Update map. Sorry for the delay been busy with work, wife being sick, kids stuff, and now a 120 lbs. dog who had to have $800.00 in paw surgery who is now recovering in my kitchen.

Life comes first, no worries.

Sweet fancy Moses that's an epic 2!

Nanshork · « **Reply #563 on:** September 16, 2013, 11:34:37 PM »

I completely forgot which guy I am on the map. Bottom row middle?

Melblen_Cairn · « **Reply #564 on:** September 17, 2013, 08:20:34 AM »

Maroon dot

Melblen_Cairn · « **Reply #565 on:** September 17, 2013, 08:20:53 AM »

should match your characters speaking color.

Melblen_Cairn · « **Reply #566 on:** September 17, 2013, 08:21:41 AM »

I think you use red though and since I use red mainly for most enemies, I flipped you to maroon on maps.

Nanshork · « **Reply #567 on:** September 17, 2013, 10:57:24 AM »

Yeah, the color is why I was double checking.

Edit: That was underwhelming.

Melblen_Cairn · « **Reply #568 on:** September 19, 2013, 01:01:28 AM »

Looks like Gamesh, Thespias, and Soff'a are up next.

Melblen_Cairn · « **Reply #569 on:** September 20, 2013, 09:35:31 AM »

Those three can feel free to post out of order if you are logged in.

Melblen_Cairn · « **Reply #570 on:** September 23, 2013, 10:21:54 PM »

Dragon breath is a close blast 3 that will target everyone in the radius not just enemies. You'd need an attack roll for every target, including the inadvertent ones in the hallway

.

Melblen_Cairn · « **Reply #571 on:** September 23, 2013, 10:23:27 PM »

If you move far enough into the room, away from the party you can keep them out of the blast.

Aurenn · « **Reply #572 on:** September 23, 2013, 10:40:21 PM »

Wouldn't a blast 3 make it D, E, F/7, 8, 9 or E, F, G/7, 8, 9?

I read a close blast as having an origin square immediately next to the character and affecting, in this case, a 3x3 square. Wouldn't what you're describing be a burst (and a sign of a serious need for healing)?

Melblen_Cairn · « **Reply #573 on:** September 23, 2013, 11:05:00 PM »

Close Blasts mean it is centered on you where a normal blast is centered on a square in range of the power.

The bottom of pages four and five show the difference between "blast" and "burst".

According to reading that I can't find at the moment (it's 2am, I may as we'll be drunk as tired as I am) if it was just a "blast" the AoE would occur around an origin square somewhere in range (fireball for instance). A "close blast" means that the origin square must cause the power to be somehow adjacent to the characters tile e.g. the origin square of a 3x3 AoE close burst power will always be one tile away from the character so that a tile affected by that power will always be directly adjacent to them. A "burst" however is a power where the origin square is always the tile that the character themselves is on and can not be aimed otherwise.

There seem to be some finer points about the number of affected entities in a burst being limited but in a blast not, but I would have to find those sources to be sure that's accurate.

Edit: Here's one of the places I found that.

You are right, I was thinking Close Burst instead of Close Blast. You also have a line of effect so you are all good.

VennDygrem · « **Reply #576 on:** September 24, 2013, 07:15:24 PM »

Is that hobgoblin lady the initiative ahead of me? Is it thus my turn?

Melblen_Cairn · « **Reply #577 on:** September 24, 2013, 11:43:40 PM »

I am waiting for Sk4mpE to post for Soff'a. Then it is the Drakes' and Nrogut's turn. Then it is Dunor's turn. My responses and the Swarm Attacks were related to the Aura abilities of the Swarms.

Melblen_Cairn · « **Reply #578 on:** September 27, 2013, 10:03:00 PM »

Wow that worked a little TOO well.

Will update the map shortly. I have some stuff to finish for work yet.

Aurenn · « **Reply #579 on:** September 27, 2013, 11:24:09 PM »

If we did indeed rest up and this is a new encounter, would my persistent harrier feat teleport me to her when she hit my feet? Right before she dropped me on the exploding alphabet in a heap of hungry lizard-roaches I mean.
