![]() Cirdan however only has 169 HP. After taking 120 damage in the 4 hits that targeted me erroneously, I got some distance! Would DR2/Bludgeoning have reduced that at all? Claws would be piercing or slashing, but would his natural attacks be at a high enough bonus to ignore it? I know, 8 points.... LOL! ![]()
![]() Unless the devil's attack changes this? Ouch! Yep. Changed. Being attacked Cirdan uses his cast spell to possibly damage the devil and escape. He turns into lightning and shoots through the devil to a spot 120' behind him. Beat his SR?: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (13) + 23 = 36
Fort Save DC35?: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (8) + 24 = 32
Drops his Int to 29 ![]()
![]() "True. I figured he'd be immune to fire and poison. Pretty much all devils are. And the resistance to acid and cold are normal but significantly higher than most. Lightning would be a good choice then, or force, but I don't know his spell resistance for sure. That could be an issue if it is at an extreme level, which it probably is." "How soon are we starting? Rosa? Do you want Displacement cast on you?" ![]()
![]() Cirdan finishes his drink and sets the glass down when he hears 'Phaerimm'. "Phaerimm? You think they're linked to the artifact? Or that maybe the thing inside it is an advanced one of those slugs!?! Those things are annoying to fight. They're smart, strong fighters and resistant to magic. And they're casters too." He glances around at the others. "And an army won't help you. They'll fly out of range and either get the army fighting itself, or blast it with magic just for fun." ![]()
![]() Cirdan sips his drink and smiles at Priscilla's words. He snorts at the mention of Zhentil Keep. "Zhentil Keep? Now there's a place that could use some attention from a Hound of Hell! They're as mixed up as a basket full of Dretch. I once sent a message to the supposed Lord of the keep that I was going to test their security. I flew in, invisible of course, and started disintegrating blocks of stone from the keep wall. I had a full door created before anyone even thought about shooting some arrows at where I might be. Like I wasn't warded against arrows? I was tempted to back off and send a tsunami at the keep, but there are some decent folk there.... Just a few, but I don't randomly kill." ![]()
![]() Cirdan takes time looking around the office. He's had his home for over a century but it isn't anywhere near as grand as this office. Of course he never takes anyone there since it is underground and you have to teleport to it. He grins when he remembers the reactions of his neighbors when he 'pushed it' underground leaving a clear area of dirt in its place. He still owned the land and occasionally had to clear the structures that people tried to build there. Why did they automatically think he'd died just because they hadn't seen him for several years.... or decades. "Nice place. I'll take a bourbon, neat please." "Back story? I'm a wizard. A few hundred years ago I was adventuring with a group that tried to make a name for themselves. I hardly remember their names or the name of the group. They disbanded or died off. I continued, searching, teaching sometimes, and yes I was looking for more power. I've done pretty well for myself, and many people around the planet know 'of me'. Very few actually know me. I dare say that the legends get quite silly at times, possibly because they wonder if I'm an animated doll or something. They see a miniature elf driving a ghostly chariot through the skies...." He shrugs and smiles at the description, obviously enjoying the thought. ![]()
![]() "And the artifact. It will open, releasing the thing? It won't be destroyed by opening? It might be worthy of study after the 'world ending' thing is destroyed. And if it is re-usable afterwards it certainly might be worth a bit." "So where is this city? Seven days isn't a long time if we need to travel a long distance. I prefer flying to teleporting, unless there's a teleportation circle there?" ![]()
![]() That sounds like fun. Do any of the others that applied want to join? Would you be playing with Rosa? (and her army) Cirdan had been floating his mug back across the room when Rosa offered. He smiles and accepts, but brings his own to the table as well. "Naughty? At my age naughty hardly applies. I do have a little fun now and then.... Those bandits in the Ardeep Forest haven't complained about being turned in to squirrels have they? Last time I checked they were still alive!" ![]()
![]() Cirdan grins his usual smile at Priscilla. "That puppet is just for the riffraff. Any average rogue that tried to follow me would be highly disappointed.... or dead. We all know anything that simple won't fool the one percent." With a word and gesture he floats his mug over to the bar for a refill. "So Rosa. Do you have a file on me? I'd like to see it sometime if possible. ?? Might be funny!" ![]()
![]() Cirdan looks up from his mug of ale. He had chosen a table in the corner to watch and see who arrived. He had taken a human appearance that he frequently used, nondescript, average height and weight in a dirty cloak and worn, dusty clothing. The kind of person that got ignored. He chuckled and stood up, shrinking back to his normal 3' 1" height, probably the smallest elf anyone would ever expect to see. "Priscilla and Rosa? I wondered who all would respond to the call. Do you happen to know if any more are coming? Probably I know as we are a little bit early. I'm Cirdan Nowë, in case you didn't know my name." "Mind if I join you?" |
