An apology, and a question
In the middle of writing the udpate concerning the battle between Jirlai and Jansson, I was rereading the earlier posts to find the halfling's init.
Of course, I passed over the various posts for actions of those outside the wall of ice last round. The one right before I posted caught my attention - Dalamar's.
Then, I realized it - I had screwed up. Seriously, screwed up.
If the AC had been there, not only would it have gotten its normal two attacks on Jirlai, it also would have gotten an AoO on him when he used the staff. That would have certainly had a major impact, assuming that the AC hit - which, with three attacks, it had a good chance of.
...thus, I am very, very sorry that I did not see that. I would especially like to apologize to Dalamar, as he probably felt that I was ignoring his post altogether.
My initial reaction when I saw that just a little while ago was to rewrite the post. However, by now, there are two responses to the post - that may or may not make sense if the battle update was changed.
...
Therefore, I give you, the players, a choice. Do you want me to rewrite the update, to include the AC that Syld was supposed to have created, so that it is accurate to the actions posted - or leave it the same, so that the flow of the game doesn't change?
Personally, I would like to modify it, as it isn't fair to Dalamar that his action was ignored. However, as it would be unfair to the group - and those who posted a response to the update - if I changed the events of the round, thus making their posts illogical, I am leaving the decision up to the group.
Do I redo the battle update, or not? I leave it up to you.
