#2 lonewolf Feb 25, 2009 17:51:16	Monster Info: 2 Half-Brassdragon Ankhegs You start in box 1. Give me starting positions and initial buffing. Since you are a team, I have no problem if everyone of you guys posts actions for the other characters as well.
#3 nabuchadnezzar Feb 26, 2009 8:07:00	Okay, I put here the Ankheg's sheet for us to view easily, I made it. Half-Brassdragon Ankheg Size/Type: Large Dragon Hit Dice: 3d12+15 (34 hp) Initiative: +0 Speed: 30 ft. (6 squares), burrow 20 ft., fly 60 ft. (average) Armor Class: 22 (-1 size, +13 natural), touch 9, flat-footed 22 Base Attack/Grapple: +3/+16 Attack: Claw +11 melee (1d6+9) Full Attack: 2 claws +11 melee (1d6+9) and bite +6 melee (2d6+4 plus 1d4 acid) Space/Reach: 10 ft./5 ft. Special Attacks: Improved grab, spit acid, breath weapon Special Qualities: Darkvision 60 ft., low-light vision, tremorsense 60 ft., immunity to fire Saves: Fort +7, Ref +3, Will +2 Abilities: Str 29, Dex 10, Con 19, Int 3, Wis 13, Cha 8 Skills: Climb +12, Listen +9, Spot +6 Feats: Alertness, Toughness Environment: Warm deserts Organization: Solitary or cluster (2-4) Challenge Rating: 5 Treasure: None Alignment: Always neutral Advancement: 4 HD (Large); 5-9 HD (Huge) Level Adjustment: — Combat An ankheg usually lies 5 to 10 feet below the surface until its antennae detect the approach of prey. It then burrows up to attack. (Treat this as a charge, even though the ankheg does not need to move 10 feet before attacking.) Clusters of ankhegs share the same territory but do not cooperate. Improved Grab (Ex) To use this ability, an ankheg must hit with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If the ankheg is damaged after grabbing its prey, it retreats backward down its tunnel at its land speed (not its burrow speed), dragging the victim with it. Spit Acid (Ex) 30-ft. line, once every 6 hours; damage 4d4 acid, Reflex DC 15 half. One such attack depletes the ankheg’s acid supply for 6 hours. It cannot spit acid or deal acid damage during this time. The save DC is Constitution-based. An ankheg does not use this ability unless it is desperate or frustrated. It most often spits acid when reduced to fewer than half its full normal hit points or when it has not successfully grabbed an opponent. Breath weapon (Su) 60-foot line, once per day; damage 6d8 fire, Reflex DC 15 half.

Ruby starts to cast Enlarge Person from scroll on Azel. Azel drinks a potion of mage armor. The ankhegs stay out of sight. Maurendal stows his wand, steps towards the tanglefoot bag and manifests offensive precognition from stone.

Ruby finishes Enlarge Person, moves towards Maurendal and casts Cats grace from scroll on him. Azel stows his bow and draws tanglefoot bag, while moving forward. The ankhegs fly forward and into view(40ft elevation). Maurendal ???.

Edhel casts spiritual weapon against the first Ankheg, but it misses. Ruby casts Magic Missile at the first Ankheg and moves into cover. Azel moves back while drawing his bow, drops the tanglefoot bag and shoots at the first Ankheg. The arrow goes wide. The ankhegs dive down and use their fiery breath weapons against Maurendal, Azel and Ruby. Azel manages to evade both attacks, but Ruby and Maurendal collapse despite avoiding most of the blasts damage.

He casts bless and moves around the corner, drawing his dwarven waraxe Ruby bleeds. Azel drops his bow, steps towards the wounded Ankheg, draws his guisarme and strikes at him, but misses. The ankhegs attack Azel. The first one gets hit by a strong AoO, but when Azel tries to knock it down, he has to drop the guisarme to avoid beeing tripped himself. But Azel manages to dodge the claw attack. The second Ankheg moves into flanking position and strikes Azel with its claw.

He double moves around the corner. Ruby bleeds. Azel tries to flurry grapple the Akheg close to dying, but fails to establish a hold. He uses his free action to pray to the dice gods. Ankheg A full attacks and drops Azel. Ankheg B moves to attack Edhel, but misses with its claw. Azel -2/24hp, AC 20; Mage Armor(long), Shield of Faith(ends 31), Bulls Strength(ends 32), Enlarge Person(ends 22), Bless(ends 34) Edhel 26/26hp, AC 20; Spiritual Weapon(ends 6), Bless(ends 34) Ruby -4/15hp, AC 13; Ankheg A 2/34hp AC 22; Ankheg B 19/34hp AC 22; Round 6: Edhels spiritual weapon misses the Ankheg and vanishes. He strikes the Ankheg in front of him, hits and moves away accepting the AoO. Ruby bleeds. Azel stabilizes. Ankheg A double moves to base Edhel. Ankheg B moves to attack Edhel, but misses with its claw.

#5 nabuchadnezzar Feb 27, 2009 7:46:50	I just noticed that cat's grace would have half effect on Azel. Is it better that Ruby casts it on Azel anyway or on Maurendal instead? Since we don't see the ankhegs, we should write down the next usual buffing rounds. I think that Azel then should stow the bow, draw his tanglefoot bag and the guisarme and move out. Ruby will cast cat's grace on either Maurendal or Azel, then mage armor on self and shield on self and expeditious retreat on self. Maurendal picks up the tanglefoot bag and activates offensive prescience, then skate. Edhel I think bull's strength on Azel, then bless on party then longstrider on self. What do you think about it? Also, Ruby and Edhel should press themselves behind the pillar to gain improved cover and evasion after they cast their "touch" spells, I think, and Maurendal should take cover as well.
#6 vooderen Feb 27, 2009 9:59:49	It's better that ruby casts cat's grace on Maurendal (me) I need it for reflex save, for my bow and my AC. The monk doesn't use the bow now, right?
#7 nabuchadnezzar Feb 27, 2009 11:11:39	Okay (post in gray like me when you don't make actual actions)... Round 2: Edhel casts bull's strength from scroll on Azel and moves to 35,55 and gains improved cover Ruby moves to 30,56 and casts cat's grace from scroll on Maurendal Azel stows his bow and draws tanglefoot bag, while moving to 27,51 (if you don't treat the tanglefoot bag as a weapon-like object, then draws guisarme instead) Maurendal manifests offensive prescience from stone, picks up the tanglefoot bag and steps left. Round 3: Edhel casts bless from scroll on party and keeps improved cover. Ruby casts mage armor from scroll on self and moves to 28,55 and gains improved cover. Azel draws the guisarme (or the tanglefoot bag) while moving toward 27,50 and readies to shoot the tanglefoot bag at the nearest ankheg if within 2 range increments but not adjacent. Maurendal manifests skate from stone, drops it, moves to 27,56 while drawing his bow and gains improved cover. Round 4: Edhel casts longstrider from scroll on self and keeps improved cover. Ruby casts shield from scroll on self, drops the scroll and draws a scroll of expeditious retreat, and keeps improved cover. Azel keeps readying. Maurendal waits and keeps improved cover. Map
#8 lonewolf Feb 27, 2009 16:34:25	updated above. I need round 2 action for Maurendal and round 3 actions for everyone else.
#9 vooderen Feb 27, 2009 16:43:38	can i shot without malus?
#10 lonewolf Feb 27, 2009 16:51:54	no The first one is 125ft away(vertical distance counts double for range increments).
#11 nabuchadnezzar Feb 28, 2009 3:04:45	Uhm, 80 ft horizontal distance plus 40 ft vertical distance is roughly 90 ft total distance if Pythagoras's Theorem is right... I never read that vertical distance counts twice... where is that?
#12 nabuchadnezzar Feb 28, 2009 4:22:03	Anyway, our next action will be the following: Round 3 (please move Maurendal on top of next round initiative count, it's easier that way and order doesn't change) Maurendal: drops the stone, moves to 27,56 while drawing his bow and readies to shoot a psionically enhanced arrow at Ankheg A once it's within range increment (shoots right now if it already is). Edhel: keeps improved cover and casts spiritual weapon from memory against Ankheg A (it should be within spell range, else ready to cast once it is in range). Ruby: casts magic missile from memory against Ankheg A, then moves to 28,55 while drawing the wand of magic missile, drops the scroll there and takes improved cover. Azel: moves to 29,56 while drawing his bow, drops the tanglefoot bag and readies to shoot at Ankheg A when it's within range increment (shoots right now if it already is). Map
#13 lonewolf Feb 28, 2009 5:04:03	updated above.
#14 nabuchadnezzar Feb 28, 2009 5:24:33	Frankly, we expected that, but couldn't do anything against the breaths, without evasion. At least two of us survived the breaths. Still, Ruby should have improved evasion against Ankheg A and so would be in negative hit point instead if she saves against Ankheg B. Azel waits after Edhel. Edhel casts bless from scroll and continues atacking Ankheg A with the force weapon, drops the scroll and moves around the pillar to 37,55 while drawing his waraxe. If Ankheg A goes down with a lucky critical from his spiritual weapon, he steps toward Ankheg B for a flank instead. Azel drops the bow, moves toward Ankheg A while drawing his guisarme and attacks it once in reach. If Ankheg A is already down, he does so against Ankheg B instead. Azel threatens 20 ft, has Combat Reflexes and can afford more AoO per round. A hit with minimum damage would drop Ankheg A. Any AoO against Ankheg B will use knockdown and drop the guisarme if knocked prone by reaction. EDIT: since the ankhegs could hit the three of us, they must be near the terrain, if not on it. Else they would have missed someone with their lines. That's why Azel can probably threaten both of them with his guisarme. EDIT2: now I really wish that Pain27 and SparkLone post their own next actions, without asking me to do in their place... at least until Ruby gets healed somehow :P She is at -2 since she evaded the first line and halved the second one.
#15 lonewolf Feb 28, 2009 13:39:35	Updated above. Not much luck for Azel here...
#16 vooderen Feb 28, 2009 14:18:22	Ruby is -2 or -14?
#17 lonewolf Feb 28, 2009 14:51:16	she is at -3.
#18 nabuchadnezzar Feb 28, 2009 17:45:17	Okay, now if it was me I'd wait to see if the spiritual weapon hits Ankheg A (in that case, it would be probably destroyed). If Ankheg A falls, then Edhel double moves toward Ankheg B with his axe in hand to set up for a flank. Then Azel tumbles away while drawing the cold iron guisarme and attack Ankheg B with knockdown again. If Ankheg A doesn't fall, then Edhel double moves the other way around the pillar to reach Ruby next round. Then Azel grapples Ankheg A with flurry to damage. If a single check suffices, he has a move action left and could then tumble north west while drawing his guisarme and still threaten Ankheg B 10 ft away from it... any AoO with knockdown again. SparkLone and Pain27, I wait for you to decide your action anyway.
#19 lonewolf Feb 28, 2009 17:52:27	To speed this up: spiritual weapon misses in round 5.
#20 nabuchadnezzar Feb 28, 2009 18:02:08	Would Ruby still have the wand of magic missile in hand if she gets healed? She wouldn't have the extra speed from speed of thought I think, since she fell unconscious and thus lost her focus...
#21 lonewolf Feb 28, 2009 18:07:12	no. Everything handheld gets dropped if you fall unconscious.
#22 pain27 Mar 01, 2009 4:22:37	well, there's no much I can do, this time ^^' Edhel uses his round for a double movement around the corner, moving far from the melee. (...I hope so xD) here's the mapped movement: (thanks nabu :D) http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=arena;a=Name,M,37,55,37,53,35,53,31,53%5B/IMG%5D
#23 nabuchadnezzar Mar 01, 2009 4:31:04	Uhm... perhaps for further AoO's it's better for Azel to use standstill... Probably not, normal AoO's still deal damage and we need that. EDIT: In the roller, Azel's AoO damage should be 2d6+9 (since his STR is actually 16 base +2 enlarge person +4 bull's strength = 22) for a total of 15 damage, not 13
#24 sparklone Mar 01, 2009 5:51:13	Woah, looks like we're in big troubles :P Well, Azel activates his flurry of blows and attempts to grapple Ankheg A. If I kill him with my first attempt, I have my move action left, so I exit from the threatened area using Tumble and drawing my Cold Iron Guisarme, so I can threaten Ankheg B with an AoO. See the map here map
#25 nabuchadnezzar Mar 01, 2009 6:08:00	Uhm, in the roller the order of the rolls matters... the first roll is for catching the monster (14/20), the second roll is Azel's grapple check (12/20), the third roll the monster's grapple check (11/20) and the monster goes down at the first attempt, then the 15/20 for Azel's tumble.
#26 lonewolf Mar 01, 2009 6:12:02	sorry nab, but no. I clearly identified the rolls and chose to do both touch attacks in one roll. Im not changing the order retroactively. updated above. Edhel is the last PC standing and it doesnt look good
#27 nabuchadnezzar Mar 01, 2009 6:12:56	But Azel wouldn't have done the second roll if he won the first one... still...
#28 nabuchadnezzar Mar 01, 2009 6:31:35	Well, not much more to do... if Ruby gets healed, she is threatened by Ankheg A and thus would take an AoO if she picks up her magic missile wand, so there is no point in healing her. All we can hope is a bit of luck for Edhel, maybe a critical. Attack and single move away to the south east. It would earn him an AoO, but two subsequent claw attacks are better than a full attack and then maybe a flank. Repeat until death. If Ankheg A is within reach, attack Ankheg A instead and keep attacking and moving out.
