The Scattered Ones

[Malin Genie]

Namfoodle will go with his original action of following Seebor down the stairs. If able to touch him and discharge the Cure Serious Wounds, he will. If not, he will simply swear at high speed when the light goes out.

Round 5 - UPDATE

Seebor: Goes down the stairs, exclaiming "I'm going down the stairs unless someone else has another suggestion. I really don't want to split the party but what other choice do we have? If anyone thinks we should regroup outside let me know now!" Seebor provokes an attack of opportunity by moving through Mr Friendly's threatened area (E7) and Mr Friendly bangs him on the head as he passes (14 points of damage). Seebor looks shaken by the blow.

Namfoodle: Follows Seebor down the stairs ... discharges the Cure Serious Wounds. Someone roll for healing.

THE LIGHTS GO OUT

Amaryllis: casts 'dancing lights' ... and lo there was light and it was good. Befor rushing down stairs. Out of curiosity if you're going downstairs are the lights going with you?

Neblin: ???

Mr Friendly: ???

Tomas: Sheathes his rapier (move equivalent), retrieves lantern from pack (move equivalent) ... don't think you can light as well this round.

Everyone going downstairs you just about reach the next level down.

Things still not cleared up: Can the badger attack and deal damage? What does damage reduction mean? Can it do so in the dark? When does it act?

If it cannot act, then I'll cast dancing lights instead and solve the light problem.

Amaryllis things are as unclear for you as they are for your character. You are in the dark. You have seen magic do damage to Mr Friendly. You have seen '+1' weapons not really do any damage to Mr Friendly. That is all you know. You have to make your action with that amount of knowledge. If you summon a creature it is your responsibility to know what it's powers are. You then tell me and I tell you whether or not it does damage, etc.

Kiddies, I propose that we keep this game as being 3rd edition and move to 3.5 when (and if) we finish this game!

 

[Amaryllis]

Okay, well, I have battled with my PDF version of the D&D rules and I cannot work it out...so, I guess the easiest thing is just to cast dancing lights and follow the others downstairs.

[OOC - Seebor and I have ordered the new 3.5 handbook, so at least that might make the rules more transparent. Apologies for all ignorance.]

So are the lights going downstairs as well? If they're going downstairs everyone up with Mr Friendly is still in the dark. If you are leaving them upstairs roll a balance check to avoid falling over as you go downstairs.

 

[Amaryllis]

Sorry, didn't make myself clear. I cast dancing lights and "I" go downstairs. Dancing lights are spread out so that everyone gets light (especially myself) and move with the group.

Hmmm can you do that? Dancing lights must all be in a 10ft radius area ... let me know where on each level and the staircase you plan on having each light and I'll rule on whether a light winks out b/c it is too far from you.

Getting technical now, hunh. Ok. I am walking down the staircase. So is everyone else. Some people are within 6 seconds ahead of me and some within 6 seconds behind me. I figure that makes the total area max of about 60 feet from each other. The lights are spread out in a 10 foot long rectangle (width = width of stairs) centred on the middle of the group but, if necessary, forward enough so that I can see. I assume other characters can speed up or slow down so they are within 30 feet of the light so that they can at least get partial vision. I am a halfling, thus slower than everyone else. If Seebor is going at maximum speed, there is little I can do for him.

Lets just put it down to "light optimization." If you tell me precisely the distance between all characters, I'll calculate it myself.

Although Dancing Lights must be within 10 feet of each other - there is no rule that they have to be within 10 feet of me.
