Black Sails over Freeport [OCC]

[Karl Green]

Yes if you attack now, this is the surprise round, and you only get a partial action...

[OOC: One other thing I forgot to mention! I'd like my bag of tricks (the leather bag with my extra equipment in it) up here with Torren. Is that OK? I'll probably be wanting a sunrod before long.]

Sure that is fine. I will wait for a few more people to reply before 'making' your Move Silent roll

Torren stands and dips his free hand into his belt pouch. He withdraws something tiny and holds it in his outstretched hand, waiting tensely.

[OOC: Ready an action: Torren will cast Web when and if five or more of the creatures come out onto the main floor and can be caught. He will cast it in such a way as to block the doorway through which they've been entering. Question: how big a drop is it from the balcony to the floor?]

It is about a 10 or 12ft drop. I am not sure if you could see the door though from your present location. I am assuming that you were standing over the door on the balcony and that blocks a good view of the door. If you moved over around the corner (say going toward the balcony that runs North-South, part way up), you would have a prefect view of the doorway but you could not ready and action then...

You are correct about my position. My thinking is that if I center the spell on the piece of floor I can see, it is a 20-foot spread and will easily block the door as well. If I have to take a 5' step to the railing to do that, that's fine.

Sorry for the double post, but:

I just re-read the Web description. I had forgotten about the requirements for anchor points. I need a scale on the map or a ruling from you as to whether there are good anchor points for the spell. Maybe the stair bannister and the East wall. Actually, the spell is 40 feet across. I can probably get the entire Eastern half of the room. That would be fine.

The main room is 60 feet across from east to west and 40 feet long from north to south.

As much as I hate lowering my own attack rolls, I feel the need to point out that the party shouldn't be getting flanking bonuses for attacking flat-footed enemies.

Ok, then, I'll just wait until I get enough targets and center the web 20' in front of me (at floor level, of course) so it stretches all the way across the room north-south and covers everything from the east wall to the foot of the stairs, or thereabouts. I didn't realize the spell covered such a big area. If the critters are immobilized, it's Sneak Attack goodness!

I made all the spell names in my character links to the SRD descriptions for ease of reference. (And the character is linked in my sig).

Man you guys keep my on my toes I will have to look but I think the only one it would affect is Villard's shot outside although it was close... hmmm

*smack* Don't correct the GM (especially when it favors us)

Seriously, I didn't even see that. Good catch.
