Session Start: Tue May 29 18:53:49 2001 [18:53] *** Now talking in #rpg2 [18:53] *** GM sets mode: +o kasin [18:54] anyone know of a server which allows bots? [18:54] No idea [18:54] Nope, sorry. [18:54] :( [18:54] I'll look for one then [18:55] I'm read tho [18:55] ready [18:55] I'm ready too. [18:55] (although the cat-in-the-dock doesn't thik so :) [18:55] *** rollon has joined #rpg2 [18:55] Yep [18:55] *** rollon has quit IRC (Leaving) [18:56] OK, I believe that the dragon had gone ratty and scurried away. [18:56] yah [18:56] the ferret was giving chase [18:57] Yep. [18:57] Fortunately my TRtM failed [18:57] The astral ferret is chasing the draconic rat. :) [18:57] OK, what are you guys doing? Standing by to cheer? [18:58] well.... [18:58] Shotan, want to be polymorphed to give chase too? [18:59] Shotan: And yet you ask?!? [18:59] Alamark, if you please. [18:59] Describe the cave again [18:59] (Shotan is currently hasted) [19:00] Zap Shotan with Wand [19:00] * kasin gets off before the zap [19:00] :) [19:00] * kasin looks at her (glowing?) lance in annoyance [19:00] Basically a huge, somewhat irregular cave with burning spears lighting it. (Probably continual flame) [19:02] Alamark, can you polymorph me too? [19:02] Rocks, treasure, water? [19:02] What do you want to be? [19:02] There is only one exit easily visible, although any number of smaller ones could be concealed around the place. [19:03] There is a small pool near one end of the cavern, and a neatly arranged set of chests filling a large part of the rear section. [19:03] ferret or similiar pease [19:03] (Weasel! Kasin the weasel! Then we can call her 'thief'!) [19:04] Ferrets the both of them then [19:05] OK. Two more ferrest chase off into the rat hole. [19:05] ferrets, rather. [19:05] * kasin lets Shotan go first, lest she be overrun by the hasted ferret [19:05] Haste before beauty? [19:05] You scurry into the warren of rat tunnels... [19:06] (sigh) [19:06] ... it seems to be a veritable maze. [19:06] doh [19:07] But when you come to the first branching, there is a small white flame burning on the rock a small way down one corridor. [19:07] excellent. Thank you, Deva [19:07] Not having a better idea, Shotan will head that way. [19:08] There is a flame at fairly much every turning. When there isn't, Shotan can make out the glow of the next one easily enough anyway. [19:09] What is Alamark doing? Renik is carefully searching the room while S is just standing there watchfully. [19:09] I'll scan the cavern [19:09] great. Kasin will probably have a little difficulty keeping up [19:09] OK... just generally being alert? [19:10] How big is a wizard eye again? [19:10] Not very. As big as an eye, roughly. [19:11] doesn't actually say. yeah, sounds good to me [19:12] * kasin scrabbles along [19:14] I will station my eye at the entrance. [19:14] I cast it last ession [19:14] session [19:16] Entrance? To the cavern? [19:16] Can't find last log grr [19:16] Yep [19:16] Actually, scratch that [19:16] i'll use it to scrutinise the chests [19:17] And stop every minutes or two and look around [19:17] OKie, you start checking out the chests. [19:17] Is Sendar with us? [19:17] I can't remember [19:17] yes [19:17] Todd isn't [19:19] I'll cast Detect Magic [19:19] The chests seem to be fairly sturdy. Wooden, most of them, and bound with brass. [19:20] The chests are magical. Your eye is magical. Sendar is magical. You are magical. [19:20] ooc: is anti-magic shell now antimagic field? [19:20] alamark has wizard sight up [19:20] yep [19:21] Actually no, but now is a good time to cast it [19:21] IIRC [19:22] Alamark, make a spot check. [19:22] Hehehe [19:23] 25 [19:24] You get the feeling that something moved near the entrance, but there's nothing there. [19:24] R: There's something in here with us. [19:25] (does alamark's wizard sight see invis?) [19:25] Wizard Light - yes [19:25] not its form or appearance, but simply that it's there [19:25] You raised wizard sight, right? Not wizard light. [19:26] (ops, yeah, wiz light) [19:26] No, wizard sight tells me if someone can cast spells [19:26] I was wondering about that, yes. [19:26] Alpha's Wizard Light is tghe 5th level divn spell - DM, symbols, detect invis etc. [19:27] What is the area of affect of wizard light? [19:27] And the casting time. [19:27] (nope, it wasn;t) [19:27] magical traps, writings, secret doors or traps utilising magic [19:27] [21:37] Chill Shield [19:27] [21:37] haste [19:27] [21:37] Wizard Eye [19:27] [21:37] S casts Shield. [19:27] [21:37] R casts Protection from Lightning. [19:27] [21:37] Alpha's Moonlight inside the cave [19:27] [21:38] * kasin casts resist elements(lightning) and freedom of movement [19:27] [21:38] Detect Magic [19:27] it's also a CL, 30' radius sphere centred in me [19:27] (thats from the logs) [19:28] Well, I guess I didn't cas it, but I will now. [19:28] OK, you start to cast it. [19:28] Time for initiative. [19:28] BTW, please op us on dicerolls. [19:28] (woo hoo! for once, good init) [19:29] K: 17, S:15 [19:30] Don't need init yet since you're not there. :( [19:30] Anyway... [19:30] Alamark starts digging for the components for his spell. Sendar backs towards him. Renik advances slowly with his shield up. [19:30] my init is 1 [19:30] Ah, forgot about him [19:30] (well, I roll anyway!) [19:31] On 19, the dragon appears and breathes a line of lightning at Sendar and Alamark. [19:31] Since renik was holding his action defensively he manages to step sideways into the path of the bolt... [19:32] (cover bonus!) [19:32] ... which bounces from his shield and strikes the dragon square in the head. [19:32] The dragon shakes its head, roaring. [19:32] (oh yeah!) [19:32] Will a prism spray risk the others? [19:33] Yes, unless you fly up. [19:34] Sendar quickly casts blink and backs further behind Renik. [19:34] (That was on 11) [19:34] On 1, Alamark may act. [19:35] Action? [19:35] That's my move then [19:35] Fly up [19:35] I assume I have to wait til next round for the spell [19:35] you can fly and cast too [19:35] you can fly 90' and still cast a spell [19:36] Nope, not udner 3ed. :) [19:36] yes, you can [19:36] casting is a standard action. a standard action includes a move [19:36] My response was to Sophie. No, Alamarkdoesn't have to wait. [19:36] oh, ok :) [19:36] Well, regardless, fly then PSpray [19:37] OKie. You throw a spray of bright colours at the beast. [19:37] Spell Penetration roll. [19:37] (basically, you can move and do something (standard action) or do a big thing (full round action) or move and move) [19:38] 33 [19:38] The glow strikes the dragon, playing over it's scales. [19:38] Roll d8 [19:40] 7 [19:41] Crap [19:41] Even if it works we're screwed [19:41] The dragon shimmers purple for a moment but doesn't seem otherwise incovenienced. [19:41] (Just as well it made the save!) [19:42] Does it look wounded at all? [19:42] Nope. [19:42] Next round. [19:43] Roughly how big is it? [19:44] Gargantuan [19:44] Meaning? [19:44] Why did you want to know? [19:45] Because i do [19:45] I'm casting Lower Resistance. [19:46] Well, with that reason my answer remains at Gargantuan. A few hundred feet long. [19:46] Why didn't you say that before [19:46] Next round. On 19, the dragon darts forward (flying without flapping wings) to attack Renik in melee. [19:47] Because I didn't. [19:49] Renik is bitten hard but is fairly OK. [19:50] Since he is now in melee, Renik will need to cast defensively. [19:51] (I'll be back soon, going downstairs to check on the RAID rebuild) [19:51] On 1 I cast LR [19:51] He casts a spell. [19:51] Also on 11, Sendar throws some magic missiles at the dragon. [19:52] But they fizzle. [19:52] On 1, you cast lower resistance. [19:52] Make a spell penetration check. [19:53] 37 [19:54] OK. You cast your spell on the dragon. There is no visible affect, but then you wouldn't expect there to be. [19:54] Next round. [19:55] Renik is in melee with it? [19:55] Yes. [19:56] Did it appear affected by its own lightning? [19:56] No. [19:57] OK, it gets an Alpha's Rainbow Blast next round [19:57] Force Beam [19:58] The dragon rears back and hisses some words ... a cone of white extends from one of it's claws and envelopes Renik. [19:58] (the PC file server and domain controller crashed again during a RAID rebuild. This is not looking good. I pity the PC admin!) [19:59] Renik staggers back, his armor crusted with frost. [20:00] In response he gestures at the dragon and a beam of light descends from the ceiling at the dragon. [20:00] (I'll be downstairs. give me a call when Shotan arrives) [20:00] (Nextr ound) [20:00] The dragon growls. [20:01] Sendar casts a spell with no obvious effect. [20:01] Alamark, you throw your force beam. [20:01] yep [20:01] Spell penetration roll. [20:02] 32 [20:02] Your beam sizzles towards the dragon. It shifts its angle slightly and the beam bounces from its scales. [20:03] Next round. [20:03] The dragon bites and claws at Renik. [20:04] (back) [20:04] MM [20:05] Renik is now critically wounded. [20:06] Shotan appears near the rat hole. [20:07] On 11, Renik steps back and casts Heal on himself. [20:08] Sendar directs a spell at the dragon which spares a moment to snort contemptuously. [20:08] On 1, Alamark throws his magic missles. [20:08] MM [20:08] Spell penetration and damage. [20:09] crap spell penetration - 24 [20:09] crap damage - 13 [20:10] The missiles strike the dragon, but it doesn't even flinch. [20:10] Next round. [20:12] Renik having lowered his shield to cast his spell, the dragon breathes a bolt of lightning right at him at point blank range. [20:12] Renik tries to get the shield up. [20:13] ..but fails to do so. [20:13] Damn you! [20:14] Renik is thrown backwards by the lightning bolt, suddenly looking very hurt again. [20:14] I use the staff on a Summon Monster 9: elder elemental [20:14] No more mister nice guy [20:15] Shotan charges forwards, but he won't get there this round. [20:15] Unfortunately, I don't get to choose AFAIK [20:16] You should do. [20:16] yeah, I agree you should [20:16] What kind of elemental? [20:16] take your pick [20:16] On 17, Renik steps back (provoking an AoO) [20:16] he can move 5' don't forget [20:17] without an AOO. he can also just move and not provoke an AOO [20:17] He needs a little more than that to be sure... [20:17] ...because he drops a blade barrier between himself and the dragon. [20:17] hehe [20:17] Earth would be nice, but prob too slow for this bastard, so I'll take a Elder Fire Elemental thanks, Tony. [20:17] an [20:18] AFK - phone [20:21] b [20:23] Alamark raises his staff and a blaze suddenly appears, rising up before him. [20:24] Fire: *crackle* What shall I *BURN*? [20:25] The dragon [20:25] Fire: BURN! (it moves away) [20:25] Cool! [20:26] Or rather, hot! [20:26] (elder elementals are...scary) [20:26] Does the dragon look worried at all? [20:27] brb [20:27] You can't see the dragon - it's hidden by the blade barrier. [20:28] (hopefully being blended by said barrier) [20:29] OK, next round starts. [20:29] (PS: the ogl released rules are very handy. don't need to carry my books with me) [20:29] You don't see the dragon's action on 19. [20:30] Kasin appears near the rat hole. So does the Deva. [20:30] The blade barrier is more than a few hundred feet long? [20:31] the dragon is facing us, so we are edge-wise to it [20:31] Umm... the blade barrier is now only a 30' disc. Didn't it used to be bigger? [20:31] Anyway, the elemental? [20:32] Given that, Renik would have used a Wall of Stone instead. (Sorry ... ) [20:34] Shotan will stop near Renik, eyeing the wall. [20:34] Renik Heals himself. [20:34] the wall is all the way to the roof? [20:34] Yes. [20:34] Renik was rather desperate to block the dragon off. [20:34] The elemental stops by the wall. [20:35] stand aside. i tell it [20:35] Sendar finishes his spell and a glowing ball appears near him, crackling with energy. It floats towards the wall. [20:35] Alamark, what do you do this round? [20:35] don't cast Trans rock to mud [20:36] :) [20:36] room for a fireball next to the wall? [20:36] Renik: Shall I dispel the wall? [20:36] No, I've got a passwall [20:37] (Yes - on this side) [20:37] wait until I'm on Shotan [20:37] I'll use that [20:37] Alamark casts passwall now? [20:37] yep [20:37] OK. [20:38] (Noting Kasin is nowhere near Shotan currently) [20:38] too bad [20:38] It lasts a hour/level, they can catch up [20:38] You gesture at the wall and a 5' by 8' hole appears in it. [20:39] Let Shotan move over to Kasin (he is hasted) and then kasin does a fast mount, to mount as a free action [20:39] Next round. [20:39] (gasp! she might fail this riding check!) [20:39] (she doesn't :) [20:40] so have I cast Passwall of does that happen this round? [20:40] then shotan can do another move to be at the wall. All complete :) [20:40] or does [20:40] The dragon grins and tosses a cone of cold through the hole, striking Renik and the Fire Elemental. [20:40] (No, you had an action last yound and used it. You go last in the round since your init is 1) [20:41] (so this is init 1 of the round alamark passwalls the stone wall?) [20:41] Renik mutters and the fire elemental screams. [20:41] No, it is currently on init 19 of the next round. [20:42] After we kill this dragon, I'm going to kill the bloody oracle... [20:42] (okies) [20:42] Kasin delays her action, waiting for shotan. [20:42] (yeah) [20:42] Shotan turns and rushes to kasin on 11 (your new init, kasin) [20:42] brb [20:42] is the dragon wounded at all? [20:43] The dragon doesn't look particularly wounded, no. [20:43] Renik casts a spell and a glowing white aura rises about him. [20:43] b [20:43] where's the deva btw? [20:44] The astral deva stats to move towards the dragon ... then mutters something and disappears. [20:44] The elemental moves forwards to engage the dragon in melee. [20:44] The deva disappears? [20:44] Yes. [20:44] Kasin can do a fast-mount. [20:44] Alamark, what do you do? [20:45] * kasin does so [20:45] MM [20:45] You throw a MM at the dragon. SR roll. [20:45] spell pene - 26 [20:46] Damage? [20:46] damage - 14 [20:46] Your elemental crackles forwards and lunges at the dragon. [20:47] It bashes itself repeatedly at the dragon but its attacks don't seem to do much other than char its scales slightly. [20:48] An elder elemental does smeg all, in other words? [20:48] Yep. [20:48] hey, even kasin clean missed with all attacks [20:48] Grrr [20:48] Next round. [20:49] The dragon will claw and bite at the elemental. [20:49] Right. [20:50] The claws rip gouts of flame from the elemental, but it fights on. [20:50] On 11, Renik gestures at the dragon and a white light leaps down at it. [20:50] If I use an Item spell, how many chests can I get? [20:50] ..but fizzles out before it hits the dragon. [20:50] And what the hell is it call now? [20:51] (Sjotan will stop near the dragon. Not too near, a bit beyond reach. Say 50 feet away). [20:51] (Shrink Item) [20:51] Shotan starts to move towards the dragon. [20:51] (try the conversion docs I printed for you) [20:51] Sendar finishes his spell ... the ball of energy suddenly glows bright red and darts at the dragon. [20:52] It shatters itself at the ground at the dragon's feet ... and the floor is suddenly lava. [20:52] (spot checks) [20:53] (19 for K and 22 for S) [20:54] 17 [20:54] You all think that the lava looks a bit odd. [20:55] OK, I'll cast Alpha's Silverlight on the dragon [20:55] The dragon just laughs, standing firmly on the roiling lava. [20:55] like 3rd lvl version of Ctl Light, but... [20:55] Shotan will stop slightly more than 50' away from the dragon. [20:55] save vs spell or be blinded if affected by silver [20:55] Alamark's Elemental attacks. [20:55] Kasin readies a lance, waiting for next round [20:55] save vs damage if not affected by silver [20:56] one creature target, but 30' AoE for light [20:56] The dragon doesn't seem greatly bothered by the strikes. [20:56] (I've just sent you the conversion guide. print pages 8 and 9. I can't print at the moment - eeyore is down) [20:56] a successfual save reduces damage to half and stuns him for a round [20:57] SP is 38 [20:57] 25 damage, save for half [20:57] OK, well dragon's aren't particularly affected by silver (unlike werewolves and undead). [20:58] ans stunned for either one round or d4 rounds if it ails its save [20:58] and [20:58] It makes its save. [20:58] sorry save at -2 [20:58] just in case it makes any difference [20:58] It makes by more than 20. [20:59] Umm... actually reflex save? It might not make by more than 20. [20:59] It's still stunned for a round! Woohoo! [20:59] In fact it won't. But it does make by more than 2. [20:59] I thought that is only if it's affected by silver? [20:59] it still takes half damage [21:01] Please check if the stun on save is for everyone. Tell me I didn't give you a spell that is a fireball plus speccy effects. [21:01] If it's affected for less if it's not vulnerable to silver [21:01] No [21:01] It can only affect a single target in the more damaging form [21:02] Ah, OK. [21:02] Anyway, the dragon is struck. I can have a look at the spell later. [21:02] It seems dazed. [21:02] And there's a ball of smallish CL [21:02] Hehehehe [21:02] Next round. [21:03] * alamark yells "KILL IT!!! KILL IT!!!" [21:03] The dragon doesn't do anything meaningful. [21:03] * kasin revs her...horse. [21:03] * kasin the hooves make squealing noises, and noxious gasses are emmitted :) [21:03] * kasin on init 11, she releases the brakes [21:04] (ie: she charges) [21:04] Kasin, how are you planning to do a lance charge through a 5' by 8' hole? Especially with an elder elemental and a dragon on the other side of it? [21:04] is the elder elemental in the road? The dragon being in the road is sought of the point :) [21:05] The main idea of a charge is that you don't run direct into a creature the size of an office block at the end of it ... there won't be room to dodge either side. [21:05] And there is a chance that you'll run into or through the elemental. [21:06] can she get through the hole at all? [21:07] I guess she just has to move up to it normally [21:07] You know more about horses. Could a rider mounted on a warhorse charge through a 5' wide and 8' tall hole? [21:07] hmmm, if they were a good rider [21:08] incidently, normally the charge action stops at the creature, you can't continue on. you can only continue onwards if you have a feat [21:08] she would have to duck while holding the lance to do it. [21:09] but that is quite possible to do. couching for the charge and all that [21:09] Hmm.... I don't see a horse in full charge stopping just as the lance strikes. A bit odd that. [21:09] well, it is what, a 15" long lance? [21:10] Yes, with less than 10' sticking out in front of Shotan. [21:10] it has a reach of 10' (heh, not 15 inches :) [21:10] Anyway, let's say you can get through the hole. There's a chance you'll run into the elemental if you charge. [21:10] fair enough. [21:10] OK... CHARGE! [21:11] hang on...has the elemtnal gone yet? [21:11] No. [21:11] hmm, can't talk to it...well, just charge, yelling "GANGWAY! PALADIN COMING THROUGH!" [21:11] OKie. [21:12] Make a riding check with DC 15 to get through the hole at a charge. [21:12] (she will definitely NOT be using the ttrample feat on this elemental) [21:12]
