Gm Wu's "The war within" (Inactive)

Game Master doctor_wu

as long as the enemy doesnt beat on me, i'm good :P

I am one of the few with ranged it seems, so wouldn't it make sense to put me further back?

Rangers in outdoor environment? I figured you'd want to be up front. If you want to go farther back that's fine. Chardak is happy on point and has some survival skills.

So, assuming double file we've got (up is forward)

Chardak ... Storm
Ronigan ... Horse's butt
Nesteruk ... Anna
Pip ........ Grinby

How's this work for everyone?

Or we could let Ronigan lead from the rear:

Chardak ... Storm
Nesteruk ... Horse's butt
Pip ........ Anna
Ronigan .... Grinby

How about three wide?

Chardak...Storm...Ronigan
Nesteruk...HB...Pip
....Anna.....Grinby...

Sound good? If Ronigan Wants to be in the back.

C.....S....N
A....HB...P
...R....G...

Looks good to me. :)

Also I like to roll intiative as the gm as it takes a long time just to figure out who goes when. Sorry for ont telling earlier.

No worries, I saw that when looking through the thread history.

Work will be a killer this week. Will post as I am able. Don't expect much. Oh, and vacation next weekend!

Please DMPC Chardak as needed if I'm holding things up.

Looting our comrades. When we get to it.

Lyle's gear is all small. Chardak won't want any part of it.

Did Jondar have the wand of CLWs? It wasn't in his equipment list.

Chardak would take any of the Light steel shield, healer's kit, silk rope, rations, waterskin and the holy symbol of Pharasma, if no one minds.

The crossbow and quarrels could also be useful.

Thinking back, Jondar got the MW breastplate, but it looks like Caraldur never updated the character sheet to include it. So that would be among loot we took from his dead body.

Chardak would definitely be interested, but he's got the lion's share of loot so far. In the interest of fairness, AZ, Alex, would Anna or Nesteruk want that armor?

And just to make sure, Anna's got the wand of CLW ?

I'll take the wand

@chardak Yeah the breastplate was the reason I aksed if you wanted anything. Oh and thanks for the heads up.

Masterwork breastplate? Yes please. Let me know if I should add it.

Masterwork breastplate? Yes please. Let me know if I should add it.

Aren't alchemists only proficient in light armor?

Ah yes, good catch. For some reason I thought the lamellar Nesteruk wears was medium, threw me off. That and this is my first Alchemist...

Well, no harm done. Herolab would have picked it up anyway.

Grinby I think you forgot to update your skills for second level.

Does that mean Chardak's sporting breastplate now?

Yes Chardak is sporting breastplate but he took 2 points of dex damage so his Ac is the same.

Chardak I was thinking maybe move forward and bless if I have to dmpc you.

In response to Chardak: I say storm it. We have cover now and they obviously prefer range. Let's go smack them over the head.

May not post much from Friday until next Tuesday.

I forget how concealment works did I get hit?

That concealment was for the third attack only you have a 20 percent chance of being missed. The concealement for that attack failed. but the first two attacks hit.

the bless spell was a good call. One of my favorite 1st level divine spells.

Anna are you planning on using the winter witch prestige class if the game gets to high enough level? It was previewed on the blog.

Yep

I'm getting lost. Can we start declaring the start of new rounds, perhaps something like this-

Combat Name

Round X-

Ordered Initiative-

Active Effects-

Map-

I'm able to make check ins on the thread but trying to navigate it when short on time is nightmarish.

How was my last post?

Clear as far as I can see. Cleared a thing or two up far me.

I'm now finally moving up to Southampton for university. Things will be hectic for me but will settle down on the 1st of October, at which time expect much more posting from me.

I'll try and weigh in where possible but please don't let the game be waiting for me on anything except combat. Assume my character is passive and goes with the flow. Should be able to keep up with combats but perhaps not more than that and if i'm too slow, bot me.

I go back to ucla on Thursday so things should slow down a bit.

Rules note if anyone takes power attack so I don't forget you cannot use power attack to autohit an inanimate object as there is no attack roll to take a penalty on. Same with coup de grace although those don't really need to do more damage. Hmm Grinby has not posted on anything for 5 days.Just wanted to let people know in case it came up.

well, pips next few turns are going to go something like
1- stabilize Ronigan
2- Hobble toward the battle
3- hobble some more
4- still hobbling.

lol

Also you get a move action after stabilizing Ronigan.

indeed, so 1 and 2 will be on the same turn and 3-4 will be the next (double move action)

run does have to be in a straight line though.

You are such a linear thinker.

;-)

indeed, run (or skip-hobble) it is then, just to get across the front of the barn in a round. :P

Ouch. Live by the sword, die by the sword. Though Chardak did have it coming. He was far more gung ho than my usual character.

I'll think about his replacement. No inspiration yet.

Are we talking dead-dead or unconscious-dead

dead dead downside of orc ferocity stayed up at -1 then got hit twice.

Ouch. That sucks.

Gm Wu's games are brutal :P.

I have not leveled yet, must have gotten distracted when I was going to level up.

Anna Leveled yet?

Yep.

Any new inspiration for a replacement for chardak?

he could try a randomly generated character

Tossing 2.5 ideas around. A Flowing style monk or an eagle shaman druid. I haven't played either class since AD&D.

I've kind of half-statted both. Having trouble deciding which.

1)I'd try a trip build with the monk. Try to support Storm and get him some easy hits. Also create a speed bump between the bad guys and the casters.

2)The eagle shaman would take the domain, not an animal companion. Nobility looks pretty good except the 6th level bonus is leadership inwhich I've no interest. Air and Weather look good, but might kind of step on Pip's schtick.

.5)Alternatively he could be a straight druid with fire domain.

In any case he'll be an elf with pretty minimal gear, so if you want to introduce him as a captive to the bandits that will work.

I am thinking of allowing the eagle shaman the eagle domain from ultimate magic just feels right. Also they cannot say has access to a domain that at the time eagle shaman was written doesn't exist yet. It just thematically seems to fit although could get redundant.

Thanks for the offer, eagle domain looks very cool, especially if I wanted to try ranged attacks, but I want this guy to be very spell-focused. Pay no attention to his gear. I'll sort that out in a bit. 1000 gp for newcomers?

2nd level HP roll: 1d8 ⇒ 2 Oh well, good thing I picked toughness.

Maoldrurra

Yes 1,000 gp gold for newcomers.
