[DnD] D&D Discussion & Enlistment (Save Ends)

I hope you're not suggesting he uses the power card thing, Pang, because I have big plans for that...

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

Wvlf, hurry up and post an answer so you're not trapped back there if a fight breaks out.

I was speaking idiomatically.

So, how to get to the trapdoor? Anyone else got a rope?

I'd quite like to get there without having to leave the chain behind but it might not be possible. I figured that if I could get one end attached to the trapdoor with the grapple, Beefi could hold the other end then anyone else with a rope can chuck me one end and chuck the other end to GFZ. I reckon Slim, Sam and Garold could make the jump to that rope then shimmy along it to Beefi, then along his chain to the trapdoor, one assumes to open the thing and climb down a ladder or something underneath it. Beefi can then tie the chain round his waist and try to jump it, with the others hauling him up sharpish if he falls in and finally, GFZ can turn into water and swim it or can't he teleport anyway? I'm sure I read that in a post somewhere.

Either that or we can all jump in and try to fight the fish then have a leisurely swim to the exit.

Most amazing jew boots

In which case, shall I just jump it then toss over a rope to each of you in turn so you can hook the grapple onto your platform then shimmy across to the trapdoor?

FELIPE NO

Pang, just so I know before I do something really retarded, is there any chance whatsoever of Beefi making the jump to the hatch?

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

Fuck it, having someone on the hatch would make this whole thing much simpler, let's do this.

Edit: Fuck yeah!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Rather than try to get to the platform I just jumped off, might you not be better off chucking me the end of the rope so I can tie it around the platform I'm on now, then lower myself into the hatch on my own chain and get out of the way so you guys can climb across. After Slim gets to the hatch he can un-lassoo the rope from his platform and chuck the end to Sam and so on. If there's any monsters in the rom bleow, Beefi can probably hold his own for a few rounds while you all catch up.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm sure more than one of us has one, you can just tie the two bits together.

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

Pssh, if we need healing it means that Pang has thrown a bunch of monsters at us that has withstood all our dailies and encounters and there are no pits to throw them in or walls to smash them against. We'll know when that's about to happen when we come across a really big, featureless room because there's going to need to be fucking hundreds of them to stand up to our merry band of murderous bastards.

That said, I will now be in no way surprised if we're jumped by a three digit quantity of zombies before we reach the end of this. I know one thing though, if we do end up getting killed it'll be fucking epic when it happens (And almost certainly self-inflicted). If we've not earned a card called "Rivers of blood, mountains of skulls" by the time a new party takes over I'll be upset.

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

With the new guild system in place, I would happily see our second adventure (Should we last that long) end with the five of us facing a charge by 10,000 black orcs then a fade to black only for the next party to be sent on a mission to find out what happened to us, the answer being we killed 10,000 black orcs and are on our way home.

Fades to black can always manage what's not feasible within the game system.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Move effects are pretty handy though in tight spaces and with characters who can shift around a lot as GFZ and Beefi can. It's pretty much flank city, or smashing people into walls (Or into pits).

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Deni, do I have your permission to stuff Sam into any small holes that need investigating?

How ya doing, buddy?

I take it you can't run when squeezing then? Can you still substitute a standard for a move (Thereby allowing Beefi to go 6 squares per round down the tunnel).

Most amazing jew boots

Hahahaha, Sam's fucked. There better be some quality gear in those chests for the two people who are likely to survive this fight.

It's called roleplaying Zerg, you should try it some time.

How ya doing, buddy?

Hahahahaha, a week's play and tactics discussion redacted in one move, that has to be a record.

You do realise that next time you open that chest those snakes won't be minions, right?

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

I vote for opening the chest full of snakes anyway. Maybe if you open it slowly and ask them nicely they'll attack the skeleton instead of us?

Want me to delete any posts out of the game thread?

Ahahaha, you guys reckon the treasure in those chests is worth all going in there and killing that skeleton and the snakes? Plus whatever is in the other chest of course.

My vote's for probably. If we were all there at the start of the fight things might not go so badly next time...

I was speaking idiomatically.

Let's posse up and do this then.

I'm going to laugh when there's a dragon in the third chest.

How ya doing, buddy?

Yep, that's why I said I'd take up the rear, so that when he finally posts we can move on. Has anyone PM'd him to see if he still wants to play?

Edit: Fuck it, Beefi's going to use GFZ as an improvised weapon until Wvlf takes control again.

FELIPE NO

Well it's been a remarkable display of martial prowess in this fight so far.

We're just rolling out the low numbers, right?

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

Mummies? Really?

Still, between wvlf and Deni this game is starting to run really slowly. Are you guys having computer/time issues or just losing interest?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Coolio, let's murder these undead fucks quick sharp, nab the loot and go find the boss of this overly intricate grave for a quiet chat.

YOUR TURN, 'CHANIC.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Quick abilities question: Beefi's got a class power that lets him get a free melee basic attack in when he rolls a critical hit and it says once per level. Does this mean he can do it seven times a day or that he gets seven free attacks when he rolls a critical (I can guess what the answer is likely to be but you never know...)?

How ya doing, buddy?

Haha, thought that was a bit odd.

You might have noticed I did a quick edit on my last post. I mis-read the Brutal Slam power, I thought it did damage to an enemy adjacent to me, not to my target. As such, rather than smash the skeleton into the corner out of the bat zone and killing another mummy, I've shuffled up, and pushed him the other way, keeping him in the zone and smashing him into a different mummy which might kill the mummy anyway (Not sure on the rules for having monsters pushed into you when you're up against a wall). Also, not sure if the chest is big enough to add damage when the skeleton is pushed through it.

Hope you don't mind the quick redact, it didn't involve rolling any extra dice and I can change it back if you think it's a bit cheeky.
