Correct, He'd have to be able to perceive their stealth in order to act. The sneaking would forestall the surprise round until he becomes aware of the threat, after all, right now he's busy making flour angels in the pantry...


Well, crap. Dave, your dice rolls are contagious!


wow... proceed with the stabbing... poor guy just enjoying his dates, maybe looking for a bag of dried cranberries...


So you have sufficient hands to help carry gear, I'll assume you are taking anything not nailed down unless you specify? don't worry about the weight or anything like that; the families are more than supportive in carrying gear for survival and weapons. I'll keep the treasure sheet updated as we go.

Feel free to RP about anything you'd like in gameplay, like the ring, or the wand once you have a minute to breathe.

I think I jumped the gun and entered the kitchen combat during Erin and Star's stealth round. Oops. I missed so no harm done to the fight. And the hobgoblin can take an attack of opportunity on me AC18. Up to you Sean if you want him to take it.


You assume he survived the opening assault, bold of you....

Regarding wands (thought I'd move this to Discussion), should I imagine that as holding it in my teeth? Touching it with a paw? Mage hand? (I know Mage Hand doesn't normally work for holding magic items.)

(Edit: maybe saying Mage Hand lets me handle magic items but only within a couple of feet, i.e. within my own square, would handle whatever issues they meant to address by preventing it from working on magic items?)


I think all those are acceptable manner to employ the wands you find...
I like the mage hand in your square as a solution in addition to the teeth or paw method.

Sean, I identified those potions and went to the loot tracker to rename then as elixer of tumbling. But they weren't listed. So I starting entering their data into the spreadsheet. When I got to the sell value line I saw it was a programmed cell and stopped f@+$ing with it. Don't think I broke anything, it just has the wrong value displayed. Full price instead of half price.


word. I'll look at it and see what's broke :D gotta love cheapo not excel...

its because there are two of them Dave, so the cost of one = selling price of two

I'm sorry to split the party, but I'm honestly unclear why we seem to be expecting trouble upstairs. Aren't you just fetching a couple of guests to be evacuated?


M Cat Sorcerer 3 / Rogue(UC) 1, HP 28, AC16(FF12,T16), FORT 2, REF 7, WILL 5(6 vs illusions), INIT 4, Perception 9

I think we're just developing some healthy paranoia. :)


healthy paranoia is good! :D And it makes RP sense, the Slayer holds the families where they think the threat will come from, while the others look to rescue more people. Totally an appropriate split of the party's attention.
Plus if you look at the map, the Inn isn't THAT big, so you'd be two rounds away if combat were to occur.


Ok, so on the loot list, tab 3 has the classes and levels for the NPCs you've gathered up with yourselves. Here are some general quidelines - I'll make a seperate google doc and link it above once I've got some grad school work done today:

Adepts - simple weapons, no armor or shields. Basically a 1/2 level caster of some sort
Aristocrats - All simple and martial weapons, name says it all - some skills
Commoner - proficiency with 1 simple weapon - low skills too
Expert - proficiency with simple weapons, light armor - NPC class skill monkey
Warrior - all simple and martial weapons, all armors - weak fighter-y types.


F Half-orc Slayer 4, HP 41, AC 17(FF15, T12), FORT 8, REF 7, WILL 3, INIT 2(4 in Forest), Perc 10(12 in Forest)

Yeah, I did it because I thought it made RP sense. I guess I'm mostly just checking that I didn't miss something.

catching up now, started my "job" today so it was off to bed early.

Sean, can we set up something where if applicable we can assume I'll have a guidance on whoever is doing what? Example, I'd have dropped one on Malgrim before she headed upstairs when I got the scrolls (post incoming) just in case as it does hang around for a minute. I plan on tossing these about like penny candy


For sure Justin, Congrats on the 'job', SOP is "Guidance" goes out often and early!


soooo totally lost track of things. Is Pharus One-eye with the group of patrons at the tavern, or had he yet to arrive?


Last thing he said to you was he was going to Oreld's Shop to get something and he'd meet you at the tavern.


F Half-orc Slayer 4, HP 41, AC 17(FF15, T12), FORT 8, REF 7, WILL 3, INIT 2(4 in Forest), Perc 10(12 in Forest)

Damn that thing is fast.

Does Premek get an attack of opportunity?


Yeah they are fast- generally anything with four legs is going to be minimum of 40' move. Premek doesn't threaten as he has 0 reach being a tiny creature. That being said, he can occupy the same square as an opponent.

Got it. Didn't know that about quadrupeds.

Well, I've set someone up for a nice flanking bonus at least X-D


M Cat Sorcerer 3 / Rogue(UC) 1, HP 28, AC16(FF12,T16), FORT 2, REF 7, WILL 5(6 vs illusions), INIT 4, Perception 9

My bite attack is 1d3 damage, but with a strength modifier of -3. So.....

With three levels of rogue and finesse training, it could be a viable attack.


F Half-orc Slayer 4, HP 41, AC 17(FF15, T12), FORT 8, REF 7, WILL 3, INIT 2(4 in Forest), Perc 10(12 in Forest)

That's probably not the best use of three levels for you :-P


M Cat Sorcerer 3 / Rogue(UC) 1, HP 28, AC16(FF12,T16), FORT 2, REF 7, WILL 5(6 vs illusions), INIT 4, Perception 9

Probably not :) but I still haven't decided. One rogue level gives skill bonuses in basically everything, and I could sneak attack with a spell. Three levels would qualify for arcane trickster. On the other hand, not doing that means more spells sooner.


F Half-orc Slayer 4, HP 41, AC 17(FF15, T12), FORT 8, REF 7, WILL 3, INIT 2(4 in Forest), Perc 10(12 in Forest)

Slayer gets sneak attack at level 3, looking forward to it.


Its official. Too many Westfields, they just got their own slide...


M Cat Sorcerer 3 / Rogue(UC) 1, HP 28, AC16(FF12,T16), FORT 2, REF 7, WILL 5(6 vs illusions), INIT 4, Perception 9

If you make a ranged attack into a melee, I see there is a -4 penalty, but is there a risk of hitting an ally?


There isn't really a risk of it in the rules as written, I would say a critical failure could risk hitting an ally.

You knew how many Westfields there were going into this, Sean.

For the rest of you: this is not all of them. I think I just said something like "a bunch of mostly younger cousins" initially and then he went asking for *names*.


Queer Tiefling (Demon Spawn) Arcane Duelist 4/ HP:29/29, AC:20(T:14, FF:17,+2vs goblinoids) , Fort:3, Ref:8, Will:6, Init:3, Perc:8

I'm game for a stealthy approach. If we can get to the corner of the bridge quietly, then round the corner and opening volley/charge.


M Cat Sorcerer 3 / Rogue(UC) 1, HP 28, AC16(FF12,T16), FORT 2, REF 7, WILL 5(6 vs illusions), INIT 4, Perception 9

60' is charge distance. Anyone who wins initiative could get to them and attack while they're flat-footed.

I don't know what the difficulty of getting to the edge of the bridge would be, but worst case we just go into regular combat rounds which is what we would do anyway.


M Cat Sorcerer 3 / Rogue(UC) 1, HP 28, AC16(FF12,T16), FORT 2, REF 7, WILL 5(6 vs illusions), INIT 4, Perception 9

Someone should have told these guys that we are playing online and don't need dice, before they went ahead and made dice for Premek: Premek's dice


I'm game for whatever you all decide. You just need to execute your plan! :D

Also those dice are ridiculous!


Female Half-elf Rogue (Unchained) 3, HP 26, AC18(FF14,T15,+2vs goblinoids,+1vs traps), FORT 2, REF 7(+1vs traps), WILL 5(+2vs enchantment), INIT 4, Perception 10 (11 vs surprise or traps)

I like the idea of a stealthy approach to the corner of the bridge. We could try and continue it after that, but I think the wolf would scent us before we got too far. Thoughts?


Queer Tiefling (Demon Spawn) Arcane Duelist 4/ HP:29/29, AC:20(T:14, FF:17,+2vs goblinoids) , Fort:3, Ref:8, Will:6, Init:3, Perc:8

I agree, I don't think we will be able to stealth all the way to melee range. But stealth to the start of the bridge, then take the charge action to close with the hobgoblin seems doable. (And gets us into melee in the surprise round)

It's just a bit too far away to make using the magic stone a good idea for me. -2 to Hit for each 20' distance...I don't have that much + to hit to begin with. I'll take one, maybe it will be the right action in the moment.


Male Human Shaman 4 34hp AC 15/14/13; Fort 3 Ref2 WIll8; init 5, perc 13

not sure I'm being clear on my lights. how do I send you an image?

scratch that. Added a couple arrows to the map. let me know if that makes sense.


F Half-orc Slayer 4, HP 41, AC 17(FF15, T12), FORT 8, REF 7, WILL 3, INIT 2(4 in Forest), Perc 10(12 in Forest)

I didn't actually have much of a choice about leaving space to flank -- charging has a bunch of restrictions on how you can move. Also I'm now at -2AC for the round, so this next part might hurt a lot.


Queer Tiefling (Demon Spawn) Arcane Duelist 4/ HP:29/29, AC:20(T:14, FF:17,+2vs goblinoids) , Fort:3, Ref:8, Will:6, Init:3, Perc:8

I'm not sure if the corner of the bridge interferes with Ryll charging as well. The spot just below the hobgoblin is in range (barely).

I'm pretty sure Chrios's ?!?! Rolls are a perception check for 2 hobgoblins inside the building who are taking a nap on the job.


----- maybe-----


F Half-orc Slayer 4, HP 41, AC 17(FF15, T12), FORT 8, REF 7, WILL 3, INIT 2(4 in Forest), Perc 10(12 in Forest)

If everyone could please not die for one more round I think we've got this.


Just for the record: Calling hacks on the DM's dice....3 crits in a row, really? I can work out the math if you'd like.......


It’s a cluster. Don’t sweat it. Lol


M Cat Sorcerer 3 / Rogue(UC) 1, HP 28, AC16(FF12,T16), FORT 2, REF 7, WILL 5(6 vs illusions), INIT 4, Perception 9

So who are we on now? Are we waiting for Sighere to move and pull out the scroll? Or is that done and the hobgoblins are up next?


waiting on Sighere's action, which I presume is to move and cast Cure Light Wounds from the scroll. I'll roll those dice in the morning if he doesn't get back around to it.

apologies. Still getting into the swing of working again. So Tim is a lot like Rob (I'm working for Rob Archer's brother)and apparently doesn't slow down at all. So work comes in spurts at anytime during the day / evening.

For some reason people at work are sharing pictures like this today: picture

I can't even find the safety on this wand.


Male Human Shaman 4 34hp AC 15/14/13; Fort 3 Ref2 WIll8; init 5, perc 13

LOL. Nice Jonathan.

FYI I'm on the road today, not sure until when.


Male Human Shaman 4 34hp AC 15/14/13; Fort 3 Ref2 WIll8; init 5, perc 13

and apparently ooc doesn't want to work for me anymore.....

Looks like you used \ instead of / on the closing tag.
