[DnD] Let's Cast Magic Missile!

Which is not to say that Raise Dead is entirely without function; it just won't work on adventurers.

I did do what little I could to try to save Brigid (since having the newest player be the first to die is kind of lame and there would be ample opportunities for the spiders to murder someone else) but nobody had ever gone to such low HP before and it took me by surprise as much as anyone else.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Ayup.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Picking up and then drinking would be two minor actions, but you can do two minors and a standard (Second Wind) in one turn.

FELIPE NO

You have line of sight on squares V30, W28, W29, X28

How ya doing, buddy?

It says "reroll an attack roll" so if you make multiple rolls on an attack you'd pick only one of them to reroll.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

He hasn't killed anything, if that's your concern.

That was actually a glitch on my part, he wasn't slow. I glanced at the minimap and mistook the prone icon for slowed. Once I realized my mistake the dice app wouldn't let me hide the evidence.

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

In some cases I might allow that but in this instance you'd really have to stop and rifle through the heap before you found the brooch and that would end your move action. So no.

Anyway I've put Garr's character together, he's playing another human fighter which is a bit redundant but I think I assembled him in a form fairly distinct from Arg, no overlapping powers or anything. So he'll be dropping into the game sometime soon after this battle provided he stays sober long enough to read the last PM I sent him.

(look at knk taking some initiative why can't the rest of you learn from his example)

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

knk, you might want to edit; Deni's saved you from a fainting spell.

and the orange swarm is dead also

Well, they're tedious. I'm sure I can find murder weapons that don't require me to run 5 different attacks on every single turn.

yes indeed

Not exactly, but it would be simple enough to have a pit actually be the open maw of, say, a purple worm.



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

If Brigid returns it will be as an angry poltergeist that haunts Motsognir to the end of his days.

Motsognir! I've come back with a warning!

"What the —"

Think fast, asshole!

The reins are yours, Garr. Welcome aboard.

There is no door east from that room, mang.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

As a general rule I kind of assume that all five of you can see/hear what any of the five of you can see/hear, halfway to remove bookkeeping and halfway to eliminate a lot of "I go back and tell so-and-so about the goblin" posts which are no fun at all.

Basically it is presumed that if something interesting happens, whomever it happens to either curses up a storm or shrieks like a girl (as befits them).

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

hey there's no rule that says fighters have to stand around scratching their asses just because there's no combat going on

ok?

ok

I was speaking idiomatically.

What, there's treasure. They just don't look in the right places. A big ol' barrel, yeah, that's suspicious.

If it helps anyone's decision-making it should be pointed out that the rats are in fact rat swarms, a-cha-cha

Oh also!

I'll keep this updated

I shut off my signature in the game thread but I don't believe anyone else does and it's a bit too late to implement that particular rule I expect.

ha ha, what ranged attacks

I mean I gave Garr a bow but as for everyone else but Bob it's just Gabe throwing his hammer once and then it's twiddlethumb city

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, it's just an elixir of accuracy like you figured

Most amazing jew boots

Just a note, the chainmail takes Bob over his maximum normal load so he's going to be Slowed until he gets back down to 90 lb (or about 41 kg, hr hr).

Somebody start a fight so I can tell if Brady's still paying attention.

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

PHB2 out today bitches, do you know what time it is?

That is correct, it is Gnome O'Clock

Most amazing jew boots

It's just some treasure, you know? Just a magic sword is all. No worries.
