    A Rather Odd Shovel [Judge: Bront]

    "Think, Warbray, think think think," says Keldar furiously. "We... we can't just kill him now, or Fallon will someday want to know who murdered Vlad Turket, and I suppose his body will bubble and melt or vanish into a cloud of smoke or a pile of maggots or something, and we'll have no way to...

    Swamp Trek III: The Search for Ter-raen

    No, that's it as far as I'm concerned. Gildrim will attack at +9, 2d6+5, 19-20/x2. His AC is 19 for this round since he attacked recklessly, but thereafter will be 23. Richard's correct numbers are +5, 1d10+13, 19-20/x2 (he's attacking two-handed and PAing for 5). I don't think that's strictly...

    OOC: 1d20+11=13. Ha. How about we just save some time, and you roll this out, covaithe?

    A Rather Odd Shovel [Judge: Bront]

    We seem to have hardly scratched the surface. Turket was one of our first and most obvious lines of inquiry (I can't imagine what would have happened if we'd attacked him when we first met him, at 4th level, with no wand). The Shovel has been nothing more than the macguffin to bring us to...

    A Rather Odd Shovel [Judge: Bront]

    "We underestimated him, for sure. But he underestimated us, too!" Keldar illustrates the point by rolling Turket over onto his face none too gently so he can check along his back. "And don't forget, you three had already used a lot of your spells just getting in here secretly. I always...

    "I think I'll look over the rest of the house for any more magic," says Fimble, heading for the stairs. "Mmm hmm," says Keldar, still squinting and prodding at Turket's unconscious form. "If there's nothing interesting in the papers in his study, maybe he keeps the important stuff in a hidden...

    "Wait! Leave the hair ribbon for now," Keldar says, staying Tarag's hand. "I had thought to force him to tell us what he knows. But if he is what Tommy says he is, then he's too dangerous to deal with. We ought to kill him. But if we kill him here alone in his home, we'll have just murdered...

    A Rather Odd Shovel [Judge: Bront]

    Tarag stabilizes Turket with a CminW (Detect Magic). Assuming he begins with the CLWs and Keldar, then he heals Keldar for 13+6=19, then can top him off with an orison (Light). He converts his last available 1st level spell and Status for 8+17=25 for himself. Everyone is fully healed. He's...

    A Rather Odd Shovel [Judge: Bront]

    "A devil! You say it so matter-of-factly. Could he not be some kind of evil priest or wizard?" Keldar asks. "But there may be something untoward. When I kicked him, what should have been his tender portions felt like iron." "And what about his fireball, and that thing?" he says, indicating...

    A Rather Odd Shovel [Judge: Bront]

    Disappointment and relief pass over Keldar's face in quick succession as Turket finally falls. He stands on one foot, obviously considering giving Turket's giblets another working over with the boot for his own satisfaction, but instead he sheathes his weapons and slips nimbly through the grease...

    Oh! I'd missed that. I didn't give the first approval, did I? If not, I'll take a look later today. Yes, he brings death and misfortune wherever he goes. In a way, it's quite cool that his story should come to a premature end, hapless plaything of the not as benevolent as commonly thought...

    Yeah, I still don't get it. If discovering that your PC had stepped outside without your knowledge was enough to stir up activity, it'd go like this: Jonah: the room is empty! player A: I come back in. player B: I come back in. Possibly I say something interesting worth responding to. player...

    A Rather Odd Shovel [Judge: Bront]

    OOC: oh, bollocks. I've killed us all. Can I keep those rolls for my attack this round? :uhoh: Having blown that Balance roll, Turket needs to make yet another DC 16 Reflex save to avoid falling. With the Grease placed where it is, Keldar would be in J9, not K10. Fimble's Spellcraft...

    "Turkey, you're glittering," says Keldar, in as deflating a manner as he can manage under the circumstances. He lashes out with as skilled an attack as any he's made.Could we, perchance, see a DC 19 Concentration check for Turket to cast his SLA defensively? It's about time he rolled a 1. If...

    A Rather Odd Shovel [Judge: Bront]

    Not quite. Tarag charged from O6 and the nearest square from which he could attack is K9 (three down, four across), not K10 (four each way). With Tommy in J3, he places the Grease in I10-J11, across the threshold. Keldar then would attack from J9. Turket can't take a 5' step within the grease.

    OOC: fine. Gildrim will stand up, remain standing from now on at AC 23, and keep hitting the hydra at +8, 2d6+5 until one or the other is dead. This round: hit 21; dmg 13.

    Swamp Trek III: The Search for Ter-raen

    On the one hand, being attacked for half of 2d6+4 is a lot less dangerous for Richard and Gildrim than five lots of 1d10+3. On the other: Making a double move through opponents' squares doing slam damage to everyone in the way is almost exactly the mechanic of the special ability Trample...

    Tavern - City of Orussus, The Red Dragon Inn 2010-17

    A side door opens and Joe Smith and the usual tavern patrons troop back in. "So that's the new sparring room, then. Just took out a wall. Got enough private meeting rooms that don't see use," says Joe shortly.What the hell? Even if no one's been talking, you can't arbitrarily move other...

    Turket cannot dodge Tarag's strongly swung morning star. Quick on his feet, even in Tommy's grease, he manages to stay upright.Turket's Reflex save 24. Enworld won't load for Rae at the moment. He asked me to post this partial update.
