I second Rilee's plan.
Works for me.
Seeing as all of you are over in Absalom, I assumed a second announcement here would be redundant. However, if you guys all get your combat actions posted for round 1, I'll advance as soon as I can.
I think I'll hold my action at this point. That's a lot of damage for one kobold.
@Thron: I think everyone has either acted or declined to act.
Ya. Soon as I can I will update, things have been a bit busy here in the household/family. Grandmas is continuing to deteriorate.
Sorry to hear that...
:(
Yeah. Best wishes and prayers with you and your family.
My grandmaw passed away last night. I will post as able.
Where my players at?
Heya! I flew home yesterday. Still on the busy side, but not as much. I should be back to regular posting now.
Welcome back!
Lurking over on Roll20 this evening.
I just realized that Olympus should be in flanking position with Zoli. There should be an extra +2 bonus for their attacks.
I've updated our handy dandy loot tracker with the kobold's stuff. The redcaps didn't have any loot, did they? Anything else that's missing?
(And Rilee, I think we just need if you're acting or holding this round.)
Been busy. Will post by tonight.
Anyone around tonight?
I'm on Roll20
Gotta go tend to some important errands. Will update either when I get home or first thing in the morning.
Lurking, but on iPad, so no ping. Be patient if I don't reply quick.
Yikes!
I'm going to wait for Olympus to attack and (hopefully) pop some images before I attack.
Can y'all get out of range of Galenmir? If so, maybe Eugeni can help with these two casters (at least popping mirror images) while the dino tussles with the giant.
I don't think Eugeni can get out of reach, so he's probably dying next round. I'm worried if we wait a round, Olympus will also die and you won't be able to flee so we can regroup, reincarnate Eugeni, and try this again.
We stick around, we may get wiped.
Wow, do yall think we're in that severe of a spot? Any way to disarm the giant? Or blind it? Or cast something vs his Reflex or Will that'll mess with him?
Can Eugeni take a withdraw action to get away from him (via airwalk)?
It's too bad--I'm probably better able to deal with him in melee (especially with all my current buffs). I could ride Olympus back over, I suppose, but I'm nervous to leave two casters unattended too.
What do yall think?
I'm getting bad feeling about this fight.
I have basically a hail Mary that has a very low probability of working, but I could try it.
I can escape in two turns, but I'd like to take you all with me. That said, I'd keep hammering at these goobers for this turn. I also have a Hail Mary.
Withdraw only protects from the first square you move out of, and I'm sure he has at least 10' reach. I should have moved back more than a 5' step last round, but I was overconfident apparently.
I'm just gonna try to kill him, tyring to save myself is a waste of actions. See you guys on the other side of the wheel.
For this Thanksgiving, with my final Level 5 spell, I'm officially enacting Setsu's Escape.
@Rilee: I would have Olypmus book it out of there. Head toward the tunnels. One more hit, and he'll be pining for the fjords. I also advise helping Eugeni retreat. Blindness is the bane of archers.
@Zoli: I would full-round attack that one llama you're currently fighting before Olympus retreats.
Can I full attack if my mount's moving? I think if it moves > 5' I only get a standard.
The fog of war is at play on the map for me, but I'm not sure why we need to flee now.
How many giants are left here? With how big a hit point bar?
I think Olympus and I can probably drop at a lamia this round, if my full attack (posted above) holds...and especially if I can goad one into attacking me so I can parry/riposte.
If you full-round attack before Olympus moves, then there should be no issue.
As for retreating, Eugeni is blinded, which basically takes him out of the battle. I suppose he could keep attack based on the fact that the llamas haven't moved (I think), but that's a 50% miss chance. If Rilee could adjust his aim or something... If Big E was still able to shoot without such a big penalty, then I'd say go for it. Additionally, Olympus is one good hit away from dropping, and the llamas are clearly focused on killing him.
I'm fighting one giant. To my knowledge, Conna, the three ogres, and Mokmurian are the only other giants that we know are on this level.
I just realized something: Zoli, you should be getting a +1 for a height advantage since you're mounted.
I'll post next, since I can try to dispel the blindness on Eugeni. If I can get rid of it, we may not need to bug out. (Though I'm still risking Olympus; he can't be hit on less than a 20, but one more will drop him).
Lurking, my poor, poor players...
Hey, I hope those of yall who celebrate Thanksgiving had a good one.
I think Rilee and Eugeni are up now, yes?
I was waiting on Eugeni, to see if he drops the most injured one before deciding on what to do.
Maybe Thron can confirm when able, but I was assuming Olympus took a 5' "step" to get into reach of the injured one. In that case, Zoli's attacks take down the hurt one first and then remaining ones (if any) will be applied to the last remaining one.
@Thron: Is it possible to convince Conna to fight back against the ogres with a Diplomacy check? That is what I would like to do next round, and you have hinted that it is possible, but I just want to be absolutely certain so I don't waste a turn.
Do it!
@Gyr: I'd love to give it a try, but I don't think it's entirely fair if I waste a turn in such a tense battle trying to accomplish something that has no hope of succeeding. Hence I'm trying to confirm with Thron that what I am attempting to do is worth bothering to try at all.
It would definitely be a potential option to try.
Are we waiting on someone?
Eugeni, and weren't u gonna try a diplomacy check?
I can't speak Giant until I cast Tongues next turn. Hence why I asked; I'm waiting for the next round.
Lurkin. Anybody around?
@Thron: I am. Wanna wrap up my segment of this trainwreck?
Lurking
Hey team, we need a VOTE:
Thron says he's happy to retroactively use the Background Skills variant rule...if we unanimously want it.
Whaddaya say? Wanna be more skillful?
I vote AYE.
____________
EDIT: I've updated the Loot Tracker. I'd like to take one +2 ring. Anyone else want the other one? Or want my +1 ring that I'll be trading in?
I don't have a Ring o Prot so I'll take your old one. I'm fine with having more skills, sure.
Rilee and Setsu, ya want some more skill points?
Sure!
More skill points is always nice. We're a little light on those in this particular party.
Cool, background skills for EVERYBODY! Thron, should we add them now, or wait til we level?
BTW, I'm lurking briefly while I post.
When u lvl
