I suspect it's not meant to be great against solos and elites, and more as a way to drop normal monsters in one round.
Sneak up to one, shiv it, action point it, Press the Advantage to kill it.
Which, yeah, may go against Dunor's intent of getting in the bad guys' faces and stopping them from hitting us . . . although dead enemies do no damage to anyone either!

Ah, so you've locked in on my back-up defender tactic.

I was on vacation for a couple days there and got busier then I expected to be and missed that Shadow had posted for Theo there. I will have a response up tonight for the new round and Sinruth's action.

Whelp, if Tanthulus didn't get him, Galadren probably did with that 21 damage crit!

To be fair, I've been terribly bad at checking my Min/Maxboards PbP's for the last four, five months, so I feel you're not the one to blame for that unconscious assumption

By the way, Sertanian is named twice as Sinruth in the last couple posts. FYI.

So much for me proof reading those after typing them out... Thanks for letting me know. I have updated them for consistency.

Inspectre · « **Reply #626 on:** September 09, 2015, 06:15:17 AM »

That's okay. I just figured Sinruth had gotten back up like at the end of a game of Tag, and we were all going down to the pub for drinks now.

So, I was looking back through the IC & OOC threads today and I was wondering . . .

1) Whatever happened to that idea of having a "how the party got to know each other" encounter?

2) How good are the odds that you're going to keep that 2015 New Years Resolution to finish up this adventure Melblen? I can't imagine that there's much left to this dungeon, unless there's yet another(!) floor waiting for us.

I dont really know you. I heard you were one a mission of revenge and went along cause I knew there'd be killing.

Melblen_Cairn · « **Reply #629 on:** September 22, 2015, 07:30:51 AM »

I think it has a pretty good chance of wrapping up this year. I will say there is no third floor to this place and based on the remaining map unexplored you are nearly done with this floor. So you are fairly close.

As for the flashback encounter, it was a fun idea but I have not had a lot of spare time to develop it. Overall, I had three encounters in mind as flashbacks. Two involving your fights the night of the invasion and a third while the group was on it's way back to the ruins. I started a map for the first two encounters but I was unhappy with the results and scrapped it.

Another idea I had was to have you all make characters to play through the final encounter in the first Red Fist War (converting the last couple fights in the Red Hand of Doom adventure to 4e). I have that encounter fairly detailed out but I do not like the map in the book and I was thinking about creating a slightly larger one in GIMP. Again time has been the limiting factor. This one may be more fun as you can not only change things up and play someone different but also play at 10/11th level and you'd get to define who the Heroes of the Vale were and what happened to them.

Is the purple area what we have left to search through in level 2

Melblen_Cairn · « **Reply #631 on:** September 25, 2015, 03:43:26 PM »

Doh! I forgot to reset the unexplored layers opacity before I exported the file to a png.

I will fix it when I get home and I have removed the offending map temporarily. For those that saw the rooms hidden underneath....pay no attention to that man behind the curtain...

Melblen_Cairn · « **Reply #632 on:** September 26, 2015, 09:57:27 AM »

Fixed map of second level. You may proceed down that hallway now

Inspectre · « **Reply #633 on:** September 27, 2015, 08:20:22 AM »

I guess we proceed down that hallway in formation then!

Not going anywhere without a light this time.

Melblen_Cairn · « **Reply #634 on:** October 06, 2015, 07:57:59 AM »

Going to form up like Galadren suggests and try it?

Melblen_Cairn · « **Reply #635 on:** October 13, 2015, 06:21:36 AM »

Is Theo and Dunor going to wait as well like Tulugaq or are they going to act at the same time as everyone else and send an attack at the demon at a range?

Shadowhunter · « **Reply #636 on:** October 16, 2015, 06:17:06 PM »

Melblen, I'd like to ask you to DMPC Thespias and Corran for now. I mean, you're basically doing it already. Or I should rephrase, whenever anything is reliant on any of my actions, don't take longer than 24 hours to wait for me and just do whatever you feel works best. I have periods where the thought of updating my PbP's actually stress me. So I avoid the stress by avoiding this board. Which doesn't help, naturally.
I have periods where I'm managing to be in a more positive mindset as well and not get stuck in a vicious cycle.
But I'm not consistent. So I'm not bowing out of either of these, but I feel like the two groups really shouldn't have to wait for me to post. I'll still try to be involved and you might get a decent update post at various points in time, but I feel I at least owe it to you all to be honest.

As for attacking or waiting, Theo will attack with the others.

Melblen_Cairn · « **Reply #637 on:** October 18, 2015, 08:47:20 AM »

No problem man. The game should not feel like a chore or work. There have been times when we all put off posting for a time because we can't fit it all into a day. When you think we have been at this for 5 years, that is a pretty awesome feat but I also understand that many things change in our schedules during that long span.

Post when you are up for it. I will keep you going when we need to.

We are so very close to finishing this adventure. I do look forward to playing through the next one in the path but I hope it does not take another 5 years. At that rate we would old men by the time reach the end of the whole adventure path.

Melblen_Cairn · « **Reply #638 on:** October 22, 2015, 08:39:53 AM »

Working on the first post of the round and map update but out of time this morning so I will get it up there this evening. Thespias going first then the wererat followed by Dunor and Tanthalus.

Nanshork · « **Reply #639 on:** October 23, 2015, 02:24:54 PM »

If I do a close blast 5 do I get the whole party and the demon or does the pillar fuck that up?
