« Last post by Kashtan on Today at 02:35:57 pm »nooo Yulya wanted me to ask if they were undead but i wanted to rush on bc we were already losing so much time with the outages. she saw it coming. but hoped it would at least hit Nezzner. at least bane worked. so what now? even with bane they have aoe attacks that could kill Yulya and even Cat in a few rounds. Yulya and Cat could run off in different directions and Yulya could help M3gan take down the bulette with toll the dead. or Yulya casts turn undead and force the skulls into the arcs. no idea how much wis they have. it would buy us time until M3gan is done.

« Last post by Joy on Today at 09:32:21 am »[Bear] I dreamt I home-invasion robbed two houses in my neighborhood without a mask, then kept going back and sneaking into and around the homes. The premise was that we (exgf and I) needed furniture or something so she encouraged me to but then acted shocked when I did it.
Then it was all about climbing steps and eating chocolate. At one point I was spongebob to eat a caramello. Then I went to bestie's old school and talked to her old teacher about when I sat in class with the kids for a month (an old dream) it was 10pm but still sunny outside. (Doesn't happen here).
Then I went to several beach parties only to avoid talking to anyone. And climbed more unstable stairs.
Finally I met with warehouse workers and told some vaguely Asian girl that she looked exactly like someone I knew yesrs ago. But said it with racial undertones.
Then exgf overpaid for a worthless room full of old toys and junk.
Again, so mixed up and all over the place.

Bulette uses thrash.
M3gan Panther and the Bulette Zombie continue to clash, locked in mortal combat, she holds him at bay but its thrashing keeps her barely holding, countering its thrashing, but unable to get an attack in.
In the off chance they do understand you, they're not in the mood to parlay.
Alice focuses on keeping Nezzner restrained. She again spends 1 Ki point on Flurry of blows and attempts to shove him prone as a bonus action. If that works, Alice attempts to strike the staff out of Nezzner's hand. If she has one more attack left, Alice switches to her Shortsword and tries to cut off Nezzner's last ring.
[AC12 vs Flurry of Blows (he is already prone and grappled) Disarm, Equip Short Sword, Focused Attack 1d20+3+2d4+2=13,16]
To his utter dismay, he is relieved of another finger with ring attached and his staff.
[Grapple vs DC15 1d20+2=11]
Despite his best attempt, he cannot free himself from Alice's grip. However, since she changed her focus he was able to use his amulet.
[In case you didn't notice, he didn't make his move last time after grappled because of course he couldn't do much with Alice keeping him from magic using.]
In a brilliant flash of light both Nezzner and Alice disappear.
[To be continued...]
[HIDDEN ROLLS][Embolding Bond has expired due to loss of one of the bonded.]
Temporarily confused by the loss of their master the Flaming skulls are delayed just enough to give Cat initiative over them.
Cat keeps focused on Nezzner but is aware of the skulls. She gives Yulya [2d6=9 THP]. Cat starts her sweeping strike but to her dismay Nezzner disappears with Alice without a trace leaving her only one of the skulls to strike.
[HIT vs AC13 1d20+4+1+2+1d4=CM]
With a serious blow to her ego, Cat whiffs the strike and misses the skull entirely.
[ARCANA 1d20+5=9]
Yulya doesn't know what he did other than use his amulet but she can't sense his magic any longer, just like the Spectator, he's just gone and Alice with him. She realizes she's just lost her focus on Nezzner and twins BANE (2 targets 30ft) with INFLICT WOUNDS, amplifies it with the goblin staff, and casts it on the two skulls.
Yulya is shocked, apparently, to find out that these abominations are actually undead, unlike the ghouls, and Inflict Wounds uses necrotic damage which actually heals undead due to it's negative energy. Though Bane does work, she wastes 1MP and 1SP in the process, leaving the two in otherwise pristine condition.
[CHA vs DC16 1d20=9,9]
At the very least, they are affected by Bane.
Finding herself trapped between a zombie bulette and flaming skulls she nervously looks around in all directions to find some cover. Yulya remembers M3gan brought the girls to safety - but where? Yulya searches the area for a hidden passage or escapeway, she retreats 30ft southwest seeking cover in a niche.
The flaming skulls look at each other in confusion once again.
[Did you know, Flaming skulls are immune to Fire? It figures right?]
Flaming Skull1 and Flaming Skull2 both cast Fireball.
[DEX vs DC13 1d20+1+1d4(A)=(12,CR),(10,CR)]
Incredibly, remarkably, impossibly, Cat once again, owing in part to her advantage in dexterity, stands in the midst of flames, not just 1 but 2 fireballs, and by the grace of Cat God she is completely unscathed.
The flaming skulls are noticeably shocked.
[Alice is not on the field of battle, so no action is required from her. Make your moves.]

Alice glances South to the flaming skull
Nice skull! I still wanna be your friend! And that Spectator's. So pls don't fireball me!

Oh wait, it did happen on the 2000€ Macbook Pro that was gifted to my host way before I was born. Everything on this junk broke. Screen, HD, CD drive, and finally the GPU. Meanwhile, the de-googled Chromebooks for 1/10 that price work flawlessly for a decade now.

« Last post by Joy on Yesterday at 05:06:37 pm »[Bear] In the midst of the forum shutdown, my computer fan started making noise on and off so I had to replace it for the third time. it's a 2 hour procedure involving the tiniest little cable connections that are a huge pain in the ass. Never getting a laptop again, nevertheless I have one and that's what I have until I don't.

« Last post by Yulya on Yesterday at 02:51:57 pm »Totally ignored Yulya helplessly watches the fight between Mormesk and the Spectator while Nezzner is able to do Nezzner things without facing resistance
Dont let Nezzner escape! Focus everything on him!
Impossible!
Yulya twins BANE (3 targets 30ft) with INFLICT WOUNDS amplifies it with the goblin staff and casts it on the two skulls and Nezzner.
Finding herself trapped between a zombie bulette and flaming skulls she nervously looks around in all directions to find some cover. Yulya remembers M3gan brought the girls to safety - but where? Yulya searches the area for a hidden passage or escapeway. If she finds none she retreats 30ft southwest seeking cover in a niche
The spectator's flaming skulls move to get a clear shot at Mormesk and fire rays of lightning bolt and fire bolt.Yulya has never witnessed such high-tier magic and is just glad none of her party was the target. With the Spectator and his barrier gone there are 2 huge obstacles out of the way and Mormesk appears to have some reason left in his undead skull. But Yulya wonders how the flaming skulls can still be active with their master gone.
Mormesk dodges the rays and casts Greater Hedged Imprisonment.
A skeletal judge appears from the negative plane sitting at a regal wooden desk engraved with macabre scenes of skeleton warriors and angels caught in epic battle. The spectator is restrained by spectral chains that glint in the cave lights that line the walls. The judge seems to be looking over dark ethereal paperwork and points a long boney finger at the Spectator. Though he says nothing audible, it's clear a conversation is occurring between them on another plane.
The judge pounds a ornate ebony gavel and both the judge and the Spectator are instantly teleported out of the material plane. Yulya can instantly tell that the barrier the Spectator has been maintaining is down. This means too that Nezzner has a chance to escape.
You get a communication from Mormesk, "I presume you can handle this situation, I shall return soon to collect my payment as we previously agreed." He disappears without a trace.Yulya sighs and shakes her head.
Dont let Nezzner escape! Focus everything on him!
Alice fixates Nezzner and prioritizes keeping him from using somatic or verbal commands. She tries stretching out his arms for Cat to cut off his rings.Yulya clenches her fists
With a focused and deft heavy blow Cat manages to lop off three of his rings. As the fingers separate from his body, you see one of them clearly attempting to heal before it falls helplessly to the ground, another instantly disappears to an unknown location using greater teleport, a third clings to life for a few moments before finally giving up the ring. As you can clearly see, he had quite a few tricks up his sleeve.
With enough leeway to dodge, but at the disadvantage of Alice's grapple, Nezzner defies logic and avoids all damage from Yulya's attack!
Impossible!
