Anyone up for a D&D adventure?

[Sandman]

"Let's see what you've got, mister boney."

*Rinses sword with holy water*

[loinburger]

Anybody know what the Aid spell does?

Edit: Never mind, found it on the Priest list that Vlad put up.

[Rand Al'Tor]

Well we haven't actually seen the guy yet did wee?

[Rand Al'Tor]

Sphere: Necromantic
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M
Duration: 1 round + 1 round/level
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: Creature touched
Saving Throw: None

The recipient of this spell gains the benefit of a bless spell (+1 to
attack rolls and saving throws) and a special bonus of 1d8 additional hit
points for the duration of the spell. The aid spell enables the recipient
to actually have more hit points than his full normal total. The bonus hit
points are lost first when the recipient takes damage; they can not be
regained by curative magic. Example: A 1st-level fighter has 8 hit points,
suffers 2 points of damage (8-2=6), and then receives an aid spell that
gives 5 additional hit points. The fighter now has 11 hit points, 5 of
which are temporary. If he is then hit for 7 points of damage, 2 normal
hit points and all 5 temporary hit points are lost. He then receives a
cure light wounds spell that heals 4 points of damage, restoring him to
his original 8 hit points.
Note that the operation of the spell is unaffected by permanent hit
point losses due to energy drain, Hit Die losses, the less of a familiar,
or the operation of certain artifacts; the temporary hit point gain is
figures from the new, lower total.
The material components of this spell are a tiny strip of white cloth
with a sticky substance (such as tree sap) on the ends, plus the priest's
holy symbol.

[Rand Al'Tor]

and on that note, I must leave. Feel free to use my character as you see fit, but please try to keep him in one piece.

[loinburger]

Next round I'll put up a Protective Aura (free action) and continue casting Holy Smite (centered so as to affect the maximum number of undead), and my sword will focus its attacks first on the Death Knight, next on the Wraiths, and next on the Wights (the skeletons ought to be toasted by my Holy Smites by the time the sword gets a chance to attack them).

Everybody in the party: get within 20 feet of me so that my Protective Aura covers you.

How're everybody's hit points going? Anybody need healing?

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Everyone: Doing first-round of battle now.

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Need combat decisions for next round...

[Vlad Antlerkov]

So, here's the list:

Sandman-- attacking again
Rand-- Bless
Loin-- casting Monster Summoning VII
Kass-- attacking again
UR-- attacking again
Lorizael-- Melf's acid arrow
Loin's sword-- attacking Death Knight
Imran-- attacking again
Che-- attacking again

Anyone differs, post new commands here.

What I'm planning on having the Death Knight do next round won't be good for you guys. Trust me.

[chequita guevara]

My initiative sux.

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Will do second round shortly.

If anyone wishes to change what they do in this round, please do so before 9:30 EST (230 GMT, IIRC).

[loinburger]

I'm a Solar, so casting Protective Aura is a free action for me.

For my full round action I'm going to cast Monster Summoning VII.

BTW, do any of the monsters attacking us have +4 or better weaponry?

[Vlad Antlerkov]

updated

Loin-- can you refresh my memory on what Protective Aura does, exactly? (I can't find a spell by that name in my list.) And do you know any spells below 7th level?

And yes, the Death Knight's 2H sword is a two-handed sword +4. Why?

Protective Aura (Su): As a free action, solars can surround themselves with a nimbus of light having a radius of 20 feet. This acts as a double-strength magic circle against evil and as a minor globe of invulnerability, both as cast by a sorcerer whose level equal to the celestial’s Hit Dice. The aura can be dispelled, but the celestial can create it again as a free action on its next turn.

And do you know any spells below 7th level?

Oh sure, but I'd rather use my spell-like abilities. They're cheaper.

And yes, the Death Knight's 2H sword is a two-handed sword +4. Why?

I wanted to see if my damage resistance was going to be effective or not, since solars get damage resistance 35/+4.

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Right, so you can block 4 spell levels worth of spells, get +4 AC/saves... gotcha.

And if I allowed an all-Vaati campaign, I'll allow a Solar.
