Very mind dear, at least you're pretty.
@Marlowe: I tell that to myself every day.
@all: Don't forget the +1 from Raif's Bless spell.
@Wordplay: Oh thanks! I totally forgot about that. :smallfrown:
@Machughang: I'm taking it that Eleanora, due to not having Ride-by Attack, is now at a standstill next to Spearlin 2?- Don't worry, he's already dead :smalleek:.
To make things way easier in the map for next round, the enemies will actually be labeled properly.
EDIT: Okay, I'm having a real hard time believing how bad the forum is rolling for the Goblin's attacks :smalleek:, I've re-rolled them with my own dice just to see what would have happened and going by those rolls Raif would have taken another 4 points and Verossa would have taken 5 from the first bow attack against her :smallfrown:.
Also, I'd apologise for Verossa's last remark. Except that I geniunely thought it was funny.
Inspire courage added to the IC post
@Machuchang: I need you to roll a D20 IC to determine if Daranard or the 'Unknown' enemy goes first. Both are acting on the same Initiative, and have the same DEX bonus :smalleek:.
@Malak'ai: To be fair, with Raif's AC, the Goblins only have about a 1 in 4 chance of hitting, and one out of two hit. The one that hit rolled max for damage, so it's not all going the PCs way.
The bow goblins have even less chance to hit Verossa. It doesn't help that so far the goblins have been attacking the characters with the highest AC.
@Wordplay: They attacked the people who advanced towards them in some way. And seeing as 3 of the Goblin's (2 'Bowlin's' and 1 'Spearlin') are dead already with the party only taking 6 points of damage(albeit on one person), I think the combat is going the way of the PC's quite nicely.
If your referring to me rolling my dice just to see what would have happened at the actual table, then yeah, it does seem a bit unfair, but as Marlowe can attest to, my actual dice (and I have 3 d20's) go through periods of rolling decently and rolling really bad.
We had one session IRL where, with changing the dice, we rolled nothing but 3's atleast 3/4's of the time. The next session, 2 of my dice rolled nothing under a 14... If you want to know, I rolled an 18 to hit Raif and a 17 to hit Verossa. And D6's are just fickle :smalltongue:.
This is not looking good for our loveable little greeny/grey snot flickers, their big mean, hairy boss and his evil pet pooch :smallfrown:.
Yeah, but at least the boss won't have to see us taking out his troops anymore.
Who has two thumbs and possesses phenomenal cosmic powers?
THIS GUY!!!
Mad props, Arranis. Mad props.
As I can atest, if by some chance you're ever gaming in person with Malak'ai, myself, or D for that matter, don't bother using any spell that allows a Will Save. Just don't. I guarantee that the save will be passed.
Seems to work both ways fortunately. My wisdom-impaired spoiled princess-in-exile-Sorceress shrugged off three Feeblemind spells in a row in one battle.
Where as D's Sorcerer failed his and decided to attack the Giant with his bare hands.
And my Ranger went through 3 bow strings in 5 rounds :smallfurious:.
EDIT: And don't forget D making us roll Spellcheck every time we tried to cast a spell, and saying we lost the spell if we failed.
AND his Half-Celestial Paladin who could hit anything on a 3, but NEVER hit when trying to Smite Evil... Except the earthworms :smalltongue:.
So many houserules. All of them pathetic.
But it was liberating, really.
Because I learned I can know nothing about the game, play a newbie blaster sorceress with a backstory ripped off an anime character who was designed as "the character played by somebody's 9-year old little sister, who's just with the gamers to save on babysitting bills, and who doesn't understand the rules at all", have the houserules deliberately designed to screw me over, Get turned into a ferret twice, use the same 3 spells over and over again...
and yet I can still be more effective than D or G.
Although I really messed up the spell duration on flight. What. I hadn't played since the dawn of 3.0.
@Malak'ai: Oh, no question, it hasn't gone the goblins way, and I expected them to go for whoever moved to attack. I was just saying that the dice rolls for the goblins weren't so surprising, but yeah, the party's been quite lucky with their attack and damage rolls.
Raif's clearly got the luck of a goblin...:smallsmile:
@Wordplay: By the looks of that to hit roll, you certainly do :smalltongue:.
Also, it was Daranard that killed the other Spearlin that was flanking you, Eleanora (with some minor assistance from her horse) took out the one on the hill.
@Marlowe: But D's game always rock! Going against Chain Devil's with a party of five level 4 characters and his two DMPC's or his latest attempt with the wacked out character gen rules... :smallyuk:.
@Malak'ai: Oops. Chalk that one up to the fog of war. Raif saw a dead goblin, saw Elenora, jumped to the wrong conclusion.
Shucks. A 1. :smallfrown:
@Machuchang: I'd like to appologize. You don't need to make the check to Control Mount in Combat. I misread the passage, that check is for controlling NON-war trained mounts.
@Malak'ai: No worries, dude. :smallsmile:
Damn cowardly Goblin's! Why can't they be suicidal idiots like they are in most computer RPG's! :smalltongue:
Seriously! Who does he think he is?
If we catch him, can we recruit him? He seems like he might have a decent Wisdom modifier.
Also, "large female brute"?:smallbiggrin:
Verossa is twice his height, over three times his weight, to him your a f&%king Titan! Especially when you take out one of his companions in one strike and almost cut the Bugbear in half with another :smalltongue:.
And I think it's more instinct rather than Wisdom to run away at this point.
Yeah, plus Verossa's a head taller than most of her travelling companions, the only one even close to her in height is Daranad at 5'10. I always imagine Raif having to look up when he's talking to her. The next tallest are Raif and Drayner, who are only 5'6.
We should definitely recruit him - he can be our next cleric after Raif's goblin luck kills him :smallbiggrin:
Trust me, he's not getting away. :smallwink:
Edit: Okay... He might.
Okay, Daranard's turn now. The Worg got to go first since it is using it's own DEX mod to determine if it or Daranard went first.
I guess I'm outside of 250ft then and can't help. But I can see everyone right?
