Elven team in Campaign Elves vs Dwarves -- Dwarves and Gnomes Keep Out
Game Master Chainmail

Thats because Seltyn is Gandalf in disguise! Bastard! We can't be all cool like you with your fancy white robes and pointy hat! D:

WAIT A SECOND that means Talon is Legolas.... ( T.T)/ I'm sensing a pattern here.

( >.<:) I better not be GIMLI!

<-- Ring Wraith (reformed)

Hush you your the witch king after he joined the good guys :p

I mean come on the guy was packing some serious power. Magic sword and a big mace. Totally Azlain there. Ringwraiths were chumps in comparison :)

I refuse to be a LOTR character!!! lol

Hurray for Thalas not drowning! Go Azlain!!!!!

The Witch King of Angmar got done in by a freakin' hobbit tag-teaming with an untrained fighter with a broken arm. "Chump" doesn't begin to describe it.

LOL!

The ringwraiths got drowned by a bunch of river horses and they're afraid of torches.... Lol

At least it took a tag team to beat the witch king. He still beat gandalf by making his staff explode, killed king theodin and beat up the shield maiden who eventually stabbed him in the face. :)

The ringwraiths stabbed some pillows, killed the 80 yearold gate keeper, it took 9 of them to eventually stab a single hobbit. :)

Witch king wins~ :D

Such mismatches play better in fiction than in games, as we can see here!

I'm going to get out my big old nerd-peen here...

The Witch King was a ring-wraith. He was the one who stabbed Frodo at Weathertop.

(Bonus nerd trivia, Weathertop used to be the fortress of Aman-Sul. It was sacked and destroyed by the Witch King about 1500 years before Frodo was stabbed there)

I don't think that particular point was under contention?

Ringwraiths were chumps in comparison :)

I was mostly replying to this ^

Guess I read into it that Ringwraiths were something else than the Witch King, and rather chump-like. :)

All of the "nine rings made for men"-bearers were ringwraiths, yes. We're saying that the Witchking died like a chump.

That's my only real complaint with the movies. In the books, the sword Merry uses to stab the Witchking was found in the Barrow-Downs, the graves of the Dunedain buried with their weapons enchanted specifically to defeat the Witchking - which is why Merry was able to pierce the Witchking's sorcerous protections and allow Eowyn to deliver the killing blow. None of that was shown in the movies, which strains credulity for why he hadn't been earlier defeated if any old weapon could've done so.

That was one conceal roll I wanted to do again!

If it might suggest something. Get on the boat, leave Talon for fish bait and then run the hell away. He was always going to go in a fight. That he is sacrificed to let the rest of you survive it is his style, and damn it you all trying to get me out of the water is going to get you killed.

Azlain and I are trying to save ourselves at this point... and even that's not working out very well!

Do not die my friends the fight against evil needs you!! fish form or not. lol

The problem is that we can't get away.

Doh! If I could have shot it I would have lol! I thought that when you said it moved to be at the stern of the ship that I couldn't see it to shoot it. That was why he abandoned the ballista and tried to save the others in the lull of not having something to shoot.

My mistake :(

I pointed out it had cover to make it a tough shot. Windfavor would have hit it except for the 20% conceal.

Sorry to imply false hope Thalas is @-5

I miss the old haste and the extra standard action you got. XD i'd have started reloading this round but I have two full rounds ahead of me to get it loaded...

All I had was a sword when he woke up, no bow, no armor and a massive siege weapon is my only recourse for damage dealing....

:( Wil is having a bad day. He also was following Seltyn's order/saw that the creature. Had a hold of thalas so pulling on the rope for Azlain wouldn't have done much good if we wanted to recover Thalas... :(

I can grab thalas. I was below him when he got knocked out. if i grab him with one arm and you guys pull the rope, we can both make it out next round

Can someone please kill that jackass with the garrote?

Ok guys I MAY be busy for the weekend and MIGHT not be able to post I'll Monday. If I have not posted by tomorrow then I will not post until Monday.

Not that it is likely to make's a difference at this point in the fight but I wanted to give you all and CM a heads up.

Okay I'm confused.

So azlain is no longer going to try and save thalas and I'm not loading the ballista?

I see what actions were stated for me or did I miss a whole new round somehow?

It takes two to reload or two full rounds. I had Wil pull Azlain in. Let me know if you'd rather start the reload.

Azlain would not have allowed himself to be pulled up without having ahold of Thalas.

Thalas passed out above azlain, he'd have basically fallen right on him. Should have been pretty easy for Azlain to grab him.

Thalas was grabbed by the Deep One. Rather than swim back, you can attempt to break him free.

Ok, how should I do that?

Oh my bad I looked at the ballista in the core book about the reload times I see where you posted it now. So your having it be two people then. Fair enough, I guess I would be helping whoever I could get onboard~

Acrobatics or CM (like Web) check. Acrobatics needed to avoid tentacles (AoOs)

I had you withdraw without provoking.

Acro: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Grab Thalas (Touch attack? CMD check?): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Wil: Forget the ballista. It's on the wrong end of the boat. Let's get some bows in some hands and take advantage of those extra attacks while we can. If you have no bow, get Talon on his feet, first, then take Windfavor's or grab your own, whichever's quicker.

Azlain: If it's your CMB vs. the monster's CMD, you're going to lose. Get One-shot from Thalas (I think he has it, or do you?), and get back on the boat. Your good checks should allow you to do that much.

The only way to save Thalas is to kill the deep one before it swims away with him. We can't wrestle it.

We'll deal with our other problems once it's dead.

JMO

Yikes, I am at just 5 con. That's significantly lower than I might like. Does mean I can play the stereotypical elf though. So, where is Oneshot, and can I please use her for a moment?

*HIM*

Really? I always thought of oneshot as a female voice in the storm.

hmm I am not sure now.

I had Oneshot, but after a round of unconciousness as well as dying I'm honestly not surethat I still would. Let's say "yes" and claim I had a literal death-grip on it! (or Azlain took it from my corpse)

I'm so confused...

GM, can I get an update as to our situation?

Sea creature is pursuing ship.
Azlain moved inside with Thalas

Ok, so I got him. Awesome! Is he dead?

Not anymore.

Healing Talon = Good thing :) More shooters up and at em!

I think you may still have it as it sounded like you weren't dead for long. :( Hopefully thats the case. xD

If not hopefully Oneshot floats. =(

Assuming it floats Suny will be able to get it. (^_^)

Okay, that could have better and could have been worse. For allowing the Trojan horses aboard undetected, things turned out quite well. The perceptive sea captain kept the assassinations to a minimum.

How is level-ing up handled in this game?

hit points =(hd/2)+1

Note to self: memorize Lesser Restoration twice tomorrow morning!

Don't forget Gentle Repose for Elorin.

4th level stat point went into Wisdom. No more Will save penalty :)

4th level Feat is Toughness

Sorry for getting you killed Thalas, I hadn't expected that at all. :/

Level Up Stats

Ability Increase: Cha +1 = 17

Skill Points - 3 2+1 For Favored Class

HP 4+1+1 = 6

New HP total = 29/29

New Class Abilities:

Channel Positive Energy

Smite Evil 2/Day

Lay on Hands per day increases to (7/Day) From (6/Day)
Lay on Hands now Cures 2d6 (3d6 with Necklace)

@Chainmail Is it okay to change my current Mercy: Fatigue to something else as I get the Fatigue mercy from the necklace as well? Just thought I'd ask. :)

I will get Wil updated here shortly. :) The above is mainly for me as I have been very forgetful of fully updating my characters as of late... blargh!
