Round 9

Radoslav will move up to attack the rat, flanking with Erodel if it is possible, just moving if not.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 (+2 if flanking)

Oops, ignore that roll, I got distracted. It would have been intimidate, with a +2, going from sucks to really sucks.

Using intimidate is a standard action or 1 minute of conversation depending on what you wanted to do with it. I assume your intent is to demoralize, which would be at least a standard action.

well i've been talking the last few rounds... though I guess if we are going by strict roll playing instead of role playing, I can restrict my posts to actions by type.

Well, that'd be up to the GM, but if you're planning on claiming that a couple of rounds is approximately a minute for the purposes of "influence attitude" I'm unclear what exactly you think influencing it's attitude will allow you to do. Also, in my experience claiming that what you're doing is "roleplaying" instead of "roll playing" is simply an excuse to do something that the rules don't allow you to do. The game has rules and there's nothing stopping you from roleplaying. But if you want to use the skill to mechanically affect something, there are rules for that.

I figured you were doing it (antagonizing) the quasit, without rolling, just by reading the verbal back and forth! (Good job getting it pissed off so it tries to kill us again (thereby getting it to drop its invisibility)!! We would be waiting/sitting/plotting for minutes, otherwise)

I will not participate in discussions on roll vs role playing. Verbally sparring with npcs is fine and they may or may not participate in it depending upon their attitudes, but don't expect any mechanical benefits (like shaken) unless you spend whatever actions the skill requires of you. Also, you forgot your +4 bonus for being bigger than her.

round 9

Elransil, your arrows are scattered around on the ground.

Radoslav misses his swing at the rat and after Elransil steps away from it, the rat turns to bite at Radoslave, but misses him as well. Elransil and Manx both fire up at the quasit, but they both miss her. Pik stares at her and then the quasit disappears again.

Did I miss? Or just not make it there in 40 ft of movement??

Sigh. Somehow I missed a couple things in that last post.

Quasit stealth after invisibility: 1d20 + 38 ⇒ (3) + 38 = 41

Erodel moves up to the rat a slices it in two.

Round 10

Initiative: 10 AC 21 HP 24/24

Sheathing his sword, Erodel heads back towards Pik and Manx.

Shouting to the air: "The wizard is right, little demon! You are running out of minions, hiding will only delay your defeat!"

Move: (Move 20 ft towards the door, sheathe sword)
Standard: Intimidate! 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 4 = 26 +4 because I am bigger than it!

Round 10 HP 19/21, AC 18, Touch 14, FF 14 Saves Fort +4, Reflex + 7 Will +2
Conditions -1 to hit, saves vs. fear

"I'm tired of this," Elransil mutters as he reaches into his backpack for his bedroll and pulls it out. Then he looks around the room, waiting for a chance to see the flying demon low enough to attempt a grapple to stuff the annoying pest into his bedroll.

Grapple attempt 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 - 1 = 14

It's a move action or a full-round action to get the bedroll out of my backpack, I'm not sure which since this is a mundane backpack. As soon as he sees the demon low enough to grapple, he'll make the attempt. Since this could take multiple rounds, he'll just hold his action if the creature is out of reach. Assuming this takes multiple rounds, he'll probably move closer to the well since it seems to be special to this place and his proximity might provoke the creature. I'll make the grapple attempt in this post to save time, but the roll might be 1 higher is this last long enough that the debuff has worn off.

Round 10

Init: 24, AC: 16, HP: 16/16

Radoslav will take out his sling and attempt to hit the quasit again.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Round 10 (cont.)

As Elransil pulls out the bedroll. It's not an animal. I suspect that it's not nearly foolish enough to fly close enough for that to be effective. And if it does, I suggest just attempting to grab it with your hands. He looks around as he speaks. Patience. It will appear again and your arrows seem to be having an effect on it. We will eventually win this fight...unless we start acting rashly.

Oh, and Bane has a duration of minutes per level. I'm not sure what level the creature is, but since it's cast 2nd level spells I'm guessing we're looking at a 30+ round duration.

"Maybe we can upset it enough to act without thinking."

This creature has some form of DR even if the ranger doesn't know specifics since Manx didn't say anything about his knowledge rolls. Since only two of us are actually attacking it, it doesn't seem like we'll ever do enough damage through ranged attacks. I lost my only crit so far, so burst damage doesn't seem likely. And no one else has grabbed the other bow to help out. At this rate, we'll have to start picking up arrows to hurt it.

Well, at least one character in the party knows that your arrows bypass it's DR, he just hasn't said anything yet. With that said, it hasn't actually done any damage to us yet. It's annoying, but we're obviously winning and will win if we keep doing what we're doing.

Perhaps, but we're already beating it. While it plays its game, it hasn't hurt us at all, but we've hurt it. We are the cat, not the mouse. Be patient.

"Anyone have cold iron or weapons blessed by righteous gods? For this creature has an infernal resistance to most types of damage.
Unfortunately capture may be the only recourse, the nature of the creature allows it to heal itself."

What are the dimensions of the room? including ceiling height?

Elransil can feel his anger at the little creature thumping in his chest in time with his own heartbeat. Pik's words seem distant at first, but the talk of hunter and prey reminds him of his training.

"You sound like my father, Pik. Thank you for your wise words."

Then he hears Manx call out the creature's weakness and his frustration starts to drain away.

"I do. That must be why it keeps summoning creatures next to me. I have 27 arrows left and the other 13 are scattered on the floor."

Thanks guys, my character feels much less angry and frustrated now. I realize this round's action cannot be used for attacking with arrows. Elransil will still attempt a grapple if the creature comes within reach. How high up has the demon been appearing each round? I'm assuming out of range of both melee and point blank shot. If that's the case, he'll attempt to fire arrows again on round 11 if that's alright with you, DM WaterSprite. Only one, of course, since he'll have to draw his bow again. If all this talking took up more time than just a round, let me know and I'll adjust accordingly.

25 ft wide and 40 ft long, ceiling height 20 ft.
The quasit has been staying up near the ceiling. Out of range for melee and higher than you could jump.

round 10

Perhaps the quasit isn't pleased with Manx shouting out her weakness as he feels a light touch on the top of his head and then feels a burst of agony as her spell takes effect. 12 points damage, will save for half, dc 15 It then flies back up towards the ceiling. Erodel, since you stated you were heading back to manx and pik, I believe you are in position to get an AoO.

Well i think it goes before me, so I would not have been in position, or I would only have my gauntlet.. so either way!

Seeing the little beast emerge from its invisibility, Erodel makes a lunge for it!

Grapple:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17+....a bonus if I am bigger? I think its small.. or maybe Tiny

Provokes AoO

"NO!" he howls as the quasit slips beyond his grasp.

Sorry to hold people up!!

Running to the far corner of the room, Erodel shrinks into it as much as he is able. Rattling and shaking like a suit of possessed armour.

The little quasit flys up near the ceiling, looking down upon you all with hate in its beady little eyes.

Round 12

Init: 24, AC: 16, HP: 16/16
