HM, you missed my AoO against the thug moving in to attack Mal. Even if he went around the far side of the Grease, I still get an AoO, as Reach Weapons specifically get the benefit of direct 10-ft. diagonals.

SRD said:
Reach Weapons

Most creatures of Medium or smaller size have a reach of only 5 feet. This means that they can make melee attacks only against creatures up to 5 feet (1 square) away. However, Small and Medium creatures wielding reach weapons threaten more squares than a typical creature. In addition, most creatures larger than Medium have a natural reach of 10 feet or more.

Note: Small and Medium creatures wielding reach weapons threaten all squares 10 feet (2 squares) away, even diagonally. (This is an exception to the rule that 2 squares of diagonal distance is measured as 15 feet.)

So do you want to roll my AoO, or shall I do so when I next post in K2V?

No I rolled it here top of the latest page.

I needed to know where everyone makes it to on the map before updating and adding it in. Most AoO's like that I will need to roll to know if someone dies or not as they advance/take certain actions. Hate to make the map and then have to do a redo.

Everyone make sure your combat/weapon stats are always up to date so there are no mistakes please.

Ah, mixed in with other rolls, dealing with other actions... Before the guy actually moved in. :p

One more reason I hate placeholder posts, especially when they get forgotten. :rant:

Yeah I'm thinking of doing a rolls post and then the next would be the action/status post. So as not to be forgotten or have to roll on some other post keeping all the rolls for that round together.

I saw the 'work in progress' post, as it stands right now. And I've got to say, that's a lot better (IMO) than the previous "placeholder" stuff. :D

And just as a quick reminder for my AoOs: 3/round, +9 attack bonus for 2d4+5 damage. If damage roll is over 10, I get a free Trip attempt (+7 bonus) from Knock-Down.

Though bringing up Knock-Down reminds me of a question I've been meaning to ask... It only says I get a free Trip attempt. Normally, Trips are an attack, yadda yadda, blah blah, but this is an added effect if my damage hits a certain threshold, similar to a wolf's Trip. So, considering it's a free add-on, if my free Trip fails, does my opponent get the reaction (per a normal Trip) or is he stuck (like a Wolf's Trip)?

Thought you would like that.

Let's see since it is a free part of an attack let's keep it like a wolves trip so as not to have variances.

Also Jareth is up.

Looks like I messed up the numbers on last rounds roll. TWF with Fighting Defensively with MW Dragon Gauntlets nets me only a +0/+0 attacks. Luckily, I got a nat 20, so the attack would have still gone through. Just wanted to let you know I will keep an eye on the TWF + TWD + Fighting Defensively modifiers.

Excellent. And I took the liberty of describing my strikes hitting, figuring a 28 and 23 would hit against a Prone foe who had a previous AC of 19. ;)

Oof... Yeah, that's a pain with the heaping penalties onto your attacks. Too bad you can't take Combat Expertise. And I don't know any other feats to take advantage of a defensive style. :(

Oh they both hit and as they do Jareth feels a burning sensation climbing up his arms as Haden's aura effects him. ;)

Lucky for Malaroc that you took him out before he hit the thug LOL.

The two ?? were because his AC would be different for different attacks (-4 for melee +4 for ranged) just a reminder to me to keep track of how he was attacked.

What really sucks for me is you killed him right before he got to acid breath Cedric. Will I never be rid of this guy!? :erm: Maybe [MENTION=90731]Lughart[/MENTION] will return and the dice gods know this.

I'll take the damage in exchange for being rid of him. :p

Well... he could valiantly throw himself in front of some crossbow bolts. But if you think the couple of fights you've been NPCing him is a pain, you should've seen how long my Sunday game DM was stuck running two former PCs. It was going on months before he finally managed to be rid of them, when we returned to town from our long-lasting dungeon crawl.

The length of time was due in large part to the help of my Dragon Shaman saving everyone's rear ends several times. ;)
Man, I love the Dragon Shaman class! :D

I was quite surprised that you didnt just launch a hail of bolts at Cedric as a warning...

although being unconscious when Haden goes under is going to drive Ern up a wall. Once she gets back up at least.

btw, waiting for the Gnoll to respond to Alden: Alexander is not going to speak to 'wet nose' until; The Gnoll (or Gnolls) respond or enough time passes that it's apparent that the Gnolls are ignoring Alden.
The reason he is not making a comment the moment that Alden finished is becuse while in the circumstances before there was really nothing happening. yet in this circumstance there is somekind of dance going on, and he dos not know if it is just for fun or if it has some kind of meaning for the Gnolls: so ya, he dos not see a reason to risk alienating the Gnolls for just a moment or two.

Well I think the update is done (man can't believe it is after midnight).

Trinham below is the template for the fireball for when you wish to cast it again. And beside it is how I played it out for the encounter.

Looks like the gang isn't out of the woods just yet.

CG or CN Need to check the book - Copper Dragon (He got pissed at being spit upon by acid)

I take it that his actions are a bit extreme? Either way, he knows that Haden was out for blood, and that fanatics like those in the service of Dragons, especially evil ones, only have one way out... death. At least, that's what he thinks.

EDIT - Found the entry. Chaotic Neutral it is!

NP I just need to know for future reference. I understand his actions now, what will he do next time.

These things help me gather ideas for character growth and such. I will probably put Mal in the same situation but this time it wouldn't be to his benefit.
