Ptolus: 165 Vock Row

Ringo -- since I was afk during the ascent, where am I? I had intended to climb, but it sounds like you didn't actually have me do it?

Er, I don't know what you're talking about ...

Sorry for the delay, work and lack of sleep has been kicking my ass something fierce. I will post the next turn later tonight.

Did any of us ever ask how wide the barricade is? I was thinking it had a peak and then immediately sloped off again. Did the second flask land on the slope, or is it like a plataeu up there?

And where did the first flask land in relation to the tunnel and the doorway?

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

It slopes on each side, although a lot of the debris is large, so it's not an exact isosceles triangle, by any means. The first one is off behind the barricade, on the stone floor, about equidistant between the two passages on the far side.

 

[Wool]

But it's narrow enough that Thurst can get a shot off once they clear the fire, yes? I don't really think him trying to climb up would do anyone much good at this point, heh.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Yeah, once they reach the top in the coming round, they can be targeted.

 

[Filthy]

Does the new round start after Vdou's post? Or do the ratlings still need to go?

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Ratlings still need to go.

 

[Wool]

Gah, she is still at the top of the barricade yes? I am not sure how to balance fighting off the ratlings with saving Valana. I don't know if Mairan and Aeshen can handle four at once, but I don't know if I will get to Valana in time if I try to "tank" one of them.

As far as I can tell, right now I can reload and miss again next turn because they are all in melee range with a friendly(2 turns), climb up and get stabbed in the face(1 turn, and I'm dead!), or get attacked down here for shooting at them.(5 turns)

Combat is full of tough choices.
