I'm fairly certain that adding the 'tornado template' to regular sharks would raise the CR enough to give us difficulty,... (WHY am I giving the madman, I mean GM, ideas?!?!?!) ;P


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

thanks! heh heh


Male Wild Elf Druid 16 (Shifter version, PHBII)

Anytime! :)

(This is gonna hurt, isn't it?) :(


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Who's doing what?


Male Wild Elf Druid 16 (Shifter version, PHBII)

Ok, seaquake? 'stuff' (presumably heavy) falling from above? Elgan-elemental to the rescue! :)

Elgan-Elemental, carrying Claw and Satari in one watery limb, flows above the others, using his free 'arm' to batter stuff away from the others as they paddle desperately for the surface.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Everybody make a reflex check, including Elgan; he's able to "aid another" with his check, as well as ensure that the battering doesn't make him drop Claw.


Female Elven Kensai 17; 122/122 hp; Effects: Haste, Inspire Courage +4, Mass Fly, Mirror Image (7)

Reflex: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21


The Celestial Dragon

Satari flops, limp and unaware, in Elgans fluidly careful arms.


Bard 8/ Troubadour of Stars 9 Epic Shredder

Reflex: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32

Pip zigs and zags, his small form dodging the debris


Male Human Wizard 17 (Conjuration specialist)

Reflex 11+8=19.


Male Wild Elf Druid 16 (Shifter version, PHBII)

Reflex: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

Bonuses from Furyform to saves et al included, I think,...


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Elgan's able to keep the rocks off of everybody with his powers.

You look down below (see map, the bottom one in blue; big purple rows,....)

this is a side view map.

The purple rows are big worms.

With big mouths.

Initiative.

1d20 - 2 ⇒ (3) - 2 = 1


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

map

pretty sure you guys win.


Bard 8/ Troubadour of Stars 9 Epic Shredder

I did a Haste before we dove, but if it is expired I will shoot off another, then begin the Inspire song

Pip starts strumming Lucille. The water-proofed guitar and the Freedom of Movement spell make his playing sound almost normal


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

It's not expired yet.


Female Elven Kensai 17; 122/122 hp; Effects: Haste, Inspire Courage +4, Mass Fly, Mirror Image (7)

Knowledge (Dungeoneering): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

She's trying to remember if she's aware of any resistances/immunities or vulnerabilities with regards to particular energy types. Anything else she gets is a bonus.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

No special defences. No resistances.

They can swallow you whole, and they have a hell of a sting.


Female Elven Kensai 17; 122/122 hp; Effects: Haste, Inspire Courage +4, Mass Fly, Mirror Image (7)

Emrael moves toward the nearest worm 5' as she begins the casting of a spell dragon's breath defensively. With a roar, her form appears to be overlaid with that of a huge gold dragon and a gout of superheated steam emerges from her mouth to engulf the head of the nearest worm and strike its neighbor as well. (I'm going with the assumption that they are not truly lined up so pretty that I can use a line effect against all of them.)

Before the steam has dissipated, the woman's katana flashes with power and begins to hew and carve at the closest worm.

Rule stuff:
OK, here's what I'm trying to do.

Spell Combat allows me to cast a spell while performing a full attack, at a -2 penalty to attack. She has to wield her katana in one hand during these attacks.

Casting defensively for a 4th-level spell has a Concentration DC 23; her Concentration check is 1d20 + 25.

Haste gives her a +1 to attack and a bonus attack.

She will apply a point of her arcane pool to grant her attacks a bonus equal to her Int Mod (+7) for one round and another point to make her katana a +5 Keen Flaming Burst katana.

She will employ power attack for a -3 to hit, +6 to damage and combat expertise and web of steel for an AC of 43.

Dragon's Breath (fire) Reflex DC 21 for half: 12d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 1, 5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 1, 6, 3) = 38

Haste Attack: 1d20 + 18 + 7 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 18 + 7 - 2 + 1 = 32
Damage: 1d8 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20

First Attack: 1d20 + 18 + 7 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 18 + 7 - 2 + 1 = 40
Damage: 1d8 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19

Second Attack: 1d20 + 13 + 7 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 13 + 7 - 2 + 1 = 38
Damage: 1d8 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26

Third Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 7 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 7 - 2 + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20

Guess I should make this official Concentration check, DC 23: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (5) + 25 = 30

Confirm for First Attack: 1d20 + 18 + 7 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 18 + 7 - 2 + 1 = 37
Damage: 1d8 + 18 + 1d10 ⇒ (3) + 18 + (10) = 31

Confirm for Second Attack: 1d20 + 13 + 7 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 13 + 7 - 2 + 1 = 32
Damage: 1d8 + 18 + 1d10 ⇒ (8) + 18 + (7) = 33

I have no idea how I could keep this all straight at the table. It's hard enough when I can take thirty minutes to write up an attack.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Em scorches the worm, and slashes away. Blood bubbles and seethes out in great gobs.

She can see swarms of little worms in the blood as well; all around her now.....
(Big red square).


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Huzzzzah!!!


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

I have no idea how I could keep this all...

I know, right?


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

back in a little bit


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Huzzah!!!


Male Wild Elf Druid 16 (Shifter version, PHBII)

"REEELEEEE???!?" Rumbles Elgan-elemental as he sees the ginourmous worms.

With a shake of his watery head, he plunges forward. Carrying Claw and Satari in one fluid arm, he can only use the other to attack, but Pip's charm of speed still allows him to get in two brutally swift attacks as he hammers at the nearest worm with Emreal,...

BTW, reminder that in Elemental Fury form, our little elf druid is Huge sized. :)

2 slam attacks:(Dmg is slam, plus 1d6 EACH fire, frost and electric (Although Fire may not work underwater, I presume th eelectric might mae up for it?)

1d20 + 29 ⇒ (6) + 29 = 352d6 + 19 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 1) + 19 + (5) + (3) + (4) = 361d20 + 29 ⇒ (12) + 29 = 412d6 + 19 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (3, 2) + 19 + (4) + (5) + (4) = 37


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Elgan batters away at one of the worms, thrashing it soundly; another gout of blood and wormlings spews forth from his foe.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

The red 10x10 square is a wormling swarm.

Male Wild Elf Druid 16 (Shifter version, PHBII)

F!@#$%^&* swarms,... Even at 16th level! ;P


Male Human Wizard 17 (Conjuration specialist)

5' step to AB46 before dropping a Horrid wilting on our wormy foes. It hits all three big worms, plus the two swarms of wormlings. Damage 16d6=62, FORT 28 for half damage.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Altai blasts them. The most injured worm takes the worst of it, and the swarms and viperfish look like they've swum through red tide.....

I think that it's Satari's go, and maybe Claw.


The Celestial Dragon

I need to update Satari to level 16. And I can't find the herolab file so I might need to rebuild him from the ground. At least we're not adding mythic tiers!

Satari bobs gently in Elgan's pwerful watery arms. The strength of Elgan's powerful elemental form protects him from the violence staining the water all around.

Yet.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

heh heh....


the worms are up, right?


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Satari and Claw get to go first.


Advanced flesh golem shield guardian

A pair of bladed hands emerge from Elgan's watery cocoon, plunging into the head of the nearest worm.

Full attack on Worm2. Attack 1: 12+16=AC 28, damage 3d8+8=21. Attack 2: 11+16=AC 27, damage 3d8+8=22.

Claw's attack sequence is so straightforward that I always think I've forgotten something... ;P

Satari-san!


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Claw's blow glances off of the thing's thick rubbery hide. The golem's face seems to betray confusion. But, that shouldn't be. Meat robots aren't known for emotion.

Satari


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Yay gastroesophageal reflux!


The Celestial Dragon

The monk floats weightless inside Elgan. Waves of violence ripple around him, tides of combat and bloodshed and danger carried on the tide. His eyes open, perhaps revealing an ember of green fire, and his body jacknifes in a swirl of bubbles.

When the bubbles clear he is gone, flicking into being next to one of the abyssal worms. His fist lashes out, leaving a smoking crater in the worm's flesh crawling with emerald fire. Flicker. He reappears on its other side, and a fist carves green ruin. Flicker. He reappears some way down its length, lashing out again and again. Flicker, flicker, flicker.

Abundant step. Flurry of Blows. Dimensional Savant. Power Attack. Dragon Stance. Flanking with self. Ki pool for extra strike. Attacks are adamantine and lawful.
Ki strike: Attack 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (3) + 21 = 24; damage 2d10 + 20 ⇒ (3, 1) + 20 = 24
Flurry 1: Attack 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (7) + 21 = 28; damage 2d10 + 20 ⇒ (10, 8) + 20 = 38
Flurry 2: Attack 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (9) + 21 = 30; damage 2d10 + 20 ⇒ (1, 3) + 20 = 24
Flurry 3: Attack 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35; damage 2d10 + 20 ⇒ (7, 7) + 20 = 34
Flurry 4: Attack 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29; damage 2d10 + 20 ⇒ (9, 6) + 20 = 35
Flurry 5: Attack 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21; damage 2d10 + 20 ⇒ (1, 10) + 20 = 31
Flurry 6: Attack 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25; damage 2d10 + 20 ⇒ (1, 9) + 20 = 30
Flurry 7: Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20; damage 2d10 + 20 ⇒ (7, 8) + 20 = 35

Flurry 3 crit confirmation: Attack 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27; damage 2d10 + 20 ⇒ (3, 7) + 20 = 30

The old monk comes to rest, composed but breathing heavily, at the tail of the worm and turns to see his handiwork.


Male Wild Elf Druid 16 (Shifter version, PHBII)

Flanking with SELF?!? Keep your monks away from my casters! ;P

Nice description,... :)

Emrael retrieves a bowl of still-fresh popcorn from a hidden extra-dimensional pocket and watches Satari go.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Satari's able to hit once, and doesn't confirm crit. It's getting hurt, that worm 1.

Their attack....

Worm three pukes up another swarm.

Swarm 1 attacks emrael. She takes 6d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 5, 1, 2, 1) = 13 hp and has to roll dc 21 fort or take 1d4 ⇒ 4 strength damage from poison.

Swarn 2 attacks Elgan. He takes 6d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 2, 6, 5, 5) = 24 hp and has to roll dc 21 fort or take 1d4 ⇒ 4 strength damage from poison.

Swarm three swims up towards Altai.

Worm 1 bites Satari. He takes 4d8 + 18 ⇒ (7, 8, 3, 5) + 18 = 41 It grabs him in his mouth; if cmb 51 beats Satari's cmd.
It then stings Emrael;
she takes 4d6 + 18 ⇒ (1, 6, 1, 2) + 18 = 28 and dc 27 fort save or lose 1d4 ⇒ 3 strength.

Worm 2 bites Altai. He takes 4d8 + 18 ⇒ (8, 3, 1, 2) + 18 = 32. It grabs him in his mouth; if cmb 49 beats Altai's cmd.
It then stings Claw; does 4d6 + 18 ⇒ (3, 1, 2, 5) + 18 = 29 before Claw's resistances, and....I reckon Claw's immune to poison.

Worm 3 bites Claw. He takes 4d8 + 18 ⇒ (3, 1, 7, 4) + 18 = 33 before resistances, and it grabs him if cmb 39 beats Claw's cmd.
It stings Claw and misses.

Group's up,....Claw, Satari, and Altai might be about to get swallowed.


Male Human Wizard 17 (Conjuration specialist)

Freedom of movement defeats all attempts at grapples. So only Claw and Satari get swallowed - I just take a metric s!%#-ton of damage. Claw has spiked armour, and thus does not go smoothly down the gullet.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Far out.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Claw's getting swallowed next round I reckon. He's in the mouth now.


Female Elven Kensai 17; 122/122 hp; Effects: Haste, Inspire Courage +4, Mass Fly, Mirror Image (7)

Fort DC 21: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22

Fort DC 27: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29

Wow, glad I rolled them in that order...

Rule stuff:

Spell Combat allows me to cast a spell while performing a full attack, at a -2 penalty to attack. She has to wield her katana in one hand during these attacks.

Casting defensively for a 3rd-level spell has a Concentration DC 21; her Concentration check is 1d20 + 25.

Haste gives her a +1 to attack and a bonus attack.

Her katana a +5 Keen Flaming Burst katana for 15 more rounds.

She will employ power attack for a -3 to hit, +6 to damage and web of steel for an AC of 40.

Displacement for a 50% miss chance against future worm stings; doubt it helps with swarm damage

Concentration check: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (2) + 25 = 27

Haste Attack: 1d20 + 21 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 21 - 2 + 1 = 27
Damage: 1d8 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19

First Attack: 1d20 + 21 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 21 - 2 + 1 = 30
Damage: 1d8 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22

Second Attack: 1d20 + 16 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 16 - 2 + 1 = 27
Damage: 1d8 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26

Third Attack: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 11 - 2 + 1 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 18 ⇒ (3) + 18 = 21

I can't complain about the rolls after negating all that strength damage, but I'd sure like to...


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

Man, the rolls have been gnarly today.....

Emrael misses her mark with her katana.


Female Elven Kensai 17; 122/122 hp; Effects: Haste, Inspire Courage +4, Mass Fly, Mirror Image (7)

Yeah, check out what I just did in the other game.


I AM THE LORD OF ALL HELLFIRE!!!!!

I know, right? WTF?


Male Wild Elf Druid 16 (Shifter version, PHBII)

Fort Save:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31

Elgan's watery form shakes off the worst of the swarm's attempts to burrow into his fluid form. But there are still visible 'chunks' missing from his form from where they tried to burrow in.

"Thas Jesss Naaaassstyyyy!" ELganWave bellows, clearly audible underwater.

With seemingly effortless motions, ElganWave hammers into the nearest worm,... Is this the one with Altai, or Claw?

1d20 + 29 ⇒ (12) + 29 = 412d6 + 16 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 16 + (5) + (2) + (4) = 301d20 + 29 ⇒ (17) + 29 = 462d6 + 16 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 1) + 16 + (5) + (5) + (4) = 32


Male Human Wizard 17 (Conjuration specialist)

"Gaaaah! Get off me, damned worms!" Altai bamf!s away to safety before casting a spell...

I'm getting the heck out of Dodge using my Dimensional step ability to move to Y40. From there, I cast Cone of cold, which I Empower with my metamagic rod. It hits Worms 2 and 3, as well as Swarms 2 and 3 (plus Claw, but he doesn't give a crap). Damage 15d6=58x1,5=87 cold. The swarms take a further 50% extra damage: 87x1,5=131 cold. Reflex 25 for half damage.
