The Reconquista OOC

[Branding Opportunity]

Congrats James Heard on just passing your "1000 posts" mark!

On a completely seperate topic, how are folks doing/feeling out there? Ever since my absence things have been a little slow on almost everyone's part, it seems. Are people still enjoying themselves? Are we just getting too bogged down in this combat? This CR 12 creature just has boatloads of hp, I wish it could go faster myself. Combat in the PbP world is a tricky thing.

Anything you wish we could have more/less of? Let me know, I have pretty thick skin and I want this to be fun for everyone (including myself, of course).

Wow. Didn't notice...

Like I said, I'm a little slower all around. I don't even have a problem with the combat, though I think we're really suffering without our kick-butt Paladin and we've got "brand new party-itus" bits floating around from not having ever actually done this together I think. I still have to look up everyone's character sheets a lot to figure out what they're going to do and why, and that's not normal for midlevel parties that grew up together.

OTOH the only other option for living party members seems to be Thanee I think.

I have no idea what that means!

@BO: I'm a little slow currently, tho I try to keep up. If you want to continue, when I have not yet posted, feel free to have Latalya just keep shooting for now.

Bye
Thanee

I thought you had Dimension Door readied?

Mr. Smurf, I just realized something kinda funny. This maneuver you want to pull with the elemental is pretty complicated, and you know that thing only as an Intelligence score of 6. Are you sure you still want to do this? Who knows where or how hard it will throw you?

I'm hoping to just use it as a stepping stone, more than anything else...

It may go horribly wrong, but hey... Morley takes one more round of acid damage and bleeds for one more point, he's dead, and I can't think of any other way to get to him with a standard action left this round, so it's a chance I have to take

-Hyp.

This is obviously going to end badly.

Right (even though I still don't know how I could read this out of that quoted part ). But Latalya needs to touch the target, isn't it too crowded in the front to do so?

Well, if we coordinate that, it should be possible to get there with Eshanna or Reivik or even both this round.

I just figured that you had a good reason not to use it. I know I've been not wanting to toss that Wall of Force in the first freakin' encounter, but it seems to be the only sure way to prevent any more damage from hitting Morley beyond simply killing the monster before it has a chance to act. Besides, I was thinking more about untrained Heal checks and fresh targets for the monster than coordinated assaults.

Taking a look at the map of the IC thread, touching Eshanna would not be a problem, as it's only one diagonal space away from you. The additional benefit of casting Dimension Door on her instead of Reivik is that you won't have to cast defensively as Eshanna's body is providing you cover and therefore preventing AoO against you by the creature. Having said that, you certainly have the movement allowance to move up next to Reivik and cast the spell on him, although you would have to cast defensively, and would also draw an AoO from the creature as you moved to a free space next to him.
