IG's Scales of War [OOC]

[industrygothica]

I'm not back yet, but I managed to find time to stop in at my mother's house for long enough to get this message posted. I still don't have internet access at my house yet, but I'll hopefully get that resolved next week.

The only way this game will die is if you guys lose patience with me in getting back on track. I fully plan on resuming both this game, and my Those Left Behind game as well. I do appreciate your patience, and profusely apologize for real life.

See you all soon enough...

I sure hope that Ike didn't affect you too much IG.

I sure hope that Ike didn't affect you too much IG.

I'm up in North Texas near the Oklahoma border, so all we got was some wind and a few sprinkles of rain. The weather's cooled off beautifully though, almost like a tease of Autumn. For the record, the Fall season here usually lasts all of three days before we move into winter. One would think that Texas winters wouldn't be all bad.

One would be mistaken...

I do appreciate your thought; thank you.

I'm still here, I'm just waiting to see what Peregrine does before Brega acts.

Glad you're doing alright, IG.

I'm away on holiday for the next four days out of internet contact. I'll be back Sunday evening so I'll post then. Try to keep me from burning!

 

[industrygothica]

I was mistaken in that Peregrine doesn't actually have 2 temporary hit points anymore. Apparently they go bye-bye after a rest, so he's at 25 of 27 with no reserve now.

Steve- Do you have a power that lets you re-roll initiative? I must've missed it if you do.

As you can see in the last narrative, I rolled initiative for both Illian and Elias since it had been a few days since I called for it. Lord knows I understand all about not being able to get right on and post. So Elias's initiative is actually 9, unless, of course, you want to delay and act on 4 instead. But unless you have something that let's you re-roll, it'll remain at 9 throughout the remainder of the encounter... unless I'm just missing something somewhere.

- The Digger:

FYI: Radiant Delirium is a Reflex attack, not Will. It's a hit regardless, but I thought you might want to know for future references.

You guys are doing some impressive damage to this ogre.

Mr. Gorak:

Warlock’s Curse [Revision/Addition]
Player’s Handbook, page 131[/b]
Replace the third sentence of the first paragraph with the following: “If you hit a
cursed enemy with an attack, you deal extra damage.”

Add the following clause to the end of the last sentence of the first paragraph: “so if you have dealt Warlock’s Curse damage since the start of your turn, you
cannot deal it again until the start of your next turn.”

I read this as only being able to deal Warlock's Curse damage to one target per round, regardless of how many targets are cursed.

Also, you need to make a separate attack roll for each target in the area of effect of your scorching burst power. Use a single damage roll (interesting choice, btw; should be interesting to see how it plays out).

So, to break it down, you need: three attack rolls, one damage roll, chose recipient of Warlock's Curse damage--in that order.


TO EVERYTONE: It's been over a week since we've seen actions from Illian and Brega. I can continue to npc them while we wait, or we can recruit more. If we chose to wait, we need to decide for how long until we recruit replacements. I knew when we started this that we'd go through players here and there--I think I even mentioned it in the recruiting post, so it's not a big deal, but it's something we need to talk about nonetheless. I also think that active players should be involved in the recruiting process; I'll likely leave it up to a vote between the three of you and I'll tiebreak if I have to.

I think he did roll damage for the Burst, he just needs to roll the attacks.

As for the waywards, have they been absent from the boards entirely? Or have they been logging on, but not posting?

If they've been logging on, try putting a "Calling (Names)" in the OOC thread title for a few days. Then if they continue to not post, at least you tried.

If they haven't been on the boards at all, you can probably open recruiting with a clear conscience. With no warning of absence, we have no way to know when, or if, they'll be back. And recruiting can take time too.
