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?

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

The Skeleton got knocked into the trap. Is that going to disarm it, knock the skeleton prone, set off the trap etc?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh. That's a reasonable question. But none of the above, no. Just the standard smashed-into-an-immovable-object damage bonus.

Probably you can't by RAW, but I'd allow it. Really the thing's got enough HP that just disarming it would be a lot more efficient.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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.

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

On that general note what's the AC of the trap for smashing related purposes?

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

It's an inanimate object; it doesn't have an AC. You swing at it and you hit it, same as a door or a statue or something.

I was speaking idiomatically.

How am I bloodied? I've pretty much 2nd chanced and dodged my way out of most everything so far, no?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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?

I should have teleported to the Skeleton's side, if I'm not mistaken. The scimitars hit Beefi, therefore I get aegis attack.

Yeah, I can use a move action to move it instead of me. It's going on top of him again next turn.

15 from Rain of Steel and 13 from the flame jet, right? You're a striker, you're bloodied if I so much as brush you with a feather really.

Yeah, another 10 damage on the skelly then. Fixed.

Fixed (though you missed again). Map updated.

Sorry for the fuckups again, guys.

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

There's a whole fighter build basically designed for wrestlin' dudes; Brawler Fighter. Free grabs at-will, chokeholds as encounter powers, curbstomp as a daily. Cold-cock dragons e'erday.

The ring isn't really "for" anybody in specific; I stopped doing that once I decided to use inherent bonuses to fix the balance problems instead. But yeah Barbarians (and Seekers) are Primal.

Also it's much too high level for you to seriously expect you'll be able to keep it.

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

Why yes, how fortunate. That greedy bastard Zerg does have the tendency to abandon fallen allies, hoard valuables, and appropriate every single treasure that is found.

How ya doing, buddy?

Alright, alright, let's not bicker.

I updated your inventories and all that. Nobody specifically said they were actually wielding any of the four swords so if somebody intended to do that let me know. Otherwise you guys can feel free to do something more interesting than "I walk into a room I already looked at".

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Nearly every room has an arbitrary list of methods that just don't work for no good reason (like locked doors that Knock doesn't work on), so I've gone through the whole module just painting over those lists with a correction pen more or less.

Arguably the dungeon as-written would be a lot harder but only as a consequence of being frustrating and stupid.

How ya doing, buddy?

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.

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

I still wanna know what was on the end of my blade when it came back up.

I was speaking idiomatically.

A rat. You have captured a rare Intact Rat. What secrets does it hold?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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!
