[Pathfinder] B6: The Veiled Society

I'm actually away (FL) this week. I have internet access but it's slow, so I probably won't post as much as usual.

The rules for restrictive tunnels are here.

I'd say these tunnels are narrow and low, so for a medium sized character, penalties are:

move: 1/2
light weapon: -4
1-handed: -8
2-handed: unusable

Of course, once you emerge into a chamber the penalties no longer apply.

How far back from his present position would Caridoc have to go to be able to see round the right-left bend?

Ah, I revise my comment to say "I wasn't aware of such rule in the actual core handbooks." Thanks for the link!

'Doc is bringing up the rear, so to see what Kynar sees it would be about 20', which is occupied by the rest of the party.

Sorry I wasn't clear. I mean how far back does he have to go before he can see anything approaching from the rear.

From your response, it sounds like he is there already.

 

[kinem]

Yup.

Did Kinem state that, because I wasn't aware of a game rule stating that you can't use a sword in a small passage. There are rules for squeezing into narrow spaces, which may apply, but I don't think there is anything that says you can use your sword.

I didn't actually know about the rule, but my image of the tunnels made it so Kynar wouldn't be properly able to fight. He's an agility fighter, scuffling in tunnels is not his shtick and RPwise he'd have little inclination to muddy his blade and possibly not even hit.

Kinem, not sure I understand the map, must the group climb the ladder to reach the hobgoblins?

 

[kinem]

Kynar: No, the nearest hobgoblin is close to you, in the small chamber to which the tunnel led.

The ladder is back in the second cellar, which the party passed through, and is much like the one in the first cellar by which you came down.

At this point I might as well post the map in the IC for you all to see.

 

[kinem]

Theroc, do you want Kynar to enter the small chamber and attack, and if so, which of the 3 hobgoblins will he target?

Holyman, due to the tunnel and small chamber, Rezak can't stay out of this unless he stays in the tunnel and blocks the way for the rest of the party. It's time for him to show the others what he's made of ...

Apologies for the delay Kinem, will come up with an answer tomorrow. Though, how much room is in this area? Is it still constricted so his swords are useless? I'd gotten the impression it was open enough Kynar's swords would be available.
