General Discussion Thread IX

Just saying that if we throw them back to Fallon every time, we can never win by guerilla warfare and it is sheer futility to try

But you have one advantage that a real army doesn't, at least not to the degree of D&D. You get considerably more powerful each time you defeat a foe. Think of the experience points! Fight your war of attrition until you can just destroy the entire army at level 20!

Of course that assumes that you win each skirmish and never make a mistake, but when has an adventurer ever died from making a mistake.

But that requires that someone in the army is at level 13 (or more precisely, has a CR of 13+). If all you get are CR 3s, you'll be stuck at level 10.

 

[SlagMortar]

Ah yes, I see my plan has a fatal flaw.

10 is enough to teleport though and then you can get away and the level 3's will have a hard time following.

Hmmm... let me think... is attacking in melee a Merrow Barbarian a mistake? Or looking at a globe of glass? Or figthing a god? Or simply the child of a dragon? Just wondering like that...

Damn, I've assisted at 4 death, all have been resurrected, but how many have been killed up to now in LEW?

Well, a buddy of mine dropped some D&D humor on me recently entitled "Famous Last Words" so I know some adventurer somewhere made a mistake somehow...

Why do I get the feeling that the OoC discussion that is taking place in this thread is the one that should have taken place IC in the Ashin's Commission thread before your characters walked out of the woods to confront the soldiers?

Famous last words? Like, "Hey, everybody, watch this!"

 

[Knight Otu]

Famous last words? Like, "Hey, everybody, watch this!"

"It is just a fairy with a big scythe. What threat... he rolled how much damage!?"

"Hey, look, it's a god. I'll open egotiations by telling him how much his lair sucks!"

Sample chosen at random from the list:


"No, I'm sure there's some stipulation that says a disintegrate spell won't work if the spellcaster casts it on himself. Here, I'll prove it."

Well, to be fair, if Percy is out of enemy reach, Gorefoot will tend to charge anything. And he did get the little bugger pretty good with his kukri before being nearly beheaded. His last words were probably significantly less articulate, something like, "Grrrrrrrr Die! Die! DIE! Aaaauuuuurgh" *gurgle* *splortch*.
