It's the Friendly Fractal Fruit Farmers Fall sale! All ghasts MUST GO! (enc)

[Kuroimaken]

Amusingly enough, the ghasts seem to be a little too preoccupied by the fact some crazy woman flew out of the barn and nuked their pretty little formation to notice Kyx's spellcasting, at least at first.

(Initiative, people.)

[spoiler]Initiative: 1d20+2=6

Eren will move 90ft past the crowd, revert to her natural form as a free action and use her breath weapon (20ft cone of cold, 2d8=8 damage). She will deliberately provoke AoOs once she is in natural form - if the ghasts are close enough she'll just revert at the start of the round and move 20ft past them in her natural form.

Anything that hits her in her natural form must make a DC16 Reflex save or become stuck (grappled?).


Status
Haste (+30ft speed, +1 attack/AC/Ref, one additional attack)[/spoiler]

I readied a glitterdust for when the door opened.  So, I guess I lead this round or something?

[spoiler]Well, as I said, the massive curtain of fireballs just might have a little something to do with it.  You're right in using the ghast's stats from the MM1 as a base, though - what little changes from the normal there are aren't reflected by a possessed ghast anyway.
I believe you said you'd be laying an Evard's to cover everyone's route. Mind rolling? IIRC there is no save on that.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Well... technically I'd have to roll a grapple check (and damage) vs. every ghast in the area (a 20' wide radius)... How about we use a random distribution, and just say that so many are grappled, and take average damage, etc?

The grapple mod for the tentacles is +19, and they do 1d6+4 damage. The ghast's have a +5. I have a spreadsheet for opposed roll statistics, with an image of the graph output here: http://i1014.photobucket.com/albums/af269/PhaedrusXY/RHoD/opposedrollstatistics.jpg A difference in modifiers of -15 would only give each ghast about a 2.5% chance of succeeding. A -14 would be slightly better for them, with maybe a 5% chance. So how about we say one in 20 is not grappled, the rest get 7.5 damage and are grappled, and call it good? [/spoiler]

Should I post an action now or wait until you declare a round starts?

God, I love DMing with people who know their math. It makes things so much easier.[/spoiler]

[skydragonknight]

Normally, he was the live-to-see-another day type. But behind him was a barn full of chickens - the one form of life that truly understood him and accepted him for who he was (and didn't mind being made into the occasional lunch meat)! He could not let them down now, nor could he let down the hungry masses who craved the delicatessens that chef-kind had to offer!

No, for the sake of natural food lovers everywhere, he would not fail!

Running forward into battle, he slashes with his giant cleaver at one of the ghasts that has been illuminated by one of his teammates, giving it a nice clean cut like he would do to any other meat-based lifeform.

"Forward, 'Knights of the Dinner Table!'" he yells in a loud voice.

[spoiler]Power attack charge vs. Touch AC (1d20+13=28, 1d10+25=26)
Hmm...either dead or close.

Edit: Leading the Charge stance from Ghiktibur adds +7 damage for 33. I think that does it.[/spoiler]

[The_Mad_Linguist]

[spoiler]So, does my glitterdust DC 17 do anything?[/spoiler]

[Kuroimaken]

[spoiler]Yeah, it's basically keeping the ones closest to the door unable to actually do much. In case you didn't notice, breaking out is a better option than trying to outlast them...[/spoiler]

And now for the part that's going to make me abso-freaking-lutely hate myself for placing this many opponents against y'all... the attack rolls.

None of which are made this round. Between Matsuko's carpet-bombing and Kyx's tentacle rape of doom, you guys have just about enough room to make a break for it. Eren is on fire, so the ghasts won't actually bother to attack her (they still took those AoOs by reflex. But they only managed to get themselves stuck anyway... and catch on fire).

May I suggest you run for your lives?

"Looks like it's worse than we thought! I suggest..." Talon sighs, or makes the motion of it at the very least, "a tactical retreat. Use the space we've got to escape past them, and then make a break for it. Maybe we can slow them down enough to buy us some time. Still... I wonder how exactly they all knew to find us in here..."

[spoiler]Is there any way to estimate, now that the doors are open, how many are out there? Also, how much space is there between them and the doorway? I know the point of the first few combat maneuvers we've seen was to clear some space, but how much space is there? And which way are we going once we get out of here?

I'll post my actions once I know if it's even my turn... Seems Flay's been gone for a few days, so who knows when he'll get around to updating.[/spoiler]

"Run! Run for the hills!"

[skydragonknight]

"So it has come to zis...so be it." Paul says, pulling a tiny bag off his belt and opening it. With a flick of the wrist, he throws it at the nearest group of Ghasts. "Special Attack! Fountain of Feathers!"

Out of the bag came 50 chickens (and an equal number of copper pieces), which started to run around like crazy. Using the confusion, Paul started to book it out of there.

[spoiler]I guess I wasn't explicit enough...

You know the farm had somewhere between 1000-2000 workers at any given time. I'm going to let that info sink in for a second.

You currently see ghasts as far as your magical senses can tell.

Now connect the dots.

Matsuko and Kyx are basically working in such a fashion as to allow you guys to run out in a straight line. Kyx is trying to keep the "sides" from spilling into the place by means of Evard's spell.

In addition, Paul's actions (on round 2) were disconcerting enough that the ghasts have a WTF stare on their faces, and pondering what the hell they're trying to nom on here. 
[/spoiler]
Round two actions (except Paul, of course). Assume Matsuko is mantaining the carpet-bombing so as to try and leave enough space for you guys to run. Of course, airlifting would be ideal, for those who can.
