Getting Judan up there is a must, along with Ion (if he doesn't plan on using Blodwyn's bow; not sure what he has for ammunition, since that's still with Blodwyn). Having Ossic or Roongshri nearby would be useful for healing. Otherwise, the group can be supported from the ground with spellcasting or the like, perhaps. For example, I think Ossic has a high-level summon monster spell. He could summon one or more celestial or good-aligned critters and have them attack the vrocks. They could also help by giving Judan flanking partners, even if they can do little damage through DR (as with summon nature's ally spells). Kaskus of course can keep pumping out SNAs to provide additional combatants. Don't forget we now have 2-3 babau demons on a nearby rooftop as well, which are alternative foes if you cannot reach the vrocks, or have little useful to contribute in that fight. They should not be ignored as an inconsequential threat. I have a feeling if we take out just one vrock, the other two will pursue any airborne antagonists back to the ground. If someone does use Blodwyn's bow, keep in mind I don't think it's currently considered good-aligned, so you'll want to cast align weapon on it (or on 50 arrows) or you'll still have the beast's DR to overcome. Whoever shoots from the ground currently does not have to worry about cover penalties to hit, at least.

I'd expect one to hit about 50% of the time. They've got good spell-like abilities too, but are pretty fragile, so not good for flanking bonuses. 1-3 celestial giant eagles - about equivalent to giant owls, but slightly faster speed and the evasion SQ; otherwise, stats are very similar. They speak Common, so you can give them more complex orders (move to flank! aid Judan in his attacks! gang up on the southernmost demon!) which you cannot for some of the other creatures. 1d4+1 small air elementals - mainly useful as a distraction and to provide a number of fast-moving (speed fly 100 (perfect)) combatants; this is on the druid spell list too, at one level lower, so this might be a good one for Kaskus to conjure. They speak Auran only, so no fancy commands unless you know this language or have tongues going. 1d4+1 celestial hippogriffs - as fast as an air elemental, but less maneuverable; they do have good-aligned melee attacks though, and are large size which could possibly be advantageous. As celestial creatures they are intelligent, so would understand commands in Celestial. Energons are also summonable on summon monster V (they are in the Planar Handbook), but as a non-standard and especially weird creature, I think it's safe to say they would not be allowed! Overall, my recommendation would be the 1d3 celestial giant eagles. They are fast, intelligent, have decent hit points, evasion, and minor DR (5/magic), and don't forget they get smite evil 1/day to do +4 damage on one blow. My second pick would probably be the hippogriffs; they are weaker than the eagles, including no DR, but you get 1-2 more. For the druid the best summons are probably eagles (SNA 1), small air elementals or hippogriffs (SNA 2), and the giant eagle (SNA 3). They don't have the benefits of the celestial template, but do (in Kaskus's case) benefit from Augment Summoning, which raises Str and Con by +4 each.

Unfortunately, my next spanish course for Spring term (beginning March 31, and going until the start of June) is on Thursday nights. Do you guys think it will be possible at that point to change our gaming night again? I should be available pretty much any other evening (Monday-Wednesday would be best, of course). A decision doesn't need to be made immediately; there are still a few weeks before class begins. But I wanted to give everybody a heads up!

Posts: 316 Mar 8 11 8:37 PM Ghast Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Actually, Ion would like to try Blodwyn's bow. Blod dropped it and Ossic picked it up from the ship, correct? Ion's been wanting a chance with it to see if Blod is really a better archer than him, or if it is just the bow. Also, Ion's worried that something bad is about to happen with the strangely circling vrocks. Anytime something is winning and goes off to do something that seems stupid, it's usually only to kick you around even more. Ion can shoot the wounded one for 2 rounds while others *rise* to the occasion. I have a soccer coaches meeting Thursday night. It starts an hour before gametime, and they like meetings to be 45 minutes to 1 hour at most. Hopefully I'll be home in time to start or at most about 15 minutes late.

With that, he could double move up 60 feet, or run up in a single round (though he'd lose his Dex bonus to AC, putting him at a disadvantage if they decide to mob him instead of doing their song-and-dance routine). Still, it might be better to delay him a bit until Volreff can show up to do a haste spell on the group. Judan's ranged attacks are pretty bad (unless you are specfically built for archery and can overcome DR, archery attacks usually are).

Ken I rebooted the router and wireless radio twice to no avail. I determined that my WISP was having technical difficulties that did not get fixed until late the next day.

I'm wondering if he has those, why he's needing to get arrows from Ossic. Partly because I forgot... and partly because I thought that Blodwyn's bow had been "aligned" for shooting the vrocs. ....um, I suppose if that's the case Ion could still have used his own arrows...
