Team Tavava vs. Team Pikachu [Archive] - Wizards Community

09-30-05, 04:01 PM		Prologue

The horses strained and slowly the huge sealed metal box was pulled closer to doors leading into the arena. Ozone saturated the air around it and small discharges occasionally lept from it, striking one of the quartet of sweating warriors that accompanied it. The crowd was lined up near the entrance, stretching to see what exactly was dragged towards the arena. What fell beasts had the arena management captured? What creatures would require such an extreme security measure as a shielded lead-lined mage-cage?

At another entrance a trio of experienced gladiators made their last preparations, adjusting straps and whispering soft words to their animal companions and allies. They looked eager to begin the contest, but the observant could detect a glimmer of apprehension, maybe even fear, beneath their aura's of confidence.

The gong chimed and the spectators stopped chattering immediately. The battle had started!

[b]Trip (Ex): A wolf that hits with a bite attack can attempt to trip the opponent (+1 check modifier) as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the wolf.

Feats: Alertness, Lightning Reflexes
Tricks: A (http://boards.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=7314268&postcount=408)ttack
Tricks:

Distraction (Ex): Any living creature that begins its turn with a swarm in its space must succeed on a DC 11 Fortitude save or be nauseated for 1 round. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Wounding (Ex): Any living creature damaged by a bat swarm continues to bleed, losing 1 hit point per round thereafter. Multiple wounds do not result in cumulative bleeding loss. The bleeding can be stopped by a DC 10 Heal check or the application of a cure spell or some other healing magic.

Blindsense (Ex): A bat swarm notices and locates creatures within 20 feet. Opponents still have total concealment against the bat swarm (but swarm attacks ignore concealment).

Skills: A bat swarm has a +4 racial bonus on Listen and Spot checks. These bonuses are lost if its blindsense is negated.

Note: I applied the MM errata to the bat swarm.


Character Background:
She has long black hair, and is usually frowning. She hates abberations, and doesn't think outsiders are much better. She believes that nature, and Ehlonna are the most powerful of forces. Around her neck, is a small wooden symbol of Ehlonna.

Familiar:http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y67/Sindorin/Foamy.bmp
Foamy the Squirrel (Treat as Weasel)

Tiny Animal
Hit Dice: 7 hp (Half of master's)
Initiative: +2 (goes on master’s)
Speed: 20 ft. (4 squares), climb 20 ft.
Armor Class: 18 (+2 size, +3 Dex +3 nat), touch 15, flat-footed 15
Base Attack/Grapple: +2/-10

Attack: Bite +5 melee (1d3-4)

Full Attack: Bite +5 melee (1d3-4)

Space/Reach: 2-1/2 ft./0 ft.

Special Attacks:
Attach

Special Qualities:
Low-light vision, scent, improved evasion, share spells, empathic link, Deliver touch spells, Speak with master

Abilities:
-4 Strength 3
+3 Dexterity 16
+0 Constitution 10
-1 Intelligence 8
+1 Wisdom 12 (foamy is very wise... for a squirrel.)
-3 Charisma 5 (very ugly the squirrel is.)

Skills:
Balance +10
Climb +10
Hide +11 (very sneaky the squirrel is. not really.)
Move Silently +8
Spot +3

Feats:
(1st) Improved Unarmed Strike (the squirrel has studied the martial arts. He shall booyaka your waka, grandma.)
(bonus) Alertness (naturally, the squirrel is rather... paranoid.)
(3rd) Deflect Arrows (watch out, this squrrel is a bada$$.)

Environment: Temperate Hills (In Va'ria's bed. He makes her sleep on the floor.)
Organization: Solitary (he annoys people so no one wants to be around him except for Va'ria.)
Challenge Rating: ¼ (yeah, he isn't really all that tough. he just annoys people.)

These little mammals are aggressive predators but usually confine themselves to smaller prey. The statistics presented here can also apply to ferrets, which are equally as offensive and annoying.

Combat:
Attach(Ex): If a weasel hits with a bite attack, it uses its powerful jaws to latch onto the opponent’s body and automatically deals bite damage each round it remains attached. An attached weasel loses its Dexterity bonus to Armor Class and has an AC of 12.
An attached weasel can be struck with a weapon or grappled itself. To remove an attached weasel through grappling, the opponent must achieve a pin against the creature.
Skills: Weasels have a +4 racial bonus on Move Silently checks and a +8 racial bonus on Balance and Climb checks. They use their Dexterity modifier for Climb checks. A weasel can always choose to take 10 on a Climb check, even if rushed or threatened.
Go watch Foamy. (http://www.illwillpress.com)

Varie has been around for a while. She has gotten by through treachery and seduction, survived using her cunning and malevolence. Varie and her family have always had disagreements... They never really have gotten along because the rest of the family frowns upon her and her ways...

Her nature tends to be rather happy. She is a very friendly person, adept at working to please everyone, but sometimes, she can seem a bit disinterested. She sees things as they are, sometimes through her profession, sometimes not. She disapproves of the disillusioned, those who waste their lives serving their 'deities', and would like nothing more to have worshippers herself. She hates gnomes, for this reason, their love of illusions.

She had been living in Talltrees, observing the Elders and their professions. She aspires to become an Elder in the future, though this seems to be a futile effort because of her age and her being a woman. She is close to Indri'ynar, leader of the contingent sent to Gladius.

After being in Gladius for some time, Va'ria fell in with a group known as the East Habari Trading Company. She quickly fell for Virgo, their leader. One day she was out with him and he told her that he wanted to teach her something, and that she was to attack him. Confessing her love for him, he grabbed her, hugged her, giving her a kiss... of death it seemed, for Va'ria had been impaled upon Virgo's armor spikes.

She has returned from the nether via the Nimbus... her plans as of yet are unknown. The abscence of the Elders Eniolissaryn and Uhmentarymster leave her without much guidance... Her agenda is a mystery.

A babau is about 6 feet tall and weighs about 140 pounds.
Combat

Babaus are sneaky and sly. They attack the most powerful foe first, hoping to eliminate the true threats quickly and then toy with the rest. When ambushing their opponents, they make excellent use of the combination of multiple attacks and sneak attacks.

A babau’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as chaotic-aligned and evil-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Sneak Attack (Ex): A babau can make a sneak attack like a rogue, dealing an extra 2d6 points of damage whenever a foe is denied his or her Dexterity bonus, or when the babau is flanking.

Spell-Like Abilities: At will—darkness, dispel magic, see invisibility, greater teleport (self plus 50 pounds of objects only). Caster level 7th.

Protective Slime (Su): A slimy red jelly coats the babau’s skin. Any weapon that touches it takes 1d8 points of acid damage from the corrosive goo, and the weapon’s hardness does not reduce this damage. A magic weapon may attempt a DC 18 Reflex save to avoid taking this damage. A creature who strikes the babau with an unarmed attack, unarmed strike, touch spell, or natural weapon takes this damage as well but can negate the damage with a DC 18 Reflex save. The save DCs are Constitution-based.

Summon Demon (Sp):Once per day a babau can attempt to summon 1 babau with a 40% chance of success. This ability is the equivalent of a 3rd-level spell.

Skills: Babaus have a +8 racial bonus on Hide, Listen, Move Silently, and Search checks.

Equipment: Potion of Cure Serious Wounds, Potion of Protection from Good, Potion of Invisibility, Potion of Blur, +1 Deep Crystal Scythe, Tattoo of Force Screen, Potion of Mage Armor, Tattoo of Chameleon, Tattoo of Concealing Amorpha, Pearl of Breath Crisis

A shocker lizard has a pale gray or blue underside, shading to a darker hue on its back. It has blue-black markings along its back and tail.

A shocker lizard is about 1 foot tall at the shoulder and weighs about 25 pounds.
COMBAT

A shocker lizard relies on its electricity abilities in combat. A lizard tends to bite only after its shock has rendered an opponent unconscious or when the shock seems to have no effect at all. A solitary lizard flees once it delivers its shocks, but if other shocker lizards are nearby, they all home in on their comrade’s discharges and attempt to administer their shocks to the foe.

Stunning Shock (Su): Once per round, a shocker lizard can deliver an electrical shock to a single opponent within 5 feet. This attack deals 2d8 points of nonlethal damage to living opponents (Reflex DC 12 half ). The save DC is Constitution-based.

Lethal Shock (Su): Whenever two or more shocker lizards are within 20 feet of each other, they can work together to create a lethal shock. This effect has a radius of 20 feet, centered on any one contributing lizard. The shock deals 2d8 points of electricity damage for each lizard contributing to it, to a maximum of 12d8. A Reflex save (DC 10 + number of lizards contributing) reduces the damage by half.

Electricity Sense (Ex): Shocker lizards automatically detect any electrical discharges within 100 feet.

Skills: Shocker lizards have a +4 racial bonus on Hide checks due to their coloration. Shocker lizards have a +2 racial bonus on Listen and Spot checks.

Shocker lizards use their Dexterity modifier instead of their Strength modifier for Climb and Jump checks.

A shocker lizard has a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks and can always choose to take 10 on a Climb check, even if rushed or threatened.

A shocker lizard 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.

Vandelar drops the crossbow and the bolts as he moves forward 30 feet spotting the little critters and launches a fireball [DC 19] into the default starting square of the oposing shocker lizard team.

Hoping that all of them are there.

I think the demon might be on our left

If there is no LOs to that square center is as close as possible to that square.
Sindorin

09-30-05, 05:41 PM		Va'ria nearly shrieks with stifled laughter as she witness Vandelar launch a fireball to a location she can't see yet.

"Gotta catch em all, Vandelar!"

Va'ria then moves away from Talari and her wolves and casts Blacklight from the scroll.

I have her moving away so Talari and the wolves can still see.

Talari moves cautiously forward while drawing her wand, avoiding the wavering darkness. Far and Irth sniff at the darkness, but follow her. Talari calls upon the power of nature from her wand, and vines appear from the ground, trying to graps the lone lizard. The creature nimbly avoids the grasping weeds, however. Reflex [14]+5 = 19, success.

Then Vandalar sees the outer edge of another swirling globe of darkness appear in the south box. No-one of the heroes hears or see the Babau, though....

It's Vandelar's turn.
SoulLord

09-30-05, 06:44 PM		Ganon Go!

Vandelar commanded ganon to fly high and towards the box where he had launched the fireball [-1,26] as he hoped to find proof of the demise of more shocker lizards

The demon seems to have casted darkness at the south!

the critters were as fast as he had heard them to be and so Vandelar tapped his tatoo of skate [+15 move] and moved closer to the entangling field [21,6] Even if the little critter managed to get out in time Vandelar would still have time to act before it was too late.

Talari can you deal with the lone lizard?

ganon should be flying at least 30 feet high as to be out of shocker lizard range
Luni

09-30-05, 07:00 PM		Entanlge should be from wand, not spells memorized. It isn't on Talari's memorized spells anyways.

Send Gryphos after the lone shocker lizard, cast entangle if I see a group of lizards, and cast entangle at the inky ball of blackness.

Send Irth and Far at any more lizards.

Assuming nothing pressing, Talari will cast Resist Energy: Electricity on herself. [Use move action to stow wand. Don't drop it]

That should be it. As I have to work and go to my bowling league tonight, I won't eb able to check in for about 8 hours. If Sindorin and Soullord have any reasonable idea feel free to use them.
Usurpator

09-30-05, 07:01 PM		At Vandelar's command Ganon rises into the sky and speeds off to the north while Vandelar concentrates. A tattoo melts away from Vandelar's body and the wizard suddenly seems more nimble. Then Vandelar suddenly feels happy and content, Ganon screeches, it seems that the Hawk has spotted several more charred lizard bodies! Satisfied by the effectiveness of his fireball Vandelar moves around the Entangle.

SoulLord

10-01-05, 10:14 AM		Ok i have to leave for some hours now. so here's what vandelar will do.
if the remaining lizards have been taken care off.
call ganon back to be on shoulder, cast see invisibility from scroll (share), tap tatoo of chameleon.

Move to cove and hide and then cast spectral hand on ganon. we should look for the demon
and attempt to cast the sonic shocking grasp on him(ganon using spectral hand) as well as the sonic fireball.
recall sonic shocking grasp with pearl.

if lizards still around use scrolls of scorching ray to deal with them.
Usurpator

10-01-05, 11:52 AM		Va'ria decides it's still to soon to engage and she draws a scroll and recites it, drawing upon dark necromantic forces to bestow her with artificial life. [4]+3 = 7 hp.

The lone electric reptile struggles hard to escape from Talari's grapsing vines but manages to escape without being caught. Now that Vandelar can see the creature up close he discovers that it was not hurt by his fireball. Talari points at the shocker and Gryphos immediately leaves her shoulder, claws extended. The lizard sees the eagle coming and nimbly dodges it. [6]+7 = 13 vs. AC 16.

Talari has heard Vandelar call out that there is a globe of blackness somewhere in the south and she wants to entangle that area as well, but all she can see is the Blacklight from Va'ria's spell.

Vandelar, the darkness, where exactly?!

Back of south starting box!

Talari estimates the distance and discharges her wand in that general direction. Vandelar sees that her aim is slightly off, but still partially effective. He doesn't notice a reaction from within the darkness, however.


Since Talari can see almost nothing to the south, and she has to calculate the exact distance and the angle from memory, and also avoid the pillars while aiming the entangle, I letting her make a DC 15 Int check. For each point below 15 the entangle will be 5 ft. away from the optimal position in a random direction.

Int check [10]+1 = 11 vs. DC 15, 20 feet off target. Direction [7], 20 ft. to Talari's right.

10-01-05, 01:29 PM		Vandelar saw the furious lizard evade the attack and so he drawed one of his scrolls of scorching ray as he aimed for the lizard.

Ganon come back!

Vandelar tooka 5 foot step back and unleashed the power of his scroll on the lizard.

There is still a lizard somewhere. if Recall correctly the demon had a potion of invisibility so keep your ears open. He could be closing down on us as we speak.

Talari Have your Wolves sniff down the area so we won't be surprised by it. also your entangle is off mark a bit; if you can throw another a few yards to the west.


move down 5 feet to hide after casting scorching ray from scroll

10-01-05, 01:54 PM		Vandelar calls for Ganon to return and the hawk swerves around and lands skillfully upon his master's shoulder. Vandelar himself concentrates on his opponent, drawing a scroll and quickly reading the arcane phrases out loud. A stream of fire lances from Vandelar's hands passing below the flying Gryphos and ([13]+7 = 20 vs. AC 13, [14] damage) incinerates the poor Pyka. Vandelar has already killed 6 of the 7 lizards!

tactics for vandelar in the Meantime.
1 cast see invisibility from scroll(share)
2 tap tatoo of chameleon and hide (ganon should also hide on his own somewhere else)
when demon spotted cast sonic fireball on him (only if it wouldnt affect allies)
then or otherwise cast spectral hand on ganon and have him deliver sonic shocking grasps on demon
Usurpator

10-01-05, 03:41 PM		Va'ria continues her preparation by casting invisibility from a scroll and then challenges the demon. Gryphos circles around, looking for the demon while Talari stows her wand and reads the scroll of resist energy she was holding in her shield hand. An omnious silence pervades the arena when Gryphos flies back to Talari. Where is that Babau?

Vandelar decides to add his detection skills to Va'ria and also draws a scroll of invisibility and casts it on himself, sharing with Ganon.

Still the silence remains....

10-01-05, 03:42 PM		Talari will order Gryphos to Search and Destrow on a counterclockwise pattern. Move around the Blacklight, and look to the south. If the ball of darkness moves, entangle it. Otherwise sheathe wand and cast Bear's Endurance from my scroll. If something ends up in melee, I'll change the action.

10-01-05, 04:27 PM		Va'ria will cast Fly from memory, and then she will pick up the crossbow and bolts that Vandelar left for her.

10-01-05, 05:07 PM		Vandelar Looks around and orders Ganon to take to the skies again as he draws a scroll of scorching ray and readies an action to cast it upon seeing a foe in range.

Search my friend!

Talari ask your wolves to start looking for the demon using their noses.

there is one lizard left so be careful.


ganon should search in a clockwise pattern
Usurpator

10-01-05, 05:20 PM		Va'ria chants one of her most powerful incantations and feels herself getting lighter and floating into the air. She soars over to where Vandelar dropped his crossbow and bolts and lands there.

Talari gives her eagle Gryphos a search and destroy command and also moves of herself, following the eagle around the globe of blackness that is Va'ria. She draws her wand again as she moves south, but the globe and the pillars continue to obstruct her view of the southern starting box and the globe of darkness that Vandelar told her is there, but she still has to see for herself.

Tension continues to rise as the heroes still see or hear no sign of their demonic foe.

Gryphos wheels across the Arena, searching for their adversary but notices nothing out of the ordinary. Seeing the ball of blackness to the south not moving Talari stows her wand again and draws a scroll of Bear's Endurance, preparing to cast it soon. Far and Irth remain faithfully at her side.

Still not seeing th Babau, Vandelar moves east and protects himself with a translucent magic armor of force while his familiar continues spying. He keeps getting a mixed feeling of apprehension and safety from his empathic link with Ganon: it has not sighted their target yet.

Usurpator

10-02-05, 03:57 PM		Varia uses the magic of her spell to carry her up into the air, gaining height quickly. Then she adjusts and flies forward looking for the demon. Her companions see nothing more than a globe of darkness wafting upward.

Gryphos continues his search while Talari uses her scroll and feels her strength grow tremendously. She is unsure what to do next, since Gryphos still hasn't spotted anything. She draws her wand again. But then the eagle lets out a piercing cry. He has seen something, but what or where?

He's looking to the west! Yells Va'ria to Talari, who can see the eagle.

I think there's something there! Confirms Vandelar, who can see the eagle too.

Neither of them can see what the eagle is crying about, however. Is it something invisible, or simple beyond their line of sight?

Usurpator

10-02-05, 04:55 PM		Vandelar muses briefly on the best tactic. Without seeing exactly what is happening, they can do little. He decides to resume his original plan and concentrates. A elaborate tattoo on his forearm flows and the fades and Vandelar's skin-color now matches that of his surroundings. He inches forward and peeks around one of the pillars and can just see the edge of another field of darkness to the far west of the arena. That is what Gryphos saw!

- Danger -, - fear -, - anxiety -, Ganon sends him these feeling as well, his hawk his seen the darkness too.

Soullord, I adapted you last known tactics as best as possible, since we have to keep going if we are to finish this by next pairings....

10-03-05, 11:34 AM		Round 6
Va'ria's protective darkness winks out, but she still flies forward bravely, loaded crossbow in her hands. She doesn't see or hear anything moving within the darkness, yet. She trains her crossbow on the area, watching out for the one remaining shocking lizard out of the corner of her eye.

"Not seeing him or the Shocker." Va'ria tells the others.

Sindorin, were you aware that your Darklight was about to end?

Not seeing any apparent enemies, Gryphos continues his scouting, flying near Talari. His mistress draws another scroll and grabs her wand of entangle tightly. Suddenly Ganon cries in alarm, and Vandelar feels his distress. Va'ria can barely see it, but a blurred shape moves inside the darkness. She fires Vandelar's crossbow: [3]+6-2 = 7, and the bolt flies harmlessly wide.

The air aroud her begins to shimmer slightly and she feels a minute as some of her magic begins to fade. Target Dispel Magic, dispel checks [20]+7 = 27 vs. DC 14 (false life), success, [9]+7 = 16 vs DC 14(see invisibility), success, [1]+7 = 8 vs DC 16(Fly), failed. Fortunately for Va'ria she manages to stay in the air. She sees the Babau retreating into the shadow and out of her line of sight.

10-03-05, 12:18 PM		Vandelar heard the dismay of his comrade as most of his defenses were brought down.

Trying to seize the moment Vandelar Moved as fast as he could forward to where gannon had reported distress trying to use the central obstacles as cover.

vandelar will try to get into position until he can see the globe of darkness from hiding and then if no allies are close by he will cast a sonic fireball as to encompass the whole of the globe.

unless the demon is visible elsewhere in which case he will be the target of the sonic fireball.

On a side note blacklight prevents even darkvision so i'm not sure Va'ria could be the target of a targeted dispel magic as oposed to an area dispel magic.

Relieved that the Dispel Magic didn't take away her Fly spell, but knowing the demon could very well try again, and not having a target, Va'ria opts to break LOS and regroup with her companions while she reloads her crossbow.

Talari moves forward to aid her companions, gripping her Wand of Entangle tightly, while Gryphos continues his search and destroy mission.

Sindorin, made the decision for Va'ria to break LOS, since it seemed the logical thing to do, and we have to speed the battle up a bit. We are going into round 8, its Vanderlar's turn, and all of you can give me tactics for this round.
SoulLord

10-03-05, 01:39 PM		Vandelar continued ahead but this time more cautiously as he continued to approach the location where the darkness had been spotted moving from cover to cover as to not be spotted by the demon.

He hoped Talari would dispel the entangle around Va’ria

Once in sight of the darkness vandelar will try to listen/spot for the demon once found sonic fireball if it doesn't affect his allies otherwise wait until demon is visible to cast spectral hand on ganon and sonic shocking grasp on ganon as for him to deliver it by the spectral hand
Sindorin

10-03-05, 01:43 PM		Move action to put the crossbow away, then Va'ria will recast Blacklight from memory. I was aware it was about to end... but I'm really not sure what to do against this guy. After she hits him with her dispel, redraw the crossbow and start shooting.
Usurpator

10-03-05, 02:09 PM		Round 8
Vandelar moves forward more cautiously, darting from cover to cover and making use of his chameleon skin. He comes in sight of the darkness as he peeks around the corner, stretching to hear any sign of the demon. Ganon approaches the darkness as well, his keen eyesight piercing the shadows. Unfortunately, neither master nor familiar see their opponent.

Va'ria puts away her crossbow and concentrates to recreate the impenetrable blackness that protected her earlier and succeeds.

Talari moves safely beneath the darkness and intro the central stack, hunting for the demon with her wand of entangle while Gryphos continues circling.

"Whoa! South-west, south-west!" Vandelar yells out as he sees another globe of darkness appear near the southwestern set of pillars.

"You will die human, slowly...." a venomous voice resonates inside his mind. "Maybe I should save you for last....."

SoulLord

10-03-05, 02:20 PM		Vandelar moved [3,-13] to take cover behind the rock as he launched his sonic fireball [15,-21] not wanting to waste the opportunity to hurt the demon.

Now that he had wasted his area spells vandelar had to target his foe. he hoped the wolves would draw him out long enough for him to target him.

As the voice of the demon echoed on his head vandelar replied.

You understimate my companions In case you have not noticed you are the last one standing. it will only be a matter of time before you are sent back to your hell hole covered in shame for not being able to touch even one of us. Hide little demon Hide! as it seems to be the only thing you are capable of doing.

Challenged by the demon's taunt, Vandelar moves forward decisively and launches an launches a small ball at the darkness which burst in an ear-shattering sonic explosion, causing the massive pillars to crack. [22] damage.

"Muhahaha! You have to do better than that, puny elf!" The voice in his head taunts.

Ganon comes flying back to aid his master.

It's up to you Va'ria again
SoulLord

10-03-05, 02:51 PM		The possibilities...... The demon could be bluffing. or perhaps he had been unaffected at all by his fireball thanks to his spell resistance.

Still he had to try to lure him outside.

As vandelar remained hidden next to the rock he considered casting Ghost sound to simulate a wolf sniffing near the darkness perhaps that would motivate him to get out.

Congratulations little demon for having survived this long. know this though Talari can summon wolves who will likely tear you to shreds. Save some dignity and show yourself before you end up as buried bones in the arena.

Vandelar considered the demon being invisible and creating zones of darkness but he dismissed the tough after all the demon had targeted Va’ria with his dispel which would break his invisibility.

Vandelar casts detect magic and focus on mantaining it as he scans the area looking for magic auras.

10-03-05, 03:44 PM		Round 10
Vandelar concentrates and casts detect magic in an attempt to locate the elusive fiend. His cone only just reaches the edge of the south-eastern blackness, and unsurprisingly, it detects as magic. Ganon moves in closer, carefully looking for the demon, but sees nothing.

Va'ria keeps closing in, keeping her Dispel Magic ready, Talari does the same with her wand. Gryphos continues to wheel as he has done many times before. Behind them, the northeastern entangle dissipates. Ganon is absorbed within in Va'ria's Blacklight. Gryphos continues wheeling.

Then, everyone suddenly sees something blurry in the far south. Va'ria casts Dispel Magic at the blurry thing while Talari fires her wand only a fraction later. Va'ria feels certain that her dispel stripped away some of the demon's magical protections. Talari notices however, that the shadowy form is not affected by the mass of growth suddenly surrounding him.

Then Vandelar is assaulted by powerful anti-magic. He sees that his mage armor remains, but his other spells fade and dissipate. For the first time the demon remains visible, and he does not seem blurred anymore as well!

Vandelar moves forward while drawing his 'sticky bag', it feels heavy to his frail arms, but he still he heaves it at the demon from a considerable distance.

I figure if he dispels my fly i am done for. to the ground it is. Also, Hideous Laughter is a DC 20 Will Save, so I figure he has a 50/50 chance of failing it. It is worth a try considering I don't have much else to hit him with considering his resistances.

Whew! You guys made it, but only just. :cheer: And not a single miss due to the darkness!

The heroes win.

I am going to sleep now, will tally expenses, XP and gold later (or one of you could do it for me in the meantime)

By the way, you can find most rolls up at invisible castle (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?u=tavava_vs_pikachu). Its the first time I used it, and found out it didn't save a number of rolls I expected it too save. But since it includes the failure of the 40% roll to summon another Babau, I think you will probably believe me. Also I didn't include a lot of the Hide vs. Spot rolls, there were just too many almost impossible rolls there....

EDIT: I am giving you the last (wounded) Shocking Lizard, hiding pressed against the pillars in the northern starting box for +21 on Hide, who was silently hoping that Raichu would be able to do something against it brethren's killers.
