Yttermayn's "Saga of the Dragon Cult" OOC

He's referring to an incident involving an EN World user, Reveille, who was involved in several of the play-by-post games around here.

My combat comments.

Scott, casting defensively is only to avoid AoOs. It provides no benefit when your opponents are all at range and only risks fizzling the spell.

Ytterman, I believe since Scrag was healed up before his turn he acts normally at his normal initiative. Going unconscious might reasonably make him prone and drop things in hand though.

Maps are tough. I have not had great success with them as a DM over the years here. I recently found out though that if you have a pdf map you can copy into MSPaint and create a jpeg. I was not aware that all PCs come with MSpaint until my brother pointed it out in our yahoo group email game where we can post jpeg photos. It has worked out well there but I have not tried it here yet with the file posting limits.

Crazy Monkey, I'm not sure if it is obstructed terrain between us and the kobolds, but if not then you can charge and make an attack on round 1.

Want cool maps? Work on them as I do, check this link of the game I'm running to see the kind of maps I make. I'm proud of my maps, so what? =P

I saw the original post and write down a comment on palge 6, but I lost track of it eventually. Dirty business.

I looked up Charge prior to posting Scrag's action. It can only be done as a Full-Round Action, or as a Standard Action if you are limited to only a standard action or move action in the round for some reason (for example, during a surprise round).

 

[Amaury]

yes Charge is Full Round.

Ytter, Rosalia had moved behind some cover up to 30. so not on the trail as you drew on map. thanks.

otherwise, who is it up to?

Can you give me coordinates? The only cover is the brush, which gets thicker the further away from the trail you get (to a point). In the character's hindsight, it would seem the kobolds picked this part of the trail to set up an ambush due to the openness of the area between the trail and their own hiding place (which they had been using as cover until they sprang the trap), and the distance that a victim would have to traverse before they could even reach the kobolds in melee. In short, what little cover there is in the area is roughly parallel to the trail out near the kobolds. Maybe I will update the map in a bit and try to show where the low cover would be...

 

[Amaury]

ok, sorry, I thought there were trees to get cover.
so just place me in M11 please.

For those of you also playing at gleemax/wotc forums, looks like one of the wotc goobers spilled orange soda on the server again.

Yeah I'm having troubles accessing the site too.
