[DnD] Let's Cast Magic Missile!

So like, Pang. what's the flammability of the ale Glock tossed out on the bridge, assuming we break open the keg and liberally spread the contents all over Gorg?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Have you ever tried to set beer on fire?

protip:

you can't

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

But... but...

YouTube Video

Actually no, I haven't.

FELIPE NO

Poor Zerg. Thwarted by common sense.

Again.

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

Stupid common sense, always ruining my plans

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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

So you were rp-ing Saw?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The current team's fondness for planning, basic understanding of the rules and a willingness to actually read any of the manuals certainly seems to have made them much harder to kill then the original Horde. We never would have made it past the angry dwarf in the forge without loss, let alone across the fortified bridge. Nobody in the G-Unit's even been reduced to zero hitpoints yet have they?

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

Not in this adventure, no. But in fairness to the Horde, I must say that battles probably ran faster in their day. You had a walking tank (Argumentus), two very-strong damage-dealing dwarves (Motsognir and the Tobogganer) and a ranged striker that does area attacks (Bob).

Plus, Bob's mage hand ability would have easily bypassed the barricaded door, I think. The current team seems to specialize in unorthodox solutions to problems - still pretty much amazed at how strong bluff and diplomacy is.

Combo armadillo football is pretty inspired too.

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

We were quite a traditional DnD party certainly. If anything though, that limited our options outside of smashing things up when it came to fights. Wizard utility spells certainy make traps and puzzles a lot easier and Bob's decent knowledge skills meant we knew a bit more about the world around us without having to read the books but our main combat approach was always going to be wade in and attack things until they or we died.

I'm sure that if we spent a little time more planning things and a bit less writing mini-novels about unrequited gay love we would have made a slightly more efficient fighting force though. Skills and Acer's inventiveness is a whole different kettle of fish mind you, I'm enjoying the thread just as much as an onlooker as I did as a player.

I had Acer on the ropes for a second there, but Skills time-paradoxed it away from me.

But let's be fair, they've just been fighting dwarves. Dwarves don't know how to kill anything.

Hardly. The party probably has a higher average damage per round now than at any time in the past now that it actually has Strikers in it. Look how fast you guys killed Helga. She got to do each of her signature attacks once, then boom.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Can someone explain to me why something would work the THIRD TIME if it didn't the FIRST OR SECOND TIMES?

FELIPE NO

Next Week: G-Unit attempts to negotiate with the tarrasque

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

Because third time's the CHARM, baby.

Except for when it comes to Pang, it seems

Also Tarrasques are easy. Those red elder dragons that are bitches.

Foiled by reading comprehension. How embarrassing

It has been fixeds!

Most amazing jew boots

I'm assuming the door I just moved to has dots on it to show it's locked.

In which case

I was speaking idiomatically.

Those are the exterior doors from the bridge, Skex. They're already open.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yeah, that's a one square thick stone wall, not a thin tunnel passage.

FELIPE NO

Oh lovely

Additional Spam:
Hopefully that will work too (edited)

What do that icon with the three cyan circles on white mean?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's indicating which enemy is your current quarry.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

OH. Okay then!

Query: Any chance we can get a full list of the map icons, in the first post of this thread?

... You could just go back to the first page or so after each new person comes in. Pang posts it pretty regularly.

Uh, Skex, you seem to really have an issue with walls.
There is a solid wall between yourself at X-3 and the door I believe you are indicating. That door, in the closed position, is supposed to border X-3 and Y-3, not X-4 and X-3.

This is not to say that your blatant disregard for walls is not amusing, its just you aren't using it to its fullest extent. I'm sure there is plenty of room for slapstick in your narrative...
