they can climb.

The visuals here just get worse and worse. :§

New page, new map.

Mothman 2 attacks Gjetost, and hits once for a grand total of 10 hp damage.

Mothman 1 hits air elemental 2 3 times for a total of 12 hp damage.

Mothman 3 casts.......

12d6 damage to elemental 3, Gjetost, Elgan, Emrael, Satari, Pip, and Altai.

DC 26 fort save gives half damage.....you feel like you're being dehydrated and mummified.

Mothman 4 appears on the scene as well.

Group's attack!!!!

Quick summary: EL3 is dead. Altai takes full damage, which is reduced as Claw soaks up half of it. Gjetost takes half damage.

Not to a whiner (j/k - I'm a giant whiner), but don't forget this from ast turn - I didn't see a reply to this:

Gjetost closes in on the nearest mothman.

Move to I-J 9-10 before unleashing on M2, using Power Attack and Vital Strike. Attack roll 12+29-4(PA)=AC 38, damage 4d8+23+12(PA)=54. Attacks are magical and slashing.

"Enough! I have had it with your foul sorceries and your nightmare surroundings! Now you die!" Gjetost tears into the closest mothman.

No move. Full attack on M2 using 4-point Power Attack. All attacks are magical and slashing.
Attack 1: 12+29+1(Haste)+3(bard)-4(PA)=AC 41, damage 2d8+23+12(PA)+3(bard)=48.
Attack 2: 11+24+1(Haste)+3(bard)-4(PA)=AC 35, damage 2d8+23+12(PA)+3(bard)=49.
Attack 1: 13+19+1(Haste)+3(bard)-4(PA)=AC 32, damage 2d8+23+12(PA)+3(bard)=46.
Attack 4 (bonus from Haste): 10+29+1(Haste)+3(bard)-4(PA)=AC 39, damage 2d8+23+12(PA)+3(bard)=50.

Further actions (both from Altai and his pet elementals) depend on the health of M2 and whether Elgan actually casts a spell higher than level 2. ;P

Satari shudders briefly as his body dehydrates under the mothman's assault, but the old man's flesh is already withered and toughened by long decades of training. Fort: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29. Take 22 damage.

"Stay safe. I'll be back if needed but that spell was unpleasant."

Seeing that the mothmen are content to attack from range with their fell sorceries, Satari moves to meet them. Or rather, slides between dimensions and appears above the caster mothman, fists and feet driving it down into the air elemental below.

Abundant Step to E-F 12-13. Flanking with the air elemental.
Flurry. Dragon Stance. Dragon Ferocity. Inspire Courage. Flanking. Haste. Ki Strike (adamantine). Power Attack.

Gjetost destroys M2.

Further actions (both from Altai and his pet elementals) depend on the health of M2 and whether Elgan actually casts a spell higher than level 2. ;P

Right on.

And, Satari pummels m3 out of existence.

Altai and critters, Elgan, Emrael, and Pip to go.

Altai zaps M4 with an Empowered enervation spell. Attack roll 13+11+1(haste)+3(bard)=touch AC 28, damage 1d4=3x1.5=5 levels. Crucially important: SR check 13+16+1(Spell Penetration)=30. Hopefully that'll wreak havoc with his spell-like abilities.

He's hit......he looks droopier by about 5 levels' worth.

Fort DC 26: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23 She takes the full damage.

"Ungh. That was unpleasant."

Emrael charges the latest mothman arrival, striking hard with Cutter two-handed.

Attack: 1d20 + 24 - 3 - 3 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 24 - 3 - 3 + 1 + 3 = 26 Power Attack, Combat Expertise, Haste, Inspire Courage
Current AC 44

Damage: 1d8 + 23 ⇒ (1) + 23 = 24

She hits the moth man; does some damage.

worked today. working tomorrow. going to bed early.

Gjetost destroys M2.

Cool. In that case, he advances 5' to H-I 10-11 once he's done chopping.

Map clarification, is 25 & 26 close by ElganElemental our enemies?

What are all of the green'd''s?

Trying to figure the best place to drop the carpet swarm of DOOM. At 16 rounds, it should be around most if not all of this fight. :)

No; those are dudes in cocoons. All the lime green single squares are cocoons, and the big multisquare lime green's are "igloos."

Elgan; Pip.

"Deh heck wit' Dis',..." ElganElemental grumbles. Before flying over and pummeling M4 up close and personal.

Currently seeing only one valid target, so going old school until the rest show up. :) Flying over to R/S,9/10, and using REACH to pummel M4 over 'e''s head.

2 Slam att, (standard, not counting Haste or anything) + dmg from amulet (Fire, Ice, Elec)

1d20 + 28 ⇒ (14) + 28 = 422d6 + 18 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 6) + 18 + (4) + (3) + (1) = 341d20 + 28 ⇒ (16) + 28 = 442d6 + 18 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 6) + 18 + (3) + (1) + (4) = 36

Att#1 hits AC 42, 34 dmg, Att#2 hits AC 44, 36 dmg

Lol, I'm like a giant Pokemon! :D

Mr. Pikachu Druid lands two solid blows. It seems somewhat resistant, but not enough........it's getting beat to hell.

Pip's turn.

Oh,.....and the orange crap, that looks like cosmic glowing applesauce, at the bottom of the tower starts churning now, bubbling, and it is swirling around like an applesauce hurricane.

You all get a vision, of the massive red eye storm on Jupiter that's been going for millions of years and a T rex could've seen it back in the dinosaur days if he had a telescope......

"Best we were finished quickly. I don't like the thought of being caught in that storm."

It's waaaaaaay down at the bottom of the tower; it doesn't seem to be coming up the tower at this time.

Patrick hasn't been around for a while, and this seems like something he would do:

Pip scans the ongoing fights and quickly selects a target.

He's firing at M1, using Rapid Shot, Manyshot, Precise Shot, Deadly Aim and +1 holy arrows. I make the assumption is that these guys are evil. Attacks are magical, piercing and Good. So:
Attack 1 (w/Manyshot): 13+23+1(lower target)+1(Haste)+3(bardic music)+2(holy arrows)-3(Deadly Aim)-2(Rapid Shot)=AC 38, damage 2d6+4(bow)+6(bardic music)+12(Deadly Aim)+4d6(Holy arrows)=30+15 holy.
Attack 2: 8+23+1+1+3+2-3-2=AC 33, damage 1d6+2+3+6+2d6=15+8 holy.
Attack 3: 11+18+1+1+3+2-3-2=AC 31, damage 1d6+2+3+6+2d6=13+9 holy.
Attack 4 (bonus from Haste): 10+23+1+1+3+2-3-2=AC 35, damage 1d6+2+3+6+2d6=14+10 holy.

Oh,.....and the orange crap, that looks like cosmic glowing applesauce, at the bottom of the tower starts churning now, bubbling, and it is swirling around like an applesauce hurricane.

Which reminds me - is it oppressively hot in here? I.e. is the glop magma-ish, or is it more like toxic runoff from Nyarlathotep's pig rendering and nuclear waste processing plant?

re: the applesauce,....more the latter. It is chilly in here, though not overly so.

Pip's barrage of sacred arrows destroys utterly M1.

Their attack; will post soonish.

4 more appear extruding from the second igloo. They look.....not so demonic.

attacks in progress....

M4, the last of the first batch, attacks Emrael.

Her current ac is 44.

It misses her.

mi casts on Gjetost. d.c. 21 wil save or he pings back to Asgard.

mii casts disintegrate at Satari.

24d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 6, 1, 2, 2, 5, 1, 5, 6, 2, 4, 6, 5, 6, 5, 3, 2, 6, 5) = 92 dammage. Fort save d.c.22. If he makes the fort save, he only takes 5d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 4, 3, 3) = 18 in damage.

The other two appeared at R 22 and M 23. They cast, and now they are at P1 and O3......one next to Altai, the other one next to Pip.

The applesauce hurricane spins more and more......it looks to be discorporating; looks more like a tube of clouds than applesauce. A slight warm wind is blowing now from the tube. The wind smells like something unsavoury, something chemically,......from an alchemist's laboratory.

Group's attack!!!!!!

mi casts on Gjetost. d.c. 21 wil save or he pings back to Asgard.

Will save 12+9+3(bard)=24. Phew! Losing Gjetost now would have been very inconvenient.

Is this a gate opening to somehere else? Know (arcana) 11+29=40, Spellcraft 13+31=44.

Yes.

"Thank you, Elgan. You are such a gentleman."

Emrael opens up on the mothman she just attacked after spending a point from her arcane pool to enhance her attacks.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 24 - 3 - 3 + 1 + 3 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 24 - 3 - 3 + 1 + 3 + 7 = 49 Power Attack, Combat Expertise, Haste, Inspire Courage, Arcane Accuracy

Damage: 1d8 + 23 ⇒ (7) + 23 = 30

Whoa - three potential crits

Confirm 1: 1d20 + 24 - 3 - 3 + 1 + 3 + 7 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 24 - 3 - 3 + 1 + 3 + 7 + 7 = 43 Power Attack, Combat Expertise, Haste, Inspire Courage, Arcane Accuracy, Critical Perfection

Damage: 1d8 + 23 ⇒ (6) + 23 = 29

Wow - based on Elgan's rolls that hit, that could be 137 points of damage without casting any spells. Not bad.

Emrael demolishes the last of the first set of mothmen,.....even as the second wave starts in.

"Muh Pleshuh Deauh." ElganElemental rumbles to the lovely elvin swordswoman.

He turns to look at the emerging mothmen.

Now DAT jes' Won' dew et all!" He rumbles, and waves an imperious flaming appendage.

A living carpet appears, and swarms on, over and under the emerging mothmen.

Dropping Creeping Doom on top of the newcomers. It is 4 separate swarms, they must appear next to each other, but then can be commanded to go their own ways. They currently occupy N 20 - Q 20, so both mi & mii take the full effect of the nasty bitey things. And no SR. :)

Yes.

Iiiiiiiinteresting. Just to cover all the bases - is there anyone in here casting a Gate spell? I have See invisible and True seeing running.

Nobody is casting one......that you can see.

mi and mii screech eerily as the centipedes land amongst them.

Elgan feels loved and admired.....it's kinda icky though.

I guess Satari and Pip are up to bat.

Oh, and Altai......guess he hasn't "acted" this round, just asked some cogent questions.

5' step to N1 before casting Greater dispel magic at the opening gate. Dispel check 14+16=30. Do specialists get bonuses to dispel spells from their own school, or was that a 3.5 rule? If so, I'm a Conjuration specialist, and Gate is a conjuration/summoning effect.

Lol this is a head scratcher, so I gotta do some research.

Gjetost flies back up towards the tower top.

Move to P-Q 2-3 before attacking M3, using Power Attack and Vital Strike. Attack roll 10+29+3(bard)+1(haste)-4(PA)=AC 39, damage 4d8+23+3(bard)+12(PA)=55. Attacks are magical and slashing.

The elementals are useless for fighting. Altai instead directs them to tear open the coccoons in G5 and K4 and ferry the occupants safely outside.

Has Claw dropped off the screamer yet? If so, he flies back up towards the tower entrance.
