What Nimos said, your free to fire if you wish or you can wait till next round if you want
It is a move to draw a weapon even the crossbow...
Miyako is a haunted oracle; for them, retrieving anything is a standard action at best.
It was under her cloak so
Does the haunted curse affect how long it takes to draw a weapon?
No. The curse affects the "retrieve a stored item" action. If you are using the "draw a weapon" action (such as to draw a dagger from a belt sheath), that is a different kind of action and the haunted curse does not affect it.
If you were attempting to retrieve a dagger from your backpack, that would count as a "retrieve a stored item" action and the curse would interfere.
From the FAQ.
Aha, thank you for the clarification!
Ever learning...
Does Warforged #1 have a gauntlet or something to count as being armed? If its taking a swing at me with just its fist: 1) I get an AoO since I am armed and he isn't, 2) I am immune to non-lethal, so he has to take another -4 penalty (not that it matters) to make it lethal damage.
Just asking because you didn't state what weapon it had when it attacked.
A ranged called shot to the leg is minus 7 Miyako.
GM: Forgive me if I overlooked it, but: Was Kwin's dagger attack a miss?
Can we get a map update, GM?
Is warforged #1 down or not? Slightly confused since it says Nimos cut him down then immediately after, Merry targets him again.
If no one chases the dwarf I will change my round three to follow and attack him since I should have have double his move adding + 6 to my first attack roll since it won't be a called shot and the strength surge boosting it to 19 to hit. Dwarf 20, me 30 + 10 fast movement.
Go for it, Nimos. Try not to kill him though.
The first shot is going to be lethal but I will offer him to option to surrender. Just be glad I am not huge was doing 30's then and non lethal can still kill you with that kind of damage..
@Kol ah your right, I just assumed he made it against the Warforged still standing. (doesn't really matter cause he missed)
@Kwin your dagger throw would be round 3 If I'm not mistaken? WOuld you like to do the same thing?
Map update in about 20 mins
Correct, and I have no idea how I got out of sync and jumped the gun like that. I blame holiday confusion.
I read through the action again and it looks like the dwarf's bailout actually occurred at the end of the second round. Would Kwin still have a clear ranged shot by the time his initiative rolled around? If so I'll keep the same action (which I presume is a miss). Otherwise I guess I should retcon it. So, your call.
Apologies for the glitch. I need to tighten up; I'm not making a very good showing as a player and soon I won't have the holidays as a convenient excuse!
Lol no worries Kwin no big deal
Currently your 30 ft away from the dwarf, so throwing the dagger may not be your best bet :P
Keep your roll if you need a roll for this round in some way
(remember your using your move action to drop the chandelier)
hey guys, sorry about not posting for the last few days. i was on vacation up north and the lone cell tower near my inlaws was destroyed by a snow storm, so i was without cell phone service (IE the internet for postings) until late last night when i got home.
ill read up on what ive missed and post shortly...
There's still some confusion with the warforged. As far as I can see from the text, #1 was engaged with Kol and Merry and beaten up pretty badly; #2 only threw a chair at Nimos. Yet on the map you have #2 marked as out of commission.
At one point you said "the Minotaur... takes another swing with his greatsword, and slices warforged #1 straight in half." But it doesn't look like Nimos would've been in position for that; he's closer to #2.
So I'm wondering if that was a typo for #2. That would mean the map is correct, #2 is "cleaved in twain" and #1 is still up but with his "guts" spilling out. That's the assumption I'm going to go on for my retcon, anyway. It'll be up momentarily.
(Welcome back, Harry!)
I ment warforged 2 sorry, he was closer to that one (and it threw a chair at him) so it made more sense for him to target that one
(ie yes it was a typo)
...
Yeah, I've got nothing.
Hmm, oh. Oops, misread the conversation. Just assume I meant to target the still standing warforged, whichever it many be.
Just for the record, the stroll over to the humans was fluffy. GM, feel free to consider Kwin at his prior position for any melee-specific action if necessary.
(And thanks Miyako; Feliz Año Nuevo to you and all as well!)
What do you mean by fluffy? O.o
He means that he didn't actually spend a move he was just role playing.
Thank you, Nimos. Nailed it.
AH gotcha
I aim to entertain, GM. ;)
Having a lot of fun playing as Kol. Never tried a comically serious character, but I'm liking the dynamic between me and Kwin.
That and our misadventures with the diceroller makes for interesting opportunities to play off of, even if not always to our advantage.
And I gotta say it's wickedly cool when a PC just sort of "takes off" on his own in an unexpected direction. I never intended to play Kwin as an exuberantly carefree, overconfident Jack Harkness/Errol Flynn/Han Solo renegade. But between our noble GM priming the pump with a Jack Sparrow bar fight scene, and a Tony Stark type being the perfect foil for Kol's snarkasm (and dang it, I'm still hearing J.A.R.V.I.S. in my head every time I read your lines, metal man) -- it seems Kwin has decided to disregard my original vision.
Yeah, we might not be as effective a fighting team as we could be if we were more serious, but this is gonna be fun! :o)
Power out, DMPC as needed.

Snow sucks. Stay warm, Kwin.
I'm going to be a little busy today guys so I think ima wait till tomorrow to post the next part of the scenario.
Thanks, Kol. I'm in central Virginia and escaped the snow; it was high winds that got us here. I was at work, the dog likes it chilly, and the house only got down to 53F anyway, so it's all good.
Go ahead, GM. I think Kwin and I are in position and are as ready as we'll ever be for what we think is coming. Do you want us to roll our perception now or wait for your prompt?
In retrospect I don't think a perception check will be needed. I think everyone is ready so I'll post it about 20 mins.
Okay, not what I anticipated. I figured somebody called the Watch and what Kwin saw through the windows was the local cops gathering to burst in. I never expected it to be the SWAT Team firing tear gas!
GM, you described the place thusly:
It's a rather large inn, built for the large capacity needed for the festival, and includes its own built in bar and tavern.
From that I visualized the place something like a modern hotel: You walk in and there's a restaurant over here and a bar over there but the bulk of the building is devoted to guest rooms. I'd even decided it made sense that Kwin (and Kol) were staying there, and left Kwin's sword, backpack, etc. upstairs in his room.
I'm going to move forward on the assumption that's correct and that the door/hall/stairs/etc. to the guest rooms is off the tavern. If that's bogus please clue me in and I'll retcon.
I was about to suggest we take to the second floor if there was one. Good to see we're on the same page, Kwin. Going out the main entrance just tosses us into the loving embrace of the city guards.
Suddenly, I am very glad I don't have to make fortitude rolls.
Exactly. The whole "act casual" thing assumed the Watch was about to burst through the door, and I wanted us to look like innocents caught up in the mess. I figured in the initial shutdown rush they might just shoo us out without digging too deeply. (I didn't expect it to actually work, but it was worth a shot.)
If we go running out the door, there's nothing to distinguish us from anyone else. And as soon as it gets down to questioning people, plenty of folks saw us fighting... and it might not matter that we didn't start it or were just coming to the aid of a server being abused by a customer.
If we can get to our room, Kwin has his sword and backpack again. If the gas is heavier than air we don't have to sweat that. If we can avoid being seen by other patrons during questioning we might be able to pass for "weren't downstairs at the time." Depending on the layout we may be able to climb out a window and leave all this behind us.
It just seems to open up a lot more options than running out the front door.
Good thinking, Miyako!
And maybe this is one of those rare cases where splitting the group is a good idea. The more different ways we scatter or try to escape, the better the chances that at least one of us will make it.
And then, he said hopefully, initiate actions to rescue the others...
Yeah, you're fortunate: You have the "cute innocent" thing going for you!
As for the "little" part... you did notice you and Kwin are exactly the same height, yes? There were persistent rumors around the clan that his mom had a tryst with a gnome (which would explain both his short stature and his affinity for gadgets/mechanical aptitude)...
Nice bit of BS'ing there Kwin.
Thanks, buddy. I don't intend Kwin to be a rapscallion but it sure seems he wants to gravitate that way. (Notice how everything he said isn't technically a lie? Heh.)
With that mediocre Bluff roll it was only by the grace of the dice gods we managed to get out of there, though.
Guess you'll just have wait for this to blow over before you can pick up the rest of your stuff up, Kwin...
I guess minimum-wage mooks aren't paid to think.
If it'd come to it I don't think there would've been a fight unless they provoked. A bar brawl is one thing, but I presume these guys are operating in some official capacity. Kwin's not the type to take on the local constabulary for no good reason -- he'd go quietly with the intent of pleading his case to calmer minds.
Guess you'll just have wait for this to blow over before you can pick up the rest of your stuff up, Kwin...
Appears so. Let's hope we won't face anything calling for a crossbow or another sword (you have yours) before then. At least I have my dagger, "walking stick" and money with me.
Plus I can whip something up if needs be. Tinkers are handy like that. :o)

@GM: I assumed the 12 Acrobatics roll was enough for a simple jump through a window, but I'm not too sure if it covers the landing roll after the jump. I'd suggest some glass shards from the smashed window in the legs as a compensation, may the Acrobatics roll not cover the landing roll. (Rollll...)
Kwin, compared to my abysmal 6 Charisma (-4!) you are goddamn Morgan Freeman.
Who are we still waiting on?
