Malvoisin's Savage Tide OOC Thread *Resurrected*

[Malvoisin]

Is it still going to be able to attack Anar with Keoni standing over him? Is there any action that can be taken to prevent that?

Otherwise, Chongo may have to eat an AoO and bullrush the dang thing. . . which would also require someone to step in and block the approach before the zombie just steps around him.

I would rule that someone could drag Anar out of the zombie's reach as a move action, equivalent to 'Move a heavy object' per the SRD. Problem is, that would subject the mover to an AOO from the zombie.

I think a bull rush from Chongo is a reasonable line of action, even though it would subject him to risk. I may have Chongo do this, if Gwyd doesn't pop in to say otherwise.

I have been trying to portray the zombies as mindlessly hungry, attacking whoever is closest. In Keoni's case, he would technically be closer to the zombie than the fallen Anar, so it seems the zombie would probably attack Keoni...or am I just being overly sympathetic?

Thoughts welcome...

I assumed the zombies were intentionally focusing on the fallen first. If it's really just whoever's closest, then you could at least give it a 50-50 shot as to who it goes for.

I would have taken the bullrush myself, but Keoni has a 13 strength . . . and these things doing 1d6+3 presumably have ~16 strength. I doubt I'd get very far.

Attacking an prone object while someone is over that would draw an AoO in my book, not that the zombie knows that....

The zombie retaliates more swiftly than Anar anticipates, and in a horrible moment the dead pirate's awful jaws close on Anar's throat! The rogue falls to the ground in a gurgling fountain of blood, as the rest of the party looks on, horrified by this sudden and gruesome turn of events!

Ouch...that's going to leave a mark.


I told you guys Anar would go down quick!

Good point, I would agree with that.

Almost famous last words.... :\

Hi Horvs!

Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad to hear you have enjoyed reading through the game thread. I honestly have to give most of the credit to the players, who have done a great job of bringing their characters to life through great writing of dialogue and description.

In answer to your second question, there are generally a few games recruiting on the 'Talking the Talk' forum, so if you poke around over there, you may find something that works for you. If not, be patient, and keep trying. New recruiting threads pop up semi-regularly. It may take some time, but eventually, you'll crack one. It mostly boils down to luck, persistence, and good timing.

You may also note that there is another Savage Tide campaign starting up if it interests you. Fierce competition, but you can try and fight for a spot.
