castle's granted telepathic ability, contacting Muramasa and her three duplicates for a quick conference.  In the flurry of telepathic messages that followed, the new tactical situation was laid out, advice was given, the three duplicates were asked about their opinions of the enemy commanders' overall durability and difficulty as opponents, and, in the few seconds in which all that information was exchanged, a plan was formed.<br/><br/>One of the three duplicates used her<em>greater teleport</em>ability to transport them all over to the being that Echidna had summoned to aid in the castle's defense.  As the Yugoloth mercenaries revolted and Vholdran's own plan came to fruition, creating a huge rift in the battlefield and temporarily flooding it with the waters of the River Styx, killing off a large portion of the enemy army all at once, the magical duplicates briefly explained Torahime's plan to the Paeliryon.  Two of them teleported away to the closest enemy commander within range, while the third remained behind, having requested a casting of<em>greater invisibility</em>be placed on herself.<br/><br/><em>Congratulations,</em>Torahime then stated simply, communicating to each of the remaining Cerebriliths telepathically.<em>You've managed to figure out a countermeasure for one of the means to kill you that is at my disposal, and after losing only two of your number in the process.  But your army is now in disarray, your mercenaries have betrayed you and stolen much of your siege equipment, and your remaining general is too busy enjoying a duel with a pretty little nymph to give you any orders.  Do you really think that the five of you that are left will be able to pull out a victory in this situation?<br/><br/>Oh, wait.  My apologies, it seems there are only four of you left now.</em><br/><br/>Traps and countermeasures to stop her from teleporting directly up into their faces and cutting them to ribbons were all well and good, but studying the sword didn't mean that melee combat was her only option.  A spell called<em>whirling blade</em>let her strike even more effectively from a distance than she could manage at melee range, though without having that same blinding speed or flurry of attacks.  Still, activating the spell right as she focused her ki and drew forth Muramasa from his sheath would at least allow for a single, powerful hit, and with two of her both throwing swords at the same enemy commander at almost the same time, she would be able to do more than enough damage to still finish the enemy off.<br/><br/>Though, the enemies that were planning to run away could still be a bit troublesome, particularly if her spell's 120 ft. range limit was still close enough for them to detect her teleporting in.  If that happened, she'd simply have to focus on killing the ones planning to capture her, then try to intimidate the ones that were already running from her into fleeing the field altogether.  Assuming, of course, that her current little intimidation tactic wasn't working already...<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Rolls and Actions</div><div class="spoiler_body">Torahime's Body Outside Body duplicates use Greater Teleport to teleport to The Cloud of Darkness, and the one that used Greater Teleport asks for a casting of Greater Invisibility.  The other two use their free-action Dimension Doors to teleport to exactly 120 feet away from the nearest Cerebrilith commander, and specifically as high up above him as possible.  With their standard actions, they then both use sculpted Whirling Blade as a 120 ft line, quick-drawing Muramasa before using the spell-like ability in order to get Iaijutsu Focus damage on the attack.<br/><br/>Attack rolls and then Iaijutsu Focus checks:<br/>Attack Rolls (d20+40): 53, 46<br/>Iaijutsu Rolls (d20+40): 41, 52 (+7d6, +9d6) (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=116800)<br/><br/>I'm assuming my attack bonus is high enough compared to their AC that I'm in 'don't roll a 1' territory, so I'll just roll both sets of damage and add them together:<br/>2d10 + 44 = 47 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=116801)<br/>2d4 = 6 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=116802)<br/>16d6 + 30 = 90 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=116803)<br/><br/>For a total of 153 damage, more than enough to finish off a Cerebrilith.  And that's a total of 6 down, now.<br/><br/>And for her next trick, Torahime's main body will be making another Intimidation check against the enemy, since they've suffered a sudden and rather major setback with that Earthquake spell:<br/>1d20 + 36 = 45 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=116805) (A bit of a low roll, but Torahime has high social skills, and this isn't including what I'm assuming will probably be a large circumstance bonus from Vholdran's big army-devastation move.)<br/></div></div>
