PCs Still Kicking Puppies OOC [CLOSED, original players still welcome]

Silly question time: Pestilential Strike, is Accalon's "smite" attack, but it doesn't say anything about being aligned to evil… Do you want to leave it like that or align it?

Hmmm... is there any reference to a Paladin's Smite Evil as being aligned to good? Can't find one in the PHB. If you can quote a source that does say it is, then the Unholy Warrior's smite-like ability would probably be evil, but otherwise, no.

Not to my knowledge... Just sort of assumed, but no reference in the PHB, no big deal on my account.

From the Book of Exalted Deeds:

Exalted Smite [Exalted]
Your smite ability is empowered with holy energy.
Prerequisites: Smite evil class ability.
Benefits: When you use your smite evil class ability, your weapon is considered good-aligned for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction.

The fact that this feat exists seems to make it clear that a smite is not normally an aligned attack.

Telsar, Ahh what do you want to do about the timeline? (Just curious, we'll taken about the same amount of time I suspect)

I was going to ask everyone about that here. Does it stretch credibility for Loni to have run to a place maybe 1/2 way across the city, and T'aria, Gwyn, and Alicia to run back, in the time since Accalon sent Loni downstairs? Doesn't seem too far off, given the time Ezuvial fought Brie, and Accalon chatted with him, and you guys now making plans upstairs, so everything will probably, um, hit the fan, at the same time.

It's also possible for Alev, Sunedilar, and Aligor to arrive too, if they decide to go back to Brie's immediately. I won't object if these PCs "just happen" to decide that, but of course, they are free to do whatever they want. Like screw making deals with Hex and just kill him, if they want. Or I should say, try to kill him.

I don't think it is too far off, because it is a small town, is it not?

It's small, but it's still a capital city, as stated in the very first IC post:
"the small city of Taeirn, capital of the coast-based kingdom of Relink", so it can't be too small. But I think you guys will get there soon. Actually, it would help to know for sure if Alicia is going. I'm almost sure she is, but it hasn't been said in-character yet.

To Guilt Puppy: I'm not sure what you think we need to edit. That Alev was still talking about the 50 gold offer after Hex changed it to 100? It's always possible for Alev to turn down the job, and Aligor and/or Sunedilar to decide to walk into the trap, um, I mean, do the job.

well shoot... It looks like Isida and I posted moments apart. (I'm not sure how she could have untied and carried on all the conversations in the posts from before so I like Accalon doing it.)

I should have posted them earlier but I wasn’t expecting an update so quickly and I sort of thought Isida and I where going to strategize some more…

So what does everyone want to do?

I suggest Telsar, repost his update, making it after Accalon's actions, and then Isida post a modified post of Lydia's actions.

It will be a simply fix once I know what everyone wants.

PS did only Lydia hear the noise or did we all her a noise but only she heard metal on metal?

Darn. I wouldn't have posted, but Lydia had already defined what she was going to do, and I hadn't seen any other plan-making, so I thought you guys were relatively ready for something else to respond to. I've noticed that deciding on cooperative plans in PBPs is difficult.

I'm not sure how we should do this now Kind of hard to unring the bell. Maybe Accalon's post could be reworded to say it happened before that? Isida, your thoughts? You guys have more experience with these kind of PBP goofs than I do.

PS did only Lydia hear the noise or did we all her a noise but only she heard metal on metal?

You all heard a commotion, but only Lydia distinguished and identified the metal on metal sound. She's the only one who made a good Listen roll.
