It Came from Hollow Mountain

Game Master DEREK LANE 127

"Roscoe, we need the glitterdust now! Corstela and another one are approaching invisibly, 20' straight out from the stairs!"

So, retconning last damage, you wouldn't have taken any lethal damage, you'd have full 35hp. Instead, only 4pts of non-lethal dmg, totaling 35hp of non-lethal. The two being equal, Frantino is now staggered. Only a move or a standard, not both. This impacts your next post.

Waiting to see how the team does this round before seeing what options Frantino has, since he's after Doc anyway.

Seeing that battle has been joined by the wolf, Nasir presses his attack on Melisandre.

[dice=Scimitar]1d20+10+1+1-2
[dice=Dmg]1d6+4+2+1-2
[dice=Shield Bash]1d20+8+1+1-2
[dice=Dmg]1d3+4+2+1-2

WTF?!?!? Now I think that the GM has hacked the algorithm.

Jeez!!! GM Derek, what have you been up to?

Hearing Frantino, Ayita as a swift action takes the "Wolf" focus so she has scent, at least. She tries to be aware of the area Frantino indicated, and hopes to help protect her companions too.

(Who has the gauntlets?)

She gives Yazhi a complex hand signal for the "flank" trick (free) so that Yazhi goes over Frantino (she drops a finger from her last kill onto Frantino's shirt). Ayita then starts moving, through the window and over to flank with Yazhi. Yazhi then attacks, with the benefit of the flank for Teamwork feats -- Precise Strike and Outflank.

If Yazhi can go over onto the stairs to get into the flank, to avoid the AoO from at least Green, without getting too close to where the invisible people are, she could do that to "only" provoke from one opponent. I am a little unclear on where the opponents are, but I bet they all would be too. Yazhi has scent...

Yazhi acrobaticking to attempt to avoid whacks from the one or two evildoers...

Yazhi acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Yazhi attacks: 1d20 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 4 = 27
Yazhi damage on Red: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 6) + 4 = 12

When Moraine punches Hatfield, she re-breaks his nose.

Before he blacks out, again, he manages to exclaim: "Aw, shucks! I just fixed that!"

When Moraine punches Hatfield, she re-breaks his nose.

Before he blacks out, again, he manages to exclaim: "Aw, shucks! I just fixed that!"

So, Doc is stunned and cannot take any actions this round. This means Lifelink with Nasir continues. But even with that 5pt transfer, he still doesn't go unconscious. His non-lethal is 22. And his HP are 30.

@FRANTINO - This means that you're staggered. I assume you want to take your swing and not stand up?

Yes, please, one swing only. He'll take it at Green/Moraine if he can, so that Doc won't be threatened further.

And Frantino will spend another point of mental focus as a swift action to put up another mind barrier.

Several things happen nearly at once, confusing the combat even more.

Another philosopher enters the fray
First, another woman in peacock-themed attire stands in the manor doorway watching the combat, guarding the door. When she sees Moraine go down, she cries out in anguish and rushes out the door to attack Frantino!

"MORAINE! NO! Peacock Spirit give me the strength of my fallen sister!" she yells.

She is reckless and disregards Yazhi, intent on pummeling Frantino Kaddren for the death of her sister.

@YAZHI - AoO?

@FRANTINO kick to the head!: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 = 23 non-lethal: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 HIT

Corstela and bodyguard appear
Second, a veil of invisibility wavers and vanishes, revealing Headmistress Corstela Rostrata 10ft behind Nasir. Standing near her is another philosopher, as well! Corstela, when she appears, is in the midst of throwing red, blue and yellow sand at Nasir! The sand, as if in slow motion, streaks through the air, becoming a spray of color that assault Nasir's senses! The color cascades into and through him, reaching Ayita, Doc and Roscoe, as well.

Melisandre Will save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Philosophers pummel Ayita
Third, the philosophers Melisandre and her compatriot (The Waif, pink), ruthlessly flank Ayita between them, unleashing a devastating flurry of kicks and punches!

Fixed.

And Frantino will spend another point of mental focus as a swift action to put up another mind barrier.

In that case, correction, you WILL need to Will Save DC16 vs Color Spray.

Blinded
The creature cannot see. It takes a –2 penalty to Armor Class, loses its Dexterity bonus to AC (if any), and takes a –4 penalty on most Strength– and Dexterity-based skill checks and on opposed Perception skill checks. All checks and activities that rely on vision (such as reading and Perception checks based on sight) automatically fail. All opponents are considered to have total concealment (50% miss chance) against the blinded character. Blind creatures must make a DC 10 Acrobatics skill check to move faster than half speed. Creatures that fail this check fall prone. Characters who remain blinded for a long time grow accustomed to these drawbacks and can overcome some of them.

Stunned
A stunned creature drops everything held, can’t take actions, takes a –2 penalty to AC, and loses its Dexterity bonus to AC (if any). Attackers receive a +4 bonus on attack rolls to perform combat maneuvers against a stunned opponent.

Roscoe easily avoids the prism of color exploding nearby, but it does throw off his attack when he tries to counter.

"Daaahh!" he exclaims in frustration. He does continue to inspire his allies with his banner, however.

Hearing spellcasting behind him, Nasir quickly spins his head to see his new foes. Fortunately, his keffiyeh is not a quick as his head and hangs in front of his face for a brief moment exactly when the spell is cast, obscuring his vision to avoid the magical effects.

Nasir thinks to himself. Too many foes and too many fallen allies. The wizard will overwhelm us if she is allowed to keep casting!

Nasir steps right next to Corstela and her minion in an attempt to interfere with her casting and attacks the minion flanking Ayita.

Nasir feels an invisible blade enter a gap in his armor, and sees Corstela mouth a silent word. Electricity leaps from the blade, crackling into him. A burning pain shoots through him. His eyebrows start to burn. The hair on his arms rises up, crackles on end, and then vanishes in a silent <pfff>.

"Better than I thought," says Corstela to herself as she slides the invisible rapier blade from Nasir's ribs.

Nasir sees the dangerous position both he and Frantino are in and acts accordingly.

Since Ayita couldn't finish off the philosopher Nasir attacked last time, he figures he should try to do so himself especially since Frantino is distracting her enough to give Nasir an advantage.

Scimitar: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 + 2 = 20
Dmg: 1d6 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 10
Shield Bash: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 1 + 1 - 2 + 2 = 16
Dmg: 1d3 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 9

After striking the philosopher, Nasir steps to the side of Corstela to draw her attention away from his companions while they recover and sneers at her.

"Let's see how you do without help from your minions, woman!"

Fort save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Thankful for his mind barrier and seeing Ayita take lethal damage, Frantino takes advantage of the flank with Nasir and spins to attack the Waif!

+2 halberd w/ PA: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 31, damage: 1d10 + 11 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 11 + 2 + 1 = 18

confirm crit?: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 20, x3 damage: 2d10 + 22 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (9, 7) + 22 + 4 + 2 = 44

Assuming that the Waif is now a splattered mess, Frantino will spend his 4th point of abjuration mental focus for another mind barrier and try to acrobatics away from Mathilde.

acrobatics: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (20) - 2 = 18

He wants to go after Corstela and can circle around to flank with Nasir, who has also moved after we batter the Waif from both sides. Lol, we were posting at the same time!

The Waif wavers, as if staggered by Nasir's attack. Blood pours from a scimitar wound in her side and from her crushed nose.

"You boke mnoz, fkr," she says through the streaming blood.

She seems quite devasted by the attack. Nasir is perplexed that she is barely standing.

As Frantino moves away, Mathilde tries to hit him again.

AoO: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 1 = 16 MISS
