Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
Worrel again tries to rip his sword free.
He succeeds this time, holding it high in order to attack the chest when he next gets a chance.

Lola's shot is in there between Worrel and Cyrius... Next round coming soon... |
Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
Round 3 Continues
Prost stays laser focused on M1 and fires another bullet. His savagely accurate shot lands with a resounding thump, finishing off the chest-monster [7 hp damage]. Prost reloads and attempts to hide from the enemy again. He's pretty sure he's not fooling anyone (sniping attempts like this are at -20 stealth, so...)
Ardrea holds her position and Cackles to extend the duration of Protective Luck. She casts Burning Gaze, targeting M2. The creature is unfazed by her gaze [Fort save succeeded].
Worrel finds that his defeated opponent is no longer sticky and easily frees his sword [This is not an action, so Worrel can use a whole second set of actions next round]
Lola reloads her crossbow and fires at M3. Her bolt makes a low drone that ceases abruptly as it lodges itself in her target [5 hp damage]
Cyrius grimly continues to hew at the creature holding him. His first strike leaves a gory wound [6 hp damage]. Unfortunately, the gore is sticky and he finds his mindblade quite stuck.
“Knew I shoulda brought along a pint of Whisky! ANYONE GOT ANY BOOZE?” Tex calls out. He retrieves a potion (move action) and drinks it (standard action). He recovers somewhat from his previous squeezing [healed 11 hp]
Fluffy guards Lola.
Round 4 Begins
Ardrea's hex helps Tex out this time and he proves resistant to additional squeezing, at least for the moment.
M3 fails to drag Cyrius any farther into the warehouse.

ACTIVE EFFECTS |
Grappled: Grappled creatures cannot move and take a –4 penalty to Dexterity. A grappled creature takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and combat maneuver checks, except those made to grapple or escape a grapple. In addition, grappled creatures can take no action that requires two hands to perform. A grappled character who attempts to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability must make a concentration check (DC 10 + grappler’s CMB + spell level), or lose the spell. Grappled creatures cannot make attacks of opportunity. Note: the adhesive covering these creatures means you cannot get free of their grapple by usual means (i.e., trying to break the grapple) without somehow neutralizing the adhesive first. Prayer: your allies gain a +1 luck bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saves, and skill checks, while each of your foes takes a -1 penalty on such rolls, 5 rounds left Protective Luck: Whenever Tex is targeted by an effect that requires an attack roll, including weapon attacks, the attacker must roll twice and take the worse result, 1 round left. Note: I am counting CMB checks to grapple and constrict as attack rolls. Round 4 Continues 1. Prost - loaded slingstaff readied, 43 bullets left 2. Ardrea - staff readied, Burning Gaze, 5 rounds left 3. Worrel - sword and shield readied, 24 hp damage 4. Lola - unloaded crossbow readied, 71 bolts left 5. Cyrius - mind blade longsword readied, grappled by M3, mindblade stuck to M3 (DC17 Strength check to unstick), 30 hp damage 6. Tex - battleaxe readied, 120 arrows left, grappled by M2, axe stuck to M2 (DC17 Strength check to unstick), 43 hp damage 7. Fluffy Round 3 Begins 9. Crate-shaped Monster (M1), 57 hp damage, DEAD 10. Crate-shaped Monster (M2), 4 hp damage 11. Crate-shaped Monster (M3), 37 hp damage |
Re: [Active Thread] The Hall of Harsh Reflections
Cyrius dismisses his mind blade, then materializes it again in longsword (and unstuck ) configuration and hacks at the "killer mimic" once more (given the circumstances, I figure it would take a move action to do the dismiss/manifest operation).

Round 4 Continues
Prost tries to clamber stealthily around the large crate. Although M3 is able to spot him before he shoots, his sling bullet still delivers a bit of a sting as it strikes the creature and ricochets downwards [5 hp damage including prayer]
Once again, Ardrea Cackles to extend the duration of Protective Luck then targets M2 with Burning Gaze. And once again, the creature is unaffected [Fort save succeeded].
Worrel steps to put the nearest monster between himself and Tex. He then swings, hoping that his sword does not become stuck again. It does not, because he misses the first strike. However, he follows up with a heavy overhand swing that ends in pure butchery [18 hp damage puts an end to M2]
Lola once again shoots at M3. Her bolt's delicate flutter belies its true intensity; it harshly plunges into the target [4 hp damage]. Lola reloads her crossbow.
Cyrius dismisses his mind blade, then materializes it again as a conveniently unstuck longsword and hacks at the "killer mimic." With a quick cut, he hews a sticky gash through the creature [6 hp damage]. The last monster is almost, but not quite, dead, so...
Tex, finding himself unstuck thanks to Worrel's efforts, solves that problem by making a spinning step towards the creature. He finishes his spin with a blow that slices completely through the last mimic's lower half [11 hp damage and combat is over]

I'm assuming you'll stop for breath long enough that the Prayer and Burning Gaze expire. If it's not entirely clear on the map, there are doors at 0927, 1227, 1220, and 1527. That last one is up on the catwalk. |

“"I could use the wand or call upon Mitra's grace. Or, do we have a better or faster way to heal?"”

“How about this door...Its locked but that shouldn't be a problem” Prost waits for the party to post up on the door. When everyone is in position, he uses master work picks and googles of minute seeing to attempt to unlock the door.
