[OOC] Psionicle, Thread II [Update! Please read and post!]

I doubt my characters action is going to make this thing any simpler. I did edit my post after Jarval posted to add my Mental defense. I hope I can get into position without failing my tumble (and risking death).

Well... thats what Mind Flayers do, isn't it? This guy has one hell of an important artifact (I assume) and I think he might be a serious threat.

Not only is the artifact that he holds seriously important, but you also have had it in your posession. It was on one of the mounts that you brought with you when you ran from the Thri-Kreen outside of Garanasseur, it hadn't been grabbed by anyone and taken with them, and then the robed figure was loading your gear onto the carriages (thus being able to take the Staff).

Hmm... this is all going to be very complicated, especially without a map...

I'll try to make a more clear description of the location.

---

The carriage itself is 25' long, and 15' wide. There are two benches, each with space enough for two people, and a table. Laid out as such...

Code:
  RIGHT
F|-----|
R|*    |B
O|@BTB@|A
N| BTB |C
T|@---@|K
  LEFT

The carriage is also 10' high, and is enclosed (thus, the above picture is entirely inside the carriage). The creature is on top of the carriage, where the star is. There is a hole in the top of the carriage, towards the left from where he is standing, that exposes the inside of the carriage (everything in the box created by the '@' symbols is exposed to the outside).

The only way to reach the creature is to climb up onto the table, then climb out onto the top of the carriage. Thus, you can't really tumble, until you are up on top of the carriage.

---

Does that help, or is it still too complicated or not described well enough?
 

Then adjust my action (I am not changing my action in the thread, because this isn't really a complete change of the action...)

I will get onto the table and up, into the hole in the roof. I will tumble after I get onto the roof (even if not necessary, or even if it is too late) and move behind the Illthid so that someone else that makes it up will also get a flanking bonus.

So I will still tumble/move to get behind (to the far side) of the Illthid to strike him with my damage listed in my post. Tumble isn't really meant to help you balance and climb, but it might add a +2 synergy bonus to any of these checks that are necessary for my action (if it's ok, can I refer to tumble and only tumble as nimbleness? I wear a skin of nimbleness, so it would be the appropriate thing to call it.

Note: I have no problem with going first... because I feel he has to catch his "psionic breath" after that mind blast, and the best he can manage is an Attack of Opportunity with the staff or a tentacle...

Hi all!
I'm back from my too long of a trip and ready to start participating again. It seems like not too much happened since the boards were having problems, but it seems to be picking up again. I have caught myself up on the in-character thread and will be posting for Desimus shortly. It is good to be back.

Welcome back Dkoz and Creamsteak! (Reacted IC, but forgot to welcome you back OOC Creamsteak, sorry, hehe)

Hopefully my course of action wasn't too confusing, I have a feeling this will be a tough fight...at least we might take a glance at a few of the staff's powers :)
 

Don't worry about it, Sollir, I'll sort through everything carefully and figure it out before the post is made.

I'm not sure when that will be, though. I'd like to wait for everyone who is still up to post, but it's already been 6 days. There has to be a cut-off point sometime, which will probably be tomorrow.
 


Thought about it, but I don't think that I will. The 3rd IR really taxed me, and now I'm even more pressed for time than then, so I don't think that joining it would be a good idea.
