Rise of the Runelords OOC

[Ghostfoot]

I'll move you down some time tomorrow, with Lebwen in the front (dancing lights) Adalbert in the back (everburning torch) and everyone else in between, including three goblins. If you want to change this arrangement or do anything else before you descend, let me know before that time.

I'm good to go.

Also, a heads up that the next week or so is going to be quite hectic for me. I should be able to manage brief posts but unlikely anything complex

[CasualViking]

Spoils of war stance is up: Heal 4 hp 1/round if you hit an enemy while within 30' of Lizuga.

[CasualViking]

DrK, i'm pretty sure there are TWO portculli between Justin and Lizuga.

[CasualViking]

Lizuga's attack (1d20+7)[23], damage (1d12+4)[16]

[CasualViking]

Belay that, I have to use a shield bash, AC 22, damage (1d4+4)[6]

[Erloas]

Was looking over my sheet to decide what I wanted to do and realized I still had it recorded at 6hp. I'm pretty sure I just missed recording some healing, but would like to verify my life total before deciding to go forward rather than staying back.

Perform (Wind): (1d20+3)[15]

That's a success, on both counts.

By my count: 19/26.

Remind me to put a point into Perform (Wind) when we level up. It's been a great substitute for a Remove Fear spell even though I feel like getting the spell as well. These creatures seem to be focussed on fear.

And if we are dealing with Runelords, I assume emotion descriptor spells and abilities will be a focus.

[CasualViking]

Lizuga makes room for Lebwen and heals him for 9 points.

[DrK]

Tight space this one. Shall we retreat into the main room and then see if they will follow

Feels like a good move to me. Iris will stay as is (ie holding up the first portcullis) for her full action this round.

[Spore]

Did....did I just glitch the DM? This sounds like the type of game situation where a character would go out of bounds and drop into the endless void. As soon as Adalbert realizes he is a hindrance rather than a help he drops prone of course.

I'd argue that I am technically not moving through the hound's square as you can move diagonally you're the DM and this is your ruling.

Corners are different I think - I don’t believe you can diagonally move around a corner

[Erloas]

I don't think my plan was so much bold, as "someone has to be up front" and there really just isn't much for options or room.
I can't see a situation where she comes to us and there isn't exactly any way around.

I can try to keep attacking the hound, though it's got a fair amount of HP and a strong attack, or I can pull back. Not exactly much room to move back either, but I'll see what the team wants to do before I take my action.

You can't move diagonally past a corner (even by taking a 5-foot step).

Yep, thet's them corners for you.

[Spore]

Concentration: (1d20+6)[7], if an AoO hits, (1d20+6)[14]

[u-b]

That's a failure. The spell fizzles and has no effect other than wasting that scroll. This does not provoke AoOs.

[DrK]

Is there any spaces Justin can get into? From the map it looks the quarters are just too tight?

[u-b]

Well, Lizuga's squozen into the alcove at N40, so don't extend much into N41. Adalbert left N42 for O41, where he's prone along with Lebwen. Also, there is still a lowered portcullis between N41 and O41. This means Justin can:
1. Move to N41 and act there normally (e.g. using reach).
2. Move to N42 and stay there squeesing.
3. Lift the portcullis off the ground and get to the other side, but don't do much of anything there. You have two rounds worth of actions and breakdown would seem like the following: move to N41, standard to lift it off ground as Justin's not strong enough to lift it overhead, standard to crawl under it all while holding it as it is somewhat problematic, move to stand up (this provokes, but only from the hound, not across the corner). There you can leave the portcullis held off ground (occupying one hand) or let it down. As long as no one stands up you won't be considered squeezing (bad footing tops).

Also, I've made my mind about what kind of actions a revived character has the round he's revived. It would be one standard, just like sub-round summoning. So, Lebwen can act at 2/26 hp (Lizuga's attack misses because she's shaken).

Ideally I'm going to drop this portcullis and start shooting that hound, but if you need me to keep holding it up sing out.

[DrK]

Now we are all on the right side of a portcullis shall we drop it keep ourselves safe?
Is it possible with 10ft reach to stab through the portcullis? If so whats the penalty?

Also - Happy New Year!

Adalbert is still prone on the other side (and it seems is not hurrying back ). You can attack with reach weapon, but will have penalty for cover. Not sure about your special fancy reach, choose yourself how you see fit.

[Spore]

Adalbert is still prone on the other side (and it seems is not hurrying back ).

I got a major problem. If I stand up I'll provoke an AoO with +4 for being prone. If I leave crouching I provoke an AoO. Only one thing can save me, that is "forced movement" aka someone pulling me out.

[Ghostfoot]

If I leave crouching I provoke an AoO.

Acrobatics +5 DC to move 5ft while prone & avoid AoO...not great but better than nothing?

[u-b]

Sorry, I haven't made myself clear. You are not just frightened. You are panicked. This means, you drop stuff and do your best to facilitate your personal escape. This might include raising the portcullis for yourself or slipping through while the portcullis is for any reason raised. This does not include picking up stuff not essential for your escape or caring for the others, so Lebwen, most likely, stays. I'm not outright botting you because there still are possibilities, as Adalbert's example shows, so we'll see how it goes.

Also, Adalbert did not manage to slip through this time.

[Erloas]

Just so everyone knows, I'm still around, just not much to do but lay on the ground.

that's what I was going to ask. Well, good luck NOT decomposing.

Play dead, maybe the Yeth hound will leave you alone.....

[Spore]

So are you guys back too?

And.... back! Glad the forums are now back.
