OOC - Mad King's Monkey (Thread Closed)

[doghead]

I have posted Round 3 as I won't be able to get back to this for about 24 hours. So I thought that I would get it up now so people can crack on with Round 4.
[MENTION=17100]Fangor the Fierce[/MENTION] - I've just written in a holding description for Eban into Round 3. I'll update it once you get a chance to post. Good luck with work.

thotd.

Interesting idea. I couldn't find anything in the rules about it so I thought I would get some input. You can find the thread here. Feel free to add your thoughts.

BTW, Bardic Performances are Standard Actions to start and Free Actions to maintain. Bards can use this ability for a number of rounds equal to 4+CHA bonus per day. The things you learn when you read the rules.

I just realized the post about a placeholder for Eban. I would have healed Bayar, even after saying the comment to move out of the way, or face them until he drops. This round, if I still get an action, I am still looking to see just how effective we can be since he's blocking what I perceive as the only exit. Would like Bayar to back into the room one five foot step, then allow myself and Sukri some fun. Otherwise, we're bystanders...

As for weapon, don't worry about Eban only having a knife. He's got other things 'up his sleeve'

Apologies if Bayar standing in the way is getting on people's nerves. Eban is the first PC to actually speak to him since the combat started - he doesn't have the faintest idea what anyone else is doing or wants him to do. I'd add to that, Bayar doesn't think greatly of anyone else's combat abilities and is something of an egotist about his own to begin with. And lastly, in the opening rounds a Gnoll tried to bulrush him into the house. Some sort of innate contrariness dictates he's not going to go where "they" want him to go.

Now that he's fully healed up, and considering the above, Bayar is going forwards. Depending how the next round goes he'll either go forward over a "dead" body or bulrush something out the way.

I figured he would be in that mind set, which is why Eban decided to speak up, giving him the choice of either taking the stand alone, or seeing just what the rest of the group can offer. I would vote to lure the gnolls dog inside, as we control the house. Going outside, we dont know what else is out there, as all Eban knows is there were the gnolls at the door and the pair of dogs. That's all he's going on, until told otherwise.

And I am trying to light up the outside right now . . . . .

Generally, if I have to ghost a PC, I will have them either continue what they were doing, or use a holding action. I will retroactively edit in the players preferred actions so long as it does not involve significant rewriting of subsequent events in the post. In this case there shouldn't be a problem and I will edit Round 3 shortly.

I think Bayar is a riot!

Happy to allow spell casting while maintaining a bardic performance with a perform check of DC20 + spell level.

Jan isn't directly above the gnolls, so do you want the spell centred in front of Jan, or over the gnolls where it will illuminate the area of combat?
