Shadowcaster Battle

Darvin struggled out of the doorway in the mood to punch that slippery Illuvaen in his face. The street was empty of people and the cobblestones had been replaced by neatly arranged tiles. Illuvaen and Nym stood fifteen feet from him kissing, Illuvaen's arms down her side and her hands running up his back. Before he had a chance to do or say anything Illuvaen turned to him and thrust his hand outward. A large green glow erupted and hit him square in the chest.

Shadow Blast:
Roll 1d20
Roll(1d20)+8:
15,+8
Total:23

Damage:
Roll(2d8)+2:
7,4,+2
Total:13

This is psychic damage, which I am saying is the same as your HP, but when you hit 0 instead of dying you are put into a hypnotized dazed state. 

Please roll initiative. Talathel can join in this time as well if he likes, Dohn Aesmi will as well.

  1. Nym laughs "you are certainly pathetic Darvin." She then throws what looks like a lead pipe at you.

    "Darvin! Whatever image you're seeing is not real! Its a shadowcaster. Be strong, and see through his illusions!"

    Talathel, having no frame of reference for battling shadowcasters, only hoped that the words were encouraging.

  4. Talathel, please roll a will check as well. You attack after Darvin

    Talathel spots the shadowcaster, who is seemingly focused on Darvin. He pulls out his kama and takes a swing.

  6. Talathel: As you swing, and miss, the shadowcaster it jumps back and shatters into fragments. Around a corner a woman who looks like Miss Stakes shouts out "Talathel, help! He came over here!"

    Dohn Aeskmi:
    Running out he grunts "not real... not real...

    Dohn attacks as well. Running in a circle around the swirling cloaks he hucks his boomerang once more.

  10. So, quick question about the illusions. Talathel would think the illusion of Miss Stake is real, but he wouldn't necessarily follow it, would he? Given how their last encounter went, Talathel would probably be very weary of Miss Stake suddenly calling for help, and probably would not go dashing off to save the woman who made him realize how important Lailsan was to him.

    Talathel swings and misses.

  11. how he responds is your call. But the important element is that you cannot see the Shadowcaster now - it vanished.

  13. "Why would you want me to save you? I don't think I'm that interested in another walk in the park."

    Talathel looked about him.

    "Oh shit, where did he go?"

    ReplyDelete
  14. "No, you fool!" The Miss Stake look a like said. As you look closer you see that she resembles Lailsan much more than she did before. "He appeared over here after you attacked him, hurry before he gets away!"

  15. Dohn, curious why neither Darvin or Talathel are doing anything, decides to attack.

  17. "Stop flailing around!" Dohn shouts from behind "Whatever you are seeing isn't real!"
    you can try another will save now Darvin

    ReplyDelete
  18. no dice
    "Darvin, just go away. I was a fool for leading you on because you could never be with me. I could never love someone as foolish as you." Nym said in a mocking tone.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Talathel hears Dohn's voice and suddenly feels foolish for attacking the air. He continues to hear Miss Stake. He looks at "her".

    "What do you need saving from, anyway? I'm busy..."

    (A will check, just in case)

  20. She fades from in front of you and you see a dark cloaked figure fighting Darvin.

    you can attack now

    ReplyDelete
  21. The dark robed figure turns and takes a running leap at the suddenly freed Talathel.
    no attack of opportunity for Darvin because he still thinks he is fighting Illuvaen

    Talathel connects with the shadowcaster, who winces a bit in pain, but shows no signs of wear.

  23. because a purely martial combat in this system is a tad boring I am going to make things up.

    Dohn does a spinning "angel kick" right at the shadowcaster's genitals.

    The Shadowcaster doubles over in pain. +2 to all attacks against it.

  24. to speed this up post two attacks at a time instead.

    Dohn uses "drunken boomerang attack!"

    Dohn feels very foolish.

  25. to make this more interesting...

    Twice per round from here on out Darvin can attack versus reflex and Talathel can attack once per round versus 1/2 the creatures AC. You can decide on the names for your special attacks.

    ReplyDelete
  26. sorry, twice per round should read as twice per encounter

    Yes.

    I'm not quite sure how to attack against 1/2 his AC on the spread sheet, but I'll take the critical hit against his entire AC...

  28. To get this battle over with I am going to attack for Darvin.

    Darvin swings his cutlasses at Illuvaen. He uses his "mighty wind" attack and aims toward the weakest point in the creatures body. (vs reflex)

    Roll(1d20)+5:

    Miss

    His second blow was intended to cut off the Illuvaen's head. However, before the sword connected the shape disappeared leaving behind a mass of black cloth.
    "Where did Nym go?" Darvin says excited at the prospect of Illuvaen finally being gone.
    Dohn stares curiously at the two of them. "You aren't the most willful person are you half-elf? However, you two attract foul company. Let's get you to a safe place and I will do all that I can to help you."
