Cave of the Spiders OOC

How far away is everyone from me? I'm wondering if I can catch everyone inside a Bless or something.

You think if you step out of the tree line (5-foot step) you might catch the scouts in a Bless. To clarify (all measurements are along the ground, regardless of its slope):

Ery and Donnybrook are about 30 feet from the top of the slope, about 50 feet from the tree line. That means everybody else is about 80 feet from the top of the slope. All distances will count double for movement due to the slope and unstable ground.

Sirius has readied an action. I still need Grimble's action and then things will start to happen.

Sorry about the delay, there've been some hurricane preparations around here.

A couple questions:
Why would my Init be +7? +1 Dex, +4 Improved Init. What am I missing +2 from?
The tree line gave us cover or concealment or something when we were hiding--does it still do so?

D'oh! I was looking at your con (+3) instead of your dex. Sorry.

If you get back into the trees (as your post says you will) you'll have cover (+4 to AC). You will not have concealment unless you move farther back, which will give the bugbears concealment from you as well.

Where are you located that you're worried about the hurricane?

I'm in Houston. They announced school closes in 15 minutes, through Sunday. Looks like I'll be gone for a few days, at least.

Good luck to you. Take care.

Hi guys,

I'm off on a 2 week holiday with the family and probably won't be able to check back in until the 9th of October. Can I be NPC'd please?

Have fun, talk soon

Cheers

No problem. Jdvn1 is also out until Monday. I'm going to post the first full round of the combat today, then we'll see. If Lord Raven, Ranger Rick and Ferrix can keep posting tomorrow we'll continue, otherwise we'll wait for Jdvn1 to come back on Monday. I'll run Ery in the meantime.

D20Dazza: If you're around today: Ery obviously likes the magic missile wand (for good reason) but you can't sneak attack with it. You can't get SA damage on an attack that doesn't require a to-hit roll. If it were a wand of Scorching Ray (or even Ray of Frost) you could do it. Still want to use the wand?

 

[JimAde]

Lord Raven: The description for Arcane Eye is ambiguous, but since it doesn't list AC or HP I would assume the sensor can't be damaged (though it could be dispelled). However, we can easily sidestep the whole issue. Use a Move action to move the eye 30 feet straight up, which will take it out of the fireball AoE, then use a Standard action to cast the spell. You can still take the 5-foot step since you didn't use your Move action to actually move. All set. Spell will go off when I do the round, but that won't likely be until at least Monday.

Hopefully Jdvn1 won't be delayed any longer than that. It looks like Houston is going to get hit pretty hard. Best wishes to him and everybody there.

Thanks! The storm ended up not hitting Houston as hard as we though, which is good because we ended up not being able to leave. I've been crazy busy with preparations for the hurricane and now I'm gonna be busy with unpreparations, so I'll definitely be back on my posting schedule by... Thursday or Friday. Until then, spare posting, but some nonetheless.
