<strong>Round 6</strong><br/><br/>Abduxuel casts his/her spell....and it has no effect?!<br/><br/>Xhyri'Neerune enters into darkness but her senses come off too late for her warn about assassin devils who struck swiftly and brutally as possible on matron mother who succumbed to their skillful blows and also to poison which may very well kill her....<br/><br/>Then Zekolyn and Janafae acted; the glittering dust marked the devils a much more better than the webbing of the two other spiders ever did. But the assassin devils resisted the spell so they are not blinded by the flashing glittering dust but their forms are now glittering clearly. Janafae strikes, thanks the dust she saw clearly her target (no darkness miss chance) but her lance blow is deflected by assassin devil's tough black glittering hide!<br/><br/><strong>Location: Ghetto of Scholars<br/>Time: Early Morning</strong><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Elvas'thrae</strong> (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=328296)</span><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i996.photobucket.com/albums/af84/Kazzaroth_photos/Drownoblemage2.jpg)</div><strong>HP:</strong>43/43<br/><strong>AC:</strong>22 (flat 20, touch 12)<br/><strong>Status:</strong>Normal<br/><strong>Effects:</strong>Mage Armor (greater) (11 hours), Master's Touch (11 mins), Repelling Shield (9 minutes), Mirror Image (4 clones, 9 minutes), Mass Flight (110 minutes), Arcane Sight (11 minutes), Assay Spell Resistance (7 minutes, vs devils only)<br/><hr/><br/>Elvas curses when he sees that matron mother is ambushed by assassin devils after all. When they appeared he focused his gaze on where they were until the glittering dust hit them and made them all clear. He tried detect any magical auras with a glance....and he sees nothing! So he cannot provide any intel how buffed up these assassin devils actually are, but he knows matron is ground, glittering in dust and helpless clearly and having nasty wounds in her.<br/><br/>Elvas ponders on his options for moment and then he decides just mentally command the spiders focus upon one assassin devil. The two spiders move rapidly along the roof to flank the assassin devil and both launch their attacks! Not seeking to bite or harm assassin devil, but distract it so Janafae or Zekolyn have a opening to strike the assassin devil (OOC: assassin devil receives -4 penalty to it's AC besides being flanked by spiders who did assist another action to lower it's AC)!<br/><br/>Then Elvas flies off. Then something weird occurs; the matron mother disappears with glimmering purple glow and brief flash! The both assassin devils become suddenly very, very<em>confused</em>......<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Those who have true seeing/see invisible/blindisght etc</div><div class="spoiler_body">Matron mother disappeared and into it's spot appeared a small winged humanoid holding a spiked chain; a imp.<br/></div></div><br/>Then suddenly a imp appears! Swinging a admantium chain skilled like a veteran figther towards another surprised assassin devil! Imp did not aim to harm though but more distract the assassin devil with two sweeping attacks to throw it off guard (that assassin devil also gets -4 to AC thanks aid another attacks).<br/><br/>The imp grins on the assassin devil and said in drow dialected elven; "Clever trick huh? I acted to be matron mother all this along! You baboons broke just mah mastah's illusion puppet (OOC: Bluff check DC 34, NAT 20)! Real matron mother is safe and sound kehkeh!"<br/><br/>The assassin devil which imp distracted looked pondering what it said....(OOC: Sense motive 32 vs 34 bluff = FAIL!).<br/><br/>Then assassin devil growls and speaks; "[Infernal]We have been tricked brother! Blasted that mage! Let's get out from here! Mistress is not going be pleased but better have second try than none and return hell after a failed mission...."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Elvas moved 60'ft and then casted Benign Transposition when he was outside hearing range onto his imp who had been hiding all this along just for this purpose in secluded. So matron mother's dire situation has not been lifted off but if none party members pass 34 sense motive check they would not be aware imp was bluffing. But fact is matron mother is gone and there is now imp which is apparently Elvas familiar who is wielding admantium spiked chain suited to his size and has *cough* AC 33. Anyways Elvas next turn mostly goes in healing matron mother with belt of healing he has on person and uses it on her to stablisize and wake her up and perhaps cast poison resist/removal spell. Overall I NPC matron mother now. But this would save her reputation from eyes from others if none succeed beat imp's bluff check and ask subtle manner what trick Elvas pulled off exactly.<br/></div></div><br/><strong>Round 7</strong><br/><br/>As said the both assassin devils snarl on their opponents, like true professionals who know they have been put into corner (and their true target has disappeared) and unable fight with their best skills they glimmer and teleport away from the scene (greater teleport).
