Malvoisin's Savage Tide OOC Thread *Resurrected*

[Verbatim]

Yeah, SPEAKING of dissapearing DMs. . . no, wait, what?

[sblock=Hafrogman (and any who really want to read it)]
I know my outing was cut short..and I do apologize for that. I thought RL had me by the throat with my job and other stuff. However you can't keep a addict, yes I will admit it, away forever and I am back and trying to come in slowly and not bite off more than I can chew this time. I am starting up a little duster offer on here on the boards for Majin and have filled some of the extra slots now.

Part of the reason I am trying to be an alt is to give myself more time on things and not let anybody down again. But thanks for letting me know I wasn't totally forgotten in my hiatus..[/sblock]

[Sblock=right back atcha]Hope I didn't come across as upset or anything, I was just teasing. I understand the demands of RL come first, and I'm glad you're back. I saw your new game, but (especially with this game back) I seem to be in enough now. I just miss poor Derek, cut down in his prime. Tough game to restart though with all the posts gone I understand.[/sblock]

Just wanted to say welcome back to the boards Mal and I will keep you and your family in my prayers. HRPs are always rough and I wish the best for both you and your wife.

I know the game has just started back up, glad to see it back btw, but I wanted to ask if I could be added on as an alt?

I know the odds are slim, but better slim than none...

Hi, Verbatim, thanks for the kind words, and welcome back yourself!

I will certainly consider you as an alternate. As it turns out, it looks there MIGHT be an opening in the game soon. It depends on where we stand with the two players who have not checked back in. If both of them do not come back, then I will probably be seeking one new player (yep, one...gonna get this party back down to six PCs)

We shall see how things shake out, but just keep an eye open for a recruiting call if it should come to that. I'd put it here in the OOC thread for this game, and in Jdvn's Recruiting thread at the top of this board.

Can't post Col right now (cursed Fog in ohio keeping me from really getting to where I'm going so I have to post from a hotel late a night), but I know LO was off until end of year. However, I *did* see him post recently on a non-game thread. And he checks his mail occasionally.

Anyway, glad your all back!

Thanks for the alt spot Mal, and with the great chars that are already in the game I wouldn't mind taking either one to keep the flow going and not have to recreate the wheel.

Have a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Good to know! We'll see what happens with Tonks and Land Outcast, and go from there.

And, let me also wish everyone a great Thanksgiving holiday!

Here's one for you rules gurus....

When the rhagodessa moves into Chongo's space to grapple, does it incur AOO's from Anar and Keoni? I'm not sure if this would count as a '5 foot step' or not....

Help?

 

[hafrogman]

Step 4
Maintain Grapple. To maintain the grapple for later rounds, you must move into the target’s space. (This movement is free and doesn’t count as part of your movement in the round.)

Moving, as normal, provokes attacks of opportunity from threatening opponents, but not from your target.

If you can’t move into your target’s space, you can’t maintain the grapple and must immediately let go of the target. To grapple again, you must begin at Step 1.

I assume this means it doesn't count as a 5-ft step, because for most cases, the grappling oponent would only be 5-ft away anyways. But it does say movement provokes AoO "as normal" so DM perogative.

I tend to agree, it seems that the rules wouldn't make a special point of mentioning the AOO if it was a normal 5' step. I'll go ahead and give Keoni and Anar their attacks of oppportunity for the rhagodessa's movement.

The revision will have to come later though, because it's almost Turkey Time!

edit: Actually, Col also threatens the Rhagodessa with his longspear, so that will make THREE AOO's....we shall see what happens, but mayhap Chongo won't need to act after all.
