stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. II [OOC]

[Stormwind]

Lief, seeing the violence in the room and to his papers, lets out a horrendous screech, and reaching for something on the other side of the desk, pulls forth a ancient looking greatsword. The man takes a swing at the impertanent paladin, and while the weapon clangs off of the shifter's armor, the force of the blade is significant.

I just wanted to check, but unless I'm missing something, shouldn't Jarrith and Khensu get an AoO when Lief picks up the weapon (Since he is picking it up from the desk rather than drawing the weapon)?

Unless I'm missing something this would be the 'Pick up an item' action from the Combat actions, which does provoke an AoO.

 

[stonegod]

The sword was next to/leaning on the table and thus close at hand, not buried and difficult to get at. Thus, it is more of a draw a weapon action, not a pick up an item.

@stonegod: I just want to check, but can Ashlyn use a swift action to command her raven to harry at the same time as she does a readied attack?

You can make a swift action whenever you can make a free action, so yes she can direct her raven.

Cool ... then she does

Added the following to the group gear (as always, If anyone wants to take anything, then just let me know and add it to your character sheet):

- magical ancient greatsword (Group)
- magical ancient chain shirt (Group)
- Scroll of restoration, break enchantment, and remove disease (Group)


I have put the scroll into the haversack temporarily, but I would suggest that someone else takes the scroll ... perhaps Tessa, Marot, or Jarrith?

I'd recommend either Jarrith or Marot take the scroll, in case Tessa is occupied or unavailable at the time.

Whats with all the magical greatswords in this place?? Seems like everyone has one.

 

[DEFCON 1]

I'd recommend Marot take it, since he's ranged and thus less likely to get dropped as often as Jarrith is. Better to have it in the posession whose more likely to remain on his feet.

I agree that it would make sense not to have all our eggs in one basket, and as DEFCON mentioned, Marot would seem to be the most logical choice.

Remember that someone still needs to use read magic (or make a DC25 Spellcraft check) to decipher the scroll.

 

[s@squ@tch]

Marot could use his UMD skill to try and decipher it (DC30 -- with a +15 modifier -- so only a 25% chance). But it might not work as well as say, Janis casting Read Magic for us.

Or he could try and use his Spellcraft (+8 to decipher scrolls vs. DC25, so only a ~15 % chance)

Decipher a Written Spell
This usage works just like deciphering a written spell with the Spellcraft skill, except that the DC is 5 points higher. Deciphering a written spell requires 1 minute of concentration.
