GM Razors Party--Burning Plauge (Inactive)

Game Master Ravagwen Darksbane

Discussion thread for OOC talk, questions, and what not :)

Wow, I kinda feel like Tiny Tina pulling info and characters outta my you-know-what.

Brownie points if you get that reference.

Borderlands 2!

I really like how this is going.

You guys have been playing together for only a little while, yet you are thinking like a real party: watching each others back and making sure if they die, they take a few kobolds with them!

I see... a MINE!

Ah, the infamous Nat 1. The bane of d20 players everywhere...

One major difference from D&D and Pathfinder is that a Nat 1 does not autofail a save or skill check, but at the same time, a Nat 20 does not auto succeed either.

At lower levels it would more than likely keep you from finding out that tiny bit of info from the spy on who killed the king, but eventually it won't matter.

I really don't know what it is but this site's automatic roller REALLY seems to hate me?!

Eh, who knows.

And guys, I'd recommend having conversations in the discussion thread. That's what it is made for, discussion regarding wearing gloves over a Shurikin.

The discussion thread is for discussions: discuss!

Either way, I'm kicking myself over not thinking of this earlier when Greydon got infected. Anybody mind backtracking after this battle so I can pick up a quarterstaff? I'm not sure I have enough shuriken for all the Kobolds, and they do less damage.

My apologies folks. Seems I'm going to need to bow out of the game. Getting hit with extra hours at work and most my free time these days is being taken up with helping my fiancee get ready for our wedding in Sept.

Wish you all the best of luck and have fun!

Drogan, It could be bad idea to leave the dungeon, other Kobolds might notice the slaughter and be prepared.
But I am willing to take that risk, I you want to.

I can give you a dagger or two, although Flurry of Blows doesn't work with daggers.

I have a plan for you to get one in the dungeon so as to not risk leaving.

Greydon Real life before the game I totally understand. Take care and good luck with the wedding. :)

Edit: If we lose another player I will probably make a NPC to help with combat that or dumb it down. It is up to you guys.

Thanks again guys. Have fun storming the castle!

(Round 1) I should probably delay and act when there is flanking opportunity (no be able to Sneak Attack), but I think that I'll just set up flanking for some one else.

Keep in mind, since they have not acted, they are flatfooted and you can still sneak attack.

Awesome! Thanks for noticing, I didn't thought that.

I’ve played many a rogue in other systems, so those little tricks to get sneak attacks in are second nature to me. Another fun one, is to move into position against an enemy, and then ready an action to strike when someone moves into flanking position. That way, you don’t have to make an attack without flanking/Sneak attack. However, if no one else cooperates with you, or the beastie moves away, your whole plan is messed up.

That's nice trick. Probably worth the risk.

Are we going to do block initiative and PC actions, or strictly initiative order? I always prefer block style, since it allows people to post whenever they can and keeps the game going, but a lot of GM's like to keep it in normal table top initiative methods.

I actually like block better so we will go with that as well, so that it takes less time in combat as I have been in games where combat took forever due to the just going in order.

OK, so we're just waiting on Drogan for the first part of combat, then all the kobolds miss, and then every PC (even Alika an Drogan) go, in whatever order they can post, then the few surviving Kobolds, then the PCS go and win, right? Got it? Good!

Yep pretty much, I forsee the last five dropping very fast, good thing I got my good rolls outta the way.

Mez, I didn't follow your readying an action trick.
Nice trick, but I'll save it for tougher encounters.

Mez / Gm Razor: At leas my intention was to position so that it is easy for other to flank:

"Alika moves behind the next kobold.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24"

I forgot Gennor's inspire courage from my rolls, but my rolls were so poor that it is unlikely that it makes any difference.

It's only the 3 of us now, yes? And we've all gone? Just keeping track and wanting to keep the game going.

Not sure where Gennor went, but combat is almost over.

Still here- I was using Inspire Courage on others so did not need to post any other combat actions...

I will make a post tonight as the connection I am using it being a butt and not letting me get to my PDF of the burning plague.

Gennor, after you start the song, you can maintain it for a free action on following rounds, allowing you to continue fighting.

I think we are ready to continue to room no.5?

At first I thought "Yay! I'm going to get to use my Improved Grapple feat!" But then as soon as I posted I thought "I'm going to have to make a lot of Fort saves, aren't I?"

Don't worry, we'll find the cure ;)

Well even if you get it you will be fine, the town healer will have potion in tomorrow ;0

But should I be rolling saves for touching the Sorcerer? Also, I forgot I needed both hands free to grapple, so I would have dropped my spoon in my square just before grappling.

Sure, you just need to give one to touch him and that is it.

Sorry, but I've kinda lost track. Was that all of the Kobolds or is there another one still up? And then there are two still asleep, I believe. How long does that last?

Yeah there are just the sleeping ones, what do you wanna do with those two.

Until woken or for normal length sleep I believe...

So I've lost all sense of what is happening in the game right now. How many zombolds are up, and who's turn it is.

As of now there is only one left, and it is just the players so who ever really wants to post. Since this combat is pretty much over and one hit would drop the Kobold zombie.

Is the game over? It's been near a week without anything.

So sorry, I have been moving and unpacking so lifes been hectic. It is pretty much done though, all that is left is the conclusion.

Thank you for the game, if you plan to continue with this group I will have to bow out, I have actually using Mez in two separate games at the same time and it has been quite confusing for me.

Will this thread be moved to inactive?
