The OOC Thread: WITH A VENGEANCE

[Geigan]

Told you, completely arbitrary system.

And I'll do that in a moment. Somebody check for me if one can run while using Tumble?

Probably depends on interpretation of the DC 25 action.

If Run can be considered normal movement, then it probably means it just gets halved and he can go ahead. However withdraw is superior here since he'd be moving the same speed without having to worry about a skill check. Depends on if there are zombies in the way of where he's going to though.

I thought you were assumed to always be running in a fight?

No dear, that only applies for redshirts.

Really?

Looks like you're running if you spend the whole round moving, so you could still tumble. No special running stuff, otherwise.

That'd be Exploration movement Raineh, not the Run action which is a bit different.

I was looking at the tactical movement section.

But it doesn't look like there's anything to prohibit tumble checks.

[Kuroimaken]

RD, that's fluff for "we don't wanna make up stupid facing rules".

But more to the point, I was referring to checking if one can use Tumble while perfoming a Run action (which is a full-round action, after all). I don't really see why not, I just never saw it used.

Tumble does apply a half-speed penalty, however, so Claudia is only going to get 100 feet away from the zombies (which is just as well, even on a charge they can't cover more than 60 feet).

[Geigan]

Sounds about right. Btw I meant the DC 15 tumble action, my bad. No difference to what I was talking about, but still.

Anyway we good for their turn then?

RD, that's fluff for "we don't wanna make up stupid facing rules".

Yet they still thought they had them judging by a few areas of the rules like detect magic. 

[Kuroimaken]

Incidentally, between the crit plus three regular hits, methinks the dinosaur be DOWN.

Probably a good thing Claudia got out then. How much damage to the dino?

[Kuroimaken]

Roughly 30 damage.

[Geigan]

Sounds like a dead dino. Back to us then I suppose.

Oslecamo, you want that lift or do you think you can outrun em easily enough?

Venn do you want to try an AoE on the marked targets (they're in a rough clump of 6 presumably) or just have you and Elizabeth swing some more?

[Raineh Daze]

Oh well. It was inherently useless after getting a flying foe.

Maybe I should summon bats again?

Could they carry Claudia you think? If you have something that could get her off the ground that'd probably be best. If not, another dinosaur might be a nice distraction for her too.

[Raineh Daze]

They're dire bats (so Large), and it'll be 1d4+1*2 of them. Fairly sure they can get Claudia off the ground.

[Kuroimaken]

Get her off the ground? They can practically graft themselves onto her back and give her a pair of kickass batwings. Well within their light load, I think.

MAKE IT HAPPEN

[Raineh Daze]

I dunno, is she in the light load for something with 17 STR?

[Geigan]

86 lbs for one is a light load, and 173 for a medium load. One can probably get away with carrying her at medium load which only hampers its speed a bit. If two carried her at the same time it should be a piece of cake.

Either way this needs to happen.

[Raineh Daze]

Ah, but you forget--they're Large.

I'm not sure if it would be bipedal or quadrupedal, but that's at least twice as much for a light load.

[oslecamo]

Claudia can probably keep outrunning the zombies, but she would much rather have a flying ride if somebody lends her a hand pair of wings. She isn't that heavy, as she subsists on a diet of light laughs.

Even better then. Do eeeeet.

[VennDygrem]

Hmm, I suppose it's worth a shot to do one more AoE, though I think that's likely to be the last we can do even remotely safely before it eats away too many bodies. After that it would be best to keep doing one-at-a-time.

[Raineh Daze]

In preparation: how many bats will we have?

Multiply By Two 1d4+1 : 2 + 1, total 3
