Avron knows something that may help depending on what he does.

Grrr. Was at least hoping to be able to touch Ashlyn and Avron and get us the h#ll out of dodge, or at least Avron and myself to the stairwell.

But full round saves >> Marot.

Sorry for my absence. Moved into new house from apt and no internet for 4 days. Catching up now and tonight.

Stormwind · 17th June 2009, 09:43 AM

@EvolutionKB: Congrats on the new house. Hope the move went well.

A couple of details:
- note that Ashlyn is currently standing in E'3' so it might be difficult for Avron to move there

- just to be certain that's it not an oversight on your part, I believe you still have a standard action available (you've used a move action to stand, and a free action to take a step).
- and in case you missed it, stonegod mentioned here that Avron should know something that might help us with the current situation. I'm not sure what he's referring to but I would guess he's referring to the notes here.

Hope that's useful

Thanks Stormwind. 3.5 and 4E running together, was thinking 5' step is a move action. I updated my IC post.

Rolling a 2 doesn't leave you much room for an AP, especially when not a rogue.

They form a whirlwind of chains around it that moves with it. It is an area affect (close burst 1 in 4E speak) that require a save. They also will threaten anyone that attacks it in melee.

Yeah ... Ashlyn has good saves but 1's and 2's are still not much fun ... except from the DM's point of view

Ok ... thanks

Update Tues night hopefully. Got to go to (and hopefully be excused from) jury duty 2.5hrs away tomorrow.

Remember, follow Homer Simpson's advice "The trick is to say you're prejudiced against all races."

A reminder: Ashlyn + Avron up upstair; everyone sans Tessa/Jarrith up downstairs.

Oops ... thought we were waiting on downstairs and missed that Ashlyn was up ...

Ok ... actions posted.

@EvolutionKB, s@squ@tch: I think I see an approach that might allow us to deal with this and survive. If we focus on the stone thing first (I think Ashlyn can take it down in a couple of rounds given that it's moderately wounded now), with Avron keeping the chain thing slowed and Marot teleporting us about so that the stone thing has to move and attack, and the chain thing is too slow to get to us. That should mean that Ashlyn is the only one taking damage and with any luck we can then heal up before we deal with the chain thing.

Stormwind · 11th July 2009, 02:02 PM

@stonegod: Does Ashlyn have LoS to G? i.e. can she attack the stone creature?

Can be seen, but has superior cover (spiral stairs are not particularly well designed for fighting *up* them... that's kinda the point

)

@All: I'll going to be traveling from tomorrow, all through next week. Unfortunately I will have limited internet access during that time.

s@squ@tch · 17th July 2009, 07:17 AM

The upstairs crew is in need of someone who can deal a lot of physical damage, as Avron and Marot won't be able to affect the chain-monster (except to slow it -- as Marot has 3 uses of Eldritch Admixture - which can be used as electrical)

The other one is almost gone, I would expect, if not, an admixed blast from Marot might finish it off.

Depends on how things go, we (Marot/Avron) might have to start healing our Lady (meatshield) so she can go toe to toe with the chain.

Stormwind · 17th July 2009, 09:57 AM

Once the stone creature is down (hopefully this round), then I figure that Ashlyn can engage the chain thing whilst the other two heal her ... however, it might depend a bit of what reach the chain creature has, that might cause some problems ... hence why I suggested that Marot and Avron heal up

Another option is that Ashlyn uses sacred healing to give herself fast healing 3, and we hope that the chain thing is not living, i.e. that its a construct or something

Departure in about 2 and a half hours ... I'll try to post as much as I can over the next week. Will be back on the 27th regardless.

Khensu's on his way upstairs. If he can find you, he can tank the chain creature.
