H4H: Red Hand of Doom (full)

[ethandrew]

Geez, I disappear for 4 hours and you guys write a thesis...

Enlarge would be useful, but Kirrg still just needs to hit, but he's been unlucky. When I PA'd, he got a 16 to hit, which without the -3 would've hit I assume. C'est la vie. And yes, someone is healing from somewhere and I don't like it, but I don't think we've any idea as to where it's from. Kirrg has healing spells memorized, one for each level.

Kirrg wants to deal with those by his location, most specifically the one he's been engaged with, then the one who was healed. It's a tricky business, being a hero is.

Is the hobgoblin that Kirrg attacked is still alive? or no? His R is Red, so I don't know if that means he is down or not. Sorry :\

He fell from 18 points of damage. I usually mark foes that are down with red somehow.

Phew! That's a relief. I didn't think he'd ever kill that guy! A post will follow shortly!

SasQ- On a completely unrelated note, congrats on getting Oden. I'm in Seattle so if the Sonics leave Seattle, I at least know I'll have a nearby team to root for... not sure if you care though

Manuvers granted: crusader's strike, action before thought, battle leader's charge Use crusaders strike attack leader24 to hit, 13 damage, 9 damage healed Five foot step to F13. If that hits, all the healing goes to me. So at the end of my round, 36/55 hp and 0/10 in DDP. Another note, if I use WRT, do you want me to make a seperate post for my new init or stay how I am doing it. You many answer this later(from my question in the ooc thread), but what kind of armor are these hobs wearing? I need those temp hp, if I can sacrifice my attack bonus.

One thing I am going to have to rule is Crusaders are only going to be granted one manuever per full turn regardless of how many initiatives in a turn they get.

The cycling through manuevers is a bit too fast for my comfort level otherwise. :\

So it should go like this for Jonathan

Round one 3 granted
Round two 4th granted
Round three 5th granted
Round four reboot 3 granted
Round five 4th granted
Round six 5th granted
Round seven reboot 3 granted.

Since this is round six. Jonathan is granted his 5th manuever. Whichever one left that was.
So he doesnt have Crusader's strike available yet.

To answer your question All of the Hobgoblins have chainmail armor and heavy steel shields.
They are armed with nasty looking longswords (think Lord of the Rings movie) and longbows.
Obviously they cant use the bows and shields at the same time. I will tell you 16 has consistently missed those with shields ready.

Uth-Gar is wearing studded leather, has no shield or bow. His twin shortswords well polished and not of the dull matte coloring of the others blades.

Okay sounds good. Double check for me H4H, but it looks like I get mountain hammer granted this turn instead of recycling. My last turn I used WRT to go again, and mountain hammer was granted(being the only remaining one). I would use it on Uth-Gar. If you feel comfortable with me being able to use it we can add 2d6 to the damage of my attack roll, or I can reroll. I noted that moutain hammer is granted in the IC thread, but I won't update more until I hear from you.

I had completed overlooked the fact that there could be an invisible cleric floating around out here...

I hope he/she/it is still over on your side, 'cuz I hope Durion and I mop up our side this turn (20 hp with ice breath = good timing).

Agreed on the 6 reinforcement hobbies having class levels -- if that is the case, we are in deep !@$%.


OOC: I was glad to see Oden get picked -- the young nucleus of Oden, Aldridge, Roy, Jack, and Outlaw looks pretty good at this point. Was glad to see Randolph go, but not for Francis...

We have no way to root out the invisibility other than watching for movement in the trees. I see potential trouble with the hob's all closing in on Sir J and Kirrg. I might have to do some defensive attacks or at least heal up with a serious. I only have Bull Strength for one more round too (I actually think this might've been my last round), but I do have a few more tricks up Kirrg's sleeve for Uth-Gar. My hope is that the hob that I'm fighting now isn't healed to full.

Unrelated: I heard they might buy out Francis outright, "Welcome to the Rose City, Steve. Here's $n-Million. Now get out of here."

Reroll the whole attack if you would and include mountain hammer.

Re: Possible invisible cleric - hopefully can hear the healing spells being cast, or see the healing potions being poured down the targets throats..

On a meta-gaming note: the only thing I can think of is that this is at least a 5th lvl cleric with a trickery domain (2nd level domain spell is invisibility) -- need Summon Monster III to summon the hell hound. Of course, there is no way for our characters to know that. I would think that we will not face this creature (if there is one) because it would probably flee once the battletide begins to turn towards the mighty good heroes.

Regardless, Kirrg and Jonathan need to hold their own for another round or two, so Durion and I can finish up and come help. Does anyone over there have cleave?

OOC: Heard an interview with the Blazers GM yesterday and he didn't immediately say that they would buy out his contract, as the Cap relief wouldn't occur until the end of his contract anyway. But you also don't want him to poison the locker room and ruin any chemistry with the young players. At the same time, I don't think Francis's game is well suited with the young blazers, because he is a ballhog and a selfish player. I don't see him playing any minutes this year.

Evolution- I grew up in Midland....
