Re: General Discussion

Which reminds me, I really should flesh out the background story for that Halfling character I've been keeping in reserve.

Re: General Discussion

Stand still Mezlo....

Re: General Discussion

He's a ranged attacker; he doesn't need to move.

I'm not sure what you'd gain from this.

Re: General Discussion

I've spoken with TM and trained him on the mobs that he'll be using on Saturday. Just as a heads up, some of the abilities that said monsters will be using are not "by the books" and more or less fall under the "homebrew" category. Let the wild cards fall.

Also: TM, I'm drafting up the Monster cards you'll need for the remainder of this portion of the campaign. I'll PM them to you when I'm finished so you can add them to your files.

Did you train him on Grappling?

[Mezlo]

Re: General Discussion

I dont trust Yyg with that training... I think it might require, /gulp, a flowchart...

Oh and on another note. The attack actions TM takes, is it of his own volition, or does will he be role playing the mobs as standard mobs with a enmity generation similar to FFXI?

Grammar, go home. You are drunk.

The actions I take with the mobs will be according to my own battle plan, but filtered through role-playing. If somebody does something flashy and impressive, depending on the type of mob the reaction might be to try to bum rush the threat, run away in fear, or if they're intelligent and experienced to adjust their tactics to adapt to the new information. I'm to make things as difficult as possible for you without metagaming.

Re: General Discussion

What TM said.

Also: I just finished explaining that all to Mezlo over the phone. He now understands and is just as excited as everyone else to see what you've got.

Re: General Discussion

Do we have a start time on saturday?

[Firewind]

Re: General Discussion

Mez: TM is going to be the AI to the mobs have a more realistic battle plan than "beat up the person closest to me"

I was home and drinking but far from drunk. I was out on the back porch smoking a cigar and enjoying a glass of wine (only 2 total for the night.) It is hard typing in the dark with only the light from the monitor to use as the sole light source however...

Re: General Discussion

Armando we burned your other Obscuring Mist trying to get the hammerdin back on his feet. Rolled full hp and then he went right back down. Things aren't going so well.

[Firewind]

Re: General Discussion

I said we should have burned a second level spell for Cure Moderate Wounds

That said, Lili ironically saved Mezlo's life with an untrained Heal check at -1 due to the negative level (natural 20).

There's a lot less Goblins now but that corner was a really bad place to put yourself because getting healing is going to be hard.

Also don't finish the Goblins in mêlée, they will explode.

That's fine. What's good for the group is good for me.

Sorry if I complicated the fight for you guys. I failed to take into consideration that none of you have had to deal with concealment before. That's the reason I haven't used it before - it's tricky to deal with. But as you can see my healing's starting to get pretty limited. We took a lot of damage from the first bomber and I really didn't feel good about our odds of survival with 2 more on the loose. If it were just straight up damage we could've coped with Protection From Evil and fighting defensively, but there's not a lot I can do to protect you guys from Reflex save damage.

Also don't finish the Goblins in mêlée, they will explode.

I assume you're talking about the bombers specifically.
