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

Since Beefi and Slim have the same initiative roll, is a case of who posts first goes first or does whatever he chooses to do happen at the same time as what I did?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Ok. If he does anything that moves the skeleton, can you just assume my big shift at the start of my turn is to where ever results in a roughly similar outcome please?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Speak for yourself, Captain Virgin.

Also, is there any way to remove a curse, other than just spending a surge and riding it out?

How ya doing, buddy?

Nope it's all good, I can still reach the mummy without getting slashed at and a 1 is still a miss. The flavour text was to assume I was going to hit it and kill it, I was going to swift charge follow up on the Skeleton. Thought it might be a nice way to finish up the minions but alas, the dice had other plans.

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

If it counts as a trap rather than a monster, does that mean I can't use Curtain of Steel on it when it attacks me?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Given that Sam is the only party member who could disarm it on anything other than a natural 20 (And even then he's only got a 25% chance) if I'm reading the character sheets right, smashing it up might easily become our only option.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm having rotten luck trying to hit this fucker. He really should be dead by now (More dead, properly dead, dead again). Is that bat thing something you can move? At least it should be easier to set up a flank with the big ugly boxed in the corner as he is.

Edit: Actually Pang, you rolled a 10 for Beefi's AoO. His MBA is +12 so against an AC of 22 that's a hit isn't it? Or do you not roll against AC for AoO? I've never had to roll my own dice for that. It's another D12+7 damage for the Skeleton if it was a hit.

How ya doing, buddy?

It's ok Pang, we still love you.

So how possible would it be to build a character who focussed on wrestling moves? I was thinking that gnome who used to be a pro-wrestler before moving into acting in pornos would make a good character. Are there any character classes that have any specific unarmed moves and beyond the general grapple rule there's not really any rules for stuff like wrestling moves is there?

Also, I am right in thinking Barbarian attacks are primal powers aren't I? If not and the ring is meant for Garold or GFZ then I'll change my post and they can have it.

Edit: I checked, it's appropriate for me, Slim or Garold. I'm keeping it then, pushing things around and prone is quickly becoming Beefi's style of choice.

Also, has anyone got a handy transfer enchantment scroll? Some of the swords have got decent effects on them but we don't need four swords between us.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Aw, it's not that powerful, especially since I'm not using a magic weapon so the main effect is nullified. Of course the underwater property of that sword stuck on my axe would be a perfect complement for when I'm travelling around on my riding shark. I guess that opening riddle did say something about a ring though and I was a touch surprised you were leaving 17 grand's worth of ring in the bottom of a chest. Heh, if Beefi wasn't so honest (And was played by Zerg) he'd probably fuck off back the way they came and keep the ring rather than finishing the quest.

If Wvlf's going to take another between-fights hiatus, can we just take it as read that someone has stuffed the last sword in his pack and we're dragging him along on the end of a rope or something?

FELIPE NO

I think it's pretty lucky that every puzzle type challenge we've encountered so far has had a largely "Smash things up" friendly solution. Unless of course you've adapted some otherwise more cerebral puzzles for the GFF mindset.

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

Hard in the way a text adventure with a crappy, small vocabulary is hard is not fun hard. I think we'd all take hard like Rourke's Drift was hard any day of the week.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Who's going to volunteer to climb into the hole then? You'll get first dibs on any tasty rat treats you find down there!

Behave, we're mosying along pretty well for a not fighty bit at the moment. Things might go quicker if your dungeon wasn't full of secret doors and lethal traps we have to meticulously search for every step of the way.

It's actually quite a refreshing surprise though for the dungeon not to just be wall to wall zombies, although I'm fairly convinced that with a bit of searching we could have found a really easy route straight to the end boss from the entrance to the tomb.

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

We've come pretty far without a rest for a GFF game, although I suppose we have only had two fights so far. Reckon we can get to the end in a single day? I have no idea how far in we are yet, although the progression of the riddle would suggest we're maybe halfway now.

Additional Spam:
That's going to be a pretty criminal waste of a natural 20 if the door turns out to not have been locked in the first place, Deni.

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

Man, that's at least five skill checks to reach safety. This has got ignomious death written all over it, I was hoping for an honourable end throwing Beefi into combat against some ridiculously over-levelled undead dragon to cover the rest of the Five's retreat or something that'd lend itself to him being re-entered once the general party reaches level 20. If I keep rolling single digits like that this won't end well.

OH GOD I'M TOTALLY FUCKED THESE FUCKING DICE HATE ME SO MUCH.

Done. I'm sure he wasn't planning on using his one mental skill check for anything else.

Additional Spam:
Out of interest, is there any benefit to mixing the skills up a bit or should I just go for Athletics all the time rather than mix and matching? I can think of so many better ways to die than pushed into lava by rotten dice rolling.

FELIPE NO

Ok, although in hindsight your move was probably a better one than mine.

You can do it next time!

Deleting a post with a dice roll in is really bad form though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Someone else's turn to play Wvlf this time round. Hawkeye's post was much more sensible than mine last time, I nominate him.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I wiped my hdd recently and haven't reinstalled the character builder yet so can you hook me up with a url and password please?

Edit: If I bump up my strength to 22 I get an extra +1, right? Given Beefi's one-trick-pony-ness I'll probably bump up strength anyway, along with constitution so he can ignore hits more often.

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

Ok, I'll add some strength and constitution and the Hide Armour expertise feat, although it was tough to choose between that, durable to make him even more unkillable or axe weapon focus and powerful charge because he doesn't do nearly enough damage already.

Edit: In fact, I'm going to retrain Opportunity Gore to Weapon focus Axe.

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

So with the obvious way ahead blocked, are we going to toss GFZ into the water-filled pit to see what's at the bottom or what?
