[Adventure] The Paper Chase (Judge: renau1g)

[rb780nm]

"do we go up stealthily, or in our usual brash fashion?" kal'Tarron asks.

[sblock=ooc] We need to determine an order for mounting the stairs. kal'Tarron is happy to lead the way if the party wants. Baracus might be a better choice (who is least squishy here?)[/sblock]

 

[Antithetist]

[sblock=OOC]Baracus and kal'Tarron have equal AC, but Baracus has more hp and more surges.

On the subject of Baracus, Cleverusername hasn't posted in two weeks, here or anywhere else on EnWorld. He mentioned health problems, so that might have something to do with it. One way or the other, I'll NPC the character for now, and hope that he's able to come back and take over at some point.

I'll move things along this evening, with Baracus in the lead. Speak up before then if you have an opinion on where your character should be in the marching order, or an objection to storming on upstairs at this point.[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]unless anyone has objections to using the NPC as a human shield )), I think baracus should go first, followed by kal'Tarron, then I'm not sure - Mythra maybe, incase we need some controlling done...

[sblock=OOC]
Mythra should go last. He only has 2 surges left, and the lowest AC and hit points. He's been in the action a bit too much already.

Grys can go second or third. He has a high AC and several different area effect powers.

I'm fine with any order, if we get ambushed from behind Mythara will be in trouble however [/sblock]

 

[MetaVoid]

Mythra should NOT go last. If we get hit from behind, he will mourn more then his two surges. Fastest melee character should go last. I would stay second or third as possible or if both places are taken I'll go last to protect the mage

The steps are steep and uneven, worn by the passage of many feet in years long past. At the sound of the party's footsteps on the stone stairs, there is a sudden fluttering of leathery wings from somewhere above.

The staircase ascends for about fifteen feet before opening into another corridor like the one below. About halfway along there is another staircase on the right, leading up once more. Further on, the passage makes a left turn.

EDIT: Cross posted with you MetaVoid. I'll swap Orsik and kal'Tarron's positions in the marching order next round if both of you are amenable to that, it doesn't matter for this round since nothing is trying to eat you.

 

[rb780nm]

[sblock=ooc] I'm cool with swapping kal'Tarron and Orsik[/sblock]

 

[MetaVoid]

What good lightning bolt formation. Luckily there are fairly small number of line effects in 4e

What's that aura/border around Orsik?

 

[Antithetist]

[sblock=Orsik's Aura]That's my bad, it's just the box that comes up if you select a token on maptool. It's showing thanks to my highly sophisticated map-making process of doing a maptool screendump into Paint, blacking out the relevant areas, and then saving the result as a jpg. [/sblock]
