[DnD] Let's Cast Magic Missile!

Zerg, let me make sure I understand your post.

You shift to V-5 as a reaction. Okay, fine. Then you fire off a Careful Attack at Helga.



Sure. Then you sprint over to AB-1, where your molecules merge with Garrmondo's as you occupy the same space. While the fusion is occurring, you attack Helga again in an unspecified manner. You already attacked during this turn, so you spend an action point. Then you take an AoO from Helga for using your bow at melee range.

THEN you run back to the bridge, necessitating that you pass by Ortak (having somehow avoided it on the way to your date with Garr) and take another AoO. Additionally, having already moved and attacked this turn, you spend another AP in order to perform this second move.

Is this correct? I don't want to move ahead if I'm misunderstanding you.

Skills, his Warrior's Surge oddly does not specify that he uses his Healing Surge, so I guess he has one on top of that.

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

Sorry Pang, slight typo there. It's a bit more straightforward than that, promise. I wrote AB-1 when I meant AB-5



I basically interjected a standard action between a move action (move 6 squares, fire off at-will attack, finish movement at 8 squares). If it's illegal, I won't mind one bit if you forfeit the missed attack so I get my arrow back

Is a knowledge check considered a standard action? I'm thinking I'd like to do a nature check on the troll, see if Cal knows what makes it tick. Take 10 if possible.

Oh! And thanks for the gift, Pangsy

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, you can't pause a move action and then resume it like that, so I guess you'll just spend your turn fleeing.

Knowledge checks are free actions — either you know or you don't, you aren't actually doing anything other than racking your brain.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

So gang, we has a trolls that can regenerate if not hit with fire or acid. None of us have any at-will attacks with those, I don't think. Other than Garr's firebombs and Glock's explosives which lack sulfur, what other resources do we have?

Lure the troll into the hearth or something, and push him in?

FELIPE NO

Does anyone have arrows? Light that shit on fire.

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

I have arrows, but realistically it takes some time to heat up the metal arrowhead...

We don't have any oil either, do we?

I'd vote for diplomacy but Pang already turned down two such attempts. Not gonna work.

Say, Glock threw some ale into the bridge. Is that stuff flammable?

Edit: Sorry Skills. Just doing idle speculation. Unless we has a plan, I'm not actually going to do anything other than give piercings to duergar scouts

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Stop overthinking and ruining the plans I have going already, Zerg, damn.

I told you to let me handle it

Most amazing jew boots

Just kill this guy already. And I don't mean the trolls.

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

Notwithstanding that his ability to remember that you can do knowledge checks is the only immediately obvious reason why this fight won't end with an effectively immortal giant pounding you into the dirt while you all go buh

Okay, yeah, player knowledge, but that's lame as hell

Yeah Zerg has kind of a problem with overanalysis but analyzing anything at all is not so bad unless you're into the whole party-wipe thing.

And this wouldn't be a spectacular and fascinating thing to watch happen why, Pang?

Nah we can just ask a reaper [NPC related to this subquest] to come bail us out if we're at risk of a TPK

Ah, but we are now operating under the Lurker Protocol of May 2009, which states:

Deus Ex Machina devices preventing the total annihilation of the party shall not be employed save after the death of 1 or more characters in a given combat.

Besides, basically every NPC in this burg has either been mooned or had robot cock waved at them, it's basically down to Gheth calling in direct divine intercession if you get boned.



I have no objection in principle to the total slaughter of the party, Deni. It's just kind of ruined for me if I achieve it purely because they were too busy giving each other wedgies to actually pay attention. Don't kill yourselves. Let me kill you.

How ya doing, buddy?

"You walk into a room."

"What's in it?"

"Fifteen elder red dragons."

"...oh."

"And a Beholder."

"Can we run?"

"If you want."

"We run."

"Are you sure?"

"Um... yes?"

"Too bad. The wizard turned the door into a portal to the abyss. You're dead."

"What wizard?!"

"He was hiding. Tough luck."

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

Deni, there's totally a way you can kill me in swift horrible ways. Get your game running, and I promise I'll sign up

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's no challenge. Everyone dies in Shadowrun. Besides, given how little I'm around these days, it'd be the slowest game on the face of the planet.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Dunno, I think LeHah's Star Wars game is going a little bit slower

On a related note, I got an itch to play on the other side of the DM's screen for a change and so I signed up for a PbP over at ENWorld. The DM sends me a PM, tells me my character's locked in a box. I tell him I want to break out of the box. He says I can't. I tell him I wanna tip the box over. He says I can't. I say I wanna yell real loud until some other asshole opens this fucking box. He says nobody hears me.

Eventually I get out of the fucking box (all 5 players were locked in boxes, I shit you not) and then we spent literally an entire month standing around introducing ourselves to each other before I gave up and just deleted my bookmark and never looked back

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

@Deni

"No fair! I'm telling Mom. "

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

I seem to remember Ayos saying he wanted to try running a game of Werewolf.

One will get you ten that game is going slowest of all.

Just for the sake of curiosity, how did everyone get out of the boxes?

Rocks fall.

EverySomebody dies.

As long as it's not a man-eating gazebo.

Hey. Ghandi is anti-violence, NOT anti-comedy.
