Accross the Table (OOC Discussion) [Part 2]

[bhu]

Tulugaq is less sadist and more paranoid.

Hey guys - sorry for the disappearing act. 
Past month was very busy as we are approaching the end of the year, which tends to be the busiest time for me at work.
I pretty much dropped everything else except work until now, when things are starting to ease up again.
I'm hoping you guys will take me back so I can keep playing Galadren - with no more disappearing acts without letting you know ahead of time!
Can I still play?

If I can, I'll whip up a post tonight about what Galadren thinks of this guy.

[Melblen_Cairn]

Sure thing. I kept Galadren moving along with the group so jump right back in.

[VennDygrem]

10 for initiative? That's what I get for trusting the forum dice roller while I can't access IC! Bah! 

 

[Melblen_Cairn]

I began using the Unseen Servant to replace IC. Not sure if IC will come back since the guy let the domain expire.

[Melblen_Cairn]

NM, I see Shadow used IC for his post today. So it must have come back at some point recently.

[VennDygrem]

It was down for a while, and then came back up. I had used it then, though it's not coming up for me now.

[Melblen_Cairn]

I prefer IC over other sights because of the extra comment field at the end of the roll screen. It works well with how I like to display rolls.

I started a post on the in game thread to get combat started late last night but did not finish it. I slept in way too long this morning so I fear I may not get it out there until this evening. Will see what I can wrap up in the next 15 minutes here.

[Inspectre]

Oh yeah.  Galadren will on his turn also use his Minor action to mark the spiderman as his Hunter's Quarry (forgot to do that and didn't want to edit my posts to screw up the Save and attack to-hit roll).

So if that arrow hits, here's the extra damage for it.

Rolled 1d6 : 2, total 2

Nanshork, Are you sure you want to shift to G12? In order to hit the swarm with the close blast from G12, you would not really be able to affect any of your allies with the benefit. I can't seem to fit a 5x5 square adjacent to you that does not effect your square and get both them in and the swarm (Close attacks details are on pg. 271 and Blast area effect details are on pg. 272 of the PHB1)

A minor change could be shift to G14 instead (either way your still going to need an Athletics or Acrobtics to keep from getting immobilized). The shift does not cost extra squares since your an elf. But by going to G14 you can not only get the Swarm but also get all your allies in the benefit and hit the other creature as well.

Let me know, I will hold on my response post in game for now.

[Nanshork]

It sounds like the I have to have one of the corners of the blast next to my square, this isn't outright stated (but I guess it is heavily implied upon close reading) so that's annoying.  I figured the blast could include my square.

I don't have much of a choice, time to get stuck in a corner.  I can't edit my post without it throwing errors.

Acrobatics 1d20 : 18, total 18

[Melblen_Cairn]

I saw Bart was active again on the 17th. Giving him today to check back in then I will post for Shandien.

[bhu]

I was just waiting for him to react afore posting.  I'll post later tonight.

[bhu]

guys that was prolly as good as i could do.  If it took no damage from that I don't have anything else likely to do the job either.

[Melblen_Cairn]

You rolled a 9 and did not miss by all that much. There was concealment due to the webbing but the penalty was negated by the +2 you would get from the power Tanthalus used this round (I forgot to add the benefit to the status bar).

[Melblen_Cairn]

Made some corrections to the status bar for things I missed in the round 2 start. Updated Tulugaq with Shadow Walk Concelment. Did not have Theo's correct location listed and updated Theo and Galadren with the Divine Glow benefit before Tanthalus' turn.

Updated the map too. Holidays have been rather busy for me to get that updated and out there. Sorry for the delay. Looks like we have Thespias up next at the top of the initiative order.

[bhu]

Does the concealment affect this any?

ALso how and when does i make saves?

[Melblen_Cairn]

Concealment is a either a -2 or a -5 to attack rolls depending on how obscured a square is. The webbing is considered light obscured so you have a -2 to attack rolls for any target in a lightly obscured square or on the other side of one.

Last round it was negated some what by the benefit given by Tanthalus' Divine Glow which gave a +2.

To answer you save question. Saving throws are normally done at the end of your turn and you roll a saving throw for each effect that requires one. Some classes have powers that will allow an ally to roll an immediate saving throw as well in which case then you would roll it right away. Details of saves are found on page 279 of PHB1. Good details on a turn's structure (as in what happens when) is found on page 268-269 of PHB1.

[bhu]

I kind of meant does concealment help me against the web attack 

[Melblen_Cairn]

It did. I took minus two off its attack roll. I normally separate it out when creating the roll but Unseen Servant errors out when you use [1d20+9-2] and will only take [1d20+7] instead. Invisible Castle was nice in that regard (but was and is still down  ), evaluating the expressions in just about any way you could put them in.
