Just a reminder, if your characters make a wish for something I can do with magic (burning hands or mage armor) my caster level increases.
Everybody gets one wish per in game day, so use them wisely.
[mr. burns] Yes... light the gunpowder-filled tube on fire... good... [/mr. burns]
Thurgood, step to either H,20 or H,22 and my burning hands should be able to hit all 3 goblins and miss you.
Be sure to wish for it though, it'll double my potential damage
We sure that shooting fire into a room with a bunch of goblins holding explosives is a good idea? Or should we just stab them all?
Also who is next?
Only one way to find out! :D
Experience? Some time to heal and regroup?
Posted xp while you were posting here in Discussion, I think.
It's uncertain whether or not you'll have time to heal, or how much time you'll have.
Before we move on, I believe Brigitte's heal should have an extra +2 on it from her Rescued trait.
Yep, you are right. Which means that Thurgood is at full hp, I think.
Yes I am. Updated my profile.
Eek, my bad. Thanks!
Ricardo needs some time to heal
Ansirus? Postcombat actions?
@Mirasha
If we can't find a quick way for Ricardo to get up here you should send him over to the mule to guard it then you should come stab some bobble-headed goblins with "us".
I'm assuming Thurgood is in square g,25. Can he see anything more from there?
No longer blind. Back in action. No super powers. You are all safe for now. ^and yes do I see anything?
Drew up more of the hallway in the latest map update, but it half-filled with goblins in under a round.
@ Brigitte, and anyone tracking round-by-round durations, there was about a one-round pause between this encounter and the last one.
EDIT: The dark space with the "?" means "the door opened, but you don't have line of sight this space."
@ Ansirus: What's up? Going on three days without a post from you; the current combat is stalled, and was also stalled getting started due to delays in your prior post-combat actions.
If you know that some circumstance is going to keep you absent from the thread for a bit, you should post planned absences here in Discussion (along with any thoughts on how to temporarily NPC you, or what you plan to do, or to see if anyone would like to take temporary control of your PC, etc).
Can I post while flat-footed? (like inner thoughts or whatever)
Sorry, been really sick the last few days, and I posted in discussion on Saturday (less than 48 hours ago) because you posted the results of Thurgood's actions but didn't update the map.
Can I post while flat-footed? (like inner thoughts or whatever)
Yes, definitely.
On it regarding the damage. Sorry bout that.
How high up does the ladder go?
The catwalks and the ladders are five feet high (climbing them takes a DC 0 Climb check, 10 feet of your movement, and two free hands).
Okay, so little screams from inside means goblins probably, so get Thurgood up front and somebody make a wish so I can burn them all after we open the door.
I can't quite figure out when a character is supposed to make a wish, or for how long a wish can be "used" as a verbal component. Can you grant a wish tomorrow that was wished for today? What about one or two rounds later?
Reading wishbound arcana, I suspect that the wish has to be made during the casting of the spell, when you would normally supply your own verbal component.
Since wishing is a free action that you can take even when it's not your turn, any wish made during the same round will count for our play-by-post purposes (since having PCs post in the middle of your own post would be impossible and pointless), but I'm not sure you can grant wishes made at any time except during your own turn.
I'm looking into it on the messageboards, though.
I assumed it would have to be in the same round, but not necessarily on my turn, otherwise they would have to wait for me to start casting and THEN wish for that spell.
That's pretty much how it works, yeah. I assume it DOES have to be on your turn (hence the "even when it is not your turn" language in the ability), but "in the same round" equals "on your turn" for this purpose, since we would get the same effect by saying "I say this on Ansirus' turn" each time a PC makes a wish, which isn't necessary as all actions take place in the same simultaneous 6 second space each round.
tl;dr: any wish can be made anytime during the same turn that the wish is to be granted.
Your first major "boss fight."
Don't feel safe; Gutwad + minions will be the hardest thing you've fought so far.
@ Brigitte: Your Spellkiller blessing has only 1 round left.
@ Thurgood: You can attack U25, but that space has cover from your position.
@ Ansirus & Sarn: Position sucks. Don't know what to tell you. Good luck?
Hey I can jump off this thing without taking fall damage yea? To get to ground level.
Yes, it's a 5-foot drop.
Yeah I can't really do much without someone moving, so...good luck everybody else!
If I were in the rubble at 22,R would I have any issues with LoS minus people being in the way?
22R?
I think you mean 22V, or maybe 22T?
At 22R (which is inside a hallway and not in the rubble of the burned-down building at all), you would have several walls in the way of your line of sight.
Unless you mean 22R on the ground level, under the building? In that case, you actually would have line of sight, but the lead goblins would both have cover.
At 22T you would also be on the ground level (with line of sight) and the lead goblins would both have cover (from both the other PCs and from the walkway).
At 22V you would have a very clear line of sight and no cover from the walkway (though shooting through PCs from that space would still provide the goblins with cover, and incur "firing into melee" penalties).
Finally! woo woo
Brigitte, move into the square where Mirasha just killed a goblin, and somebody wish for some burning hands.
Sooo. Hay, yall. Oooops.
I think the module assumes you scour the swamp for XP before you get here, maybe (the witch (?), the Soggy River Monster, etc), but... yeah. Gutwad is really hard at 1st level.
In case you missed it in all the fun, the most important and worrying thing about the last post is probably that Brigitte's attack roll (an 18) missed Chief Gutwad.
You guys need a plan for his AC and the possibility of a second rocket (there's another one at his hip). Brigitte has one heal left, if anyone can get her conscious. Maybe draw the fight to the ground so you can involve the mastodon? Unlikely though, since the goblins have fireworks and a bow.
I don't really know. Glad I'm not you right now.
Good luck.
I have a scroll of Infernal Healing I can use on Brigitte, but it'll take some time to really get her back into the fight. Anyone have a potion?
Maybe if you readied it so that she could go right after you cast it, and heal herself. Otherwise, (assuming she stabilizes) she'll be sitting around with 0 hp.
maybe attack the stupid goblin while he is blind...
*cough* Thurgood *cough*
Don't worry about having 1 hp btw Thurgood, you got Diehard sucka.
You sick or something?
Infernal would put Brigitte up to about 9, which means she could use her heal on Thurgood.
@ Thurgood: Not sure why my Steam cut out, but I wanted to tell you that Jen was in Orlando today and apparently saw a "pub for geeks and gamers" called "The Cloak & Blaster" where you can drink and play tabletop games.
Just thought you might want to move to Orlando more or less immediately.
(Check out the menu.)
If Gutwad readied an action and Mirasha set it off he should be taking his next turn just before her in the next round.
Otherwise he's getting to take his readied action and then a full turn, and I'm pretty sure that's not right.
Yeah, you're right. Not sure what I was thinking, there.
Only difference it makes is that Gutwad has two potions on him instead of one.
Sarn, can you heal Brigitte? I would prefer to save my scroll if you have a daily you can use.
