Xynen's Hell's Rebels (Inactive)

awwww, it's just saving up the good rolls for when you go ahead and stab somebody!

Elias, Brask and Kalem, please list all of your AC's (touch, flat, etc) in your stat blocks (see Femi's or Mykhail's for what I mean).

Brask your AC is listed as 10 but you have scalemail listed in your gear, please update.

Whoops. I'm on it!

Gotta go get the wife, but I'll take care of the statblock when I get back home!

ahh, is having it in the character description above the post not ok? I'll correct.

It appears that you were QUITE right about that! :D

I find that it's often annoying to keep those headers up to date between posts during combat and figured the combat block would be easier. If you'd prefer to do it that way be my guest.

That's a fair thought. Besides, I see a lot of utility in keeping all the stats located in the same place for each player. Easier to parse that way. I'll keep the header, but only update it when we leave an encounter.

So many crits! Update post incoming.

So, I can assume there are enough people around that Channel Energy would be a rather terrible idea, yes? Because I'd rather not murder a crowd full of protesters.

Are we allowed to meta game discuss, because I'm curious if part of the group is running and the other half is staying...

Let's avoid it if we can. I like in character reactions. We'll muddle through I'm sure. :D

craaaap I'm going to get skewered. At least maybe someone can off this last goon before they take flanking attacks on me.

I used the ruler on the map, but am still unsure. Can I get to one of the guards attacking Elias and also trip him?

And if not techincally, could I do an athletics or acrobatics check to justify doing it on risk of getting bogged down by the crowd and losing my turn?

With a 30ft movement you can reach orange in one movement. Acrobatics moves you at half speed so it wouldn't solve your problem.

Also I agree with Femi, keep the meta gaming to a minimum. Also remeber that you are not a unified group (Brask is the only one to formally meet Mykhail and that was only 2 hours ago), so that you may have different ideas on how to act makes sense.

Good to know. Thanks for the quick answer.

goes for the soldier's(tan?brown?) legs.

I imagine they're pretty pale considering all that armor the guard wears. :)

What the heck. I have been rolling so many 2's and 3's... I'm so frustrated about this.

You know, I should just attack Elias, you know, really completely the square of enemies that's flanking him :P

Forgive my spastic updates/editing as I am at school and I've had very little sleep so I'm a bit out of it.

I've got them right where I want them!

If I successfully trip him during my AoO, would he miss with his attack?

That's correct. Or if you and Elias manage to take him out with your AoO's. Either would prevent the attack.

Ok, still a bit new to PbP.

This is the second campaign I've been able to play in

I wonder if there will be a running gag where Femi tries to nonviolence his way through something and then I ruin it. -_-

Sorry, femi.

No worries at all. I'm sure we'll find a rhythm. :)

My first long-term game only started in the fall of last year, in fact I believe the only one of us who is not a relative newcomer to the format would be Femi, and he's a very helpful GM and player, so don't worry about making mistakes or asking questions. We're all here to help each other and have fun.

Just a heads up, won't be able to post on Monday. Feel free to put my character on autopilot. Should be back by Tuesday.

annnnd, sorry about the weekend, had a suddenly sick kid. Weekends are usually rough for me to get a post in edgewise, but this was worse than most.

It's cool. I was actually in the hospital while my wife was giving birth to our first child when this campaign was recruiting. :/

I enjoyed having a chance to do something other than sit around and wonder if this hour was the hour the baby decided to come.

Whaaaaaat? Congrats Brask! Welcome to The Show!

ooh! ooh! Boy or girl?

Girl! Her name is Kaede. She's surprisingly sweet fer a bebbie.

Congrats man!

Also, the painkillers have worn off and it turns out I can post today.

oh Bebbies are a lot of fun (assuming they don't get colic or something).

The range from about when they learn to walk till they hit about 5 is so far my favorite though.

Given how she's like 2 weeks old and already lifting her head, moving her upper body, won't be too long now. :p

Sorry for the late update today guys. Took on some extra work these last few weeks and it looks like the lack of sleep finally caught up with me.

(Congrats on the newborn Brask!)

Thanks!

Kalem: Just a quick note, Martial Fexibility is a move action and grapple is a standard action. So you can only do 1: Martial Flexibility and Move into Combat (2 move actions) or 2: Move and Grapple.

In this case I'll rule that you had used martial flexibility just before combat started, but keep this in mind for future combat.

Whoops. Did not realize that. Will keep that in mind for the future.

I'll try to be as consistent with my updates as possible. I am stil stuck with school work and now I'm packing since I am moving this weekend so I will try to do my best.

Sorry for the gauntlet guys, if it makes you feel better, when I played this I used up most of my class abilities before we even hit the dogs!

I updated my last post, I had hit submit before I intended. It now includes the type of roll needed to identify the creatures as well as your initiative counts.

Paugh! No worries! I've still got plenty of AoE goodness for them! Just so long as I don't mind picking a party member or two to get hurt as well!

Also, I'm enjoying all the action. Tis good!

Elias strikes true and his sword opens a tiny cut in his attackers hide, but does not do as much damage as might be expected. Mykhail fires more accurately this time and obliterates his target. Blue sees an opening against Elias now that Kalem is no longer blocking the way and he moves in to flank with his ally. Purple also takes advantage of the position but neither creature can penetrate the clerc's armor. Red scores a bite on Kalem but it's tiny teeth can't cut the skin, leaving the tiefling unbleeding but a little sore. 1 non lethal damage. The whole party is up!

Wait, I killed pink!

Just a typo in the initiative list. You can see in the quote that I meant purple so you can take your action without worrying about any reprisal from the dead pink creature.

Normally I would Delay or Bot anyone after 24 hours between combat posts but given that it's a holiday weekend I'm going to give Elias and Brask more time.

Thanks. First easter I've had with a baby.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Yeah, sorry about that. I'm on a truly hilarious amount of codine right now (thanks, bronchial infection!)

Forgot entirely about things like "posting"

Will put up something right now.

Update coming in just a few moments, but I just have a couple requests I'd like to make.

If your post is going to be mostly, or all, OOC, please post it in the discussion thread. I'd like to keep the breaks between story to a minimum.

In a similar vein, much of the OOC conversation being held lately could easily be related in-character, and honestly that's how I would prefer it. Each of the players here were chosen for the roleplaying that I know they're capable of, or that they had shown me in the recruitment thread, I'd like the actual campaign to be approached with that same level of roleplay as much as possible.

We have a lot of good PC's, lets keep them interacting with one another as much as possible.

Sounds good, will keep your requests in mind.
