Please forgive my absence... I will be getting on a plane in a couple hours and will not have access to a PC until Tuesday late so my next post might be all the way until Wednesday. You guys will have all the time in the world to put your final strategy together and finish initiative rolls etc and we will hit the ground running on Wednesday.
Aidan plans to use entangle once the force starts to split up, hopefully isolating some soft targets. Tkurzhan is a machine- his high speed and damage output make him an excellent candidate for taking out key targets, but his relative low saves make him dangerously vulnerable. He'll wait for a target to be available. I like the kill squad idea, even if it's lacking a good healer.
I'd be careful with entangle - the 40' radius may mean it causes us more trouble than it causes them. But a bear trap! You absolutely rock!
For a healer, there is Larayn who can fix us after the fight and Sigil won't mind her tagging along with the kill team to patch up as necessary.
I'll be casting it well back. I can generally nail down a useful area for it, and I'll be slowing down mostly Narnel's targets, but I'll be careful with the radius for sure.
Hey - Happy B-Day! Enjoy!
Enjoy your birthday!
Yes! Happy Birthday! How old are you? Ancient like me, or just a whippersnapper?
Yeah...I am interested to see the ages of the people that I participate in these PbP's with - do tell. I just turned 43 on the 8th, by the way - another Cancer!
21 for me!
Closing steadily in on my 38th later in the month -- I had the good sense to wait long enough to be a Leo. :)
Happy Birthday!
I run a stealthy 33. I have the fun of being a sheep in the chinese and in the greek zodiac.
I win (so far) at the venerable age of 45. Venerable - isn't that +4 Int, +4 Wis?
Ok...ya barely have me...
I think it's -10 str & dex...
I'm even with you...45 (May)
I do have Shield of Faith, but no Protection from Evil.
Anyone got "protection from old age" or "shield of selective deafness"?
June - so you have seniority my master. Still, getting older is a whole lot better than the alternative.

Let us know if it works. Sounds hopeful even if our godforsaken economy hates us.
I am lucky in that Helen lets me game one weekend day a month (Kingmaker), down the pub another evening (Smugglers Shiv which I get to DM) and every six months I organise a weekend convention here in Devon. Very small but perfectly formed in its fourth year.
Any of you guys (and gals) are more than welcome this November by the way.
Good game this, isn't it?
Cheers
Ahhhh yes...I have at two boys (2 & 4). My wife is only two years my junior as well, but we started late. Still host a tabletop game once a week though.
Happily without parasitic life forms requiring my attention (and no pets either) - which means I manage more gaming. ;-)
Happily Belated bday!
I am running at 30 here. Though whether I look my age depends on how much facial hair I am sporting at the time.
whew, I'm really bringing in the rear in years. Buncha old-timers!
My wife is a year my senior, and we basically live in a zoo. An infant daughter, four cats, and a gecko. Time is a commodity especially with looking for a new job. I feel lucky to be able to game, so play by posts will have to do.
Ya, happy birthday belatedly Bryndyn!

Just back from Orcombe Point, overlooking the bay with my little daughter, reading a book about dragons and playing hide and seek in the cliffside woods. It doesn't get much better than this, especially now that the sun has come out.
Ready to fight some bad guys and score some xp. Taedric see if you can crit again.
I'll be at GenCon too. At Scotty's Wednesday. GMing First Steps (various parts) on Thursday, 2 slots Friday and Saturday morning. Friday Night Special. PFS games in the other slots. Going to be a busy weekend!
Ps: expect me to take those days off from PbP!
I just got Campaign Cartographer, and it's very much worth it.
It's true. They're pretty interchangeable skillsets. I'll get a map copy up when I can and email you the file, you should be able to open it in CC2.
Thinking of entangling just north of the "Kill zone" to keep those extra soldiers off us and give Narnel some slower targets =] That should slow down those soldiers enough for Tkurzhan & Taedric to rush the archers and Seneca to blast the soldiers... I'm going to ready it "if the northern soldiers approach south or east". The western soldiers should run forward to engage Narnel (and possibly any summons of Harlynn), catching in the bear trap and caltdrops, leaving the archers unprotected. Tkurzhan and Taedric run down archers, Seneca blasts away at soldiers... he'll probably mirror image now during surprise round so he has some extra protection when they get there, readying "if soldiers approach". By the time everyone figures out what the heck is going on, Abbas might not even have hit anything with his big stick.
Normally I don't discuss tactics OOC, but Aidan has a VERY high sense motive and military training coupled with an IQ and insight well above mine. The only way I can see to "simulate" this is collaboration.

That's fine Aidan. I'd do the same but Abbas' stats are single figures Int and Wis. I've bitten my tongue for all this talk of tactics. Not that I don't approve of what we are doing. I do.
Does entangle pull them prone? Against Narnel that may not help so much. I doubt it but just playing devil's advocate.
Cheers
It gives them the entangled condition with a reflex save and makes difficult terrain no save, reducing those who fail to about 1/4 speed and much, much less AC, but no, no prone. Though, they may just decide to fall over, all the good that walking does them!
I've just started using Obsidian Portal, and it has an excellent map upload feature. Additionally, it has draggable tabs... I'll let you know if I find a way to make it a viable map alternative.
This is my first map using the Obsidian Portal system. The tabs are indeed draggable by the GM, and additionally, they display the name of the character when scrolled over. It also allows for a GM-only view you may find helpful. The primary drawback is display ablity on phones, which suffers a bit. Given the scope of our normal maps, I feel that this is a pretty good thing to try out, especially since it zooms so well.
