[spoiler]Yeah, as posted in the initiative order. RJ, Oggug, Cade, etc.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]
A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.

:P

Well, yeah, I don't really have much to do (as No ranged attacks I have can reacht he Vrock, and if I DD up, I can't take any actions that round, even with my Belt of Battle). I guess I still shouldn've said something, though. :P Maybe Cade can fling RJ up?

Unable to see what exactly is going on, Cade waits to be able to help one of his allies.

[spoiler]Seriously, there's not a lot I can do right now. I've been waiting for a definitive plan for... a while.[/spoiler]

Marlowe calls out, "Invisible vrock, about 120 feet above her!", hoping his allies will be able to do something.

"On it."

Otome doutei wo musabaru mono, Bonerges! Sono atsukamashii chinpira wo kurau ga ii!!

With those alien-sounding, yet imposing words, a mass of tentacles sprouts in the open air in the position noted by Marlowe.

And they're on fire.

[spoiler]Using Versatile Spellcaster for Daltim's Fiery Tentacles (which is basically EBT with added fire damage, targets that are grappled take it with no save). Whoever's beefy enough and has a Con score eats two points of damage to make it bigger (as per Widen), thanks to Eldritch Corruption. Using up the Rod of Empower function as well.
Tentacle rape, now with MOAR PEPPER! (1d20+9=26, 1d20+17=33, 1d6+4=8)[/spoiler]
Gendou Ikari is basically Gregory House in Kaminashades. This is FACT.

[spoiler]What's the first d20 roll? A touch attack? Do you need that with EBT? Or was that to check for the effects of Wild Magic?

Opposed grapple check: 1d20+20=31

So the vrock is grappled. It takes 8 damage, and how much fire damage?

[/spoiler]There is a satisfying *SQUAWK* and Raoul can smell the odor of burning feathers waft down to him.

[spoiler]Touch attack. As I recall, the Wild Magic check is a d100 roll. Assuming Empower works, it takes an additional 12 fire damage. EDIT: Incidentally. How does this thing work? (1d100=34)[/spoiler]

[spoiler]From the rules thread in this forum: "Wild" magic rules: 1-25 fails entirely, 26-75 means it works normally, 76-95 doubles in strength, and 96-100 something weird happens.

So your spell worked normally. [/spoiler]

In his exaggerated, alien fashion, Xuuvosic shrugs, "Wouldn't have thought fire would do fuck all. But hell, lets light the motherfucker up. And Oaxool, pick up the big guy and fly him wherever he wants, moan at the Vrock if you get a chance. Cade, don't get my damn cloaker killed, if the situation goes fubar get back to within 60 feet of me." With that, X. lobs a pair of fireballs, one from either tentacular 'hand', at the center of Raoul's spell (21, 33).

[spoiler]Reflex saves: 1d20+11=26, 1d20+11=17

So that's a save vs. the first, and fail vs. the second. Right?[/spoiler]You hear another squawk and see a few burned feathers waft towards the ground from within the mass of squirming tentacles.

Upon being picked up by the cloaker, Cade shifts into Naked Monkey Touch stance, and allows the creature to fly him toward where he understands a Vrock is to be encountered. Upon getting within 10 feet, he unleashes a barrage of blows.

[spoiler]Since nothing's been done lately, I figure it can't hurt to just go ahead and try to smash the thing.
Naked Monkey Touch ignores hardness and damage reduction, and reduces a foe's movement rate by 10 ft for each successful hit.

Full attack:
1d20(20)+18=38 *crit chance*
1d20(2)+13=15
1d20(18)+18=36
1d20(15)+13=28


Critical confirmation:
1d20(8)+18=26

Damage rolls:
3d6+18=25
3d6+18=32
this attack probably doesn't land
3d6+18=31
3d6+18=26


possible crit damage:
3d6+18=33

Estimated damage w/ crit and assuming standard vrock DR: 115
w/o crit: 82
Assuming 3 successful hits, the vrock is also slowed by 30 ft of movement speed. Also assuming the slowing doesn't get doubled on a crit, or there'd be another 10' down.

Free of the dampening effects of the field, Marlowe peers down the sights of his crossbow at the vrock, lips pursed in disapproval.
[spoiler]Since I can see the thing and have little else to do, I'll study it for a death attack.[/spoiler]

The big monk leaps from the ground, and as he soars upward he sees the demon hovering above the ground, with an evil glee obvious on its face. It's glee turns to horror as its ribs crack loudly from Cade's first punch however, and blood spews out of its mouth. It deftly manages to avoid his second swing, despite being bound in the flaming tendrils of Raoul's spell.

[spoiler]The crit hit. Even though the Vrock is 170 in the air, I think Cade could still barely reach it with a charge thanks to the Haste on him.

As per our discussions, you all have Fly, Message, and True Seeing active, as well as all the stuff in Xuuvosic's big spoilered list just up the page a bit. So RJ can fly over to the Vrock as well, if she wants. It looks pretty fucked up after that blow from Cade's fist.[/spoiler]

In the wake of the ruckus the giant Cade makes, Ris-Janna takes the opportunity to dart up to the vrock concealed by the monk's bulk and emerges right next to him, laying into the demon with her daggers.

[spoiler]Okay, let's see if I remember all her stats... That's a charge, giving +2 to hit, and assuming the vrock is a standard-issue one and thus not immune to crits, she gets another +2 from her Rogue class feature. Finally, due to Island of Blades, she's considered flanking with Cade from any adjacent space, so that gives another +2 and enables Sneak Attack. That combined +6 all goes into Power Attack for +12 damage.
On the damage side, we have Sneak Attack +2d6, and another +1d6 on her off-hand dagger, plus Craven. Snicker-snack.
Main hand attack, damage (1d20+21=38, 1d4+2d6+20=25)
Off hand attack, damage (1d20+21=26, 1d4+3d6+20=37)

I also have some Tiger Claw Bracers noted on my sheet that I believe were supposed to hold a Pouncing Charge, but that seems like massive overkill here.[/spoiler]

The vrock detects the approaching figure, and swings wildly at her, but misses Ris-Janna just before her blades punch deep into its feathered flesh. Shrieking, it stops moving, but remains held aloft by the firey, tentacled web of Raoul's spell.

[spoiler]1d20+15=33, 2d6+6=8
miss chance: 1d100=1[/spoiler]

Cade lands and says, "Well, I guess you could say that its goose is cooked." He then tries to determine where the Find the Path spell is directing the group.
