So if I understood Ror's actions, that means we all have an extra full-round, standard, move, and swift action that we can use at some point?

(click to show/hide)

No good sir. Ror used the word "OR"

Time Vortex - gain a single extra swift, move, standard, or full round action, not more than once per round, not more than once per action type.

I added the underline for emphasis.

[Debatra]

Halt pops some Rituals before moving as close as he can to Thrash without leaving Ror's CoGH (unless that would put him closer than 15', in which case he moves so they're 15' apart).

He casts Assay Spell Resistance, targetting Thrash, followed by an Empowered Softening (discharging his Metamagic Ritual) Imbued into an arrow, send flying straight towards Thrash, phasing through everything; even his armor.

Declaring Thrash to be flat-footed via Greater Ritual of Misdirection. ASR is swift, Imbue Arrow is Standard (same action as casting Softening).
Ritual of Transmutation grants +4 to Dex from my casting of a Transmutation spell for one round.

Additional +1 to attack and damage if within 30'.

And finally, Phase Arrow makes this a Touch Attack in addition to Thrash being Flat-footed.

Ror tosses some clay and then flies towards Thrash, axe biting into the orc's flesh with a meaty thunk even as Thrash attempts to avoid it.  However, once again the wound does not appear on Thrash's flesh.  Then an explosion rocks the dais, followed by a second one in quick succession, destroying large portions of the rock.

(click to show/hide)

Looking over your axe writeup, Ror has to try and absorb active effects.  He doesn't get it as a rider on a normal melee attack.

Also, a little bit of Ror is caught in the blast from Sable's BOOOOM!!, Love Janis.  Please make a Ref save for half damage, with a +4 bonus.

Ptolemaeus's shots streak unerringly through the cloud of dust, smoke, and rubble, slamming into the orc.  Halt's arrows and spells similarly find him through the haze.

Finally the dust clears.  The cluster of Witchlight Marauders still stands, though some of them look somewhat the worse for wear, and the substance of the cave itself is shattered.

Meanwhile, Thrash is... gone.

Stone chips geyser toward the ceiling and then hail down from the twin blasts, and shattered rock shrapnel rips across the cavern near horizontally, torn from the floor tiles. Scores more of the Goblins die in the deadly spray, their sheer numbers protecting most of the party from the direct effects of the blasts.

The last glimpse of Thrash, before the clouds of dust hide him, show his face stretched in a shock of fear, not looking at Ror or anyone else in the party; he is looking back at the Portal, now a silvery billowing sheet right next to Ror instead of the flat plane it was, as the makeshift arch sways back and forth from the blasts and begins to lean, ever so slowly, its sputtering Magic taut across its rickety form. Thrash and the arch are swallowed in clouds until the dust subsides; then Ror and others nearby can see the silvery curtain still is rippling, now concave, and has taken on a pearlized look that is arcing across it in jagged flares from its irregular edges.

The cloud of dust and haze is not much of an obstacle to Ptolemaeus’ eyes, as he tracks Thrash to land his shots at the monster. When Thrash vanishes…

Spot roll! and a percentile roll! for Ptolemaeus. Let’s find out if you can spot Thrash, and then track him. You’re wearing a Silver Key…

(click to show/hide)

{Star} Ptolemaeus, I have a Silver Key to lend to you, if it pleases you to use it during our mission. It isn’t often that I meet someone who can use it fully. It is similar in sensitivity to Lisker’s Keys; I’m sure you are familiar with those. You can see the Plane Shift rune on one side and the Teleport rune on the other. Four times per day you may touch it to a Portal or door, whether Magic or mundane, and it will open; it is therefore a universal Portal Key for all Sigil Portals as well. However, that is not its main function.

As a continuous operation, it gives you a Sense of Direction and Destination for any traveler you see, wherever they are going, across distance, Dimension, Plane, or Time, allowing you to follow them with appropriate Magic. Others in this party would notice Planar travelers, as would you, but since you also have Timesight, you may notice something in the Illithid compound that none could see except you and me. I have two here on my charm bracelet; I can spare one to lend you.

As Star described: A Silver Key, with a Plane Shift rune on one side and a Teleport rune on the other. Four times per day you may touch it to a Portal or door, whether Magic or mundane, and it will open; it is therefore a universal Portal Key for all Sigil Portals. As a continuous operation, it gives you a Sense of Direction and Destination for any traveler you see, wherever they are going, across distance, Dimension, Plane, or Time, allowing you to follow them with appropriate Magic. What can be seen depends entirely on the wearer’s own vision, Spells of Detection, and the like; the Key itself does not confer any special Vision beyond what the wearer has. It simply supplies information the wearer can see, about travelers the wearer can see, if the wearer can sense that type of travel, and traveler. If the wearer can’t see the traveler, the information is not provided, and if the wearer can’t sense the type of information the Key is providing, the information is lost.

Spot and Percentile Rolls

Some abilities Ptol has that might aid him in following Thrash's movements:
True Seeing
Lockdown

(click to show/hide)

Lockdown (A): By spending mana points up to his Wisdom modifier, the marksman can designate one enemy as his target. The marksman gains an unnamed bonus to attacks and damage rolls against that enemy equal to half his mana points spent on this ability. The marksman also gains the ability to know the target's location anywhere within 100 feet, but he does not gain the ability to see his target if he has invisibility, therefore he still suffers the normal penalties against fighting invisible creatures. Nor can he see them behind cover, you just know where he is. You must have line of sight to the target and can see him when using this technique, and this technique is usable only once per encounter.

Timesight

Spot 50! Percentile 83! (both +2 from Janis)

Great rolls; you have a very clear idea of what is going on.

Ptolemaeus has a very close eye on Thrash, using his ability to Lockdown on his target, and he sees that although Thrash does indeed vanish, even to vision enhanced with True Seeing, Ptolemaeus can still sense where Thrash is going. The Lockdown sense operates through the Silver Key just like any other sense would, and so Ptolemaeus can sense that Thrash has descended into the rock below the top platform of the dais. Thrash isn’t deep inside, but has descended out of harm’s way… or so he may think.

From the brief interaction Ptolemaeus’ various senses had with Thrash as the creature vanished, Ptolemaeus can also tell that Thrash did not simply turn Invisible and avoid detection somehow by True Seeing; it was more profound than that. It was an Effect that Ptolemaeus has seen before, and one that he knows Ritual Magic can do, from Ror’s conversations with the party in planning Rituals for this assault. Ptolemaeus’ Knowledge Of All Things Bound followed the Silver Key’s trail as well: It seemed as if Thrash entered the Void instead, and has become Void himself.

And, Ptolemaeus can note that very fortunately, Thrash himself does seem Bound to Time, since Knowledge Of All Things Bound was able to follow Thrash through the transit that the Silver Key revealed.

[Bozwevial]

(click to show/hide)

Assuming Ptolemaeus is sharing this over the link, how deep below the surface of the dais is Thrash?

[MetroMagic]

The reason for the slightly odd shape of the targeting information that Ptolemaeus is perceiving through Lockdown becomes clearer when Thrash and his new position appear on the combat map.

At 120 feet below the cavern floor, Thrash is about 70 feet below the Bral gravity plane, which appears as a flat shimmer about 50 feet down, running through the combat map image.

Apparently Star has inferred from the shape that Thrash reoriented himself, so he appears on the combat map as if upside-down, with his head pointing away from the cavern floor and his feet pointing toward it – and this does seem to Ptolemaeus to match his own perception better than a rightside-up Thrash.

(click to show/hide)

Just a reminder since it’s been a while, both groups were told in their briefings about Bral’s gravity plane; it has flat gravity, like a ship, rather than radial gravity, like an asteroid.

For Darayat, while his briefing didn’t have anything about Bral, he’s very familiar with flat gravity considering that he independently invented it.  :-)

[Bozwevial]

Darayat's breath escapes in a whuff as the force globe smacks into him. Grinning broadly, he salutes with one wand before weaving both through intricate patterns. The tip of one wand snarls as it spits something malevolent and spherical at the Uruk-Hai that threw the globe, while the other hums calmly, sketching out a bright sphere around Darayat in lines of solid air.

(click to show/hide)

Let's start off slowly.

Swift action to use Lesser Metamagic Trigger, followed by another swift action (courtesy of Ror's Time Vortex) to cast a Fell Draining Orb of Force at the Uruk-Hai that attacked me. The extra charges for Fell Drain are supplied by Potent Trigger, so the total cost is 1 wand charge. 28 on the touch attack and 44 damage, with a rider effect of one negative level if that deals damage.

As a follow-up, I'll spend my remaining full-round action to cast Forceward, burning an IP to get access to it. I can cast defensively without bothering to make a Concentration check, so barring extraordinary circumstances it should go off just before my next turn.

Finally, I'll recover Economy of Motion.

IP: 2 of 6.
HP: 125.
Maneuvers readied: Dual Thorn, Redoubled Focus, Hazel Trigger, Economy of Motion.
Maneuvers expended: Lesser Metamagic Trigger.
Stance: Potent Trigger.

Ongoing effects:
Prophetic Trance: 11 rounds remaining.
Greater Invisibility: CL 16, 32 round duration, 25(?) rounds remaining.
Mirror Image: CL 16, 7 mirror images, 32 minute duration (less some amount of time).
Fly: CL 16, 32 minute duration (less the above amount of time).
See Invisibility: CL 16, 320 minute duration (5.33 hours) (less a piddly amount in comparison).
Freedom of Movement: CL 16, 320 minute duration (5.33 hours) (probably not running out any time soon).
Forceward: CL 16, 16 minute duration (pending successful casting).

[MetroMagic]

A globe of dim light, 20 feet across and about as bright as a candle, forms near the edge of the steps to the dais. It touches down about 20 feet in front of the steps and extends halfway to them. The globe also appears on the combat map, and on the map all can see Darayat at its center.

The churning sea of Goblins below Darayat takes on a curious shape, as if pressed down by the globe like a dimple in water. The Goblins thin out inside the globe, as some are churned out and find themselves unable to return. Some are forced back in by the suddenly greater density just outside the globe, and pop through the barrier, but not as many as left. And a few Goblins are squashed against the sides of the globe, unable to penetrate it even to save their own lives, dying in the mad crush as the rest of the Goblins heedlessly rush in circles from terror to terror, screaming in fear from the wave of rock shrapnel slicing through them, the Force Puppet’s symbol above them, the aura of a furious Green Dragon behind them, and the sight of a 25 foot tall Ror in front of them who, it appears, may have just pounded Thrash into the rock… or so it looks to many of them on the cavern floor, where the Goblins saw the mighty emerald axe fall, and Thrash suddenly disappear.

Darayat is enjoying a slight respite inside his globe but the chaos below him has reached a new high.

Uruk-Hai: Passing that question to SirP!

…after Darayat rolls the attack again. Maybe he’ll crit  :-)

And be sure to include these buffs to both attack rolls: +5 Morale from Ror’s Circle within 100ft of him, +2 Luck from Janis within The Plan^TM, +2 Time from Star from the combat map on the Link.

The reroll came up lower, but with the morale bonus from the ritual (I remembered the Time and Luck bonuses, fortunately), I've got a 33 on the touch attack.

[Scout89]

Recovered from the fall over the stairs, Halfaz, on his hands and knees, forces the boulder out of his body, his face showing pure rage. He breathes hard and the air around him, which was showing signs of the heat he was emanating, now turns afire. The space between his scales begins to glow orange as Halfaz forces his rage out. For a moment he is there looking at his enemy, but less than a second later he's not there anymore.
Suddenly, the air over the Uruk-hai heats up as Halfaz appears above him, flying and burning strong. Shimnack, glowing brighter than before, turns into a haze of fire and light while the harssaf swings it around many times.

(click to show/hide)

Halfaz will use one charge of Elemental Weapon (+2d6 fire damage to attacks for one minute).
Bonus Action: Dimension Slide (teleport up to 45ft, 5pp)
Full-round Action: Searing Blade (+2d6+11 fire damage to melee attacks until the end of the turn)
In case of critical strikes, he'll use one charge of his Devastation Gauntlets each (+2d6 damage)

I'm rolling the attacks without some of the bonuses because I'm still confused about which ones are still active. But bellow is the list of the ones I found. Please add the ones that are still up, but I've already added the Aerial Combat Training and the +2 from Janis' plan.

[ShadowViper]

He begins moving forward upon long cat-like strides from strong limbs, as he does this his body begins to grow and mature until a mature adult green dragon is no longer present in the cavern, but an old green dragon. He moves into the perfect position to catch each of the four grouped witchlights within his breath weapon before squatting down. All four limbs and tail push simultaneously against the rocky ground as limbs fully extend to propel him upwards. In an instant his wings completely unfold into their full 80 foot span. Continuous long steady strokes catch, bring and keep him in mid air, 20 feet off the ground in a comfortable hover.

Any loose dust and debris is kicked up into a cloud by the power of his constant wing strokes. Yellow-green acidic vapors then begin collecting and rising from his tooth filled maw in what starts out in thin tendriled wisps that soon progress into small columns of darker hued noxious smoke. He then exhales sudden powerful breath, spreading a dark vomit green cloud of noxious gas infront of him in a 60 foot cone. Aimed towards the small gathering of witchlight marauders. The cloud would linger in the area, clinging to anything it touches for a brief period.

Gabriel conjures a barred cage of force around as many of the marauders as he can get one. His force puppet does the same. They both try to avoid getting any allies in the cages.

Bit and sheraks stare at each other. They are in fact talking quickly over their psychic link and arguing over whether to kill the bad guys here or chase the one down. They both frown.

Vir says With me men!  only cowards stay to foght goblins when their evemy is in flight!

Vir, currently invisible, in his dwarves defensive stance, and with his beacon turned on, pursues Thrash, using the full round to run up to 240 feet down, stoping 20 feet from Thrash.

(click to show/hide)

two things, first, if he loses the ability to use the time vortex he was just granted when he leave a the space, then he uses it before leaving. Second, Virs light and effective attack range is 20 feet. I recall MM doing something that increased that range. If so, he stops as far away as he can while still threatening Thrash. Please let me know about these two in your response

While he is in the dirt, he triggers his ring of white lies (glibness, +30 to bluff) and some of his rituals. (Righteous aura, misdirection greater with circle of good hope, circle of agony with circle of good hope, scales of the lizard with circle of good hope, and both skill rituals for bluff and for slight of hand). He also continues to mask his thoughts and his GN status. He now shows a LC quasit and the thoughts to go with his story.

The moment he enters the clearing below the earth, when Thrash could first see his glow (he is invisible, fine sized, and has other stealth stuff, but gives off light without revealing his features at all), he makes a bluff check and also takes his free intimidation check.

Servant of the One Eye! Halt. Before the others come you will hear me. I have been placed here by our master to infiltrate these others. I was placed by the One Eye himself, personally. Your bungling of your mission has not only lost you your advantage but has ruined my infiltration! We will discuss that mater, in painful detail, later. Now we must eithe rfortify or flee. I trust you have a plan for us? Do it quickly while the fools are busy up there!

i ready actions to pop more rituals and attack if he goes to attack me or if he obviously doesn't believe my lies. I'll post those actions if needed.  In case its not clear, nothing I just said is true. Did I read right in te back story that the One Eyed is the one who sent this guy? If I the player should know better, please assume that Vir said the right diety. I'll post bluff and intimidate in the dice thread (that's correct, right?)

[ieatfood7]

Menewhile, in the cave, Sheerak calls out to the group.

Everyone else, take flight!  These aboninations will not stand against us!

With Vir out of range underground, Sheerak pops the Ritual of the Uneasy Earth, shaking the ground in a 50 foot radious around her.  Everyone in the Good party is presumably in flight, so this only damages and affects the enemies (she is further away from all non Good party members and all enemies at the start of the turn, so she avoids gettign within 50 feet of any non-flying ally).  She uses the Time Vortex she was just granted to tak an extra full round action this turn.  She also pops multuiple Circles of Good Hope, helping herself and anyone near her in the PC parties.  She silently curses her reliance on the copies, having put most of the useful battle rituals in Copy 0 as circles of good hope. (Lion's Charge (gives pounce)Circle of Agnoy-grater (take half damage and redirect to enemies), Unfettered Heroism (one action point per round), deflection-greater (miss chance and other awesomeness), precision-greater (sneak attack damage and other awesomeness), scales of the lizard(natural armor that stacks with almost eevrything).

Using the free (temporary?) action point from Unfettered Heroism, she claims an extra swift/immediate action this round (so she can now make two full round actions and two swift/imediate actions).  She uses the first immediate action to step into her Deafening Bison stance.  She then Charges and makes a full round attack against the two U on the map which ar to the Upper left of the Daise (I'm gonna numbe rthe lines on that map from the left side and bottom of the room we are in, in my posts, so those enemies are at 2, 12  and 5, 10, and I al standing at 5, 12, able to reach them both). 

She makes a full attack aginst them, hitting at the one at 2,15 first.  If he dies, then she will attack the one at 5,10 with the remaining full roudn attacks (and the cleave attack).

I forgot to add in my post or rolls that sheerak is still invisible, and that she has 6d6 sneak attack damage.  i never figured out when we can or can't be seen, so i didn't add the bonus to hit or the neak attack damage or the flat footed bonus or anything.  Please modify as needed and do sneak attack damage if appropriate.  I also forgot to mention the effects of the Deafening Bison stance, I'll post that in the dice roll page I ALSO didn't include any bonus from is the Uneasy Earth ritual makes them fall over or anything.!!!!

The shockwave from Sheerak’s earth-shaking Ritual travels up the stair and reaches just to the Portal, already bowed and stretched from the multiple BOOOOM!! Love, Janis^TM blasts all around it. The Portal arch stones shudder again, moire-patterned ripples racing across the silvery sheet, tottering, trembling, as Sheerak begins to lash out at the Uruk-Hai beyond the front of the dais.

Religion 50s!! Yes! And so, at an unexpected time, a little thread of the Plot unravels for all to see, though its meaning may not yet be clear…

Meanwhile, as Vir fabricates his outrageous bluff at Thrash, for a few others on the Link a realization crystallizes that’s been tickling the back of a few minds for a little while… maybe longer among Arkesh’s crew since they’ve had to deal with Thrash’s machinations longer.

As admiration for Vir’s ploy begins to circulate on the Link, so do some doubts, and first the Margravine, Ptolemaeus, and Thoisar are able to chime in, and then Sable and Ror; they can all affirm with growing certainty that something is definitely amiss. Not necessarily with Vir’s bluff; he may be in keeping with the tone of events that have passed here. The problem is with the overall tone itself; Vir’s bluff simply clarified, or highlighted for them, just what that problem is.

The pure invention that Vir has just told Thrash gives Gruumsh credit for a more subtle approach than The Destroyer is usually known for… in fact, One-Eye's "subtle" plots are never more than two sentences long, and the word "Destroy!" is always in them, so... what’s going on here? Thrash is clearly one of Gruumsh’s own, but the layers of deceit Thrash has practiced seem more than a little out of place with those who know the history. Maybe it’s the Illithid General’s hand in this? But would the Orcs really accept that much direction from the Illithids? Wherever the inspiration and complexity have come from, there must be more to it; it just CAN’T all be Gruumsh and his horde…

Gabriel/Gleron says on the link <Let's see if we can find out what these Uruk-Hai know.> Then out loud his troll host says to the closest one of them "YOU! Say good bye to the afterlife, for tonight I feast upon your soul!"

Free action intimidate

Rolled 1d20+33 : 3 + 33, total 36

(plus the group bonuses I've forgotten...)
If he fails, he cowers for one round. This also affects all creatures within 10' of him.
Gabriel then uses his extra standard action from the ritual affecting him to try and possess any Uruk Hai who appears to have failed his check (and is cowering). It doesn't have to be the one he singled out.

Part One of Three

(click to show/hide)

Gleron’s action happens in a strange place, fueled by Ror’s Ritual… so many things are happening near-simultaneously and this is one of them, more or less simultaneous with Parts 2 and 3, which are more sequenced, and are to be posted by SirP beginning as early as tonight

Gleron’s Intimidation seems to have little effect, and he’s seen the reaction before, among shock troops on the Lower Planes; these Uruk-Hai are so used to Intimidation by Very Powerful Creatures that they have become dulled to it.

However, Gleron finds the Possession to be much easier than he might have expected, almost no resistance at all from within, once he cracked through the incredibly tough outer shell. These creatures are living, and independently willed to a great extent; but they are nearly hollow, as if they are husks of real, feeling beings who have the depth of personal lives, family histories, and a sense of self.

Dark images of mud, fire, and the depths under mountains flash through Gleron’s newfound memories. Though powerful this creature was, on its own it is nearly a witless thrall, filled only with a small measure of the Will, mind, and memories of its eternal Master, and its call to Him… The White Wizard fell from power and his taint was washed away from the surface world, but the bubbling mudpits in the deeps below Angrenost, the Iron Fortress, ever poured forth Morgoth’s spawn, ever since He found and grasped the power to truly Create, denied Him so long and so unjustly by Iluvatar. Now He could be done with the humiliating need to twist Iluvatar’s Children to His own purpose. The Uruk-Hai worked their way north through the fissures and ways under the mountains; not so far it was for them to His latest home after the flooding ocean scoured Angband from the maps. Created and called by the pull of His will to the Black Chasm, here a new host gathered to end this accursed Age and proclaim a new Age of Morgoth’s final victory over the Valar and their Sindarin toys.

And yet, strangely, Gleron finds no memories at all of the Bral compound, its allies, masters, or purposes, save for a mental map of the corridors and Thrash’s direction to kill all except other Orcs (and spare the Goblins too, as long as it’s not too inconvenient). Even the memories about Thrash are sketchy, and fresh; Thrash arrived months ago, began creation of a Portal out of the topmost reaches of the Black Chasm, organized and prepared this small army, swore it to secrecy with threats of unimaginable horrors, and radiated a familiar Power, so Thrash’s authority seemed unquestionable.

Everything else in memory resides in some other Prime world.

As has been customary, all information is shared on the Link.

To help Gleron and everyone make sense of the Uruk-Hai’s memories he has just tapped, Sable gets a difficult Knowledge (Street) roll for the names and places, unless he simply recognizes them anyway. Ptolemaeus can try Knowledge of All Things Bound. And Darayat… he needs no roll at all. All the names and places are quite familiar to him after Varda’s tutelage.
