Questions:
1) are the starting platforms lit? IE, do we have starting LoS of any sort?
2) how soon do the green square disintegrate after an action? immediately? one round later?
3) how does the lighting work from a distance? if someone is standing near a light source on the other side of the map, can i see them?

[V for Victory]

Initative: (1d20+4)[20]

[Sallera]

No, as soon as the action is complete, and yes.

[V for Victory]

Opposed Initiative with Introbulus: (1d20+4)[10]

[vollmond]

Actually, ties go to the higher mod; no need for opposed.

[IncarnumJunkie]

So the order is

V
Introbulus
IncarnumJunkie
vollmond.

Am I correct on that?

[vollmond]

Looks right to me

((We have very limited power. I won't be able to post for awhile. Please be patient, as it may take awhile for power to come back to our house. It could take all weekend.))

((Any way to use a public source to post like a library or something?))

((Local sources also lack power. We have a generator running, but only for important things. I'm sneaking in on my mom's computer at the moment, and I don't really want to risk looking up DnD rules until I get my own computer back. Though I guess I can post a move, and add my stat block later. Yeah, I think I'll do that so we can get this moving.))

Thag, Round 1

Note: I have a pending ref question regarding the jump check modifier (posted in the waiting room with full details). I'm going ahead and posting my turn to move the round along, but if it turns out the dog's jump check is only +8 (and not +12 as I believe), I would like to revise my turn.

Starting in B-13, mounted and wielding a lance two-handed.
Immediate: enter Ferocity.
Full-Round: Charge at Aeochromine, ending in I6.

Autosucceed on Guide With Knees check.
Jump - (1d20+12)[19] DC15 edit: ok, so the ref question above is momentarily unimportant
Attack - (1d20+9)[25]
Damage - (3d6+21)[30]

[IncarnumJunkie]

*sigh...*
I hope I never have to fight another Gnomish Gnight ever again...

Aeochromine = DEAD.

[Sallera]

Erm, wait up a moment. I believe that damage is supposed to be +12, not +21, which I think leaves you conscious.

Right, ferocity. Ne'er mind then.

[vollmond]

+5 STR (from Ferocity) x 1.5 for two-handed, x3 for charging

edit: if it helps, i totally would have gone for the warlock if i could see him

edit2: initiative is now

Dexter, Round 2

Hmm...Dexter may need to change strategy.

Okay, dropping my Heavy Flail and drawing his bow, Dexter is going to draw his longbow and fire on Thag. Since I'm firing into shadowy illumination, that's a 20% miss chance, so...

Miss chance: (1d100)[94] (Calling anything above a 20 as a hit)

Attack: (1d20+4)[24]
Critical: (1d20+4)[21]
Damage: (1d8)[3]
Crit Damage: (2d8)[12]

Still in square X12

[vollmond]

V: do I get to see where that eldritch blast came from? Or at least what lights are doused by your invocation currently? (not 100% sure how Warlocks work) never mind, i'm stupid

Int: ouch, nice rolling

turn to come in a while (about to leave work)

[vollmond]

Actually, wait... nooooooooo I forgot Thag doesn't have Rageclaws he's at -1 and out of the running. Stupid critical.

[Trobby]

((Y'know, I hate to point something out that could ruin an awesome critical, but you COULD try to take cover behind your riding dog. Granted, it would mean your riding dog got shot, but it could save you.))

[vollmond]

Unfortunately, the +4 to AC won't be enough to save me -- the crit would still confirm. But thanks for the reminder I had completely forgotten about that option.

edit: actually, hang on, let me make sure it wouldn't be good cover confirmed, would only be +4

[Trobby]

Ah, well don't worry about it. ^^; I'm a human, so there's a good chance I'm going to lose anyway.

Speaking of which, V, it's your turn!
