Ideal lieutenant isn't ol' Rennoc... Gideon is however (no one in this group is polarized about Gideon, he may be CG but he plays like ol' Mord the younger...).
I agree. It shouldn't be Dai either. Gideon seems the best choice for now as this is more a (currently) a stealth mission with the heavy hitters waiting in the wings...
Well then Gideon it is. Good luck Gideon :-P

I'm fine with that, it is what he's made for.
In the process of moving/getting a new isp. May be off for a few days.
I have made it back to the world of the internet. I will catch up as soon as I can, and start posting again.
JD
Still transitioning. Should be posting frequently in the next day or so.
Sorry, a lot of stuff came up without warning and I ahven't been able to post, all is right now and I will return to posting.

I´m moving my home over the weekend. Not sure how much time and opportunity i´ll have to post tomorrow, friday and weekend will be offline most probably, mayber a bit longer.
Please have some patience and don´t let crazy wizards kill us all in the meantime :D (that´s clearly a joke, just in case somebody doesn´t understand it)
Hope it goes smoothly amd you enjoy your new digs Hamailii!
Given how tight the battle is. I'm inclined to wait until Lucian or Hamailii posts.
As an alternative, if the rest of you want to propose and vote on actions for them, we can move along that way.
I'm fine either way.
JD
@Cronax: Happy to wait for Hamailii for the reason you mentioned...
No worries, that real life stuff happens.
Thanks for letting us know ahead of time, thats the big thing to me.
JD
Question GM, after this fight (assuming we survive) how close will we be to level 7? As after downing at least two of them level six is a guarantee if I remember what you said about us killing the halfling assassin...
The three mercenaries you've already downed will just barely put you to level 6. By the end of the whole adventure (if successful, theres still a bit to go after this) you could conceivably be as far as 75% of the way to 7, but it will depend on a few factors.
Waiting for actions from Hamailii, Lucian and probably most importantly, Gideon.
So I just realized I made a mistake. For some reason I thought Ash Storm was min/lvl, when in fact it is round/level. I don’t think it changes that much as the stinking cloud caused a similar effect to break line of sight.
Rahger, As a standard action, you make a CMB check to maintain the grapple. You do not need to succeed on the check to keep the grapple going, just to take the action. However, if you do succeed, you can do one of a few things: upgrade their condition to a pin, deal unarmed damage, or move them. So you did not need to make a separate attack roll to punch the dwarf (and unlike normal attacks, grapple damage is not subject to concealment). Power attack can be used and just penalizes your CMB check.
Gideon’s lack of sneak attack is more due to the concealment (via psionic power) that Borras has.
Daishata, I’m surprised you didn’t take the opportunity to hit Yaris, True strike works wonders against the cloud’s concealment.
@Cron - yes, that is why I cast it. Then completely forgot and considered casting true strike (having forgot I cast true strike) but knew I couldn't cast it and at attack in one round (which is why I cast the true strike in the previous round) so opted to heal Chu.
And thus wasted the casting of true strike.
Such are the vagaries of stop-start PbP! ;)
@Cronax - Thanks again. You do an awesome job explaining things.
@Daishata To be fair, it's good that Chumani is healed. I was so glad to see him pass the DC check.
@Cronax - Did any of Lucian's cards hit their mark? Didn't see any mention of it in the round update.
It looked like his highest attack roll was a 15. Her AC was 18 that round (FYI Via the Offensive Defense talent)
Thanks for the support and good thought Dai & Rahger.

How´s that working out with those wands?
I can´t really remember the dark sun rules, if there were such things actually.
We played with dorjes mainly and last i looked the healing power was range: personal, which might turn out a problem since maybe not everyone can use it then. Also most have to UMD it then right?
Wands do exist in Dark Sun, they are just rare. They are distrusted, much like the wizards who create them. Luckily, your employer is a master of navigating the black markets.
Daishata, where are you getting a feat slot from? Feat progression is normally based on character level, not class level.
Ah - yep, I think I conflated becoming becoming 5th level Inquisitor with 5th level character … Have removed offending feat - though the feat summary was always correct…
Hamailii: Yes, and the big black dots are your kanks (stated in the 'enemy status' block)
It's now been three days since Daishata's last action. Normally, I'd have no qualms about advancing the round. But seeing as some of your strategy is centered around her likely action, that seems unfair to the rest of you.
I am okay with waiting.
Wait for her, Daishata I suspect is having a rather busy life or bad net connections...
