This post has the following content warnings:
He should have fallen on his sword. That would have been the sensible thing to do.
Punched his ticket for Elysium right away, no waiting around.
He thought they'd only kill him.
Why did he think that? How stupid was he? Why in the world did he think that?
And now instead of his next great adventure he's flubbed a save against dominate person.
(Of course he wears a hat - character art aside - he is a wizard, after all. The hat is a cone of solid steel which he cast shrink item on to reduce to a fraction of its size. When Toff Ornelos is caught in an antimagic field, the hat returns to its original size, a metal tent which surrounds him and breaks the line of effect. Then, from within his little bubble of not-antimagic-field, while his foes try to find a way to break or bypass the heavy steel without using magic, Toff Ornelos teleports away.)
Toff had rounds to buff. That means he's wearing spell turning. Trap the soul or flesh to stone would be too risky here.
Togomor casts aqueous orb beneath where Toff is flying and quickened dispel magic on the wizard's hat.
To provide a verbal component, you must be able to speak in a strong voice. A silence spell or a gag spoils the incantation (and thus the spell).
Drown~
And now the game is truly afoot!
He hopes he wins this round; Toff always carries good loot.
Dimension door.
Any character can hold her breath for a number of rounds equal to twice her Constitution score. If a character takes a standard or full-round action, the remaining duration that the character can hold her breath is reduced by 1 round. After this period of time, the character must make a DC 10 Constitution check every round in order to continue holding her breath. Each round, the DC increases by 1.
Among the things Toff Ornelos doesn't know about Glorio Arkona is that he has 26 Constitution.
In Toff's defense, this is not at all a normal amount of Constitution for a person to have.
He can hold his breath for a touch over five minutes before he even starts to sweat. Or, if he's spending his actions evading the osyluth and trying to find or force a way out of his stone prison, two and a half minutes. (He could totally kill an osyluth, even without sneak attack, even underwater where his weapons deal half damage. It'd just take forever, and what little damage it deals him isn't worth the time.) Even after that he'll likely last a minute or two before failing the Fortitude save and drowning proper.
Stone has Hardness 8 and slashing weapons do half damage underwater. His enchanted knife can't chip it. He can't get out of this on his own.
He's behind a major image and a closed door and a dome of solid stone. There are four erinyes devils and an osyluth playing goalie.
You are, however, welcome to try.
He knows it's a personal failing, but all the same can't kill an APL+5 erinyes at level 3, let alone four of them.
If he had more guns, maybe.
Royal decree. From now on, anyone who is controlling a shadow needs to wear robes with black and yellow stripes. I know that goes at least for Master Delmore and Archbishop Reebs. Reebs, get someone to prestidigitate them for you.
Anyone who attacks anyone wearing those robes will be fed to the shadows guarding the door.
In the long run, by which I mean in an hour from now, all the shadows in the Vault need to be named and listed on paper along with their locations and randomly checked in on and all shadows need to be positioned so that bound ones can restrain any which are suddenly freed and I'll work out the exact details in a moment and go over it with the Arbiters for constitutionality but right now I need every shadow in this room sealed inside a Bag of Holding.
Cool beans. Not sure what it has to do with us, though, so we're going to go find Lord Arkona now...?
Be reasonable! I want enough shadows outside the Bag to kill anyone who I want killed in a hurry.
No! NO.
What if someone'd cast a greater dispel in here? They'd all have gotten loose.
What in the Pit were you thinking??
Put all your shadows in the damn Bag of Holding.
Hm, I'm prestidigating those stripey robes right now... oh, look at that! No one's allowed to attack me anymore~.
So fuck off, Whore-Queen.
People keep saying that and I really wish they wouldn't. It's a horrib - UH - it's a, terrible, it's quite frankly just an extremely rude thing to call a person!
Are any of the shadows you have with you in command of a shadow that you don't have with you?
She's not stupid. All six shadows answered to the same progenitor, who's safely far away from her.
Is that a threat? I'll have you know that I don't give in to threats.
