((Dont' know if it's metagamey if the fluff part of the invasion was full of lightning attacks as well.))
The death of Cecil left Menek in a subdued mood. Unlike Viss, he had truly believed the elder Fairhaven to be a genuinely good person. Cecil's campaign to remake Faerun had been similar to Menek's own efforts in his past life in Minae after all. The biggest difference, of course, was that Cecil had been far more pure and honourable in his efforts and had actually moved against genuinely evil threats. Menek's own misguided and far more vicious crusade seemed petty, ugly, and stupid by comparison.
Ciel's mental breakdown and erratic behaviour had not helped matters.
It was because of this introspection, combined with the general strain of the long day, that left Menek completely nonplussed by Bungo's shouted warning let alone the actual attack and the scene of their new home being assaulted by overwhelming numbers.
It was horrible.
As Menek frantically mixed an extract of
Iron Skin it dawned on him why he was so panicked. He couldn't remember the last time he had faced an opponent that he had not prepared for
We don't know anything about them.. they obviously know... how could the Raven Queen have not been ready? he muttered to himself as he swigged the extract down as Fleshbane charged through smaller foes and Sybil organized a semblance of a line of defense.
((Iron Skin +6 AC as inital buff, making Menek's AC 29 unless there is some other buff incoming))
He doesn't remember who shouts the command to retreat to the forest but Menek obeys it guiding his broom into a deep drive towards the trees, trying to ignore Ratbreath's frantic gibbering under his robe.
High... technology Menek shouts.
They must.. they have to be vulnerable to electricity
Drawing from the depths of his expanding new knowledge of the arcane Menek hurls a massive ball of lightning at the large artillery piece willing it to arc to the other enemies close by.
((Round One Standard Action: Chain Lightning, new 7th level spell, 13d6 damage, hit artillery as well as secondary bolts on N4, M12, and L13. Artillery needs reflex DC 25 to halve damage, hoverbikes need reflex DC 23 to halve damage. Rolling 4 times in order of mention))
13d6=46, 13d6=42, 13d6=49, 13d6=40
((Can Menek roll any knowledge to try to figure these guys out? That might affect a swift action))
((Free Action Inspired Knowledge:Engineering roll. Using brand new Tenacious Inspiration to allow a reroll of inspiration and take higher value:
1d20+12=28, 1d8=7, 1d8=2 So taking +7 to get to 35 ))
((Move Action Studied Combat on Artillery))
((How many people are going to attack the artillery piece? if a roll of 35 is good enough than Menek can use the +4 to attack roll buff for one round for maximum effectiveness))
