Clutches of Evil - OOC Thread

[unleashed]

Spoken like a man playing a priestly figure. After all, WIS is the prime Stat for those types of classes ...

Well someone has to be around to patch everyone up. Now where is my roll of duct tape...

Unfortunately, jkason, Destiny's little trick does only work with a range of touch, so she's gonna have to turn Byntrou down. That will set priority to the actions of the other three ... who are focused on going into the room.

I know I don't really have to explain this, but I just wanted everyone to see my reasoning in case anyone felt railroaded into entering the room.

No problem. I didn't expect we'd get through the door as quickly as we did. And unleashed is right: the characters are individuals, and they're bound to take different tacks on a situation which might wind up countering other intentions. It's all good fun far as I'm concerned.

Besides, between range spells and the mundane bow, who says Byntrou's going anywhere near that room until it's clear?

Sorry, yes Garth is the target of the spiritual weapon.

Daz, Pwent is a human.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Indeed, Pwent is human ...

And Unleashed, OOCly speaking in terms of init, all the baddies have had their strikes. So Pwent's condition will not change before Keryth has a chance to act. Terefore, I will be using the contigent action as stated in your OOC Sblock in the thread. Thanks for putting that in there.

 

[unleashed]

Sure, no problem. Well you never know when someone else will pop out and wreck your plans...I mean who knows how soon reinforcements might arrive.

Of course Keryth will only move to the doorway if necessary to heal Pwent, as it looks like he may move back beforehand.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Unleashed - You'll notice I didn't move Keryth in the battlefield map. That isn't because he couldn't, the cure spell is only a standard action. He still has a move action coming to him. So he can move up to his movement ... however I wasn't sure if you wanted him in the doorway knowing that Pwent was able to make it back. Essentially, feel free to pick a location within Keryth's movement ability and he can be put there after healing Pwent.

Jkason - While I like your explanation and it makes sense to me, what you are suggestion essentially is akin to what the Flare spell already does. Allowing Dancing Lights to have that benefit would render Flare useless. So while I like your rationale, I must decline to allow it. Perhaps you should write WotC and suggest that they combine the spells for future use - makes very logical sense to me!

Also,

NOTE TO ALL PLAYERS:

Unfortunately, I will have to be away from my computer from Tues till Thurs night (EST). Trust me, I'm not happy about it. Have ot go to some "new people on the job" conference. Woo-friggin-hoo, right? Anyway, while I am away suffering ... please feel free to use the OOC thread to plan strategy if you would like. But unfortunately once Tues hits I won't be back until Thurs night. But I will be back then!

 

[unleashed]

Thanks, I'm quite happy where Keryth is right now (it's where I expected him to be when Pwent moved back before the cure spell).

Not a problem. I figured I might be unbalancing things. Posted an alt action instead.

Good luck! We'll be here when you get back.

Daz, Pwent is a human.

Damn! That's the second time I've done that, I've obviously read to many Realms novels In fact, as an experiment I might roll my next PC up as a human and call him Drizzt and see how long it takes people to forget he's a human. Apologies, again.

Oh, and as for tactics - crush, kill, maim, destroy - sounds good to me!

Cheers

Daz
