Yes technically, but it would make little sense for them to target him. From there perspective he is out of the fight and quite possibly dead. I won't target downed PCs unless I have a compelling reason to do so. I'd probably say he has cover to really, even though chariots do not seem to provide cover by the vehicle rules. I've been treating it like they provide ranged cover, but not close up, since a foe can simply lean over, etc.
And no the leader is the half orc at J4, R4 is the spearman who just threw one of his spears.

DM Carpe |

Yes, but please don't hesitate to roll them yourself it'll often prompt me. I'll certainly roll the basics like when you encounter a new creature, etc., unless as in this case its basically a real world animal.

I'm seeing an irony with my character emerging. I hadn't really designed him as a primary healer, although that seems to be what he's doing a lot of.
Now that Staryth has dropped unconscious, the raging front line fighter is the only one with cure light wounds at his disposal. :/
Anyway...
@Vance: Enjoy your flanking bonus.
@Staryth: Are you okay with being incapacitated temporarily? It sucks I know, but would it be worth me dropping out of rage (and thus suffer fatigue) to heal you?

I'm perfectly okay with it. Obviously I'm a little worry about the stablization checks, but just beat the clock if I keep rolling badly and we're good. :)

Ormiz |

Sorry guys, I am on dodgy mobile Internet until after easter. Posts may be a bit shorter than normal. DM Carpe... Did you see my post about the throw? Also realized in the stupid coast I have a move of 20 if that makes a difference.
Gruinard, mm happy to have Ormiz pick up CLW formula, then he can start making process as needed. Expensive, but means you can relax a little.

DM Carpe |

Sorry for the delay guys, busy weekend for me as I work in a bar and its a bank holiday here in England - can't afford to turn down all the extra hours I'm getting :p
Ormiz, I applied your damage forgetting about the saves so I'll go ahead and roll them and figure out where we stand.

Grimward Brack |

Our poor dice rolling isn't helping matters. :/
@DM Carpe: It just occurred to me, are the vultures doing 1d6+1 damage or 1d6+2 damage? It seems to have changed. (Although either way Grimward's action still stands)

DM Carpe |

Blah, sorry guys realize I need to prod things along here, but I've just run my first run twenty two miles - practicing for a marathon - and I'm broken. I should be able to get things moving tomorrow morning.

DM Carpe |

Lol, thanks Staryth, I don't think it will be for a while, was planning on a half marathon this year full next. This was a run for a week go, oooh, this is easy I wonder if I can do a full marathon already, hey aren't I awesome, oh god why can't I move, aaaarrrgggg cramp egods scenario. In short I am an idiot :)

Well, you're braver than me. :)

200 feet - all of which is difficult terrain - will take 20 rounds to traverse at 20 foot speed, and 14 rounds at 30 foot speed. With a Will save every round and Gwen's +0 Will save, it is almost statistically impossible to make it - even if the DC is 1 or 2. If it is DC 10, the lowest normal DC, there is a 45% chance to fail. Trying to survive 20 rounds is a 0.000000035% chance.

DM Carpe |

I can see why you would think that, but I would not do that to you guys lol. You really don't know much about the effects yet so don't assume too much - I'm a tough DM, but I do want you guys to survive!
Also I think you are forgetting to account for double moving Gwen, 200 divided by 20 is 10.

Grimward Brack |

I must admit, the odds look pretty bad to me as well (although I hadn't done anywhere near your level of calculations Gwen. Ouch, depressing numbers) but we can improve our odds a little with a bit of prep.

Grimward Brack |

Actually, we do now. Criss had 100ft of silk rope all along. :)
Not that it matters too much, DM Carpe says that we can't stretch it all the way across though. It'll just get snagged.

DM Carpe |

I'll note that you guys can always head back and take the next valley over and try to cut back across later if you wish. It would cost you time, but then you don't have a hard deadline or anything.

Grimward Brack |

Just thought I'd inform everyone now, I'm going on holiday to Europe so I'm unsure how regular my posts will be. I'm flying out to the UK this Friday.
As I say, I'm HOPING it won't delay my posts too much, but no guarantees.
Will post again before I leave.

Grimward Brack |

I vote Brack decides :)
Yep, leave the planning to the intelligence 8 half-orc. That won't turn out badly at all. lol
...
Facepalm.
Relax, there's still 3 days to go before I leave. Provided we don't waste too much time, it shouldn't be an issue.

Grimward Brack |

If by nice you mean 5 degree days, then sure. :)
We just went through the hottest summer on record (we had a 45 degree day!) down here in Sydney.
Seriously though, yeah, I saw on the news how much snow the UK took. Ouch.

Ormiz |

Alright, given the situation Ormiz has to be assuming that he isn't going to be awake next round.
He is not able to get out of the zone (15ft of rope, 30ft to go, can't drag everyone).
I am considering having him try to wake everyone.
The easy way to do that sounds like a minimal bomb blast, aiming at doing 1 splash to as many people as possible, and probably catching Ormiz himself again.
The hope would be that being set on fire would give them the impetus to get up, especially if combined with some kicking and screaming.
is it possible to 'dial down' a bomb blast like this? Can a large number of victi... allies be caught in the radius?

DM Carpe |

Yes I'd say so Ormiz, if you can do more damage via your intellect I certainly don't see why you could not decline to do so. An d yes Grimward's save really should have been +6 my bad.
