Red Hand of Doom 5E

Game Master Arcmagik

The battle was broken apart to allow a single round between each fight for the party to regroup. Currently the enemies aren't easily spotted beyond the foliage. The Hobgoblin and Hellhound can be heard in the foliage, and another hobgoblin can be heard responding to the first (unless you are Rolen who is at the edge of the clearing but as far as I could tell not a single other person was down there anymore). Once everyone has posted their action than I move to the next part of the battle (in this case the third and final part). Rolen is the only one that currently has line of sight to anything... This battle has been a learning experience though. I believe after this battle while we will continue using the theater of the mind I will attempt to post maps (or pictures) of the battlefield so that it can be better imagined during the combats.

Kristophe: I need to research Entangle/Spellcasting abit. As you can only see Foliage which I would accept as the area of the spell but you can't see who is in the area. Basically I need to find what the "Line of Sight" rules on spellcasting is.

Initiative is too the party now because the enemies have already moved "off-screen" (behind the foliage).

Just so everyone knows I am still here! I had an unexpected Holiday Hiatus.

If you have questions... please ask. I suspect there most be some because the game didn't move all weekend.

I am a round ahead in posting, and I will continue to snipe from my vantage point. Everyone else should press the attack on those enemies hidden in the foliage and try to flush them out.

Sorry guys, been a busy week at work and I haven't been able to post. Hopefully today will be better if not I should actually have free time tonight after work to push the game forward. Thank you for your patience.

Per the Magic Section:

To target something, you must have a clear path to it, so it can't be behind total cover.

If you place an area of effect at a point that you can't see and an obstruction, such as a wall (or in our case the trees/foliage), is between you and that point, the point of origin comes into being on the near side of that obstruction.

No worries...same goes for me!

Last few days have been so busy for me, sorry for not posting.

No problem. I was actually just coming on to say the same thing. My primary posting times are during work, but it has been so busy with my boss on vacation that I haven't been able to check in and post. I also try to see time before the work day or lunch time but even those have been pretty hectic. So I apologizes for not staying on top of the game and setting a poor pace of posting the last 2 weeks! I will once again attempt to move the game forward today.

Hey. I recently had eye surgery and as such will not be able to post for awhile. Sorry about that, but I will try to get back asap....but it might be a few weeks

Has this PbP died, or are we awaiting the return from Alistair?

It's dead Jim.

I am back now...hope you were not waiting for me!!

@DundjinnMasta - Make the call DM, and please delete the thread so it comes off my Campaign Tab if it is truly done.

I'm also hiding this campaign. Bummer.
