We Dread This Search May Have Been for Naught
« on: October 24, 2014, 12:23:20 AM »
A listing of spells cast:

Benlin has Interplanar Telepathic Bond cast on: himself, Kerkly, Parker, Rubius, and Ari
Benlin has True Seeing cast of Kerkly
Benlin has Greater Luminous Armor cast on himself
Benlin casts Elation (+2 Dex, +2 Str, and +5 Speed) all morale bonuses on everyone

Before Kerkly does anything else, he asks..."Lord Arishimoto, what can this thing do to us?"

The elephant is not here, correct?  But Astrek is.

"Does invisiblity work here?  Do we want spells of physical attacks against this beast?  What happens if we die on the Astral Plane?"

Kerkly Knowledge Planar = 28
Benlin Knowledge Planar = 23

They are at DM's house. In short, lots of HP, does lots of damage, has at least one gaze attack and is generally the fastest creature on the astral.

Benlin knows: spell casting on the astral is a little quirky. All spells count as quickened but don't use a higher slot but you can still only cast one spell per round.

Is that Arcane and Divine?

I believe Manual of the Planes, but I have not looked so I am not sure.

Benlin casts Elation (+2 Dex, +2 Str, and +5 Speed) all morale bonuses on everyone

Tomas has Aid and Haste cast on everyone

Kerkly has Good Hope cast on everyone (the +2 morale bonus on all rolls masks both aids)
Kerkly casts Mass Aid (everyone gets an additional 18 temporary hit points)
Kerkly casts Greater Status (Benlin, Ari, Rubius, Shaar, and Tomas)
Kerkly activates Sacred Vitality (since the spells are quickened)
Kerkly gives Benlin one of the Protection Domain +15 to next save (again since spell is quickened)
Kerkly gives Ari a +15 save touch

Kerkly says, "Benlin, this creature is a huge threat...enact plan C."

Benlin gulps, "Yes, Sir"....

Also, the 6 lantern archons spend the two rounds casting Aid on each other each other.

On the 3rd round, before it gets here, they use their ranged attacks.

Kerkly says, "I think we should spread out in case it can throw a fireball or some such thing."  Note that we all can move a bit faster (+5 feet from Elation and +30 from Haste).

After casting in round 3, Benlin moves 50 feet to the right at a slight angle.

The Archons in round 2 move up and then move over around an above it staying out of reach but within 30 feet of it.  They make a normal move of 95 feet.
