Constrict (Ex): On a successful grapple check, this chuul deals 3d6+9 points of damage. Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a chuul must hit with a claw attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can constrict or on its next turn transfer a grabbed opponent to its tentacles. Paralytic Tentacles (Ex): A chuul can transfer grabbed victims from a claw to its tentacles as a move action. The tentacles grapple with the same strength as the claw but deal no damage. However, they exude a paralytic secretion. Anyone held in the tentacles must succeed on a DC 20 Fortitude save each round on the chuul’s turn or be paralyzed for 6 rounds. The save DC is Constitution-based. While held in the tentacles, paralyzed or not, a victim automatically takes 1d8+2 points of damage each round from the creature's mandibles. Amphibious (Ex): Although chuuls are aquatic, they can survive indefinitely on land. Skills: A chuul has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.

He encounters the living ooze of a destroyed magical lab, and is devoured by it. Items used: powerstones of def. precog, forcescreen, 15 arrows (15 lost/broken, 5 recovered) PP used: all but 1 Half Celestial Gibbering Mouther Size/Type: Medium Outsider [native] Hit Dice: 4d8+32 (50 hp) Initiative: +1 Speed: 10 ft.

Gibbering (Su): As soon as a mouther spots something edible, it begins a constant gibbering as a free action. All creatures (other than mouthers) within a 60-foot spread must succeed on a DC 15 Will save or be affected as though by a confusion spell for 1d2 rounds. This is a sonic mind-affecting compulsion effect. A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected by the same gibbering mouther’s gibbering for 24 hours. The save DC is Charisma-based. Spittle (Ex): As a free action every round, a gibbering mouther fires a stream of spittle at one opponent within 30 feet. The mouther makes a ranged touch attack; if it hits, it deals 1d4 points of acid damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 20 Fortitude save or be blinded for 1d4 rounds. Eyeless creatures are immune to the blinding effect, but are still subject to the acid damage. The save DC is Constitution-based. Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a gibbering mouther must hit with a bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. Swallow Whole (Ex): The gibbering mouther can attempt to swallow a grappled opponent of Medium or smaller size by making a successful grapple check. (The gibbering mouther doesn’t actually "swallow" the opponent; it engulfs it within its amorphous form (but the effect is essentially the same.) Once inside, the gibbering mouther can use its blood drain ability. A swallowed creature can cut its way out by dealing 5 points of damage to the gibbering mouther (same AC). The gibbering mouther's body can hold 1 Medium, 2 Small, 8 Tiny, 32 Diminutive, or 128 Fine creatures. Blood Drain (Ex): A swallowed opponent automatically takes 1d4 points of Constitution damage each round. Ground Manipulation (Su): At will, as a standard action, a gibbering mouther can cause stone and earth in all adjacent squares to become a morass akin to quicksand. Softening earth, sand, or the like takes 1 round, while stone takes 2 rounds. Anyone other than the mouther in that area must take a move-equivalent action to avoid becoming mired (treat as being pinned). Amorphous (Ex): A gibbering mouther is not subject to critical hits. It cannot be flanked. Skills: Thanks to their multiple eyes, gibbering mouthers have a +4 racial bonus on Spot checks. A gibbering mouther has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It always can choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.

Guildmaster (WAR) 07-22-07, 07:47 AM	Moved out of the Alliance guildhall by the incessant noise of the Grand Hall construction crew, Monsieur Hood spent much of his time at The Freedom Fighter, carousing and telling adventure stories. After a tenday, even that got boring. Hood was currying Hope in the Stronghold stables when a pageboy summoned him to the Guildmaster quarters. Hood finished his work quickly and hurried inside, dodging the work crews and red-faced, shouting foremen. "Oui, Guildmaster? Jhou called for moi?" "Indeed. I am focusing all of the Alliance's efforts into the construction of this Grand Hall, and the contractors have just informed me that we are over budget. Despite my best efforts, there just isn't enough money to go around! I need you to go and secure funds or favors that I can use to keep our Laboratories running. I haven't the slightest idea where you can start -- I've been so harried that the news of the city quite escapes me at the moment. I had hoped that with your background in "creative enterprise" you would be able to cook something up. Please, don't steal in the Alliance's name! Perhaps there is something in Merisia or Kailo between The Loyalists and the Coalition! I'm certain one or the other would leap at the chance to employ a person of your experience." "Eet ees a seempell sing zat jhou ask, Gwar. Ah weel zee what ah can do. Perhaps zere eez a reech countess in ze future waiting for me to make her acquaintance! Ha ha!" Hood strode confidently out to the stables and saddled Hope while explaining the situation to her. In a few minutes, they were cruising over the rooftops, a couple of good-natured rogues looking for opportunity.
Vathelokai 07-24-07, 11:20 PM	Sorry for the delay; at least fight one is a quick one... The Hood spends hours speaking to contacts friendly to the Alliance, but all of them give the same story; "We'll look around. Come back later." Feeling slightly put off, but none-the-less merry, he decides to head out of town to visit some of the laboratory suppliers. Not too far to the northeast, only a few hours by air, he spots the gnome hill he is looking for. As he flies closer he spots 4 bests of burden, 3 carts between them, and 4 riders milling around. Customers? As they get closer, he realizes that it is not the case. Hope twitches her nose and mutters. Hood nods and grunts, recognizing them as orcs, too. The orcs seems to discuss something as they watch Hood and Hope, then then move closer to their mounts. On the grassy field map. Your in the upper left, they're in the upper right. 4 orc-looking types in breastplates, 3 horses in chain barding, 1 pegasus with chain barding. Gear is covered by cloaks.
TheMagister 07-24-07, 11:29 PM	Pegasi are chaotic good and will not associate with evil creatures -- just fyi. "Zey have captured a pegasus, Hope! Bring us to shouting diztance!" Hope complies, flying above the monstrous train at about a 60' elevation. Hood unlimbers his bow and his tongue, shouting a greeting to the group. "Hai! Ze Hood of ze Warvare Alliance beeds jhou welcome to ze ceetee of Gladius! You zere, pegasus! Are you een ze bad position of beeing captured?" Hood draws his bow and readies an action to shoot a psionic shot at any sign of spellcasting. Hope uses a standard action to SLA detect evil and concentrates on it as she swoops in overhead.
Vathelokai 07-25-07, 12:15 AM	In the SRD, pegasi have an alignment of "Usually chaotic good" and the descriptive text says they "sometimes serve the cause of good". This one happens to be chaotic neutral; lets say it's grandma was a nightmare. By the time Hope is above the orcs, they have all climbed onto their mounts, which are now unhooked from the carts. The smallest orc climbs on the back of the pegasus. Hope senses evil from the lot of them, but the small one on the pegasus seems supernaturally menacing. The pegasus on the ground shakes it's head, disagreeing with the idea that it has been captured. As it does so, Hood sees that it's eyes are bright red. Hope finds this mighty disconcerting. The small orc shouts, "Leave us be, warrior. We are on a pilgrimage." From his vantage, Hood can clearly make out items in their cart that are not of orcish make. He also makes out a stomped down muddy track from the carts to the doorway of the gnome burrow.
TheMagister 07-25-07, 12:34 AM	Hood doesn't like the look of things, but there's nothing to say it isn't legitimate trade with the gnomes -- things in Gladius are rather more...cosmopolitan than other places. "Very well zen! Au voir!" Hood'll take special note of the direction of the group's travel, and circle the gnome burrow. When the group is a significant distance away, Hope will land and we'll seek information from the gnomes about this interesting little band of orcs.
Vathelokai 07-25-07, 12:50 AM	Two of the orcs stay outside while the small one and one of the others make one last trip inside. They come out carrying something large and complex looking; alchemy equipment maybe? Hood moves out of sight then, giving them time to get moving. He sees the red eyed pegasus circling in the sky northward, apparently keeping an eye for him. Hood and Hope ride across the ground between trees and take the long way to the gnome burrow. Bending down to get in, Hood finds the place looking disturbed, but not ransacked. He cannot find anyone inside at first, until his curiosity gets him opening closets, where he finds an older gnome man. The man is holding a knife, waving it threateningly. "Who-zat! Back for more, eh.... you ain't no orc!" Hood explains himself quickly and the gnome grins. "Bastards cleared me out, wanted all the booms, sparks, sizziles I got, like they goin's to do some demolitions. Paid me up with gold. They was hoping I wouldn't look too hard at such a heavy sack, but before they got loaded I figured out they give me bunk money. Went to talking on it and they argued me back into a corner and pined me down. Hey! Wer'za alembics at?! And my travel crucible!"
TheMagister 07-25-07, 01:01 AM	"Zees 'bunk monee' -- zees eez not good? Zey stole ze goods from jhou?" Upon deciphering the truth, Hood nods in resignation and takes a deep breath. He fortifies himself with some necessary protections while promising the gnome help in the name of the Warfare Alliance. "Eet would be a boon eef jhou could do zome research for us een return, eh?" Hood slouches out of the tight quarters and mounts Hope with a flourish, taking to the sky and readying his bow. Let's do the normal stuff: Offensive Prescience (70 rnds), force screen and defensive precog (20 rnds). If it'll take longer than a minute to catch up to them (unlikely since they're wagon-bound and Hood's superquick airborne), hold off on the short-term buffs. General Plan: shoot down their air support (rider first: use ready actions to shoot him with fell shot + psionic shot when he attacks if he shows ranged attack, or just rapid shoot him if he shows melee intentions [holding a lance, for instance]). Offer surrender to ground forces, and if they don't, bombard them with extreme range touch attacks until they give up. Caveat: use ready actions to disrupt spellcasting if that skill is shown.
Vathelokai 07-25-07, 08:17 AM	Notes: Their pegasus was staying airborne as a scout. The terrain is hilly with scattered trees, but is essentially the plains map, so they do see you comming. It will take about 10 rounds to get to 'tactical range' (ie, on the battle map). As Hood and Hope approach, the red eyed pegasus and it's rider slow their forward movement and begin to do lazy figure-8s in the sky. The rider pulls back his cloak and pulls forth a huge axe, with one bladed head at each end of the haft. The orc twirls it with ease, and as he does, shadows creap from behind him, engulfing him in some wicked suit. The orcs on the ground have cut their wagons loose from the horses, leaving some of them spilled. They begin to spread out while drawing bows.
TheMagister 07-25-07, 06:38 PM	Altitude. Let's even out at about 500'. Previous tactics vs. the flying rider apply (he's showing melee, so rapid shot + fell shot is the order of the day). Hope will single move and then ready an action to move perpendicular to the approaching pegasus' flight path when the aproaching pegasus gets to within 120'. That should prevent the "running to base" tactic. Should be a +12 touch/+12 touch/+7 normal routine for 1d8+5+1d4 damage. In case of arrow deflection, make the second two arrows touch attacks (+12 normal/+12 touch/+7 touch). Regain both foci in the same round when needed.
Vathelokai 07-25-07, 11:54 PM	Apologies, but I'll be delaying this yet another day.... so... tired.... ;) Should be able to do the whole fight tomorrow night though.
TheMagister 07-25-07, 11:55 PM	Take your time.
Vathelokai 07-27-07, 02:12 AM	Hood tests the waters a bit, firing a volley at the obvious leader. He is midly suprised to watch the orc swat one of the arrows out of the air, one of them deflect off his breastplate, and one land solidly in his leg. The entire tribe of orcs charges forward. Hope takes evasive action, putting some distance between them. Due to limitations on the size of the online mapper, it shows you starting at 400 ft. I rolled everything at that range before realizing you asked for 500. I can change it, but it would mean all your arrows miss from the range penalty. http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=plains;a=HH,L,7,90,hood-hope;b=A,L,89,90,axe-pegasus;c=B,L,91,86,orcB;d=C,L,91,83,orc C;e=D,L,89,80,orcD;los=7,90,89,90,1 Rolls (http://www.hwx.it/wizards.com/dice.php?sid=1729) Setup Hood manifests off. prescience, force screen, and def. precog. Doubleaxe surrounds himself in armor of darkness, bless, and magic weapon. Orc 1-3 cut loose from wagons, mount up, and draw bows (recieve bless). Round 1 Hood fires a fell shot volley from extreme range. First arrow is swatted out of the air, second hits, third bounces off armor. Doubleaxe takes 12 dmg. Hope readies evasive manouvers. Doubleaxe holds on while his dark pegasus full runs. Hope takes evasive action in a perpendicular fashion (remembering to go parallel to the ground). Orcs 1-3 full run their horses toward the fight. http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=plains;a=HH,L,7,90,3,68 ,hood-hope;b=A,L,89,90,9,90,axe-pegasus;c=B,L,91,86,35,76,orcB;d=C,L,91, 83,39,69,orcC;e=D,L,89,80,44,62,orcD;los =7,90,89,90,1
TheMagister 07-27-07, 02:24 AM	Hope moves along in that southerly direction and then continues to ready an action to move perpendicularly when pegaxe comes within 20'. Don't forget the turning rules for creatures with avg movement. Hood double refocuses, and next round readies an action to manyshot the rider when he comes within 30'. One focus for fell shot (applies to both arrows) and one focus for psionic shot (also applies to both arrows). The rider can only swat one out of the air at a time, so if at least one hits, the psionic shot gets through. Point blank shot applies. And so we'll dance.
Vathelokai 07-29-07, 12:17 AM	Rolls (http://www.hwx.it/wizards.com/dice.php?sid=1729) Round 2 Hood double meditates and regains both psifocus'. Hope glides south and readies to evade Doubleaxe turns and follows, then casts a spell, surrounding himself in complete darkness (blacklight) OrcB full runs again to nearly below Hood. OrcC and OrcD slow down and rapid fire at Hope. None of the arrows hit, but they get remarkably close. Hood is surprised that a bunch of orcs have the far shot feat. Round 3 Hood can't very well target Doubleaxe, so he turns attention to the ones on the ground. He fires 3 arrows into orcB, dropping him with 40 dmg. Hope flys a bit further and readies to evade Doubleaxe and his globe of darkness follow Hope slowly. Hood hears cursing as Doubleaxe fails to concentrate on a spell. OrcB bleeds OrcC and OrcD fire another volley, but cannot hit. Round 4 Hood double meditates, but only gets one focus back. Hope moves and readies Doubleaxe follows slowly. Hood hears chanting, but sees nothing. OrcC and OrcD fire a volley. One arrow hits hope for 10 dmg (rolled a 20, didn't confirm due to mounted combat). http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=plains;a=HH,L,3,68,3,44 ,8,25,19,12,Hood-Hope;b=A,L,9,90,8,69,9,52,13,41,Axe-Pegasus;c=B,L,35,77,4,32,orcB;d=C,L,39,6 9,32,60,21,41,22,25,orcC;e=D,L,44,62,38, 53,30,33,36,20,orcD Round 5 Hood uses his one focus on the last shot in his series, but none of the arrows hit (or would have with fellshot). Hope moves and readies Doubleaxe keeps moving and continues chanting. OrcC and OrcD fire another volley of misses. Round 6 Hood double focuses, and barely gets both of them. Hope moves and readies. Doubleaxe keeps chanting and following. OrcC and OrcD follow, fire and miss. Round 7 Hood fires rapid fell shots. One arrow hits D for 12. Hope moves and readies. The blacklight disapates, but there is a thiner globe of darkness around them. At least Hood can see him now. There is a glowing double bladed axe hovering above the orc. Doubleaxe full runs toward Hope. Hope evades. Doubleaxe points at the end of the rush and the glowing axe flies out like a boomerang. It completely misses. OrcC and OrcD follow, fire and miss.
TheMagister 07-29-07, 12:40 AM	So who soaked the damage, Hood or Hope? Are the guys on the ground able to keep up with the 120' aerial movement on their inferior mounts? Also, switch to the Fell+Psi Manyshot on the flying rider, readied for when he approaches to within 30'. Use seeking arrows. Hope continues with her move + readymove movement pattern. When he starts running away to heal (crosses fingers), change to fell + psi single shots to finish him off. Don't forget Hood's Ride checks to increase his AC. Hood doesn't have Mounted Combat (maybe level 11). That's it!
Vathelokai 07-29-07, 12:49 AM	Hope took the 10 dmg. The guys on the ground are firing at the middle of double moves (they're moving 120 ft in a double move; elite light horses so they're strong enough to carry orcs). Since Hope had to make some 90 degree turns, they've been able to stay within range (but take -8 or -10 due to range). No mounted combat? Oops. That means the crit was confirmed (got exactly a 20 with the bless going). Total dmg for that shot was 30, leaving Hope with 12hp. Will continue in the morning. Can't wait for the next fight.... it's a doozy.
TheMagister 07-29-07, 12:52 AM	Hope continues with her move, readymove thing. Hood manifests a 3pp Vigor and draws a powerstone of Empathic Transfer and uses it to heal Hope. THEN continue offense.
Vathelokai 07-29-07, 12:21 PM	As long as the movement stays the way it is, none of the ranges will change significantly, so I'll skip using the mapper. Round 7 Hood fires rapid fell shots. One arrow hits D for 12. Hope moves and readies. The blacklight disapates, but there is a thiner globe of darkness around them. At least Hood can see him now. There is a glowing double bladed axe hovering above the orc. Doubleaxe full runs toward Hope. Hope evades. Doubleaxe points at the end of the rush and the glowing axe flies out like a boomerang. It completely misses. OrcC and OrcD follow, fire and miss. Round 8 Hood manifests vigor and draws a stone. Hope readies Doubleaxe moves closer Hope evades The spirit weapon boomerangs again, hitting Hope cleanly for 7 dmg (5 remaining). OrcC and OrcD fire volleys. OrcC gets incredibly lucky and hits Hope for 9 dmg. Hope goes unconcious and plummets 500 ft. Hood miraculously survives via the vigor, taking 75 dmg; leaving him with 5hp. Round Hood Hope Doubleaxe OrcC and OrcD What a series of 19s and 20s from the orcs.... WTF!?
TheMagister 07-29-07, 02:07 PM	Well, that'll tear it. We have to go defensive. Manifest a 6pp vigor (leaving 0 for the remainder of this fight) and drop the empathic transfer stone. Draw a stone of stalwartness and manifest force screen and def. precog. Draw and drink a potion of protection from evil. Get bizzay. Tear the bad guys up with dazzling displays of fell + psi + manyshot and evasion tactics. Take out easy targets first (evidently the archers are more dangerous than the mounted character because the dice LIKE them). Exception: target the flyer if he tries to get into melee. "OOF!"
Vathelokai 07-30-07, 11:47 PM	Note: you still have force screen and def. precog from earlier (as well as off. precience). Round 9 Hood manifests vigor with all his might (5+30 total hp) Doubleaxe flies down to the ground at dive speed. His spiritual weapon disappears, but his globe of darkness (and what-ever-else remains). OrcC and OrcD ride closer and fire arrows and all miss. Round 10 Hood draws draws and drinks potion of prot evil. Doubleaxe wingovers and flies to 30 ft. from Hood. Lands. OrcC puts his bow away and draws a falchion while double moving to a good charge location. OrcD rapid fires arrows from one range increment but misses. Round 11 Hood uses total defense and tries to regain focus, but the focus will not come. Doubleaxe casts a spell that doubles his size (divine power) and moves in to base Hood. OrcC charges on the horse, but completely misses the Hood. OrcD rapid fires. One arrow hits miraculously for 8 dmg. Is this a potential new recruit to WAR? Round 12 Hood decides there's no time to focus, and shoots seeker arrows the old fashioned way. He steps back from the melee and fires 3 arrows into Doubleaxe for 37 dmg. Doubleaxe drops dead. OrcC moves forward and attacks. Hood dodges a crit by the skin of his teeth and takes 15 dmg (5+7 total hp). OrcD rapid fires and misses. Round 13 Hood steps back and rapid fires at orcC. 2 out of 3 arrows hit for 26 dmg. OrcC, having been hit earlier, dies instantly from the dmg. OrcD makes a morale check (remember those?). Realizes that Hood is the better archer, and flees the sceen at a full run. Comments: a bit past my bed time. Sorry for not writing a narrative. I'm pretty shocked you pulled that one. That 500 ft drop is definitely going in the newspaper.
Vathelokai 08-01-07, 12:06 AM	I noticed that I forgot Doubleaxe's deflect arrows on the last couple rounds. I reviewed the rolls, and luckily, he would have been dropped to -2 hp instead of killed outright. So no change in the fight. As this is a 'cycle' mission, you regain all hp, though Hope remains out of the fight. Realizing he's finally safe, Hood collapses onto the ground. For a while he does nothing but breath. As the adrenaline from the fight wanes, so does his alertness, and soon his conciousness. "Bloody 'ell! They gone done broke it." Hood opens his eyes on a tiny fire-lit room. The sounds of the grumpy old gnome bring back the memories. He must be in the gnome hill. Hood drags himself from the collection of furs and finds the chamber pot. Then he walks hunched over, out to the main room. Things are stacked and piled everywhere. The gnome is inspecting potions, vials, and alchemy equipment that Hood remembers seeing on the orc carts. When the gnome finally notices him, he smiles. "Gods, boy... how the 'ell you survive that drop? I spotted that one and came to collect the corpse, ya know, return you to the guild. 'Bout wet me-self when your body was the only one breathing. But then, Can't imagine you much for reminiscing on that one. I got something to take your mind off it. Found in up an orc pocket...." The gnome pulls a few pieces of parchment from under a pile on the table. "Ver iz Hope?" "Whazzat?" "Ze winged horse." "Ah yah. She's outside with the horses. She ain't moving no time soon. Figured the Orcs didn't need no horse no more so I pulled the carts back un'em. Doused your Hope with some floaty oil to get her on a cart. Sheez 'urt bad, but I sent for one-uh-dem Nimbus priests. Here's hoping, ya know. So look at this. Looks like them orcs weren't lying on their little quest." Hood, feeling no mood to talk, so he takes the parchment. The orcish script is unintelligible, but the map is easily deciphered. It points to a ruin northeast; on the eastern most reaches of Denth controled land. "Been working on translating the stuff all morning. Wierd priest-y talk, but I'm of a thought there's some kind of artifact up in there."
Vathelokai 08-02-07, 12:54 AM	After a quiet hour, the gnome suddenly becomes restless as he looks over the weird scralwings. He jumps up and references some books. "Holly and brimstone, I don' believe it. You know what this is? Do ya?" Hood had no idea at all. He wasn't even sure what was being pointed at on the map. "It ain't no orcish; these is dragon scripts. These notes is kinda a mix-up of languages. I had to look-it up to be sure. It says here that the X on the map is some kinda treasure. An old elf articifer by the name of DeQuette had a shop there centuries ago. Place done got destroyed last I heard, way back. But if this things right... Tell ya what, Hoodie; I want a peek at the goods in that old ruin. You get me to the goods, I'll get done all the research you can't finish. Hell, if there's some fine good stuff of use, I'll move into your base for a stretch and finish the work myself." Hood and the gnome discuss it for a minute and agree to the deal. Hood heads out and takes one of the orcs horses. It's a hardy breed, thicker and wider than what he's used to. With this new, lighter load, the horse runs quick and they reach the hills within hours. As they come over a hill they spot the ruins. It is a huge circular wall with ramparts at the top. It appears to have nothing but rubble inside. Some sections of wall have been knocked down and the gates no longer have portcullises. Hood rides in cautiously, focusing his mind on defense. He manouvers around rubble, collapsed buildings and pillars and statues. He is suddenly and completely shocked when he rounds a corner and spots a giant gold statue. It looks kind of like a 10 ft tall golden lobster with a long, thin, pointed tail and a mouth full of razor teeth surrounded by dangling tentacles. It has metalic bat wings raised up slightly to give shade to the entire thing. Before Hood can speculate on the origin of such a thing, the wings beat down. The thing hops a couple feet, and turns it's 4 glossy black eyes on Hood. I'll let you keep the orc-horse for the fight. Prebuffs before entering the area allowed. This one is in the arena map. You're in the west box, it's in the north box. For expediency sake, go ahead and submit tactics. I'll try to run the fight in one shot; I'll pause if tactics break down (so they don't need to be super through).
TheMagister 08-02-07, 06:49 AM	Sounds like a Chuul, but the metallic skin gives me pause. Would use of adamantine arrows be a waste?
Vathelokai 08-02-07, 08:27 AM	Good guess; chuul it is. Adamantine would be a waste; the metal skin is from half-dragon template. Figure I'll save you the trouble of looking it up on the EL9 encounters list.
TheMagister 08-02-07, 09:11 AM	I've got some paperwork to do, it'll take me about 20 minutes. I'll have a reply and tactics up in probably an hour, if you wanna stick around. Oh. You're at work too, right? You'll be around. :whatsthis
TheMagister 08-02-07, 11:21 AM	We're gonna have to play it safe. Draw the stone of freedom and manifest Freedom of Movement. Urge the horse to move somewhere smart -- a place it can't fly-run or fly-charge to (via obstructions). Do a running buff cycle, manifesting offensive prescience from memory and then drawing the stone of stalwartness and using both defensive powers. After that, rapidshot touch attacks will carry the day, we hope, while the horse double moves every round. If the monster manages to get within 30', switch to manyshot+psionic shot touch attacks until it falls behind again. If it gets into melee, manifest greater concealing amorpha from memory on the defensive, and stick with the manyshot barrage. If it's evident that the creature's gonna catch up, quick dismount from the horse and send it away (slap on the rump). I'd like to keep the transportation for next fight. "Sac le bleu! Jhou are all kinds of ze ugly, no?"
Vathelokai 08-03-07, 01:03 AM	Chuul wins init... Round 1 Chuul flies up 20 ft and toward Hood. "Drinks" potion of shield of faith.

TheMagister 08-04-07, 11:42 PM	Greater Concealing Amorpha on the defensive, then Hustle from cog. crystal to move away, and move again. Move in a manner that forces him to turn and/or double move. Refocus and blast him with manyshot. Find a spot that makes being a large average flyer a bad thing (b/c of obstacles -- like the center stack, or one of the NE/SE/SW/NW stacks. Force him to go to ground. Use Hustle to stay a step ahead, and hopefully his attacks all miss via GCA. Gun him down with manyshot.
Vathelokai 08-05-07, 02:29 AM	Round 13 Hood manifests greater concealing amorpha, moves, and hustles (via cog. crystal). Chuul double moves, circling around the center area.

TheMagister 08-05-07, 01:49 PM	So the 16 touch didn't hit it? Wow. Welp, tumble away and regain a focus, and then manyshot it. Oh, are you remembering PBS in those calculations? It'll help with to hit and damage both. You know, I wasn't gonna say anything, but I really didn't envision using up all those pp Hustling. I just really wanted to do it once, and keep up the pressure. I won't make you backtrack unless you really want to, though.
Vathelokai 08-05-07, 10:01 PM	The 16 missed by one point. Chuuls have a high dex in the first place (as far as large monsters go), and with half dragon, equipment and the potion it drank, it has a 17 touch ac currently... but since you mention PBS; that would do it. As for hustling, I'll redo that bit. I re-read your strategy post and misunderstood what you ment about relying on amorpha to protect you. Working on it now...

Vathelokai 08-05-07, 10:19 PM	Hood stares at the huge golden horror, laying lifeless on the the remains of collapsed buildings. Deciding it wouldn't be going anywhere, he begins to search. He realizes the ruin he has been circling for cover was most likely a keep. Pieces of gargoyles and frieze can be found. It takes a few hours before he can find and uncover anything of interest, but eventually he identifies foundation stones. Prying stones away, he finds a crumbled stair. Settling himself to an afternoon of labor, he pries stones loose and digs a path. After an hour, he considers taking a break, and in that moment the stone he pulls loose destabilizes the rubble. Hood saves himself with a leap as a huge section colapses into some kind of basement below. When the dust settles, he spots a clear path down. Take the horse? In the interest of getting this done accurately and on time, I'll drop the setup for the next fight. Monster info is in the first post. Map is the sewer; everyone gets one of the starting boxes. I should be able to run a whole fight monday night.
TheMagister 08-06-07, 12:52 AM	Well, this should actually be pretty easy, I think. Leave the horse. Buff with defensive powers from stones (FS, DP) and Animal Affinity(wis) and (dex). Set out looking for the bad guys (what's with the wands? I don't think they could use 'em...no spellcasting classes -- or do they have a cohort you're not telling me about?). I don't think we'll need Fell Shot for this one: rapid shot should do just fine, coupled with psionic shot on the first two arrows. Use pp on Empty Mind for the gibbering saves. Use spare PP on Hustle to regain foci. Stay out of melee range, using corners to good effect. The stone of energy adaptation (fire) can be used if produce flame is encountered. Jump/tumble as needed. That should be it. Very winnable.
Vathelokai 08-06-07, 01:00 AM	Gave them the UMD skill; had too many skill points and didn't know what to do with them, so I decided to make them 'interesting'. I'd give 'em rods of wonder if I could. As for movement; do you want to do a defensive shoot and retreat? what if you back into a starting box and two of them come in from opposite directions? Avoid AoOs or chance them to get in good position?
TheMagister 08-06-07, 02:02 PM	Hood tumbles.
Vathelokai 08-07-07, 01:09 AM	Gibbers win initiative... Prebuffs Gibbers have daylighted themselves. Round 1-4 Hood buffs with force screen, defensive precognition, animal affinity wisdom, and animal affinity dexterity. Gibbers all fly and climb out to the center room. Once there they all try to activate their wands. A creates a fog. C is very fast. B is disappointed. Hood hears all the gibbering, giggling, and yelling. The Gibbers hear nothing.

Hood should be able to barely outrun these freaks down here. Jump over water. Single-shot Psi shots should carry the day. Move and shoot.

TheMagister 08-09-07, 12:56 AM	Yeah, I saw it. I never figured they could wear me down like that, or I'd've saved pp for vigor. It was a fairly lost match. I'm shocked that they got into base contact so often, but that's what you're there for: to run the bad guys. I'm just so bummed about Rubi's loss yesterday that I'm "blah" on the CoCo right now. Once I got that magic missile wand, I thought it'd be all over. Pfft. "When dogs climb trees." :rolleyes: Go ahead and post the failure. I'm not gonna fine-toothed comb it. You're more than welcome to.
