(OOC) Fitz's Folly (ToA PBP)

Well okay then! Harb can pull off a sneak attack possibly.

I thought it was strange that you went that way. This is the way that the water gets in to the trap. Not a way I expected anyone to go. Too late to turn around!

PCs may not know it, but I don't mind letting the players know that this won't split the party. You're just going to the same place from two very different ways to get there.

I will post a map soon.

This is why I'm such a big fan of maps. I've realized that unless the situation is extremely simple, people are really bad at textually communicating spacial information (both explaining and understanding). I have the same challenges in the game I'm running, ie it's not a problem with this game, it's a human problem. Even a crude scribbled outline is very useful in clearing things up.

Anyway, Rodrigo is now wet with salt water and believes that some of his companions are perhaps dead due to a poorly designed trap (sure it's dangerous, but they may have just wrecked the tunnel... there may be a very good reason for it but Rodrigo doesn't know that). So in a stabby mood.

Apologies, all. -- I somehow missed the flurry of action that's happened.
If you ever find you are waiting on me, please send me a PM -- it's very rare that I'm not about.

/sheepish apology.

That's fine. I kind of had the impression that Miss Imogen was paralysed with indecision, which is what you went for when you described it. I suppose they could have used your help, but it worked out anyway.

Everyone check out my map! *I* didn't make the main thrust of it, but I'm still proud of my google-fu and my ability to composite bits and bobs from here-and-there. I mean, I only use MS Paint and Excel to make these things, it's not like I'm going crazy on photoshop or anything. I'm becoming an excellent google-thief.

 

[Ancalagon]

That's quite impressive for only MS paint and Excel for mapmaking! :O

Question: There is a pile of crate/wood/pallets? in the F-G, 14-20 (ish) area. how tall are these? Would they provide cover?

Absolutely, yes. Three-quarters cover (+5 AC) if you're all the way behind them, relative to someone, or half-cover (+2 AC)if you're shooting around a corner.

Lol, that's where Harb is heading.

[gargoyleking]

Are we onto round 2? Or still waiting for something to happen?

Only Nameless and Dellrak have gone. I think Rodrigo and Chrysagon are waiting for Miss Imogen to shoot before rushing out at the two smugglers.
[MENTION=23484]Kobold Stew[/MENTION]? Wanna make Imogen shoot?

 

[Fradak]

The idea is to progress as a swat team. Shield first, only one target, Chrysagon let the others do the killing from behind. We don't stop and go through everything until we reach the leader. Ok?
I hope they don't shoot better than goblins...
