Anyone else hankering for a change in image??? :)
What no-one else looking for a re-style?? :S

Haven't found an images the rightly encapsulates Pavo determination with his unique style of dress...outside of the current one that is. ;)

Markus and Sver were cut off from the fight. We couldn't get out to help. Thought we would find a way around , double moves and help. Per usual, no one (maybe they couldn't) was backing up to let Markus to the front line.
And he's a crazy drunk dwur, Sver.
On a slightly unrelated note... Why do greatswords work so much better for them?
Pavo hit, no?
I am confused and a little aggravated. Why on earth would you continue to batter a door down when we are under assault from another direction? Now we are doubly threatened best I can tell for no reason. True the door might have opened anyway but rounds were wasted. What gives?
Lucid - as Markus has said we're somewhat cut off from the scrap and one option is to wait and ready, while the more fun one is to nail the door and hope we can find another way round.
True this could open us up to multiple fronts, but nailing the door on the premise that Sverrir's mulled brain thinks there might be liquor beyond was both fun and yeah a little crazy.
Was not meant to agitate or frustrate anyone - apologies if it comes across as juvenile - was meant to demonstrate our dwur ain't thinking too straight having downed several brandy shots...

Markus has a reach weapon and a halfing very willing to give up his spot. Our new pally is wounded and only half the enemy I hit failed their save. And that half get a new save before they act again. Situation is dangerous. A reasonable approach to tactics could make a huge difference.
To me the continued attack on the door seems like an attempt to not take the game seriously, especially when Lucid specifically asked you not to continue. The behavior is more in line with the dwarf than the LG fighter imho. And Makrus urging you on seemed totally out of character and an "in your face" affront to Lucid's request. I cannot explain it otherwise.
But we got what we got. The door might have opened anyway. Lets see if we can salvage this.
If our Cleric, Wizard and Pally fall back... Markus is more than happy to step up. He'd called for falling back originally and is near last in Init order. No one stepped back r stated the intention.
Sorry. Wasn't meant as any affront. Just took an RP opportunity.
Careful not to have the spot vacated isn't stepped into by the enemy.
Lucid - sorry you see it as an attempt not to take the game seriously. Think by now (some 1700+ in game posts) you'd realise that I'm not trying to dilute or belittle what I see as a great game (in terms of flavour, GM and players)
I too just saw it as a RP opportunity as I was becoming aware we were sliding into a "kick the door in and kill-kill-take" mentality that might not be everyone's cuppa.
Markus for his part has been very vocal on tactical nonce and stratagem that I know Sver has oft (in character) ignored.
Moving forward I'll try to run ideas in the OOC to avoid such clashes but do remember I'm playing a raging godless drunkard of a dwarf - so rationality and laser tactics will often be lacking :)
On a slightly unrelated note... Why do greatswords work so much better for them?
Pavo hit, no?
Ah yes, I didn't take into account the -2 to AC from the blinded condition in my response to what I rolled. It was indeed a hit and sneak attack
Total damage?
Lucid, take the empty slot... I'll take your spot, then S can move back? I can't reach Sverrir's enemy... Markie some magic would help, healing?
I can drop some healing if you want?

In all fairness, the pincer attack was going to happened regardless of what happened that round.
Re the guards: I keep grabbing the wrong stat block. These guys are AC18, FF16, T12. These ones don't have shield of faith running

Check him out... And so stocky, if he did go prone, they wouldn't know. :)
Nice rolls!
Cover
To determine whether your target has cover from your ranged attack, 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 (+4 to AC).
When making a melee attack against an adjacent target, your target has cover if any line from any corner of your square to the target's square goes through a wall (including a low wall). When making a melee attack against a target that isn't adjacent to you (such as with a reach weapon), use the rules for determining cover from ranged attacks.
Feeling better now that his bleeding had slowed, Pavo dashed forward, jabbing with his short blade at the guard that had been attacking him.
Heads up mates - I'm heading off this Saturday over to Houston tae spend Thanksgiving with my bro and sis-in-law. We're on a busy schedule so unlikely I'll get much time/interweb access so its highly likely I'll be off the grid until beginning of Dec.
DMFang - please DMPC Sver as necessary after tomorrow evening... (the dwur will of course continue with using his guile and varied attacks lol ;)
Ramos or Pavo what to post their actions?
Ramos or Pavo want to post their actions?
Lucid is up then I'll DMPC Sverrir unless he's back already.
Sverrir, undead do not get a save if I use lay on hands on them, there is a chance you wouldn't get one either, depending on how GM Fanguar rules it!
MU HA HA HA...oops that wasn't very paladiny
Yeah did wonder about that - fired in the Will Save regardless - was an epic fail so Sverrir begrudgingly takes his healing lol.
I think the balcony is a no go, at least for this round. Unless you can manage a 20 foot climb in one round. Our best best is to convince Sverrir to retreat down the hall so the rest of us can get into the action.
I thought so too, but...
...The room is empty and two exits lead off of the east balcony.
Maybe I misunderstood. Sorry.

Good luck with that lol
Nah seriously I'm likely gonna fail that save and be zombie chum
Ohhh, that's your own doing! Besides... with living enemies, I think he'll bypass you. Snack on you later!
Saves vs. healing... :(
Lucid - Why shift? We could toss you up... Ally-oop!
Want to tip it, actually... so it becomes a bridge or walkway up to the balcony level.
Someone should research and create a force effect "bridge" spell for lower levels.
My any tool and make a 20' ladder, how about that?
That would be awesome.
I'm thinking that a 20ft ladder might be beyond the scope of what is intended by the any-tool...
Grappling hook, maybe. Climbing with a rope is like a DC5 climb check.
Well, darn. I figured a 20' ladder could be made since it contained no "moving parts" and would qualify by the items description. It was used for the very same purpose in another game I was in. Ok then, does anyone have some rope? I don't and the tool does not allow fabrication of a rope, just a metal object...
Ok, so thats our plan then. I will use the anytool to make a grapplehook and Lucid can cast a spell this round, then run back and throw me the rope?
As things tend to do when you chain pull a whole dungeon....
On a related note, you'll hit level 4 right after you finish these baddies, so feel free to start planning.
I've been waiting to post depending on what Sverrir does, either falling his save or killing the zombie
I got fifty feet of silk rope. Will get a post up as soon as possible.
Apologies guys - thought I'd posted and then realised I hadn't, then RL crept into play to limit my opportunities...
As suspected Sverrir failed lol... zombie nom-nom lol
(I'll hold off making those level 4 plans for a wee while heh)
What's your bonus?
+1 Base
+1 Wisdom
+1 Cloak
+2 Dwarf
+2 Raging
I think you made it.
Happy Holidays!
Least one of us is on the ball Markus - I'm blaming the dwur rum lol...
Forgot about my +2 racial bonus... so aye total is +7 :)
Who's up... Let's rock this!
