The Avalon Chronicles

Game Master lynora

"I would not even know where to start, to get the net off if it is magic." Enre says.

Other than debuffing magic and some teleportation magic Enre, does not know much about messing with magic.

It's a net. Cut carefully.

"Fan-tastic..."
Krays will target the net with a greater dispel
1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37 Dispel check

wow damn near maxed!

If the greater dispel doesn't work (hopefully it did), I believe Fei can take down that net, since there's magic/psionic energy to the thing. I'll wait for the results before I post anything...

Ok that's cool. He's not thinking it will remove the physical net, he's just hopeing it'll stop whatever dastardly effect it has on Ephebe long enough for him to get her down.

That's the result Fei is going for as well. His advantage is that he doesn't need to roll to do it...but he has to be able to get his hands on the thing.

Enre looks at Fei before saying " Seem like the Champion of Madness got Ephebe. The Champions are the only ones who can save her it seems." Turning to Jim "Champions work for some high power to farther their goals.I am guessing yours talked to you recently? You are now part of the club." He than says "Lets go save the day I guess." Enre say something again before his armor seems to change again this time making it seem as a part of him now than just armor, he than raises his head to the air breaths in before putting a hand on Fei's and Jim's shoulder. He than begins to speak and they fade out.

"But..."

Enre, Jim, and Fei show up a moment later with an out of breath Keme just behind them.

Before them they see a purple dragon trussed up in a silver net unable to move. In front of the dragon is Lysander in the process of calling down a flame strike behind a stone wall that is currently blocking their ability to see the Champion of Madness. And the floor is starting to shake.

"....Oh dear."

Ryo doesn't even flinch as the blade slices into him. For that moment, the man is solid enough to hold a blade. Ryo's eyes flare as a card appears in his hand and he unleashes it's magic.

Fire fills the corridor a split-second later, followed by another wave of flame almost immediately.

Class Feature: Weave the Sources

Elemental(Fire) Cone of Cold
Fire Damage(DC 25 Reflex for Half):15d6

Energy Burst(Fire)(DC 25 Reflex for Half):15d6

Miss chance, bah! I can't miss with area effects!

The majority of the shadowstrikers seem unaffected by the damage, though a couple did take some damage, including the old man. It just wasn't as much as Ryo was expecting. The old man grinned at him as the poison from his blade started to seep into Ryo's system.

This guy is expecting Ryo to keel over....he obviously doesn't understand how nanites work. :)

"Fan-tastic..."

Krays will target the net with a greater dispel
1d20+18 Dispel check

Wow, way to go! You hit the DC exactly. :)

The magic sustaining the silver net winks out temporarily and Ephebe takes advantage of the moment to teleport out of the net and down to the ground, shifting back to her human form as she did.

"I am so glad to see you right now."

"Is that the best you got?" Ryo asks the old man as he manipulates the remaining bits of fire to stick around using the easiest fuel source: oxygen. "You'll need stronger poison thatn that."

Since Ryo can't seem to punch them easily or burn them down, he's going for suffocation while slowing down his body's own use of oxygen so he can hold his breath long enough to outlast the Shadowstrikers. It's not the first time he's psychically altered how his body works.

At this point very large tentacles burst through the floor.

CMB to initiate grapple. 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (3) + 32 = 35

In the tunnels or at the net?

Sytt shouts in annoyance as tentacles sprout up from the floor of his tavern and start attacking people.
;)

::Sorry it took me so long!:: He says hugging his mate

The Shadowstrikers seems to blur together into one large whirling blade that comes hurtling down the hall towards Ryo, only the old man standing back, clearly directing the others.

Ref DC 28 for half damage
Damage: 11d10 + 22 ⇒ (7, 8, 4, 7, 3, 1, 9, 6, 6, 1, 4) + 22 = 78

We'll see who can hold their breath longer. :)

In the tunnels or at the net?

Sorry, should have been more specific. This is the result of Chan's summoning, so at the net.

Meanwhile, back at the workshop...

A slightly rumpled looking Aananda walks in as Jiminy and Fieri are getting things ready to go.

"Do you have the - "

"Yeah, Mom, we've got it. See, I told you she'd want to come too...okay, everything is all set, everybody take a kit here. We'd better be ready to roll as soon as Grandma gets here."

"Exactly. I am incredibly irked at not being able to help my granddaughter right now and want something to vent that frustration on," Ryleh said grimly as she came striding into the workshop.

Reflex:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31

Ryo steps to the side and aim a short, powerful punch right at the blade.

Blade made of soft squishy people vs adamantine arm made by Aananada... I'm betting on the arm.

Quick question: Did Krays stay outside Chan's wall to dispel the net? Because we have a post where he and Ryuzo went ethereal and passed through the wall, then we have Krays and Ephebe embracing.

Please to fix confuse... (o_O)

Sorry, should have been more specific. This is the result of Chan's summoning, so at the net.

Well, I'm safe then. That thing can't grab with a roll of 3! :)

Jumping over the tentacle, Lysander continues heading for Chan.

Krays sees the tentacles, and extends his etherealness to Ephebe
::We really should make sure he's dead this time, hmm?::
She can still feel the rage underlying everything through their bond...

Krays was offering to turn people ethereal to breach the wall...Ryuzo accepted, Enre declined. Ryuzo went ahead into the wall. When Enre decided he didn't want to deal with the net either, Krays did, instead of going into the wall. The only one that is on the other side of the wall with Chan, atm, is an ethereal Ryuzo, waiting to see what he can attack...I guess I'm assuming the net wasn't on the same side of the wall as Chan was.

::We really should make sure he stays dead this time.::
Ephebe is distinctly more cautious at the moment, having faced off with Uncle Chan before.

Enre punches a tentacle that tries to grab at him before saying "Now there are tentacles. Great."

How heavy is this wall?

Chan smiles at Ryuzo.

Will save DC 26

How heavy is this wall?

It's a one foot thick stone wall. Not sure how heavy it is.

Okay, got it. Blasted lack of sleep is jacking with my cognitive skills this week. Or I can blame this on being 40. Yeah. (^.^)

Fei moves around the floor avoiding the large tentacles that have sprouted up around them.

"Can either of you bring down that wall down quickly?" he asks Ephebe and Krays.

What kind of attack is this? It's important to know...

I'm assuming that the wall is still up? If not, this post doesn't matter, and you can disregard it, other than the buffs.

Jim buffs a little One device, Enlarge Person and Shield, and starts flying towards the wall, his hand beginning to spin, and forming a drill.

Jim's hand, while in drill form, gives him a burrow speed of 30 feet. In the description of the ability, it says I can tunnel through dirt and rock, and unless this wall o' stone is special, which I'm not saying it isn't, I should be able to tunnel through wth no problem. I'd prefer to leave a hole large enough for others, but if I can't, that's fine.

Mind-affecting.

It's normal rock. Chan can reshape it at will cause he has some earthbending ability, but once it's shaped it's not anything special.

Alright then, tunneling it is.

Please to inform, what kits am I supposed to grab? :)

Seeing Jim start to tunnel through the wall Enre follows after him.

Man I wanted to throw it, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how much it would weigh.

I'm sure, between the two of us, we could've. Heck I could triple your carrying capacity as well, and then we'd be able to lift and therow it without a problem.

Ok, +2 then. Ryuzo also has SR 26. Will save 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29gotta love monk bonuses :)

Please to inform, what kits am I supposed to grab? :)

Some fun gadgets that have been put together for your use on this mission. Starting with a personal starcaster to get you to your destination. :)

And there is no way you guys were throwing a wall that was rooted to the floor and ceiling. Break, sure, throw no.:)

Ok, +2 then. Ryuzo also has SR 26. Will save 1d20+19gotta love monk bonuses :)

Okay so Ryuzo takes 5d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 4, 4, 6) = 26 damage.

Since the alternative was death, that's not so bad. :)

Ryuzo smiles back...

2 possible crits:
Attack 1 to crit: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (12) + 30 = 42Damage: 2d10 + 11 ⇒ (4, 5) + 11 = 20
Attack 2 to crit: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (20) + 25 = 45Damage: 2d10 + 11 ⇒ (10, 7) + 11 = 28

Reflex:1d20+15

Ryo steps to the side and aim a short, powerful punch right at the blade.

Blade made of soft squishy people vs adamantine arm made by Aananada... I'm betting on the arm.

The blade falls apart leaving all but the old man prone and dazed by the sudden change in direction.

The old man calls forth oily smoke that snakes towards Ryo, surrounding him so that he couldn't see.

Will Jim's drilling leave a way to get through the wall, or will it seal up behind him?

You'll have a round before Chan can divert attention back to the stonework.

Ryo calms his mind and looks into the future, using his psychic abilities to figure out where to go, when to dodge, and where to punch.

Ryuzo smiles back...

** spoiler omitted **

2 possible crits:
Attack 1 to crit: 1d20 + 30Damage: 2d10 + 11
Attack 2 to crit: 1d20 + 25Damage: 2d10 + 11

Ryuzo only hit twice, but he hit with plenty of power. Chan winced and his eyes glowed with anger.

"You will regret that."

You'll have a round before Chan can divert attention back to the stonework.

Righty-o. Then (for once) I will take the short track into the middle of things ;)

Seeing Jim start to bore a large hole through the wall, Fei decides to take advantage of the opportunity and follows him through to the other side.

Phaeze picks up one of the kits and begins looking through it so he can know what is inside.
