I just wasn't sure that dragging a huge bug with the ability to spew vomit over anything in a 20 foot radius to us was a good idea, Pang. And I'm pretty sure I indicated that I cursed my targets before hitting them since warlock's curse is listed as an at-will spell. Or is it that I can only curse and then the next turn the curse becomes effective? I'd love to know.

But yeah, I was pretty clear on taking the big guy out. However Skills and Garr did make sure that we weren't flanked by C which was good.

Yeah, it went kinda badly in the disorganized way, which is why I thought we should sort of rest up and try again properly. I apologize for dragging it out by attempting to prevent too much flanking on Delic, though.

I'll edit it so that we go back into the maze, since no one else seems to be taking charge of any kind.

Edit: And that edit is done. Ignore the slavers, let's do what we were here to do.

To be fair, although the game has been running for ages now, the party are all new and haven't fought together before. Even by the time the original Horde started planning for their various retirements we were still displaying an almost complete lack of any tactical sense or ability to coordinate our battle plans.

I wondered about that. I didn't want to finish off the big guy and then get mopped up by a bunch of adults with 67 health each. I should have known killing the boss would affect the rest in some way.

Well, I mean.... Hive, yeah.

Sorry for gettin' all hostile, folks

It's fair enough. I just figured the adults would go into some sort of rage when their leader bit it, or something.

To everyone else, I don't want to keep stepping on toes by repeatedly taking charge, so if anyone has any ideas on how to proceed, be sure to post them in here.

So, I've been thinking, this may be our best chance to try to get some info about where these minotaurs are.

Thoughts on looking for the leader/taking hostages?

I am liking this thing where you guys just assume that any actual minotaurs are in the vicinity

Well, I know they aren't necessarily going to be hanging out with the orc guys, but the orc guys might know a place they've had to avoid for fear of being pulverized by cloven hooves, or hey, maybe there's that one minotaur outcast that's a bodyguard for the orc slavers.

I'm just trying to be a good adventurer but seeing 'no specific destination' on every travel roll is somewhat disconcerting. :(

Don't despair! Enough rolls on the random destination table, and you'll surely arrive in a good place eventually!

Skex read my mind.

Don't worry nigga, I got this.

To put Skills' diplomacy attempt into perspective, the Dungeon Master's guide suggests 33 as a "Hard" skill check for 30th-level characters.

I am going to need to edit

some of these maps


Viva la revolucion!

Pang, I do believe the gauntlet has been thrown down.

Is it still worth calling the new group the "Horde"? After all, the necromancer nutcase and all of his cronies have left the building, and this new group seems less into just attacking everything it sees. Perhaps it's time to put the old name to rest before these different nutcases defile it with things like diplomacy. And communication.

Nobody has suggested anything else, really.

Although in my campaign notes I call them "The G-Men"

What's wrong with Horde?

nothing at all. I will say the fact that since EVERYONE in the group now is ridiculous on the RP front, I'm waiting to see what happens the next time Gordok turns into a bear.

You guys should join me in the new place so that you aren't all that far away when something nasty happens. Also so we can check more than one room at a time, here.

Rule #18 of Dungeons & Dragons Land: Limber Up

No but seriously time for some asskicking

Now you throw them a huge, probably magical warhammer. :mad:

Acer forgot his stealth roll.

I threw one in on my post, but I dunno if you're going to use it. It's pretty shit, unfortunately.

Mine is even shitter ='D

Guys, I'd appreciate more assists even if I do get a plus 5 because of skittering sneak.

I don't know about all this skill rolling malarky. Time was all a party of adventurers needed was a big retard to kick the doors in and plenty of healing surges and a spot of divine intervention for when the ensuing fight went badly. Ah, it was a simpler time back then, I remember when all this was fields...

It was certainly a far more... uncivilized era.

Or perhaps the young ones nowadays are soft and weak.

Your pick.
