So the group is investigating deaths head vault and after fighting in E18 The group was separated by some tactically poor decisions and hungry pit spells. They have bitten off too much and had to separate Zenobia and Kordaitra with a blade barrier. After they finished slaying Tisharue and the grey maidens Kor and Zen retreated back to the mother of thornes. The group healed themselves and continued investigating, tracking Zenobia back to the room where the biggest fight of the adventure occurred. The group jumped in to fight and Kor challenged the Slayer and dished out a bit of damage then the MOT cast Dominate Person on the slayer. Failed the save she told him to attack the group, another save...failed. The group was in dire straits now.
The slayer struck the swashbuckler who had just finished beating up Zenobia a bit, hitting her once but missing her the other two times. The cleric came up with a some what good idea to cast Anti magic field to stop the dominate person, which worked but the MOT was not happy and immediately dropped the cleric with a few well placed blows. The now freed slayer full attacked Zenobia with power attack, adding on a hero point on his second attack for good measure and dropped her. But MOT stepped forward and had a crit plus sneak attack and just dropped him immediately.
Now only the swashbuckler and the Sorc are left. The sorc backs out of the AMF and buffs and the swashbuckler wails away on Kordaitra dropping her. The MOT shot the sorc with thorns from a distance and the swashbuckler turned her attention on her. The MOT reciprocated the favour and wailed away on the Swashbuckler, who parried, dodged and defensive rolled to no avail and was dropped to unconscious.
We stopped it there, I knew the MOT was a bad ass but holy smokes. +24 to hit is crazy. Now I am left with a situation. The sorc, is already thinking to teleport out with most of the group but will have to drag them back out of the AMF so may only get one person out. The cleric is stuck, because of the AMF the slayer is still dominated but unconscious. But the question is, what would the MOT do to the remaining people? How would you guys handle this situation, I’m looking for opinions and suggestions please.
It's not just +24 it hit, it's +24 to hit a likely entangled target, that once they're downed is poisoned, still damaged by her train, etc.
The good news is they *are* in a prison and MOT loves to torture people. So plenty of reason for a wipe to be turned into an unfortunate setback as they have to jailbreak before Ileosa gets word and just wipes them (say in 3-5 days). Good news there is they can potentially still get their gear if they're sneaky (you have a sorc+cleric+slayer+swash, so they should be except maybe the cleric), and bust out the rest of the Grey Maiden Initiates.
Sorry if this is too late, I just got my crap fixed with my computer.
I figured lots of the traffic on the forum has disappeared after the whole cookies issue.
Thanks for the advice, the group ended up pulling it off by teleporting the sorc and swashbuckler out to the church of pharasma where they begged for healing and then teleported back in again. The MOT dragged the cleric out of the way and healed the slayer who immediately became dominated again. She then told the slayer to drink all of his healing potions and then kill the cleric. She then started to teleport around looking for anyone still alive in the complex while the slayer set up an ambush for his friends.
The group teleported back in several rounds later and the swashbuckler and slayer had a show off. Not surprisingly the swashbuckler won out(awesome ac, great to hit and opportune parry and riposte) against the slayers power attacks, poor ac.
When the MOT teleported back in the sorc and swashbuckler went to work. The swashbuckler started firing off critical hits and the sorc hit her with orbs of light to which she failed her saves and was blinded.
That will do it. Shame for the cleric. Did the slayer at least get left alive by the swash?
Thank you,
Barely, knocked him down to -10 on his own turn. The sorc is right, the swashbuckler is more lethal on your turn then hers.
