Special Attacks & Abilities
Darkvision out to 90 feet. Light Sensitivity: Deep dwarves are dazzled in bright sunlight or within the radius of a daylight spell. Wizard Variant: Trade familiar for Aninimal companion of a druid that is 1/2 wizard levels. Weapon Familiarity: Dwarves treat dwarven waraxes and dwarven urgroshes as martial weapons, rather than exotic weapons. Stability: Dwarves are exceptionally stable on their feet. A dwarf has a +4 bonus on ability checks made to resist being bull rushed or tripped when standing on the ground (but not when climbing, flying, riding, or otherwise not standing firmly on the ground).
For RP Purposes this is an exotic Dwarven Warpony.

Special Attacks & Abilities Naturally Psionic: Elans gain 2 bonus power points at 1st level. Resistance (Su): Elans can use psionic energy to increase their resistance to various forms of attack. As an immediate action, an elan can spend 1 power point to gain a +4 racial bonus on saving throws until the beginning of her next action. Resilience (Su): When an elan takes damage, she can spend power points to reduce its severity. As an immediate action, she can reduce the damage she is about to take by 2 hit points for every 1 power point she spends. Repletion (Su): An elan can sustain her body without need of food or water. If she spends 1 power point, an elan does not need to eat or drink for 24 hours.
Powers Readied Level 1 [DC 16] Vigor, Control Object, Force Screen, Synesthete, Precognition (offensive). Level 2 [DC 17] Energy Push, Energy Missile
Power Points Available Per Fight: 7 [20 Total Power Points / 3, rounded up] Total Power Points: 20 [(11 Psion 3, 7 Int 20, 2 Elan] Manifester Level: 3
1) Try to get within 50ish ft of him. (or whatever is necessary to pull this off)
**I expect that I can fully
2) Single move to base him(that is, out bases touching), announce a full power attack, and cast true strike(shared on camel), weild axe two-handed. If possible[ie- he's moving around], make sure he's in a position where he can't 5' step & be out of my reach- like around a corner. I want to provoke AoO's later in the fight if my initial attack doesn't kill him.
At this point he can move & draw an AoO, or I get to hit him next turn.
to hit: +22 =+0(norm)+2(invis)+20(true strike) damage: 1d6+2
Have the camel attack first so any readied action he has goes off against it instead of me.
If he doesn't fall to that blow[I think there's a pretty good chance of that], just stay based with him and attack away with the axe. Due to my 10' reach he has to draw an AoO or manifest defensively every round.
This isn't the easiest fight for Varuxor, but it could have been worse. I think I should have enough time to buff, as Thorell will probably go into a invisibility-enlarge-shield/mage armor-true strike routine. So, here's my buffing routine.
Round 1: Start with a Buffing powerstone in hand. Manifest Vigor from it (+15 hp). Look if I can see him and then move to cover. Round 2: Manifest Force Screen. (from the powerstone) Draw dorje of skate Round 3: Activate dorje of skate. Here comes the tricky part.
He will likely come towards me, invisible, and eager to put his glaive in my stomach. Is there much I can do about it? No.
Make myself recognizable and allow him to attack. Take cover though, just in case he'll keep distance. If possible, allow him to attack but avoid him giving a chance to charge by staying close to the pillars cluster in the middle.
After he is visible again, Energy Missile him and his camel. Use Fire missiles, as he doesn't seem to have any fire resistance. (3d6+3, DC 17) Move away to avoid another charge, drawing another buffing stone if he hit me.
Manifest vigor again, than draw a dagger.
We should be close enough to get use of my Control Objects (overchannel it) spell. Cast it and control the dagger, then use it to attack Thorell. The dagger will attack with +6, and damage for 1d6+5. As long as I can keep my concentration continue that way (max 4 rounds).
If he looks badly wounded Energy Missile him and the camel again (Electricity, 3d6. DC 19).
If Thorell isn't invisible Energy Missile him and his camel, until I drop the Camel. Then, with the PP left, manifest control objects and finish him with the Camel saddle or my dagger, whatever is closer to him
As usual, move to prevent charges and get cover whenever is possible.
Remember, I have Autohypnosis and I'm an Elan. If an attack is going to kill me, I can spend 1 pp to save me 2 hp of damage. Do that if it can save me. In case I'm at 0 hp, I can attempt a Willpower check DC 20 (Autohypnosis) to act without taking another point of damage.
Since Varuxors powerstones are priced incorrectly, they will all be dropped for this fight except 2. Since his tactics don't require more than that, i'll leave it to you how to fix it afterwards.
Setup rolls are at http://www.hwx.it/wizards.com/dice.php?sid=1878 Thorell starts in Box 4, with Initiative +3 = 17, mounted on his so-called warpony and holding a scroll of invisibility. Varuxor starts in Box 3, with Initiative +1 = 7 and his buffing Powerstone in hands.

Round 6 Thorell's Camel attacks(3). Thorell barely makes his ride check, and hits Varuxor hard(15).* Varuxor manifests an energy missile defensively(Thorell:12, Camel:13) and then moves away drawing another buffing powertstone(both AoOs miss) . * i decided to go with the ROTG after all. unless coco does some house rules, it's the rotg, right?

Sadly, I don't think this has anything to do with wanting Next to be a great game. It has to do with wanting Next to determine who won the Edition War. [...] For those of us who just want D&D Next to be a good game, this is getting to be a real drag.
I think I figured it out. This program is a character builder, not a character builder. It teaches patience, empathy, and tolerance. All most excellent character traits.

- Always try to set up an ambush using hide and move silently. Remember to have Aiewae make her own spot and listen checks as well. - If spells fail Snaga is in trouble. Use x-bow, fire a shot then retreat. Next round run to maximum distance and reload. Redo from start. (Hopefully his goblin 30’ speed should give him enough distance to load and fire and not enter melee.) - Never cast a spell so as to provoke an attack of opportunity. Either take a 5 foot step or if that is, for some reason, impossible cast defensively. - Use Aiewae to deliver all touch attacks.
Some of these contingencies call for multiple undead from Snaga's Robe of Bones, and for that I am sorry.
Basic Plans: I'm not spotted: Hide until one of my enemies is dead, then use invis. hold person and Coup De Grace.
I am spotted (or I can't delay any longer): Move so they must enter my corner to engage me, then Web them and overwhelm with undead.
That Damn bat: If Kai is trying to use his bat to scout, and it is coming near me, have Aiewae engage it, grapple it to the ground and try to kill it. Aiewaie will flee if anyone else approaches, but will return to kill an isolated bat.
Start as out of sight as possible, near a small statue in a far corner, with a Scroll of web in hand.. Aiewae starts on shoulder.
Move to a small statue and use it for improved cover and to hide. Take a ready action to cast web as soon as someone heads into my corner. If I'm spotted at any point, move out of line of sight, take best defense possible and take a ready action to web them when they are near the Large statue.
If I hear my opponents engaging each other cast Exped. Retreat.
1 foe is down: Cast Invisibility from scroll (unless Foe is Kai, and he has see invisibility up). Sneak up and cast hold person. Then Coup De Grace. Recast Hold person if they make their save. If they make the second save go with the Web/Undead strategy
Foe is Webbed: Once foe is webbed, cast invisibility from scroll. Then drop unread from robe of bones in the following order, Wolf Skeleton, Wolf Zombie, Human Skeleton, Human Zombie, Goblin skeleton. Stop dropping undead once foe leaves the web. Drop the web if it prevents the undead from attacking in unison. While my foe fights the undead (who should be ignoring the invisible me) cast flaming Sphere and have the sphere engage him as well. Then cast true strike, and Scorching ray (switch to scrolls if out of memorized spells).
Feel free to PM me with any questions and thanks again!
P.S. I should Have 9 spell levels available for this fight.

Synopsis So, everyone could use invis in this fight. I don't care about that option, though, as i'll level anyway. Just grapple anyone that comes close.
Setup + Buffs Start in the back of my square, with dorjes out. * Inertial Armor, Drop, Draw Powerstone of Expansion * Expansion, Draw Powerstone of Force Screen * Vigor, Keep Dorje in hands * Force Screen
Engagement Go and grapple someone to death. Basically i don't care who, but if the targets are equally reachable, go for Kai. Else, take the one you can reach. If one of them is dead, switch to the other.
Contingencies * Use Psionic Weapon in the grapple. * Use Grip of Iron as immediate action before starting grapple with Kai. * Use all AoOs to start a grapple. * Always use Flurry. * If reduced to lower than 20 hps: refresh vigor from dorje.

Cast Mage Armor. Cast Shield. Cast Expeditious Retreat. Go whack something with big shiny sword. Use True Strike as needed. 5' step out to avoid AoO's. Use Familiar's 20' Blindsense and 40' movement to localize hiding opponents. Fly over their square to indicate position or use empathy. If can't get to melee range, pull out bow and shoot.
Fight Setup: Valen will begin in the square close to a statue with his scroll of power in hand. Daemon will be in the same square, on his shoulder (always remaining within 5' of Kai).
Brief Summary: Buff
Round by Round Start: 1) Cast Invisibility from memory. Share with Daemon. 2) Cast Mage Armor from scroll. Share with Daemon. 3) Cast Expeditious retreat from Scroll. Share with Daemon. 4) Cast Enlarge Person from scroll. 5) Cast Shield from scroll and drop scroll. Share with Daemon. Draw scroll of True strike. 6) Begin moving out and draw Greatsword in other hand.
Main Tactics:
Snaga (first target): Daemon will act as Kai's eyes for any possible invisible Snaga using empathy to signal when found (i.e. when Kai is facing the right way and so forth). Once pinpointed, Kai will cast true strike from the scroll, drop it, and proceed to power attack for all he's worth at Snaga. Once Snaga has been dropped, move away from "Two-Fist" and out of a charging lane (ideally at least 60' away).
If Snaga cannot be located quickly, is already dropped by "Two-fist" or "Two-fist" is causing problems for Kai, switch to dealing with him.
"Two-fist" (second target): Kai will cast grease on his armor for the +10 to escape grapples and then proceed to engage "Two-fist" (sure its only 2 rounds of protection, but better than none). Draw and cast true strike. Attack and power attack (and expertise) for full on "Two-fist". If it succeeds, go for the knock-down. After that, just proceed to melee with Greatsword as normal.
Try to escape all grapples while grease is up, after that, just deal damage in grapples.
Initiative Snaga starts in box 3 with a scroll of web in hand. Gwerdan starts in box 1 with his dorjes out. Kai starts in box 4 with scroll of power in hand.
Round 1 Snaga moves towards the smaller statues and hides there while readying to cast Web if an enemy comes close. Kai casts invisibility and shares it with his bat. Snaga hears the casting, but cannot identify the spell. Gwerdan uses and drops the dorje of inertial armor, then draws a stone of expansion.

Round 8 Snaga takes a wolf skeleton figurine from his robe of bones and places it in front of him.

Undurion is a wizened old bookbinder, who wants to enjoy the occasional adventure in his old days and what better place therefore, than the arena? Here they resurrect you for free! The 'occasional' 'near death' -or better: 'being dead for a while'- experience might even help him find out something about death, before it takes him for good!
Hello TelinArtho, tactics are pretty straight-forward for this fight.
Eland will start in the middle of it's starting box, right between the two L-shaped walls, bow in hand.
Round 1: Run towards the couple of rocks near the center of the arena. Round 2: Tap the tattoo of chameleon and then move inside the pillar cluster in the middle of the map.
After that just keep sniping from there. I have a -4 modifier on the roll, but with the help of distance I should be able to do that. If I see his familiar flying near me, take Lossea out.
Just in case I can't spot him after a few rounds, move out looking for him. Anyway, stay hidden and try to sneak attack him. Make sure you already killed his familiar, if possible. Try to stay out of blindness range.
If I have the chance, throw him a thunderstone to give him some problems
Use everything I've got left (exept for the scroll of invis)!
=> Mage armor, blindness, arrows, ray of frost and perhaps even ghost sound to confuse him, once he is blinded. Stay mounted until I've got him blinded and have my familiar help me locate him.
Stay away from him until I run out of arrows, thats pretty much it.
[Prefight Locations and Initiative] Eland starts in area 2 (55,32) with his bow in hand. Initiative 9 Undurion starts in area 3 (31,5) with nothing in hand, mounted on Luinil. Initiative 4
[Round 1] Eland runs to (41,32). During the run there was a mutual spotting. LOS is currently blocked. Undurion casts Mage Armor from memory.
[Round 2] Eland taps the tattoo of chameleon and moves to (38,33) Undurion moves out to (39,11) and is able to Eland in the open. He casts Blindness on him [Fort 15 vs DC19, fail]
[Round 3] Eland fires an arrow at Undurion [84% vs 51%, success; 9 vs AC11+4, miss] Undurion draws his bow while relocating to (41,20) and fires an arrow [20+2 vs AC15, hit; Dmg 1d8-2=4] [Listen 8 vs MS -8]
[Round 4] From here, I am giving Eland a break by allowing his listen check against Undurion's attack and giving Undurion a break by not making Eland move to cover and kneel. Make no mistake - this is to make my life easier.

Manifestation (Su): Every ghost has this ability. A ghost dwells on the Ethereal Plane and, as an ethereal creature, it cannot affect or be affected by anything in the material world. When a ghost manifests, it partly enters the Material Plane and becomes visible but incorporeal on the Material Plane. A manifested ghost can be harmed only by other incorporeal creatures, magic weapons, or spells, with a 50% chance to ignore any damage from a corporeal source. A manifested ghost can pass through solid objects at will, and its own attacks pass through armor. A manifested ghost always moves silently. A manifested ghost can strike with its touch attack or with a ghost touch weapon (see Ghostly Equipment, below). A manifested ghost remains partially on the Ethereal Plane, where is it not incorporeal. A manifested ghost can be attacked by opponents on either the Material Plane or the Ethereal Plane. The ghost’s incorporeality helps protect it from foes on the Material Plane, but not from foes on the Ethereal Plane.
When a spellcasting ghost is not manifested and is on the Ethereal Plane, its spells cannot affect targets on the Material Plane, but they work normally against ethereal targets. When a spellcasting ghost manifests, its spells continue to affect ethereal targets and can affect targets on the Material Plane normally unless the spells rely on touch. A manifested ghost’s touch spells don’t work on nonethereal targets.
A ghost has two home planes, the Material Plane and the Ethereal Plane. It is not considered extraplanar when on either of these planes.

[set up
Well it's not the best map in the world since he has plenty of places to go into, but it could be worse since I have plenty of buff up times.
Main Purpose – Buff, Blast with AOE.
Start in center of squere, with touchsight powerstone and defensive precog dorja in hands
R1- Touchsight From powerstone longshot, Drops defensive precog dorja. R2- Power ressistence for longshot (to PR 25 Vs his ML of 6 Or 8) R3 – Dispelling buffer for longshot (means he need a ML check of 24+5=to dispel for self cast powers = iam immune to essentially everything he can do exept draining touch, And possibly Telekenises if applicable) R4- defensive precog from dorja for longshot R5- Drink invisibility potion R6-- psionic leviate from powerstone – move 20 up. R7- force screen from dorja for longshot. R8 – Drink Shield of faith potion R9- prescience (offensive) from powerstone (+2 Dmg added after divining in half stuff).
If interrupted in buffs skip Presicience, levitate, invisibility.
battle plan
I imagine hell try to sneak up to me while in the ground , possibly invisible - after buffs- I though about dispelling him probable Energy ressistence And Ill just have to risk it.
So after buffs – extremely Simple – If I don't spot him yet – shout my location I have 49 more pps – ready action to blast him with 13 pps Endowed power penetration energy missile (Cold) (13d6+13, DC 28 half), Then single move out to look for him – move on the ground, when fighting him levitate so he needs to move completely out of the ground to attack me with draining touch, Continue with 13 pps energy missiles (and 10 pps energy missile the last one) Until I run out of juice - If it pass the incorporeal anywhere from 1-3 hits finish him.
Note - regain focuses first one in this round, next round second one then blast again with endowment and power penetration, if can only use one – do power penetration). When pps runs out for longshot use E-Missile doraj (Cold if encountered no ressistence, electricity if did, if electricity also resisted use sonic – I'ts ML 6 or 8 vs PR 17 and 50-50 to hit but best I have).
Longshot Incorporeal touch when buffed is 20 (12+4+2+2).
NOTE – I prefer to blast him from outside 60 range if I see him Since when invisible he has no Dex.
[ contingencies 1)use free move actins to regain focus if needed.
2)if grappled somehow, FOM to break free.
3)rebuff from dorjas/powerstone etc if needed/dispelled.
4)make sure to 5 foot/manifests defensivly/expand focus to autosucseed on concentration checks as needed – longshot automakes manifesting defensivly on everything.
5)if Samuel games of hide in stuff are somehow preventing me from Attacking/aoing, Get as fast as possible to the Swamp use psionic levitate stone and levitate so he has to come out fully from an object to attack.
I suspect this is going to come Down to the Dice - that intimidate from samuel ruined a lot of plans lol - Ty and have fun.
Bit of an issue: Longshot doesn't have a powerstone of Touchsight
Blah - iam stupid - hmm - men - i hope the dice are with me - do it from memory.
He scares away Peraxephiel and my donkey and I scare away Metamorph. So far so good.
With Powerresistance up Longshot will be semi-immune to most of my offensive abilities. The only real chance I have in this fight is to use Draining touch. And since he could still manifest while at Str 0, I will have to target his Charisma. Also he will easily dispel my buffs, while I will have a hard time dispelling anything at all. *sigh*
That means I´ve gotta be very tricky:
Samuel starts in the front of his box with a stone of Touchsight and a potion of invisibility in hands.
Round 1: Manifest touchsight from stone and fly into the canopy. Round 2+: Double move through the canopy while looking for Mongshot. Dont forget to hide.
As soon as I find him, manifest a wildsurged 3+2pp targeted dispel Psionics on him. I will most likely not dispel anything he manifested himself, but probably a few buffs from expendables.
Then he is gonna dispel me. If he isnt doing it at once dive at him with draining touches(Charisma) until he does.
Once he dispelled me, move into the ground and do a proper buffing: - Fully Augmented & Wildsurged Vigor - potion of invisibility - Defensive Precognition PLA - Body Adjustment PLA if im already damaged - potion of resist energy(cold)
Also fly out of range of energy current if it is active on me.
After that, emerge again and engage. If he dispels me again, thats just tough luck.
All attacks should be draining touches on Charisma. Start the engagement by moving next to him and doing an AoO if he does anything(breaking invisibility here). If he doesnt do anything, just break the invisibility with a hasted full attack.
Use higher ground to attack. Use Boots of haste to be able to attack twice when able to make a full attack or when the additional speed is needed to reach him. Charge if possible.
Move into the ground and refresh Vigor whenever it runs out.
Always counter Energy Current by moving out of range and into the ground(=> I only take damage once for the Energy Current)
Note that Longshot actually doesnt know Inertial Armor, even though he has used it in at least one fight(I was the pitlord and I didnt check his sheet if he actually knows the power).
I dont have much hope, but I wont give up without a real fight.
[Free Activity results] Longshot scares away Peraxephiel and Samuel's donkey. Samuel scares away Metamorph.
[Prefight locations and initiative] Longshot starts in area 2 (62,62) with a powerstone of Touchsight and a dorje of Defensive Precognition (ML4, aug). Initiative 7. He then realizes he doesn't own a powerstone of touchsight. Samuel starts in area 4 (6,6) with a powerstone of touchsight (ML5) and a potion of invisibility (CL3) in hand. Initiative 21.
[Round 1] Samuel manifests touchsight from the powerstone and moves to (7,14,5) in the canopy. Longshot manifests Touchsight from memory.
[Round 2] Samuel double moves to (7,30,5). Longshot manifests Power resistance from memory.
[Round 3] Samuel double moves to (8,46,5) Longshot manifests Dispelling buffer from memory.
[Round 4] Samuel double moves to (11,59,5) after getting close enough to the starting area to get touchsight at all locations. Longshot manifests Defensive Precognition from the dorje.
[Round 5] Samuel double moves to (27,59) Longshot draws and drinks a potion of Invisibility.
[Round 6] Samuel double moves to (43,59) Longshot draws and manifests Psionic Levitate from a powerstone (ML3).
[Round 7] Samuel single moves to (51,59) (where he detects Longshot) and stops.

It was dark. An oppressive darkness, brooding and alive ... yet there was no life in this dank tomb except that of a young woman, her footsteps echoing on the cold stone steps as she descended into the dark. She had a torch with her, but the shadows it cast were more disturbing than the dark. She paused at the bottom of the steps, unsure and uneasy. Then the shadows gathered ... a soft gasp, prelude to a scream that never came ... just one more shadow in the darkness.
---
Why do shadows gather within the walls of Gladius? You'd have to ask the shadows ... and they don't answer. Danger lurks in the shadows.
Cold ... focused ... hard and unforgiving. Resolute ... unbound by law, natural or otherwise.
A shadowy feminine form. Formed of the very shadows, it fades into them with equal ease.
Against a single opponent: Attack from within the ground (or from within a solid object). Use flyby attack to always finish a turn within the ground. Use allies to flank. Attack simulataneously.
Against several opponents: Kill the weak and thus form shadow spawn. Then move in with the spawn to overwhelm whatever is left. Tactics as versus a single opponent.

Starting Position: Varjo will start at (3,30, 5ft) or equivalent, with her dagger sheathed. Pitkä and Lyhyt will start at (2,30, 5ft) and (3,31, 5ft) or equivalent, respectively. Varjo will delay her initiative until after Lyhyt and Pitkä.
Basic Idea: Varjo will move towards the center, finishing within a wall. Varjo's shadows will move/run directly to the neighboring starting squares and will let out an unearthly scream if they locate an opponent (see the following map for details: [img]http://www.hwx.it/coco/coco.php;v=1;map=sewer;a=V,M,3,30,10,29,13,22,Varjo (5ft);b=P,M,2,30,30,30,Pitka (5ft);c=L,M,3,31,4,23,4,15,Lyhyt (5ft)[/img]). Once the opponent is located, all three shadows will then converge on the opponent. Varjo's shadows will flank and attack while Varjo comes out of the walls and attacks.
Contingencies - If opponent is corporeal: When close enough to attack opponent, Lyhyt and Pitkä will move first to base opponent. Once they have based him (running if necessary), they will let out an unearthly scream so that Varjo knows his precise location. Her shadows will then attack if possible. Varjo will start hidden in a wall (hide: 1d20+10+distance), then flyby attack (attack +11 incorporeal touch attack, 1d6 Str damage), and end her round occupying the same square as her opponent. She will then take any AoO's that the opponent provokes. [Attack (+11): +8 (incorporeal touch) +1 (height) +2 (flanking)] [Hide (+10): 1d20+14-4(bright light)] - If opponent is corporeal and fast enough to evade Varjo, then Lyhyt and Pitkä will move first to base opponent. Once they have based him (running if necessary), they will let out an unearthly scream so that Varjo knows his precise location. Varjo will then double move or run and flank (or occupy the same space as the opponent) so as to take advantage of AoO's that the opponent provokes. - If opponent is undead (if opponent takes no damage from incorporeal touch attack): Varjo will attack with her [Blade of the night] (otherwise she will keep the dagger sheathed). - While Varjo is moving or running, Varjo will start and end her turn within the walls (unless she is attacking). While not within the walls, Varjo will always be within 5ft of cover and thus will remain hidden. [Within object: total cover & total concealment; Emerged: within hide ranks of cover (Hide: 1d20+14-4+distance)]. - Dodge buddy is biped opponent.
Notes - You can’t execute an attack of opportunity against an opponent with cover relative to you. (see SRD under cover) - In the case of incorporeality, miss chances stack. First check for concealment (20%) then check for incorporeal miss chance (50%). See the rules of the game article 'There, Not There (Part Four)' - An incorporeal creature can sense the presence of creatures or objects within a square adjacent to its current location. Thus Varjo will use listen to get a general location and then move closer to locate opponent precisely. - Do not accept surrender. Hunt and kill.
WEll - i cant catch him But he has to come to me eventually - buff with Force screen move until i find him, start hacking at him, when it seems they are going to come at me, activate defensive stance, dodge on varjo and if he isnt attacking on the shadow that is attacking. if they stay at range for some odd reason, use oil og magic weapon and shoot bow.

1)share ALL spells possible. 2)barkskin is +5 AC at level 12. 3)Elrick is Immune to poison, So is immune to a Vrock's spores if relevant.
General idia + Setup
I think I narrowed it to down to half fiend umber hulks or Vrock demons, If those are unmber hulks – it should be okay more or less, Against 3 vrocks iam pretty much dead.
General idea – Buff, summon, nuke, Aviod dance of ruin (if applicable)
Start on Grimlock with staff of the archdruids in hand.
R1- Barkskin (shared) from memory, Rise 20 feet on Grimlock, Fang will heel. R2-Freedom of movement – just in case. R3- Drop balefull Polymorph for SNA5 for 1d4+1 Augmanted Dire wolves, go up 20 feet. R4- Cast animal growth On fang and All summons. Exeption – If I only got 2 summons drop flame strike for 1d3 augmanted dire wolf and then do animal growth.
Afterwards- Send all animal growthed Animals on The enemies, cast sonic substituted Call lightening storm from staff (sonic dmg) and start Blasting, If it doesn’t pass SR of 1 target, try the rest of them - have the animals if possible concentrate on 1 or 2 targets, if needed use another call lightenig storm from staff, If they ressit sonic, use 1 flame strike from memory then use 1 fire seeds (thrown version – 1 throw), then up to 4 flame strikes (subdual) from staff. If summons duration run out and more are needed, Burn wall of thorns for 1d4+1 more augmanted dire wolves.
IF iam totally wrong about the monster iam pretty much ****ed, attempt to use the tactics given to them.
If it's obvios Summons can't touch them (PFE), burn Fire seeds for 1d4+1 Unicorns (if they ARENT flying) or burn same lev 5 spells as mentioned above for 1d4+1 Augmanted giant eagles.
IF that tctic also fail – Nuke first with fire seeds and 2 flame strikes from staff then use call lightening storm (subdual) and hope for the best.
Note – DON’T do animal growth on grimlock.
Note2 – Remmber that With animal growth they have DR/magic so if I remember correctly they can penetrate DR/magic.
Note 3- If possible use grimlock to stay away from them if it doesn’t interfere with main tactics.
Contingencies
1)If I/grimlock get to 35 HP sleet storm around ys - heal with CLW until full/delay kick in then dismiss it.
2)If those are vrocks and they start a dance of ruin – i.e – 2 monsters Are in a circle and chanting – all summons should go on the most wounded target, Burn a Flame strike (staff) on it, then flame strike (memory) on it. If not dead after those first 2 rounds of dancing, Handle animal Fang to run away after me (heel essentially) and run away flying myself, fang can run 200, I can run while flying 160 – should be enough to get out of the dance range (100), If you see Ill need more then 1 round to run away do so earlier. EXEPTION – If in you estimate I have a decent chance to kill one of them (better then 50%) stay and do your best to kill them – another flame strike from staff (subdual) is allowed for that.
3)if it's vrock or some other summoner who summons stuff, Drink protection from evil potion, make note of the original Vrocks and go after them only, if he summons dretches or something eqeualy puny – ignore them.
4)vs Telekenises, Note FOM protect vs Most TK effects.
5)If iam wrong on the monsters I really can't predict what kind of expendbles ill use, but all Items/expendbles are free, For ressit energy – use wand, please use obvios counters from scrolls/potions etc.

A vrock is about 8 feet tall and weighs about 500 pounds.
Combat Vrocks are vicious fighters who like to fly down into the enemy and cause as much damage as possible. They prance about in battle, taking briefly to the air and bringing their clawed feet into play. Despite their advantage in mobility, the vrocks’ deep love of battle frequently leads them into melee combats against heavy odds.
A vrock’s natural weapons, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as chaotic-aligned and evil-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Dance of Ruin (Su): To use this ability, a group of at least three vrocks must join hands in a circle, dancing wildly and chanting. At the end of 3 rounds of dancing, a wave of crackling energy flashes outward in a 100-foot radius. All creatures except for demons within the radius take 20d6 points of damage (Reflex DC 18 half ). Stunning, paralyzing, or slaying one of the vrocks stops the dance. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Spell-Like Abilities: Caster level 12th. The save DCs are Charisma-based.
At will - mirror image, telekinesis (DC 18), greater teleport (self plus 50 pounds of objects only); 1/day - heroism.
Spores (Ex): A vrock can release masses of spores from its body once every 3 rounds as a free action. The spores automatically deal 1d8 points of damage to all creatures adjacent to the vrock. They then penetrate the skin and grow, dealing an additional 1d4 points of damage each round for 10 rounds. At the end of this time, the victim is covered with a tangle of viny growths. (The vines are harmless and wither away in 1d4 days.) A delay poison spell stops the spores’ growth for its duration. Bless, neutralize poison, or remove disease kills the spores, as does sprinkling the victim with a vial of holy water.
Stunning Screech (Su): Once per hour a vrock can emit a piercing screech. All creatures except for demons within a 30-foot radius must succeed on a DC 22 Fortitude save or be stunned for 1 round. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Summon Demon (Sp): Once per day a vrock can attempt to summon 2d10 dretches or another vrock with a 35% chance of success. This ability is the equivalent of a 3rd-level spell.
Skills: Vrocks have a +8 racial bonus on Listen and Spot checks.
Begin in default position or as near to it as possible, holding potions of magic fang and haste.
Begin by using mirror image and heroism abilities and drinking the magic fang potions (for claws). Then we will all try summoning another Vrock. Most likely we will only get one, but should we happen to get three, form two groups of three, one on either side of the center pillars, and begin dances of ruin in locations such that our foe will be unable to avoid them when they go off, and repeat until one of us falls or he does. We'd like to just do this anyway, but this arena is too big to get all of it in one blast, and we can't count on cowardly Druids sticking around to fight us rather than running in terror when we start our dance.
Assuming that doesn't happen or one falls before he does, battle plan is to rip him to shreds. Drink haste potions upon spotting him. Use teleport to keep near him at all times if necessary, and spores to wound his pets, particularly his mount. If possible, one of us should grapple him to make the ripping easier on the others (and maybe give the others the chance to do a dance of ruin), but we're guessing it won't be with all those pesky spells of his. Each round as long as it is available one of us will use stunning screech while the others press the attack.
If possible to make a dive attack, do so.
If he is mounted on that pesky bat, use telekinesis to trip him off it.
If he has that staff or a sonic flame-throwing wand in hand, disarm him with telekinesis and one of us should grab it and rip it apart (sunder).
If his pets are bothering us, one or two of us (depending on number of summoned Vrocks) could fling them away with Telekinesis' thrust option, if the Halfling isn't giving us too much trouble to spare the time. Just toss them into a pillar or wall as from us as possible.
If necessary and practical, restore mirror image any number of times needed.
Once we kill him, feast on his body, since that accursed Nimbus denies us the pleasure of dragging his soul back home.
Conventions The conventions for this fight are as follows. Elric will be in red. His allies will act on his initiative. The Vrocks will be in blue. They will all act on the same initiative, as will any summons they may get. All rolls can be found here. As a side note/warning, since the number of creatures in this match will likely far exceed the map editor's ability to track, I may be forced to give only general descriptions of the locations of creatures to avoid driving myself insane trying to calculate exact distances and positions of creatures I cannot mark on the map.
Placement Elric starts in box 3, space 31,5, mounted on Grimlock, with Fang behind him, his staff in hand. The Vrocks start in box 4, spaces 4,34; 4,32; and 4,30, holding their potions of magic fang and haste.
Initiative The Vrocks roll a 17 and will go first. Elric rolls a 9 and will go second.
Rounds 1-4 The Vrocks begins by calling up mirror images of themselves, adding to their morale magically, drinking their potions to imbue their claws with magical energy, and finally magically calling to their brethren across the planes. Oddly, not a single one of their calls is heeded, so they will have to go this alone. Elric uses magic to harden his skin to the thickness of tree bark, grants himself the ability to move freely no matter what, then calls in two Wolf allies, and deciding his first spell received too few answers calls in another pair with a lesser spell.

Round 5 The Vrocks fly out and, spotting the assembly of Elric's pets, drink their haste potions. Elric casts animal growth, super-sizing his pets. He sends them out to attack the Vrocks, following them briefly to catch sight of his foes himself.
Vrock 1: 115/115 hp; AC 26; (14,32); Mirror Image (8), Heroism (long), Magic Fang (ends 23), Haste (ends 10) Vrock 2: 115/115 hp; AC 26; (14,34); Mirror Image (5), Heroism (long), Magic Fang (ends 23), Haste (ends 10) Vrock 3: 115/115 hp; AC 26; (14,30); Mirror Image (7), Heroism (long), Magic Fang (ends 23), Haste (ends 10) Elric: 81/81 hp; AC 31; 14/34 SL; (29,12,4); Barkskin (+5), Freedom of Movement (long) - Grimlock: 84/84 hp; AC 35; (same as Elric); Barkskin (+5), FoM (long) - Fang: 69/69 hp; AC 19; (21,20); Animal Growth - Wolf 1: 69/69 hp; AC 13; (22,24); SNA 5 (ends 15), Animal Growth - Wolf 2: 69/69 hp; AC 13; (25,20); SNA 5 (ends 15), Animal Growth - Wolf 3: 69/69 hp; AC 13; (19,20); SNA 4 (ends 16), Animal Growth - Wolf 4: 69/69 hp; AC 13; (19,24); SNA 4 (ends 16), Animal Growth
Round 6 The Vrocks, seeing Elric just out of reach but carrying his staff, begin their plan. One flies into the air to avoid his pets, then calls upon its telekinetic abilities, ripping the staff from Elric's hand and sending it to the ground. The other two, invoke their ability to teleport, one arriving where Elric's staff had fallen and scooping it up, the other arriving in the air above him and then circling down adjacent to and just above him and using its spores to wound his mount. (TK disarm Vrock [14]+15=29 vs Elric resist [8]+9=17, spores damage [1].) Elric, bereft of his staff (and thus half of his combat tactics), decides to try and get it back. He has Grimlock quick-step back a bit and casts Flame Strike defensively, calling a pillar of fire down on the Vrock above him and the one below him. The latter just sneers at him as the flames dance about him without harming him, but the former appears genuinely wounded. Meanwhile, his wolves rush the grounded Vrock, but as each snaps at the creature all they manage to do is dissipate a false image of him. (Flame strike SR 17 [7]+12=19 and [3]+12=15, reflex [8]+14=22 vs DC 23, damage [38]-10 resist = 28.)
Vrock 1: 115/115 hp; AC 26; (14,32, 10); Mirror Image (8), Heroism (long), Magic Fang (ends 23), Haste (ends 10) Vrock 2: 87/115 hp; AC 26; (31,13,6); Mirror Image (5), Heroism (long), Magic Fang (ends 23), Haste (ends 10) Vrock 3: 115/115 hp; AC 26; (28,12); Mirror Image (2), Heroism (long), Magic Fang (ends 23), Haste (ends 10) Elric: 81/81 hp; AC 31; 10/34 SL; (29,11,4); Barkskin (+5), Freedom of Movement (long) - Grimlock: 83/84 hp; AC 35; (same as Elric); Barkskin (+5), FoM (long), Spores (1) - Fang: 69/69 hp; AC 20; (25,14); Animal Growth - Wolf 1: 69/69 hp; AC 14; (28,15); SNA 5 (ends 15), Animal Growth - Wolf 2: 69/69 hp; AC 14; (25,10); SNA 5 (ends 15), Animal Growth - Wolf 3: 69/69 hp; AC 14; (31,11); SNA 4 (ends 16), Animal Growth - Wolf 4: 69/69 hp; AC 14; (29,10); SNA 4 (ends 16), Animal Growth
Round 7 The Vrock up near Elric circles around a bit to stay airborne and emits a horrifying screech, and it so shakes Elric and Fang that they find themselves unable to act for sheer fear. The one on the ground grins and teleports away, off into the skies and away from the main fight, still holding the staff and now ready to destroy it. The other dives at Elric from on high, but miraculously his tough flesh repels the ferocious assault. (Stunning Screech saves Elric [5]+14=19 and Fang [4]+16=20 vs DC 22, others passed handily, Vrock defensive teleport auto-succeeds, dive [2]+22=24 vs stunned AC 26.) [color=red]Elric is stunned, his ground-bound pets cannot strike the airborne Vrocks. Grimlock's defend trick kicks in when the Vrock dives at his master, so he bites at the creature, but only removes a pair of its images. (Grimlock bites [3]+12=15 and [8]+7=15, image checks [8] and [6].)
Vrock 1: 115/115 hp; AC 26; (27,13, 6); Mirror Image (6), Heroism (long), Magic Fang (ends 23), Haste (ends 10) Vrock 2: 87/115 hp; AC 26; (31,13,6); Mirror Image (5), Heroism (long), Magic Fang (ends 23), Haste (ends 10) Vrock 3: 115/115 hp; AC 26; (45,28, 10); Mirror Image (2), Heroism (long), Magic Fang (ends 23), Haste (ends 10) Elric: 81/81 hp; AC 31; 10/34 SL; (29,11,4); Barkskin (+5), Freedom of Movement (long) - Grimlock: 83/84 hp; AC 35; (same as Elric); Barkskin (+5), FoM (long), Spores (1) - Fang: 69/69 hp; AC 20; (25,14); Animal Growth - Wolf 1: 69/69 hp; AC 14; (28,15); SNA 5 (ends 15), Animal Growth - Wolf 2: 69/69 hp; AC 14; (25,10); SNA 5 (ends 15), Animal Growth - Wolf 3: 69/69 hp; AC 14; (31,11); SNA 4 (ends 16), Animal Growth - Wolf 4: 69/69 hp; AC 14; (29,10); SNA 4 (ends 16), Animal Growth Alright, I'm looking over Elric's tactics and options, and I'm seeing nothing much that can work at this point. His staff is gone - the Vrock that has it will surely succeed on sundering it this coming round, and even if he didn't Elric would need to kill it and keep the others from taking the staff to get it back. His wolves are useless vs fliers, especially with at-will Mirror Image and the DR to take into account. His next requested spell was Fire Seeds, which is his only good choice left, but it has to deal with Mirror Image, and even if it didn't the best-case scenario is one dead Vrock. His other tactics include summoning Eagles that can't bypass DR 10/good, and using expendables which will hit SR and energy resistance. His low-level spells won't harm the Vrocks, Call Lightning they're immune to, and his high-level spells are mostly support rather than offensive, and to top that off he has only 10 SLs to work with. His best weapon remaining is his wand of sonic flames, and the Vrocks will disarm/steal/sunder that if it shows. Further, Grimlock needs high attack and damage rolls to hit and hurt the things, plus has mirror image to deal with. At this point, I'm going to declare a surrender, as I cannot see any scenario short of a miracle where Elric can win without that staff, and I'm too short on time to run a match where he desperately wastes expendables and time trying.
The Vrocks are victorious! Elric loses, but still gains 1,080 xp and 2,939 gp (-10% ally).

@ templer10 - Tough match with no luck for you (CL 12 vs SR 17 and you fail to harm the one that got your staff... ouch). I didn't realize that staff was so central to your tactics when I wrote the Vrocks', but in retrospect I can certainly see why, since its sonic & subdual damage effects were the only way to seriously harm them. I am curious why you chose wolves for summons, since both Vrocks and half-fiend Umber Hulks fly while the wolves don't, but I suppose there aren't many flying SNA allies worth using against foes like that. Sorry about the loss, better luck next time.

Racial Abilities: Darkvision: out to 60 feet Stability: Dwarves are exceptionally stable on their feet. A dwarf receives a +4 bonus on ability checks made to resist being bull rushed or tripped when standing on the ground (but not when climbing, flying, riding or otherwise not standing firmly on the ground). Stonecunning: This ability grants a dwarf a +2 racial bonus on Search checks to notice unusual stonework, such as sliding walls, stonework, traps, new construction (even when built to match the old), unsafe stone surfaces, shaky stone ceilings, and the like. Something that isn’t stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A dwarf who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a Search check as if he were actively searching, and a dwarf can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. A dwarf can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up. Giant Combat Training: +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against creatures of the giant type. Racial Combat Training: +1 racial bonus on attack rolls against orcs (including half-orcs) and goblinoids (including goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears).

Kracknol's been on a loosing streak, mostly because his player's been sucking with tactics. Being a melee build is getting harder and harder in a world of full casters.
The basic strategy for Kracknol is to rush his foe into melee. The arena is small enough that Kracknol should have no trouble catching the pegasus.
Kracknol starts in the rear corner of his starting area, with the greataxe in hand. What he does depends on the arrangement of things at the start of his turn. I can see three major possibilities.
If Istima is mounted on his pegasus, he will be immediately visible since he will stand taller than the statues in the starting areas. So Kracknol will be able to know which area he occupies. In this case, there is a 2/3 chance that Isima occupies an adjacent starting area to Kracknol...
So if that happens the plan is to charge him and hit him in round 1 with a charge/deep impact/powerattack. Accomplish this by charging forward with haste (for example 2,29 to 25,29). Then at the end of the movement use an immediate action expansion (7pp) to expand to large size with reach. At this point Kracknol threatens the whole starting area and he can attack with his charge. If Istima is flatfooted, hit him with a 10pt power attack deep impact (+11 to hit 3d6+31). If he's not flatfooted hit him with a 6pt power attack deep impact (+15 to hit 3d6+23).
If and his pegasus Istima occupy the far starting area: 1) Activate boots of flying and move toward the center ending with total cover behind the central statue. 2) Use Hustle to move to a position where you can either dive or charge. Then attack as above. Use deep impact and power attack (for 6pts).
2: Because it's the start of the cycle, and this map doesn't favor the ally, I expect that Istima will be w/o his pegasus. In this case actions are as follows: 1) Activate boots and fly up high enough to spot Istima's location, then move to block LOS with the huge statue in the center of the arena (use haste for extra movement speed here). 2) Use hustle to move to a position where you can either dive or charge, then attack as above. Use deep impact and power attack.
If it's possible Kracknol would like to dive for double damage on his attacks. With his Hustle moves to get into position, it's easy for him to setup a dive unless Istima is flying.
In all cases, Kracknol will do his best to maintain the melee. Use Haste in combination with Flight as needed to maintain the movement advantage and force melee.
Contingencies: If Istima is flying round, or otherwise able to gain a speed advantage and avoid melee, then Kracknol will activate his boots of flying and move to melee that way.
If Kracknol needs to make a will save, the 3 pearls of power can be used like a cognizance crystal to manifest Empty Mind. Use them as needed to make will saves.
Kracknol has 2 stones of Body Purification. These are intended to be used if his Cha drops below 5.
Notes: Please don't forget that dwarves get a +1 attack bonus vs goblins.
Dwarves get a +2 save bonus vs all powers.
Kracknol's blade cases dispel ML15 on a hit. That may be very valuable for stripping buffs from Istima.
Kracknol has 4 round of haste. Use them liberally to enter melee. Also use them if Kracknol has a chance to make a full attack.
Kracknol can also use psionic lion's charge if he's given the chance.
After the two psionic foci are used, Kracknol will probably be best served by just attacking as best he can with full attacks or whatever attacks he can use to force melee. However if he gets an "extra" move action, then use it to recover focus.
I hope this battle only lasts a few rounds, and Kracknol's HP outlast the goblin's Disintegrate rays.
Istima starts in the default position, holding his dorje of force screen, mounted on Istyar.
General tactics: Buff largely depending on what I see Kracknol has, possibly pop Kracknol with a dispel if appropriate, then knock him out with three fly-by attack style empowered crystal shards.
Round 1: Manifest defensive precognition from memory (7 pp, +3 insight AC/saves). Istyar should walk around the statues of the start area and take flight, going up as high as possible and keeping as far from Kracknol as possible (I should see him once I reach ceiling height, since I can see over the statues then) Round 2: If I cannot see Kracknol/saw him go invisible, manifest True Seeing from memory. If I can see him, force screen from dorje. If Kracknol is approaching, fly away while doing either. Round 3+: From here, it depends on how things have gone and what buffs I see Kracknol has. - Kracknol expanded/Flying & fast-moving/concealing amorpha – hit him with a 6 pp Dispel Psionics. Keep away from him for now. - Kracknol not as above, but dissolving weapon on his weapon – energy adaptation from memory (resist 20 all elements), still keep away. - Kracknol blitzing me and unavoidable – Dispel if appropriate (& flee if this makes that possible), force screen if not used yet, then combat tactics. - None of the above – Force screen if not up yet. Energy Retort (fire) from memory if time and pp to spare.
Once combat is joined, my plan is simply to blast Kracknol with three shots of full-force Empowered Crystal Shard (12 pp, +11 ranged touch, 10d6*1.5 damage). Fly-by shots are preferred, and if I’m based have Istyar withdraw so I can do so (1 AoO from moving awat [since Istima won’t also be using the withdraw action] is preferable to sitting and taking probably-hasted full attacks). Refocus afterwards (auto-succeeds) as move action. Three such shots should be plenty to take him down (average 157.5 damage to his 109 hp), unless he uses big vigors before each, but I suspect he won’t (he’ll probably expect me to take the easy way out with Ego Whip).
Notes - Always suppress displays (auto-succeeds) to prevent psicraft IDing of powers. - Istima auto-succeeds on concentration for most things, including manifesting while double-moving on his mount, so double-move/manifest whenever it helps. - Ride for cover (auto-succeeds) and mounted combat when applicable. - From what I see in Kracknol’s fight history, I believe this to be his first fight of the cycle, so he should only get 13 pp, not the 12+7 marked on his sheet. - PP breakdown for the fight: 36 Emp Crystal Shard, 7 Defensive Precog, 16 a combination of True Seeing (9), E-Adaptation (7), E-Retort (5), and Dispel Psionics (6), any leftovers unused.
Conditionals - If my hp drops to 40 or less, use an ML 4 vigor stone. - If my 3 ECS shots fail to kill Kracknol, use an entangling ectoplasm stone on him (if possible – ignore if hes expanded) and finish with crystal shard dorje shots (also fly-by style if at all possible). - If Istyar is dropped, melee will be unavoidable, so just try to avoid it as long as possible and avoid in-melee penalties to ranged touch attacks with 5’ steps if possible. - If my dorje is sundered and my empowered shards failed to take Kracknol down, surrender.
And thats what I’ve got. This should be a very winnable fight, with Kracknol’s low touch AC and the sheer force Istima can put into those crystal shard shots, plus all the defenses and hp Istima has. Still, Kracknol is a tough opponent, especially since his rebuild, and things could easily go his way. I could probably get a near-guaranteed win with Ego Whips, but I really don’t like doing that, and this fight is winnable without them, so I’ve opted against it. Anyway, thanks for running the fight!
Lighting is Bright Light. 1 hours have passed since the last fight.
Presented in order of initiative... Istima begins in box 4 with dorje of force screen in hand mounted on Istyar. Kracknol begins in box 3 with Greataxe in hand.
Round 1 Istima manifests defensive precognition (7 pp) from memory. Istyar walks Istima around the statues, takes off, moving as far away from Kracknol as possible, and lands (so he can turn instantly next turn). [double move] Kracknol activates his boots of flying and moves behind the central statue and gains 5' of altitude (15' total). [stan][move]
Round 2 Istima manifest Force screen from his dorje. His current location is at the maximum distance possible so he stays put. Kracknol charges Istima (can't dive because Ceiling is at 20'). He expands to large just as he reached 10' reach range via Expansion (7 pp) and uses a focus for Deep Impact. He hits for 32 damage.
Round 3 Istima manifests Dispel psionics (6pp) defensively on Kracknol but it fails to dispel the expansion. (A targeted dispel on the boots would be necessary to remove the flight portion). Istyar flies around Kracknol trying to get as much distance as possible, but Istima provokes an AoO for the movement. Kracknol uses his focus for a deep impact and hits, dealing 41 damage. Kracknol activates his boots of haste, manifests huste (3pp) and charges Istima again. He misses however.
Round 4 Istima draws a stone of ML 4 Vigor and manifests it on the defensive. Istyar again moves for distance. Kracknol gets an AoO on Istima when he moves away. He hits dealing 19 damage. Kracknol again activates his boots of haste, but can't charge, so he simply bases and attacks. Despite his lack of momentum, he crits! The mightly blow cleaves the psionic goblin cleanly in two...
Kracknol wins and gains 3,870 XP and 10,535 GP (+7.5% ally) Istima loses and gains 1.110 XP and 3.021.05 + 420 GP (-7.5% ally)

@All: Good rolls on Kracknol's part plus a few too many buff rounds versus a First striker. Although after Haste wore out, I think Istima would have been fine. Kracknol just did too much damage too quickly.
