D&D Wargaming: Good OOC

[WizWrm]

While I'm safe in my anonymity for the moment, none of my extraplanar leaders have teleport to get back, if they were to be attacked in this manner.

Maybe we should use this tactic on them (assuming it's declared legal)? Is there an easy way to find out if any of them picked demons for their army?

We could try divinations like legend lores and suchlike? Alternatively, animal spies could be sent out to check as best they can. My army's not really the right kinda force for that though, others can probably manage this better than my band of surly dwarves

I would just as well prefer we not do it, because as soon as we do, they will start and that leaves us vulnerable. Second it really is kind of cheesy. Though humorously, we could summon the leader of one side, compel him to attack another evil side and wipe out his forces while dies to the full might of the other side.

In anycase I would prefer to leave this can of worms closed. Fieari has made clear his distaste for the teleport ambush and this is just a variant of that.

On that note, my army may be about 10 times more cheesy than that particular tactic. Even if I don't get to wipe out any armies in an open field, I can quickly destroy fortifications and the like. Any comments or concerns?

Nameless: Did you get any CR points? If so, how many? (I know we get different amounts, I just want to get an idea on what Fieari is handing out)

 

[Tyreus]

Fieari: You can pretty much ignore this thread, only a debate has occured.

Nameless and Wizwrm,

I was just thinking about something I think I should warn you about. I have been in the teleport ambush scenario in my real life campaign. A Demon lord was trying to kill us and in so doing, elevate itself to Princedom. Well finally we said enough was enough, used Gate to pull him to us and ambush the heck out of him (we still nearly died, but we managed to kill him)

This little trick is costlier in 3.5 and is a little obscure, it will only work on extraplanar creatures, so Dan, Zan, and Ashalla are safe, you two however, if someone gets creative, may have problems.

This is what they're arguing about. Ruling?

 

[Fieari]

CR Points will be awarded in the IC thread, and only in responce to IC actions.

 

[Tyreus]

I was just looking for a range. I was wondering what kind of cr your handing out, like 20 as apposed to 500.

 

[Fieari]

I promise it will be more than 20, and less than 500. How's that?

Oh, and named people can't be involuntarily summoned by gates, although they can TRY to summon you with a gate, and if you REALLY WANT TO you can answer that call. You probably won't want to though.

As to the mirror, if you ever figure out how to make it work (ie-- find the command word) it has unlimited range, but takes ten minutes to refocus. Kinda a mix of both worlds.

 

[Tyreus]

Hell, I'd answer that... with 4 disintegrates.

 

[WizWrm]

Fieari, what's the result of my action? In brief, I'm calling down the animal scouts (ravens and rats) who are currently passing through the vicinity and using my speak with animals item to find out what they have seen about enemy territory and troop movements, focusing first on those scouts who have traveled farthest.
