S@squ@tch's Against the Giants - Team Black OOC - Grinding

One note for archery -- you are in a marshland, dotted with lots of trees. After about 60-80' of distance between two parties, things start to gain the effects of cover.

While this is true, Aeranduil can also use Pierce the Foliage from Woodland Archery, which helps some:

If you hit a foe with a Miss Chance due to Concealment with a ranged attack, you can ignore the Miss Chance against the same foe in the following round.[/sblock]

Is it marshy enough that something with a low-slung scorpion body as big as a horse leaves a definable outline in the muck? Or are the trees defined enough that Ipshivi can call out targeting information specific enough to allow ranged attacks to target a specific square (especially for a creature larger than one square in area- that is, something like "he is 5 feet past that little yellow shrub there")?

 

[s@squ@tch]

Portions of the ground are quite solid, while others are soft and wet. Trees, vines, and shrubs are quite abundant and there often are unusual specimens with odd colorations or outlines.

Granted, the farther you move away from the main group, the harder it will be for the stationary Aeranduil to see the exact spot for aiming -- after about 100', he will be unable to see anything specific.

Is Aeranduil going to pursue the scorrow as well? (i.e. move towards Ipshivi and Morika) If so, how far is the subgroup planning on the pursuit (either in rounds or distance)?

 

[Rhun]

Aeranduil will not pursue. He has seen one too many dwarves end up in pit traps, and while he is much more intelligent than any dwarf, he wouldn't want to chance being led into a trap.

 

[pathfinderq1]

Ipshivi is willing to maintain the pursuit for a little while- say about as long as either the Call Lightning or one charge of Expeditious Retreat lasts, whichever comes first. Don't want to get to far out into the trackless waste.

 

[Voadam]

So is the W in the green circle near tower 2 the huge dragon? Can we see it?

 

[s@squ@tch]

Ok, so for group Black, I see the following people still around:

DEFCON1: Yoggrith
Rhun: Aeranduil
patherfinderq1: Ipshivi
drothgery: Sanne
Voadam: Voadam (currently out of town)
redclaw: Thanor


People I haven't seen:

isida kep'tukari

Hopefully I'm mistaken -- and thanks to all for sticking with the game during the ups and downs!

 

[Voadam]

Voadam has encountered a crocodile before, but did not know what it was.

 

[Redclaw]

I guess team black is resurrected. Let's crunch some BBEGs.
