I have a tabletop game tonight.
Understood!
Forgot to ask, could I have found a CLW wand as well?
Updating my sheet with my bracers and what spells I would have today. You can bet that Lucrezia prepared Featherstep for a trip into the swamp.
And could I have found some anti-poison or anti-toxin as well? I am sure that things in swamps are poisonous.
We will probably need a CMW wand in the future since we are getting past the point of 1d8+1 being enough. :) Always willing to pitch in of course.
Uggh!
BAby sick no sleep...
I need to run...I should log on after I get home around 10:30.
I thought we were ready to rumble... How did this turn into "touring the hagwood"?
Seems we will be getting more allies to fight off all the humans, ogres and hill giants. Plus dogs, they have a big pack. So more bodies on our side seems to be a good idea.
Also..more XP.
That is the general idea, I think. And there's a named NPC involved, so it must be important. :D
Gerard might have to ask nicely for the buff, though, since Eupemia feels his first impression amounted to him saying this to her:
Hello, piece of excrement I scraped off of my shoe. I'd rather waste time insulting you and insinuating you're a devil than comply with your reasonable request for self preservation whilst taking advantage of your magic item. My needs always take precedence over yours. KTHXBAI.
Now, now... Sorry for any misunderstanding. Neither player nor character are being mean (well, maybe character is terse). I just have a different style of play. Still new to the group.
But, this group seems to be big on exposition. When role-playing in a crisis situation, I don't feel we'd have the time to sit around the fire and go through escapades in any level of detail.
I actually though we'd have been in combat a round or two later... then we went touring. Pimpin' the pink boat. But, even then we'd have been hurried... chit chat is not his thing. You seem to be a witch and he's the antithesis of "caster".
Doesn't mean he wouldn't rush to save the newcomer in some heroic fashion... just doesn't come across as candyland, bubble gum. He almost got his killed the previous day, having his arse handed to him. So, today he's all business.
We can role-play through it.
Now, as to buffs... Buffs aren't for the individual character, they are for the party good. The power is being used on the groups behalf, for the greater good. He's not asking for favors. That's my take.
He's more than willing to go on a suicide mission without blinking. Buffing him depends on how much you'd (or anyone'd) want him to succeed and/or survive. Does the group want his effectiveness optimized?
WELCOME!
And, thanks for your patience. It was a nice intro. :)
EDIT: Doesn't mean he WOULDN'T rush to save the newcomer in some heroic fashion...
Oh, don't worry. Only the character was offended in any way. And she gets the 'greater good' thing, but that doesn't mean she can't milk it.
I didn't know you could milk hedgehogs... gonna try not to think about it. Tally-Ho!
So here are some things we could do..
1.Try to ride off, perhaps find a more defensible spot.
2. Lurk off trail (need to leave the horses, us as bait?) and ambush.
3. Head on attack
Don't worry, my song will save us!
...or we could run, lol.
I say fight, a more defensible spot if need be.
Indeed.
As the newbie, this is up to A D L or O.
As Baldwin said, if we go to the forest, we will string ourselves out, have difficulties with LOS/ranged weapons and MIGHT lose them. Not all of us are good riders and we will probably need riding/survival checks.
Fighting on the path seems to be a good idea, we need good crowd control for example.
Wind Wall to protect us and Cloudkill on the enemies side
Wall of Fire to bottelneck the path and area spells like Black Tentacles,Confusion to wreck havok with ranks.
And summoned flying creatures.
I was having difficulty with the villain tokens on the map, so I don't have it with me to set the battle up, if you decide to fight.
Gerard got Dex +2, INIT is +7 for future. Doesn't matter how things are for this combat.
If Gerard hides, surprise round?
I'm going to need to look at everyone's dex again for initiative. I forgot just about everyone and ability stat dex bump recently. I have not updated my initiative code template that I cut and paste.
We'll play it out as is for this event and I'll correct it for next time.
You can try a surprise round, roll a perception check and I'll roll mine out. It's pretty clear that the dogs have the scent ability and are tracking something.
10 Dex. No change.
I am for fighting.
The big Armored tank can CLEAVE across two squares and heals real good.
A base to fight off?
I am a mountain of HP and can heal 4d6+8 per round.
Do I get to vomit bugs, too?! :) I WANT TO VOMIT BUGS! Or shoot a web in front of the tank.
Bug,Poison cloud all contained with a wind wall? Sounds like a proper witch's cauldron. :)
Are these guys considered slavers or are they holding folks against their will? Under siege?
"surrounding and blocking the escape of"
How much longstrider did Gerard lose? Are we within an hour of Mother? Potion durations and all.
Also +3 barkskin means CL6 means 60 min?
You really don't know if these folks are slavers...all you know is waht the witch has told you. Basically a large force has arrived and is moving on the Mother's position.
It's taken you about 3 hours to get to this point.

CL 6 = 60 minutes correct.
Does anyone have enlarge?
I step out and you hit from the side.
Nope.
Edit: Something for you to get a bandolier of.
So, Longstrider potion was wasted?

I don't know if it's wasted but you did drink it.
With the blinkback belt, the dagger teleports/blinks back to sheath.

I have hectic day tomorrow, I will try to get the thieves actions up in the early morning when I wake up. After that post I probably will not be online until 5'ish.

Totally appreciated. :) Especially after the wuss damage. You using weighted dice?
Ogres can reach you in a tree (and they'll be the ones left)... 20ft up. Just lay down some righteous full attack rapid shot action. :)
They have reach so melee should be avoided. All yours!
Hmm. Orsin could drop a black tentacles on them after the thieves move. We need to break their group up so they don't swarm us.
I assume Lucrezia can get into a tree before the attacks happen?
Tree's a waste of precious actions, and it doesn't gain anything... Shoot the ogres.
If DM says she started in the tree, still no real advantage. But, better than wasting rounds.
Casters should focus on the Ogres until they're down. Full attack from an ogre is not going to be fun, which means you can't full attack them (unless you think it will kill them (finish off).
Will wait for my turn to see the thieves position.
Unless I get to act in the surprise round?
If so please put me in the square on the path.
Ummm, casters... Ogres, please.
Only Gerard in the surprise round.
I will try to pop on sometime around lunch today if I get a moment; otherwise, I'll post after work.
Egerly awaiting. ...
Ja!
Y yo tambien.
And me, too.
I want to dump a Confusion on the ogres. Major lulz if they start bashing the other humans.
Just waiting to see what the ogres do before I acct.

I was waiting on Gerard.
