>>50029
Well, that changes my assessment of the room

>>50030
>Summoning monster
That might make things worse. Is it going to be a distraction to take the hits instead?

>>50031
>Is it going to be a distraction to take the hits instead
Yeah, what else would you do with a weak-ass monster.

>>50029
The doors are thick, heavy wood reinforced with dimeterium. The windows are open-air bars about 10"x10".
The one that's moving expands in size and shape, becoming a very large swirl of destroyed cloth and mist that only vaguely resembles a cloaked humanoid, except of much larger size.
A long and low whispering moan issues forth, reverberating through the hall.

[1d20+21 = 37]
>>50033
>reinforced with dimeterium
Fucking leftists, throwing taxpayer money away.
Listen check, to determine source of moaning, and determine how many creatures are moving.

>>50032
Just so long as they don't attack good creatures on sight. Although admittedly even that may still be a plus if it can't beat the AC but is still an attractive target to enemies

>>50034
>"more mummies?"

>>50035
Summoned monsters attack enemies.

>>50034
The creatures, other than the one who moaned, are utterly silent. Others have started to move, more a swirl of shuddering dust and decayed layers of filth, almost like ash in a way.
The one that moaned swirls up and into the air, then speeds toward - and then through- the cell window. The others issue a similar long and low moan as they coalesce into a comparable creepy humanoid figure. The first is the biggest.

[startled pony noises]

>>50038
Detect evil to determine which ones have what relative auras

Is Torc in any danger currently?

>>50040
I told you, there's 4 overwhelming evil and 3 superior or whatever the lesser level one is

>>50039
>"Stand beside me and block the hallway, they won't be able to attack us more than one or two at a time, and they can't flank"

>>50042
Trumpaladin stands back from the door in the hallway, somewhat towards the door they came in, and faces them

>>50040
Assume the big one is the evilest.
Don't wast three rounds.
Now would be a good time to cast a spell for the battle.

>>50044
Eh. What do you want?

>>50045
Eagle's splendor is useful for saves. Prayer is too.

>>50046
She'd have to remain in an adjacent square for Eagle's splendor to affect her as well.

>>50047
Just use Prayer then, or whatever you think is appropriate.

So both are in ready move then? Doing nothing, but gaining instant initiative?

[1d4+1 = 2]
>>50049
I'm ready.
Tracy starts off by casting Summon Monster III, to summon 1d4+1 Fiendish Hawks towards the biggest monster, taking a step back behind Trumpaladin.

>>50049
Exchange ring of evasion for ring of protection with move action, and cast Prayer with standard action

>2 hawks
Eh, enough to start things off and see what we're up against..

>>50050
<POOF><POOF>
Said hawks fly into the hall, already at full speed and spinning toward the large one already in the hall.
>>50051
Decided

>>50054
>>50041
Not atm

>>50051
*humps leg a little bit, then returns to her position*

>>50054
No, not immediately though he does hear noises from way down the stairs

>>50053
How did the monster react?

[2d20 = 4]
>>50058
I'm setting up for initiative rolls. I need Tracy and hawk-things, and Trump. Rolling for Giant-ass house on haunted hill motherfuckers.

srsly

[1d20+4 = 20]
>>50059
Rolling for Tracy

>>50059
Rolling

[1d20 = 14]
>>50062
Or not

Tracy wins, followed by Trump, followed by dreadwraiths.
The hawks disintegrate into dust upon striking the thing.

[1d20+9 = 21]
Snek listen checks on those noises

>>50064
That's... Good to know ahead of time..
"These guys are going to be a pain.."
*raises Tower shield*

>>50067
"Do you want to attack them? You have initiative"

>>50069
"I just spent my turn."
>4th wall cracks further

>>50064
What's the distance?

>>50070
No, I think that the hawk summoning was before we rolled initiative, and at the same time I cast the spell

>>50071
You're gonna want eagle's splendor. These things won't go down easily without a Smite...

>>50073
I think we're all here now

>>50074
But I'll bet they're incorporeal, so a Smite would miss anyways...

>>50076
*cough* turn undead *cough*

>>50078
Also this, although it's not likely to work on the big ones..

>>50073
He lives! There's the movie in the usual place, otherwise Trump and Tracy are about to get >wraithed
Infernius is just behind the sudden door, leaving a blocked passage toward Trump/Tracy, and a hallway that leads back to where Thez/Infernius beat the piss outta somr wraiths

>>50078
Hit die might be too high, but I can try. I'm still waiting for Tracy's faggot to declare an action, since he's higher in the chain of intiative

>>50079
Please declare an action, preferably an attack

[3d20 = 38]
Wait is it still Tracy's turn?
Tracy attacks with her chain.

*targetting the big one

>>50082
She also drops her shield, because it's useless atm.

>>50080
*fugs thez*
*And then kicks in the door.*

Torc declares "what the actual fuck is going on?"
Then heads towards wherever the fuck the others are cause even his faggot doesn't know

>>50086
See the map in >>49663. You are at the stairs

>>50087
But what the fuck is happening?

>>50088
Tracy and Trumpaladin are trapped in a hallway with a bunch of dread wraiths.
Infernius and Fae are chasing the mage from earlier.
Torc is standing at the top of the stairs, with Thez.

>>50088
Trumpaladin and Tracy went down a different hallway with a bunch of cells, and an anti-magic door closed behind them, which Infernius wants to break down appearently. Thez, Torcuil, and Snek are at the top of a stairway. Snek signaled that he heard something. GM says Torcuil hears something downstairs. Trumpaladin and Tracy, in their respective hallway, are about to be attacked by wraiths

>>50090
"What did you hear boy?"

>>50092
Pony movie

>>50093
Ah..

>>50095
I had planned on doing this. I have all sorts of determined stats and attributes, but tonight I really just feel like looking cute ponerz. I hope there's no offense

>>50096
Alright then.

>>111333 → unintended digits confirm

>>50097
>>50096
Wait. If a character has 23 levels in classes where a given skill is a class skill, and 4 levels in a class where the skill is not a class skill, then is the maximum number of levels he can have with 27 levels less than 30?

>>50099
Correct

>>50100
WHY IS LEGENDARY COMMANDER AN EPIC FIGHTER BONUS FEAT IF DIPLOMACY IS NOT A FIGHTER CLASS SKILL

>>50101
Poor writing.

>>50102
Also, muh options.

>>50101
Let your tears rain down

>>50104
Pic

>>50102
>>50104
Why is Fighter such a blatantly inferior class in 3.5? Like it wouldn't be so bad if half the Fighter Bonus Feat list didn't have obscenely high ability score prerequisites, or if it had a few more class skills, or if it gave ability score increases every however many levels like in the 5th edition

>>50105
Fighter is the chad class.

>>50106
Paladin is pretty lame at epic level as well, hence why I was thinking about multi-classing

I want more levels soon..
Think I'll do two more in Blackguard, then go for Assassin or Rogue.

>>50108
I just hope I can stab some squishy living targets with deep pockets soon. I can't remember the last time she actually made a Sneak Attack.

>>50105
Noice pali. Its to prevent lazy fighters desu

>>50109
It was Felicia. Not very long ago actually

>>50110
How so? Like distant shot for example, is a very nice looking Epic Feat on the Fighter Epic Bonus feat list. But it requires 20 ranks in Spot, which is not a Fighter Class skill (at least it's a Ranger class skill). And Epic Leadership is a Fighter Epic Bonus Feat, but it requires 25 Charisma, which a character is not going to have unless they are multiclassing in from Bard or Sorcerer or Paladin

>>50111
Nah, pretty sure she would've died after those first three slashes from Trumpaladin. I doubt she's that buff...

I'm glad Sneak Attack of Opportunity and Lingering Damage don't have bullshit prerequisites.

Does this dimerterium block dimensional travel? It doesn't in the Witcher, but idk how it works in this game.

>>50113
Reeeee. So Jelly of the sneak attacks that stack with multiclass. The closest Paladin equivalent - Great Smite - has a prerequisite of 25 Charisma

>>50112
Maybe? Sneak attack definitely would have killed her, even if she succeeded on fort saves for Death attack

>>50114
Piece of that door could make for a great spell-blocking shield...

>>50115
You'd get a +6d6 Sneak Attack if you fell.
Tracy can't do shit to undead though...

I with Blackguards or Assassins could cast Blacklight..

>>50117
Well yeah, but there'd be many other consequences as well. You also better hope all that Dimetrium doesn't nuetralize the magic on the weapons. If it does, you better pray to whatever gods may be that Trumpaladin rolls high on his turn check, because otherwise both are fucked
\r

>>50119
Does turning count as magic?

>>50119
Wraiths and other incorphoreal monsters are unaffected by dimerterium in The Wither (you need moondust to get them). Maybe the two could phase back through the door.

If I doubt they'll die, but it'd suck if they got turn into wraiths..

>>50120
Goddamn it

>>50121
The metal seems to exist only in the Witcher and is not canon to D&D, so I don't know

Tracy was able to summon monsters earlier, so I guess the metal isn't nearly as radiant as it is in The Witcher.

>>50124
An Antimagic field would cause incorporeal undead to cease to appear on the material realm within the field. So whatever the metal does (my bet is it prevents phasing through) is not as extreme as an anti-magic field

>>50125
There's also the walls on either side of the door, but we'll get to that later.

Going to bed.

>>50126
I very sincerely doubt that they would have placed the stuff in the doors, but not the walls

>>50127
Remind me to rip all of the precious metals out of the walls.

>>50126
Actually, you know what? If this is three Dread Wraiths and four Wraiths, and if the weapons aren't useless, this is doable. Trumpaladin has the Fortitude saves for it

All declared actions are valid. Consider this GM phoning in for the day

>>50130
What is the result of >>50082?

>>50111
Distant shot needs 20 ranks in spot?
Ugh

>>50130
What'd the monsters do?
