Adventure: Three Queens in Allaria (DM: BenBrown, Judge: Covaithe)

[rb780nm]

Sound of Stone plants his spear int he wood of the bridge. Using the leverage, he launches a kick at the ant, but again the insect ignores his blow. However, the momentary calm allows him to quickly re-knot a damaged rope

OOC: Move J20 1d20+8=13, 1d10+6=15 Cranes wings on Ant in front of Sound of Stone Tie off (1d20+12=30) sucess, repair one point of damage

I15 is hit for 9 and has to save against being teleported off the bridge. I15 ant save vs teleport
19(1d20) = 19 succeeded, so it stays where it is.

OOC: I don't think the ant would get a save if it's a teleport. You get a save if forced movement would move you into hindering terrain or off an edge, but teleporting someone doesn't fall under forced movement according to the compendium:

Movement that a creature is compelled to do, specifically a pull, a push, or a slide. A creature can be moved in other ways, such as through teleportation, but only pulls, pushes, and slides are technically forced movement.

Zardi howls at the ant that just tried to bite him, and brings his axe down on the great ant's body.

He looks back for a brief moment to see if he can tie off one of the broken ropes of the bridge. He fumbles with a rope for a second, but gives up when it becomes apparent that he can't tie a one-handed knot.

Muttering something about "stupid ropes", he then turns back to the ant and prepares himself for the next attack.[sblock=Actions]Standard: Howling Strike vs. Mandible 4 (1d20+10=29, 1d12+1d6+6=17) Hit for 17 damage

OOC: BB, another quick question - I succeeded at the "Spot The Weak Points" check last round - did that +2 bonus go to the very next person who tried to repair the bridge (Pharodeys), or does it go to my next check (which I just failed by 2)? Either way is fine, just wanted to clarify. Thanks!

Tyris runs past the ant in the middle of the bridge ahead of him toward the ones further along, slashing at the nearby ant on his way by, missing in his rush to get past. He then attempts to tie off some of the ropes that were chewed apart by the ants, but fumbles them and can't get them knotted.[sblock="actions"]Standard: Running Slash vs BMA4 Reflex - Move to H18, make the attack as I get to the last square (no OA because of power) - 1d20+9=12 Miss, even after adding the CA from flanking I forgot to include in the roll.

Jarro quickly tied a make-shift knot to strengthen the bridge; he surprised even himself, fashioning some unknown (to him) knot. "Dis a 'dred knot," he proclaimed, before rushing another enemy.

Like a red-mad bull, he charged sword first into the horde of ants. He drove the point of his sword straight through the Big Mandible's head and out the other side. As he wrenched the blade free, the ant burst apart, spraying him with bile and gore.

"Run ya durty Bumbaclots! Run b'fore I kill all'a'ya like dis won!" he shouted.

[sblock=Adventure: Get Me to The Church on Time]
1. Lord Adelin Mallaby recruits me and some other adventurers from the Tavern. He asked for protection, on a trip to Allaria. He is to be wed to Elena of Terconis, daughter of the Count of Terconis. According to tradition, the wedding must take place at the ancient chapel of the Terconis family, and the chapel in Count's Crovale lies in the high hills of old Allaria. The lady and the Count are already there.
2. The adventurers board Starlight's Veil, Mallaby's brig. The ship is built for speed, not cargo or battle.
3. Intended Path: Land at Ristaren (100 miles south of Fromish), and make our way up the old highway to here. A mile or two off the highway is the village of Achirem, which is still thriving in the midst of rough country, so they say. From there we cross Derianis ridge, and then down to Crovale. The last part through the hills may be dangerous.
4. We land at Ristaren, and it is a small, poor town.
5. We killed a bunch of spiders.
6. We arrived at Achirem, where Kelvan told us to watch out for:
a. Bramble scar: some kind of trap/pit thing we can't avoid.
b. Hzaka Raiders
c. Ismene: Local robin hood bandit type. Lady, with a band of rugged ladies.
7. Get Jumped, or try to Jump, some Hzaka Raiders.
8. Meet up with Ismene's band, but managed to talk our way through it.
9. Encounter: Angry Bear, Angrier bees, and a hungry frog. Graval got eaten by a frog, but Spider saved him.
10. Meet with Ismene and convince her to give us safe passage if we help her take on a local Goblin raider.
11. Launch surprise attack on Goblin tower. Climb to roof and take out archers. Jump in the tower, and find more hobgoblins.
12. Run in to some creepy mushroom field. Attacked by big mushrooms.
13. Stop to rest in an abandoned (?) charcoal burner's hut.
14. Get to Church: wife/father-in-law sent Lord M on a wild goose chase, and don't want to marry him after all.
15. Find out true love Ismene is kidnapped, and we go to her rescue. Fight a bunch of goblins.
16. Rescue Ismene from dirty goblins, give lord mallaby a chance at true love, and collect rewards.

OOC: Save against being teleported: it comes under the rules for being forced into hindering terrain (Rules Compendium, page 207). Being forced expressly includes being teleported, and hindering terrain expressly includes being forced to fall.

OOC: The quote I posed saying that being teleported does NOT count as forced movement was directly from the online compendium. Under teleportation it actually specifically says that being teleported against your will does not count as forced movement.

GM: Here's page 213 of the Rules Compendium under Teleportation: If arriving in the destination space would cause the target to fall or if that space is Hindering Terrain, the target can immediately make a saving throw. On a save, the teleportation is negated, otherwise the target arrives in the destination space. That's actually in the online compendium too, now that I look at it.

OOC: Gotcha. I see it now, I was just looking at the Forced Movement and Hindering Terrain stuff since that's what was being mentioned. I didn't read all the way through teleportation, just saw that it said it wasn't forced movement.
