Mythic Sagas: OOC Talk 2

Okay, the lone live tanarukk remaining on the map is going to stand up.  Agni can't use the AoO to trip him again, but the question is... does he want to attack him or not?  He looks pretty bad; one hit will likely kill him.

Are you asking me?

If he is getting up but not trying to hit Agni, he might let him flee.

I don't think we should let him flee. Taking one prisoner to question might be a good idea. So maybe hit him with the flat of your blade (subdual damage).

Yeah, maybe... But I don't have any more attacks this round...

The AoO for him standing up?

ksb already rolled it for me to trip the healthy tanarukk, IIRC.

Or is it another round already?

Edit: it IS another round... 

Edit2: sorry about the mess... Got a little lost in the last actions. I blame my current sleepy condition while working

[ksbsnowowl]

No worries.  Yeah, this is the same tanarukk you tripped with your AoO last round, so you definitely have your AoO back.

Okay, so ... did you want that to be subdual?  If so, you forgot the -4.
Edit: I see you did describe it as such.  No problem, your attack roll was high enough it still hits after applying the -4 after the fact.

[phaedrusxy]

You get to tell me which 60-foot cone you are looking at each round. 

She'll look due south, at the bottom of the map, on the first round.

[ksbsnowowl]

Okay, so you have lots of dead tanarukk, one unconscious tanarukk, a dead troll, two dead winter wolves, and a tanarukk crone splayed out on the ground.  You have something invisible that appears to have run away, and you have a serious threat of a forest fire getting completely out of control.

Zook1shoe, what is Three going to do?

[ksbsnowowl]

Thin Air... cool idea.  Though the spell technically only affects creatures, I like the idea enough that I'll cause it to give a +2 bonus (however that may end up applying) to whatever other attempts are made to smother the fire.

What exactly are you expecting us to do? I have no idea how to put out a fire according to the RAW. Since whatever we do is basically going to have to be made up, why not just let the spell work? Frankly, I'm annoyed that we have to deal with a forest fire in the first place. It seems like the DM punishing us for using our abilities (Fair warning: My feelings on this may be a bit out of proportion, as this isn't the first game where I've had a DM create a forest fire from a Fireball. Last time, I was a ranger and it burned down my home forest.).

There's the Quench spell that could help here... But it's such a situational spell it's unlikely anyone ever prepares it in the first place...

Edit: anyone with Create Water (the 0 level spell)? Perhaps someone could use it to put down the fire like a firefighter? 

[ksbsnowowl]

Combat is over... Anyone with knowledge (the planes) can go ahead and give me another roll.

Heck, I'll roll them, just give me a couple minutes.

I was going to ask if I could roll after casting Ancient Knowledge... But I was too late.

[phaedrusxy]

Hymir has Create Water prepared, but honestly how much can that help with a big fire like this? I guess we can try...

He also has a good bardic knowledge bonus (+12), which might be useable instead of Knowledge (Planes).

[ksbsnowowl]

Bjartr and Einar both got a 15, which allows them to recall some useful information, like the fact that tanarukk have an ability that allows them to control flame.

Yeah, Agni/Risada can use the spell. No problem to apply it after the fact.  That also gives you a 15, so you also recall something like the above.

Let's try Bardic Knowledge:

Bardic KNowledge 1d20+12 : 5 + 12, total 17

[skydragonknight]

Hmm. If only there was a tanarukk who wasn't dead who we could make friendly towards us...

[ksbsnowowl]

Ding ding ding!

Wake him up with a Cure Light Wounds, Intimidate the crap out of him (one or multiple checks, with some Aid Another, however you guys want), and I'll let Skulda speak for whomever actually won the check (easy to "gang up" now that combat is over)...

What tanarukk have is a unique SLA:

Control Flame (Sp): Tanarukks can cause a nonmagical fire within 10 feet of them to diminish to the level of coals or flare to the brightness of daylight and double the normal radius of illumination. This ability does not change the heat output or fuel consumption of the fire source, lasts 5 minutes, and may be done once per day. They use this ability as 5th-level sorcerers.

I think this is going to be up to Three and/or Skulda. Hymir has Charm Person, but IIRC the tannaruk are outsiders.

Skulda's intimidate is +12, and Three's is +19. I think she still has that Adoration of the Frightful going, right? So let's all huddle up, Hymir can throw up a Mass Lesser Vigor to top off our HPs and bring the Tannaruk back to consciousness, then we can intimidate him into being our friend.

Skulda also has Diplomacy of +18, but I think that will take too much time (without having Naberius bound, so she can take 10 as a standard action).

Edit: Unfortunately, the longer we mess around with this, the more time our invisible "friend" has to scurry away...

We need to divide our efforts, I guess. Maybe Hymir can just let Skulda take his horse, and he stays to cast MLV. Then she can help our trackers and animals try to find this invisible person.

[ksbsnowowl]

Just FYI - lesser vigor will take a good minute or more to wake him up.
CLW will do it immediately, because it heals a like amount of nonlethal damage.

[phaedrusxy]

I guess it's up to Bjartr, then... NPCs save the day! 

[skydragonknight]

By the time Thorgrim catches up I'll assume the troll is conscious and being "persuaded".
