Grimm and John need to make room for Orsin and Truk. Our big advantage is numbers and we're not using it right now.
Baldwin, can he be tripped off the wall?
Can't really make room if Grimm doesn't 5ft step to allow John to move in.
I'll move. DM is asleep now. See everyone in the morning.
Only John and Grimm are in the room to observe what is happening. Those in the hallway know there is conflict but don't know what is occurring or how injured anyone is. Anyone outside the room barely hears a thing. Those in the hallway and outside have no idea of the layout of room, or the numbers, or position within the room.
Lets try to avoid the metagaming.
I'll be back full time tomorrow evening. I work 14 hour days at the combine.
What do you do at the combine?
One other thing the religion checks have been pretty low, and little information has been revealed about the creatures. Some know these are undead, or probably undead, and you've seen one hang from the ceiling and bodies turn into gaseous mist.
I'm waiting on Truk's answer to my question before I move to the new round.
With DMPC'ing Faelyn here is a list of the spells used so far:
Upstairs statue room vs the bats: dancing lights, color spray, color spray with his pearl of power.
Summoning room: flaming sphere
Comprehend Lang scroll (it was in his hand, uncertain if he actually read it)
Cellar:
haste, Greater Invis., magic missile, magic missile.
What do you do at the combine?
Medical testing-knees
When I read the background on this vampire in the book, I instantly thought about a cool variation. So I used a torturer creature's template on him, replacing his energy drain (SU) with a chastise (SU). No negative energy drain, or the risk of potential permanent level loss, but rather a creepy 6 rounds of on-going nonlethal damage (regardless of the save) and the circumstance penalty (if the save failed).
And still make us go into a blind panic if the penalty racked up enough to equal Grimm's level. You evil person you.
Time for me to log off for the night.
Okay, update on the action for everyone.
We came down and fought two campire spawn and a special crossbow using vampire who had a pain-inflicting touch. Two spawn seem to have been driven off and the crossbow-user turned into mist and headed through the ruined doors tot he eat. Ziz saw another vampire looking out from the southern doors.
Right now most of us are in a room with three sarcophgi that might be their coffins, so blessing them with holy water and making them unusable is an option.
Regardless, time to regroup and start fighting them.
You missed the party where he misted and ran away *after* he got tripped.
Yep. Seems to have a weakness to tripping. So having Truk trip while Grimm and John bash on them seems a good tactic.
Edit: I remember that he IS damaged and if we left him go off somewhere he will heal up. So chasing him down and finishing him off is a good tactic.
Unless he is using gaseous form to safely bypass a ton of traps around his coffin. This IS baldwin after all.
I believe we are right near their coffins. The doorknobs were poisoned after all.
We are still in initiative, the primary reason being to prevent him from totally healing himself.
Based on your previous dice rolls, the group as a whole does not know much about vampires.

I'll take that as a compliment! Smirking evilly.
I am here. Which way do we go? Which way do we go? /cartoon.
Heading East, IMO, seems a good tactical move since we can run down the wounded vampire. If we go after the one to the south, we have to deal with a 'funnel into the room' like we did last time and he can just flee as mist if hard pressed.
I'm waiting on a few posts to conclude RD5.
1 hour from home. I've missed u guys. Will be back to posting soon!

Sir...Yes Sir! <Salutes> ;P
I'm here just waiting for some posting.
Ditto. Just want to see what the group wants to do.
I am happy with the DMPC for rd 5. With the wife for next 3hrs so spotty till then but after that can post heaps.
If you need to dmpc me again: swift bane and fight with combat expertise.
Who are we waiting on?
Dmpc my attack
Got it
All set here, was out to dinner.
Edit: Just wondering. Can vampires go from solid to gaseous form as a standard action? The crossbow vampire went gas form and flew away with I think a double move.
To be honest I am getting rather burned out here. I am just exhusted and am feeling irritable. I'll give this one week to get wrapped up and then I must regretfully bow out.
Also, something that is just wearing me down is that there are just so many plots and things that I am getting worn down tyring to keep track and try to deal with everything. I'm stretching myself and my character so thin that I feel my enjoyment ebbing away instead of really liking a fast-paced adventure where we can blow through things in mere months In the first 2 books, we zoomed through them quickly but book 3 is becoming a drag. I was excited about having Andrea try to start up a brothel to help her friends but now that the whole thing exploded into a free Orn/Council/What is in the basment plot/fight Alphonse's guards that I no longer have any interest in it because it is just too much trouble.
*sigh*
Ok,
Sounds like you are more interested in following the app and less sandbox?
Shame to lose one of the few originals of the game.
That is just it, I'm drowning in sand. I have enjoyed the little plots and role playing but things have gotten so unweildy with things like party size, plotlines and combats that take so long because we have to wait on so many people.
I just want to get this done when the goal is right in front of us instead of chasing vampires up and down the halls. The way things have gone is that we hit them a few times and then they mist form and fly down the hall to heal and then we have to repeat the whole procress.
I don't WANT to leave but it is getting harder to convince myself to stay.
Sorry to hear you're so frustrated.
Perhaps with Shadow/Fluer leaving we'll have less waiting on people.
This place is no place for a rant. Sorry for any difficulties.
Sorry to hear you are leaving Andrea but gaming fatigue happens. If your frustrated with how book three is playing out book four will put you over the edge, it's one large dungeon crawl. It's back to the mayor's mansion where you tackle the basement. The side stories permit rp and they break up the monotony.

Yep, it's a standard action to turn into gaseous form.
You guys aren't the only one's hasted, that is how the extra movement occurred. In my original description, I think I even hinted that it moved farther then you would expect.
I feel better after some sleep, let's just see how things go.
Yay! Hit! Suck it vamp!
Was that -3 torture penalty negated when I got healed?
After you get healed the negative penalty is negated.
Ok
Add 3 to my attack rolled. 33 and23 to confirm.
The Delvenhaven adventure actually has one more significant conflict along with a minor one, I don't want this to drag on the group so if you want we can skip it. I could rework the significant conflict later in the adventure.
Let me know what you all want to do.
Well I was getting testy earlier since I was having a bad day and thus unwisely went on about it here. So now that I've cooled off I have no objections.
I have a migrane and shouldn't make decisions right now
I'm not feeling well, so I'm going to log off for the night.
Ok. Bye all.
I am cool with whatever.
