Clutches of Evil - OOC Thread

[D20Dazza]

Daz, just a quick question for you - why has Bahruul suddenly switched to the axe all of a sudden? He used to be primarily a greatsword wielder. Not a problem, just curious more than anything.

I thought I'd been using the axe for quite awhile - he likes to keep in practice with both . So easy to misunderstand what is going on with the PbPs eh, when you raged me before I hadn't actually wanted to rage, I was being descriptive with my post and you misread it as kicking in the rage ability - I decided to just accept the fact as a couple of posts had passed before I read that Bahruul had kicked into the rage.

Keryth can have the flank, Bahruul is trying to avoid being hit by getting rid of the fighters weapons

when you raged me before I hadn't actually wanted to rage, I was being descriptive with my post and you misread it as kicking in the rage ability - I decided to just accept the fact as a couple of posts had passed before I read that Bahruul had kicked into the rage.

When did Bahruul rage? I realize a couple of days have gone by over Christmas - so I may be a bit rusty on the storyline. I remember Byntrou going into a rage in this last battle with the human fighter and the two goblin sorcerers. However, I don't remember Bahruul going into a rage - unless it was way back in the first battle in the cave here with Mirth, Garth, and Patrick (the three guards at the first tunnel entrance). Either way, if I do something like that just tell me. Typically I don't take things like that for granted.

As for Keryth having flanking, sounds good to me. Oh - and, no AoO for drawing a weapon. Typically there aren't, and this guy has at least a +1 BAB anyway. And he is flatfooted for Byntrou's and Keryth's actions for Round one, but not for Bahruul's since he beat Bahruul in init.

Me too.

All I can say about Bahruul’s sundering is...glad I didn’t take a weapon as one of my items.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Yes. That is very true. Especially when he goes two handed and power attacks. Weapon hadness and low HP doesn't stand much chance against a two handed power attack that actually hits.

Although - there is the typical argument of ruined treasure. And - the first sundering attempt he did roll a critical so imagine what he would've done had he aimed for the fighter!

 

[unleashed]

Yes Bahruul stop killing their weapons, as they're continuing to hurt Keryth anyway.

Okay, I have no problem at all picking up from where we were in game. I didn't back up, but keeping a fluid record of the travels was not really my great desire anyway. The high points of the story are what is important, and any other details can either change (like names of inns, minor NPCs, etc) or you all can help me remember them if they were significant enough to oyu to remember. So in short, I'm not terribly worried over the lost posts. No biggie. Unfortunately, Keryth's and Byntrou's sidequests were totally lost in the process, unless someone has them and would like to post them. Barring that, we'll just have to go on memory there.

If everyone can check in here so that I know you are all aware EnWorld is back up and running ... we'll get started again. I'll post a "forced cutscene" recapping the story arc from where the database has been backed up to the part where we were in the story. any other details can be added as necessary or remembered.

Well fortunately I keep a log...so I have everything that Keryth was involved in (anything which is not part of a post where he was present will be missing though, as will any speaking he doesn't understand). How much would you like me to post?

Edit: I'm also searching the Google caches for pages.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

You are free to post as much as you have, really. Of course, as much as you have time to do so as well.

I guess I would reflect back to you how much effort it would take. I would say there is no major need to go to any great effort. If it is easy to repost then it certainly would be welcome. But if it involves some work then we can probably plug on along just fine. If there is a choice, I would certainly say that the most important stuff would be starting from the temple after their journey from Great Bend.

On a side note - if you want to reconstitute the side thread between Keryth and Dahlia, go ahead and do that if you desire. Otherwise - since it was basically just RP stuff and not really related to the game outside of character development we can just start a new thread. Or, we can drop it if you had grown tired of it. I'm totally flexible on that account as well.

Well to make it easy on myself I've attached Chapter 2 (hopefully everything works), so that should have everything...there's an .rtf with the very last bit from my own log as it wasn't cached which is missing Byntrou's/Bahruul's taking between themselves in Bous.

I'll think about the side thread.
