Azure -- what do you think about making an Intimidate check for taunting the yuan-ti? And with what bonus, if so? (Ya'shenn's Intimidate is untrained, but I think she gets something like a +6 bonus between her Charisma modifier and synergy with the Bluff skill.)
Technically, the 'demoralize opponent' use requires "an opponent that you threaten in melee combat and that can see you." Would the ability to project images of brain-sucking illithids into someone's mind be an acceptable substitute? 
Yes, that would sure mess with MY morale. 
[New post soon?]
OOC: Na is kind of out of the fight at the moment. What should I do?
I don't really know much about Na'rai's abilities, but:
ranged psionic powers
ranged weapons (bow, whatever)
(The skiffs have arrow slits.)
Could try an insane stunt involving meleeing the wyverns/yuan-ti and teleporting. (I'm not sure I recommend that one though...Look at the Wyvern entry in the MM and note the Con damage from poison. 4-24 Con damage from ONE dose. Not to mention that the yuan-ti might have poison as well.)
Well, yeah... No D-doors left, not really a great shot, and no ranged powers. (I do however have to things of antitoxin). I created a chracter for closing to melee range with single powerful opponents (like mind flayers).
How long is Kirath out of the fight?
if the Wyverns come close enough to ram the ship i am in or when i could jump and enter melee with the rider of such a Yuanti, then i will make insane moves like that...
I will note the crew of this though
.........
Ya'shenn is FAR from optimized for melee, but she's had to use a longsword a few times. Does Na have a missile weapon? (If not, there is still probably a spare on board Na's skiff somewhere -- we are talking about githyanki here.)
If Na'rai had a teleport left, she could in theory even teleport to Kirath and de-poison him, but I don't know if that's something she would do anyhow. (Single-use magic items aren't cheap...) It is likely that the (NPC) pilot on Na'rai's skiff has missive to get in touch with Kirath's coordinator.
Melee might even be possible too, but Na would be much more exposed to enemy fire.
Is there anything of use in Ar'drus skiff?
Ar'dru took a lot of arrows (like 30 hp worth) at about the same time Kirath was poisoned, so I don't think those have been healed yet.

The two striketeam leaders were Tar'geel a 6th level githyanki fighter and Xykk't a Duthka'gith Gish fighter 4/sorceror 4.
Also what exactly did the posion from the 1 lucky arrow shot do to poor Kirath? As you said he was incapitated.
Hey guys, guess I lost track for some days, sorry about that.
Will read up and post soon.

1) There was a Psion too, as his coordinator. What was her name?
2) I said before, but you might have missed it ... the poison was a plot device. It incapacitates Kirath just long enough so that he doesn't know if his order to drop the illithid heads was followed or not, and who might have disobeyed. He can regain conciousness at any time.

Yeah, a wyvern could pretty much outright kill us like that. As a pretty unintelligent beast, I'm hoping the wyvern won't risk using its stinger against creatures climbing/riding on its back, though.
Though I would feel a whole lot safer if we also had antitoxins aboard...
She's Geb, I think.
Ya'shenn still has the PP to cure poison -- on a good Fort save, anyway -- but even the initial effects of wyvern poison are ugly.
You know, Ya'shenn would feel much better if she could restore another 2 or so of Du'minh's Constitution score... Wish I'd thought to put that into the "between combats" post.
Reading the MM entry on Wyverns, it implies (but does not state outright) that they don't tail-sting and fly at the same time....
I find this comforting.
As do I!
So should Du and Ii go ahead and roll Jump checks, attack rolls, and/or something else?

Also, Na'rai has 5 d-doors per day. This is what we agreed on, as trade-off for other abilities. She's used 3, so she has 2 more.
Once more, the Dice of Gith smiles at Du'minh!
That Nat 20 was eerily perfect for the moment I was trying to convey. 
Mine was sort of perfect too (not really) but our good and bad luck seems to come close together
Love it when a plan comes together...WOOT!!!, nice dice rolls for a change..
....
how many turns are we busy with the Wyvern, getting control and getting Du'mihn on the back and such?
How is the rest of the combat going?
....
....
meh, that is waaaay to long imo, but hmmz... 
That so makes me think of WWI dogfights between planes, lol...
Anything Du can do to contribute to the battle during those 5 turns?
Shooting with bow seems unlikely until we've gotten control, but how about reading magical auras of enemy forces and relaying that information to the fleet commanders through Ya'shenn?

So, how about the other two wyverns? Still attacking the skiff?
We will have to see about that now wont we? 
, Ii'Jyka"Vaar has the best skill rating in ride dragon, so we will want to test that skill to the max... 
how realistic is it to try and get a Wyvern as a mount asset, untill i ever can get my hands on a suitable mount (*read: real dragon blue or red dragon), the feat for getting a dragon cohort is only 9th lvl, but to get the size i need to have me ride it, i think i need to be 15th lvl myself...
Zimmy, do you have in your repertoire Psychic reformation or something by which a Wyvern could be mentally reconditioned/ and reformed to have a different feat set/ loyalty?
She could pick Charm Monster next level. I haven't decided what to do with Ya'shenn's next level, though. (It's possible that Geb might have the ability, too.)
A wyvern mount would be very cool, though.
As cool as it seems, its still 2nd best, lol, in the eyes of Ii'Jyka anyway...
And does she have Psychic Reformation or not, Zimmy? (its Telepathy 4)
Reason why i ask about this ability, is coz in combination to Charm, i see this as appropriate for such a reformation... reconditioning the brain of the monster, maybe swapping one feat or something and making it at least partially loyal to Gith, and not Yuanti is usefull imo..
i am trying to upload a piccy and its not working, sigh..
Ya'shenn doesn't have Psychic Reformation (mainly because the power doesn't exist in the 3.0 rulebook).
Of course, a sufficient amount of mundane training might make the wyvern into a decent pet. Take a while, though.

Huh, your not using Expanded Psionics Handbook 3.5?????? weird... 
Yeah, I didn't know that d20srd.org existed back when I made the PC. 
doesn't mean u cant update her... would take a minimum of effort imo i guess...
tonight on the boat to the Netherlands from the U.K., and ill be there for 1 week, then i will resume my life in U.K. again, will be online now and then, but i cant say for sure how serious i can post...just so u all know..
Have a great holiday.
Re: Dunamin's article:
Is there currently any existing psionic power (in 3.0 or 3.5) that would essentially create a HUD for one's fellows?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-up_display
I suppose the basic idea could be done via mindlink, but I'm thinking of actual bonuses being provided. (Attack rolls, AC, or maybe initiative come to mind.) Seems natural for psions with both telepathic and clairvoyant powers.
BoGr Guide to Missile Combat:
1) Equip a bow or crossbow.
2) Roll a natural 1 on d20.
3) ?????
4) Profit!
