Repost starting with Ridcully...
Vathalin 24
Fargrim 17
Ridcully 17
The Evil Brain 11
Edwena 10
Shroom 2
Ridcully takes the opportunity to slip behind the outline of the brain (now invisible..but faultily so..) and flanks with Vathalin. He stabs at the fizzing shadow, but misses the mark. He feels the jar swing by him at one point.. and he knows he missed by millimeters.
The evil brain suddenly shimmers into view, and you realize it is having a hard time maintaining it's invisibility. The flaming sphere burns it, and the liquid inside seems to boil.
There is another lightning flash of bubbling ectoplasm that reaches out towards each of you...followed by gurgling maniacal laughter. The high-pitched underwater voice booms out..
"Fools! You will be fuel for the FINAL ENGINE. I will reanimate your bodies as slaves for my lab!"
Ridcully drops unconscious at this point and metallic laughter rings throughout the staircase.
"Beg for your lives, fools!"
Edwena answers back with a desperate lance of faith, which misses. And Shroom launches another magic missile, which flies wide.
"I need no oafish orc bodyguards.. I need no invisibility to deal with fools like you. .."
the liquid in the brain-jar is now fully boiling, and Shroom maneuvers the flaming sphere back underneath it.
Vathalin pours on the attack..and lands a solid hit against the brain finally, which seems to crack the jar with a shuddering overhead impact from his greatsword.
Fargrim moves up and unleashes a single well placed cut that neatly cleaves the jar in half.. fizzing green liquid and glass shards explode around the room.
The blackened evil brain lies squirming on the floor... next to the unconscious form of Ridcully. . .
====OOC====
Ridcully starts with a 20 to hit (+2 for flank to make it a 22, but -5 to account for invisible) it goes down to only 17, and Ridcully misses..but just barely! Ridcully is suffering a -2 to will saves from the last Mind Stab, and he makes a save against that effect now:
1d20=6. he is still suffering -2 to will defense.
The Evil brain goes visible (it can only maintain invisible until the start of it's next turn, and must attempt to recharge with a 4-6 on a d6). It attempts to recharge and rolls a 3.
1d6=3. It fails. It takes 5 damage from the Flaming sphere.
The evil brain is now down to 14 hp and "bloodied".
The brain shifts to the side, out from between Vathalin and Ridcully and attempts another Mind stab (close burst 3). This time, it targets Vathalin, Fargrim, Edwena, and Ridcully. (in that order, this attacks Will):
1d20+8=16, 1d20+8=12, 1d20+8=26, 1d20+8=22(hits Vathalin)(his Fargrim -yes, with a 12)(hits Edwena)(hits Ridcully)
This does a total of
1d6+4=10 damage to each of you. Knocking Ridcully down to -4, Fargrim down to 12, Edwena to 13 hp, Vathalin to 3 hp. Shroom is fine back in the rear for now.
Edwena's LOF misses, but not by much. Shroom's final magic missile roll misses also, but again..not by much.
Vathalin attacks with oath of Pursuit:
1d20+5=18, 1d20+5=19 Taking the 19 (which is a hit), he does
1d10+4=9 damage.
The Evil Brain is down to 4 hp.
Fargrims final cut hits (ac 21) and kills (9 damage) the evil brain.
