[DnD] Let's Cast Magic Missile!

I find it funny how the story progresses depending on and according to whomever's available to post.

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

Well, honestly, if we stood around waiting on everyone to take a vote you'd all still be back at the stairwell.

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

Are we technically in combat or will it not initiate until the ooze wants one of us?

I was speaking idiomatically.

I swear, if I wasn't playing someone who follows a war god, I'd just walk into the north room, shut the door, and let it eat the elf.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

If you were in combat I'd have posted an initiative order.

As it is the ooze will probably leave you alone until it's done eating corpses, or until one of you makes a sudden move (whichever comes first).

(There are no rules for how long does it take to dissolve a goblin so I'm kind of winging this)

Yet, I bet somewhere on a D&D site there is a post calling out the makers of the game for being less than thorough for this very reason. And then fifteen straight posts by chem majors saying they dissolved pig flesh in a mildly acidic gel solution and then broke it down by number of rounds, assuming a round is somewhere around 6 seconds. And then 20 posts of people arguing it's closer to 6.2 seconds. And then a lot of people bitching about how they shouldn't have given up on edition 3.5 and then 140 posts of people haranguing about how AD&D was the pinnacle of play and all these greenhorns should go to hell.

Games aren't about fun, Pang. They're about precision and reality.

Simulation is fun

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hmm... I think Pang's desire to murderize some adventurers may be continuously foiled by 4th Editions inherent difficulty achieving player character death.

Also, nice av/sig pang. Should have left in the "AH AH AH AH" though, because the only thing creepier than a Dracula robot is one that won't stop laughing.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I have the lowest-HP party member trapped behind a giant blob of acid

inherent difficulty, psh

I've been working a lot lately.

Next time, try throwing Mots. See what that does. (Alternatively, toss more tables. That was awesome.)

How ya doing, buddy?

Holy crap that table did a lot of damage. Someone chuck a keg of ale at it next.

Oh yes by all means go stand in the beer puddle and try to lift a heavy thing.


By all means do

Well now. That certainly went poorly.

Ah right, forgot one keg was spilled already. Why isn't the puddle on the map, Pang?

Also, stop that Pang! You want them to die and yet you give them such clear warnings not to do something stupid that would amuse us all. I for one would have loved to see Gabriel try it. It could have been chronicled forever on the 1st page of this thread.

Gabriel Sledgehammer, deceased. Cause of death: Keg of orcish ale.

Spoiler:

I just realized Deni's character is listed as "Gabriel Sledgegammer" on the first page

How ya doing, buddy?

Keep splitting them, Deni. Maybe if you get them small enough you can keep one as a pet.

If he can find the requisite jellybeans, of course.

Because I have opted to shift most of my map-editing time into a full re-haul rather than continue to update the low-res map.

Yes

What the hell program is that, Pang? That's fucking magnificent.

He just looks constipated to me, but that map is dope as hell.

It's time for Rules Corner!

Three of you (Soggy, Argumentus, Gabe) have contracted filth fever from the bite of a dire rat. How can you get better?

When the party takes an extended rest (as it's seemingly just about to), all diseased characters make an Endurance check. For every disease there are two checks to meet: If you meet the low check, you don't get any worse. If you meet the high check: you get better! (and, obviously, if you meet neither check you get worse)

All three of you are trained in the Heal skill. The Heal skill has various functions, but when resting you can choose to spend the rest period (6 hours plus-or-minus) tending a sick character (you can choose to treat yourself). This replaces the Endurance check for the sick character with the Heal check of the character who's playing doctor!

Beefnut the Wizard has contracted Mummy Rot. Beefnut has a low Endurance check (only 3!). However, his friend Gene the Cleric has a Heal check of 8!

When Beefnut and Gene rest, a disease check is made for Beefnut: The die roll is 10.

If Beefnut leaves it to his own endurance to fight the disease, he only adds 3 to his roll of 10: 13. This is not nearly enough to fight off the Mummy Rot, and necrosis begins to eat away at his flesh.

If Gene forgoes resting to help Beefnut, we add Gene's 8 to the die: 18! While this doesn't cure Beefnut, it will stabilize him until better help can be found.

Now, the three of you have very high endurance so in this case doctorin' won't actually aid your chances. Keep these guidelines in mind in the event that a weaker character gets sick, however!

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