Toramin's turn will depend on which if, if any, of the mooks take a lava bath.
Does the missed attack against Bjorkus pop an image even though it missed due to concealment?
It did not miss due to concealment.
Ah, my mistake. I thought it was 50% miss chance.
This is normal concealment, which is 20%. Total concealment provides 50%.
Which of the bad guys, if any are currently being effected by Archon's Aura?
Both of the forge spurned within range. The rest that failed were dumped into the magma.
Posting might slow down a bit, as I'm reaching the end of the school term. Luckily once it's over I'll be in a posting frenzy since I'll have no more (school related) responsibilities!
Yeah, I could see a houserule that haste helped with escape artist. You do move faster. Let's say it cuts the time down by a third, so it's 7 rounds instead of 10.
Poor Rilka. Everybody has been so busy trying to murder everybody else that nobody has helped her haha. Although in fairness it was Sveng's next action if he wasn't blinded.
I meant to kill the spell caster. But for some reason thought the drow was the alchemist. Oh well. Which square did he step into?
If the map is correct, I think that the drow stepped into the dog's threatened area and would have provoked by spellcasting.
Well they were both spellcasters.
He stepped southish. He was out of range of any attacks.
It was an invisibility spell.
The dog's size doesn't give him reach? Because he looked like he bit the gnome at a similar diagonal.
I'm going to take my miss chances trying to kill him on my turn. The chance that he has another widen pit are too high.
Uhh...that's not how invisibility works. You can't disbelieve it.
You may be right. I thought that since it is a illusion spell that allows for a saving throw and all illusions can be disbelieved that it might be possible.
Seven rounds sounds fine. I just hope Rilka passed her skill check.
Yeah, I thought Sveng’s plan was to untie her. It’s almost funny how she’s nearly incapacitated in this fight. Once she is free, her only weapon is the staff sling (without ammo). I remember thinking, Let’s get rid of that weight, now that Rilka has a magical pistol. Why would she use her staff sling for ranged attacks? *sigh* I’d play up the humor aspect more if the stakes weren’t so dire.
I mean the thing about this is that the fight wouldn't even be happening without Rilka's manipulations behind the screen. The party would still be hopelessly flailing around the city chasing their own tails.
Good to know our efforts are meaningless. :-p
But, yes, thank you, Rilka.
How many times did Bjorkus hit? Was the 31 a miss?
Twice. Yes the 31 was a miss.
Ianna, your elemental could only sustain whirlwind form for two rounds.
Shouldn't that be three hits then? Does he have some kind of crane style hit negating thing?
Oh yeah you hit three times but I ignored one because it didn't overcome DR.
Lord, I want to be whomever bank rolls these jerks. Who okays the expenditure on armor to negate critical hits for a man who cannot be killed? I think that armor is at least 40k. That is the very definition of conspicuous consumption. At least the villains are consistently super wealthy what with their glue traps, acid pools, and wasteful armors.
We are fighting the 1%.
Bah. That's some crazy DR.
From how Bjorkus has seen how much of the damage he's inflicting is getting through? Half? Less than half?
Heh, wouldn't you like to know?
Yes, yes it is. Calios is one tough bastard.
Your normal attacks are doing a bit over half. And he also appears to be healing.
Sorry Ianna but your goddess doesn't seem to know how combat works.
The villains always having more money than Abadar is frankly annoying, but at least it is consistent.
Don't blame me.
Though perhaps a more warlike god would have given better advice.
I don't blame you. I blame your divine messengers. =P
So many things I could explain to you...but what's the fun in that?
The annoyance isn't just that they are wildly better geared than us, it's the wastefulness of what they spend it on.
When you have all of the wealth you can afford to squander it.
Yes.
I guess we are warriors in some little understood class insurgency.
Occupy!

Where is our Elizabeth Warren figure to regulate the wicked into submission?
I changed the elemental's action.
It's not a skilled grappler, but that check could grapple Rilka, so let's hope that that unchained rogue has a low CMD.
"I'm not mad that they have more money than us, I'm mad that they don't use it to powergame as hard as us".
Heh.
Why did you have the elemental fly low enough to be hit by the chains? The point of flying is to avoid AoO.
That is a deeply uncharitable reading of what I said, Omen. Especially given your NPCs are no strangers to power. Since you like to remind us how much cooler they are than we are.
Well they have a 10 foot reach and the gnome was within their reach, so not really an easy way to get around it.
No offense meant, just poking fun at you.
Oh, they moved!
Rilka if you have a shield extract prepared, I would be much obliged if you poured it down my throat.
I'm kind of surprised that a hasted Stoneriver doesn't have enough movement to just bullrush his way over here in one go.
After you take your action, Rilka can you step out of the way so Ianna can get next to Toramin?
Question about Kinetic reverberation. It says after making a successful melee attack against the target, the “attacker must make a Fortitude saving throw for the weapon used” or the weapon takes the same damage. It doesn’t tell what the DC for the saving throw is. Is there a standard DC default either I don’t know about or am forgetting?
No problem with the Shield extract or moving out of the way. Glad to contribute. Thanks for asking :)
The DC is the DC of the spell or extract. It depends on how powerful the caster is.
Thank you, Rilka. You could very well be a life saver!
So I'm pretty heavily skeptical about pouring an extract down somebody else's throat mid combat. Currently surfing the rules forums for some advice.
Personally, I think it would not be gallant to take away one of the few ways that Rilka can directly contribute to this combat. She doesn't have a weapon, but she has invested Talents into being able to use her alchemy on other people.
If it's just the imagery you object to, then we could imagine she smashed the vial against his armor to create the effect.
It's not taking away an ability, it's making sure it's properly used. There are no rules for pouring a drink down another person's throat while they are in the middle of combat. Out of combat I don't really care, but right now Toramin is attacking and dodging and blocking.
If Toramin wants the shield extract, he will have to use his action to drink it.
