[OOC] Constables of the 14th Ward

[Leif]

SoulFetter gazes in awe and wonderment as time seems to slow, then come to a complete halt. His arrow is frozen in midair, the webs from his compadre Moru petrified as they fly toward the target. Each of his friends appears caught in the moment between seconds as they . . . wait . . . for . . . something . . . to . . . happen . . . . . .

Fear not, Gentle Urgant! I have it on unimpeachable authority that a new post from our beloved Scotty shall be forthcoming soon. He has been waiting for several days for certain of our more lax players to post, but they have not done so. So I told him this morning to let them eat our dust! He is, at the moment, busy with work, but he assures me that as soon as he can, he will advance the action. Thank you all for your undying devotion and longsuffering. It has not been unnoticed!

 

[Scotley]

Okay gang. Working on the post now...

Rules Question

If Raul attacks with unarmed strikes, will that subject him to the acid and paralytic action of the cube? I understand that unarmed strikes are not just with the hands. It can be elbows, knees, feet, etc. Can Raul attack the cube with elbows and knees, for example, to avoid direct contact? Sai attacks are d4; unarmed strikes are d8.

 

[Scotley]

That's a thorny issue where logic and game mechanics clash. Logically, he'd get burned, but mechanics wise the description of the cube does not suggest that attackers or their weapons are damaged by contact with the cube. We could assume that the brief contact of strikes during attacks do not cause harm to the attacking Monk. I'll have to consult with my co-DM before we make a final ruling.

Raul v. The Cube

Okay, I have an email enroute to Scotty on this subject even as I type this line. We may need to swap emails a time or three before we get it all hashed out, but rest assured, we are working toward that goal.

Has anyone heard from Maeglin aka Rahvin lately? Doesn't look like he's been on for nearly two weeks.

I was under the (perhaps mistaken) impression that you and he were buds in RL. I mean, come on. Puerto Rico can't be THAT big, can it? hehehe j/k

 

[Helfdan]

You are right on both counts, sir... but I havent reached him on the phone in a coupla days

Wow! That's a FIRST! (about my double correctamundoness, that is.) Anyway, I hope everything's ok with him and his. I trust that his little one recovered from the prior illness ok?
