Look, what does it matter if I'm not happy?
I'm glad you had the balls to say something, Seap, but really - clockwork can do no wrong, right, guys?

It's not like the kobold was within range of a certain charging, flying dragon-man...

but actually i think it's going to take me a week or 2 to care about it - the too-long delay has kind of sucked the interest out of me for the game, which I'm sure is best for all involved.

Had the kobold remained, it would have probably run to the west at full speed taking it into the temple.

Maturak's goals are not yours. I sincerely doubt he would have chased after a kobold when Hawkeye is helpless and an easy kill. Martok may have attacked the kobold or not. In either case, you would not have benefitted by them. The whole point of the random events is to make the battle unpredictable.

Hawkeye is helpless, to everyone but Maturak. If Maturak attacks him, Hawkeye will be in the AMF and able to act. Unfortunately, he won't be able to run from Maturak nor use any potions and stuff. I rather hope that's how it goes down. I'm curious to see what happens.

Good point. Hawkeye is in a tight spot. But I doubt Maturak would have chased after a kobold that couldn't have helped him in any case.

Rale Hawkeye is in a tight spot, indeed. But at least Maturak cannot coup de grace him. Macallan, on the other hand, can. He would have to get free first and find him, though. I suppose just about anybody could teleport there and do the job.

clockwork - everything you said is completely correct.
I know that Maturak's actions are his own, and that the kobold could have moved in any direction.

However, the fact that you can talk about different actions that could have been done proves that those actions should have taken place.

In other words - why are you posting the options of what COULD have happened in this thread, instead of posting what DID happen on the Game of Death site?

All I wanted to say is that you weren't going to benefit from the kobold in any case whatsoever, so bitching about the kobold disappearing is moot.

The kobolds and golem disappeared more so that I had less stuff to keep track of and that they weren't altering the game in a meaningful way. You had a chance to stop/affect the kobold. For example, had you asked the kobold to simply destroy the wall or teleport both of you (which he could have done) out of the cage, you could have succeded. However, you asked him to give back a stone which is something he would never agree to.

What I said was confusing?
hmm..
(I just thought for a few minutes of how else to word it to try to get across to you, but I can't think of anything better so I guess I won't

)

If you really expect me to believe that you would have let me benefit from the kobold's actions, after artificially making it immune to everything my character can do OR did, I don't think you've been following things that closely.

So I guess I didn't second-guess you correctly, or find the things you WOULD let me do instead of the things you wouldn't allow me to?
In retrospect, WHY would the kobold have done something for me (let me out of the Cage) out of the goodness of his heart, when my plan (which benefitted him) didn't work?

I don't know... everything I sent to you, everything I had Jade do, you presented some reason why it didn't work, so....think about it from my side, for a second : why would I think anything else than you didn't want her out of the Cage?

think about it from the "kobold's" position.
"hmm... expensive Vibrant Purple ioun stone or four crappy dull gray ioun stones? I KNOW WHICH I WANT"

compared to the other situation.
"hey, use this ioun stone- AND KEEP IT- so that i can then go get more stones. why, I never thought of that suggestion, miss jade, because i am a stupid kobold! i will do that now!"

clockworkjoe · Jan 11, 2003

From the Kobold's viewpoint:

1. Goal: Collect all non grey Ioun Stones. Stay alive. Use collected Ioun Stones to survive and gather more stones. Keep Ioun Stones at all costs. I don't care about the gladiators except that they can kill me and they have the stones that I want.

2. I am in a forcecage. I have several stones that would allow me to escape (gaseous form, dimension door, plus my new dinsitingerigate) I'm not sure which one I should use.

3. If Jade were to suggest that I use dim door or disint. I will because then she will be less likely to attack me in the future. I will not suggest since I don't care about her and don't want to wait to negotiate. Otherwise, I will use gaseous form since that will afford me some protection (DR 20/+1).
