I'm going tomorrow after work. Tomorrow is Chik-fil-A breakfast with the boyfriend and his son, work, then we're going to the movie together as a family. But, omg I'm SO pumped! We will probably see it in 2D. I wear black rimmed glasses with giant lenses so I dislike wearing the 3D glasses.

Yeah, it's tricky. Cover (link) for ranged weapons, is...
"...choose a corner of your square. If any line from this corner to any corner of the target's square passes through a square or border that blocks line of effect or provides cover, or through a square occupied by a creature, the target has cover."
So pick the best corner, and you'll see that part of the creature is blocked by the wall. The bench does not provide cover, but Zilchus does. Zilchus can be avoided by picking either of the northern corners though, but that doesn't get you past the wall that covers half the creature.

Well I don't want to cheat by changing my Round 2 hours later so I'll plan for Nidhi to move Round 3.
And Beauty and the Beast was really nice. Some of the background CGI (of the castle) bothered me but I loved all the singing, costumes, and acting. Lots of camera spinning to span the surrounding areas and it was hard for me to focus my eyes on details on the walls and such. There was a ton of CGI but most of it was really well done (I think.)
GM Euan |
Thanks Nidhi. Keep in mind, when you do move, I have quite a bit of reach (Benedictus can attest to 15' of it at least), and shooting a bow does provoke AoOs. :)

I just posted, but I realized that since Ben has only 2 remaining hp, and he took 3 nonlethal points of damage from Florence before...should he be unconscious now? In that case, please disregard my post and assume Ben has collapsed to the ground, unconcious.
GM Euan |
You are correct. I too forgot the heavy tax Florence leveed on you...
You are unconscious, but not bleeding as some of your damage is nonlethal.

My account or something is acting up. My Campaigns tab appeared blank and when I went to my profile it wasn't showing me any updates.
Yeah, something is borked. They are on it.
Probably another of those giant many-legga-pedes that broke it.
GM Euan |
Nope on both counts.
To cover the easy case first. You're distracted which means you lose your standard action. You still may move your full movement (30' I assume) no problem. Feel free to move further back if you wish in your init, because you'd know where the swarm would be at the start of your round.
Next, your initiative puts you at the end of round 1. You already posted, prior to my rat swarm going, your actions for round one. But my last post was actually prior to your action.
Does that make sense? Initiative is tricky in PbP. It may feel like you were skipped, and you were - but that was just the luck of the initiative order. My cats went in the surprise round tagging you once. Then again in round one prior to your initiative tagging you again.
Let me know if it's still unclear.
GM Euan |
It is both the end of round one and the start of round two. So don't, yet, post. You'll go after my swarm, if it should live that long before s-cattering.
Distraction is only the one round and you're clear. So your next post, you will no longer be distracted.
GM Euan |
Yeah, I figured you were confused, and almost said something last night but I was on my phone when I checked in which makes it hard to post.
You were up, as I said in this post (link). Don't get too hung up on what round it is. That way lies madness. Often players will mistakenly put a different round up there in the header, and sometimes I'll make the same mistake.
Even when everyone gets it right, the initiative order will likely span two rounds. The end of one round and the start of another. So it might be round 3 for some folks and round 4 for others.
I am very good about saying who's up next however. So watch that space in the footer carefully. Also, if you're ever confused, feel free to ping me in chat anytime. :)
All that said, yes, please everyone note the round number and your initiative at the top of your post. It is helpful to me when I'm checking who goes in what order especially. And if it's wrong, I'll catch it in my round cleanup - assuming I don't make the same mistake!
GM Euan |
Heads up here as well. I'll be on a short trip Tuesday and Wednesday. So we'll be a little slow those days as I won't be posting as much as usual. Hopefully we won't be in a combat then! :)

Hey GM, I've edited the tresure sheet with our recentmost findings. Can you please double-check it?
GM Euan |
You missed the Mummified guardian. Your most valuable item! :D Always list the item, even if you don't know the value. From time to time, I'll check the sheet, and update those sorts of things for you and it's a useful placard for when you eventually ID stuff (and for a reminder that there's stuff to ID).
Don't bold the values as yet. Bolded values are the sale values, and remember even precious stones are going for less then their full weight in town just now. Also, if you save them for the auction, they might go for more. The only thing that should be bolded, for now, is actual cash and items values after the sale.
Don't flag it as a Party Divvy until it's actually distributed. The correct flag is 'To Sell' for now, as it's in your possession but not yet sold/distributed. Note that I didn't put To Sell next to the mummified guardian as the party might want to hang onto that item. I usually leave things unclassified until the group has had a chance to decide if there's something they may want - for example the potions are unflagged.
As a side note, you should remind folks there are some potions to divvy up or decide to sell. The group should really keep the cure lights and restoration - but someone needs to be carrying them so they can track it. Otherwise, I'm assuming it's on the mule/in the storeroom/otherwise not immediately available.
Great start - thanks!

Very well, thanks for the heads-up GM! I'll do it better next time ;)
GM Euan |
Yeah, it's a learning process. You'll get the hang of it pretty quickly. :) Thanks for doing it!!
Prof. Benedictus Dickens |
Hey everyone, sorry for the silence. My laptop is having some problems and I was forced to leave it for repair. I hope they will solve the problem as soon as possible. In the meantime, please bot me as needed.
GM Euan |
Remember, I'm gone tomorrow and Wed so we'll be slow anyway. :)
Good luck Benedictus!

Checking in! Hopefully work has worked itself out somewhat for the moment, though I'm working again Friday night. Should hopefully have some days off after that though...
(And in the meantime I've narrowed down my games some more. Getting to the point where it's getting harder to choose what to keep and what to let go...)
