Thanks Pixie. :)

Hi Ravenn,
As per the house rules, no one may move more than 10 feet and cast a spell (or attack with a missile weapon, or turn undead) in the same round. So Mouser can descend the rope now, and cast next round if he likes.

Characters may move more than 10 feet and attack with their melee weapon, as per the rules on "Charging." I'm assuming Telkis is doing that, unless I hear otherwise.
Thanks.

He remains in the back, torch ready just in case one of the foul things gets too close.
Zombies don't require magic weapons to hit, do they?

Of course, maybe Urdur is just rationalizing staying out of combat. ;)

Ooh, is there a Deck of Many Things we can draw from, too? :(
Sometimes this summer I will most likely be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life. This organization uses gaming to help raise money to donate to children's hospitals. I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible.

Hi drpete,
The figure beside Pip is the bound, unconscious cultist that Pelias has been carrying. Pelias put him on the ground when he attempted to Turn Undead. :)

Sorry to hold things up! Had a crazy couple of days at work. Next week will also be insane, so don’t let me slow you down. If I take too long, please NPC. Remember: 1. smash zombies, 2. talk to mice. :)

Mouser seems to far back to make a melee attack, however is he free to use his sling or would that have a change of hitting the front row?

Hmm. I would say that a sling attack on Z1, Z4 or Z5 would be firing a missile weapon into a melee, and have an equal chance of hitting friend or foe.

But Z6 and Z7 are currently not engaged in melee combat. And the ceilings are high enough here to arc a missile over the fray. So, I'll say you can target Z6 and Z7. But a natural "1" will automatically result in hitting a friend, instead of a random roll determining the crit fumble result.

Make sense?

Hi Dads,
Last Monday, I wrote:
Inferno wrote:Hoom peers out from the back of the cavern. His disbelieving Elven eyes recognize one of the living dead trying to kill Telkis (Z3). It's Praetorius the jeweler.

The link on 'Praetorius the jeweler' brings you to the first IC post of the game, which includes this passage:
Inferno wrote: Hoom Feethos ventured to Hochoch to find a jeweler named Praetorius whom his father had once known, to ask him about the mysterious silver key. Hoom failed to find him, but picked up a lead on his whereabouts from a merchant who knew the man he sought. Through the center of his fat pale jowls, Rundicant the Plump said, “Praetorius 'ad gone to Briarsgate, poor devil! Just before all the troubles started!”
Hoom found Praetorius' jewelry shop in Briarsgate village shuttered tight.

Hi Zhym,
Z5 is strangling Telkis. Z4 is also trying to harm Telkis but hasn't yet.

I wrote that Grothnak attacked Z5, but can change to Z4 if you prefer. (Both Z4 and Z5 were uninjured before Grothnak's attack.)
Up to you. Thanks.
