#2 dr._funk Jul 02, 2009 17:59:45	Starting: Niward starts in box B (with/where specificly?) Monster (pitlord and spectators only) NO PEEKING POST_IRONIC! spider eater starts in box A front corner and is going first
#3 post_ironic Jul 03, 2009 11:53:48	By "box B," I assume you mean box 2? Start mounted on Aldous, holding buffing scroll. Start by buffing Cat's Grace and Barkskin from the scroll, stow it. Cast Produce Flame from memory, head out as shown, looking for my enemy. We'll move from there. If I see my opponent, stop movement. EDIT: Make sure to stay below the canopy so there aren't any movement issues.
#4 dr._funk Jul 03, 2009 12:42:15	anything in a Monster sblock... dont look Round 1: Niward cast cats grace from the scroll. (assume you wanna share it?) Monster the spider eater not sure where to go, decides to go clockwise around the forst
#5 post_ironic Jul 03, 2009 12:52:39	Yes, please share all spells. Ok crap, this thing is fast. Have Aldous do a 5' flying step, cast Call Lightning, then have Aldous move southward, trying to put a tree or something between myself and my attacker.
#6 dr._funk Jul 04, 2009 12:05:07	Sorry for taking so long kinda forgot. Do you want to take a 5ft step and cast call lightning on it or do you want to move. cant do both.
#7 post_ironic Jul 04, 2009 17:08:11	Duh. Not thinking there. Actually, on second thought, scratch my initial plan. Have Aldous 5' step, Niwrad will draw a tanglefoot bag. Hopefully I can weather the incoming attack, then 5' again and throw the bag.
#8 dr._funk Jul 04, 2009 17:45:06	Round 3: Niward orders aldous to move back a bit while he draws a tangle foot bag. Round 4: the Monster gets a bit closer to Niward and attacks, but misses badly. Niward orders aldous to move back a bit again and throws his bag at it. and hits it. but doesnt seem to be effected by the goo at all. 10 touch AC, you had a +7 attack. you rolled a 3. wow Round 5: The monster moves closer and tries attack again. and hits him for 8 damage.
#9 post_ironic Jul 05, 2009 14:16:24	Well, at least the creature will have a harder time hitting me, and can only move half speed. Have Aldous withdraw as shown. Hopefully at half movement, this will prevent a charge from the monster. Next round, begin casting SNA III over Protection from Energy for a Giant Owl. Hopefully, the creature can't base me. If it does manage to, take a 5' step away from it before casting.
#10 dr._funk Jul 05, 2009 16:25:46	Round 5: Niward moves like that (post above) Niward 37/45 HP 17+2+2 AC (cats grace ends 31, barkskin ends in awhile) --Aldous 30/30 HP 25+2+2 AC(cats grace/barkskin shared) Monster / HP AC Monster 42/42 HP 14 AC
#11 post_ironic Jul 05, 2009 19:29:19	This spell summons a natural creature. It appears where you designate and acts immediately, on your turn. It attacks your opponents to the best of its ability. That's not much help, but it seems to indicate a full-attack routine. The elders and CoCo oldtimers might have more input on this. Can I 5' step back and not take an AoO? If so, 5' west. If not, no need to take unnecessary damage, but use the move action to draw the wand of CLW (which shouldn't provoke, as its a weaponlike object, IIRC). The plan from here on out is to try and position the Owl between myself and the enemy, cast Call Lightning, then blast it from a safe distance. The Owl should keep attacking and block any charge lanes if possible, and force the monster to move around it. Move like so: Also, let me know if the Tanglefoot bag goo appears to wear off.
#12 dr._funk Jul 05, 2009 23:40:44	Round 7 continued: Niward has aldous fly back a bit again then flies away while drawing a wand of CLW. Map - as shown above Round 8: The monster really wants to hurt the druid and flies towards him and attacks, but not before the owls AoO hits for 8 more damage. The monster attacks Niward and hits him for 12 damage The owl goes and attacks the monster again and hits for 7 damage. Knocking the Spider Eater unconscious. YOU WIN! but on round 4 Round 4: the Monster gets a bit closer to Niward and attacks, but misses badly. Niward orders aldous to move back a bit again and throws his bag at it. and hits it. but doesnt seem to be effected by the goo at all. 10 touch AC, you had a +7 attack. you rolled a 3. wow its got Freedom of Movement :P
#13 post_ironic Jul 06, 2009 12:09:17	A Spider Eater? Man, I figured I'd have knowledge of that, but I guess magical beasts are Knowledge: Arcane. I'd have prepared slightly differently had I known. Still, I'll take a victory any way I can get it. Thanks for the run.
