The Darkness That Comes Before [Closing Down]

[Ghostknight]

Trying to calm down a raging barbarian?

Don't want to spoil your spell, but I just don't think she would be very receptive to that kind of strategy right now.

What? You don't think raging barabarians are going to listen to calm, logical, reasoned answers? Hmm, somehow I don;t think he really expects it either (but casting it at an unconscious foe, would it attract a save modifier? I mean, the unconscious person is not really in a position to resist, or at least could only do so subconsciously!) Heh - what a combo -"Barabarian knockout that person so I can charm them!"

You can probably use the spell without a problem once she is unconscious (sorry, the save won't be any more difficult then ) or when she gets woken up for interrogation (if everything works according to plan, that is). It won't be a threatening environment then anymore, so the spell is actually a lot more likely to work (right now, she would probably still get the +5 bonus to her save against charm effects for being in combat).

Yep, mirrors my thinking (but you can always try you know :

So. IC I don't see myself stoppoing Dara from her rather furious work of whacking said person on the head. I just have to hope the concussion is not too serious

 

[Thanee]

I suppose she can handle that (not Dara, the leader)...

Don't forget, that these are only few seconds ingame time...

2nd round was done, 3rd round is moving towards the center (maybe not even reaching it in some cases), 4th round ready, 5th round release.

I thought I'd just speed things up for you and let the 3rd round cover any movement. Anything else you want to ready before the release? Any other help to the two archers attacking the zombies?

 

[Thanee]

I suppose Donner will be ready to charge that 2nd bear.

I think it was agreed in the OOC thread that we're subduing the bejeezus out of the leader, and charming later.

Only posted here, so you don't think I'm ignoring you!

Dara just isn't argueing at this point... she made her position clear, that's it.
I just don't see a raging barbarian argueing over anything.

In a few rounds she will be a bit more reasonable...

Gotcha, I posted all of your actions for the round, but my inty connection at work is being annoying. As I am only at this office on wednesdays I will finish off the post tomorrow. (maybe tonight if I can). In the meantime did Gespeth want to do anything else when he couldnt get Dara and the others to agree on Charm Person?

Nope. He is standing, invisible, hoping not to be noticed! What can I say - bravery is an inability to understand the consequences of ones actions

One question... is the leader currently armed, or would she have to pick up her polearm first?

I wonder because after looking at the start of the encounter again, I found this part and it certainly looks like she didn't yet have any opporunity to grab her weapon!

There is one individual currently studying the northern face of the menhir. He or she is dressed in heavy black plate and has a wicked looking polearm leaning against the stone nearby.

We probably even could have taken it away, while she was cocooned still... but that's too late now!

Anyways, if there will be any attacks of opportunity (i.e. for picking up weapon or movement), Dara will attack in the same way as she does normally right now (that is trip/subdual).
