Just getting back to normality now, no more time away planned until May ...
Gonna catch up and add some words tonight.
Glad Sholti is feeling better.
Glad most everyone is back, let's get this moving again!
So it sounds like the plan so far is to split in to two groups. One tries to sneak in the back while the other goes through the front pretending your normal customers?
Who is going with which group?
How do you plan to deal with the fence for those going in the back?
For those going through the front are you using disguises and if so as what?
If you want to ask some of your teams for help feel free to do so. Once I have the above answers I will move us forward now that everyone is back.
Turn me loose. My guess is I will be one of the sneakers, so that I can be fully armed. Unless they want to use me as a prisoner fake.
Horillo can sneak in as a cleric of Asmodeus if we can get the right clothing, he has a holy book of asmodeus already. If the shopper s can do that.
Okay, let's get moving on this. Nobody has given me instruction on weather I will go in front or over/through the fence. What is the fence constructed of? Can we bring something with which to cut a hole? Wire cutters, there are all sorts of different hand saws I saw on the web, if it is made from wood, or we just bring a rope ladder and climb over. I will be on that team and Mawl gets the necessary equipment to accomplish this. Someone needs to be careful and talk with Venderface.
Sorix will forge documents and use sleeves of many garments to pose as an official with prisoner transfer papers. So front-door team.
Checking in ...
Haven't heard from Sholti or Nils in a bit, I can just move us forward with the consensus of the three of you if you like.
I'm good with that. It feels like three weeks since we have taken any kind of step.
Well, my announcement of being better was more than a little premature. The flu this year is incredibly awful. I'm still trying to get back to normal but not quite there yet.
I do wonder if we've maybe overcomplicated things with the salt works. For the sake of getting moving again, maybe we should just all come through the front door? If Sholti can be fronted a bit of cash she'll also pick up some Sleeves.
She and Sorix as Thrune's people, Horillo as an Asmodean priest, others as prisoners. We take the bluff as far as it will go then fight from there. We're not walking out peacefully with all those prisoners in any case.
Maybe Vendalfek comes along invisibly to drop a well-timed Sleep spell?
Absolutely! Let's go with that plan. We move forward.
Yep, I'm with the plan ... will wait for Sholti to take the lead, but will chip in if we don't hear in 24hrs-ish.
Do we start and take them out? I don't know how diplomatic measures will release all the other prisoners which is why we are here. It won't do any good to have me chained up while we are talking, then decide that we have to use force because diplomacy failed. Give me a sign. If we are attacking I will wait until I'm within 10' of the first one then I'll move action to grab my Bec and attack.
He never kissed my unholy book, I think we'll be involved now .....
I am gonna wait til Sholti and others have had a chance to speak/get involved.
agreed
They see a phrase carved into the door as they enter, Horillo was here
Hey all, I need to apologize for disappearing. I got really really sick. I feel terrible for just disappearing like that though. I was hoping to get caught back up on my games tonight but I still don’t feel well and have no motivation. I’m thinking one more good night’s rest and I’ll be feeling well enough to go through everything I missed since the weekend. I’m really sorry.
No worries Sorix, we've been very slow, only Mawl and myself have been visiting, will be shooting at the dwarf after maybe someone else has been.
Yes, get better Sorix. I cannot have you passing the germs to me through the keyboard or anything. :)
If I miss doing a post at work I may not get time to post again as life is a bit hectic, I'm visiting my mother in hospital after work.
I hope she is getting better. Good luck.
Get better soon Sorix!
Help me with the ramifications of being larger as far as will I be able to move faster or farther than my 40'? And since I have a reach weapon, will it extend to 15' instead?
Your move speed won't change but your reach will be 20'!! I'll walk you through all the changes:
+2 STR (size bonus)
-2 DEX (size penalty)
-1 attack rolls (offset essentially by the +2 STR)
-1 AC (size penalty)
Damage dice increases from 1d10 to 2d8
10’ natural reach, with a large reach weapon, means your reach will be 20’ (but you still can’t attack something adjacent with the reach weapon)
--
This will all happen at the start of my next turn. You'll also be large sized, which means you'll shunt anyone adjacent to you into whatever square seems most sensible.
Okay, I need to start within 20' of you? I want to try and catch the dwarf before he gets through the door and with 40' move and 20' reach I can just do that without stepping in the grease.
You need to be within 25' of me at the start of my next turn for the spell to affect you.
Just have to delay until after Sorix, I'm sure if you put that in your post, it will be honoured Mawl. It's just that the guards get their go between you and they may get in the way.
I thought that I go after Sorix anyway, so this turn I'll move a few, then next turn regardless of the guards I have to run to the dwarf
Quick heads-up: I have a guest coming over for Valentine’s Day on Wednesday night to spend a couple days. I will be sure to post Wednesday but I won’t be able to post Thursday and maybe not Friday. Depending on where we’re at in-game tomorrow I’ll try to post potential actions or botting options. If we’re just at an RP point I might just need to catch up over the weekend.
Hello all, sorry for my long absence but time has been tight of late. Thankfully I think I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and should be getting more time to post again.
I've got some catching up to do with the thread but will get that done and will be back in action tomorrow. I still might be a bit light on posts until the end of the week but will get them in as I can and will be more frequent after the weekend. Sorry again for holding things up.
Glad to see you back Nils!
Welcome back Nils, glad life is giving you more time to enjoy yourself.
Glad you're life's getting back where you'll have time to play, Nils!
Okay, I'm a little confused, I was waiting for my turn and on my turn I had already stated what I would do, then I slipped, do I get an AOO on the guard or not? Can I run after the dwarf with 40' and be within 20' to get an attack?
Meh, I messed up anyway it should have been the Acrobatics instead of the Refelx first, which with that roll you would have passed. Either way, with the grease there hindering your movement you wouldn't make it to the dwarf. However, the AoO would have gone off first and will use your attack you listed as the AoO.
Okay sorry, just put me on the map :) wherever I can and should be. Also, I don't want to be out of turn but I don't want people waiting for me either so it is my intention to chase down the dwarf.
No worries, if people post out of turn I adjust accordingly. Generally it is only an issue if something you post gets effected by an enemy (for example a bad guy gets in your way so now instead of being able to move you would have to take an AoO if you still wanted to move.) then I have to check back at what you want to do with the new circumstances.
Went ahead and placed you at a double move on the map. You can at least see the dwarf now, about to go out the door to the fenced in area.
Okay, it looks like the dwarf is going out that door. I guess the others cannot see it so I won't say what I can see happening. But it is only a single door, will I be able to go out a regular door at my size? It certainly doesn't appear so looking at the pictures, but I cannot imagine I grew 4x my size.
You can squeeze through a normal door. (See below, specifically the bold portion)
In some cases, you may have to squeeze into or through an area that isn’t as wide as the space you take up. You can squeeze through or into a space that is at least half as wide as your normal space. Each move into or through a narrow space counts as if it were 2 squares, and while squeezed in a narrow space, you take a –4 penalty on attack rolls and a –4 penalty to AC.
When a Large creature (which normally takes up 4 squares) squeezes into a space that’s 1 square wide, the creature’s miniature figure occupies 2 squares, centered on the line between the 2 squares. For a bigger creature, center the creature likewise in the area it squeezes into.
A creature can squeeze past a creature while moving but it can’t end its movement in an occupied square.
To squeeze through or into a space less than half your space’s width, you must use the Escape Artist skill. You can’t attack while using Escape Artist to squeeze through or into a narrow space, you take a –4 penalty to AC, and you lose any Dexterity bonus to AC.
It's like the rancor in Jedi...what bad could possibly happen? ;)
Checking in..
.
I'm still here too :)
I will move us on in the morning whether Sholti posts or not, or possibly later tonight. Been doing some home renovations and taking time off from work so that has been eating a lot of my time the last few days.
Here as well
Good Luck with the renovations..
Hey all, I’m off on a last-minute road trip out into the west desert after just finishing a big/stressful work project. I’ll make some time to update soon.

Enjoy the time Sorix!
Forgot to mention but Nils was attacking the guard with the red background.
