[DnD] Let's Cast Magic Missile!

Curse these bafflingly out-of-character non-hostile role play gamers!

Care to share their stats since you've plotted them out and etc.?

Pleeeeeeease?



FELIPE NO

But that would be a nice campaign to play. Dungeon of Doom redux, except they have to break in and then break out...

The original two horde members still haven't taken revenge on the Duke who imprisoned them in the first place, right?

How ya doing, buddy?

You can always subscribe to the game thread and tell it to e-mail you any updates...

After what seems like an eternity of trying not to inhale, the halfling finally hauls him up by the hem of his robe. It takes the elf several minutes to slowly haul the cake-on-a-rope out of the whirlpool — the damned thing is heavy enough without dealing with water pressure. Still, the coating of flammable oil on the dessert keeps it from getting too waterlogged.

Thoroughly wet and bedraggled, Bob sets to wringing the water out of his robes before he even considers dragging the cake up the ladder and down the street.

I don't see anyone surrounding anyone

There's nowhere I can't reach.

And, minus interspersed periods of my allowing Zerg and Skills to fuck with people, that pretty much brings us up to today!

Propped for best concise quest run-on sentence summary I've ever seen!

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

Hoho, now they're gonna get an earful on why they didn't protect his dear beloved Aunt Lurker!

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

Wow. Just like that, the original Horde is no more. With Skills and CetteHamster taking over, I guess I'll be first in line now cheering for somebody's demise

I was speaking idiomatically.

Whoops, sorry bout that Skexxy. I guess I'll be rooting for two of you to die then, eh?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Too bad Zerg. =(

I'm sure the next few encounters will kill one of you, anyhow, no matter how well prepared you are.


Man, when can my archer [there'samoratoriumonhumanssoIdon'tknowwhatracetous e] will waltz right in!

FELIPE NO

WORST ADVENTURER EVER

It's okay. I'm sure you can edit it or pursuade Skills to delete the post to hide the incriminating rolls and Pang will not be any wiser!

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

It was certainly a far more... uncivilized era.

Or perhaps the young ones nowadays are soft and weak.

Your pick.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I assume that dwarf who went on a naked toboggan ride has him?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It's A SURPRISE!

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

Heh, I've had the name picked for ages, so...

Oh man, a character who specializes in ranged combat, and he's got to be surrounded by a bunch of melee fighters

Oh, and Glock gets to shift me up to U12 tops

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

Huh, could've sworn you couldn't shift allies into a disadvantageous position without their permission

I don't suppose you'll reconsider shifting Cal to W9 or X8 instead?

How ya doing, buddy?

I provided an "out" for that in Cal's history, Lehah. But, I suppose you could always knock up a different character if the ban on humans stands.

This

seems to be the most comprehensive map of the area that you've supplied, Pang. From which direction did the horde traipse from? Was it from V23?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Got a couple of attack-related questions:

1. Every time I want to attack with arrows, I need to load the bow (which is considered a minor action right?). If so, Cal has some encounter/daily powers that let loose two arrows at once - does he need to spend two minor actions reloading the weapon?

2. I want to check if I'm interpreting the data on the wiki correctly:

• Hunter's Teamwork is Dexterity vs. AC, combat advantage granted if 2 allies are adjacent to target. You've put down +10 to hit, 1d10+7 damage alongside it.
• The basic poisoned longbow attack is +11 to hit vs. AC, 1d10+7 damage, and extra +1d6 poison damage on a critical roll.

So, is it safe for me to say that using the basic attack will always be better than the at-will attack, since the bonus to hit is higher by one point - and there's a critical bonus to boot (although currently useless against poison-immune dwarves)?

FELIPE NO

Yeah well, if only you shifted Cal in the opposite direction, he'd prioritize the giant...

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

He died valiantly and with great honor.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh, it will eventually come. Eventually Pang will roll up some monsters that are too strong.

However, I am curious. Why are you that hostile towards me?

How ya doing, buddy?

My apologies, Colonel.

It is not my intention to derail any of the group's plans in any way. I'm playing a shapeshifter, so I plan to be adaptable to any situation.

To avoid this kind of dispute in the future, I will state in advance my intentions in this thread, and you folks can say so if you think it is too disruptive.

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

:'(

We can always just abandon this quest and wreak Mr. Pangalin's carefully-orchestrated encounter! The one with cannons firing from every direction. I mean, the reward is what, 500 GP?

____________

Pang, I'd like to confirm something about range.

What is the maximum range the longbow can reach? Is it 20 squares or 40 squares?
Second, how many squares ahead can my character see? And how does it compare with duergar vision?
Third, if my character can't see an enemy, but thinks that an enemy is lurking in the shadows 20 squares away, can he shoot at the suspected square without a penalty to hit?

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

No technological artillery? Great. Now if only you can promise you won't pit us against biological artillery similar to Starship Trooper plasma bugs... or dragons of sorts

Additional Edit:

I'm trying to get a sense on the general layout of the dungeon. Reconnaissance, if you will.

This

is a splicing of the maps you've provided. Are the placements correct, and is the arrow correct? I would also like to know whether the party came from the location I labeled as A, or from B, as these seem to be the only exits.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Hay Pang, I am fishing for information!

My character did not notice which direction the crossbow bolts came from. But, did he:
a. Hear how many hit the door?
b. Notice whether they came from one direction, or from multiple vantage points?

I know he was all surprised and stressed but he's a ranged specialist and might pay a greater degree of attention to little details like that. [Insert further rationalization here to pursuade Pang.]
