Well, this plan fell apart quickly. Only one round of precasting prior to engaging instead of two. No crowd control on the kobolds, so no access to the bridges. No enlarge so I can't jump across or dispatch the obvious threat on the left bridge. And the satyr is countered by one kobold beating a drum that we can't seem to get at range. Not as bad as the lighted glaive incident at least.
Maybe I need some cheese to go with my 'wine'
I cannot use sleep again without hitting allies. Also, those who made the save the first time are now immune to the effect. The other spells are language dependent and cannot be used.
I'm not sure why actions were taken to attack sleeping enemies instead of those who were aware and would logically try to awaken others. I"m also not sure why we're savaging kobolds who could be noncombatants (there were women, children and eggs in the crowd).
I'm honestly not sure that such massive combats work well in a situation where people cannot talk face to face to point out little problems and line of sight issues. I'm not saying that as a slight against anyone, especially you Oberon. You've done a lot already with trying to clean things up. I"m just not sure this format works well long term.
I have to assume anyone with a k designator will have an AoO if I move past them. According to the rules you cannot enter a hostile square, so there is no way to force our way through active kobolds.
I guess the sleep the noncombatants so we can quickly force our way across a bridge was one of those plans that works well in theory, but not in practice. It shows why counter terrorism operations are hard with no well defined 'bad guys'. I also wasn't planning on mass kobold genocide.

The way I read the Satyr's entry, the pipes are separate to the At Will Spell-like Abilities. So you should be able to cast Sleep as a Spell-like ability (DC 15) even on the same targets as his pipes. Satyrs are awesome.
Whilst this has given me a lot of fun, now that I am working full time again I just feel tired. I had been off work for nine months with a back injury,mand during this time I really enjoyed these PbP games to fill in the hours and keep my brain active. I agree with you about the larger combats - real life gaming would have a lot more discussion happening during the turns. No offence taken.

Can Jobo and Drakr work together to clear a pathway quickly?
Jobo slash out 10' ahead of him, then Drakr move into that space and clear another 10', and Jobo move forward to repeat the process.
Yes, I agree with you on the regular sleep spell. But there as so many of them, it will just be a chance to fall down and their neighbor wakes them up the next round from a kick. I'll try it on whoever is left after the fear spell. The sleep probably won't go Off since it's a full round cast that can be interrupted. But that means those hits won't be aimed at us at least.
I am aware of that. I wanted to try the fear first because that will affect more of them. I can only put four to sleep at a time, max. That ties up 8 of them, max.
I will order Mr. Bowler to do that next round, but the fighters seemed to want to advance forward. Fear makes the kobolds run away, which would clear a path.
My apologies.
Yet another week and weekend has passed and I cannot find the time to make a GM post.
I feel I should resign this position. I'm sorry to do this to you.
I figure it is better to tell you I can't complete this rather than leave you wondering indefinitely.
if you want to recruit a new GM that is fine, I'll pass on my notes and the game.
I'm very sorry.
