(OOC) Scourge of Daggerford (Full)

[FitzTheRuke]

Sorry, dropped the ball on the games, busy pre-season.

S'okay. Glad to know you're still with us.

@jmucchiello I assume my notes that say that Escella is at 8 HP are incorrect. Didn't you all have a long rest recently? Am I forgetting something?

 

[jmucchiello]

I thought she just took 20-odd damage. Did I subtract wrong? We started out the fight full.

You are correct. I am forgetting things.

Edit: Though my notes have her at 7, for some reason.

 

[JustinCase]

Not quite. You kill it with your second attack and the third can then kill the other worg. Now I'm sorry I attacked Unless @FitzTheRuke allows for you killing it before Lunn started.

But the only difference would be him taking cover instead of attacking (move to T9 or thereabout)

Taking this here to avoid cluttering up the IC thread.

In general I prefer to keep my posts largely the same, even if it turns out I missed something that could've changed the outcome. I know that's not optimal sometimes, but hey, it's just a game. My bad for missing the bless rolls.

But also, I usually look to the DM to decide how to deal with these things. Does the DM want to retcon the situation? I'm cool with that. But I don't expect him to.

 

[jmucchiello]

At a table, in real time, forgetting you have bless, which was cast 10 minutes ago, and remembering 20 minutes later would be really disruptive.

PBP, forgetting you have bless, which was cast 4 days ago, and remembering 6 hours later is usually not very disruptive.

The difference in timing should make PBP far more forgiving about forgetting things and also retconning. Still a GM call.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

I agree with all of you. I wouldn't disallow this retcon (especially if I haven't posted yet), but I'm also not particularly bothered by some damage wasted on an overkill. I often feel that the desire to maximize the perfect use of every action can bog the game down.

I might feel differently if I thought you would lose the fight without that extra x damage! I'm always rooting for the PCs.

My final word is: If anyone feels particularly passionate about it, I'd certainly allow it. It doesn't seem like it's a big deal in this particular case, so let's move on.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Fitz, can you please confirm whether there are any rogues (or immediate enemies within range), other than the gnolls that have just appeared?

Depends on what unkilled worg does
I won't argue

 

[MetaVoid]

What do you think about Fog cloud obscuring the camp? it would confuse, but it would also warn them and we couldn't really range-attack the gnolls, only the wargs?
