[DnD] D&D Boot Camp - Discussion Thread

Either destination's fine by me.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I obviously want to go cult-hunting. The dragon-chasing would be nice to do afterwards though.

What Stop Sign said, I'm up for either too.

Alright, I have questions?

Perception is for what now? I saw I got 20 lmao, but I have no idea what this does. Having a surprise round is due to this?

Are our positions predetermined or did you handpick them yourself Hawkeye?

Boulders are the same as bushes in terms of +2 moves on it right?

I get the ! icons but what's the green cross on truckbus?

And what is that frame on Dragonshield on I30?

Would it hurt to ask what are these enemies exactly in terms of weapons they're wielding?

I figure Dragonshields similar to tank-like baddies. Priests for healing and etc. Skirmishers though?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Alright, I have answers!

Perception was your response to being ambushed. Thia was the only one who rolled high enough to notice the baddies just before they attacked, but your initiative was low enough that you're the last one to act in the surprise round. It's conditional - this roll won't happen if you aren't being ambushed or something similar.

I just sort of threw everyone on the board in a logical-looking setup. Having you guys put yourselves on the board would not only take too long, but also more or less defeat the purpose of a surprise attack.

Boulders and bushes have the same effects as last time (which is to say yes)

The green cross on Truckbus is a mark - if Truck attacks anyone other than the kobold who marked him (the northernmost dragonshield), he takes a -2 penalty to his attack roll. I realize now i didn't put that in the post - it will be fixed.

That frame is me once again forgetting to deselect the token before taking the screenshot. Ignore it, both now and when it inevitably happens again.

The dragonshields have swords, and the skirmisher and wyrmpriest have spears.

I'm not telling you what the skirmisher does - you'll have to figure that one out on your own. Suffice to say, he's a bad guy, and you should kill him.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I was planning to attack the dragonshield anyway. :P But I'll take my action after everyone else - looks like I'm dead last on initiative, even after the kobolds.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I don't think you can move to where you want to, Rychord - you shift first and slide the enemy after, so you can't switch places with it.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Ahh crap. Sorry about that. I guess I'll just stay put then.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It's been two days, and while this is usually the time limit for people to take their turns, i never actually said so. Shorty has until about midnight before someone else can take over and make Luciel do silly things. For future reference, about two days will be the limit before i have to start handing out strikes (which i really don't want to do, so please keep up)

I was speaking idiomatically.

Decarling open season on Shorty's turn, since she's not doing it. Strike one.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Dunno why, been having issues with internet at home. Seems to be magically fixed now.

Sorry for holding you guys up.

FELIPE NO

Am I just misreading things or did Stop Sign skipped DN and my turn?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

If Hawkeye's running it the same way as pang then anyone can post at any time and then things are sorted out by initiative afterward.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oooh, I didn't realize that. Cool, thanks. Btw I love your photos over at Seris' signature thread, tie-dye shirts ROCK.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Come on guys, this is getting a touch ridiculous. i understand this is a busy time of year, but a DnD post takes like five or ten minutes. I don't want this thing to go dying off already.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Did you send a PM to Dark Nation? Maybe he didn't realize it was his turn...

I'm ready to go at just anytime, I just figured I'd wait for him to make his move first since that's the way the turn order is right now.

Judging by his journal DN's been sick the last few days, might be best for someone to cover for him temporarily.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Rychord, he's just sick right now.

I could only cover for Shorty if needed, but not DN's character. Hopefully someone else can pick up the slack besides me. I can't just hog the story here!

D'oh, beaten by a minute.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Oh, I hadn't checked his journal of late, so I didn't realize he was sick. Sorry DN!

I could cover for his character, but it might be fun to get someone who wanted to play but didn't get a chance to do it.

If no one does so by around midnight EST tonight, I'll play both his and my turn then.

Most amazing jew boots

You won't have to worry about covering for me since I have sufficient internet access and I'm free most of the daytime which is evening on the West Coast... that's if my turn comes around before Saturday. =P

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Hey guys, sorry about not posting sooner. Yeah, I've had a vicious sore throat which has finally subsided, only to be replaced by coughing and a runny nose

I'll make a post tonight!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

DN, you're going to have to specify what power you're using. I refuse to have to guess.

How ya doing, buddy?

You could probably safely go with Melee basic attacks should nothing specific be stated.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

true, but that's clearly not his intention - i'm pretty sure a melee basic attack isn't going to do 2d10 damage at level 1. I'm trying to avoid punishing people for accidental mistakes, since these guys are still learning.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Sorry! I thought you had to roll for every attack, special or otherwise. Plus I'm a little out of it mentally right now x_x
