(And yes, they codename fetuses. Their first daughter was codenamed Strawberry. I'm pretty sure this is due to growing up in a government family.)

Oh man, that's classic.

You need to be careful about that. Friend of mine got her name legally changed when she turned 18 because no one, and I mean no one, not a single person even grandma, called her by any of her legally given names. Everyone called her Semi. Which was what her parents called her when she was on the way (short for Yosemite, place of conception), and what they couldn't get out of the habit of calling her even once she arrived.

And yeah, all that way for Blizzcon, how geeky is that. They are going to revoke my sorority membership if I am not careful.

We figured we could explain away a trip for blizzcon if we made it into a trip that was twice as long at Disney. We'll be away from home from tomorrow night until the next thursday after.

Sorry for the clueless post there and it being late on top. Between my mom's surgery and getting ready to leave for the week, I seem to have hit a clueless streak. In the event that I do that ever again, just hit whatever I'm close to and isn't on my side.

No worries. I just wanted to get this combat round (and maybe another) completed before Blizzcon, that's all.

Heck, I was surprised that Mata not only hit something with her crossbow, but killed the monster that was bragging and acting all tough before it even did anything. So surprised, I started to wonder if the thing was faking it, or about to become a rat zombie.

Not as surprised as Mata was!

It's the tragicomedy of low level combat!

 

[Wool]

I don't know if that was an uncouth request or not. I considered "aid anothering" Mata, but knowing her luck she would still miss! Or only do non lethal damage!



P.S. I considered having Thurst mock Mata finally hitting something, but decided that even he isn't that heartless.

Edit: P.P.S. I keep thinking up amusing actions that would be out of character (and alignment) for Thurst to do, but perfect for that barbarian character I wrote up to do. How would a crazy person "aid another"? Here's a hint, it would involve ratling corpses, a little drama, a little comedy, and a whole lot of romance.

I think you are taking a -4 penalty for firing into melee combat. Even then though, your crossbow is only -1 difference from your mace. You should have hit something by now.

That is probably right, I had forgotten that because our house rules de-emphasize and simplify combat a lot, and that is one of the things that got jettisoned. It's more like a hybrid between the storyteller system and D&D than real D&D to be honest.
