Erithmu 04-12-07, 02:45 PM	Landing in the trees Asran touched down on the ground, Senorda behind him and from the flaping of wings Arynnt landed on Senorda's shoulder. "Lady Va'ria's spell has expired, I will be on my own for the rest." "Not like you are going to need it, I mean look at them, they are all just sitting there, not one of them has a clue that we are here." It was true beyond the edge of the trees there were about 5 men sitting around a fire. A few cows and goats were standing by a river bed and a few bones were lying around. The cows and goats were all tied up and staying far away from the water. One of the men who seemed to be in charge walked over to one of the beasts and forced it toward the lake. With a little stirring in the water four tentacles reached out and pulled the cow into the river mooing and what would account for a scream. Some of the men just laughed, and the the leader moved back to the fire and continued talking. "That is not a normal water beast. It has mixed with the blood of the evil royal line of dragons, the red." Asran didn't turn around, but saw among the thrashing the rise and fall of wings that also shone red in the firelight. Within moments the bones were spit out on the side of the river. "Maybe you will need all your tricks..." Senorda can identify the half dragon template, but is unable to identify the base creature. Distance of about 150ft w/ 20ft of undergrowth before you hit open flat terrain.
Zevox 04-12-07, 02:59 PM	Little issue, actually. This is supposed to be EL 9. The group is EL 6 now, and Asran is out-of-cycle, but MWB informed me that the EL has to be one of our "matches", so I'm doing EL 9 to make this easier (since all I lose is a surprise round to the monster).
Erithmu 04-12-07, 04:30 PM	Ok ... so question: pick your ground A) indoors with smaller quarters B) Outdoors with manuverability If you pick B the first 3 rolls are all autowins for you so I will have to reroll. (I think you should opt for B)
Zevox 04-12-07, 04:55 PM	I'll take B. In close quarters Senorda can't take advantage of her shape-shifting tricks as well, and we'll have more buff time that way.
Erithmu 04-12-07, 05:23 PM	Ok, lets work with this... With a sudden thump two trees about 60 ft to the right of the group crash to the ground. Moments later the trees directly to the right of the group crash to the ground. The sound appears to be just behind a group of trees that seem to be dissolving away. The sound seems to have disturbed the camp as well, and with pointed fingers the cam seems to be scrambling for whatever it can grab and begins to run away from Asran. Surprise round: ??? - moves closer Round 1: Asran - Senorda - --Anyant - ???? - ?? The monster is out of sight but making its way toward you, roughly 40 ft away behind some trees, it sounds really big.
Zevox 04-12-07, 07:35 PM	Wings beating, Asran rises into the sky while drinking a potion which allows him to vanish from sight. Arynat, similarly invisible, grips his bow and also takes to the air. Senorda incants a spell, drawing on the inherent magic of Hell even from this plane and transforming her accustomed seemingly-mortal form into that of a fallen celestial, and flies up above both her familiar and her master, hoping to catch a glimpse of their foe without it catching a glimpse of the others. Start: Asran hovering @ 5' w/ potion of invis & greataxe, Arynat (invisible per prebuff) on Senorda's shoulder w/ bow, Senorda holding scroll of flame arrow. Round 1: Asran drinks potion and moves up 15'. Arynat flies up to 30' altitude. Senorda casts Polymorph and turns into an Avoral, then rises 45'. Senorda Avoral: Str 15, Dex 23, Con 20, mental stats same. HP: 54 AC: 28 (+6dex, +4armor, +8natural), Touch 16, Flat 22 Speed: 30', Fly 90' (Good). Saves: Fort +7, Reflex +8, Will +7 Skills: Concentration +15
Erithmu 04-12-07, 08:00 PM	As Senorda got airborne in her corrupted form she saw the enemy. It appeared dragon like in nature but something was off. Suddenly the history came back to her. "Sludge Dragon ...!" the timing was too late. The trees fell away and Asran saw. It had dragon like shape but it was clearly not. He had only a moment to think as the neck extended and lashed out at him. What served as a wing seemed to get stuck under the falling tree but it only slowed the creature down. It was right on him as the rest of the body followed. "... It can see you! I have only heard stories of it, I know not it's power other than this looks to have been created from a red dragon." Round 1: Asran - Quaff invis and move up 15 ft up Senorda - Polymorph and move 45ft up --Anyant - moves up 30 ft Trees dissolve away Sludge Dragon - moves 30ft toward Asran and attacks (atk 14) [blindsight ??ft] The Dragon is currently at 15ft altitude and has 10ft reach, Asran is threatened. Huge Half Dragon _____ (no appropriate knowledge for base creature) Edit: added size of the creature
Zevox 04-12-07, 10:32 PM	Growling in frustration at his foe's speed, Asran calls on his hellish heritage to weave a shield before him. Arynat cackles with glee as he fires an arrow into the beast, then watches as it splits in twain! Senorda, thinking quickly, casts a spell that targets both of the creatures at once with bursts of sonic force, and the slimy being vibrate uncontrollably as the energy reverberates throughout their beings. Half-Dragon Black Pudding. :censored: Boy, this is a bad foe for Asran. Grappling with huge size, huge strength, huge hp, dissolves weapons and armor, constrict, immunity to fire - my only consolation is that Asran is resistant to both its acid and its breath, and his DR applies too. So, lets see what we can do. Round 2: Asran 5' steps back & taps a tattoo of force screen. Arynat (yes, I deliberately want him to go before Senorda) flies up higher and fires his bow. Senorda casts her sonic scorching ray (presuming Arynat's arrow hit, one at each pudding) and flies a little further back (say, 30' higher into the air). Basically, the plan is to try splitting this thing into as many pieces as possible and mopping it up with Senorda's MMs. Senorda and Arynat can easily outmaneuver it, so they're safe. Asran may be able to take them with his high AC, but if not he can always fly away and get polymorphed into an Avoral too, so he can kill it with archery. Now, lets just see if the dice cooperate with that plan.
Erithmu 04-13-07, 07:04 PM	Asran fluttered backwards and tapped a tattoo, looking to add to his defenses. Anyant attacked the sludge and suddenly two dragons appeared. "Not good." The closer dragon lashed out again with its jaws, but Asran adjusted well enough. The newer dragon fluttered ... if it could be called that ... awkwardly and lashed out with jaws of its own. These jaws did get a hold and lurched Asran forward into its body. Round 2: Asran - 5ft step + Force screen --Anyant - Fires his bow (atk 17 hit) Sludge dragon splits into two dragons (Split: Asran to the south: NW) Senorda - Fires Scorching ray, one at each (Atk:19,25 dmg 16,15) Sludge Dragon 1 - Adjust and attack (atk: 17) Sludge Dragon 2 - Adjust and attack (atk: 31 dmg: 14+6acid Grapple: 39vs17 constrict: 18+7acid) Round 3: Team Asran: Lots of the round 2 rolls, got stuck in round 1 Asran 36/58 (Force Screen) (invis) Senorda 54/54 (Poly-Avoral) Anyant 12/12 (invis) SD1 1/2- -16 SD2 1/2- -15
Zevox 04-13-07, 07:18 PM	Asran struggles against his captor, pushing his infernal might to its limits. Senorda flies in closer and uses her magic to ward her master against the creature's continued assault. Damn. Bad, bad, bad. Unless Asran gets out of the grapple, the splitting strategy is suddenly a bad idea. Time to take a risk here: Asran: Tries to escape. *fingers crossed* Senorda: Flies in and uses her scroll of stoneskin on Asran (casts defensively if need be - +15 vs DC 19, dice don't fail me now). Arynat: Lands on Senorda. This probably won't end well, but just maybe stoneskin will help. I can hardly conceive of a tougher CR 9 foe for Asran... grappling just sucks for him.
Erithmu 04-13-07, 08:45 PM	Asran struggles to get out but instead takes another dose of crushing and acid from the dragon, but not before Senorda protects him, but she does draw the fire of the other dragon. Round 2: Asran Armor vs Acid (Rflx: 10 fail) Round 3: Asran Escape (15 vs 39) fail Senorda casts stoneskin on Asran Anyant lands on Senorda's shoulder SD1 attacks Senorda (atk: 15) SD2 Constrict (27 vs 14 dmg: 15+8 acid = 5 dmg, 10 absorbed) Round 4: ??? Asran 31/58 (Force Screen) (invis) (stoneskin 60hp) (Armor useless) Senorda 54/54 (Poly-Avoral) Anyant 12/12 (invis) SD1 1/2- -16 SD2 1/2- -15 (Grappling Asran)
Zevox 04-13-07, 09:17 PM	The group's struggles continue as Asran struggles desperately to escape his captor and Senorda uses her magic to aid in getting him away. Okay, thats something then. Now I'm stuck taking risks - I could have Senorda put up shield to make herself incapable of being hit without a 20, but we need Asran out of danger more than her, so heres the plan: Asran: Escape attempts until he succeeeds/dies/is freed by Senorda. Senorda: If Asran doesn't escape, sonic shocking grasp, then regular shocking grasp, then wand of MMs on grappler (defensive casting auto-succeeds on level 1 spells and isn't even needed for the wand). If Asran gets out/grappler dies polymorph him into an Avoral and both should fly the hell away from these things (Asran's AC in Avoral form would be 30 [10 + 7dex + 9natural + 4shield], in case we get that far). Edit: Noticed the rolls say his armor is useless, adjusted AC for that.
Erithmu 04-14-07, 01:17 AM	Asran can't be poly'd into an Avoral, not enough HD. I have been looking for some options for you, but most of them require 7 HD. Poly forms: Ankheg or Owlbear might be worth looking at. I know the outsider forms are powerful, but I think you need a little something more here. I might also suggest going with your bite in melee, with lots of PA. Also a post quest error, Senorda should have 6 less skill points.
Zevox 04-14-07, 01:48 AM	Oh damn, I forgot Avoral was 7 HD. I was thinking of the Bralani - back when I first created Senorda I thought it would be a good form to use, then realized its flight came when it was in whirlwind form only. So, hm.... I don't want to poly just to escape the grapple, as that would remove my acid resistance (though I suppose if it bumped his grapple mod high enough... hm, foe is +22, hes at +12 now... best I figure he could do is find a large form that'll get him the same net strength after his belt is applied, which is still just +16 vs +22, and no resist acid... hm...). So the goal is to get out of it and get Asran out of danger so Senorda can finish this with her MM wand and insane flight. Well, I could probably work with an Ice Mephit if he gets out (50' perfect fly speed - just go straight up and they can never catch me), but the AC isn't even up to what he had before he lost his armor. That Ankheg does get him burrow and that +16 grapple, but if he gets out of the grapple with that he takes falling damage... Well, I guess its basically the previous plan plus shifting to whichever of those forms is more convenient for the getaway (Ankheg if Asran emerges below the remaining creature, Ice Mephit if above). As for the bite, that would just cause it to split more (I'd imagine teeth are slashing, piercing, or both, which is what triggers that - though if I'm wrong rules wise here, please, let me know!). A pity - if it didn't, that Ankheg form might be worth switching to, since the extra damage might just get him out.
Erithmu 04-14-07, 09:15 AM	Bite does all three types of damage according to the SRD. ie slash/pierce/bludgeon ... I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here on which type to use. From a DM point of view: if one of the two things don't go down in about 3 rounds (which is possible) I'm not sure you will be able to make a comeback.
Zevox 04-14-07, 09:58 AM	Okay then, I guess I get to take a big risk here. Asran will delay until after Senorda, she'll Polymorph him into an Ankheg, and he'll bite with full power attack (+5 for 2d6+15 [+1d4 acid? Not sure] [I don't think the PA is doubled with natural weapons in spite of the 1.5xstr it gets - I recall a discussion about it not long ago]). Hopefully the increased grapple mod will let him resist a constrict or two and make the loss of the acid resistance not a problem. Then Senorda follows up as above - shocking grasps and MM wand.
Erithmu 04-14-07, 10:20 AM	Just double checking here: ankheg form Asran: 6Bab + 6str -1 size = +11 attack mod Full Power attack in grapple = -6 -4 = +1 vs AC?? for 2d6+16 + acid Grapple mod 6bab + 6 str + 4 size = 16 (remember if it doesn't constrict, it doesn't deal acid damage either.) Asran heals 6 hp, but loses 6 hp to con reduction. And you are only 15 ft off the ground, so you are only going to take 10 ft of falling damage ..
Zevox 04-14-07, 10:25 AM	Yep, all sounds right. I'd forgotten about the -4 for being in a grapple to the bite (and about the con reduction - annoying little thing there, but theres nothing for it). I'm pretty sure the bite's damage is +15 though - 6strx1.5 = +9 + 6PA = +15. Hopefully that stoneskin will still be around to protect me from the falling damage too. So yeah, go on with that, and if Asran manages to get out he burrows underground to escape the second one while Senorda withdraws and finishes it with her wand from a safe distance.
Erithmu 04-14-07, 10:50 AM	Senorda takes a moment to consider Asran's predicament. Longer than the Seer should need, but she was tired of seeing Asran fail when he should succeed. Transforming him, he took on a less regal form but one that was larger than his normal self. Attack it with your jaw. she stated, returning to her normal calm demeanor. Asran obliged and found that he could fight back. The Dragon tried to constrict again, and while Asran found that he could better combat the creature's strength, he still had not fully adapted to his new form. The other dragon tried to attack Senorda, but the Seer simply batted the jaws aside, exercising some of her deeper powers in this form. Asran bit again, and the Dragon became as liquid, and Asran fell and burrowed beneath the ground. Senorda nodded and took to the air and blasted the creature into liquid. Round 4: Senorda polymorphs Asran into an Ankheg Asran bites at full PA (atk 12 dmg 26 (all acid affects creature) Anyant withdraws away. SD1 Attacks Senorda (atk 25) SD2 Constrict (33vs 32 dmg: 27-10dr = 17) Round 5: Senorda waits to see what Asran does Asran bites again (atk:13 dmg 29) killing the Dragon, he then falls and gets underground (2dmg absorbed) Senorda withdraws SD1 tries to follow but can't keep up Round 6+ Senorda finishes the creature off w/ MM (I would roll, but it is frozen) Asran 14/52 (Force Screen) (invis) (stoneskin 48hp) (Armor useless) Senorda 54/54 (Poly-Avoral) Anyant 12/12 (invis) SD1 1/2- -16 SD2 1/2- -70 (Grappling Asran)
Zevox 04-14-07, 11:10 AM	Senorda returned to where Asran had hidden himself and announced, "It is done, mi'lord." The transformed fiend emerged from the ground, and the ancient baatorian dismissed the magic that shifted his form. As Asran dusted the dirt off of his form and his armor, composed from the same ice that formed the walls of the fortress Mephistar, began to restore itself, Senorda spoke. "Mi'lord, you must learn to rely less on my power if you are ever to attain your fate. Already I restrict myself to prevent you from relying on me, and even still events such as this occur." "I am well aware," Asran snapped. "Soon enough, I promise you, I will grow stronger. Already I feel I approach the power my father told me to seek - the power of the mortal fiends. When I attain that, I shall be one step closer to my destiny." Spreading his wings, Asran took to the skies, heading back towards Gladius. Arynat, perched on Senorda's shoulder, shook his head, but Senorda simply took off to follow her master back to the city. Whew! Close battle (I don't know what I'd have done if that second one hit Senorda). Thanks for running it! :)
