Aria abruptly jumped over the just-fallen construct, using it like a forest log to shield herself from the soundburst which shattered metal surfaces on the other construct's bodies, ruining those human yet inhuman faces which were painlessly impassive.<br/><br/>She rose up again, sidestepping a chain-swing taken by the nearest, opportunistic construct. She returned arrows into freshly opened gaps in its and then the others' artificial bodies, striking clockwork within. Two collapsed, but the third opened it other hand and shot forth a laser-like green ray. Despite the lack of true spellcasting, Kass would recognize from appearance and context an  offensive abjuration meant to suppress Aria's blinking (or any more teleporting soon, for that matter). Aria dodged with suspiciously dancelike motions, perhaps inspired by her compatriot, dipping her body back and low, and briefly glancing 'up' and marveling at the desert landscape which seemed to hang above.<br/><br/><br/>Aha. Inspire Heroics would've counted as her first turn (we didn't get any surprise / pre-initiative actions) as I tried to convey earlier - but, since she delayed a full round (except for Aria's turn, and allies can always switch order by the first one delaying 'til just after the other anyway) we can infer she did the IH as her 1st round. Maybe that was what you had in mind all along.<br/><br/>And nice spell positioning!<br/><br/>Also, as is easy to forget, you need a free hand for most spells, and the Teleport involves the runestaff. But she's had spare move actions since then she could've used to stow it, leaving her one free hand + longsword hand.<br/><br/>Aria saves (r16), evasion<br/>ne construct saves, other two fail, for 25,50,50 dmg<br/><br/>Aria<br/>5' sw, cast haste and golem strike, ranged fa at se construct, mods 35/35/30/25/20 plus blink<br/>first attack provokes aoo from se construct<br/>atk 31, miss<br/>Aria also takes -4 to attacks against the se construct, for 'firing into a melee' (since it threatens her)<br/>http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2948930/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2948930/)<br/>1d20;1d8+11d6+25 → [12] = (12)<br/>1d20;1d8+11d6+25 → [4,5,2,6,6,6,3,4,5,3,2,4,25] = (75)<br/>1d20;1d8+11d6+25 → [3] = (3)<br/>1d20;1d8+11d6+25 → [7,1,2,4,2,4,6,2,1,4,4,2,25] = (64)<br/>1d20;1d8+11d6+25 → [6] = (6)<br/>1d20;1d8+11d6+25 → [2,2,1,2,2,5,6,4,6,5,2,1,25] = (63)<br/>1d20;1d8+11d6+25 → [3] = (3)<br/>1d20;1d8+11d6+25 → [5,2,4,4,1,1,2,3,2,2,5,5,25] = (61)<br/>1d20;1d8+11d6+25 → [6] = (6)<br/>1d20;1d8+11d6+25 → [6,3,5,4,3,6,1,2,2,1,1,4,25] = (63)<br/><br/>1st dmg 75<br/>2nd dmg 64, destroyed<br/>nw construct<br/>3rd dmg 63<br/>4th dmg 61, destroyed<br/>ne construct<br/>5th dmg 63<br/><br/>ne constuct<br/>spa Dimensional Anchor (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/dimensionalAnchor.htm) at Aria (to stop her blinking)<br/>ranged touch atk 34<br/>miss (that dodge bonus from inspire heroics is great here!)<br/>moves toward girls<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;"><br/><span class="bbc_u">. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .</span><br/>. . . . . . . . . . . . . . c c c . . . . . . . . c c c . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  1<br/>. . . . . . . . . . . . . . c c c . . . .
