[D&D 3.5] War of the Burning Sky [OOC] [Closed]

[Jemal]

Advice is fine. "I don't care if you take an AoO, MOVE" seems less like advice and more like an order. I'd have moved the last round b/c I had no problem with the way you originally worded it, but I wasn't aware that the staircase beside the orc was blocking anything.

I hope this doesn't escalate too far, I do think you're a good gamer, Ark. And if you want your character to be bossy, feel free, I just take it kinda personal when people are seemingly ordering me around OOC/IRL.

I just really don't like being told what to do (Personaly, my characters are usually ok with it), unless I ask. I wasn't asking you to stop with your insight, I just over-reacted a bit to the way you worded it. My general take on things is : If you want me to do something, Ask don't Tell.

Compromise/Peace?

 

[Arkhandus]

I didn't mean to be rude in the first place; I just come off that way once in a while with my wording. Peace.

The thing is, asking Rashelle didn't accomplish anything, which was why Liiros tried being more forceful after wasting several seconds standing amid the burning debris and waiting (and getting moderately burnt himself in the process). He assessed the tactical advantages and disadvantages of Rashelle standing there and getting attacked some more, versus her moving to safety and just possibly getting attacked once along the way, before he could step in and use Corellon's power to heal her and smite the enemy simultaneously.

That's the only reason he tried threatening her into moving, before I changed my post due to your response. It's the only reason I tried being forceful about it; it was in Rashelle's best interest. And now I've already said that I won't bother with such advice/coordination in the future.

I tried it in-character first; that didn't work, so I tried to emphasize my point OOC at the same time, and that backfired. It won't happen again. Liiros will just learn to accept that Heironean tactics don't have anything in common with elvish tactics. He's not bossy; but he will take charge when no one else is bothering to coordinate in battle. Liiros will still try sometimes to coordinate, IC, but he's not going to expect anything to come of it after this. Not with the Heironean anyway.


DM Pneumatik --- Is the Reflex save/fire damage for going into a pile of burning debris separate from the other saves to avoid fire damage each round in the burning building?

Other than the first round when the ceiling fell in, you only need to make a save when you walk through burning debris.

And Liiros can be at J-10. I wasn't sure where you wanted him to go, so I just left him in front of the door. Everyone, if there's a particular square you want your PC to move to, tell me. Otherwise, I'll just make something up.

 

[Arkhandus]

Alright, then the second save I made in my earlier post would cover his movement through the burning square to reach the door. His first save was poor and got him burnt, but his second save was a 10. So, with no enemy to smite at the end of the battle, he's still at 13/18 HP.

Well that was a bracing little fight, eh? Fire and debris and all sorts of fun stuff.

 

[pneumatik]

I'm going to wait at least over the weekend to post anything to give the people back in round three of the encounter down on the ground (Liiros, Plavin, and Rashell) a chance to talk to the townsfolk and get a blanket set up to catch anyone who might fall. Just in case Hollister's plan doesn't work.

sync: the IC thread is up to post 136.

Bah. I've nothing but faith in our resident fire expert. I just hope my fire resistance holds out, else Korrin will be dinner.

Ha! Good man! But you have more faith in my PC than I do!

 

[pneumatik]

If the PCs on the ground can't think of anything to say, in-game time will pass while they think and dither. Around noon (eastern time) Monday I'll post for Torrent and pass a couple of rounds to catch everyone up to the same round.

Still here

I have been busy, other wise I would have posted more. I will post again once the rescue scene is over or if I think of something constructive.
