[thread=???????] Campaign for PSI (SauroGrenom) - "Title" [???]

Full Thread
SauroGrenom
04-05-07, 11:05 PM After leading the others into the Astral, time becomes strange... The others leave or are lost and now you are alone again. You've never been totally alone... Always there was another in a nearby cage, but now loneliness.

The mists hide the world from you... The fogs shift and belch forth strange things that fade away. Time holds still, but things move and the world changes.

There must be a place. A sanctuary that is firm, but no restricting. A Place a Time best for you... In the Astral you drift...looking for your place...

But you are not the only thing that drifts in the mists... Suddenly in moment like all the others, but also unlike them, from the fogs materialize a huge form with many eyes and many legs that bears down upon you... 20' tall and harry, an unnaturally large spider races out of the fog toward you.

The roller is down. Otherwise I'd roll initiative. I'm content to wait another day and see if it comes up. If not, then I'll go back to using Invisible Castle.
Vathelokai
04-05-07, 11:24 PM Delay is fine with me. Any appropriate knowledges for this spider?

Off to bed for me...:zzz:
SauroGrenom
04-06-07, 10:09 AM Gargantuan vermin. Hunter spider. Standard from the SRD.
Vathelokai
04-06-07, 10:55 AM Well... when the roller gets back up, manifest ectoplasmic form (immune to poison and crits and DR 10/psionics), then ego whip it twice. Should handle it. If I take more than 2/3 damage to HP, then manifest metamorph into avoral and heal up.

Busy day for me, but I should be on tonight.
SauroGrenom
04-06-07, 11:13 AM Ego whip is Mind Effecting.... Vermin are immune.
Vathelokai
04-07-07, 12:04 PM Well, that's bad. Lets see....
ectoplasmic form and keep moving away from it. Then manifest force screen and inertial armor for 1 pp each. Manifesting 1st lv powers is automatic from my concentration check. Metamorphosis into an avoral (but don't dismiss ecto-form) and get SU lay on hands. Should be a DC 24 concentration. That will heal me 16 hp (from the metamorphing). Then manifest offensive precience from stone and blast away with the dorje of shards; I should have +9 to hit vs touch ac 9 for 2d6+2 damage. When below half hp use lay on hands to refil hp.

I hate blowing through my dorje like that, but vermin are not the most psion friendly opponents. Should be quick to run anyway.
SauroGrenom
04-07-07, 03:38 PM (1)The spider moves before you can react, and it bears down on you racing toward you. Reacting on defensive instinct, you focus your mind and shift into a form of mindstuff.

(1) The spider lunges at you with its tremendous jaws and bites with incredible force (5hp after DR). You manifest a screen of force that protects you.

(2) The spider continues to bite and manages to penetrate your force shield (12hp). You protect yourself with another force effect.

(3) The spider bites again and it's jaws are deflected by your protections. You shift forms and become an Avoral (Heal 16hp now -1hp).

(4) The spider bites at your again but your new form is more dexterous and you avoid the bite. (You cannot activate magic items while in this form, so no powerstone). You draw your dorje and strike the creature a glancing blow (3hp).

(5) The dance begins in earnest and the gigantic creature continues to bite at you, and you blast away with your dorje. (you hit 11hp)

(6) You adroitly flit away from the snapping jaws and blast the creature (3hp).

(7) The spider nips a wing tip and your shot goes wide (3hp damage to you).

(8) You trade grievous blows (13hp to you 7hp to spider).

(9) You trade grievous blows (9hp to you 10hp to spider).

(10) You trade grievous blows (7hp to you 7hp to spider).

(11) You trade grievous blows (9hp to you 17hp to spider).

(12) The spider is distracted by the last blow, and misses. However you land a solid blow (9hp to spider).

(13) The lands a solid blow (12hp) and you heal yourself (restore 54hp).

(14) The spider hits again (11hp) and you reply with another blast form the dorje(9hp)

(15) You trade grievous blows (11hp to you 7hp to spider).

(16) You trade grievous blows (2hp to you 6hp to spider).

(17) You hit the spider but it misses you (8hp to spider)

(18) You trade grievous blows (8hp to you 5hp to spider). The last blast catches the spider in the eye, and it shudders for a moment then falls to the ground unconscious.
SauroGrenom
04-07-07, 03:57 PM You heal yourself as best you can, and relax to your normal form.

The unconscious form of the hulking spider lies beside you... it twitches slightly and slowly oozes ichore.

Leaving the creature, you walk onward through the mists. They swirl in a gentle breeze as you move forward. The breeze increases as you continue, and moving against it you suddenly break out into a place where a tremendous fount of light rises and pierces the mists. An open place surrounds the fount, and you feel safe here. You can see this place is coterminous with another place. Another world, where grand building and small forms live and bask in the light of the other side of the fount.

You shift forms, and feel the thin membrane of existence that separates the two places... Push... Yield... Push harder... Suddenly, with a sound you cannot hear, but washes over you mind, the membrane passes over you and you are on the inside, or the outside... There are smells, and the mists are gone. It looks like an attic.

The unconscious form of the hulking spider lies beside you... it twitches slightly and slowly oozes ichore. Leaving the creature, you walk onward through the mists. They swirl in a gentle breeze as you move forward. The breeze increases as you continue, and moving against it you suddenly break out into a place where a tremendous fount of light rises and pierces the mists. An open place surrounds the fount, and you feel safe here. You can see this place is coterminous with another place. Another world, where grand building and small forms live and bask in the light of the other side of the fount. You shift forms, and feel the thin membrane of existence that separates the two places... Push... Yield... Push harder... Suddenly, with a sound you cannot hear, but washes over you mind, the membrane passes over you and you are on the inside, or the outside... There are smells, and the mists are gone. It looks like an attic.
