Unutterable Blasphemies (ooc and questions lV)

[Inferno]

I use photoshop to modify existing rpg maps. It's not exactly made for this, but I'm comfortable with it.

[ChubbyPixie]

So good maps.

[Inferno]

Thanks Pixie.

Mouser swallows at the horrors before him. With little room to melee he weaves magical assistance to buy the group some time.

cast push at Z1 in an attempt to topple him and trip up those that are following it.

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.

[ravenn4544]

fair enough. With that, I'll wait to see what the positions are next round before I cast the spell. thanks!

Urdur realizes that his non-enchanted daggers will have no power over these walking dead. He knows that fire cleanses evil, but he does not want to risk throwing a flask of oil in such small quarters.

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.

[OGRE MAGE]

These could be "special" zombies. You know....like Strahd's?

[Scott308]

Ooh, is there a Deck of Many Things we can draw from, too?

[Inferno]

Hey gang. It's been three days. I'll let another day pass to give Brevos, Pip and Telkis the chance to post.

[Inferno]

He will examine the tortured form of the downed zombie beside him.

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.

[drpete]

Shoot, argh... alright, I'll fix it

[ChubbyPixie]

Hey gang. It's been three days. I'll let another day pass to give Brevos, Pip and Telkis the chance to post.

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.

[Inferno]

Remember: 1. smash zombies, 2. talk to mice.

Ha. Got it.

[Inferno]

Moving it along. Wolfpack, I NPCed Brevos this round. I hope that's okay.

[ravenn4544]

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?

[Inferno]

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?

[OGRE MAGE]

I will need to be away from the boards for the next few days.

If I am holding things up, feel free to NPC.

Thanks!

[Inferno]

Thanks for the heads up, OM. Good luck with the move!

"The thing, that Hoom had recognized, still lives." I think I missed something. What or who did Hoom recognize? Another town folk?

Hi Dads,
Last Monday, I 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:

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.

Clearly, Trithereon wishes us to allow these souls to be freed from the torment they currently face. He refused to drive them away, but he is totally cool with healing someone fighting them.

Hah. Good one.

[Inferno]

With so many going after the zombie strangling Brevos, Grothnak goes after the one on Telkis (Z4).

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.

[OGRE MAGE]

Thanks for the heads up, OM. Good luck with the move!

Thanks!

It definitely sucked, but I should be back on my normal posting pace now.
