Lola resists the poison and 5' steps to 2319


She swings - her primary target is A3, but if thats already knocked down, she swings at A4, or if no other targets then the doppleganger

if A3 still up, she likely has flanking so 17+2 to hit, else 17 to hit A4
If hits, damage 6

Just waiting on Tex

 

[ElectroZman]

Tex will try to bring down the spider at A3 if it is still standing, otherwise he'll shoot at the most wounded of the others...

1st Shot:




2nd Shot:



3rd shot:

[patransom]

ROUND 2 CONTINUES

Ardrea cackles to extend the duration of her protective hex on Cyrius. She commands the feather token whip to attack the despicable doppelganger. The whip flies out and careens into the creature [7 hp nonlethal and the doppelganger is grappled]

Resisting the venom, Cyrius empowers his mind blade with psychic energy and thrusts again at Spider A3. Finishing with a flair of rapid blows, he leaves the creature filled with holes and very dead [15 hp damage]

Worrel floats south, then dismisses the gaseous form potion.

Prost tumbles south, dropping his sling staff on the way and drawing his sword. He is just acrobatic enough to avoid any response from the spider, but he misses the subsequent attack. He does manage to eliminate a mirror image, though.

With A3 down, Tex shoots at A4. All three shots miss, although one arrow flies through a mirror image and causes it to disappear.

Fluffy misses A2.

Lola resists the poison and steps to give Tex a clearer shot at A4. She swings at the spider, but only manages to dismiss a mirror image.

ROUND 3 BEGINS

Spider A1 bites at Cyrius, but misses.

Spider A2 steps back out of reach of Cyrius and Fluffy and casts a spell creating 4 mirror images of itself.

Spider A4 steps into a flanking position with Cyrius, but misses with its bite.

The doppelganger struggles just enough to get free of the grappling whip, but passes out unconscious from the effort.

[Silverstone]

Lola swings again at A4, but critically fails.

OUT OF CHARACTER

Mirror Images on A4... should my and Tex's attacks last round if just close failures to hit, then have popped some its mirror images?

 

[smeltdm]

Prost attacks spiderA1 from flanking position with Cyrius...



If Prost hits, also add +3 bleed dmg from Rogue talent "Bleeding Attack".

...If the attack misses by 5 or less, one of your figments is destroyed by the near miss... Yes. This is a change from 3.5 that I missed. I will review and update previous posts... stay tuned.

 

[CGM3]

Cyrius likewise attacks Spider A1 to take advantage of the flanking position, charging his mind blade rapier with psychic energy and thrusting at the foe with a cry of Athena guide my hand!.

[Jinxs-3d]

Ardrea seeing the doppleganger drop will redirect the feather token whip to attack spider A1. She will cackle again to maintain the protective hex on Cyrius.

[patransom]

OUT OF CHARACTER

That was fast!

 

ROUND 3 CONTINUES

Ardrea seeing the doppleganger drop redirects the feather token whip to attack spider A1. She cackles again to maintain the protective hex on Cyrius. The whip cracks out and hits a mirror image [2 remaining]

Cyrius attacks Spider A1 to take advantage of the flanking position, charging his mind blade rapier with psychic energy and thrusting at the foe with a cry of Athena guide my hand!. Athena helps Cyrius find the real foe among the images, startling the creature with his unexpectedly accurate lunge [8 hp damage]

Worrel moves along the wall to where he can attack the spider (A4). Once in position, he attacks with full force. His attack is accurate, but finds only an image b][3 remaining][/b]

Prost attacks spider A1 from his flanking position with Cyrius. With a twisting maneuver, he rolls his strike around all the false images and past the actual creature's defenses [15 hp damage, plus 3 bleed]

Tex targets spider A4. The two arrows from his first (many)shot are close enough to banish the remaining mirror images. His second shot misses horribly. His final shot slips silently into the spider, opening a painful-looking fissure [4 hp damage]

Fluffy bites one of A1's remaining images, causing it to disappear [1 remaining]

Lola swings again at A4, but critically fails.

ROUND 4 BEGINS

Spider A1 bleeds [3 hp damage] while it chitters something at its allies in an unfamiliar language. It steps away from Fluffy and Cyrius and casts a spell defensively. It disappears from view.

The spell was invisibility

Spider A2 waits a moment...

Spider A4 steps up next to Ardrea and Tex. It bites at Ardrea, but misses.

Spider A2 steps up into a flanking position on Cyrius. This move doesn't help, it still misses.

The doppelganger remains unconscious.

If Tex steps back one to the other room, can he see through the mirror (assuming not, but just checking all options.)

 

[JPetherick]

Worrel steps forward so that he can attack the spider threatening Cyrius. He has spent no time learning anything about magic and simply assumes that the spider has simply become invisible. He remains alert, however.


Once in place, he attacks the spider next to Cyrius. His aim is off, however.

OUT OF CHARACTER

Nope ... forgot to include Flanking. So first attack would have hit AC 16. And, worse, I linked the 1st attack twice. Actual rolz for 2nd attack is below, and would have hit AC 20 with flanking.

 

[smeltdm]

Prost moves north 5', turns diagonally to Fluffy's space at 2019, tumbles through Cyrius's space to 2219 turns and attacks spider A4.



+ 3 Bleed dmg

OUT OF CHARACTER

Had issue with ROLZ... did not give attack info, but did not show error...weird This is what happen with first attempt

 

[ElectroZman]

Tex will pull out his axe, step to 2117 and swing at the spider at A4.





Forgot to add flanking... 23 to hit.

[Jinxs-3d]

Ardrea thanks her patron and cackles in the face of the spider to extend her protective hex. With spider A1 having disappeared suddenly, she re-directs the whip to spider A4.

[CGM3]

Cyrius thrusts twice at Spider A2 to take advantage of the flank offered by Worrell, hoping to at least dispel a mirror image or two.

[Silverstone]

Lola steps to 2218 and swings at A4, unless i am flanking, likely doesnt hit but maybe pops a mirror image.



if flanking thats a 20, if i hit damage is

[patransom]

ROUND 4 CONTINUES

Ardrea thanks her patron and cackles in the face of the spider to extend her protective hex. With spider A1 having disappeared suddenly, she re-directs the whip to spider A4. The whip does it's whippy thing and tangles up A4 [5 hp nonlethal and A4 is grappled]

Cyrius waits to take advantage of the flank offered by Worrel...

Worrel steps forward so that he can attack the spider (A2) threatening Cyrius. He has spent no time learning anything about magic and simply assumes that spider A1 has simply become invisible. He remains alert, however. His first attack is a near miss that dispels an image [2 left]. His second attack is dead center, but still only evaporates a fake spider [1 image left].

Cyrius thrusts twice at Spider A2, hoping to at least dispel the last mirror image. He does better than planned and, with a classic and elegant motion, his first stab slides into the upper-half of the real spider [3 hp damage]. His second attack is equally elegant and dispatches the final image as hoped.

Prost moves north 5', turns diagonally to Fluffy's space, and tumbles through Cyrius's space. He's not as evasive as he would have liked and spider A2 gets off a bite of opportunity that misses horribly (natural 1). After nimbly side-stepping the bite, Prost responds by stabbing the spider neatly in the thorax [9 hp damage].

OUT OF CHARACTER

Presumably, this spider starts bleeding too, right? Or am I misunderstanding something?

 

Tex pulls out his axe, steps back into the room, and swings at the grappled spider A4. His swing strikes through the air with a fearsome whir and hits the spider [5 hp damage]

Fluffy misses A2.

Lola steps to surround and swing at A4. Her vicious stab connects with almost poetic grace [4 hp damage].

ROUND 5 BEGINS

Spider A1 is nowhere to be seen...

Perception DC13 to see spoilerShow

Several drops of spider "blood" appear on the floor at 1919

Spider A4, wrapped up in the whip, chitters loudly in its unknown language and bites at Ardrea. In spite of the whip, it manages to sink its mandibles into the witch [5 hp damage and Ardrea needs a DC14 Fort save to avoid 2 STR damage from poison]

Spider A2 bleeds (probably), casts defensively, and disappears.

note above, Tex has his Axe ready.

 

Tex swings at the spider A4, then comes back around and swings again.

1st swing



2nd swing

!!! 3X Damage !!!

[CGM3]

Charging his mind blade with psychic energy, Cyrius again thrusts at Spider A4--

--and manages not to impale himself.

[Jinxs-3d]

Ardrea's Perception roll: 1d20+9


Ardrea's Spellcraft roll: 1d20+13

“This may be obvious but that last used a spell and went invisible.”

Ardrea's cruddy fort save.


She will cackle to extend the protective hex and use her standard action to cast another protective hex targeting Cyrius. Letting the whip continue it's work on spider A4.

[patransom]

She will cackle to extend the protective hex and use her standard action to cast another protective hex targeting Cyrius...

OUT OF CHARACTER

Cyrius is already under the effect of protective luck. Did you mean to target someone else with the standard action?

 

[Jinxs-3d]

Ardrea, whoops. She will target Prost with her standard action of protective hex.

[Silverstone]

If A4 is alive by the time Lola can swing, she swings at it (flanking) - else she moves 2319,2320,2321,2221 and attempts a perception check.. if she is not sure after that she will swing 2120 (maybe fluffy flanking). Misses regardless.

OUT OF CHARACTER

?dice code error on perception ck? weird

 

[smeltdm]

OUT OF CHARACTER

Were attacks of opportunity considered for spell casting spiders...yes, they did cast defensively, but still should of been attacks of opportunity, I think.

 

“Blimy, that first spider disappeared too” Prost then tumbles through 2218 to 2219, to gain flanking with A4 and attacks A4 ...





plus Bleed...F

OUT OF CHARACTER

"Bleed" can be stopped with a successfully heal check or healing

 

Prost looks for other spiders... “Fluffy find the hidden spiders” Fluffy with start sniffing for spiders

OUT OF CHARACTER

Pat, I'm not sure how scent works, is it automatic find on a bleeding creatures?
