But if he's a Slayer, he could wear armor, and why not? But then that would ruin his disguise, but not using one of your major class features seems so inefficient, and Bruce Cordell is not the inefficient type.

She, not he.
Want Darian to Polymorph Ellyn, so we can interogate her later? It's not like it matter much if she's a psion - a wizard would actually be tougher. Greater Biocurrent, smirk. It might be decent if you got to use it for the full duration. Like that's going to happen.
BTW, for the Banewarrens game, you can't full attack from a ready action. Either delay until they close, which gives them the chance to hit first, or ready and only get one attack.
Err, I guess I should post my actions for the current round too.

I forgot William's partial action last round. He struck Ellyn and hit (12 damage).
Argent, what do you want the summoned creature to do if you successfully cast the spell?
Hammerhead, I don't see a new action for you (although you mentioned it in your comments to Argent).
The latest map has two D's. The one next to Bellus is the dwarf. The other one is Darian. I'll clear that up in the next map.

Uriel, sorry to hear about your head. Take care, eh?

Can Darian change places with Lysander or something? He really needs to be in that spot. Time to break Ellyn's concentration on the bio current.
Argent, blow the Horn of Good and then move in to free William from the Domination. Your initiative is fast enough to free him so he can act normally.
EDIT: Dang, I just saw Keia's move. Looks like everyone wants G6.

Heh.
From G6, I wanted to fire off both Quint Blasts, hitting the Mindflayer, Ellyn, and the bald mage.
That's okay, I've thought of something else. I can move to H7 without provoking an AoO since Darian would only be entering a the threatened area, and leaving a square, then toss a Forceblast that would hit William, the Dwarf, Ellyn, and the bald mage (Bayla from the note?), although she'd have cover. If Tarkus can move up and use his Horn of Goodness, then William could move out of the way too.

Huh. I posted a message earlier about my charge actions to the very square Tarkus was flamestriking, and I KNOW I saw it in the thread. I guess I need to think of a new action.
And Argent, I don't think my comments are really unjustified. Let's look at the track record here, shall we?
Rex Humana was the cleric with a necklace of fireballs. Naturally, as a tank cleric, his dexterity score and reflex save is low. Nor does Rex protect himself from fire in ANY way. When Rex is first fireballed, it is likely the necklace would go off, perhaps finishing Rex off and killing the rest of the group. Not the smartest move there.
Then, you cast very few buffs upon yourself, despite having several memorized. I think a few Shield of Protections, Endure Elements, Protection from Elements, Bull's Strength's, and Endurances would help the party greatly. And you also buff yourself with Divine Favor, Bull's Strength, Endurance, and Greater Magic Weapon, turning you into a combat machine, especially if you use your excess cash to buy yourself an amazing Bead of Karma.
Then, you take up room in a narrow hallway in a tough fight, not allowing a more effective fighter to engage the enemy. I mean, you did twelve damage that fight.
Upon healing after that fight, you suggested we wait to use a wand of CLW, allowing the enemy to prepare, attack us, and wait long enough for Groknar's Rage, and everyone's Haste to expire. Not a smart move. Even after this suggestion was shouted down, you still used a CLW wand, instead of a more powerful healing spell.
Likewise, when Groknar was down to thirteen hit points (essentially the equivalent of Tarkus being down to seven), you refused to cast a life saving healing spell, instead wasting a fourth level spell to Summon Monster, which was probably disrupted anyway, given its Full Round casting time, and would be useless if cast. Summon Four is probably the worst Summons for sheer combat effectiveness. You could have at least cast it BEFORE going into battle.
Then, according to my perception, you were flamestriking the very square I was charging into. Somehow, my post was deleted or altered, or never really appeared and I imagined the whole thing. Groknar goes before Tarkus, and would have died from the FlameStrike.
Granted, Groknar is no combat genius. His specialty is sheer destruction, but that works for him. Tarkus's approach, whatever that is, doesn't. I don't like telling people what to do, but when their poor tactics get my character killed (or about to), I have to step in.
Don't take this personally. It's not an attack. But your combat tactics need some work.

Disappointed Ultimatum
I'm not the DM, I'm just a player, but I do have a few issues to adress.
Hammerhead:
here's an idea, If you want to play a tactically inclined character, GO RIGHT AHEAD but don't get p.o'd at someone else b/c they're not up to your 'standards'.
Same thing goes if you want to 'advise'... unless your 'advice' is friendly, keep it to your self. You've done nothing in this thread but b*tch and complain... When you're not metagaming by telling everyone what their character should do.
Everyone: Speaking of Metagaming, all of the tactics are going on OOC. Just thought I'ld point that out. My tactics won't in any way be affected by anything that is said in this forum, unless it is said by the DM. If you want to tell William what to do, TELL WILLIAM, not JEMAL.
If you're just pointing out something that I haven't noticed but William would have (IE. UM, Charging may not be a good idea as Verra is in the way, etc) that is the ONLY time I'll listen to the advice OOC, usually with a response of "Oops, duh, thnx)
Back to hammerhead: You said you don't like telling people what to do, but you have been doing that almost non-stop. "Don't use the wand, trade one of your high-lvl spells to heal me", "Don't shoot at that space", etc
Now b/c of all this I offer you three options(As a player, not the DM):
A) Stop making the game no fun for the rest of us AND Apologize to everyone for making the game less fun. (If nobody else finds it less fun, then fine, read the next part of this post.)
B) Tell me to f*ck off.
C) Leave.
GRU - If none of the above 3 things happens within 48 hours I'm leaving, just kill William off or whatever, I don't care. OR If you don't want me here b/c of this post, just say so and I'll leave, but don't let this affect any of our other games that we're in, pls.
Everyone: If the rest of you(Players) don't mind what's happening, and it's not a problem for you, then say so and I'll leave, b/c if you actually LIKE playing like this then more power to you, but I'm not going to.
And to think I was actually looking forward to this.
BTW, in case nobody has guessed, I'm hoping he chooses Option A, b/c anything else means someone leaving the game.

I aim to misbehave
Jemal, everyone:
I have to agree with Jemal (well, I don't have to, but I do agree). Hammerhead, please play your character and stop attacking everyone else. By the way, after your post when you say its not an attack, its typically an attack.
Pbp is not the best for tactics unless the group has played together for some time. In addition, in play, Groknar, Tarkus et al are new to our group, and therefore I would think there would be some tactical struggles as we learn to work together.
I'm sure that people could attack your play as well, but . . . as you see, there haven't been any.
Please change your attitude Hammerhead, thank you.
