Orion Vs The Void Oni

[Watcher Uatu]

Link to Battle Map

Void Oni Initiative:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
The Void Oni's space is indicated by the blue squares.
Make a knowledge to find out his weaknesses if you wish to know them.

Recap
3. Jungle-no cover or concealment within 10 feet. Trees 30 feet tall
25-50 feet- 35% concealment, +4 cover bonus to AC
55+ 40 percent concealment, +5 cover bonus to AC

Just to be clear using the 2nd line as an example if you are 25 to 50 feet apart you the concealment is 35%, and there is a +4 cover bonus to AC.

PS:I also had not accounted for 55 feet so the last line is not 55+feet.

If there are any questions please ask.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Today we have a most interesting match. A man whose magical prowess seems to be endless, we have the maestro of magic, Orion. His opponent has travelled to all part of the multiverse, inflicting pain and harm at will. Today one of them will have their long and illustrious lives come to an end.

[Watcher Uatu]

I did not put trees on the map but they are there. If you both fly above 30 feet then the cover and concealment no longer applies.

[Orion the Smooth]

I thought we were fighting in an arena of Fire? And which Knowledge Check is should I roll? I will do my buffing after making the Knowledge check.

Initiative: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

[Watcher Uatu]

No it is not an arena of fire, but it is intense heat which is fire damage.

Knowledge planes

[Orion the Smooth]

Ah, gotcha. Was wondering where the jungle had come from, but that makes sense.

Knowledge (Planes): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34

My questions, should I gain any info:
1.) Does the Void Oni have some form of Spell Casting?
2.) Is the Void Oni immune to Mind-Effecting spells?
3.) Any elemental resistances/immunities I should know about?

[Watcher Uatu]

That gets you 4 pieces of information. Normally I don't let the player choose, but I guess one question won't hurt

He is not immune to mind affects
He is immune to cold--I was going to tell you that anyway. :)
He can drain levels.
He can use teleportation based effects as a free action, and simultaneously become incorporeal.

[Watcher Uatu]

The monster is ready to enter combat. When you are ready let me know. :)

Round 0

Cast Time Stop

1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Well, that's not good. I cast Greater Invisibility and Mind Blank, making a stealth check.

Stealth Check: 1d20 + 69 ⇒ (15) + 69 = 84

[Watcher Uatu]

fire damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7

DC 15 fort save to avoid 1d6 ⇒ 4 nonlethal fire damage

fort save:1d20 + 24 ⇒ (11) + 24 = 35

--------------------------------------------------------------------
The creature waits patiently as if it has all the time in the world.

Your turn. :)

Round 1

Orion activates his cloak and takes off into the air, continually being stealthy.

Stealth Check: 1d20 + 49 ⇒ (13) + 49 = 62

Fly to 25 ft straight up.

Fire Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5

Nonlethal: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Fort Save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29

[Watcher Uatu]

You see the Oni disappear and reappear 35 feet above its current location, but it is shadowy in form. This seems to be the incorporeal form you heard of.

Where it once stood about slightly above the ground is a black ball about 3 feet in diameter.

fire damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 5) = 11

DC 15 fort save to avoid 1d6 ⇒ 3 nonlethal fire damage

fort save:1d20 + 24 ⇒ (15) + 24 = 39

[Orion the Smooth]

Round 2

Waving his hands like he just doesn't care, Orion casts Time Stop.

Time Stop Duration: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Round 1 of the Time stop, I draw the Tetsubo from my Haversack and use a charge off my Ring of Three Wishes to cast Undead Anatomy IV, only as a Ghost of a Fire Oni. I (and all the equipment I hold) becomes incorporeal (I believe my other equipment would merge with the new form, but my Tetsubo would size up. I may be incorrect there, however). Round 2 of the Time Stop is spent casting Dimensional Lock, using a second Wish off the Ring of Three Wishes. The third round of the Time Stop is spent readying to cast another Time Stop when this Time Stop ends.

Spell Resistance for Dimensional Lock (if any): 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (11) + 26 = 37

Time Stop Duration: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Round 1 of this next Time Stop is spent casting Fly, and move closer to the Void Oni.

Round 2 is spent casting Spell Perfected (Persistant) Piercing Heightened (1 level) Mind Fog. This is centered at 40 ft elevation at O7. For my move action, I finish flying up to, ending my flight so I am adjacent to the Void Oni, elevation at 40 ft. Round 3 is spent readying to cast a Heightened to 6th Level, Persistant Piercing Hold Monster against the Void Oni when the Time Stop ends.

Spell Resistance for Mind Fog (if any, Oni's is 10 less): 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (17) + 30 = 47

Spell Resistance on Hold Monster (if Any, Oni's is 5 less): 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (1) + 26 = 27

Saving Throws for the Oni:

Saving Throw DC for Mind Fog: 37. Roll twice, take the lowest.
Saving Throw DC for Hold Monster: 31. Roll Twice, take the lowest.

Stealth Check when casting Hold Monster: 1d20 + 49 ⇒ (15) + 49 = 64

[Watcher Uatu]

50% chance of not affecting the Oni:1d100 ⇒ 45
Low means it has to save. 1-15
High means it does not. 51-100

The hold monster did not bypass SR.

Have I been allowing you to stealth while casting attack(directly target opponents or that are area of affects) spells? If so I won't change it for this fight, but I should not have because you can't attack while stealthing.

I made this post already about 3 hours ago.

I made a 40 on one will save, but I only got a 36 for the other one vs mind fog, and it will be active for 7 rounds, then I get my normal will save back.

The hold monster spell did not bypass SR

I then used a standard action to cast defensively, but you were not in the area of affect since the monster guessed in correctly. It then used a swift action SLA to teleport to the other side of the field.

I am also assuming it can only create one of those little black balls at a time. Otherwise it would be harder than a CR 20 challenge.

It is now your turn.

[Orion the Smooth]

Keep in mind he can't teleport in the mind fog, cause of the Dimensional Lock. There isn't a saving throw on it. As far as the stealth casting attack spells while stealthing, I did it a lot in the previous two battles.

[Watcher Uatu]

The stealth-attack was an error on my part for not catching it sooner.

I also forgot about the dimenional lock. I also forgot to make a spellcaft check. Well I will say he the tried to teleport, and failed. Then he flew over there.

knowledge arcana:auto pass I only need to roll a one.

I guess you get an attack of opportunity. :)

[Orion the Smooth]

Round 3

I do not take an AoO.

Orion turns, casting another Heightened Persisted Piercing Hold Monster on the Void Oni, then moving to be adjacent against the Void Oni.

Stealth Check: 1d20 + 49 ⇒ (7) + 49 = 56

Spell Resistance Check (Void Oni's Spell Resistance is 5 lower for this spell): 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (17) + 26 = 43

Hold Monster DC: 33. Roll Twice, Take the Lowest

[Watcher Uatu]

Round 4
two nat 20's needed for the will save
1d20 ⇒ 3
1d20 ⇒ 16

nat 1 needed to fail the fire damage
1d20 ⇒ 3

2d6 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9=fire without a save.

It looks like the Oni is held.

[Orion the Smooth]

Round 4

The Fire Oni that is Orion takes his Tetsubo in both hands, and swings with all his might.

Coup de Grace.

Damage: 2d8 + 9 + 1 + 9 ⇒ (5, 7) + 9 + 1 + 9 = 31*4=2d6 + 124 ⇒ (4, 6) + 124 = 134

Fort Save: 144 or death

Damage Orion takes from Vicious: 1d6 ⇒ 6

[Watcher Uatu]

1d20 ⇒ 1

LOL, and a nat 1 to boot. I can't believe I rolled a monster with regen that needs fire to stop it, while ending up in a fire based environment. For a CR 20 monster he also had crappy saves. My only hope was to get you close to that sphere, but I could not think of a way to lure you in.

Wowza....the wizard wins by cracking someone's head in with a club.

(Sad. Oh well. Hopefully there will be a greater challenge to come.)
