[LPF] Scourge of the Howling Horde

[mfloyd3]

[sblock=ooc]Um, you don't have to answer, but why does Noak get a Reflex Save if the bomb hit? Evasion should apply only to splash damage, not a direct hit.

For convenience, I'm reprinting the description for Explosive Bombs below.

Explosive Bomb

Benefit: The alchemist’s bombs now have a splash radius of 10 feet rather than 5 feet (see Throw Splash Weapon). Creatures that take a direct hit from an explosive bomb catch fire, taking 1d6 points of fire damage each round until the fire is extinguished. Extinguishing the flames is a full-round action that requires a Reflex save. Rolling on the ground provides the target with a +2 to the save. Dousing the target with at least 2 gallons of water automatically extinguishes the flames.

Not yet having caught sight of their enemy Agno is hesitant to move very far into the room. He follows after Iago but keeps back from the alchemist so that he isn't too close. He hugs the wall in the hopes that it will shield him somewhat from any blasts of acid that flow his way.

"Hurrr! Cannot see!" he complains.

Instead of wasting the time, Agno casts another spell to enhance his skill.

GM: Sorry, I was so tired yesterday, I couldn't even see straight after updating. For some reason I though there was a Ref SV on direct hit too. I edited since my question is moot. Still waiting to see if [MENTION=41601]ScorpiusRisk[/MENTION] is returning.

 

[mfloyd3]

OOC: NP. Say, any chance that being on fire is going to make Noak visible to the other party members?

 

[perrinmiller]

GM: Yes, I would say that once Agno enters the chamber and gets LOS on Noak, he can see the flames. Denizel won't get LOS until he reaches the bottom of the stairs (Column 12).

 

[GlassEye]

OOC: The fire never even crossed my mind. I'm not a fan of changing my action unless absolutely necessary so I'll stick with my stated action.

 

[mfloyd3]

OOC: OK, but it is kind of a neat trick. I need to remember that Iago can use opponents as sources of illumination. "It is better to light an enemy than to curse the darkness."

 

[Systole]

OOC: Just noticed Sylla is at J12 on the map. If possible, she'd prefer I12, out of LOS of the dragon.

 

[perrinmiller]

OOC: NPC'ing Denizel.

Denizel moves after Agno and stands behind him on the stairs, sword in one hand and the wand of healing in the other.

"Do you see it?"

[perrinmiller]

Noak belches a stream of acid at Iago and then flies on past, the flames licking at her with the speed of her movement.

The dragon continues past the others at the stairs, flying over them to bank down into the pit behind Sylla. There is a splash of something hitting water.

Turning to look, Sylla cannot see the dragon as the pit slopes away (45 degree angle) from her and the light only reaches about 10 feet down before the bend in the tunnel obscures vision.
