Black Sails over Freeport [OCC]

Kewl, I have a couple of friends going there... well I will wait until tomorrow, but then I post

It's fine with me if you need to assume actions for Torren. I'm one of those who is less likely to post on the week-end. I can usually post at work, but on the week-end it's running around with the kids, doing yard work, yada yada yada.

Being responsible stinks

Anyway, the boards seem a little better now.

If I'm not around for awhile, feel free to assume actions for me. I'm one of those people with more free time on the weekends.

I have a few questions before I know what Zoraster will do next. You said the creature was 15' away, then it moved 15' closer. So is it in melee directly above me now? If it's not, can I climb the crossbeams to get to it? Would that be a move action, a climb action, or a 5' step? If it's a move, can I tumble? Do I have to make balance checks to manuever up here? If so, what DC?

Ok, that's enough interrogating for now.

Karl, how come the old ladies are not affected by the rain on their spot check?

Ah yea I did not explain that very well... the creature is right above you, within reach right now...the ceiling is about 8 feet about the base of the chandelier, so your head is about 3 and a half feet to the ceiling. The creature is a bit off from there as it has the strechy arms... The crossbeams are a foot or two about the level of the chandelier, but just a short hop for you.

Well now, they are BUT also they have something else that I am just not posting about (as it is not dark vision). I am just calling it Spot... more to come...

Can I hop onto the crossbeams as a 5' step? If not, can I tumble there? Would I be in melee range there?

How far above the ground are these crossbeams?

Also, I just noticed I made a glaring typo in my last post - I have less free time on the weekends, not more.

 

[Karl Green]

Yea the crossbeams are about a 5 foot hop from where you are; but while it would normally be just a step, up here I would not make it a free step (i.e. you would need to make a tumble DC 15 to avoid an AoO from the creature, just cause the movement involved). The chandelier is about 12 feet off the groun while the crossbeams are about 13 feet off the ground.

NO problem about the weekends... in fact that is when I have the least amount of time also. Both my wife and I work most of the weekdays and don't get to do much... so the weekends are "her" time

A question for Ferrix - how fast does Kitsch what to move down the hallway? Half speed no minus to Move Silent, normal movement speed -5 to Move Silent, any faster -20. Just wondering...

 

[Ferrix]

Normal speed -5, probably near a wall at all times.

Makes me feel more secure

Quick question, Villard will use a hit and run tactic, can I easily locate the sound of the other combat? I guess the place is quite dark inside? after shooting the arrow could I run up the stair silently (and hide there (assuming she doesn't have darkvision) hoping she will be attracted by the sound and light (sunrod) of the other combat, I could then attack her from the back.
