[Defunct] A Dark and Stormy Night

Mark Chance · Mar 4, 2009

I'll update this game tonight. Sorry for the hold up. My computer's been wonky.

Mark Chance · Mar 7, 2009

Okay, so I overestimated how quickly I'd get my next post up. At least I had high hopes for myself.

That said, the next post is up. Xenon and Gordon made short work of the skeletons.

Hooray for preparations. Now if we can just find a way down . . . and keep being prepared. This easy victory might make Dacen get a little overconfident

The new turn is up, BTW. The party's been attacked by an ogre. Xenon has born the brunt of the assault so far. We've paused the first round to give Xenon a chance to react to be crushingly bear-hugged by a very strong monster.

Hrmmm oops I guess.

To me it didn't matter that much. Having him go 'first' next round would be effectively the same, so that's sort of what I assumed.

I'd just think it's best to speed up play-by-posts as much as possible. Usually best not to put yourself in a place were your waiting for one person unless you really have to.

No problema. It'll all work out.

The ogre gets an attack of opportunity on anyone who is in 10-ft of his range. The Enlarge Person spell might not have happened.

I made 2 more posts finishing up Page 12.

Darn for some reason I thought Xenon was first in the initiative order, and would have already drawn the attack of oppurtunity by standing up.

However, I believe I get cover from the pillar. Cover prevents attacks of oppurtunity (p. 151 PHB). This is a rule I actually forgot.

Seeing as you actually went after Norim (and the enlarge spell) I'm not sure how I (it be an ad hoc judgement for me) or Mark Chance would rule your ability to attack and then move away 5ft. Norim is probably providing cover for the ogre.

Probably not important. I don't think the ogre is in good shape.

Go team. I just hope nothing else rushes into the room.

(Thanks for pointing that out by the way Giant Boy.)

You know that you can make a concentration check to cast defensively = avoiding an AoO?

Thondor · Mar 30, 2009

Of course, but my chance of getting a 16 on a concentration check isn't that great, and I don't want to lose the spell.

I could also take a five foot step back, then cast the spell. I just thought it wouldn't be necessary. Guess I'll post something about that in the in game thread.
