I was hoping to not actually tell people where to stand.
Connor, Rory, Roderick - at the "campsite" in the center of the moved boulders. "Everyone" looks like they are there due to astral constructs wearing Alys' and Adran's clothes (covered in mud or using more ectoplasm to color the constructs). If required to retrieve the "magic items" from the longboat for the lizardmen, Connor would make an astral construct in front of everybody.
Alys, Adran, possibly Elara - out in the jungle. Their #1 priority would be to take out the lizardmen's snipers. Hero would then tell Connor when to start the attack, or Connor would tell Hero to tell the others to start the attack.
Rory acts as leader, Roderick acts as trigger for bombs set off to kill the lizardmen in "kill zones" set up just outside the boulders. Connor springs astral constructs from covered foxholes outside the boulders. Connor drops into a protected foxhole next to a boulder or on top of a boulder to keep away from the lizardmen. Elara goes wild.
So give a few more days to hear from the others before I start re-arranging the map and see if everyone (including mdt) agree with it.
That sounds okay. Hopefully we don't spread the party out too bad. We have to assume they have their own psions in play.
What we saw in the anti-magic, anti-psionic ruins were just muscle. Arrogant muscle. They didn't appear to be suffering from a lack of psionic power. So now that we have our advantage back all we should have to worry about is non-psionic muscle. If the lizardmen haven't adapted to magical items.
Yes, but bear in mind that muscle was likely just there because of anti-psionics. With that no longer in play there's a chance that is no longer true so we should keep it in mind.
GM just needs to know what your plan is. He already has his plan. :)
Helps to keep me honest if their plan is figured up first. Part of waht took me so long to get the map up was figuring out their plan.
I put my pawn into a position where she has the two southern most sniper spots in close range.
Plan is to get'em
"Making the map" later today, if no other changes, suggestions, or rude remarks. ;) Follow-up IC.
Ah, mdt, can you make a map where the boulders and longboat are moveable?
Sorry, forgot to respond to this.
I can't make the stuff on the map moveable, but I've put a new ship on and some rocks you can move. Just use a yellow box to cover up the things you move.
poke poke, this thing on?
Sorry, hard weekend. Now to get to work...
yep ready to get em.
Waiting on Roderick, Rory, and Elara.
Did we lose Elara?
Swapping Mindpower?
Dimension Swap - isn't that one of your powers?
And I was hoping that all this conversation would draw our other members back!
No, the power is power level 2 and gifted blades gain 2nd level powers on class level 7.
Will post tommorrow. Lots going on on my end. Hopefully next week will see m revived.
No, the power is power level 2 and gifted blades gain 2nd level powers on class level 7.
Connor gave you a Power Stone with Dimension Swap in it. You can use a power stone with a higher-level power, you just "If she meets both requirements but her own level is lower than the power stone’s manifester level, she has to make a manifester level check (1d20 + manifester level), against a DC equal to the power stone’s manifester level +1, to manifest the power successfully." It was part of the "make this quick before Selvan leaves" crafting.
So DC (15+2+1=18)?
Oh, yeah I lost track of all those things somewhere. Sorry.
Alright, then I have that.
I've sent PMs to the 3 who haven't posted. If I don't get answers by Saturday we'll go on without them. Otherwise the game will likely sputter out completely
Sounds good. Thanks for staying dedicated as a GM.
Hi, sorry I'm still here. Updates weren't showing for this game for me for some reason. I'll get something up tonight as I'm busy at work today.
Thanks for the effort, mdt.
My cable modem went out on Wednesday, 07 Oct, and the cable guy isn't scheduled to be at my house until Monday, 12 Oct. So I'm on the laptop with the Mi-Fi. I can do one-liners, but complicated responses might time out on me again. I'm still here!
*shakes fist at Time-Warner Cable and their "plan" to upgrade their Internet capability and thus make all "old" cable modems obsolete, like mine. And then not take responsibility for it!*
I'm here. A bit behind on what's been happening recently though.
Who needs killin'?
So they came by ship. Interesting.
Worst-case scenario. Will adjust plan as needed.
Cable guy supposed to come to my house this afternoon, so I'll try to post IC tonight or tomorrow.
Very sorry about this, Time-Warner Cable is to blame, I am still on very thin Wi-Fi. Will try to post tonight.
Time-Warner accepted additional sacrifices and now my high-speed Internet is back!
Any objections to sending the meat into their boat?
If they're good on shields and action to kill.
Same with Rory, Roderick, and Alys on the beach. Connor can command the astral constructs to attack, and that should give 1-2 rounds of distraction.
Rory or Roderick can "say the word"!
Sounds fine.
I assumed we were going to have some sort of signal or something. Are we waiting on anything at this point. Is someone going to the boat?
The GM is waiting for someone to say 'I go over' or 'We do not agree to that' or 'We attack!'.
Alrighty, shall we start the TPK?
Don't be so negative, we are at a level where we there are feasible scenarios of fighting superior numbers without being wiped out.
I will reserve my response until after combat.
Ok, we have two to take out the ones on the boat, and two to take out the ones on the beach. Connor provides cannon fodder with his astral constructs.
Adran has Hero to tell him "Go". Just have Rory say the word. And, by the way, Entangling Debris has a 40-ft radius, so Rory and Roderick, get out of the way. The duration is Concentration, up to 1 min./lvl., which is what Connor is going to do with the astral constructs "on autopilot".
Surprise Round
Entangling Debris on the lizards on the beach
Astral Constructs on beach to fight lizardmen (flying attacks above the Entangling Debris)
two little Astral Constructs on the outer hull of the ship, one for each 1st person they can attack
Astral Construct shark in the water to attack anyone trying to get from the ship to the beach, or vice versa
I saw an opportunity and took it. Seemed a good way to tie up the sniper anyways.
Hey can't say I disagree with it. May as well been a solid hit to someone's back.
Seriously hoping you actually damaged her though.
Fun fact: Once me and roderick have both acted and threatening we will be flanking the lizardman without needing to move. Roderick will be getting a +3 bonus rather than a +2.
Honestly not sure how a lot of my abilities affect constructs. They're not strictly mind affecting nor morale.
It's also sad I didn't have my weapon out already so I could do something more significant. But I honestly couldn't buy the captain having his big sword out during negotiations while surrounded by armed men already.
They don't affect constructs, they have no minds, and no emotions.
Feels good to hit something; let's hope I've actually chosen the right thing to hit.
You probably succeeded at sundering the gun anyway. Depends on their CMD.
maybe.
No, sorry, the sunder didn't work. CMD is a bit higher than 20.
You did get an AoO on him (And him on you from the sunder if you don't have improved sunder). Do you?
I'll do the AoO at the time Adran's action comes up.
Unless you were going to use the AoO for the sunder? I wasn't sure.
I think that's what he was going for. Sundering to interrupt the sniper blithely turning around and shooting at me some hundred feet off.
The strix would get an AoO in turn if he doesn't have imp. sunder.
So Order of actions would be.
Strix attempts ranged attack.
AoO triggers. Adran decides to sunder.
AoO triggers. Strix gets to attack first if threatening (like with a melee weapon or somesuch).
Strix attack resolves apply penalty to combat amneuver from strix damage.
Sunder resolves if not interrupted.
Ranged attack resolves if not interrupted.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I wasn't sure, he didn't specify if it was the AoO or not. Just need a confirmation from Adran.
Tark does has the correct order though. I hate AoO's spawning more AoO's. I've actually had it go five deep in a game, thanks to feats and reach and such.
Only five?
Never go mythic. I've got a guy in my game right now who can get caught in an infinite AoO loop if he met his mirror.
