Unspeakable Oaths (ooc and questions ll)

What, you don't want to return the "friendly fire" to Grothnak?

I considered having Telkis turn and fire directly at him - the way things are going it seemed like the highest chance of actually hitting the snake.

Reverse randomizer psychology, I like that.

Telkis
Quick, guys, the room is uncursed!!
I forget how we do crits... double damage? Whoohoo!

Double the rolled damage, as per the (Haunted) House Rules.

[Starbeard]

Map:
Each square is 5 feet. Movement in the tunnels is halved.
Only the illuminated areas, that were visible to any PC this round, are shown.
Red marks the dead or unconscious.

Combat:
The giant snake is slowed from the cold. Number of attacks is halved. -2 to hit, and to Initiative. No attack this round.
Zombies always attack last. No initiative needed.
Moogeye Poison save damage: [3d3] = 5 Moogeye saves and takes 5 hp damage
Z02 attacks Pelias as he falls back: [1d20+4] = 5+4 = 9, damage: [1d8] = 5 Misses.
Z03 attacks Bo as he falls back: [1d20+4] = 20+4 = 24, damage: [1d8] = 2 Critical hit for 4 hp.
Avril heals Bo: [1d8] = 5 Avril heals Bo for 5 hp.
Z03 attacks Pelias: [1d20] = 18, damage: [1d8] = 5 Hits.

Just double checking, as this is the first time I've played a monk and there's a good chance I've just misinterpreted it. In the PHB it says that monks take no damage if they make their saving throw, yes? (p. 30, 3 paragraphs from the end)

[Inferno]

Starbeard, you're right! Sorry. My mistake. Thanks for reminding me.

I corrected my post.

[OGRE MAGE]

It's time to make our annual trip down to Garycon!

I will most likely still be able to check in periodically but, if I don't, you'll know why.

Back on Monday.

Hey,

Both Telkis and Grothnak have expressed their desire to get into this fight.

If Pelias and Ingrid step back and away from each other, you could grow your front to three abreast, and the zombies' front line to two abreast. This movement is so minor that I would bypass the free attack at +4 that comes with a full disengagement from combat.

Your third slot could be Telkis with either Grothnak or Moogeye behind him with a polearm.

Just a thought.

[Fulci]

Thanks for the advice, I think we should do that.

Then it's only a single attack to post, right?

[Inferno]

Yes, please. Let's go with one round of attacks if you guys are altering your tactics. Thanks.

[Starbeard]

I'm happy with having Moogeye in the second rank with a polearm. She's kind of packed away in the corner there behind Ingrid, will she have to trade spots with Telkis before he can move up?

[Inferno]

Starbeard: Sorry, I already followed your IC post and placed Moogeye next to Ingrid, as you wrote. Once I opened the map, I saw that the wide cavern could actually hold 4 across (Moogeye, Ingrid, Telkis and Pelias, with Grothnak attacking from behind Telkis as usual). So everyone was able to do what they requested IC.

Because I've rolled the dice accordingly (before your OOC post), I can't allow you to change your action. Sorry. I'll post my DM update shortly.


AleBelly: Once we changed tactics, I said let's just roll one round of attacks. Because the confusion was caused by me, next round you may opt to use your stored, second roll, or just roll again instead. Up to you. Thanks.

[AleBelly]

I saw this after I posted. I think it's fairer to use a new roll - I don't like PCs knowing the outcome of something before they take the action (even though it would really have helped here! ).

Both rolls hit. One did 1 hp of damage, the other 2.

The dice remain cursed... except for Telkis. He must be one of them.

[ChubbyPixie]

Kill the GNOME! It's our only chance!

[OGRE MAGE]

I know that his player killed a few brain cells this weekend.

[ChubbyPixie]

True. All true.

Pelias is such a wimpy paladin.

No worries, I was actually asking in terms of next round, but four abreast works!
Not sure if I'd have the guts to have Moogeye attacking from a back rank anyway, seeing as how well that's been going for Grothnak and Telkis.

[Fulci]

Inferno, you are great at finding the most hideous zombie pictures... I stopped checking the "Graven Images" gallery, because I definitely don't want to see some of them twice
