Reasons to read your character sheet properly - No 1

Could have just asked the beetles to move...

Christ, this initiative. :mad:

Is lava hindering terrain or just painful terrain?

Also is it just walking on it that's a bad idea? As in, is flying over it ok?

I dunno about you but I'm made of inherently flammable materials so I ain't goin' near that shit.

The lava rivulets aren't especially deep or wide, so they're not difficult terrain. Just walking "through" them is fine, just don't, you know, hang out. Since Jill's flittering about most of the time she doesn't need to worry about it, but bear in mind that prone characters stop flying.

So does the bomb have initiative 13 or something? Why does it go after your dudes but before mine?

I am fine with moving at the same time as the explosion actually. (It would also be ultra badass)

Or EXACTLY THE SAME TIME.

Yeah. This could actually be sweet.

Sorry Skills, power says it explodes at the end of X turns, so it'll blow up just before you get to move.

So how do we determine the turn order between multiple 13s then?

Well usually, the person with the higher initiative modifier goes first. But the bomb doesn't have an initiative, it's just got a set "i will explode after the cultists move" decision on it.

Yeah, the bomb doesn't have initiative. The detonation is an immediate reaction in response to the trigger "X turns have ended", in this case eight:

1. Jill
2. Beetle A
3. Beetle B
4. Rufus
5. Esperansita
6. Dragonborn A
7. Dragonborn B
8. Dragonborn C

(And yeah I usually treat identical enemies as one collective turn but, you know, technically).

Really though when Shin inevitably needs a third PC I might as well just write up a bomb with an initiative value

Pretty sure they do, but do cacti block line of sight?

Also what is that thing in front of me? Is it dangerous or just delicious?

Nah, cacti are only partial cover so line of sight is intact.

Directly in front of you is a small barrel cactus in a tasteful planter, sitting atop a small heap of broken glass, sitting atop The Mysterious Square of Transfiguration. So yes, caution might be advisable.

Oh did you mean the cloud? Just greasy kobold smoke.

That went far better than I ever would have imagined.

I don't know if I'm pleased or disappointed about how well that went.

With that kind of special move is it one shot or is there some dice rolling to see if you get to use it again? I forget from when you originally explained the rules.

I need to burn my daily soon too, just so I can say I used it before Pang rolls me up a walking bomb.

OH hey sorry, been busy, will post tonight

LUCKILY I had the foresight to flag the Potato as a Consumable, which does in fact keep you from using it again on account of how it, you know, exploded.

the battle has been going on for AT LEAST four seconds and I'm not bleeding out or anything. What the fuck.

Dammit. I suppose there's always the chance a fire bug will explode if you push it on to a lava flow. :(

Pang, do cacti require any sort of strength check to lift, and do they do any damage to my character when doing so?

Apparently those things can weight like 300 kg so yeeeeah let's say DC 19?

The cacti don't hurt unless you collide with them forcibly.

Oh, well in that case.

Sorry to be pedantic about this, but, um, what is Crushdick actually doing, mechanically? You don't seem to have any abilities that would actually push the beetle into the cactus so maybe I'm missing something.

Dear lord that bow

YouTube Video
