A World Apart (ooc and questions lll)

[Inferno]

Tjoruy
Tjoruy casts Chant. His intention is to stay out of combat in order to maintain concentration upon the spell.

Hey Pulp.
Fyi, Chant takes 10 rounds to cast. If you'd like to change your action, feel free. Thanks.

[Pulpatoon]

Oof. I reckon this will be over one way or the other in 10 rounds, right?

Inferno Are the bats hovering in place or are they in constant motion circling around each turn to attack?

Hovering in place.

Sorry, Scott308. It's been three and a half days. Gotta keep moving.

Hey, guys.

In a bit of last minute surprise travel for work, I will be flying around the entire, literal globe starting this Sunday, the 21st, until August 16th. I know my posting will probably get erratic, especially during the first two weeks of August, so the normal rules apply about not letting me hold up the action, etc...

[Inferno]

Mace attack: [1d20+2] = 14+2 = 16; dmg: [1d6+3] = 3+3 = 6

Tjoruy tries to force his opponent over the edge of the bridge.

Hi Pulp,
Now that they are no longer stricken in terror, pushing a beastman over the edge involves the infamous pummeling/grappling/overbearing rules from the DMG. Tremble now, dear reader.

For a push, I'll use the overbearing rules. Success means being pushed back instead of being knocked down and taking HP damage. The greater the 'effect' result, the more that one is pushed back.

But please note: your chance of success is affected by factors like the size, strength, and movement rate of the attacker vs those of the target. In each of these, your opponent has the advantage.

So you can strike with the mace to damage your foe, and we'll use your existing rolls.
Or you can try to push him off the edge. For that, I'll need 2 rolls of 1d100 please.
But you can't do both in one round.
How would you like to proceed?

I hear you. My longest travel experience for work has been to fly from newark to korea (west) - one day of meetings in korea and dinner - fly out the next day to ireland (west)- one day of meetings in ireland and dinner- fly out the next day for home (west again). 2 days of F2F meetings - 40hrs or so in the air circumnavigating the globe in a work week... Who said business travel wasn't extravagant?!?!

no thanks. it sucked.

[Pulpatoon]

Holy moly, I had forgotten that we were playing AD&D. I'll just go for a regular attack.

It's so strange, because the OD&D grapple system is beautiful in its simplicity, and the AD&D system is... well, we know that Gygax had manic phases later in his life.

[Inferno]

No problem Pulp.

Thanks for the notice, Pixie. Safe travels.

[ChubbyPixie]

Loche

The Pict attempts to steer the bat over and attack B8.

Miscellaneous roll: [1d20] = 13

This. Is. So. Metal.

For me it’s Korea->South Africa->Chicago->France->Chicago - so I’m going around one way, then going back. I’m trying to maintain a good attitude.

[Inferno]

Heavy Metal.

[Inferno]

That's not Metal.

No. I did manage to get it down to Korea->South Africa->France->Chicago - so that’s 16 hours less in the air, at least.

[ravenn4544]

Will be offline from this Sunday through the following Sunday (150 mile white water rafting trip through the grand canyon ). Please NPC as appropriate.

[Inferno]

Thanks for the heads up Raven!

[Inferno]

Hey gang,
Leaving for 7 days of summer vacation at the beach.
Let's pause the game here for now, and I'll start it up again next week when I'm back.
Have a great week, everyone.

[ChubbyPixie]

Perfect timing! Have fun.

I should be more able to regularly post about the time you're back.

[Inferno]

Sorry DadsAngry and Scott308. It's been three and a half days. Gotta move this along!
