First of all, congrats on your B-day, Phaedrus.

Second of all, I hope you guys survive this so I can actually force Phaedrus to read down my list of nefarious plans one item at a time. I'm out for however long that stunning goes. :D
2 rounds. Did you attempt the saving throw at least? You might get a natural 20... He also should have a +1 to all of his base saves from leveling up (if you'd finally do that :P ).

And finally, Raoul has the Travel domain, so this is all kind of moot...

Granted Powers
For a total time per day of 1 round per cleric level you possess, you can act normally regardless of magical effects that impede movement as if you were affected by the spell freedom of movement. This effect occurs automatically as soon as it applies, lasts until it runs out or is no longer needed, and can operate multiple times per day (up to the total daily limit of rounds).
This applies automatically. So he's not actually stunned.

I've always been a bit on the fence about whether FoM protects from things like being stunned... I think the cleric domain ability should definitely work, but am not sure about the spell (I think class abilities should be better than easily obtainable spell effects, in general, despite how most of D&D seems to work...).

Did you account for the 6 Moments Marlowe recovered by hitting her with his skirmish attacks, Boz?

Yep, that bought off the cost of movement and acting during the surprise round. I had a full complement of moments before that volley.

I made a mistake. The CL shouldn't be that high on that Chain Lightning... damage should be

Rolled 14d6 : 2, 1, 4, 5, 4, 3, 1, 2, 2, 2, 5, 4, 3, 4, total 42

Rolled 14d6 : 3, 4, 4, 5, 4, 4, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 4, 3, total 41


Sorry about that... too many house rules and too long of breaks. P

This must look very confusing to anyone moving at normal speed.

So, should I get us all out of here next round or do we try and kill the bitch? :P

Well, it looks like one of the shots I reflected stunned her, so if we can drop her before she wakes up I'm game for trying.

...actually, wait, it's my turn right now, isn't it? Assuming she's stunned and finished with her turn, anyway, then it's top of the initiative order for round one:

Marlowe 35
Orgesht 34
Deranged Mary Poppins 30 (stunned?)
Ris-Janna 17 ()
Raoul 10 (stunned but with Travel domain)
Cade ??? (stunned)

I don't think Venn's rolled yet, but that looks about right to me.

Oh boy. Let's see what I need to do.
First off, roll concealment on the two attacks that were headed my way, which I totally forgot about. Assuming her stun doesn't pierce any immunities, the Fort saves are moot. Then Will saves against that lucid Chain Lightning and Ref saves if applicable. High-power D&D, ladies and gentlemen.

Come RJ's turn, I think my first order of business will be trying to eat those mirror images so we can gang-rush her stunned ass. Which means I'll also roll some Spellcraft.

EDIT: Also! Is whatever she's pulling with Lucid Dreaming there something I should roll some sort of knowledge on to get an idea of what it is (and thus get a chance to try and shut it down, if she recovers from the stun)?

You guys let me know if you drop her before my turn,

Otherwise I'm gonna do something stylish.

Know (Planes) or Lucid Dreaming checks would be appropriate. I'll try to figure out what the DC should be...
Edit: Let's just say 30.

Its probably well into 'fail on 1' territory, 23. But similarly, Orgesht is unimpressed by dream girl's tricks. His minimum on lucid dreaming checks is 41.

Anyway, if Orgesht is sure that dream girl is stunned he'll hold his action until RJ does her thing.

Should I roll initiative, or just assume I'm last due to having been asleep?

Go ahead and roll. I'd imagine being shot would wake someone up pretty quickly. :P

She's stunned, which means she's dropped her weapon. You guys should be able to strip her basically naked in a round, barring things like armor (which RJ could nullify). Or you could guess which item is generating the effect. But without a Detect Magic or Arcane Sight or something similar, you're not going to be able to tell for sure, though (even then, you'd only get school and power level, so it would still be an educated guess).

Marlowe's character sheet has "wands" listed. I'd imagine he'd probably have a Detect Magic wand, as that's one of the most useful cantrips in the game, if you don't want to wait for Raoul's stun to wear off to cast something.

If you're afraid of the stun wearing off before he gets the relevant info from concentrating on Detect Magic, I will say that Detect Magic works perfectly fine within a Time Stop/Temporal Acceleration.

Well, the major question now is how long she's stunned for - Marlowe needs a round to recharge before he can do much, unfortunately, and doing that prevents me from time stopping/Belt of Battling into scooping up her weapon or figuring out which of her trinkets is the nice one.

Marlowe 35
Orgesht 34 (can't fail the saves)
Deranged Mary Poppins 30 (stunned for ? rounds)
Cade 29 (stunned for 1 round)
Ris-Janna 17 (immune to stunning)
Raoul 10 (stunned for 2 rounds but with Travel domain)

So I think that brings us around to Orgesht.

I'm actually not sure I can shut down magic items the way I can spells. But stripping her should work - sounds like a job for Raoul.
That said, killing the mirror image first is probably a good idea in any case to save us the hassle of finding the real one first.

Whoops, forgot Orgesht was delaying until after RJ...guess that's where we are, then.

Cade 29 (stunned for 1 round)
Ris-Janna 17 (immune to stunning)
