[Midnight] Escape from Shadow – OOC

[hbarsquared]

J_DnD, why did you resolve Karita's escape attempt? If I wasn't clear, it was a one or t'other thing; I couldn't have made a full attack and an escape artist check.

My bad, sorry I wasn't clear. I was just writing it out to show why I didn't have her do an escape artist check. Like you said: she could not have done both. I apologize for the confusion.

And by the way, DM, what this pirate was eating ? 10 dmg ! Is he Dorn or something ?

Nope, Erenlander with 14 Str (+2 damage) and a longsword (1d8, rolled 8), then ad hoc -2 penalty (which I actually applied before rolling). Kinda unlucky, huh?

Lucky to be alive, DM. I wish that my attacks were as deadly. But it isalvaysthat way ... my fighter get worst dmg possible and rarely hits, my wizard on the other hand wounds with spells really poorly ... and is ridiculously lucky in brawl ! Better than many fighters.

I wish such luck for this pirate with these two angry orcs. Your descripton how "nimbly" Torak avoided this blow made me laugh like madman.

Sorry I wasn't able to post on Monday, I was really sick and unable to make it to an internet connection.

The new post is up, and if you notice, everyone is within yelling distance of each other.

Have fun!

Just checking up. I won't put up a post today unless Herremann the Wise and Dirigible post as well. I'm not trying to rush anyone (especially since I know I didn't post myself on Monday), but I wanted to let you guys know that I'm indeed still here.

Is a rough Mon-Wed-Fri schedule still good for everybody?

 

[Eonthar]

Mon-Wed-Fri is still fine with me. As long as you don't mind receiving the Fri post on Sat or Sun on occassion.

OOC: Another Coup the Grace against chains

You can't make a coup de grace against something that's immune to criticals, Rik. Like objects.

Nay, chains aren't immune to criticals, Dir. This time I checked.
Think maybe about method with wich Karita would convice the pirates that she ain't some abominable monster/demon. People may be "little" supersitious ... not all are as open minded as "small" orc. I doubt they would accept "malformed", barely speaking "beast" more than well spoken, calm and seemingly cultural orc. Heh, they didn't saw Torak pissed.

 

[hbarsquared]

Rikander Azebol - Dirigible is right, no critical hits or coup de grace's against objects.

First, a coup de grace explicitly states:

As a full-round action, you can use a melee weapon to deliver a coup de grace to a helpless opponent.

An object is not an "opponent".

Also,

You can’t deliver a coup de grace against a creature that is immune to critical hits.

Objects are not considered creatures, plus:

Objects are immune to nonlethal damage and to critical hits.

So, my bad in a previous post with allowing critical hit damage to the chain, sorry about that.

 

[Rikandur Azebol]

OOC: All they way DM. Then Torak was just hacking with vardatch. Apologies to You and to Dirigible, just thought that is some sort of err ... house rule.

Dear friends,

Many apologies, but it looks like my internet connection will not be as reliable as I had thought. I've been posting from work, and it looks like they are tightening the reigns on controls: I will have someone looking over my shoulder, breathing down my neck half the time. :\

So, I'm afraid I will have to drop out as DM, right now. If someone else wants to pick it up, please feel free to do so. I would hate to see a good MIDNIGHT game go to waste. It has been great fun, posting, and I wish that I could continue. Perhaps in the future.

Again, many apologies, but it looks like this is it, for now.
