The day the warden caught the flu (encounter)

[Kuroimaken]

Actions

Is there a surprise round? Eren's first action will be to charge and hit the undead with a slam attack (50% chance of working on incorporeal targets since it's a magic weapon). If possible she will then use her Adhesive ability to grapple it as a free action (well, her grapple is considered a magic weapon...)

Attack and damage: 1d20+12=27, 1d8+6+1=10
Negated by incorporeality? No

No surprise round. Target is not incorporeal.

Next?

So apparently I still have the dragonsight up, so I'll be checking down the hallways for any more invisible foes.

"Do we even know if it's hostile yet? Can anyone trap it? It'd be better to know what we're dealing with!" Zane quickly shouts as he exits the room completely to check both ways down the hallway. He was starting to get used to his new improved sight, and he was hoping it would hold up in practice.

[PhaedrusXY]

"Well... he did say BRAAAINS!

That sounds pretty hostile to me... Not that I'm worried or anything... not having any and all that..."

[Solo]

"I say we have the Speak with Dead spell for a reason."

[Kuroimaken]

BTW, I'm keeping Matsuko's init a secret. I don't want you guys relying on my supa-sexy NPC for everything.

Meh. I'm tempted to "friendly fire" her just for wearing a lead-lined suit and being obnoxious about being "above our paygrade".

Knowledge(Religion) to identify important info. (1d20+21=37)
Arcane, Planes or Nature would be 34. Dungeoneering or Local would be 28.
Knowledge Devotion (1d20+21=22)

Specific knowledge? Probably. Advanced combat skills? Probably not. +2 attack/damage. +1 if Religion is the wrong knowledge.
Casting Invisibility Purge on Paul's initiative(20). 35 ft radius around Paul.

"I will make ze creature visible." Paul says, and begins chanting a spell, mixing both words and clucks to tap into true divine power. He moves 20 feet away from the entity and stops, keeping a safe distance.

"On it!" Eren shouts. The chair which Ghik had been sitting on moments before loses its shape and melds together with Eren's lower body. A tendril shoots out towards the undead.

Rolls in last post. If I hit, then start a grapple via Adhesive (it works like Improved Grab) do I still get to make an immediate grapple check to deal damage? In any case, I'm not treated as grappling due to the effects of Greater Multigrab

Prime... you're playing a tentacle monster, aren't you. 

BTW, can I get a grapple check on that? You've definitely hit his touch AC. I'm also going to need the DC of that adhesive (10+1/2 levels + Con. I'm not limiting it to only racial HD because I hate that rule). According to Adhesive's description, you automatically deal slam damage on a successful grapple check. Either way, here's his Reflex save against it: Evasive BRAAAAAAAAAINS (1d20+3=8) Yup, stuck.

Between the dancing lights and the invisibility purge, your target is now very much visible. It is not, as initially surmised, a zombie per se - he seems much more akin to a ghoul or ghast of some kind. As such, he stinks supernaturally. Fort save DC 15 versus sickness from everyone within 10 feet, please?

The director's corpse will then proceed to try and pry itself off the mimic's tentacle appendage.

Get off my BRAAAAAAAAAINS (1d20+3=20)

If the DC on that adhesive is lower than 20, he's now free.

[The_Mad_Linguist]

Save

1d20+1=7.  Darn, that stinks.

Think it's my init.  Sabot waves his hand, fanning the air away from him.  An icy wind picks up, blowing the smell away.

@Kuro

Iron Heart SUUUUURGE!

+2 morale until end of next turn

I don't need to make a grapple check to start a grapple, and my attack wasn't made as a touch attack. Likewise, he can't make a Reflex save to avoid it (that's for if he attacks me).

An adhesive-covered mimic automatically grapples any creature it hits with its slam attack.

If starting a grapple this way (similar to Improved Grab) lets me make a grapple check as soon as the grapple starts... Grapple check 1d20+15=20, Damage 1d8+6+1=14

Eren is immune to poison, so she is unaffected by ghast stench.

The director's corpse will then proceed to try and pry itself off the mimic's tentacle appendage.

It's 16... but what kind of action does this take, and does it provoke an attack of opportunity?

As long as the ghoul is grappled, it threatens no squares and loses its Dex bonus to AC. Does it appear to be wearing any magic items?

I wonder why on earth you'd get damage on a successful grapple check, then?

He's using a regular STR-based grapple check to get out of it, which is a standard action. No AoO there, unless for some reason you have an ability that would give you one. He doesn't appear to be wearing any magic items. Of course, that doesn't mean it's not CARRYING any. You have no detect magic on to make sure.

My original interpretation was that an Adhesive-induced grapple was just like a normal grapple once it started (meaning that escape uses the normal mechanics), and the Str check was only for removing weapons.

...but now I'm confused.

Escaping the grapple is a STR check as well (modified for size differences, of which there are none).

I'm counting your grapple check as being the one he currently fights against. He has managed to escape only barely (in case of a tie, victory goes to the defense).

Actually, Eren is in her natural form right now, so she's Large.

And where does it say escaping a grapple is a Str check?

Escape from Grapple
You can escape a grapple by winning an opposed grapple check in place of making an attack. You can make an Escape Artist check in place of your grapple check if you so desire, but this requires a standard action. If more than one opponent is grappling you, your grapple check result has to beat all their individual check results to escape. (Opponents don’t have to try to hold you if they don’t want to.) If you escape, you finish the action by moving into any space adjacent to your opponent(s).

[VennDygrem]

Since we all seem to be posting out of turn, I'll post for Talon.

On his action, Talon lets out a roiling gout of thick flame, almost napalm-like. It sticks to the entire area the director occupies.

Entangling Exhalation for half damage + Entangle, which is automatic unless he's immune to fire damage

The director is entangled for: 1d4 = 3 rounds
and takes only 2d6(2,2)=4 damage, DC22 for half. He takes 1d6 more damage each round he's entangled, however.

It's a modified strength check, same difference. Attack and defense basically roll Strength checks modified by size to define it, after all.

Either way, I wasn't taking Eren's large size into account, which means that in the end, our buddy the director is still not going anywhere.

Grapple is more akin to an attack roll than a Str check, as it includes BAB, and you can take Weapon Focus: Grapple. I don't think you can ever use Dex with it, though, even if you do have Weapon Finesse.

Sheesh. Either way the guy's not moving!!

[Risada]

Ghiktibur extends his wings and leap into the sky, then charges the undead with his weapon.

Swift: Sudden leap - 1d20+19=27 into the air. I hope I can gert at least 5 feet off the ground...
Full-round Action: Battle Leader's Charge

Let's see if my math is right:
1d20+18=29; 2d4+10 (base)+14 (Power Attack'ing for -7 on my AC, thanks to Heedless Charge) +10 (Battle Leader's Charge)

Double from dive and double from Headlong rush results into a x3 multiplier, resulting into 78 points of damage. If the bonus damage from the BLC applies before the multipliers, the total is 108; otherwise, it's 88.

...and Ghik gets -11 to his AC

And just in case, the Fort save: 1d20+12=21
