Elgan's barkskinned. Assuming he's in the temple as well.

Actually, we are ALL already Mass Barksinned, Elgan casts Stoneskin. :)

The way I saw it after reading the cross posts, Elgan steps out, dares them, then the doors slam open behind him. It looks REALLY cool in my mind! :) Either way, my t-shirt reads, 'ALTAI SHOT FIRST!' :D

new page, new map linky

Heh heh; where do you want to move to?

The Vital Strike/Cleave ruling makes sense. One more way Cleave is different now; additionally, it gets weird with mobs. So:

Gjetost launches his absurd bulk off the temple stairs and flies towards the oxcarts. Landing lightly on a wagon, he strikes the crowd on the bridge with huge, reaping slashes.

He moves to AL-AN 21-23. Though it looks like he's standing on the roofs of the wagons, he is of course flying; I guess he's 10' off the ground. He then lashes out at the crowd using Vital Strike. Attack roll 11+29-4(Power Attack)=AC 36, damage 8d6+23+12(PA)=65 damage.

'ALTAI SHOT FIRST!'

He always does! And, yes, that's a dead cool visual.

I have to say like the Gjetost visual too: A 25' tall granite-skinned giant in full plate armour crouching on top of a bunch of wagons surrounded by a sea of gore, oversized samurai sword shearing through his comparatively tiny abhuman opponents. Pretty f'ing over the top. The black basalt courtyard and the weak moonlight of Leng adds a certain ambience, too.

Damage noted so far:

65 from Gjetost,
84 hp from cone of cold; 26 reflex for half.

Gjetost adds to the carnage in his own way.

I guess Emrael and Satari have yet to go this round, and Elgan if he wants to call a position after the door slings open that'd be groovy.

Satari steps in front of Pip, and readies an attack against anything that comes within reach. He tries to make out what threats remain after Altai's rain of frozen carnage.

Satari moves to shield the tiny bard.

Emrael.....

Position for Elgan when he steps out of the door to dare them would be groovy too.

Emrael steps out alongside Satari, katana readied, shaking her head at the damage wrought in scant seconds.

Readying attack if one of the denizens comes within reach.

I arbitrarily placed Elgan; their attack.

Question: I believe only Altai and Gjetost are visible at the moment?...

Everybody except Pip is visible. One of two things happened:
1) I never cast Invisibility sphere as we were going to look outside first before deciding on our next move.
or
2) I did cast Invisibility sphere; it is gone now, as I both attacked and moved away from the other PCs.

I'd argue the first alternative, but either way we're all visible. The exception is Pip, who made himself invisible using his wand.

In the crowd, Altai and Gjetost can see that there are three interesting creatures, demarked with sky blue, besides whatever t'cho t'cho's are still functional after the devastating cone of cold attack.

The "sh" is a fat, portly, 7 foot tall, barrel torsoed hairy evil looking vaguely humanoid, outsider with bat wings, purple skin and shaggy hair the color of a bruise, and wielding a heinously galumphous morningstar.
The two marked "MM" are 10 foot tall unnaturally and extremely mesomorphic giant sized humanoids who do not appear to have any skin over their muscles.

It is their attacks; at this point I'm just trying to verify who exactly is and is not invisible; I believe only Altai and Gjetost can be seen, along with Claw.

Got it.

This might take a while.

Firstly, the bat winged humanoid waves his hand, and Gjetost falls on the wagons, shattering them with his immenseness.

He takes 8 in damage before whatever DR he has; no biggy.

The two muscly giant things charge Gjetost.

One of them hits, and they're evil so Gjetost takes 22 hp in damage from the hit.

Tcho Tcho T1 moves to AW 12, and the whole group around the door there (ie discounting Gjetost and Altai)
takes
5d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 3, 2, 1) = 10

d.c. 15 fort save for half damage.

Tcho tcho 2 moves up to AW 13, to guard his buddy.

T3 moves to AS 17.

T4 moves to AM 24 and tries to punch Gjetost. He misses.

T5 runs and dives under the wagon at AJ 24 or something. He's hard to see now.

And
T6 runs to AU 20.

Not too bloody,......

Group's attack!!!!!

The two muscly giant things charge Gjetost.

First of all, this provokes an AoO. Attack roll 10+29-4(Power Attack)=AC 35, damage 4d6+23+12(PA)=51 damage. This goes against MM2.

Gjetost hits the thug. It doesn't drop the creature though.

The purple area in AG-AH 24-36 - is that a wall, or does the bridge just drop off there?

That's a wall.

We are all just bricks in it.

Got it. I was going to use Awesome Blow to blast the smaller guys right off the bridge and into the abyss, but I guess we'll just chop them up the old-fashioned way instead.

So... No move. Gjetost is using 4-point Power Attack. Attacks start on MM2, then MM1, then the t'cho t'cho, respectively, if they fall.
Attack 1: 9+29-4(Power Attack)=AC 34, damage 4d6+23+12(PA)=49.
Attack 2: 16!+24-4(Power Attack)=AC 36, confirm roll 10+24-4+4(Critical Focus feat)=AC 34, damage 4d6+23+12(PA)=50x2=100 + 2d6=5 bleed.
Attack 3: 12+19-4(Power Attack)=AC 27, damage 4d6+23+12(PA)=48.

I'm casting Feeblemind on the ugly furry. Will 26 or have all mental stats reduced to 1; if he has arcane spells or spell-like abilities, he takes a -4 penalty on the save. Otherwise, no move.

Gjetost's attack drops mm2.

Need a roll to overcome spell resistance please......

I'll be back in an hour.

SR check 13+16+1(spell penetration=30.

He's not feebleminded.

You can't run; you can move at half speed, and you can make a standing broad jump when you get there. You've lost your inertia though; you just got smacked up by a bunch of cold hail......

edit ooops! wrong game!!!

nevermind, nothing to see here.

Does this refer to the group by the door?

Bah! Stupid furries.

Nope. It was a wrong poste; it was for my other game.

Disregard.....

Huzzzah!!!!!!!!

Everybody's turn besides Altai/Gjetost....

Has it been 16 minutes since the battle over the pit? If so, Emrael will refresh her arcane pool on the katana. +5 Keen Flaming Burst

Casting a spell, she tosses four daggers in the air and they begin to spin and whirl around her on their own as she flies over near Elgan. AT15

Wreath of Blades

Yes it has; pretty sure.

Emrael floats over to Elgan's zone.

Marked off the pool point.

Pip begins playing

Haste on the party, then setting up the +3 Inspire

Pip sings in an abnormally high falsetto

"Tip toe
Through the Tcho tcho,
Lopping heads off
Making pretty blood splats,
Tip toe through the Tcho tcho,
With meeeeeeeee..."

Huzzzah!!!

Argh! Must. Keep. Up. With. Posts! ;P

(supposedly still invisible?) Elgan raises his arms, and calls into existence a pale grey thundercloud with veins of deep purple. This unusual and somewhat eerie sight does not prevent the cloud from unloading it's electrical cargo upon those below, albeit this particular spell does not usually make the sound halfway between a babies cry and a fiend's howling,...

Cast Lightning Storm, Target T1 at AW12. After this I'll get a free shot each round. :)

Elec Dmg to T1: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 5, 2, 4) = 19

AND caster lvl/chk/thingy: 1d20 + 16 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 16 + 6 = 26

The t'cho t'cho shrieks in pain as he's hit by lightning......

Satari!!!!!

At this point if somebody wants to take Satari's move that's cool.....I'm going to be gone for the next 2 or 4 hours though.

Make that next 7 hours from now. I gotta go in to work.

Huzzzah!!!!!!!1......

Satari bamf!s in between two t'cho t'chos and starts beating the crap out of them.

He uses his Dimensional Dervish ability to go to AT-AU 18-19 before unloading on T6. He's using 4-point Power Attack, Flurry of Blows and Dragon Style. Results include bardic bonuses.
Attack 1 hits AC 31 and does 32x1,5=48 points of damage.
Attack 2 hits AC 27 and does 29 damage.
Attack 3 hits AC 23 and does 30 damage.
Attack 4 hits AC 22 and does 33 damage.
Attack 5 hits AC 21 and does 31 damage
Attack 6 hits AC 19 and does 32 damage.
Attack 7 hits AC 11 and does 28 damage.

Ima workin on it.

Well, Satari beats T 6 down with three hits.

His other foe, T 3, is much more adept at blocking his blows or avoiding them....none of the other four attacks lands.

Now it's their attack.
