RPG Addicts | We Know You're Hooked

[OoC: Damn Kubo is a double strawed drink box]

[[I really want Selina to do this. Casting Sheltered Vitality defensively would be 15+the Spell level concentration, which is 19DC and she has a +7 Conc mod. Casting after she’s taken the AoO she’s going to get would be concentration Vs DC10+damage taken +Spell level, which could be as high as 18. There’s just no easy way to do this…]]

[OoC:  Selina, you didn't say who you wanted to cast the spell on.  Can't you just take a 5' step to D-9, then cast the spell?  And if you succeed in your Concentration check then they don't get an AoO on you.]

Both critters use their front hooks to latch onto the dwarf.  They then quickly open their plaps and start digging into his flesh with two sets of hooks to pull his flesh out of the way while driving a jagged spear-like proboscis (Hypostome) deep into his body. (Yes... I researched this.    )  Kubo suddenly feels a little lightheaded as he feels his vitality being slowly sipped away.

[Kubo loses 2 points of Con!  That means your max hit points go down by 4pts.]

Now it's Simon, Selina, Tegab, Betimi, and Ning/Nang. 

[[i was going to have her cast the Spell on herself so she can draw in all the attacks and not be damaged. I’m off on holiday for the next couple of days and currently on my cell so I can’t do much. Try to post when I can.]]

Betimi takes a 5' step to F-11, lopads her crossbow and fires at Lice 4 between her and Tomreal.

Light crossbow attack [1d20+11]=1+11=12; Damage [1d8+1]=7+1=8 + [1d6]=6 cold
(with the -2 armour penalty hopefully that hits but probably not)

Ning first uses Spitfire to hit the swarm nearest Kubo and Crozar, and hopefully Lice 2 and Crab 2.

Spit-fire [3d6]=8 acid + [3d6]=11 fire
DC 16 reflex for half

Then he flies down actually 25', maximizing the area affected by the Protection from Chaos for the others, should be a 15' across circle at that poiunt

[OoC: Crozar, you have a 5' step you can use and there's 2 swarms about to strike you!  Are you going to use it?   ]

[OoC2:  I'm trying something new borrowed from 5e.  When the creatures reach half their health, I'll put 'Bloodied' in conditions.  Just so you have an idea who is really damaged.  If it's been taken 75% of it's hit points in damage I'll put "Near Death" in the conditions.

Simon is flying over the battle and finds the largest cluster of creatures.  He floats down 20', pulls out a fire bomb as a free action and tosses it at H-8, where the small crab and the swarm is sitting on top of each other.  He uses precise bombs to avoid Crozar.

Attack: [1d20+11]=13+11=24, Damage: [4d6+10]=14+10=24; BOOM!

Small Crab Save: [1d20+1]=10+1=11, Small Crab Save: [1d20+1]=7+1=8; Failed!, Failed! 
Large Swarm: [1d20+6]=6+6=12; FAILED! 

[[1 small crab and the Large Swarm both took a direct hit!  Damage: 24pts!]
[[1 small crab takes full splash damage.  Damage: 10pts! ]]

Selina's Turn

Dog's Turn

Betimi steps back, so she's no longer flanking with Tomeal.  She loads her crossbow and fires at the creature.  The bolt flies over its body and buries itself in the fleshy ground behind it.  [Missed by 1pt]

Ning opens his maw and blows forth a 15' cone of fire and acid at the creatures to the north...

Small Crab: [1d20+1]=5+1=6, Medium Lice: [1d20+2]=9+2=11; Failed!; Failed!
Large Swarm: [1d20+6]=14+6=20; Succeeded!  

The small crab bursts in flame and quickly turns to ash while the Medium Lice and Swarm cry out with a shrill chittering sound!
Breath Weapon: [1d4]=4; returns in 4 rounds.


Waiting for Selina to do her action...

[[ You're in a bit of a pickle because at least 1 of those swarms are likely going to hit you and they do a lot of damage!  Remember 5' steps don't provoke AoO's.  Also the Swarms seem to only move 10' a round.

My suggestions would be...

1. Step to G9.  Let Ning's Spitfire go over your head. Avoid Swarm 2's attack.  Or...
   
2. Move to I-10 to hopefully avoid Swarm 1's attack.  Or...
   
3. Move to I-8. Hopefully avoid both swarms attacks. Set up your elemental to flank on bug at J-8.
   

Personally #3 looks like your best bet.  But it's up to you.

[[OOC: I was thinking 5e where the 5' step would provoke.  In that case, I will move to I-8, and will be attempting to flank with the Elemental.]]
