Kiss of Darkness: OOC: Part 1--A Hint of Shadow

[Rystil Arden]

Wow . . . some tough crates there. Verra's likely to fail 65% of the time. Granted she's not too athletic but still . . . can't risk falling, esp. with the implied slam into the crates. Climbing DC's are always a pain in the butt anyway

So, just how difficult would it be to push a crate down on the animal?

Standard action shove to topple the crates from the bottom is DC 15 Strength. Full-round action to push hard or charge into it and slam your weight against it (not a whole round, just means it takes up your move like a full attack) is DC 10. The animal gets to make a Reflex save to avoid being hit by the toppling crates.

Just fodder for thought . . . and for disrupting casters on crates

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Good thinking, though, Keia. That was going to be my advice but I figured I should keep out of it because Rhaka isn't involved. But since you already said it ...

Besides, if the crates are toppled you should have plenty of space to balance on since there aren't other crates to share the top with!

Yup, it'll be much easier to climb onto a short disorganised heap than a neat tall stack with few footholds.

 

[unleashed]

Yeah--forgot that she was down to orison

Anyways, the answer to how he knew you were there is that you Alarmed him when you fiddled with the door. As for getting out of reach--he's only out of reach if you aren't creative, and not getting out of reach would just be playing him dumb

Which time we fiddled with the door? As for his position, I have no problem with him getting out of reach, but that still doesn't explain how he got in when we were watching the building.

 

[unleashed]

Yup--he cast the Arcane Lock earlier while they were sniffing around with Kinjon at the opposite side of the room, and we had some pretty bad rolls.

The assumption that everyone followed Valerie and Kinjon, doesn't sit well with me either, as we weren't given the chance to post actions contrary to this, before events were in motion. Not that I'm saying events would be different, but I would have liked the choice to be one we made and not one made for expediency which got us in such a position. No chance to change things now, but just a thought for the future.

Must be pretty small and light crates to be that unstable and come down so easily.

Of course that'd be really helpful if we had some idea of where he was other than...

*Before Baeleth can get to the door, Val is charged by a fiendish boar, causing her to stop moving crates, which allows a soft chanting to be heard somewhere above.*

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Wow! Four in a row. I don't think I've ever seen that before!

Huh? You guys actually posted even more actions more quickly than I expected (which is just fine! )--Baeleth's actions that precipitated the attack strongly implied that he was over with Val and Kinjon. There was no chance to add in any other actions for you because by the time I resolved the ones you'd already posted, you would have been back at the door already
