So - here, in this world, faerie dragons are actually fey?

They are something between fey and dragons taking advantage in part of the nature of both.

DP, upon rereading this chapter I was very puzzled by the actions of the Drow wizard. Normally all his buff spells should affect everyone (except Mirror Image I guess). This means that on round 1 he could have made everyone invisible under Greater Invisibility, not just the poison user. Then spells like Snake's Swiftness or Haste apply to everyone, too.
For example on round 1 he could have had everyone under Greater Invisibility, Haste and one other spell of choice, and affected them all with Dimension Step to let Yrten and Morwyn make full attacks immediately.
Definitely seems better than what he chose to do there, no?

It certainly would, the thing is they assumed their team would win regardless so their tactics were aimed at maximizing heir personal prestige, hence only the assassin getting haste. if the fight had gone on one more round the wizard would have revealed himself dramatically to deliver a finishing blow.

So in harder fights (Melisandre, Dragon) I can expect to see them all go full-buff on round one? Or at least all suddenly turning into teleporting super-fast giants when the enemy looks likely to start winning?

EDIT: I don't expect them to beat Melisandre, actually. They lack Dispelling power. BUT I do hope for an epic fight or two as they go further into the contest !

Oh, and I just remembered that both Drow have shadow cloaks. Will their character sheets be altered to reflect the "Shadow Cloaks are 1/day" ruling ?

Sorry to nitpick :/
I'm just happy to see my pet murderous racists have some fun !

  1. Yes, they will be going all out
  2. They will be yes.

I'm hoping to see everyone on his team get the simultaneous Freedom of Movement, Greater Invisibility, Displacement, Polymorph treatment. It should be glorious. Resist Energy(Fire) wouldn't hurt, either.
 
@DragonParadox, here is the updated version of their sheets. The one on the front page is out of date, sorry. This one is also more easily readable!

@Goldfish, could you edit the Shadow Cloaks to 1/day in the linked sheets? That way DP can easily copy/paste these sheets into the "Mystical Subjects" section of the front page without bothering with the details when he gets the time for this later.

The Nixie's Lure ability is not a spell of even a SLA it is a supernatural ability, it also does not create ongoing control of the subject, she can't give him orders, it just makes him fascinated.

She used Charm Monster on Aeron. If he had PfE, it would have just ground out.

And looking at the Lure, it's a Mind-Affecting effect. Stated in the text. No dice.

Ah, Nixie, I thought she was the other thing.

Is our Arena 300 feet wide?
Because that ability could have been a serious danger to the watchers.
Captivating Song (Su)

A harpy's song has the power to infect the minds of those that hear it, calling them to the harpy's side. When a harpy sings, all creatures aside from other harpies within a 300-foot spread must succeed on a DC 16 Will saving throw or become captivated. A creature that successfully saves is not subject to the same harpy's song for 24 hours. A victim under the effects of the captivating song moves toward the harpy using the most direct means available. If the path leads them into a dangerous area such as through fire or off a cliff, that creature receives a second saving throw to end the effect before moving into peril. Captivated creatures can take no actions other than to defend themselves. A victim within 5 feet of the harpy simply stands and offers no resistance to the harpy's attacks. This effect continues for as long as the harpy sings and for 1 round thereafter. This is a sonic mind-affecting charm effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Done, though only Tuin has a Shadow Cloak.
 

My predictions for next round:
  • Melisandre will bleed again, but will likely win.
  • Amrelath will win his fight easily, leading to an Amrelath / Melisandre next round. And it won't even be the final !
  • Varys will fight a Dragon Turtle, and it will be amazing. I expect his team to lose, but seeing Varys be awesome again makes it worth it.
  • Valaena's team is screwed.
  • Team Snake vs Team Blue will happen in the semifinals.
Current prediction for the finals: Melisandre VS team Blue.

She has Dispel Magic as a known spell, so she could have easily suppressed it without him realizing it during the heat of battle.

"Remember though, fratricide just leads to more fratricide. Just settle for a little principality on some Lower Plane for a few centuries, you'll get bored of all the treachery really fast."

"Shouldn't you be more worried about patricide? I guess it's also regicide?"

*amused smirk* "That's cute."

Which still requires the additional roll of a CL check and giving Oberyn a full round to work with before getting neutralised. That matters.

Additional note: the Lure gives a second save if you'd be putting yourself into danger, and allows you to defend yourself from anything except the one responsible. Given how low the save is, it's very likely Oberyn would have made it on the second try.
