Ah-shahran moves up next to Freggo and pats him on the shoulder. Looking a bit winded there, young man. Might want to take a moment to catch your breath. He lowers his voice a bit. I'm afraid I'm running out of tricks, here. Meanwhile, Gorm makes a brief appearance at Velani's side...

Ah, I was wondering why you didn't just stand--second wind. I figured I'd say something in character about it ;) t~

I'm good with it as a stunt, but I do think it should require a skill check. Have you ever actually tried to run full tilt through a door? Even with a door that's designed to open easily, it's a questionable proposition to do it without slowing and losing time. Here in a dungeon, with a small...

I don't see anything in the RC to back that up. As soon as he starts running, he grants CA and takes a -5 to hit until the start of his next turn. But I don't see a restriction on actions before he takes the Run action. t~

Oh, Freggo. Ah-shahran shakes his head. I know you like Velani, but really, imitation is kind of inappropriate right now. Gorm, see if you can get him up! Gorm materializes and licks at Freggo's face, then turns to Velani, wags his tail, and leaps across Freggo's body, briefly distracting...

Speaking of rules, a couple of quibbles.... How did the Goblin make it as far down the corridor as it did? Standard to shoot, move to the door, minor to open the door, ??? to move down the hall. Were you allowing a minor action in the middle of a move action, running a narrative exception, or...

Agreed! Special thanks to Goonalan since he posts more than the rest of us combined during combat :)

Ah-shahran descends into the room and sees Velani on the ground. What, napping already? Kids and discipline these days, I tell you.... ON YOUR FEET, SERGEANT! That ought to snap her out of it. Ah-shahran chuckles as his hands make swirling motions, summoning images of Gorm that snap...

With a *wuff*, Gorm's figure dissolves, forming an attenuated line that aims at Groucho's heart. Faster than thought, Kyalia launches an arrow, trying to follow the line. From the top of the stairs, Ah-shahran's voice is barely audible to those entering the room: We must clear the way to get...

larryfinnjr hasn't had a combat with us, so he presumably wasn't aware of our habit of posting in order. He stated that his action was set for after the surprise round. I figured he was delaying during the surprise round and effectively giving up his surprise action to go first during regular...

That sounds correct to me. My understanding: Kyalia can sneak ahead outside of combat. Once she Twin Strikes (or uses Hunter's Quarry), that initiates the surprise round, and uses up her action in the surprise round (so I assume she'll Twin Strike). Then each of us gets 1 action in...

I grant everyone a +2 bonus to initiative; looks like you applied a +1 bonus. Unless I'm missing something, everyone should be 1 point higher on initiative--too early to say whether that matters or not, since we haven't seen enemy initiative yet :-)

*Did we pick a leader? I'd be happy to give direction in combat, if you'd like. Why don't you sneaky people move a bit closer, and we'll time our headlong rush down the stairs with your attacks. Oh, and intimidating challenges and battle cries, too.* As Ah-shahran whispers, Gorm ghosts down...

My preference is the Group Checks rules introduced in Essentials (Rules Compendium, p. 128; Heroes of the Fallen Lands, p. 283; Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms, p. 281). Basically, everyone makes a Stealth check vs. highest enemy passive Perception, and if at least half the group succeeds, the...

By the way, I'm assuming that I have one of the Everburning Torches, since I don't currently carry anything else during combat. I'll pick up a staff within a level or 3, but even then I can use it one-handed until I need it for the occasional melee attack (which will wait on Bracers of Mental...

Ah-shahran cocks his head toward the stairs as Gorm materializes next to Freggo. What's that? Goblin voices, goblin orders floating up the stairs. They may not be on guard above, but they have guardians below. With a glance at Kali, he continues, Stealth is decidedly in order. I don't...

Ah-shahran quietly follows the party, seemingly distracted by the view of the castle, and gazing abstractedly around the clearing. As his glance absorbs every detail of the area, he softly mumbles Down, down, down the stairs, the goblins and the captives. Whither light, in dead of night...

Ah-shahran's attention had a different focus today. Trusting the others to keep the path, he kept his eye on his companions. His rambling today consisted of humorous anecdotes and wise experience, timed to lift spirits whenever they began to flag, and retune concentration when it began to...

Ah-shahran mostly helps Kyalia with tracking, with an eye on the map to note any deviation. At times he summons Gorm to "help" with the tracking. He also rambles about the wildlife, plant life, and terrain. Occasionally, he'll mix in an encouraging word to the various members of the party--of...

Obviously there are other ways to find it, but: Rogue's Gallery. t~
