Roamers and Travelers (ooc and questions lV)

I always viewed it as dancing lights in the distance and burning hands. but that's me

[ravenn4544]

Maybe we should start a new thread somewhere -> How I've interpreted rules wrong my whole life.

[Inferno]

I think the weight of that thread would break the site!

[OGRE MAGE]

That was a fun little exchange.

[Inferno]

Sorry Socratic. That's four days. Events have overtaken us.

[Inferno]

Fyi, once you make a successful Save vs Spells, you don't need to Save again.

Other clarifications, from last round:

Kiri's intention is to leap from island to island, Mario Style, until he's close enough to launch an assault directly at the central eye. LMK what kind of rolls to make (if this is even possible). The gaps only look to be about 10 feet wide... how hard can it be?

It takes an Ability Check vs Dex on 1d20 to leap between islands. I rolled your Dex exactly.

Garrin shakes off the mind-bending assault. He charges at the emerging shape and attacks it, hoping to drive it back whence it came.

It didn't require a "charge" to reach one of Zargoth's infinite tentacles and sever it. So you may still charge in this combat if you want, fyi.
Leaping between islands takes an Ability Check vs Dex on 1d20 to avoid plummeting into the abysmal void. But Zargoth's tentacles may be attacked from where you are standing now.

Thanks.

In the unlikely event Cruloc makes his Save vs. Spells in the upcoming rounds, I suspect he would not need to make a Dex check because of his barbarian leaping & springing ability. With a running start, he can jump 15 + 1d4 feet.

True!

In times like these, it never hurts to check out your character sheet abilities, inventory, and magic items. Good luck, everyone!

[Yrkoon]

Nice one, Kiri! We can all move now...

Can Cruloc charge and make it to the central eye to attack this round?

[Inferno]

Can Cruloc charge and make it to the central eye to attack this round?

Yes. Thanks to his barbarian leaping ability, Cruloc can take the most direct path and reach Zargoth's great eye with one "charge."

For those without leaping ability:
Leaping across a 5 foot gap between islands takes an Ability Check vs Dex on 1d20 to avoid plummeting into the abyss. One successful roll will cover the entire journey to Zargoth, even if that journey takes two rounds.

Leaping across gaps smaller than 5 feet is allowed without an Attribute Check. (Each square on the map is 5 feet)

But Zargoth's tentacles may be attacked from where you are standing now, without jumping to another island.

Thanks.

Criminey, Xorxen! What a throw!

One more question, Inferno.

Cruloc charged in the previous battle against the evil cleric and his minions. I don't know if being transported through interdimensional space and time has affected the charge rule or not, but I reckon it was about 3 or 4 rounds ago that the Cimmerian last charged.

What say you?

[Inferno]

I appreciate your honesty. That was a different battle, on a different world. Charge away!

[Yrkoon]

Dang it! Kiri beats the barbarian to making the heroic image of fireman-carrying a half-naked babe out of a crumbling cavern!

Fantastic closing sequence, Inferno. Striking and colourful!

I’ve just been waiting to pounce on this heroic moment. We can take turns if you want.

[Urson]

"Cruloc! My name is Cruloc! I tell it to you that you may howl it in the void!"

He starts for the crumbling exit, pauses, then turns back toward the ebon infinitude of the chasm, and raises an eyebrow.

"There will be many there to howl it back to you."

Now That's an exit line! Kudos!

[Inferno]

Second that!

Fantastic closing sequence, Inferno. Striking and colourful!

Thanks, Yyrkoon. Appreciate it. But, as in all my games, I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants. Here it's H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard and Tom Moldvay. But thank you.

[Yrkoon]

I'll be honest - Cruloc has read a lot of Conan.

[Inferno]

This concludes 1982's 'The Lost City' by Tom Moldvay... and the game its 28 pages inspired. They sure don't write 'em like that anymore!

You've been an amazing group! I've enjoyed these four and a half years. Thank you for playing. I hope to play with you again soon. Thanks, everyone.

[Bluetongue]

Thank you for the invitation. It was short lived as a player but I enjoyed reading through the story from desert crawl to the end.

Fantastic and well done Inferno and to all the players.

If Loche levels up and you need a savage he is ready for more.

[DadsAngry]

Thanks for the game. I can't believe it's been four and a half years.
