Lord Ogglebottoms Odd Tasks: All in a Nights Work (DM: DMDanW, Judge: Renau1g)

[SBLOCK=Dealing non-lethal damage]

From the PHB, page 295:
"When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points or fewer, you
can choose to knock it unconscious rather than kill it.
Until it regains hit points, the creature is unconscious but
not dying. Any healing makes the creature conscious.
If the creature doesn’t receive any healing, it is
restored to 1 hit point and becomes conscious after a
short rest."


So in other words there is no real difference in lethal vs non-lethal damage, its just that at 0 hit points you choose whether you are killing it or just knocking it out. They are not dying and will regain consciousness with 1 hit point 5 minutes after the encounter is over.

Alright if Jehad and Zharne have not posted an action by 4:00 GMT please NPC their actions. Remember when NPCing it is the custom to use only at-will powers and generally not put the character in too much danger if can be helped.

I know I may be sticking to the post within 48 hours rule pretty tight, but I like to keep the game moving for those players who do post regularly and frequently.

Zharne sets his eyes on the halfling, he shifts form to a more feline fotm and try to pounce on the barrels but it is a feeble attempt then he tries again but that doesn't work either

[sblock=Action Details]
Move Action:to p4, but fails to jump on the crates

That's 4am, right? I'm not sure whether you're using a 12- or 24-hour clock. I'm on PST, so I think you just called for action by 8pm tonight, my time. Also, I don't mind running Jehad until the player gets back, if everyone's cool with that. (Because I'm going last anyway, and can do both characters at once)[/sblock]

Well from counting from my post to start the round it would be 4:00pm GMT, which was about an hour and a half ago. (I am on Central Standard Time myself).
So feel free to post whenver you can.

Has anyone seen Ghdeh1 on the boards the last couple of days? I don't like rushing things and having him miss his turns if he is around and just not checking frequently, but if he has been absent for a while perhaps his character is NPCed till he shows up? Judge, how is this normally handled?

Jehad weaves through his allies, standing behind a couple of the taller party members, he looses a missile of virulent green at the goblin on the rooftop, causing the goblin to duck behind the eave. [sblock=Jehad's Actions]Move: Move to V3, hiding behind a couple taller allies.
Standard: Acid Orb vs. Goblin 3 (Reflex) 13[/sblock]

Minharath turns to the goblin as he stands back up, and calls to the goblin "Impudent fool! Surrender before you are harmed!" The goblin simply jeers in response.

Gloom move to the alley entrance, getting ready for action.

Gellan moves forward at the sound of conflict, rounding the corner as missiles begin to rain down on them from the rooftops. Knowing how deadly his own kind can be as snipers, he takes aim at the closer halfling with his boomerang, just managing to clip it alongside the head, sending it falling senseless.

Thorn doesn't have a ranged weapon handy, so he won't be able to get to the snipers on top of the buildings. So he rushes down the ally toward our primary target: the bearded man, and hopes those snipers are bad shots. Spotting a ragged looking human as he passes the side alley, Thorn does not divert his attention from his main goal, the bearded man.

Zharne sets his eyes on the halfling, he shifts form to a more feline form and try to pounce on the barrels but it is a feeble attempt then he tries again but that doesn't work either.

Out of the shadows beside Zharne a goblin appears, driving its short sword into the side of the feline form as it tries in vain to get atop the crates. As soon as it does though a look of fear appears on its face as it realizes that it is now trapped.

The remaining halfling fires another stone towards Gellan but it hits the ground in front of him instead. Eying Gellan cautiously the halfling moves backwards up over the peak of the roof and down the other side out of side.

The crossbow wielding goblin fires at Gellan and grazes him with a shot, and then quickly ducks back behind the chimney and makes his way further back on the roof, out of site of everyone except Thorn.

The ragged human cautiously makes his way around and comes up from behind Thorn. With his attention focuses on the bearded man, the ragged human manages to catch him with his club.

From around the corner you hear growling as two muscular dogs come racing towards Thorn. The first dog manages to nip Thorn in the leg, which causes him to become unbalanced and fall to the ground. Luckily for Thorn, the fall caused the second dogs bite to miss, although the luck is short lived as he realizes he has three enemies surrounding him.

A bald man comes around the corner with a mace in one hand and a dagger in the other. He and the bearded man both advance towards the now prone shifter and watch the dogs as they tear at him.

Gellan snarls silently as the other halfling ducks out of sight, then watches as Thorn is beset by enemies on all sides. Quickly, he draws one of the broad-bladed tan'gat from its sheath on his back and throws himself into the thick of the melee with a shrill war cry.

[Sblock=DMDanW] Does the barrel in Q3 take up space in Q4 as well, or does it only provide cover for shots going through Q3?[/sblock]
