The Invasion of Mori OOC [3.5][planar][PAUSED]

[moritheil]

In this case it doesn't change anything, but I wanted to just point it out. Just so we're all on the same page.

Regarding Snargle, it's the weapon he has, so it makes perfect sense to pull it out. I imagine someone else had the sense to make it and give it to him or else he took it from someone who knew what useful properties adamantine had.

Regarding the gargoyle, the issue is really a matter of roleplaying technique. It becomes more obvious when two PCs are involved - consider the following examples:

"He grabs her, preventing her from leaving."

"His eyes widen slightly as she declares her intent to leave. As quickly as he can, he reaches for her wrist, hoping to grab her and prevent her from leaving."

The first example is not so good - it assumes a control over the other PC that you do not have. It is also a little short on details. The second example is better because it is a clearer depiction of what is being attempted, and because it does not assume success.

As a DM (and not a player) I don't really get offended when you abuse NPCs, but as someone who appreciates technique, I can't help but note the difference in what is posted.

Sorry about that, Mori. I replaced Loriel with Silhouette in the RG.

OOC: I was just thinking maybe you slipped and thought he was level 15 for some reason, since your spell penetration stats factor in at 17 with a +2 bonus, implying level 15 as well . . . Thanks for the fast response!

I've got Greater Penetration as well, 13+4=+17.

 

[moritheil]

Ah, okay. Thanks.

I think that's it for round 4, and we can start posting actions for round 5 as soon as I roll the save vs. hold monster.

From the initiative it looks like Snargle goes before the worm, but I don't see his attack against the golem having been resolved, did I just miss it or get my rounds mixed up?

Also how long does the frightened condition exist? Or should I just keep posting fleeing and regenerating actions until you say I can choose otherwise?

Blerg - after looking at my spell selection, I realize how many of my spells affect all in an area around me, ally and foe alike. Piffle. That's what I get for being a villain!

I got confused because the worm originally acted before Snargle, but delayed to catch him with that fireball - so his new initiative is after Snargle. My mistake. I'm editing now. I rolled a 3 for your attack, though

As for the frightened condition . . . the monster entry is pretty thin on details. Given the severity of the effect, I imagine it lasts for a few rounds at least. I'll have you attempt to save again once you're well away to upgrade to shaken.

*Does the washing machine* Go Gabriel, go Gabriel, it's your birthday!

Boo-yah!

Ah-hem, yes, sorry, I'm rather pleased that Gabriel was able to pull that off. We're not talking to this squirmy ya-hoo, right? Are we just going to kill it and take its stuff?

 

[Shayuri]

There's some disagreement on that point...but I think the majority is for killing and looting.

We ARE demons after all.

 

[Bloodweaver1]

Good Job.

Now we only have the Iron Golem to worry about.
