On my initiative (16), since Kemnebi asked me to swap Thoron instead of him, and the psicrystal should now be at the tunnel entrance, I will swap Thoron for the psicrystal. Since the crystal is a construct, it should be immune to some of the creature's abilities, and that'll get Thoron out of the grapple.

Okay for Round 2 Actions summery from the main room. Llvenoc attacks the Sheet Phantom. Grymbol attacks a Shade. Astinos I believe is trying to intercept the Shade that is near Namaste. He is waiting for its initiave to land. Lady March was following him with a vial of holy water in hand. Namaste doesn't see the Shade that is near her. Namaste shouts a warning to the Jewel about a shade she thinks is going to attack her and is planning on swapping Jewel with the Psi Crystal. If that happens then I will interpose myself between the Sheet Phantom and the Jewel. Though I don't think I can stop its attack of opportunity on her. Kemnebi casts the Light of Lunia spell and thinks he just drew aggro from the shade near Jewel. So he grabs June and they run toward the pool with all the skeletons washing bathe towels. Trying to make enough distance so the shade can't attack him this turn. He also arms himself ready for melee. Thoron pops into the middle of the slippery inclined tunnel that is icing over. He drops his dagger and arms himself with a magic crossbow. He shoots at a shade. Only action we are waiting on PC wise is which shade did Thoron shoot at. The one near Namaste, the one near Jewel, or the one attacking Grymbol. NPC wise we are waiting on The Jewel, Lady March, Falco the familiar, and the mysterious bird watching all of us. They are the only ones that have not stated an action.
As far as party positioning. Llvenoc and the Psi Crystal are at the carts. Thoron is in the tunnel we came from. Kemnebi and June are between the carts and the pool of water. Which is the right side of the room. Namaste, Falco, and Grymbol are in the middle of the room next to the discolored area. Astinos and March I believe are back in the middle of the room. Jewel is 30ft from Llvenoc toward the center of the room where the majority of the party is. The mysterious bird is on the far left side sitting on a skeleton and hasn't moved. Hope that helps. Correct me if I am wrong.

ok; before I do the round two stuff in the main room; need a few posts from peeps to complete round two actions as they are before my mobs.
If Jewel is not actually being attacked, then I will rescind my action and do something else instead, if you'll allow. Assuming I understand the particular vulnerabilities of Shadows (Knowledge (religion): 1d20+7=16, the psionic powers are broken down differently than the schools of magic, so "Force" is not a descriptor in Psionic powers. What I'm wondering, for the power "Energy Push," it is psychokinetic, and throws fire, cold, electrical or sonic energy at the target (user's choice). Would any of those, especially sonic, qualify as the equivalent of "Force" energy? I'm still going to make an attack with it, but your ruling on that will determine whether I have to make an additional check to overcome the 50% miss chance on non-Force-based magical/psionic attacks.

Actually, I had stated that I was only going to do that if the psicrystal had managed to get clear of the Sheet Phantom, so that I wouldn't be swapping her right into its attack range.
PS - I've gotta run and help someone set up their modem, but I'll back in a few hours.

The snakes weave and dodge, but alas; another stab and claw wound; it is curious that their morale is so high; they strike back. miss, miss.

My bad; Thoronhen; I need a balance roll from you; looking back at where the psicrystal was there were rollers and the blades below; your unexpected arrival there would require a balance roll.

Okay, since I had misunderstood where the Shadows were and what they were doing, instead of Dimension Swapping Jewel to a safer place (since she isn't being attacked), I'm going to Energy Push (fire) at one of the Shadows. I'm spending four extra power points to boost the damage to two more d6 and to increase the Save DC by 2. In case you rule that Psychokinesis is not equivalent of a Force spell, the roll for miss chance against incorporeal is 1d100=81 (don't know if you're going high or low on those).
Power Description: Upon manifesting this power, you choose cold, electricity, fire, or sonic. You project a solid blast of energy of the chosen type at a target, dealing it 2d6 points of damage. In addition, if a subject of up to one size category larger than you fails a Strength check (DC equal to the save DC of this power), the driving force of the energy blast pushes it back 5 feet plus another 5 feet for every 5 points of damage it takes. If a wall or other solid object prevents the subject from being pushed back, the subject instead slams into the object and takes an extra 2d6 points of damage from the impact (no save). The movement caused by energy push does not provoke attacks of opportunity. (Sounds similar to high-powered Gust of Wind, don't know if it would affect incorporeal in that way). "Fire" - A blast of this energy type deals +1 point of damage per die (damage from impact remains at 2d6 points). Augment: For every 2 additional power points you spend, this power’s damage increases by one die (d6) and its save DC increases by 1. The damage increase applies to both the initial blast and any damage from impact with an object.
If the attack affects incorporeal:
4d6+4=20 Reflex save for half (Save DC = 21 [10 + Manifester Level 7 + Power Level 2 + Augmentation 2]
If the impact with solid object effect also applies: 4d6=15

This is a pretty good summary; dont have time to go through it closely; am swamped busy at work; I need to know how far kenembi moved to make sure that Astinos can or cannot complete his charge; looks like it will be successful; the shadows have pleanty of movement to get to him regardless of how he moves. March is gracefully following holding the holy water vial.
Also; the Crow is up in the left archer tower on top of a visible large head of a skeleton. June is trying to coax him into coming to her as Kenembi requested of her.

ok; Llevenoc; take 6 pts from negative plane energy from touching the creature; attempt to make opposed grapple DC 27.
Wow its grapple is tough! Opposed grapple roll d20=18+4(base attack)+4(Str)+4(Fystors spell)=30 Wasn't for Fystors spell it would have had me. Thought I was going to have to use Mercurys blessing on that one.
I struggle with the undead phantom as its touch of undeath sears my skin with its corruption. Only breathing a sigh of relieve as a gain the upper hand in this deadly wrestling match.
| Kemnebi 'Djal Ibenbast' |
I need to know how far kenembi moved to make sure that Astinos can or cannot complete his charge; looks like it will be successful; the shadows have pleanty of movement to get to him regardless of how he moves.
That's what I was afraid of. I was TRYING to get out of their movement range, ah well. I would have made sure that I did not block Astinos movement. SInce I can't get out of their range, I won't go very far. Say 5' and I'll call it a shift? (I don't suppose that Shadows are weaker/easier to hit in Bright light? Just wishing.) ;)

hehe I didnt roll that good; it is large so that is pretty good bonus.

well; easier to see so you dont get the miss chance; bright light makes them visible instead of invisible; well; they attack; but Iunious jumps in front of one at takes it attacks; sacrificing herself for you; you are still swooning a bit from her kiss; was electric; make all your little hairs stand up, tickled your toes.
anyway; she gets mauled by one; the other attacks you; misses horribly once; hits once; 3 str damage;
Astinos can now attack it; keep in mind his challenge is against the nearby Phantom and not these Shadows.

Gah keep getting all those spell affects we were given so I think I add +4 to all the hit and damage rolls
Don't think you get it for damage rolls, but I did forget you also have cats grace on you cast by Lorm. So it might change your ac some.

Eyes still half-lidded and swaying slightly from the electric effects of her kiss, Kemnebi doesn't realize what is happening as he feels her move. Until he hears her groan as the Shadow attacks.
"NO!!!" He screams both aloud and mentally as she starts to collapse, leaving himself wide open to the second shadows attack. His grunt of pain as the cold slices through him is more of a growl.

no flanking bonus on non corporal creatures; has no back; doesnt take crits.; you hit and the creature flickers; hate pouring from it is palatable.

ok; if everyones actions are done; and i think they are; lets start the new round ;still you see no activity from the skellies.
Neb; your not in the same round sequence as these guys; but that is no problem; just go the same time; your actions are actually a bit ahead of them. you should be thinking this is awfully strange behavior from snakes to fight to the death and act like this; you can assume they are being controlled by something.
ok; I am loosing track a bit here and dont have time to sort it out just now; the Shadows each have 51 hps; they fail the reflex save from the mental blast, but I am not sure which got blasted; the one on kenemebi; the girl; or grymbles.; I am thinking all three are still up and the phantom is just a bit wounded.

The one on Kemnebi. I figured the girls we got from Balfic are probably more than they appear and quite capable of handling themselves, and Grymbol seems to be a fighter type, so Kemnebi seems to be the most vulnerable of the three to melee situations.

Hearing Kemnebi and June cry out; I know some of the enemy got behind me. I silently curse myself knowing I won my agrument about trying to arm the ladies so they could protect themselves. Cursing myself for not being able to assist Nebibet who is fighting for her life alone. Cursing myself for not being able to be everywhere at once. I attack the Sheet Phantom again. d20=9+13+4(fystors spell)=26 Damage d6=3+6=9. I am weary of its counter attack. Trying to best defend myself so I don't get enveloped by its grasp.

Can Nebibit hear these thoughts over the mindlink?
| Llvenoc |
Okay went through the whole fight and added up the damage we think we have done. Since we don't know damage reductions, immunities, magic plus's, or attacks we think we hit with. Have a notebook by the desk to keep a tally of the damage.
Sheet Phantom-Llvenoc Ghost touched Rapier 11, 11, 9,=31 Kemnebi Magic Missle =13, Thoron attacked =14, Jewel Wand of Magic Missles twice=? So far known damage =58pts.
Shadow on Grymbol hit twice for 40pts. By Grymbols Fey enchanted sword.
Shadow on June hit by Thoron with Lightning Xbow 19pts.
Shadow on Kemnebi hit by Namaste with Engery Push for 15. Astinos with magic spear for 15. Total 30pts.
Hope that helps.
| Namaste |
Shadow on Kemnebi hit by Namaste with Engery Push for 15. Astinos with magic spear for 15. Total 30pts.
With Namaste's attack, the initial damage was actually 20, with an additional 15 if the secondary impact aspect of the power comes into play. The Energy Push power has two aspects - first is the initial attack, which is what did the 20. The second aspect is the "push," which blasts the target back 5' + 5' for every 5 points damage (I may have neglected to mention that). So that attack would blast the Shadow back 25 feet, and if the blast caused it to impacted a solid surface such as a wall, or one of the carts, it would take an additional 4d6 damage (which was the 15 you saw). However, the latter impact damage would probably only apply if the wall or cart had the ghost touch property or was somehow affected by a Force spell like Wall of Force, Shield, some kind of Armor spell, Explosive Runes, or something like that.
So figuring on only the initial damage, coupled with Astinos' damage, it will have taken 35 (50 if the secondary impact damage somehow applies).
| Astinos |
I strike again, trying to destroy the vile creature attacking Kemnebi.If it was pushed by Namaste's attack I rush it, charging (add 2 to attack roll)
1d20=17+12+6(bonuses)=35. 83% to hit with magic weapon. Damage 1d8+9=15. Swift action, Test of Mettle to draw all enemies in 100' range with intelligence of 3 or higher to attack only me. DC 18 will save.

no; these are just idle thoughts; they dont go through the link; only actual directed conversations go through the link; see prior post on this topic. Some hint of frustration might come through but not much as Namaste is the central link for this and everything gets filtered through her.

The two shadows nearby turn to attack you on init 12; Kenembi can make attack of oppurtunity; the Sheet Phantom resists; the Shadow on Grymble moves toward Astinos also on 12; Grymble can make an attack of oppurtunity on that init number also.
With the light in the area near kenembi; there is much less miss chance due to incorporality.
Innuius has one of the shadows grapples; it is a mystery how she is doing that; but it doesnt break her grapple this round; how many rounds does this effect work; does it try again next round too Astinos?
the sheet Phantom attacks Llevenoc with touch attack/improved grapple; take 8 damage; save dc for grapple; 31
Jewel; seeing Llevenoc wince in pain; will let 3 magic missles go from the wand she is using; doing 3d4+3 damage.
the crow flies over and lands on the cart; it squakes a bit in crow and the three shadows cower and are affected by cower rules. This happens in init 11. the Su power of the crow overcoming the EX power of the knight ability. keep in mind in this instance I had them move to attack due to their unnatural hatred of hte living and good; but ordinarily per the Test; no enemy has to move if it would cause an attack of oppurtunity.; also, keep in mind, the lowest level you can affect is CR4 as your level 6.
