[QUOTE="skotothalamos, post: 4953727, member: 83398"] Catein waves its hands at the swarm as they seem to spread out everywhere. They crawl around on Catein's legs and some of them seem to have figured out how to get inside the chainer. [COLOR=DimGray]"Aaagh!" [COLOR=White]it cries as tiny spectral chains explode around Catein in all directions, seemingly grabbing at the spider-things, Atlas, and even Catein in a desperate attempt to remove the swarm. The chains never seem to solidify enough to affect anything[/COLOR][/COLOR], amounting to an ineffectual light show. [sblock=ooc] um, is Kendrick with us? I thought he went in on the first floor while Catein, Martelai, and Atlas went into the cellar... Secondly, it's tough to deal with a swarm (which is most efficiently hit with area attacks) that is adjacent to the entire group without a map. I have no idea where to drop my burst 1 which hits "all creatures" in the burst, so I have no idea who I will potentially hit. I'm just going to assume there's a way to just attack the swarm, since I'm picturing something like this: ..M.. SA.. ..C.. I would need a square off to the left of the swarm to not catch at least two of my allies in the burst. If there is no such space, I'll opt to set it to my left so it attacks just me and Atlas. I'll make those rolls just in case. Swarm vs. Catein: [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2276659/"]1d20+7=20[/URL] vs Reflex (11); hit for [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2276664/"]12[/URL] damage. Catein is immobilized!
