Lamentation of Lolth - OoC VIII

[Verbatim]

While a tactical retreat might work if all of the party was up and able, if Cal fails his saving throw in RD 3, and you guys beat feet it might give one of the ogre's a reason to smash the skull in or the pain a reason to simply snap his immobile neck.

Just another two coppers to throw on the plate.

 

[hippocrachus]

I'm actually all for an expeditious retreat at this point, but I hope you guys don't sacrifice Calenthang for it

 

[Verbatim]

Yeah..it would suck if you died and others more worthy of that honor managed to live..*evil chuckle*

Laurent moved up next to Calenthang so he can pick him up if necessary.

Calenthang is not that heavy, so either Teleri or Laurent can pick him up, whilst the other holds the line. Laurent has combat expertise for this sort of situation, he won't do anything to the ogres, but he will boost his AC to 19 - which is about as good as anyone can get.

In addition we will have Boddy's apes appearing to buy us some time, that might allow more of us to carry him

Not to be a bad scout about all this, but to move to Calenthang's side you would have had to pass in and around the ogres and be just about in the middle of the stinking cloud.

Unless Majin sees it differently than how I have pictured to combat field.

On the plus side, you do have a point with the apes being able to in theory cloud the scene a bit give you guys a few moments breather.

Unfortunately Broddy doesn't have any way to counter act the hold person but the victim gets a will save each round.

Once the fiendish ape shows up I think things will go better, and as always Broddy does have a few more tricks up his sleeve.

Unfortunately Broddy can't communicate with the ape so all it will do is attack.

I was under the impression that the map was something like:

Trapdoor
Pain
Ogres
Calenthang and Sielwoden
Laurent and Teleri
Dunstand, Boddy, Jahon
Door​

If it is more like:

Trapdoor
Pain / Calenthang
Ogres
Sielwoden
Laurent and Teleri
Dunstand, Boddy, Jahon
Door​

 

[hippocrachus]

Prolly more like:

Calenthang
Trapdoor
Pain
Ogres
Sielwoodan
Laurent/Teleri
Dunstand/Broddy/Jahon
FREEDOM​

Calenthang was bright and decided to position himself behind the attackers

EDIT: The trapdoor is in the floor, right? That's a bit confusing, that part...

 

[Wilphe]

Wait, does this mean that Sielwoden is tanking by himself?

 

[Verbatim]

Calenthang (held)
Trapdoor
Pain (casting?)
Fiendish Ape (going after ogre #1)
Ogre1/Ogre2
Sielwoodan/former Teleri spot (Swinging hammer)
Laurent/Teleri (both using wands of CLW on Sielwoodan)
Dunstand(invis dagger tossing) Broddy(wand)/Jahon (casting illusion)
FREEDOM​

Is how I see it..so yes when it is Teleri's turn, she will 5' step back to use the wand/cast cure. After this round, it will be Sielwoodan tanking alone in the ranks of the heroes with the ape in the back flanking.
