Yeah, it's all good. I like it, though pardon the occasional error on my part :)

well after an all day drive to Princeton and back home (in the snow), them off to borough hall to pay for the dog licence, finally home to relax...

Cool. You're up!

What kid of mutt you got Edward? I myself am a proud rescue Staffy owner here in Scotia :)

I miss having a dog, growing up we had a golden lab and then we rescued a chihuahua we found running on the side of the road...

Chocolate lab , here!

pug/boston terrier, puppy still!

here is the little fellow

lab/pit mix. And I love Bostons, my mom used to breed them when I was younger. I'd love to have another one some day!

here is the little fellow

That looks an awful lot like my little buddy!

Great looking wee fella - love all dogs, but any terrier(/ mix) has a special place in my heart :)

Here's a couple of my amazing boy Darby (excuse the dog indulgence lol):

Darbs1

Darbs2

Leoven took a nasty bite.

here is the little fellow

Well isn't he an awesome little guy!

DMG : I'm actually a little uncertain on this, hopefully you can help me out. Damien technically threatens 10ft up as well as out. Since a withdraw action only prevents you from provoking from the square you start in, would I get an AoO on the spider as it retreats? I'm really not certain...

Hmm dunno he was hovering on his strand five feet up to bite leo on the ground.

Here is a horizontal cutaway, [ ] = five foot "square":

[ ][ ][ ][ ]
[x][x][ ][ ]
[L][ ][ ][d]

Yup looks like spider passes through a second threatened square damien. AoO.

Janna where is typo? Can't find.

[x][x][ ][ ]
[x][x][ ][ ]
[L][ ][ ][d]

Technically I believe this is more accurate. I think the main question is : Do you believe Damien threatens the second square from the left on the top row?

Edit : Ninja'd, thank you kindly!

No mine was right :p

He's occupies four squares horizontally but not vertically. But we good, AoO away.

the round numbers..

you have round 2 then round three...

I just posted for round 1 and you have the end of init order for round 2 to act.

Did the rest of us miss a round?

as for threatening, I say lets go with what makes for a great scene and not worry too much on exact technicalities.

Bottom of 2 and Top of 3 are open.

Lotsa people get to go at once because solo monster, one init count.

+1 to that :)

ok i posted for janna anyway so whatever round that is, curious what happened to round 1 and top of round 2?

At home I go fast and loose/cinematic/theater of the mind sometimes because I know who i'm playing with really well.

With a big pool of players online best to stay mostly RAW for now, so everyone knows what to expect. D got his AoO, took us moments to figure out.

You were right, my typo. Bottom of One, Top of Two are open. Fixing now. Everyone works out though.

yeah still works out, janna is being conservative with her spells with all the fighters around.

Exactly! Since we're all here it didn't slow anything down to figure it out and I'm pretty sure that was one that was going to come up again.

I'm less concerned with what answer I get when I ask rules questions like that and more interested in simply setting a precedent we can work from in future.

Janna and Vhillish got the headers right despite my typo looks like. Good save.

Damien fix your last header if you see this on time, I screwed up the rounds.

Your last post should be round 2 init 21

Darn, too late. Oh well.

On another note, I believe you missed Kevezyat's action. She forgot her header but hers is posted just above Janna's.

Cool, got it and damage noted. No miss chance because she has darkvision.

Hey Astor, if you want something to do, Damien offered you his crossbow!

Might as well take mine lol... its faulty :)

Non of that talk Sergeant! It's the light that's faulty, after all your Arbalest is a "precision weapon" if I recall.

Memory like a bleedin' elephant sir! ;)

Can we concentrate on the spider like a elephant and make that a bleeding spider!

Oops, Vhillish's crit was not confirmed. AC 15, 17 up in the tree.. I have to deduct 2 damage.

Also I can't for the life of me figure out if I applied Jerrid's sling damage yet or not.

Hey Damien, your AoO that hit was kosher but you can't attack adjacent creatures with that hammer can you? The creature is adjacent to you now.

But, with a readied action to attack as soon as it came within reach, I actually attacked before it became adjacent. Even before it provoked the AoO actually :)

Oh ok cool right. But he is adjacent now.

Yep, hence I need the good sergeant to relocate before I can take my round 4 actions.

Even in this game, combat is a delicate dance. No one appreciates this more than Mr.Winters.

H6 is still adjacent though

Adjacent to G5, yes. G4 and F5 are not however. Soft cover will most certainly apply but I'll take the -4 to hit over not being able to attack.

Short version : Reach weapons are tricky vs large opponents.

Of course this is just RAW, if you have any changes you'd like to make about how things work now is probably a great time. Frankly, I find some of the reach weapon rules odd/clumsy.

Oh I see, you can wack him on the butt from H6? I thought if any square he occupied was adjacent to you, reach weapons got shut down.

Soft cover is fair though. Little counter-intuitive to me but if that's how it works let's do it that way.

Yeah it gets kind of clunky but with large+ opponents you can designate which of the squares they occupy as the target of your attack.

Learn somethin every day.

Sorry for missing a few things. I feel like I'm constantly playing catch up and I've missed a few important posts. I'll try to read a little more carefully from now on!

I would say just don't rush. Even if you feel you are holding things up, it's unlikely anyone minds.

1 post a day is enough to keep the game alive and healthy, and when it exelerates in bursts beyond that there will be recaps to get you back in stride.

This is still a tense fight. I'm not sure if you guys have any way of dealing with ability damage? Leoven?

Anyone take the gnoll-priests bundle of herbs?

Added 5 ft step. Can't see map on phone.

Ooh look Jerrid did...or at least he has them on his alias now! just for safekeeping of course.

Unless someone else beat him to them. He certainly wouldn't have left them behind. Not when he is an aspiring potioneer.

Cheers

P.S. DMG if that is okay with you?
