Lorena quietly crosses to the desk and studies the papers, trying to decide if they look important. She also examines the desk for drawers or compartments that might hide something of note.

At the prick of the rapier's tip, the giant flinches back, turning a potential deep wound to a shallow gash. He lets out a surprised bellow as... ...his companion takes arrows to the shoulder and arm. That giant also yells as he swats at the offending shafts. Taking advantage of the...

Lorena beckons to those below, and then enters the room, taking a moment to just examine anything obvious.

And the ambush is sprung! Gwenn 33 Deacon 27 Miranda 27 Enemies 27 Brook 23 Aelar 22 Wik 20 You have a surprise round, so 1 action only and the enemies grant CA (and will not act). After the surprise round we'll start normal initiative.

Lorena cautiously opens the door just a touch, trying to be silent in doing so.

Lorena turns back toward the group. *Stairs,* she whispers, *and a door. Come to the base of the steps, and I'll go up top.* She then slips quietly up the stairs and examines the door, checking for signs of traps, obvious locks, anything visible around the edges, and anything she can hear...

KAM is cheesy because its level 16 feature is insufficiently restricted, allowing any build that can prone at-will to reach baseline optimized striker benchmarks. A Wizard built to use KAM (and largely ignoring the "Wizard" part) can outdamage an optimized Vampire (unless you ignore the whole...

Technically, yes, this works. Harmony Blade's ability does not specify "free action", so the granted attack does not fall under the limitation on free action attacks in a turn. If you happened to be wielding the Harmony Blade in your off-hand and you were to crit on one of the granted attacks...

Incidentally, if you have a particular image you'd like to use for your character, post or link to the image in your Rogue's Gallery entry. I'll look there first when I go to make tokens for the PCs. t~

Anything that interacts with a creature, like Hunter's Quarry or Oath of Enmity, will spoil surprise. Activating stances and non-attacking abilities (like Deacon's armor) is not a problem. I have a map made and attached. Should be viewable with Open Office or Excel. I tried uploading to...

The group is somewhat spread out. Those on the near side will come within about 25-30 feet.

The above is absolutely correct. However, I've seen multiple DMs balk at the idea of making a creature hit itself, and a few who balked at the idea of forced attacks triggering a defender mark. Before you start play, you might want to talk to your DM and make sure that he's not going to...

With quick and decisive action, the group is able to conceal themselves before the giant patrol comes into view. Three bugbears with spears lead the scouting party, ambling along and making some pretense at scanning the area. Behind them, three hill giants with massive clubs lumber along...

"Let me take a look." Lorena moves stealthily down the corridor and examines the stairs.

I don't need specific items; looking good so far! t~

Per the earlier discussion, about 100 feet. If the main group acts on Wik's gestures, I'll need a group stealth from them, with +2 from Wik's "assist". Do you want to make your own rolls on group checks, or should I take care of it?

Speaking of treasure, I will be wanting wishlists from everyone. Feel free to post them here or PM them to me. t~

Pulling out some tools, Lorena attempts to release the latch and lever the door open far enough to be able to pull on the edge.

I really like this idea. Do you use this forum for those threads, or do you put them somewhere else? t~

Lorena studies the area, figuring there is likely a switch, plate, or similar mechanism to operate the hidden door.
