I tried to find that rule, instead found things suggesting passage was possible. And in my own verisimilitude check, the bouncers have IUS, wear impressive rings, or rely on the AoO for movement within their threatened area. But mostly, intimidate. :)
Checking the map - I'll edit this post in a minute (turned out 30) with move orders.
Move to F11.

Nah, the party will be thanking you later if you have another encounter before resting. :)
I just realized I forgot to crop off the dead space at the bottom of the last map. Sorry it made your map so small, Tendal.
Sorry, busy Saturday. Will get descriptions of interiors for Phillip and Tendal and answers to questions for the rest of you in 24 hours.
Snake's action are probably not legal game terms wise, I don't know. It doesn't matter though... it was fun! :)
And somebody's got to at least attempt to teach these big mouth punks a lesson. :)
Aside: I was a big fan of 24 and it kind of reminded me of Jack Bauer, so, I couldn't resist. ;)
Well, three attacks is three rounds... And 14 more damage might make it so you can't question him anymore...

Honestly, I'd be shocked if he is our level or even 3rd level. And he was never hit, just stunned. And if all he had was 14 hp's... okay, there's just no way that's all he had. Especially after the main dude had a TON of hp's(That dude was impressive, I gotta say). With main dude having a ton of hp's, that'd be a huge drop off for his minions. But even if that is all he had, at worst he's unconscious.
As far as questioning him? It'd just be time to move on to the next guy. :)

LOL!!! That's just greatness! Oh man that is such a great show.
I say we hide them in the underbrush.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I LOVE that scene!
That looks like one vote for the underbrush and a whole lot of abstentions. Underbrush it is.
Sorry, very busy. Was just as well, because I actually thought the third had got away. I suppose that shows how busy I've been. Will try harder.
Braddon took down the leader in the grease; Gristav color sprayed Cappi for Braddon to secure; and the third man attempted to escape but was taken out by Gristav's arrow.
The midget raconteur is back in open control for another two weeks - still reacclimatising to such luxuries as hot showers, fresh milk and non-rice dishes... but I'll survive ;)
I've just been re-reading Abercrombie's First Law trilogy... so probably best I wasn't in charge of questioning... otherwise a bit of Glokta might've seeped through.
Welcome back!
What you've missed on the boards: over Ultimate Equipment errata! (Jingasa is the new Crane Wing.)
Also, Starfinder!
STARFINDER?!!!
OMG!!!!!!
<3
<3
<3
Please be like Dragonstar.... :-D
Seriously. Starfinder looks like a blast.
Just the base setup is fantastic. "Golarion is gone..."
So, the plan is for Braddon to climb back up the rope, raise the platform for the others to get on, lower them down, and then climb back down himself?
Will get a description of the cave up tomorrow.

That is what will happen... whether we plan it or not. :-)
Just chiming in that I'm still here - just had a massive weekend so wasn't able to get into the right frame of mind / have available time. Should get some good sleep tonight though and be back up and running tomorrow.
Right - back offshore again tomorrow... will be out there for another couple of weeks again. Back to KL on the 25th of June.
Noooooooooooo! Dang that stinks. Well, all I can say is: don't have too much fun. ;)
No risk of that unfortunately... I'll try to not get too sunburnt though :P
All right, does the party want to run up the signal flag?
If they do, do they intend to wait on the beach or return to the tower?
Ah well, missed the party. Good luck lads.
Maybe I'll be able to confirm the mother ship from the tower.
Sorry, guys. Had a busy Father's Day weekend with a lot of family stuff, and my son leaves for camp tomorrow so I spent today packing and making checklists. The bus leaves at lunchtime tomorrow, so I'll advance the gameplay thread tomorrow afternoon.
Thats ok. I had a test today. 8 hours in a testing center in Chicago. Yee ha.
Sorry for the delay, guys; I'm trying to find the time to get the map and combat set up. Should have us up and running within the next few hours.
EDIT: Okay, there we go. Got it done before dinner.
Moderately crazy question...one that I have never pondered as a DM:
If you get surprise, can you delay in the surprise round to reset your initiative to go first? I can't think of any reason why you couldn't...
Wow, that is a weird question. My first reaction was that you can only delay an action you could have performed on your normal initiative. Mark Seifter agrees with that view, that you can only delay a move or standard action.
But are you delaying an action or delaying your initiative? Delay says "you take no action and then act normally on whatever initiative count you decide to act." Well, if you choose to act on an initiative count in round one, acting normally would mean getting a move and standard action.
Since you're basically giving up an action in exchange for choosing when to act in the following round, I'm going to allow it.
I think it's a fascinating question. I find it amazing that after all these years of playing this game, there are still questions out there that you typically wouldn't even dream could arise.
I mean, how many times does a situation like this EVER come up? That's pretty wild.
500 pages of rules and I can't find a thing.
I thought there was a thing on resetting your initiative somewhere.
I could see how you could rule for or against it.
On the one hand, last in the surprise round becomes first in the regular round and gets a full action at no cost.
On the other hand, first in the surprise round acts after everyone else who isn't surprised and essentially gains nothing.
I can't wait to try it on another GM :-)
There was a 3.0 option called Refocus that let you use a full-round action to treat your Init roll as a natural 20 (and thus move to the front of the queue next round.) It was eliminated in the update to 3.5 when the developers apparently realized you could accomplish the same thing by delaying to the top of the round.
:)
Glad I am not the only one who was perplexed by the possibility.
Back on dry land again! - though still getting over the 20 hour commute it took me to get home yesterday (woke up at 4AM, got home at midnight).
During the day will be kid herding time, then tonight I'll get some posts in.
Yay! Just in time for the combat. I was hoping you'd get back before I had to take Phil's action for him. :)
Note to self: Make sure Braddon doesn't win initiative with a clear charging lane. :P
:-P
Fortunately, I almost never win initiative.
A triumph, of a sort. Even if he shoots me, he'll feel guilty. :)
Lol! Duke, duke, duke, of delay, lay, lay...
It's a reference in a Joe Abercrombie book as well - Duke Rogont in Best Served Cold ;)
"Now look," he addresses Phil deprecatingly,
I left the "self-" out ahead of that "deprecatingly" and only just noticed. He's supposed to be belittling himself, not Phillip. :P
Aww. If Samaritha were here, she'd be getting all verklempt. Maitea is what Malkith always called her....
Owe a post. I even know what I want to say. Just haven't had time with catching up at work after the 4th, and chores at home left undone for the holiday.
I expect to post tomorrow.
Sorry.

Nah, she thinks Phillip's a mensch so even if she heard there wouldn't be anything to kvetch about. One wink from Phil and she'd think it was all bubkes ;)
Blergh - on my last day onshore before heading back out to the platform for another two weeks tomorrow. Will be off from 9th to 23rd July.
Things are just getting interesting. Catch you soon.
Oh, and btw- doing 5 weeks holidays next week (8 days time). Will have net access but posting will be erratic due to travelling Europe :-D
Nice - where in Euro are you headed?
