The Jade Arenas of Heaven: Poison Desires [OOC]

[Aoiroo]

16, which is actually 15 because she was bruised, but now she's bruised times two, but still good for attacking. So she power attacks, and hits because of his defense being lowered with all out attack, that's DC 21 to him. Also, concentration roll to keep null, 27, nulls still on.

[trollthumper]

And Bastion takes another Bruise and is Stunned once more. Mad Dog is next.

[Lone Star]

Mad Dog neatly makes the save.

So he'll retaliate with another +5/-5 Power Attack/All-Out Attack.

1d20+16=22 I hope that makes it. It's a DC 30 Toughness for Red Rook.

[Aoiroo]

Well since Bastion's stunned, attack attempt(with all out attack and power attack), 15, fail, maintaining nullification 27, so there we go.

[trollthumper]

That will in fact make it, LS. And Red Rook makes a 17... which, as he's already Staggered, means he's down. That means we go into Round 9 with just Bastion and Changeling:

Bastion: 24, Bruised x2, Stunned (Changeling's Action), Mental Powers Nullified, 0 HP

Changeling: 5, Bruised x1, 0 HP

As Bastion was Stunned, he can't act this round. But the stun faded right before Changeling's turn, which meant the attack didn't hit. Which means I'll wait for another IC post from Changeling in response to Bastion's IC response to getting Stunned off his ass before we go into Round 10.

[Lone Star]

I have to head to work shortly, but I'll make an IC post when I get back.

[trollthumper]

Another All-Out Attack on the part of Bastion, lowering his Defense by 2 and raising his Attack to +15.

(15:20:01) ChatBot: trollthumper rolls 1d20 and gets 3.

Which is an 18, which misses. Changeling is up.

[Aoiroo]

(18:20:27) ChatBot: Aoiroo rolls 1d20 and gets 14.

+12 modifier, with all out and power attack, DC 21.

[trollthumper]

(15:21:40) ChatBot: trollthumper rolls 1d20 and gets 6.

Which means he makes a 14, which means he's Bruised and Stunned once more and takes no action. So, for Round 11:

Bastion: 24, Bruised x3, Stunned (Changeling's Action), Mental Powers Nullified, 0 HP

Changeling: 5, Bruised x1, 0 HP

Changeling's up next.

[Aoiroo]

(18:23:19) ChatBot: Aoiroo rolls 1d20 and gets 18.

+10 concentration keeps the null up for the round.

[Aoiroo]

(18:25:52) ChatBot: Aoiroo rolls 1d20 and gets 8.

Does that hit? He's stunned right, if it does DC 21 cause All Out Attack and Power Attack, so that's 20. Also, roll to keep null,

(18:27:16) ChatBot: Aoiroo rolls 1d20 and gets 4.

Null is down.

[trollthumper]

Sadly, that won't hit, as the Stun typically fades before the attacker's next turn. So while Bastion wasn't able to get an attack off this round, he did have his full Defense when Changeling. Which means the attack misses. So, Round 12:

Bastion: 24, Bruised x3, 0 HP

Changeling: 5, Bruised x1, 0 HP

Bastion responds to his powers coming back online by throwing another TK burst. And missing horribly. Changeling's turn.

[Aoiroo]

Well, Changeling is going to try and feint as a move action 25 to be beaten, and the -5 so it's DC 20, if it works he's flatfooted, and lets see, attack roll 19. Well that's not gonna hit if he beats the feint.

[trollthumper]

He resists, sadly, meaning the attack won't hit. So, Round 13:

Bastion: 24, Bruised x3, 0 HP

Changeling: 5, Bruised x1, 0 HP

Bastion strikes again with TK-fu. He uses an All-Out Attack to hit... and is successful. DC27 Toughness save for Changeling.

[Aoiroo]

She turns invisible as a reaction, it hits like you said, 22, stunned and bruised than. Still invisible, so it's Bastion turn again.

[trollthumper]

Okay, Round 14. Bastion attempts to hit the now invisible Changeling with TK again, but it misses entirely in the blindest of blind fires. So now it's Changeling's turn again.

[Aoiroo]

Etain power attack, 25, she scores, DC 21 toughness save.

[trollthumper]

And he's Stunned and Staggered.

Bastion: 24, Bruised x3, Stunned (Changeling's Action), Staggered, 0 HP

Changeling: 5, Bruised x2, 0 HP

We skip his action this round, so Changeling's turn again.

[Aoiroo]

All out attack, and power attack equal 18 miss I'm guessing? She's still concealed though. DC 21 hit.

[trollthumper]

Concealed means surprise, surprise means flat-footed, flat-footed means it hits. And he goes down.

We are now out of combat. Hero Points and health are refreshed.

[trollthumper]

As Fulcrum seems to be the only one with Eidetic Memory, I'll ask her to give me a Knowledge (history) check.

[Dariusprime]

Knowledge (History) check via Eidetic Memory (1d20+2=20) Bam! :D

[trollthumper]

Here's what she knows:

Qin Shi Huang was the First Emperor of China. He was renowned as an innovator, a uniter, a ruler... and a despot. He united China from many states into a single political entity - in fact, it's believed the word "China" comes from his name. He also worked his subjects like dogs, burned books that offered up differing political and philosophical systems, and buried scholars after he felt deceived by alchemists. He's believed to have died in the 3rd century BC... though in his final years, he desperately pursued an alchemical elixir that would bestow immortality.

[Dariusprime]

Would you like to continue this thread, TT?

[trollthumper]

Yes. I was waiting for someone to respond to the fact that one of the guests is choking.
