Flanking doesn't work on these things.

Also we want the front liners holding these things in place so the rough terrain doesn't catch any of the more mobile ranged guys off balance.

If we move Gheth back after gibbering misses him I suppose we can save him the bite and the ongoing damage, but he'll need to move right back to his current position to hold gibbering B in relative place there. I guess saving him the condition is relatively important, so might as well.

Fft fft, I didn't read Pang's memo on the flanking. :(

Nah, as it stands there's no tactical advantage to sliding Gheth away. Pang will just rewrite history anyway, and move the monster closer before chomping away at him. (I still remember how this strategy to avoid damage backfired terribly in the Gnasc/Framarth battle.)

Skex, lemme know if you want a melee range attack or to stay at ranged for your turn. I can pull you next to B if you want me to.

It'll work either way. My ranged is vs. reflex, which probably has a better chance of hitting, though, since they only have 14.

Course, you're also out of range of Healing Word right now, so it's up to you. I can still get you with Bastion of Health for any critical heals.

Then let's all focus on A this turn and try to drop it. Apparently it's already bloodied. It might be doable.

I have 25 HP between my temp and real counts, so I've fine for the moment. I'll heal myself if I need to.

You might want to Righteous Brand first and give the bonus to an ally instead of going last! Garr seems to have the shittiest luck, so perhaps that's the best option.

Well, Lance of Faith is a +2 bonus vs. Brand that gives +3, so there's not much difference between them. But I have to roll at least a 10 to hit with Brand, vs. rolling a 6 to hit with Lance.

At any rate, if Garr wants to delay his turn, that's fine by me.

You've given Garr temporary combat advantage against Mouther B till the end of your turn. If you hit with Lance of Faith, do the advantages stack (to +4 to hit)?
If not, then maybe it's better used against Mouther A.

I'm thinking we'll want to slide Garr, with his permission, at A2 where he can do that Sweeping Blow against both.

I plan to delay my turn until just before the Mouthers go. That way, it's easier to determine whether I'd need to take an action point to drop Mouther A. Everyone else's action points are better used on emergency heals or tactical retreats.

Great. So I'm thinking this proposed shuffled sequence:

1. Gheth - Lance of Faith on Mouther A with bonus to Garr
2. Garr - Sweeping Blow on both Mouthers (+2 to hit on both); Combat Challenge on Mouther B
3. Gordok - Diabolic Grasp on Mouther B and slide it into Mouther A (Although targeting A is more damaging, it's got superior cover thanks to B - I won't hold my breath on you rolling 18) ; since you're dazed, I think all your other attack options also run afoul of superior cover, unfortunately.
4. Cal - If Mouther A's still alive, I take an action point if it's necessary to kill it. Currently I'm planning Shadow Wasp Strike, with a follow-up at-will if needed.

Since it's an unspecified bonus on my skills, I'm pretty sure it would stack. But I think Skills is right, we need to make sure we get the bloodied one first.

acer, i don't know if i can just let you do that. Playing DnD with loaded dice makes it really hard for the rest of us to get a chance.

* Shakes fist at loaded dice *

Stupid dice, giving a crit to an attack against Mouther B, and always coming up short to our defender :(

Skex, in case the party decides to go to Lamid, maybe Gheth'd want to equip the (more powerful) stone of Avandra he found. It'll increase accuracy and damage by 1, at least for all implement attacks.

This is in case we're dropped into an encounter with an even bigger mob of mutated villagers from the get-go.

So uhhh, regardless of what I wrote in the thread, I'm pretty sure the next time I post we're either heading inside already, or the barricades will be breached by the creatures (if we decide not to go in).

Since Pang has explicitly said there are over 100 crazies, I figure now would be a good time to test those Molotov cocktails and grenades. Who wants to grab a lit torch now? Everburning torch or sunrod won't provide heat, so it must be a lit mundane torch (Longbow is 2-handed weapon, otherwise I'd do it.)

I am not wasting my explosives on things that are not your property.

Speaking of personal property, Glock's ritual book will surely burn really well. It should definitely be an ingredient of any wagon bonfire! :)

I guess I kinda took it for granted that I'd want to switch to that one. As soon as I saw it I was like

Wellll, we can take ranged potshots at some of the civvies from outside the barricades, although I think the constable will be all :mad: for killing his villagers. Let's see how he reacts to the greedy coward first :)

I do think we ought to conserve the area and blast attacks for minion-killing, once we climb in (or they break out). We've seen how quickly a bunch of flanking mutated villagers can reduce a healthy character into 3 HP...

Oh, Garr, do you want my flask of fire farting?

My bad man, I'll give you GP for it if you want.

I figured he'd be the first one to use it with that belt, and since you're more of a ranged guy anyways.

Whoa, you just yoinked it from Skills without asking? I thought you two got it all planned :<

Respect++

I keep checking this thread thinking you guys have decided on something. And i'm wrong every time.

I believe God said it best:

All four of us have already posted. What do you want us to do, Hawkeye :(
