Ok, this is getting a bit outside the rules, but isn't the scorching ray a fire attack? If so, even if it gives only 4d6 damage, I imagine that the rope will catch fire and burn away to drop the chandelier eventually, no?

Yes, good chance for another horror check... at least :-D

Another thing I wanted to remember. It's not true that Lucius can not harm Sefi. DR is not invulnerability to damage, so if Lucius happens to deal high damage it may overcome her DR which must be 10, I think.

The same goes for zombies, actually, who usually have DR 5/slashing

My bad, didn't pay attention.

Actually, you deal an average of 2-3 damage to her per hit. She only has DR 5/Silver

Of course, this means that you're possibly dangerous and she might actually pay attention to you now.

You're right, I forgot she was afflicted.

Even though, I might not score enough hits :-) On the other hand, she might also reason that the Devil is the top priority since it is the worst adversary.

Yes considering the fact it is the reason she went all HAIRY! on us.

Okay, how is this for a plan. Chandeliers, to my information, are located one above Lucius, one above Marentor, and one just ahead of Strahd. We concentrate on Marentor's Chandelier.

Round 3: Van and Cornelius concentrate on pushing their two zombies back towards the middle of the room. No clue how, but I trust you guys can figure something out.

Valerian casts Gaseous Form on William, he's safe for a while.

Tarlyn saves Marentor, no idea how, I'll leave that to him to figure out, but basically get him away.

Valerian stays under the chandelier as living bait.

Round 4: Valerian bursts out of the mess of zombies and the three casters each try and sever a rope with a scorching ray or searing light.

Result? Zombie pancakes.
The plan is very good, but the round 3 has already begun; Van has already played (he has casted fist of stone), Cornelius and Valerian can still do what you have said though. :wink:

???

I'm counting off from when the zombies/devil move. Rafael's *said* that they attack, but I haven't seen any rolls yet so I presume round 2 is still going on.

Tarlyn, can we get an update sometime soon?

You would be correct, NeoTiamat. We shall say that Marentor is like William, out of it. As for the damage, yes Lucius can certainly harm Sefi but with a lot of difficulty.

The ropes will definitely burn with the scorching ray spell!

The zombies are still down of te chandelier right? So maybe we can proceed with the plan.

Valerian will attack the devil and Tarlyn can help Marentor. William is in shock, but is he even unable to move?

Maybe Lucius now that Sefi is down can attack the devil, since it was the reason for Sefi's transformation.

What do you say?

Does this throw a spanner in the works of the plan then?

Can Van manage to take down a chandelier all by himself? Also can Tarlyn look after William as well, seeing as Valerian was too distracted to cast gaseous form on him?

Am I right in thinking that was round 3 done, and round 4 is starting?

Edit: Just read Vans post

Good point, what happens to those horror stricken to frenzy once the source of the horror is removed??

Well, if Lucius is more or less coherent now, he'll focus on the Devil. I assume the rest of you are only targetting the middle chandelier, so the one above Lucius, Valerian and the Devil should not fall. That is good because Lucius isn't running away.

I'd like to remember everybody that Valerian cast a Prayer before and so we should +1 to almost all of our rolls, and add -1 to the enemies' rolls.

That said, Lucius will attack the devil with holy water. I just hope he hits. Since it's a touched ranged attack, the devil must have an accessible AC (I hope). I have 6 flasks. Since I can't attack twice in the same round, I can use one action to share some of them with Valerian. Alternatively, Lucius and Valerian can also try to flank the creature. We'd need a tactical map for these two, or we could just assume that in his movement Valerian is already conveniently placed :-D

I'm afraid that the spells I have can not help much at the moment.

Yes BBDQ got a pm to that effect,,,,,, everyone is now fine, even Marentor, whom will simply move out of the way. All except for Draven but he knows when he'll wake up :P
