[DnD] Let's Cast Magic Missile!

Gosh, another human fighter. What a well rounded and diverse bunch we are.

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

I'm not saying we need something to complement the group, I'm saying it might be more interesting from a role playing point of view if we had a bit of a spread of talents and races. I don't doubt that LeHah will be more than capable or differentiating his character from the rest but for those of us already in, it would have been more interesting to have a warforged rogue or just something a bit different to "The human with a sword".

Provided he has a ridiculous characature of a personality it's all gravy.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I just want someone to join as a bard and post only in rhyming couplets.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Bob has quite enough personality defects as it is thank you very much.

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

Awesome. A gay elf and his unknowingly bi-curious dwarf boyfriend take a boat trip with a guy dressed as a camp pirate and a young noble with a penchant for pre-op transexuals. Gabe's going to fucking love the next adventure!

Pang, has Bob got time to buy a stuffed parrot to stick on his shoulder before the boat leaves? I would go with an eye-patch but you wouldn't be able to see it under his new mask. Although I suppose he could wear it over his mask...

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

Does the boat have backup oars at all?

I mean, if someone were to attempt to dislodge the wizard from the top of the mast by setting fire to it, would the boat be set adrift?

And more importantly, when can Bob get cool spells that let him teleport around and shit?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Oh no, climbing it is a much better idea, I just thought setting fire to it so everyone had to row the rest of the way would be funnier.

So who's up for a pre-emptive retalitory strike on the pirate ship? If we jump aboard and start scuttling their boat the pirates will soon leave the merchants alone, right?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

What map are you looking at? That's a barrel or something I think, I assumed yours is the winsome visage at X29.

How ya doing, buddy?

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

Pang, as I didn't specify which daily spells I was taking, I'll stick with Acid Arrow and Expiditious Retreat.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'll write up the Hargast debacle at some point if Pang can't be arsed as the continuation of the Lay of Bob.

Pang, I did technically say I was standing on the steps but that was only for dramatic effect, row Vis fine too!

So what exactly are the rules about minions then? I assume they're just weak, generic enemies to carve through on the way to the boss in a fight? If nothing else, they make us look good, rather than spending three weeks chipping the health off a gnomish demi-god.

Pang, how high is the mast for the purposes of spell and shooting ranges?

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

Cool. Are there any advantages of making ranged attacks from higher elevation? I mean, I'm not going to risk Bob's crappy acrobatics skills climbing shit if there's no benefit to it and getting up that high would put his basic spells out of range anyway but if it's going to be a protracted fight (Or more likely, if we run into a protracted fight later) he might be safer shooting arrows from up a mast somewhere, assuming he can find a spot where he doesn't need one hand to hold on.

Also I want to know how far away from the mast I need to be to stop the pirate mage from casting spells at me.

Oh cool, I assumed that as a staff is two handed you'd need both hands for spells. A staff is two handed right?

You know Garr, technically Bob can shoot straight past you with no negative effects. We call standing in the elf's line of fire "Operation human shield" and it's entirely to be encouraged.

Pang, what's Bob's maximum range with his longbow? Has he actually got a hope of hitting someone sixty foot above him and a good twenty feet distant?

Because I'm fucked if I'm climbing a rope to get to the wizard, I'll help Soggy shoot the cannons at the pirate ship once we run out of easy targets on our boat if the rest of you want to climb up and chop up the wizard. I promise to catch any good loot she drops though!

How ya doing, buddy?

How are the pirate's ropes attached to the ship? I mean, do we need to actually cut them or can we just unhook them, if for example our characters were a bit light in the bladed weapons department? Or alternatively, would a decent Fireblast spell burn through them?

I'm not sure if anyone else can reach the rope at the front of the ship in time but Bob can Expeditious Retreat 14 squares which will get him within spell range of the rope. Given his inability to hit human sized targets, I'm not too confident he can shoot through ropes from range. Actually, saying that, although he can only do basic attacks, he's not a bad shot per se. What's kind of AC would you attribute to a rope if one was to try to cut it with an arrow Pang? Bob might be up for some Robin Hood shit for a change.

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

This fight's not going to last much longer at this rate and I'm sure none of us would begrudge you a week off for GFF NE Playing-video-games-somewhere-other-than-your-parent's-house week.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Pang, are there any rules in place for targetting specific parts of someone's body with an arrow, so as to make them fall off a mast for example?

Also, I applaud LeHah's continued attempts at rope swinging and other nonsense like that, given he's probably the only party member with a lower acrobatics skill than Bob.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Pang's back now Hawkeye!

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

Maybe LeHah had the best idea chopping the mast down after all.

Bob's pretty much Chaotic Neutral already. He doesn't necessarily mean to be, he just has a hard time fitting in.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Now that Soggy's made it to the top of the rope, it'd be really rude of him not to drop a People's Elbow on the mage.



What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Bob's going to end up overboard, I can see it already.

Can't we have a pub quiz instead?

I did only fail one of my rolls. Admittedly it was the more important one.
