Miteke's Legacy of Fire

Game Master miteke

Sorry, I was hoping Seif-al-Din would chime in too, I'll get a post up in the morning.

Keep in mind that these wands only have 5 charges So you are down to 2. Of course you could recharge with a spell from an appropriate school.

❖❖❖❖❖❖ Combat Card Round 1 ❖❖❖❖❖❖

Did Gnasher get his spell cast or If he's going to do it will it need to be the first round?

First round.

Do we want Urah to do anything with Seif and Shadow?

Ready to go, boss! Just... Remember I hate pain.

I keep reading his name as 'you're a bot' and think, nope just a product of an over active imagination...

He should cast Fly on Gnasher or Shadow.

Not a bad idea, Seif-al-Din any opinions?

Probably better to cast it on Gnasher - Shadow isn't trained to 'Fly'...

So with Seif-al-Din, Shadow and Urah going first, are you all staying up here and forcing them to come to us or are we headed to them?

Ooooh! What, using tactics and not charging into battle?

Ooooh! What, using tactics and not charging into battle?

Hey, charging into battle is a tactic.

I plan to stay up here at this point. If they stay poking out of the wall it would be an easy fight. So either they jump back in fully or come up.

Seif-al-Din, you doing ok? We can have Urah delay, or cast flight, but we're waiting for you to get the party started.

I already re-Air Walked everyone?

Sorry Seif-al-Din, I'd also figured that we hadn't redone the airwalk, that's why I let Urah cast fly on gnasher.

All good!

Sorry about the delay in posting, RL jumped up an bit my arse.

Not a problem.

miteke, did Gnasher's 32 not hit black?

missed that somehow. I was thinking rage takes an action, because it did in 2e before they changed it.

I will fix it when I feel better. Right now I am dealing with the flu.

I hope you feel better soon!

Hey Malgrim, round 2 is up.

Got back from urgent care/hospital and found out I have a UTI. Pretty exhausted so expect slower responses from me for a while until I do not feel like complete crap.

Uck, sorry to hear that miteke, get feeling better.

Feel better!

Seif, you are up!

Urah contemplates the usefulness of Bless, Prayer, etc.

I will be traveling all weekend. I doubt I will be able to post, so bot me as needed.

Feeling better. Pace should resume again soon.

Start thinking about levelling up and getting the next book in the series.

Glad to hear it :-) You only get one body, so it is important to look after it!

The battles in this book have been underwhelming, so I think that all monsters should have the advanced simple template in the next book if that is OK with you all.

Cool, Gnasher, being a gnoll, is a monster right? Advanced simple template here we come...

Erg.

I guess that is OK as long as you do not level up.

ummm... wait....What?

Silly Gnasher.
Watch what you wish for :)

Obherak slips into the stone and emerges behind Gnasher to take advantage of the flank. He wields a flaming falchion.

I'm having trouble picturing this, is he coming out of the wall? Gnasher is up in the air, I'm trying to sort out how to avoid the flank.

Also, Obherak didn't roll for the mirror image.

The room is shaped like this from a side view (sorry it could not be more accurat, but hopefully you get the idea. The room steps out and then in as you go up) with you somewhere around the X.

Where you float there is a 15' gap between the ceiling and the floor and a 5' gap between you and the south, west, upper, and lower walls. Or less since you are 10' high and not 5' high. The shaitan's have reach so if there is a wall within 10' of you, which there is in a number of directions, including south, they can emerge and hit you. The one direction you are safe from is from the center of the room. The shaitan to the north is 10' high due to size and his head is directly north of you.

I'll make that mirror image roll!

cool, if there is a place where gnasher can 5 ft step to where he can hit them with his polearm and they can't flank he will move there :)

That is tough. The center of the room is the location furthest from the walls, but then there is that 20' wide floating rock in the middle they can merge with and the whole reach thing. I'm not sure it is possible with so many stone faces and pretty much everything within reach of the center block or a wall.

Pity, but that does make sense. Thanks for taking the time to explain miteke.

I'm sure if we were sitting at a table you'd have a three-dimensional chamber built for our miniatures making it much easier
:)

At least the author did not get the bright idea to stage a battle in 4 dimensions.

Is the intimidate effective if any of the attacks hit?

Sort of, Cornugon Smash uses the intimidation if he hits with a power attack, since he's using the rage power reckless abandon most of his attacks will be with power attack. The only exception I can see if he's trying to keep his armor class higher, which normally isn't a concern.

yeah, I hate 3D fights as well.

@Gnasher

Looking at the map, Gnasher can only do a 5' step by ascending at a 45 degree angle above black since black is in the way of all other attempts.

[]Check[/b]You generally need only make a Fly check when you are attempting a complex maneuver. Without making a check, a flying creature can remain flying at the end of its turn so long as it moves a distance greater than half its speed. It can also turn up to 45 degrees by sacrificing 5 feet of movement, can rise at half speed at an angle of 45 degrees

The movements aren't greater than a 45 degree so they shouldn't be a complex maneuver. But the skill check he would need to make, that I keep forgetting, would be to hover, which is a DC 15. If he fails the hover check he would need to fly at half speed.

hover DC 15: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

No, you are right. Glad you reread it. I'm not sure why I read greater than 45 degrees as greater than or equal to.

Wow he hits hard, what's the best healing spell urah has? I think he should be able to fly towards gnasher and use a cure wounds without putting himself in danger.

Yes, Urah could and can actually 5' step towards you to deliver the spell because of how high you are. The best he has is a Cure Moderate Wounds because Mystic Theurge does not give him the free third level CSW that most oracles get. But he does have a breath of life scroll. To cast it though, he has to make a caster level check (DC = 10) to cast the spell successfully. With Urah's CL at 6 the odds are good but not great (1-3 fails).

Which would you prefer?

Let's save the scroll and cast CMW, worst case gnasher can use a spell next round instead of attack.

I should have time to level up tomorrow.

STill working on the purchased items and the calculated attacks, but here's the other stuff.

HP: 1d10 ⇒ 7

Gnasher level 11
+ 1 BAB,
Greater Bloodrage (Su) At 11th level, when a bloodrager' bonus on melee attack rolls, melee damage rolls, thrown weapon damage rolls, and Will saves while raging increases to +3. In addition, the amount of temporary hit points gained when entering a rage increases to 3 per Hit Die. In addition, upon entering a bloodrage, the bloodrager can apply the effects a bloodrager spell he knows of 2nd level or lower to himself. The spell must have a range of touch or personal. If the spell’s duration is greater than 1 round, it instead lasts for the duration of the bloodrage. This use consumes a bloodrager spell slot, as if he had cast the spell; he must have the spell slot available to take advantage of this effect. Greater bloodrage counts as the barbarian’s greater rage ability for the purposes of feat prerequisites, feat abilities, magic item abilities, and spell effects.
spells learned + 1 @ 3rd lvl: fly
skills @ 4, + 1 Fly, Intimidate, Perception, and Survival
