If a tree falls in the forest does it get a surprise round? I just mean that, shouldn't each side proceed on the assumption that they MIGHT be surprising someone on the other side? Furthermore, under that assumption, even if all of the targets that YOU know about are NOT surprised, there might...

Makes sense to me! Thanks for the explanation. It does get me thinking though... why ISN'T there always a surprise round? Who's to say there isn't someone in the next room who had no idea that combat was imminent, and is completely flat-footed? Seems like a flaw in the surprise...

Surprise round and readied actions? I think everything that is happening is fine, I just want to make sure I understand. It seems that two of the spidermen had readied actions to attack anyone that came in, and knew we were coming. Did they know exactly where we were, or just hear enough to...

If you look at the latest map, you can see the triangle for difficult terrain on H:11 and I:11. And my efforts with Velani revealed that H:12 is difficult terrain. That and the pattern of the webs leads me to believe that I:12 is most likely difficult terrain as well, but we'll have to see...

Right you are, sorry about that. I've corrected it. EDIT: Upon reflection, I'm not sure Ah-shahran can reach that spot. It looks to me like I:12 may be difficult terrain. I'll update Freggo's movement to indicate either scenario.

Updated Erasmus von Richten The only changed I ended up making was changing out the Censure of Unity in favor of Censure of Pursuit, which I was on the fence about before. With one less melee person, and the person with whom I was most likely to cooperate, it seems prudent. ====== Created...

Freggo follows... still a bit loopy Freggo is ready for the charge and troops in after his friends. Hearing Ah-shahran's comment about Ettercaps, he glances around, looking to see if there are any captives still alive... particularly if the captives happen to be princesses... Standard: Move...

Hehe, yeah that example was a bit tongue-in-cheek. The point being that we, as a group, don't have an identity beyond our current short-term goals.

Unless I'm misreading the map, it's quite possible. 1 step (if not difficult terrain) - I:11-H:12 2 steps - H12-G:11 1 step - G:11-G:10 1 step - G:10-F:9

Hmmm, I need to look at the group and make sure my character still makes sense. I had made the character with a Warlord friend in mind, and now we've lost our Warlord. Nuts...

Velani counts and pounces In the moments leading up to the attack, Velani prepares her mind to protect her allies. Then she holds up her sword and whispers, "On five we charge. One... two..." And then she charges into the webs toward the known foe. Prior to surprise round = Defender Aura...

I guess I'll volunteer to move Velani. RE: Group name: Seems like a discussion we should have after the adventure. Something like, "wow we saved the day, and we're all great friends now! But lo, we have discovered hints of other great evils. Shall we take up arms against them, and carry...

Freggo bravely stays behind his friends So we can have an optional surprise round if we so choose? Seems prudent to just get closer so we can maneuver a bit, movement is going to be killer. Freggo whispers to his friends, "Right, so... spider monsters... naturally. Be sure to only call them...

Freggo mellows Freggo starts as the door swings open, realizing that he had nodded off. He shakes his head a bit and gets up from the floor. He looks around, mumbling about how the fair maiden seems to have run off again. At the old man's questions, the group has a brief discussion on how...

Level 2 official I moved Freggo's level 2 info into the original post, so that there's no confusion. I also made a last-minute change to his utility power. He now has Host of Shields instead of the invisibility thing. It's hard to choose from so many good options. >_<

Great, let's go find that last fight. I'll add the (currently not useful but very useful in the future) healing potion to Freggo's sheet. Then we can sleep near that entrance to the lower levels and pounce on whatever shows its face. So um... I looked up the leveling rules in the PHP. There...

Freggo looks at Viator with wide eyes that slowly tear up. Then he throws himself at his comrade in an enthusiastic hug. He seems to nod off in mid-hug and proceeds to doze as Viator helps him to sit down, mumbling about making sure the maiden doesn't turn him into a frog. Don't worry...

Sounds like a vote for tacks A and B (see my post above). Clearing out this level and setting up defenses for the level below as we sleep. Sounds good to me. Anyone else have any input?

There's a rule for when you level up? I never really applied for us I guess, cause it was always just start of next session. :) Regarding sleep: what are our options? As I see it, we can: (A) Press ahead, maybe squeeze in one more true battle with Freggo fighting conservatively. Eventually...

Freggo definitely lost too much blood Freggo smiles blearily at Ah-shahran for his help in patching himself up. "Thanks... good as new... you know I love you right?" He addresses everyone in the room, "I love ALL you guys! You're the best! Really top notch folks! Saving the lava from the...
