to be fair, you've got some really confusing powers.

Energy Strobe has +3 vs. Reflex. so your roll (9) + 3 needs to be greater than or equal to the target's reflex defense (14), so that attack's a miss.

If you had landed the hit, Energy strobe needs two more rolls - one to determine damage type (roll 1d6, look at the chart on the power card), and one to determine damage (1d10, then add 7).

Also, a friendly reminder - if you do hit something in melee, remember to use Stone Fist Flurry of Blows - it's a free action, and an automatic hit for 3 extra damage (or a free minion kill if they're around). It's probably best for you to stay out of the way for now, but it's something to keep in mind.

Hawk, I'm ready to play my turn but I just need to know if the Yellow skirmisher died from Prime's attack.

yeah, he's toast.

sorry about the impropmtu hiatus guys, i got really badly swamped by homework and promptly left all my other obligations to rot in a corner. after next week (choir tour, so the only time i'll have guaranteed internet access is tuesday night when i'm at home) things should get back to normal. I want to thank you for not giving me heck, but i'd rather you give me heck than let the game go through that again. so next time, give me heck.

All right, i'm going to go out on a limb and call this thing officially dead in the water. I'm sorry everyone, but my life has been really turbulent of late (not in a bad way, but in a i-don't-have-consistent-internet-and-free-time-at-the-same-time way). i haven't had a lot of time to look at GFF, and i have no guarantee of internet in the coming weeks, so.

The original plan was to help some newbies understand 4th edition D&D well enough to play in Pang's games, but as he's planning on changing game systems after this dungeon it's kind of a moot point. I might consider running a game again sometime if people ask for it, but for the time being it's just not working. This could be as early as next fall if i find things stabilizing by then, but for the summer at least i think this game is going to be done.

That said, if you guys still really want to play, let me know and i'll keep trying. I just don't know my living arrangements for after this week, so i'm loathe to make promises regarding such things.

It's fine, Hawk, you gotta do what you gotta do. It's true that D&D 4e isn't particularly well suited for forum play, so hopefully another system will work better.

That said, once I get more experience playing other systems, maybe I'll GM a game of my own. It'll be a while yet, but if I decide to do it, I'll let everyone know.

Yeah, don't sweat it Hawk! It was fun while it lasted, but don't break your back trying to keep it alive if it is really inconvenient for you, as I've said before, real life trumps silly internet games. :p

If you ever feel like you want to revive it I would be willing to pick it up again when that happens, but if it doesn't happen that's fine too!

Hope things settle down for you soon!

Thanks for running this for us, by the way!

How rude of me. Yes, thank you for running the game :)

Thanks for all your efforts, Hawk. Most of my decision to change systems comes from the fact that my own life is getting messier and more complicated; the only reason I could ever run 4E for the forums is an extreme overabundance of free time. I'm sure I still have much more time to burn than you do, but it's becoming a bit of a burden for me as it is — don't beat yourself up.

Its okay Hawkeye. If anything, I definitely learned a lot. Thanks. :)

Well it was a fun ride while it lasted. I appreciate the learning experience very much, even if as Stop Sign pointed out, its a bit hard for forum post-by-post play.

So yeah, thanks for running the whole thing, perhaps I'll revive my character for another escapade in the future =D
