"We agree with the dancer. Confuse them long enough for us to get close, then remove them from this existance. Unfortunately this heat is rather unbearable..."
(OOC) I'd really like to know how long we stood around before we took that 52 damage. Like, was round 1 10 and round 2 52? if so im gonna die soon. lol. But assuming its based on amount of time, i kinda need to know the amount of time we are talking here because i heal 8 HP a round back, so i know how much ive taken, but not how much i've healed.(/ooc)

For those who missed it, here it is again:
Bacnex looks around at those of you with burning skin. He flies out of range of any swipes at him and begins to laugh. After being asked to help and receiving a few death threats he floats down between all of you. He closes his eyes and he begins to shutter. A pulse wave shoots out from his skin and you instantly feel relief from the heat. "That will not last long and I can only do it three times. I am saving the others for our intended destination so you had better find some way of dealing with the heat." With that he disappears from view like he normally does. The only way to see him is true seeing.
[ooc]Also, the 52 damage was over a minute. Anyone with fast healing has healed most if not all the damage. I will make an actual post tomorrow.[/ooc]
[edit by Max: sorry, i missed that entirely. I hate speed-reading sometimes. ]

"The plan is to pose as allies so long as it is advantageous to us. If that means we only do so long enough to get close, then that is enough. If we can do so long enough to get to the gate, so much the better. The sooner we travel through it, the sooner the real battle can begin. I trust that the promise of stronger foes on the other side is enough temptation for you bloodthirsty lot?" The blank-faced man is as impassive as always, as though he was expecting to say this.

The sounds of battle seem to have stopped. Now only movement and voices can be heard.
[ooc] I need to know exactly what you guys are doing, how you are approaching the situation. [/ooc]

[ooc] Ok, well knowing that my fast healing can apparently keep up with the heat damage, I'm no longer so concerned about it. And as a note, I hadn't missed the fact that Bacnex had given us a temporary respite against the heat, its just that he had even said it would be temporary. Given the fact that I thought I wasn't keeping up with the damage, I would have wanted something a bit more permanent. Anyway, last post edited slightly to get rid of a sentence that I wouldn't have said had I known. Moving on. [/ooc] Flipping loose the drawstrings on his bag of holding, as asked to earlier, he looks around at the group and everyone gets the feeling that he is smiling behind the gruesome mask he wears. "We'll scout ahead as usual. Be back in a jiff." And with that he moves off without a sound, slipping from cover to cover, ears intently listening to see if he can pick up on the conversation, eyes keenly watching for anyone who might spot him. Hide: 8+25=33 Move Silently:18+25=43 Listen: 10+28=38 Spot: 12+30=32

A brutal battle field lays before you as you creep around the corner to scout out the terrain. Many burnt and still burning corpses of what you guess to be gnolls litter the ground. From the looks of it, they didn’t stand a chance. Four enormous figures covered in thick vicious plated armor and carry large smoldering kriss swords walk around checking the bodies and conversing in an unknown tongue. They stand nearly 13 foot tall; with arms and legs thicker than most trees and terrible red scaly wings sprouting from their backs. Their heads are covered in horns and faces covered in red fiery facial hair. Two tall human shaped creatures composed of pure flame hover near them. They wear plane red robes that seem to float and billow in the tremendous heat, as the air shimmers around them. Their lower bodies are streams of flame that seem to curl around them like a serpent’s tail. The closest one is 40 feet from you and you see no banner.
Without warning one of the fire made creatures launches a blast of flame at you with deadly accuracy. “Trespasser! Kill him!” The words sprout from its flame wreathed mouth as the fire it launched sears your flesh. The rest of the group looks as if they are having a hard time finding you but charge the spot were the flame strike hit regardless. In seconds the giant creatures will be on you and more fiery blasts seem to be heading in your direction. What do you so?
[ooc] Nick you are not sure what the any of the creatures are and the one the talks, talks in abyssal. You are also very unlucky because my dice seem to like me today. One of the fiery creatures sees you and attacks you. You take 32 fire damage.
Strife, Kale, and Varaxious hear the fiery thing scream in abyssal and can make out what he said. Lio you can hear it, but aren’t sure what it said and Salazraen your mind is to busy holding a conversation with itself to hear the creature.
I need initiatives and actions for that initiative from everyone but James and Max. [ooc]

Init:19+5=24
Standing up he shifts his feet into a ready stance and glares at the oncoming attackers through the eyeholes of his mask, his eyes gleaming, as the slight burn put on him by the flame blast begins knitting itself back together. Calling out in a loud voice, in Abyssal, he grins under his mask. "Ha! 4 Brutes and two very squishable mage types? Thats it? Your odds aren't very good!! We shall very much enjoy ripping your everlasting souls from your bodies for our nourishment!" (Intimidate of 12+32=44)
And with that he meets the charge of the giants head on, sliding in at the last second to attempt to trip up one of them.
Tumble(1)DC15:16+17=33 Tumble(2)DC17:13+17=30 Tumble(3)DC19:10+17=27 Tumble(4)DC21:4+17=21
Starting the Trip Attempt: Melee Touch attack: 9+25=34 (No AOO from him because I have Improved Trip) My strength Check: 17+9+4=30 He needs to make either a Strength or Dex check opposing me (Assuming I hit.) he gets +4 additional I believe (Assuming he is large sized).
Also...Im not sure if he would take 2 negative levels or not. I did have to make that melee touch attack, and supposedly anytime i touch someone they take it, but im not sure if for gameplay purposes its only on attacks or what... Up to DM interpretation I guess. Let me know.

Varraxius Init: 17+8=25 Stance: Blood in the Water Manuevers Prepared: Shadow Stride
Pouncing Charge
Cloak of Deception
- Dancing Mongoose
- Sudden Leap
Zaxxis Init: 12+5=17 Varaxius sprints ahead of his compatriates, bounding to the edge of the corner. He stops, his back arching slightly as he hisses and teleports 50' to the top of the ledge overlooking the four fire giants below. He leans forward in preperation to strike on his next action, four blades held out in-front of him. Zaxxis's two heads turn towards each other, both snapping in preperation. The Two-headed antropomorphic shark feral werecrocodile moves ahead quickly, stopping 50' from the nearest giant after he has moved around the corner. His two mouths begin to froth as he enrages, both heads letting out a bestial howl. He is prepared to snap at any of the giants who get within 15' of him.

Salazraen puts both hands behind his head as if completely relaxed and lets out a sighing noise: "Whe~~~w... clearly something going on over there... Oh well." and continues his leisurely walking, completely unperturbed by the way his companions just went raging on ahead as though such a sight was as natural as breathing and he doesn't give it a second though.

Togashi drops a cloth onto the ground, leaping into the shadow it casts above it before the fibers begin to burn. He appears out of Sorack's shadow, on the far side of the opponents. Swiftly gaining his feet, he lays his hands upon the hilts of his Daisho and lets loose a Kiai shout that would send lesser beings running in fear.
shadow walk though the shadows, appear and use Greater Kiai (opponents within 30 feet that are 19 HD or lower make a DC 20 will save or are panicked for 2d6 rounds {check it for exact mechanics, but basically they run away full speed in fear, like turned undead})

Everyone who has the skills can make me a knowledge arcana, nature, and planes.
Varaxius moves to the corner and teleports to the edge of the cliff wall.
Sorack deftly closes the distance between him and the nearest giant. Unfortunately the giant’s size and strength seem too much to be easily tripped.
Both of the creatures of flame take to the sky with grace and move to a new position. Sorack and Kale feel the air getting thicker and harder to breath as the creatures get closer to them. Flying up in the air they are 15 feet away from both of you. Bolts of fire explode from their hands and one hits each of you. [ooc] They move and attack. One bolt hits Sorack for 32 fire damage and one bolt hits Kale for 31 fire damage. At the end of each of your turns make a fort save. [/ooc]
Zaxxis rushes to the corner and stands ready to intercept any would be attackers.
Kale’s claws open up a bloody gash on the chest of one of the giants.
One of the giants not currently engaged charges Sorack. Though he only travels a short distance, he gains plenty of momentum behind his blow. His strike opens a large gash from your shoulder to your stomach as your movements are not fast enough to prevent his attack. [ooc] The giant charges and attacks dealing 28 weapon damage to Sorack (DR applied). [/ooc]
Strife jumps through the shadows and comes to Sorack’s aid. Drawing his weapons and screaming a war cry, Strife sends one of the giants packing. His kiai shout scares off the giant that stabbed Sorack.
Suffering from a gapping wound in his chest, this giant just seems enraged and attacks right back. With three massive almost uncontrollable swings, two of them landing, the giant tries to exact his revenge. [ooc] The giant attacks three times and hits twice dealing 37 and 43 weapon damage to Kale. [/ooc]
A charge from this giant is just as successful as the last and just as harmful. The tip of his blade gets buried in your side. The giant chuckles as he sees your blood oozing from his strike. [ooc] He charges and hits dealing 39 weapon damage to Kale. Taking advantage of his fellow giant’s position, this one steps around to flank you. A powerful thrust puts his blade deep in your rib cage. Blood gushes from a terrible wound despite your bodies natural healing. [ooc] He steps into a flank and crits dealing 70 weapon damage to Sorack (DR applied). Make me another fort save. [/ooc]
The initiative order is: Varaxius Sorack Them Zaxxis Kale Them Salazraen Lio Strife Them

(Posting out of order since the order won't matter too much for the action and so the game can move quickly)
Knowledge Arcana 15 + 20 = 35 Knowledge Planes 10 + 20 = 30 (No Nature)
Salazraen delays until the end of the round waiting to see what all happens before acting.

Spewing vile curses in Sahaugin, Varaxius initates the Pouncing Charge manuever and the wings on his back billow as he leaps from the ledge and flies down atop the firey beast below. Midway through the flight, he swiftly initiates the manuever Cloak of Deception and he turns invisible, allowing him to hopefully catch his opponent flat footed as a storm of swords assaults the creature. The four kukris explode into a multitude of colors as lightning, fire, ice, and acid wound his foe.
He telepathically communicates with Zaxxis, "Charge my foe if he still stands, else prey upon the weaklings!" [/b]

Fort Save 1 (that I was told to make for being hit):11+24=35
As his many wounds slowly begin knitting together, he glares through the mask and makes a low growling sound in the back of his throat. Volaren then takes a quick step to the side of the giant so that the two of them are no longer flanking him before letting loose a barrage of attacks at the foul creature.
[/ooc] 5 foot step so that I am out of flanking and next to one of the giants. Flurry of blows.
Attack 1: 11+24=34 Attack 2: 8+24=32 Attack 3: 18+19=37 Attack 4: 20+14=34(Auto hit) Confirmation Roll: 12+14=26
(As a note: Since you didnt answer my OOC question from last time about whether I level drained him when i tried to trip him. If I did, all those attacks are 2 higher. If not, all attacks after the first one that hits are 2 higher.)
Damage 1: (8+7+6)+9=30+2Negative Levels Damage 2: (7+5+4)+9=25+2Negative Levels Damage 3: (1+7+4)+9=21+2Negative Levels Damage 4: (1+7+1)+9=18+2Negative Levels Crit Damage: (3+8+3)+9=23+2Negative Levels
(Same note as before applies to damage as well)
Total Damage (Before figuring in extra damage from the notes): 117 Damage 10 Negative Levels.
Fort Save That I was told to make at the end of my round: 18+24=42
Also, I heal 8 from Fast healing. (Wont help TOO much but every little bit of course. lol) Current HP: 97/243 And, Assuming all of my attacks hit, and Assuming I didnt get the level drain from last round, I have 60 Temporary Hit Points.
