avoids the first Quill and the second one hits her and deals no damage (so the poison doesn't kick in)

Lucather then goes and uses Psychic Crush[i]]http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/psychicCrush.htm on Reggie (dc 28).

Will: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22 Fails and is at -1 and dying

"The man, fools, the man is the true threat! Leave his petty servant alone!"

With shadow twin I can do a few things this turn, I'd like to wait until I find out if she makes these saves before I finish my turn.

Elara swiftly strides forward and lashes out with a single perfectly manicured fingernail at the woman.

Use the Mindlock and Terrified Escape terrors
DC26 will save or be panicked for one round, -4 penalty on the save
DC26 will save or be mindlocked for 15 minutes, -4 penalty on the save

I'm still having some difficulty posting for some reason so my responses might be delayed. I will do my best to manage

will save: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22
will save: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33

She is panicked for one round.

Reverie fires at the man..

Weapon is +5, so overcomes all DR minus DR/- or Epic..

Damage 2 2d8 + 46 ⇒ (8, 2) + 46 = 56

As the woman's eyes go wide with terror, Elara and her double smile. Both of their eyes open wide, and Elara turns her head head back towards the psion. "Now... where were we?"

Behind him, Elara's double lets out a low chuckle, building to a spasm of frenzied laughter. As its amusement grows, shadows leap off the floor and augment its form, making it grow larger, stronger, more terrifying. Two thick tentacles composed of darkness explode out from the double's head, two more reaching around from its back. Together, the tentacles lash out at the psion, as the double laughs and laughs and laughs...

Panicked activates a few abilities, so...

My posting issues seems to be gone now, Finally! Wyatt please post as soon as you can. The rest of you can post your actions now if you decided on what you were doing.

Vanessa drops her mace in her terror and casts teleport get away.

Elara: Your shadow misses twice and hits twice. Neither crit confirms.

Reverie: The man is hut by the first two attacks but avoids the other 3. The critical doesn't confirm.

I almost forgot about Pureblade!

Pureblade attacks the man (twice using smite) unfortunately he doesn't manage a single hit.

seeing her casting a spell Wyatt casts greater forbid action (dc 23 will)

Cease what you are doing and stand there and be judged!

remember I had delayed to see if she casts

Sorry About DCs...i was looking them up and just forogt to add them Burning Disarm (DC 21) Baleful Polymorph (DC25)

Bah She got away But she left the mace here. Oh well lets see what we can do about this guy...

BoneShatter on Lucather (DC 22 For 1/2 Damage and be fatigued not exhausted)

SR if needed: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (20) + 19 = 39
Damage: 15d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 3, 4, 4, 3, 5, 4, 1, 6, 2, 5, 1, 6, 3) = 53

Followed by The Quickened Baleful Polymorph (DC 29) (Quickened using Spell Perfection Feat) (Fort Negates, If fail need will save)

Salty on that man

Will save vs Forbid action: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33

oh...Well she makes it sorry. Good idea thought.

Lucather Fort save vs Boneshatter: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (10) + 22 = 32

Baleful polymorph...no effect.

Salty misses with both quills.

Lucather becomes aglow with psionic energy that surrounds his whole body."I am beyond anything you can even imagine. I was promised this world long ago and betrayed. They separated my mind from my body but I have returned. Soon I will be whole again and I will claim what was promised to me and more!"

He releases the energy in a scream that tears at your minds.

Using Ultrablast. Hits everyone for for 15d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 2, 6, 6, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 6, 1, 1, 6, 3) = 49. Will save dc 30 for half.

Need Wyatt's and Elara's action for round 2. Then we move to round 3.

I delayed until round 2 to cast forbid action on vanessa, on the flip side I'll be top at round 3.

She takes half..

Round 3

Reverie unleashes another volley at the man..

Damage 3 2d8 + 46 + 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) + 46 + (2, 3) = 63

cure critical: 4d8 + 15 ⇒ (3, 1, 3, 3) + 15 = 25

wyatt steps over and channels pure life force into reggie

I realize I didn't say this, but everyone should be life linked with me, so I'll take 5 from anyone with more than 5 hp gone and they will heal 5

I assume that heal was for round 2, which would happen after the ultrablast and put Reggie to 23hps and give him a turn.. Correct me if wrong here GM.. Also Wyatt you have your 3rd round actions still.. Everyone just got blasted in round 2.. A channel wouldn't be to bad..

Round 2

Reggie gets up and pounces on the man..

All attacks are +5 so overcomes all DR minus /- or Epic

Bite: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (18) + 23 = 41
Claw: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (12) + 24 = 36
Claw: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (15) + 24 = 39
Rake: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (13) + 23 = 36
Rake: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (13) + 23 = 36
Dam Bite: 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21
Dam Claw: 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17
Dam Claw: 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22
Dam Rake: 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19
Dam Rake: 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

If the bite and claws hit..

Grapple
Grapple: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (11) + 28 = 39
Grapple: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (17) + 28 = 45
Grapple: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (8) + 28 = 36

Ill procede with his round 3 actions depending on what happened here..

Elara: 90 foot radius centered on him. The room your in is only 20 by 20.

you assumed wrong it was turn 3, as round 2 I delayed and cast forbid action, also you are prone so you either attack from prone or spend an action to get up

Round 1
-Vanessa: Uses mace to create protective barrier
-Reverie: Attacks Vanessa with arrows
-Reggie: Attack Vanessa
-Galgar: Burning disarm and Baleful polymorph on Vanessa
-Lucather: Downs Reggie using psychic crush
-Wyatt: Delays
-Elera: Panics Vanessa and Attack Lucather with shadow

-Vanessa: Uses teleport to escape
-Reverie: Attacks with arrows
-Reggie: is at -1
-Galgar: Boneshatter + Baleful polymorph
-Lucather: Ultrablast - 49 damage will dc 30 for half. I think this actually kills Reggie
-Wyatt: Forbid action at Vanessa.
-Elara: No action yet this round.
-Pureblade attacks Lucather

Round 3
-Wyatt: May need to reconsider his action.
-Reverie: Shoots arrows at Lucather
-Reggie: Dead (I think)
-Galgar: No action yet this round
-Lucather: No action yet this round
-Elera: No action yet this round.
-Pureblade attacks Lucather

if he was taking lethal, breath of life

If it acts like a fireball than yes it would kill him.. If he targets individuals than only if he targeted the downed cat.. If so let me know because ill try and save for 1/2.. It would take a 20 and if failed your breath of life wouldn't work unless you rolled very high.. He would be at -52 with you only rolling 5d8+13.. It could happen just have to roll well..

Yeah sorry it's a 15 foot spread centered on the caster. Targets every living creature. Go ahead and roll for breath of live it can save him.

quicken cure critical from combat healer: 4d8 + 15 ⇒ (1, 3, 2, 3) + 15 = 24
breath: 5d8 + 13 ⇒ (5, 5, 1, 6, 5) + 13 = 35 (also heal +5 from life link)
assuming I can cure some hp damage first and then raise him...
Breath easy, and try not to move much

Its all good.. Shit happens.. Esp at high level.. he would actaully be at 12 hp after the heals etc.. He would have not been able to pounce though, but he would have been able to bite the man.. He rolled a 41 AC for 21 damage and a grapple check of 39.. BTW i didnt see many people rolling vs that 49 damage he just did.. Might wanna do that..

Will Save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19
Ouch...
That Smarted....
Quick cast Vengful Comets on himself
Then Selective Tar pool Excluding party members (DC 26)
Tar pool Damage: 7d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 4, 4, 1, 6, 6) = 26

Still missing some saves vs the ultrablast

Lucather seems to partially dissolve his body turning into shadow.
(Using supernatural ability to become incorporeal as a move action)

"This body is weak, it will not last much longer but this is but a minor setback and I'm not done yet!"

He fires a green ray of energy at Wyatt. Psionic Disintegrate: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 3122d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 3, 3, 2, 5, 6, 4, 5, 2, 6, 2, 1, 4, 4, 1, 3, 4, 1, 1, 5, 1) = 68
Dc 28 fort save if you make it you take
save damage: 19d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 6, 3, 2, 3, 1, 3, 5, 5, 5, 3, 6, 3, 5, 6, 2, 5, 3) = 72 instead.
lol you take more if you make the save. He's going all out at this point so I augmented it as much as he could.

Round 3
-Wyatt: May need to reconsider his action.
-Reverie: Shoots arrows at Lucather
-Reggie: Bites and grapples.
-Galgar: Vengefull comet and Tar pool
-Lucather: Psionic disintegrate on Wyatt.
-Elera: No action yet this round.
-Pureblade attacks Lucather

fort: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28

ok I have no clue how psionics work, but that makes zero sense for a failed save to do more damage than a regular one, that a failed save does a mere 3d6 less out of 22d6... Also my action was at top of round before any of his actions happened, so assuming it'd let reggie cat live, he'd be doing that still, assuming you let me heal hp dmg then do breath of life. Also I somehow didn't catch the ultra blast, because in your summaries you had psychic crush on reggie, and then no action this round etc...
will from forgotten ultra: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32

With normal disintegrate, if you fail the save you take titanic damage, if you succeed you take decent damage. I imagine with psionic disintegrate you can amp up the decent damage.

Also, isn't he grappled by the cat?

the cat is unconscious.... or was before my healing

He escaped the grapple be becoming incorporeal. And yes the way psionic disintegrate works is it does 5d6 damage if you make the save but by spending 1 additional power point he can increase that 5d6 by 2d6. He spent 7 additional points to raise the 5d6 to 19d6. In this case making the save does more damage cause he got better rolls with the 19d6.

As for the breath of life. You cant heal before doing the breath as the creature is dead but the breath alone is enough to bring him back to life at negative hp were it becomes stable. You can heal him after as a swift action bringing him to 12 hp.

Can you calculate your hp Wyatt? I don't know were your at.

What is Elara doing?

assuming all I've taken is the 142 so far... I'm certainly going to have to heal myself/others as soon as it's my turn =/ that's hellacious output.

Round Two

The blast of energy affects both Elara and her double, sending them almost to their knees; with the departure of the woman, her double loses its monstrous form. Elara shakes her head, firmly recovering her focus. She looks around the group and growls "Kill me if that bastard tries to take me."

Stepping forward, she throws her hand forward, arm extending out darkness augmenting its length, towards her double.

Manifest Offensive Precognition on my double, spending 13 power points on it.
You didn't say what type of roll I need to make; will save or concentration check? I'll roll will, versus DC28
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
So 26 power points expended

Her eyes then roll back as she concentrates on herself, and lets out a terrified scream, shaking in place as something none can see terrifies her.

Use Incite Terror terror twice on myself, making me Frightened

Drinking in Elara's fear, her twin grins widely as tentacles burst out, and lash out at the caster again.

Attacks:
1d20 + 30 ⇒ (20) + 30 = 50 2d8 + 13 ⇒ (7, 6) + 13 = 26
1d20 + 30 ⇒ (15) + 30 = 45 2d8 + 13 ⇒ (5, 4) + 13 = 22
1d20 + 30 ⇒ (6) + 30 = 36 2d8 + 13 ⇒ (8, 4) + 13 = 25
1d20 + 30 ⇒ (4) + 30 = 34 2d8 + 13 ⇒ (5, 3) + 13 = 21
Confirm: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (2) + 28 = 30 2d8 + 13 ⇒ (7, 4) + 13 = 24

Round Three

Elara's double lashes out again furiously, as Elara rocks back and forth terrified.

Attacks:
1d20 + 30 ⇒ (17) + 30 = 47 2d8 + 13 ⇒ (5, 1) + 13 = 19
1d20 + 30 ⇒ (4) + 30 = 34 2d8 + 13 ⇒ (3, 8) + 13 = 24
1d20 + 30 ⇒ (9) + 30 = 39 2d8 + 13 ⇒ (2, 6) + 13 = 21
1d20 + 30 ⇒ (19) + 30 = 49 2d8 + 13 ⇒ (5, 7) + 13 = 25

It's a concentration check dc 15 + number of points spent on the power.

He looks like his body is falling apart he can't take much more.

channel: 9d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 3, 3, 6, 1, 3, 3, 6) = 35

wyatt heals 53dmg, and takes 25dmg from life link everyone heals 40 total

Ok im all updated again..

Reverie attacks yet again..

Weapon is +5, so overcomes all DR minus DR/- or Epic..

Hasted/Deadly Aim/Rapid Shot/Manyshot/Bane
Attack 1 Manyshot 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (13) + 25 = 38
Attack 2 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (11) + 25 = 36
Attack 3 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (2) + 25 = 27
Attack 4 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (17) + 20 = 37
Attack 5 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20
Damage 1 Manyshot2d8 + 46 + 4d6 ⇒ (6, 2) + 46 + (4, 6, 3, 1) = 68

Damage 5 1d8 + 23 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 23 + (5, 5) = 34

Reggie too attacks again..

Attacks are +5, so overcomes all DR minus DR/- or Epic..

Bite: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (12) + 23 = 35
Claw: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (13) + 24 = 37
Claw: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (8) + 24 = 32

Dam Bite: 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17
Dam Claw: 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23
Dam Claw: 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

He brings up his hand to shield his eyes from the light of Wyatt's Channel and clearly dislikes it but doesn't appear harmed by it.

All of Reverie's and Reggie's attack miss.

His AC went up when he went Incorp? He looses armor bonuses and natural armor bonuses while corp..

He's a caster, likely didn't have many of those; and neither of you rolled particularly well.

A 37 and 38? And dont have many of those? Bracers of AC anyone? Amulet of Natural Armor? Ntm he's some sorta fiend, im sure he has a base Natural Armor he would lose as well.. He would gain his charisma to deflect, but thats not the main stat for Psion's is it? I mean i went from hitting on a decent roll to now needing a 14 or better on my main attacks.. Granted im no full bab class but still.. Loosing all Armor and Natural Armor bonuses i wouldnt figure his ac to go up..

in all fairness I don't think reggie was including attacking from prone (-4), also unless you can see in the ethereal, there's 50% miss chance to what may have hit

Before he went incorporeal you only hit on a 41, but couldn't hurt to get the GM to double-check. It is to be expected, its a single baddie designed to go up against a full party of high-level characters, needs to have high AC and saves and damage in order to be a threat and not crumple like tinfoil.

Wyatt, are you sure that incorporeal provides a 50% miss chance? I don't think it does

Wyatt, are you sure that incorporeal provides a 50% miss chance? I don't think it does

yeah it just provides 50% less damage taken... and if he's got DR/- that makes potential for no damage from those attacks. I always keep importing 3.0 rules when I play with rules I seldom use lol

His ac didn't go up or down from going incorporeal it was always 39
