[Elysian Blade]

You passed both of them I made the spoilers where you can insert where the rolls need to be there is actually one more a knowledge roll. :smallbiggrin:

[runhidesurvive]

This is what happen's when I drop my glasses somewhere :smallfurious:.
[roll0] Knowledge local.

[Elysian Blade]

Wow you passed them all good job now you know eveything in your situation right now :smallbiggrin:

[runhidesurvive]

Woo! Though sadly this will be me for the now as I have to go for now. I am however usually always around at some point each day. However good night for now.

EDIT: Also I'm fine with any color but I shall choose Dark green for now.

[Elysian Blade]

Thats fine. Night.

Spot: [roll0]

No knowledge ranks, so, can't make a trained-only check.

Claiming Dark Slate Blue.

[BassWalker]

I'm claiming this hue of orchid.

Listen: [roll0]
Spot: [roll1]
Knowledge (Arcana): [roll2]

[Elysian Blade]

Do you want me to continue on the game or wait a little bit more for other people to talk?

[BassWalker]

Let's wait until everyone's had a chance to join in.

By the way, just a little tip on pbp games. How you did the first post, with spoilers saying to roll to see if you know the next paragraph of information; you may want to put the instructions to roll as normal and instead place the information in a spoiler. I don't know about the others, but I find that it helps the immersion a little if you can't accidentally read information you're not supposed to know by simply trying to figure out what you can read.

Okay I do that next time

[Alihandros]

I'll go this for some fun

And hopefully the die roller decides to favor me and work....

[runhidesurvive]

Yeah I don't see anything wrong with your last roll's, odd.

[BassWalker]

You cannot place the roll code into a post preview (or hit preview with roll code in it). It simply won't work.

[Elysian Blade]

I think he messed up on his last rolls and tried to edit it to fix it but you cannot edit in rolls it doesnt work.

[Kazyan]

[roll0]

Spot check.

[Elysian Blade]

[roll0]

Spot check.

As the guard walks by the prisoner moving his hand you see that in the same motion of his hand he took the cell key off the guards key chain and closed his hand on it to hide it from sight

Nice roll the most unintellgent is the most perceptive :smallbiggrin:

[Alihandros]

Spot

[roll0]

[BassWalker]

Spot: [roll0]

I'm assuming that there's nothing to stop Cole from simply walking through the bars now that the guards are gone?

[Elysian Blade]

Well then if you manage to climb up to the bars the can you tell how your going to open the 50 pound door at the end of the hallway? :smallconfused:

And you see what kazyan seeS.

[BassWalker]

Maybe you need to better explain what the cells look like, and how they're made?

[Elysian Blade]

I thought I already did?:smallconfused:

4 Cells each side of the hallway thes biggest all the way down the hall is yours. Theres a door made out of the same antimagic material that makes the whole dungeon. The view threw the bars is barely big enough to squezed a humans arms threw.

So the cat and dwarf girl both saw the guy take the keys are you going to explain to the rest of them?

[BassWalker]

Not what I meant. Do the cells have solid walls or bars? I had thought the latter before, but now I'm thinking it's the former...

Anywho, the idea was for Cole to take the keys back to the people who could open said door :smalltongue:

[Elysian Blade]

You can try if you like nobodys stopping you. :smallbiggrin:

Also its a door with bars about the middle up on the door.

[runhidesurvive]

Sorry for the lateness but here's my spot.

[roll0] Spot Check.

[Elysian Blade]

At least you tried.

[runhidesurvive]

Yeah, just so you know I shouldn't have made that, most very simple locks have a DC of 20.

[Elysian Blade]

Ill fix it since your being good about it +50 xp

[BassWalker]

If noone minds, I'm going to write in the past tense. My writing style doesn't lend itself well to present tense.

[runhidesurvive]

Sure, don't mind. Everyone has different writing styles.

[Kazyan]

Go ahead.

Also, I'm out of ideas until we can get out of the antimagic cell. We're relying on the fire-breathing cat right now.

[runhidesurvive]

Yep. But if he can use his breath weapon then he's probably to strongest ranged person in our party for now.

[BassWalker]

Yep. But if he can use his breath weapon then he's probably to strongest ranged person in our party for now.

1d6 damage in a 30' line, with friendly fire enabled. Yup, Cole OP. :smalltongue:

Someone needs to tell the guy in the other cell to hand over the key.

[Alihandros]

Fire kitty provides ranged, get me out of the antimagic area, and I can infuse myself to tank......hopefully.....though I really don't want to.....

[runhidesurvive]

I thought the stone only stopped magic going through it? Can't we still cast in the room on ourselves?

[Elysian Blade]

I thought the stone only stopped magic going through it? Can't we still cast in the room on ourselves?

Yes you can the stone is indestructable to magic but you can still do things in the cells with magic.

[BassWalker]

Yes you can the stone is indestructable to magic but you can still do things in the cells with magic.

That is... good to know.


A creature attacking with a breath weapon is actually expelling something from its mouth (rather than conjuring it by means of a spell or some other magical effect).

Consider the back-up plan formed.

[Elysian Blade]

Well now what is your plan of action? :smallbiggrin:

[runhidesurvive]

Does the corridor go both ways, or is it a one way exit from where we came in? Also yeah Kitty cannon will be our main damage dealer while I'll probably provide support.

[Elysian Blade]

There is only one exit the way the guards let through.

[Kazyan]

As soon as Ramiele gets some kind of drawing tool, she can bind a vestige in two minutes. I'm thinking either Savnok to tank with (the full plate's gauntlets can serve as a weapon), or Amon for damage-dealing.

[runhidesurvive]

This could end badly then...
Edit: Oh, also I can give at least two people mage armour (I'd like to keep two other spells for other situations.) Out of all of us who would need it the most?

[BassWalker]

That'd probably be the two who plan to tank for us, Run.

And Cole's more of a BFC build, less DPS (I know, the term doesn't fit well into d&d).

[Elysian Blade]

As soon as Ramiele gets some kind of drawing tool, she can bind a vestige in two minutes. I'm thinking either Savnok to tank with (the full plate's gauntlets can serve as a weapon), or Amon for damage-dealing.

You can always use your blood as a writing tool if you dont mind being a little demented. :smallbiggrin:

The people who might need it I'd say not the cat he has the most life after all. Mostly likey anyone else. :smallbiggrin:

[runhidesurvive]

And here's my listen check.
[roll0] Listen check.

[Kazyan]

Listen: [roll0]

If there's not other option, she could use her own blood, but, yeesh. Not her first choice. Ramiele could scratch something in the surface of the stone if she can borrow the metal key, but she is definitely not that clever.

Say, can the casters actually cast right now? We don't have spell component pouches with us.

[Elysian Blade]

And here's my listen check.
[roll0] Listen check.

Your good at this:smallwink:

He says "There are another pair of guards upstairs I think the warden is in the palace so that's in our favor the two guards are wearing studded armor arnd have spears. There all siting down at a round table making it hard to sneak past without them noticing, I also saw a chest a straight shot most likely containing your spellbook. On the walls, it's lined with a couple of tower and kite shields, there's a weopens rack holding spears, swords, and axes, and a couple of weopens I dont know of. What should we do to get out Cailan?"

Straight from his mouth not mind of course :smallcool:

Edited: Can you see it?

[Elysian Blade]

Listen: [roll0]

You made that roll too...maybe I should make them a little bit harder, You can cast spells that dont require componets ones that do require them you cant cast.

[runhidesurvive]

I completely forgot about spell components. That takes out the more useful of my spells. Theres still a few that I can use though. If we lure one out I can charm person them, but that doesn't stop the possibility of them passing their save.

[BassWalker]

I would say that the Wizard should just sit in the corner and draw while we handle the guards, but the Binder's already doing that. :smalltongue:

[Elysian Blade]

Well you can try to sneak pass them dc 25 :smallbiggrin:

Kazyan you can always ask for the key. :smallconfused:

[Elysian Blade]

I would say that the Wizard should just sit in the corner and draw while we handle the guards, but the Binder's already doing that. :smalltongue:

So sad but look at the good news there's three more corners in the hallway :smallbiggrin:

[Kazyan]

Kazyan you can always ask for the key. :smallconfused:

Roleplaying. The character with Int 3 is not good at problem solving.

[runhidesurvive]

Do we even have a wizard? But yeah I have two spells that could work here. Charm person and Hypnosis, Hypnosis can effect both of them but they only act favorably to that command. If we get one on their own and charm person them, we can get them to go into a cell and lock it, then dealing with only one person. But this is only what I can do, I'm not very aware what most others classes can do, never seen a Binder or Dragonfire Adept before :P

You can try to charm one into taking off there clothes the you have a weopen and some armor. :smallbiggrin:

[BassWalker]

Am I mistaken, or have I been imagining the mentionings of spellbooks?

Yeah, sorry. I had thought you were a wizard for some reason. I must be thinking of another game.

[runhidesurvive]

I don't know if I trust my Charisma enough to make him strip :I But it is a idea.

[Elysian Blade]

Look towards the previous post. :smallbiggrin:

:smallbiggrin:

[runhidesurvive]

Nah, I'm a beguiler, basically sorcerer but with illusions and enchantments. But yeah I mix up peoples classes all the time, especially when you get into the prestige classes :smalltongue:

[Rizban]

Right, guess I'm in the game now.

[Elysian Blade]

Right, guess I'm in the game now.

Recommend to start making some noise your in the cell closest to the door/ Hidden :smallbiggrin:

[Elysian Blade]

Even with that high intimidate only makes a little bit of change.

[Kazyan]

I'll say you grabbed Ramiele. Opposed Level + Wisdom check: [roll0]

[runhidesurvive]

Those scary fey creatures. They're good at what they do :P

[Rizban]

Those scary fey creatures. They're good at what they do :PEven when they roll low.

[BassWalker]

Elysian, would you mind if we removed

The opaque wall's near endpoint begins at any corner of your space and extends in a straight line for 10 feet or until it contacts a solid surface.
... this bit from Exhaled Barrier (http://dndtools.eu/feats/races-of-the-dragon--83/exhaled-barrier--975/), and instead let the wall be 10' anywhere within Cole's range? Needing to begin the wall on his space is silly.

[runhidesurvive]

True. So now we have another member in our little group of misfits.

[Rizban]

Elysian, would you mind if we removed

... this bit from Exhaled Barrier, and instead let the wall be 10' anywhere within Cole's range? Needing to begin the wall on his space is silly.

But you're using your breath weapon, literally exhaling the barrier...

[BassWalker]

But you're using your breath weapon, literally exhaling the barrier...

Yes, and a wall two squares across and beginning on my occupied space is silly. As written, it's saying that Cole can't simply aim further away, despite his breath having a range of 30' in a line (which is what I assume would be used for this, not the cone).

[runhidesurvive]

Alihandros, I think we were all in the same cell as it was the largest. But if not I think we should let Kazyan finish her thing, or do bindings have a time limit?

[Elysian Blade]

I dont really wanna change the limiter soory because this way you become even stronger sorry.:smallfrown:
Two squares of a wall can block a lot of things.
Oh yeah cole hears the guards say what was that at the fey's shout.

[Kazyan]

Soul binding takes two minutes and lasts 24 hours. I need to go get my class feature before we start fighting people. :smalltongue:

[BassWalker]

I think you misunderstood. I don't want to make the wall any bigger. I just want to be able to place it freely in his breath's range (line of effect allowing, of course).

[Elysian Blade]

I think you misunderstood. I don't want to make the wall any bigger. I just want to be able to place it freely in his breath's range (line of effect allowing, of course).

Oh okay that's fine.

Are you going to try to warn anyone or hope it dies down up stairs? :smallsmile:

[BassWalker]

Thank you kindly.

[Elysian Blade]

Thank you kindly.

NP I hope you can handle it for a little bit. :smallsmile:

[Rizban]

I shouted? When?

[runhidesurvive]

Well,I'd imagine we've been making a bit of noise, I'm guessing all our speaking has just built up the the guards hearing us.

[Elysian Blade]

And if your doing intimidiate I think you raise your voice some and its only one of the seven guards it actually works in your favor.

[Rizban]

And if your doing intimidiate I think you raise your voice some and its only one of the seven guards it actually works in your favor.

I'm pretty sure Batman is far MORE intimidating when he lowers his voice. Using Intimidate should not require shouting. That's silly.

[runhidesurvive]

Eh, well ones coming anyway, lets just try not to die straight away, I don't think anyone here can heal yet.

[Kazyan]

Hmm. If Ramiele is in the middle of negotiation with Amon (1 minute) instead of drawing the seal (1 minute) when the guard shows up, she'll rush the binding. This reduces the negotiation to 1 round, but imposes a -10 penalty to the binding check.

[BassWalker]

I'm pretty sure Batman is far MORE intimidating when he lowers his voice. Using Intimidate should not require shouting. That's silly.

Fixed that for you. May I just say that it'd be best to better describe actions, rather than assume that people think in the same manner? It may just be the years of forum rp speaking, but things tend to go more smoothly when there's more detail and less vague.

Yes less vague makes a more interesting story sometimes. :smallbiggrin:

[BassWalker]

Shall we roll for initiative, then?

[Elysian Blade]

go for it guards [roll0]

[Kazyan]

I need a short while to get home before dedicated posting again. *phone*

[Elysian Blade]

Im on my phone now and forgot to hit save on the sheet. all guard 16 12 14 10 14 8 except archers you hurt the greatsword guard with full plate.

[Elysian Blade]

your wall gives you 24 seconds

[aabicus]

Initiative didnt work, rolling it in here. Not that I'm still trapped in my cell so I'll be making Open Lock checks for every turn until I'm out

[roll0]

[Elysian Blade]

Yes you get your ready action.

Are you okay with me saying the wall faded and the guards are coming or do you need to discuss it and talk it over and possibly free bogards character?

[aabicus]

Does that mean I failed my "Open Lock" check?

Honestly, if you people are combat-oriented kill the guards and worry about me after that. I won't be much help in a straight-up fight.

[runhidesurvive]

Yeah I think you failed, you probably need at least a 20 to get out.

[Kazyan]

How far am I into the binding process, after the wall slowed down the guards?

[Rizban]

I'm ranged combat oriented... Kinda useless until I get a bow though...

[runhidesurvive]

And yeah I'm just going to continue to wait for them to get in range so I can cast Hypnosis.

[BassWalker]

Elysian, it's up to you how long it lasts out of combat, I'd say. Maybe 20-30 seconds, which has probably passed or is close to passing.
But yes, I'm fine with the flames dying. Cole can always breath another, or entangle the guards on the steps so that they bottleneck themselves.

Hurray for the neverending BFC! :smallsmile:

Rizban, you can still punch, can't ya? Haha.

[Alihandros]

So we aiming to bum rush 'em if we can? I can probably try to stop them for a little bit as I'm probably the most defensive at the moment. As for hitting something, that is a different can of worms to go for.

The hypnosis, I'd say go for the "captain".

[runhidesurvive]

I'm planning on probably doing the old "You are feeeeling sleeeepy" Thing. Or perhaps getting them into a cell and locking it.

[aabicus]

Listen: [roll0]

If there's not other option, she could use her own blood, but, yeesh. Not her first choice. Ramiele could scratch something in the surface of the stone if she can borrow the metal key, but she is definitely not that clever.

If she meets up with my character Haara, Haara would be willing to donate her blood. She gets +4 against disease on top of a good Fortitude save, so she'd be the least likely to get infected from an open wound.

[Elysian Blade]

Yes you failed the open lock check.

The wall keeps up 24 seconds 4 rounds times 6 is 24 :smallbiggrin:

Also the guard cole attacked is wearing full plate and gets a plus 1 from dex so you kinda didnt hit him.

Runhidesurvive if your trying to do mind effecting things guard gets 2 to the save plus his dmg that he has which is 3 making it 5

Anything I missed? :smallconfused:

[runhidesurvive]

Yeah, I can effect 5 HD of stuff and the DC for the spell is 16.

[BassWalker]

Elysian, how are you going to handle combat and initiative? Because just posting whenever we can defeats the purpose, and can get pretty chaotic.

If you're enforcing posting one-by-one in the order that we've rolled, then I'd suggest a time limit (maybe a day or two) that we have to post once our turn comes around.

I know I said guards int 15 same with the 2 npc:smallconfused: I thought someone rolled a 18 they have to before I move the guard.

Well lets see if he resists it then [roll0] dc 16 if the roll should be different please tell me.

edit he didnt make it.

[BassWalker]

Then we are going one-by-one in order as if it were a live game? Alright. I only ask because it's been a few days, and I've seen DMs use all sorts of posting patterns/orders to help alleviate the problems inherent in the pbp style.

[runhidesurvive]

Oh yeah, I got a 18 on initiative sorry. But yeah, I was readying my action for when they both get in range for me to cast. And yeah they'd both get saves.

[Elysian Blade]

Other one [roll0]

Nobody makes it. :smallbiggrin:

[runhidesurvive]

Well they do eventually. Anyway, I'll roll for duration now and post my command IC.

[roll0]

[Elysian Blade]

Are you going to take their weopens?

[Elysian Blade]

You stop the two guards there is six more upstairs what are your plans?
:smallconfused:

[runhidesurvive]

I'm taking it the six where the ones around the table? And I'll probably wait till some other's come online and see what they have to say, I have three more 1st level spells so I could disable a few.

[Elysian Blade]

fighting six is harder then two. :smallbiggrin:

[runhidesurvive]

True. Ugh, didn't think about the weapons.

[Elysian Blade]

Why don't you just take the key and lock it yourself?

[runhidesurvive]

Isn't someone still drawing?

[Elysian Blade]

Yes :smallsmile:

[runhidesurvive]

Could I perhaps make some check to lock the door? Like a reverse open lock, or disable device?

[Elysian Blade]

Everyone post what your doing in the IC so I know what your doing right now or you can post in the OOC your choice just so I know when I have to move things along. :smallbiggrin:

[Elysian Blade]

Nice psst runhidesurvive but I'm just surprised your not taking any of the of their weopens...its fine by me it just gets harder for you. :smallbiggrin:

[runhidesurvive]

The problem is they could probably just shoot us through the bars now. Plus we have fire cat and warforged get a natural slam attack (I think). We'll just have to roll with it sadly.

[Elysian Blade]

Fine be me. :smallbiggrin:

Waiting on kitty and fey :smallbiggrin:

[BassWalker]

I did post. Cole's going around and makin' the group immune to his Breath Weapon...

When one plans to use people as tools, it's best not to set them on fire :smalltongue:

[Elysian Blade]

I was hoping for something new. :smallbiggrin:

[aabicus]

I'm making a search check on this empty room.

[roll0] +3

[BassWalker]

Bogard, two tips. First, you cannot edit roll code into an existing post, and neither will roll code work if you preview your post. Second, you can put the +3 inside to have that calculated, too (it'd be roll]1d20+3[/roll]).

[aabicus]

So that's the mistake I made. I tried to edit the roll in and thought perhaps the +3 was why it didn't work. Thanks :)

[Elysian Blade]

You see that there is only torches in the wall that's all there is in the dungeon.

[runhidesurvive]

Are the torches fixed into the wall or can we slide them out of a holder or something?

[Elysian Blade]

You can slide them out

[Elysian Blade]

Dont mind this its just for the future. :smallwink:

[roll0] 6
[roll1] 2
[roll2] 1
[roll3] 3
[roll4] 5 -0.5 :smallconfused:
[roll5] 4

[runhidesurvive]

Ominous :P

[Alihandros]

Basswalker, almost tempted to mount Cole on my shoulder

[BassWalker]

Are the guards still in the room? Is there a window? How many doors lead out of the room, discounting the one we just entered through?

Come on, Elysian. Get with the program. Haha. :smallsmile:

[Elysian Blade]

Are the guards still in the room? Is there a window? How many doors lead out of the room, discounting the one we just entered through?

Come on, Elysian. Get with the program. Haha. :smallsmile:

Oh...you wanted that there is only one other door besides your own leading out and the is a small slit in it thats an eyehole for them to see out of and yes the 6 remaining guards are in there there is 3 in fullplate one of them has a greataxe and the other two have longswords. There is one archer left the one with the heavy crossbow and leather armor. Then there is two guards in studded armor and they both have longswords two the ones facing away from your flight of stairs are the greataxe guard in fullplate and another one of the fullplate ones wielding the longsword the remaining guards are on the other side of the table I roll for there spot checks.

Fullplate[roll0]
Normal Guard [roll1]
Archer [roll2]

Lets see if your luck still holds. :smallbiggrin:

Edit: Maybe it doesnt hold anymore.:smallcool:

[runhidesurvive]

Those are some good spot checks :smalleek:

[Elysian Blade]

Those are some good spot checks :smalleek:

I know i am surprised to the archer gets a plus 2 bonus because he is facing the door. :smalleek:
But dont worry I feel you can handle it and if so retreat back down the steps its only 5ft down the stair case so one person can hold it off maybe...

[runhidesurvive]

Does the sneak attack also count spells?

[Elysian Blade]

Does the sneak attack also count spells?

Yes it does. :smallwink:

[runhidesurvive]

Sweet :D. Ok, I need a DC:16 will save from the Archer.

[Kazyan]

Ramiele is also ascending the stairs.

It's probably initiative time. [roll0]

[runhidesurvive]

Oh yeah, and initiative
[roll0]

[Elysian Blade]

Sweet :D. Ok, I need a DC:16 will save from the Archer.

[roll0]

I feel bad about this one. :smalleek:

edit:bad for you and yes you can take that five feet

[runhidesurvive]

Ugh, You're rolling well today at least :P

[Elysian Blade]

Ugh, You're rolling well today at least :P

Thank you thank you (bows) :smallbiggrin:

Maybe you can always try to rush out of the door.

[BassWalker]

Initiative: [roll0]

[Kazyan]

How far away are the guards from me?

[Alihandros]

[roll0]

We going to try for all 3 or hope that they will fall for the same trick as the ones hopefully still locked below?

[Elysian Blade]

How far away are the guards from me?

about ten ft or so.:smallbiggrin:

Alihandros I think runhidesurvive is out of those moves for the rest of the day. :smallcool: and there are six guards left not three those first ones where just facing towards the opening not the other three but now there all are alerted.

[aabicus]

Do I roll for initiative despite being in a separate room?

If so: [roll0]

[Elysian Blade]

its fine if you did it now :smallbiggrin:

[Kazyan]

Whargharbl, a 1? Really?

[Elysian Blade]

I not going to roll a dc save :smallcool: now for the guards turn. :smalleek:

[Elysian Blade]

maximum dmg this is getting bad but I don't think it hit so your okay.

[BassWalker]

It's one lower than my AC, thankfully. If I may make a request, Elysian, could you gather everyone's Initiative rolls and put them in the first post of combat when it starts? Trying to sift through multiple pages in two threads to figure out whose turn it is is not working.

You can do that or everyone can post there own in the IC thread and do that:smallbiggrin:

[runhidesurvive]

I still have two spells left actually :P

[Elysian Blade]

2 vs 6 go for it:smallbiggrin:

[runhidesurvive]

Ok, I think its my turn now. Was I just at the head of the stairs or can I still see the guards?

[Elysian Blade]

You said you wanted to go back down the stairs so five feet into the stair well and I do believe it is your turn. If you want to see the guards they're there now and their trying to come down the steps.:smallbiggrin:

EDIT: And Bogard got a 9 on intiative

[Elysian Blade]

That must suck for you huh?

[runhidesurvive]

Lets see how long it takes for me to actually effect someone with whelm :P

"it worked it finally worked" runhidesurvive screams in joy.

Finally, after taking Greater spell focus with all my feats and buying a headband of +20 Intelligence :P

[Elysian Blade]

[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]
[roll3]
[roll4]
[roll5]

for all the guards

and you missed again so close though.

edit: 2 guards get tangled I let you decide who.

[Elysian Blade]

Okay then that was weird so you made yourself shaken -2 and were skipping rizban so its back to you kazyan. And I'll pick the two normal guards in so there tangled and you have 1 archer and 3 guys in fullplate left that can do damage until the tangle wheres off.

[Kazyan]

Aha, that's more like it. Rolling to confirm critical hit.

Attack: [roll0]
Damage?: [roll1]

[Rizban]

Go ahead and keep skipping me. Without a bow, my character is pretty much useless as anything but an additional target. If you want him to participate rather than just wait for combat to end, drop the archer and get him a bow.

Edit: If you look back, I've made mention of this before.

[BassWalker]

And I've mentioned that unarmed strikes are a thing. :smallannoyed:

[runhidesurvive]

Yeah but AOT from people with actual weapons is not very fun at this point considering I don't think we actually have a healer.

[BassWalker]

There are still two guards downstairs, with weapons and armor. Being ill equipped is hardly an excuse.

[Elysian Blade]

Good point :smallbiggrin:

[Rizban]

And I've mentioned that unarmed strikes are a thing. :smallannoyed:

Yeah, and with Str as a dump stat, I'm not going to send him wading into melee against a guy with a greataxe with a -5 to attack in an attempt to deal 1 damage and potentially die from a single hit in return. No matter how many snarky remarks or irritated smilies you send my way, it's still a stupid idea.

And I optimized entirely around wielding a bow, which I pointed out before I was approved to the game. Until the bow guy drops, I have yet to see a weapon my character can effectively use.

Edit: Nevermind, the crossbow, while useful, isn't an actual "bow" by the rules, so he'll still only be half effective until he gets a real bow.

First I'll like to point out you have 26hp you wont drop from a single bow and hint hint the greataxe guy has 1hp left. and there is a weapons rack in the room I hope you remember that. :smallbiggrin:

[BassWalker]

-5 to hit is better than not attacking at all.
1 damage is better than no damage at all.

Frankly, you went into this knowing that we were starting out with a prison break scene. And, we're still level one. Everything is luck at this point, regardless of you takin' the Point Blank Shot feat.

And to address your edit, "half useful" is better than "sit in the back while two people handle the entire encounter". Er, three people... but I'm not familiar with the Binder, so I'm not exactly sure how the natural weapon functions (if it's only on a charge, ect.). And the Beguiler will run out of spells eventually, but I'm certain that he wouldn't turn away the crossbow.

There you go people. And why pick a paladin of slaughter when you say you can only fight with a bow?

[aabicus]

Could I attempt to seduce the bowman with a diplomacy check? Or even downgrade his unfriendliness to "indifferent"?

Hmm, actually, the 26 hp is a mistake on my part. This was a character originally in another that I reduced in level and forgot to reduce the hp. He should currently have a max of 12 hp. I'd be willing to keep the 26 though. :smalltongue:


-5 to hit is better than not attacking at all.

Frankly, you went into this knowing that we were starting out with a prison break scene. And, we're still level one. Everything is luck at this point, regardless of you takin' the Point Blank Shot feat.Yep, and I wasn't complaining. I was just giving the reason my character wasn't participating in the fight and explaining the situation in which he would join in with the killing. He's very self-serving, and he's not going to run in to nearly certain death if others are handling the situation aptly without his help.

There you go people. And why pick a paladin of slaughter when you say you can only fight with a bow?Ranged Smite + other stuffs. He has Inspire Courage 1/day too, but he didn't think this fight warranted using it, not with the way you've been slaughtering the guards. He'd use it if the fight seemed more dangerous.

[Kazyan]

Amon's horns work outside of a charge; they just do extra damage when charging, enough to be relevant at level 1. And the line of fire is a once-per-six-rounds thing.

[aabicus]

I get a +14 to diplomacy, but I lose -10 for making it a full-round action, and to get him to indifferent I need to make a DC 15...

Looks like I have just under 50% chance of success. I'll take those odds.

UPDATE: Lol, I'm rolling like a champ this campaign. Oh well, was worth a shot.

[Alihandros]

Since I messed up my d20 roll

[roll0]

Ah yes, the reason why I'm not supposed to be in melee :smallsigh:

Dont feel bad I didnt make any good attack rolls except for dmg.

Rizban please take 12 it make me happier :smallbiggrin: If you talk with runhidesurvive maybe you will get something.

And Alihandros you didnt get hurt yet so I say your doing fine. :smallbiggrin:

[runhidesurvive]

Should I take the long bow? The only problem is no ammo, so it'd mostly be useless. The spear might be better for now perhaps.

[Elysian Blade]

I'll let you have 10 arrows a little bit generous :smallbiggrin: whatever you pick your choice.

[runhidesurvive]

Ok, yeah I'll take the Bow then, ranged right now is better than melee. I'll try and get them to you next round Rizban.

[Elysian Blade]

okay so this is stas hp because im nice

fullplate
1hp
10hp
normal one
5hp
5hp
archer
8hp

[aabicus]

I think I have the bowman temporarily distracted, but I'm not sure.

[Elysian Blade]

until his turn.

[BassWalker]

Well, so that this doesn't get held up for any longer than it already has, y'all need to continue on without me. I'm having trouble on my end of things.

[Kazyan]

Oh, crap, is it my turn?

[aabicus]

Rizban, follow Haara. You might be able to get the bow while she...entertains the archer.

[Rizban]

I'd rather him stay where he is for a chance at a longbow that I want than take a risk for a crossbow that's less useful.

[Elysian Blade]

All I have to say haaras plan of action made me question judgement.

[Elysian Blade]

[roll0] fixed

[Rizban]

Frankly, I have very little idea what's going on in this game. I mean, I know we're trying to escape and currently fighting some guards, but it's not very well organized. Is this the same fight we rolled initiative for earlier? Is it a new fight? You told me to go earlier, so I did. I'm assuming the character delayed until acquiring the weapon, which would make it currently my turn in initiative order. So... I'll make an attack now, I suppose.

[aabicus]

Bogard and rizban did you roll int.?

I'm not there; I'm currently having sex with the archer, keeping him out of the fight. But I can roll anyway.

[roll0]

[Rizban]

Assuming the guards are Good, my Smite Good hits.
That nat 20 hits whether he's Good or not, so the crit confirmation is the only attack roll that might matter if they aren't Good aligned.

If guards are Good, then total damage is 22 if the crit hits.
If guards are non-Good, then the crit confirmation roll is 16 and total damage is 19 if the crit hits.

[Elysian Blade]

Instant kill right there good job so that leaves two fullplate guards to fight with until two turns when the other guards get untangled and the archer is distracted.

[Elysian Blade]

Here I just made this quickly you can put yourselfs on it.

[aabicus]

Oh damn! Check out that roll! B)

Where does Haara go on the map, since she's not in the room?

[Elysian Blade]

Oh damn! Check out that roll! B)

I feel I should give him a heart attack or something. Just put it in the gret.

[aabicus]

So...can somebody kill the last guard?

[Elysian Blade]

So...can somebody kill the last guard?

Theres 2 tangle 12seconds left with 5hp a guy in fullplate 1hp and one not hurt yet.

[runhidesurvive]

Just so you know, its not Alihandros's turn. Next time it comes to my post I think I'll add in the initiative list each time cause now it is quite inefficient.

[Alihandros]

I know I had posted out of order. So if you want me to redo that let me know.

[runhidesurvive]

I don't think you posted out of order, I was just showing this here cause I feel like I might have missed someone out of the initative list.

[Elysian Blade]

Kazyan when are you going to move? :smallconfused:

[aabicus]

I'll let you guys in on a little secret...I posted whenever I felt like it. I think Haara went three times in a row. It didn't ruin anything.

We as players just have to take turns dealing damage until the badguys are dead, then move on. If you post and then wait until everyone else has posted once, you can usually post again and won't step on any toes and things still happen.

[Elysian Blade]

Everyone up now.

[runhidesurvive]

Huh? As in the IC or is everyone awake.

[Elysian Blade]

IC hopefully new rule post every 1-2 days or get skipped.

[runhidesurvive]

Ah. Yeah, that would probably help. I guess since I'm here I might as well go.

[Elysian Blade]

I think you need 1 because two are tangled and only ones blocking the stairs.

[runhidesurvive]

Ah, well in that case I guess just take the first one, which would still be a fail.

[Elysian Blade]

So sorry

if crt.
[roll0]


edit wtf dice gods wanted death it seems what to do we need to talk about this. :smallfrown:

[runhidesurvive]

Eh, Just roll the damage. If I go down I go down.

[Elysian Blade]

[roll0]
[roll1]


I be nice one of you teammates can jump in front of it and it becomes nonlethal for the person. :smallbiggrin:


edit so 26 total thats death

[runhidesurvive]

:I Well. That was fast. Well, semi-fast.

[Elysian Blade]

:I Well. That was fast. Well, semi-fast.

Maybe someone take the offer. I didnt see that coming though.

[Elysian Blade]

You can make a new character if you want I didnt mean anyone to die this early the guards are cr1's

[runhidesurvive]

Pffft thats ok. Its the DM's job to make the game a challenge. I'll start making one for if you want to add me back in though.

[Elysian Blade]

Pffft thats ok. Its the DM's job to make the game a challenge. I'll start making one for if you want to add me back in though.

Im fine with that.

[aabicus]

Now that she's unattanded, Haara can look around to free a new prisoner. That way we can get you into the team.

[Elysian Blade]

Maker missed again you do realize you can try either a grapple or try going around him to grab a weapon from the wall.

[Alihandros]

It wouldn't matter sans grapple, as noncombatant makes my melee +0 regardless of what I'm using.

[Elysian Blade]

Just checking
:smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin:

[Alihandros]

Once we get these down, and I grab a xbow, things may be better, but right now, I'm probably the best frontliner we have.

[Elysian Blade]

Do you want a DM Push?

[Elysian Blade]

You feel thumping come up from behind you as the two guards that you thought were locked in the cell behind you charge up the stairs and tries to grab the great axe wielder and kill him.

[roll0] vs. [roll1] + [roll2]

They take him down and is holding him there helpless...

You know what that means right? :smallconfused::smallbiggrin:

[aabicus]

Shouldn't that be in IC?

[Elysian Blade]

Damn second time that happened this week I change it now.:smallsigh:

[Alihandros]

So is this kind of a solo game now? Since it seems no-one else has posted in almost a week plus.

[runhidesurvive]

Sorry, its been quite busy for me as its almost Christmas. I've not really been able to get to a computer for much time.

[Elysian Blade]

Dont worry making will get rich than and I going to make recruitment happen so we get more people soon but you know that gives you more xp since npc dont get any. :smallbiggrin:

[Elysian Blade]

You find you crossbow and grabs 60 bolts and find you ink and quills with a bag of 30gp.

[Alihandros]

Can I add some parchment to that too I forgot that one :smalleek:

[aabicus]

Ive been present but not posting because Haara wasn't part of the fight. Now that its over she can meet back up with Maker and whoever else.

[Elysian Blade]

Yes you can add parchment to that as for haara thats fine but dont do to many sexual favors in the future or I start with disease.

Recruitment so far gives us about two more guys.

[aabicus]

Yes you can add parchment to that as for haara thats fine but dont do to many sexual favors in the future or I start with disease.

I mean, okay, but she's a prostitute. That's like her one skill.

Also I gave her a high Fortitude and even Vow of Purity so that she'd be as protected against disease as a Lvl 1 character can get.

[Elysian Blade]

I mean, okay, but she's a prostitute. That's like her one skill.

Okay I guess

[Alihandros]

So long as you aren't expecting me to walk around like Belkar at the end of comic 377, I'm ok with that. Or actually I may be convinced of that too :smallcool:

[aabicus]

Are we having a time skip? Enough for a Profession check to scramble up some money?

[Elysian Blade]

No you ran out of a city and now on a road that leads to the forest.

[dethkruzer]

Uh... Hi.

I (apparently) got accepted into the game as an Orc Teramach. I'll add links to my sheet and the class once I get home.

in the meantime, assuming the GM is okay with it, could someone perhaps give me a quick rundown of what is/has happened, along with any other useful tidbits of info. Just to save myself from what? 15 pages of backlog?

[Alihandros]

We broke out of jail in the human capital, we were there for the transgression of being not human. During the breakout, we lost many of our fellow escapees. Managed to get out of the city and are now in the woods to........
