Begin posting here for OOC please.

Dunor should go hit something.

VennDygrem · « **Reply #2 on:** July 15, 2014, 01:32:56 PM »

Dunor can't hit anything this round, except the goblin in the pit. Though then he, too, would be in the pit.

I'll post later after I'm home from work.

I could just see Dunor jumping down into the pit and skewering the goblin. I would construe that as a charge attack

Shadow, I moved Thespias back down to his original spot in initiative as well.

Actually, does Shandien have any ranged attacks? What's he likely to do? Will he chase down the other goblin, or would he take care of the one in the pit, or turn back?

Bartholomew · « **Reply #6 on:** July 16, 2014, 02:18:37 AM »

He will most likely try to stay close to his allies. As a mercenary, he is objective-oriented, and will not (possibly) jeopardize his life for a kill. He does have a few javelins to throw though.

Here's a possible list of actions for Shandien:

If Dunor pursues the goblin further away
-and no one comes to the goblin aid => Shandien takes care of the goblin in the pit (our ranged characters should just come up and shoot at him though)
-and Dunor is ambushed by enemies => Shandien will rush to his help (and hopefully does not fail his acrobatic check)

If Dunor decides to smack the goblin in the pit silly
-Shandien may pursue the goblin down the hall, though he will most likely stop before reaching the left turn in between and scout first

If suddenly, the others are attacked from behind or on the side
-Shandien will rush to their aid

If suddenly, we are attacked on all fronts by an overwhelming amount of goblinoids
-Well, we're screwed.

Acrobatics would be used if the rope is available. Right now it is hanging in the middle of a 10 foot wide hole so you would have to retrieve it to swing across with Acrobatics. You can also use Athletics to jump across. With a running start you can likely clear it easily enough.

Having said this now watch the entire party fails and falls.....

Good thing I reviewed the athletics rules, or I'd have had some trouble with the check DC's and figuring out how far I could jump. Also, good thing Dunor is trained in Athletics.

response post and the post for goblins turns are up, updating the map now.

Melblen_Cairn · « **Reply #10 on:** July 17, 2014, 12:18:17 AM »

Updated maps are up too now.

VennDygrem · « **Reply #11 on:** July 17, 2014, 12:22:48 AM »

So to satisfy my curiosity, I'm guessing the goblin has something that lets him move out of my reach without provoking an OA?

Melblen_Cairn · « **Reply #12 on:** July 17, 2014, 01:31:27 AM »

No, by all means hit him with an AoO. I forgot to include that you could, and he did not spend the action to shift.

VennDygrem · « **Reply #13 on:** July 17, 2014, 01:58:35 AM »

Sorry, don't mean to sound huffy or anything. It just wasn't mentioned so I wanted to be sure. Some creatures get special abilities to bypass this sort of thing so I wanted to check.

--edit--
Argh, replied to the wrong topic. Darn you, multiple-tabs-open-at-the-same-time!

Melblen_Cairn · « **Reply #14 on:** July 17, 2014, 07:46:05 AM »

I probably should have mentioned it in the post for the goblin that it gave an AoO. Normally I will put any ability usage into the combat mechanics section to explain why something is not allowed to occur as well.

Nanshork · « **Reply #15 on:** July 17, 2014, 10:06:47 AM »

Let's see if I fall into a pit!

Looks like it.

Melblen_Cairn · « **Reply #17 on:** July 17, 2014, 11:58:40 AM »

Doh, Now I need to load up another map to put you on

yes you did fall in. I will get a post up tonight after work.

Melblen_Cairn · « **Reply #18 on:** July 18, 2014, 08:29:02 AM »

Updating the map now.

Also did Galadren want to burn his elven accuracy on the miss?

Bartholomew · « **Reply #19 on:** July 18, 2014, 04:50:27 PM »

So, are we planning to continue on the upper level or follow Tanthalus? We can easily use some ropes to pull Tanthalus up, or likewise, use said rope to descend. Shandien will naturally do the former, unless anyone happens to think otherwise.

Instead of just moving the edge of the pit, I decided it's more efficient to just make my jump across the pit now. But alas, the goddess of misfortune happens to find me her favorite and chooses to plague me with a horrible horrible role. So yeah, I'm down there now too.
