[dice=Will Save]d20+3

You continue to feel an imposing, crushing fear of suffocation. So much that you continue to be shaken.

ROUND ONE
—------------------------------------------------

Ayita will cast "Magic Fang" on Yazhi, who then moves up and gets ready to attack the thing when she can.

Ayita wishes she'd obtained a magic weapon in town... she thinks back, does she have anything...

ROUND 2
__________________________________________________

• Life Link: Nasir heals 5, Hatfield takes 5

• Non-Action: Looking around for the undead creature, Hatfield takes a 5-foot-step closer to the wounded fighter and wonders aloud: "Where did that critter git ta?"

• Standard Action: Hatfield taps the Qadiran's shoulder and finds a potential future where Nasir's wounds are already healed. Healers Way on Nasir: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 4) + 1 = 8 And, thanks to Reward of Life, the oracle also heals 4 HP.

• Free Action: Watching the wounds close, the herbalist comments, "That looks much better."

• Move Action: Draw wand of CLW. Hatfield is now wielding the rod in his main hand and the wand in his off hand. (I believe we have 6 charges remaining.)

• Healer's Way - 1/5 used for the day

@EZRANADIR - your token moved back. Is that a glitch of Rol20 or did you want to move?

Yes, during his 1st action he moved away.

Ezranadir will cast Shield & look around trying to spot the shade. Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Note: AC now 21.

"Perhaps now is the time to pull out the magical mithral punching dagger! Who has it?"

"It is in my backpack, Frantino Kaddren. Let me fall back and retrieve it. Cold Iron will not do?"

Nasir backs up, sheaths his sword, and starts looking for the punching dagger.

"It's not the mithral we need but the magic! You temporarily have a magic scimitar but Ayita lacks a magical weapon. If I have an opportunity I can use the same ability on her earthbreaker but it's still only for a minute. At least the dagger's magic is permanent. "

Audrahni will save DC 17: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 - 2 = 8

From beneath Audrahni’s feet the shade of Ilsynor rises! Its whirling dust and bone bits encircle her and fly directly into the elf’s open mouth! She chokes and gags and tries to say something in her desperation, ”Gggh uuua wuuuhaggg!”

The shade is no longer visible.

No AoO as it emerges from the ground and then moves into her?

Horrified as Audrahni chokes on the creature, Frantino tries to slap her back several times in order to help her cough the thing out, hoping she is able to do so!

Fort save: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 8 - 2 = 22 as an aid another action? If the heal skill is more appropriate, that's a +1.

Does Audrahni need an initiative roll, or does she just come out of delay now?

The shade moves underground to an adjacent square and then performs standard action (su) that doesn’t provoke.

Audrahni will act at bottom of the turn order.i

Oops, it's a Will save? That's only at +7 if that's what is necessary to aid her. Darn those supernatural abilities!

given above, plz confirm your previously stated action

If none of our previous knowledge checks revealed how to combat this effect, there's not much Hatfield can do. Confirmed that this round, I'll heal Nasir. Next round, if Audrahni continues choking, I will try to aid another with the heal skill.

This being a situation beyond Yazhi's experience, Ayita casts "speak with animals" and explains the shade simply to Yazhi. She'll take the dagger if people find it.

Something like,

"Help Audrahni, Yazhi, bite swirling dust monster if leaves Audrahni".

Also Yazhi then readies an action to bite the shade if she can.

Audrahni Fort DC16: 1d20 + 5 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 5 - 2 + 2 = 16

Audrahni coughs and coughs and Frantino slaps her on the back until the dust, grit and bone come spewing out of her mouth!

The creature reforms in front of ... Clockwise 1=northwest square: 1d5 ⇒ 5 Doc!

I see Ilsynor on the Roll20 map. Is he visible to attack?

I see Ilsynor on the Roll20 map. Is he visible to attack?

He is.

Ezranadir moves back closer and casts a full salvo of Magic Missiles at Ilsynor.

Intense Magic Missile Force dmg: 3d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3, 4, 1) + 3 + 2 = 13

Forgot to add +2 last time for Magic Missile being an Intense Spell.

Nasir sees the creature appear and realizes he needs to get into combat quickly. He moves past Frantino from behind and drops the punching dagger at Ayita's feet. He continues past her while drawing his sword and positions himself to threaten the creature.

The shade of Ilsynor reaches out to Nasir and touches him!

Touch attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 Neg Energy Dmg: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10
Touch attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 Neg Energy Dmg: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7

Frantino will cast shield on himself then move around to flank with Nasir should Ilsynor return to the same square. He'll then try to taunt Ilsynor to attack him next.

"What's wrong, Ilsynor, afraid of a half-elf like me? Audrahni said you would be!"

As a force effect, shield specifically says that it increases touch AC vs incorporeal touch attacks, so his touch AC is effectively 15 against the shade.

ROUND 3

• Life Link: Nasir heals 5, Hatfield takes 5

• Standard Action: Hatfield taps the Qadiran fighter with the wand CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

• Free Action: Watching the wounds begin to disappear, the herbalist nods with approval--though he wishes it had been more effective. Shaking the wand, he wonders to himself: "Is this thing on?"

Roscoe snarls at lsynori and rushes forward to help his companions. When it disappears into the floor, he holds himself at the ready.

"Anyone see it?!" he asks quietly.

[ooc]It sounds like Yazhi was not able to use her readied attack action?[ooc]

Correct. The shade surfaced out of range of Yazhi's readied action.

The shade of Ilsynor rises out of the ground, drawn to the man using positive energy!

Ezranadir immediately lets loose with his magic, hitting the creature perfectly!

Nasir strikes, as well, but his blade goes straight through the thing!

Ilsynor's shade reaches out and grasps at Doc!

Touch attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12 Negative Energy dmg: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5

No other readied actions went off, because nobody else was in range to attack the shade when it reappeared.

On his turn (after the shade) Frantino will expend a point of transmutation mental focus to put legacy weapon on Nasir's scimitar, making it +1 for the next minute. As a swift action he'll expend a point of abjuration mental focus to erect a mind barrier to block the next 10 points of damage, and then swing around so that he is adjacent to the shade but doesn't provoke.

Nasir didn't roll an attack, he should get his readied action. Frantino made his scimitar a +1 weapon two rounds ago, it's still magical for eight more rounds. That's why Nasir gave the punching dagger to Ayita, so that they could both have a chance of hurting it.

Frantino will try to slice the shade with Fury, taking advantage of having flank with Nasir.

+2 halberd w/ PA: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 9 - 2 + 2 = 28, damage: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Thank you! @NASIR Roll that attack!
