[DnD] Let's Cast Magic Missile!

There doesn't seem to be any provision in 4E for holy water of any kind yet.

I suppose theoretically you could cast Bless on some source of water and then flask it, but I'm not sure it would be worth the use of Bless.

As an additional lurker-related note, you keep using Insight to look at random things, which is kind of... well.

Insight (Wisdom)
You can discern intent and decipher body language
during social interactions. You make an Insight check
to comprehend motives, to read between the lines, to
get a sense of moods and attitudes, and to determine
how truthful someone is being.

What you probably want is a Search check (Perception). Unless you think the inn might be lying to you somehow.

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

As I see it, if we keep them pinned together close enough we only ever have to fight a maximum of one each at a time and with enemies like that, it's the numbers that makes them dangerous. With Gabe blocking the stairs, Arg blocking the front door and the others shooting shit, I reckon we could hold out fairly indefinitely against run of the mill zombies. Gabe held off a fucking ogre for about 5 turns on his own after all.

We'd have to create a single-space corridor and funnel them through, but only one person could melee at a time, because otherwise they can just walk around you at the end of the corridor. We can try it your way if you want, but I say we just barricade the cellar and focus on the zombies walking around outside instead of splitting up, even if it is just a room away.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Bummer. Yeah, it'd be kind of a waste to bottle Bless unless it's at the end of the day or something, and even still I only have two flasks anyway. The inn may have some lying around though, might be worth thinking about.

It could be. There may not be a liquor license, which makes this establishment illegal.

(thanks)

How ya doing, buddy?

The only problem I see with that is if Pang throws something strong enough to bust the door open down the cave at us. My plan was always to just retreat and barricade the door if it was just zombies. I just don't want to have an undead troll smashing it's way at our backs without us having the chance for a round of surprise attacks on it first.

I mean, if I were a necromancer and I found out a bunch of adventurers were holed up in the pub, I'd let the zombies distract them outside and send my big, scary henchman through the tunnel in the cellar to surprise them. I think we've been singing from the same hymn sheet all along mate.

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

We still have time. Why don't we go investigate that back tunnel, and if it goes nowhere, great, one less thing to worry about. If it starts leading to a mausoleum, we can get the hell out of dodge.

Most amazing jew boots

And if we disturb the sleeping dead, get the hell out of dodge while getting the tar kicked out of us.

On the other hand, that way we know.

Pang, you gave a description of where the cavern turns. Where does the mausoleum lie in relation to the Feral Dog?

I was speaking idiomatically.

The cemetery is a few hundred feet northwest of the inn.

grumble grumble


geez can you goons come to some kind of decision in the next week maybe

Most amazing jew boots

GOD FINE

FELIPE NO

LOOK ALRIGHT, SOME OF US ARE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO FACING CERTAIN DEATH IN A NEEDLESS SIEGE AGAINST OVERWHELMING NUMBERS OF THE UNDEAD SO LET'S FORGET ALL THIS TALK OF INVESTIGATING TUNNELS HOPING TO BRING THIS WHOLE DEBACLE TO A SWIFT CONCLUSION AND HUNKER DOWN AND FORTIFY THIS PUB, OK? NOW I HOPE YOU ALL KNOW THE WORDS TO MEN OF HARLECH BECAUSE YOU WON'T HAVE A FREE HAND TO HOLD THE CRIB-SHEET WHEN THE BUTCHERING STARTS.



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

Men of Freeport stop your dreaming
Can't you see their claw points gleaming
See their undead pennants streaming
To this battlefield
Men of Freeport stand ye steady
It cannot be ever said ye
For the battle were not ready
Freemen never yield
From the hills rebounding
Let these war cries sounding
Summon all at Melora's call
The mighty force surrounding
Men of Freeport on to glory
This will ever be your story
Keep these burning words before ye
Freemen will not yield

How ya doing, buddy?

There's two staircases in the Feral Dog map. They both lead to the cellar, right? And thus you will presume we secured both staircases, and not sneak any undead bastards around one staircase since we only were referring to them in the singular?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The stairs in the room with all the crates and barrels actually um shouldn't even be there and I forgot to cover them up so just treat that as ordinary floor



Most amazing jew boots

I thought those other stairs just led up to the raised stage in the bar room.

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

SECRET STAIRS.

RELATED SOUND CLIP

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'll take over as Ewan if no one has any objections. I'd like to put all of the useless knowledge I learned to some kind of use. Does he have any abilities from his time as a bouncer or is he pretty much just a normal unarmed person along for the ride?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I have no objection so long as you lose that horrid oversized sig.

FELIPE NO

Why is there a dead guy laying outside of the bar? =o

How ya doing, buddy?

No objection here, Hawkeye. He has a few things he can do, even if his weapons aren't the greatest.

Ewan Level 1
Medium natural humanoid
HP 29; Bloodied 14
Speed 6

Melee: Frying Pan (standard; at-will) ✦Weapon
+3 vs. AC; 1d8 + 1 damage, and Ewan shifts 1 square.

Ranged: Carving Knife (standard; at-will) ✦Weapon
Ranged 5/10; +5 vs. AC; 1d4 + 3 damage.

Melee: Impromptu Dentistry (standard; encounter) ✦Weapon
Requires frying pan; +3 vs. AC; 1d8 + 1 damage, the target is dazed
until the end of Ewan’s next turn, and Ewan shifts 1 square.

Crowd Control
Ewan deals an extra 1d6 damage on melee and ranged attacks against any target he has combat advantage against.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Should have made Ewan black, Pang. Always gotta have a black man in dese tings.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

We go to the battlemap with the peasant art we have, not the peasant art we wish he had.

Because he's tired is why

So many questions

Nosy, all of you

NOSY

Most amazing jew boots

Maybe I can be Sleepy.

Wait, no. Let's name him John.

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

Aren't you in some monster's stomach?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well, my character is. I think.

Maybe.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Do I have more than one knife? Or can I only use it once? Presumably there are more in the kitchen but knowing would be good.

P.S. sorry about the sig. I expected the site to just tell me it was too big, i thought it did that with my avatar at any rate

FELIPE NO

Oh, sorry. 4 knives.

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