Night's Embrace: Part 1--A Touch of Darkness

[Legildur]

(OOC1: Didn't check the sling damage... cool)
(OOC2: Boddynock, that's not a grapple check! )

Frustrated by the worsening situation, and his current unhealed state from the previous encounter with the summoner, Blunt decides that he needs to get more involved in the fight. Assessing his options, Blunt climbs/jumps/tumbles as best he can (OOC: RA, I'll leave it up to you to decide the most feasible means to get down/across to the summoner without busting himself).

OOC: To which, sir, I reply:

(OOC: The summoner actually has a better grapple than that--to shame! Now, Blunt with Improved Grapple would pretty much automatically win a grapple check, on the other hand )

 

[Boddynock]

OOC: Ok! I really really really would appreciate a better option, if anybody would be so kind as to point one out to me. If the bloody spellcaster's got a better grapple bonus than Kel has, then I'd say we're .... takes a deep breath and counts to ten .... [GRANDMOTHER FILTERING] in a spot of bother.

(OOC: If only he had Improved Grapple!! I took feats with the long term in mind).

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Well, that's why I said Blunt with Improved Grapple and not normal Blunt. Of course, for a certain build, Improved Grapple is actually a decent long-term choice, but admittedly Stunning Fist is a nice perk too.)

(OOC: Except that Blunt studies the Passive Way style, and his bonus feat was Combat Expertise...)

(OOC: It's barely better due to BAB. I mean--considering you have +1 and he can summon wolverines, I guess you might expect that Everyone else in the party has at least equal if not better Grapple than the summoner though )

(OOC: Really? Wow, I didn't even realise that was allowable at level 1! Wow, that feat doesn't help at all until level 2. Now I see what you mean by long-term )

OOC: Yeah - it's an irony that the least competent member of the party is the one who's in the position to jump the guy. Do you folks (and I'm not too proud to include you in this, RA) think I'd do better to attack him with the dagger?
