For Alcohol and Glory! [OOC Thread]

[NekoIncardine]

Still here, just lurking in a corner.

[Haluesen]

Well, I might have made a record for slowest DM, but a posting finally happened. Let's hope I can keep it up now.

Alright, as for the Sense Motive against AC and possible penalty question, I use the combat maneuver Sapphire Nightmare Blade as example that a check made against AC for some sort of ability does not take an attack penalty. That's how I've learned to play that, so I figure it is the best ruling I can make here.

Try not to make the fight too short though. I'm eager to see this more.

Don't worry, Riko's damage output is fairly low compared to Xera's, but she has a lot of defensive options. She'll also be kiting Xera for the majority of the fight too, since she can't just sit there and throw amulets.

I'm sorry, I thought this thread died, So i haven't checked it in a bit. I'm glad i caught it. anyway thanks for the information on the funky skill check as attack, it really did matter on what my next move was.

anyway, it looks like i rolled a crit on my second attack, also, super low damage as per par for the course.

confirmation roll.
(1d20+5)[6]

extra damage if necessary
(1d8+4)[12]

[edit]
Yup, the dice roller hates me. nat one, and max damage. *sigh*

[Morcleon]

Um... removing the needle requires a standard action...

[Haluesen]

Nope not dead, just rather slow, which again I apologize for. A week or so can happen sometimes, but this was inexcusable. I am trying to make up for it however I can, I guess just by being more active now.

Also Edro gonna need an initiative roll from you too.

[Winds]

He rolled on first heading in, got a 23.

[Haluesen]

He Skyped me about it. Dang I am bad at remembering things.

You still hit though.

Also, just a minor note, removing the needle takes a standard action, so you might wanna change that. It matters because of the skill penalties, and because of the last part of Dichromatic Lotus Butterfly:

Maiden's Capriccio-You can use this option when you're attacked by an opponent currently affected by one or more of your Persuasion Needles. Make a Sense Motive check opposed by your attacker highest skill check. If you suceed, the attack fails to affect you. Either way all Persuasion Needles on your attacker mysteriously vanish.
If you suceeded by 20 or more, your opponent becomes one step friendlier towards you.

[TheThan]

At Morcleon:
Edited my post, made my second one
Think you could repost your sheet? I’m interested in studying up your character so I can figure out how to defeat you!
Also, ouchy.

Anyway maybe we should do a headcount, see now many players we still have since we had quite a few and I’m not sure if we still have everyone.

[EdroGrimshell]

I keep imagining that ASCENTION! being said like an OBJECTION! from Phoenix Wright. Is that intentional?

Yeah, sure.

I only have one of my maneuvers left readied though, which is a multi-target attack that I can reroll attacks on. It's not much more effective than just a basic attack when going with one opponent though.

No, but it's a pretty funny reference. I was thinking of it more as a battle cry, probably shouted in katakana.

[Haluesen]

I'm up for a headcount. I'm here!

I g\should really look at everyone's sheets again though, see what's what. I don't always remember all the characters' abilities.

Also the OBJECTION thing was kinda what I was thinking too. But I do know what you were really going for with that Morcleon.

[TheThan]

blech botched first attack roll:
(1d20+5)[14]

Think I'm going to lose by virtue of being down 10 HP compared to Riko.
even if i could hit her for a fair deal, too many defense tricks.

Actually, Riko's first amulet was a natural 20, so that one hits anyway. Not much point confirming the crit, though, since Xera's AC is enough that it would require another 20. Also, you do get a Reflex save (DC 16) to negate the three damage from her stance.

And yeah, Dream Battle gives a very large number of defensive things, with reduced damage on offense as a trade-off. I think it's to replicate the feel of the Touhou games. You can dodge ridiculous numbers of attacks, but can't nearly put out similar damage.

[Winds]

Still here. My character sheet is linked in my sig.

One side of the gestalt is Scout out of CAdventurer, the other is Myrmidon.

[TETanglebrooke]

still here. Warlock//Wizard, utility focused.

yeah, that's pretty much what I'm noticing.

also reflex saving throw
(1d20+6)[8]

[TETanglebrooke]

So I really don't have anything to do until I get a hook.

[Haluesen]

Right...I have some plans on that front (not that plans tend to survive first contact with PC's), but I will put in something for you here soon when I next post.

[Morcleon]

I... may have completely forgotten that it was my turn.

Post will be incoming!

[Haluesen]

Yeah please do so.

Also Edro I'm gonna need you to roll percentile dice here. Kord Worshipper using immediate action ability, will describe after you roll, but I can't make my post without the results of this roll.

[EdroGrimshell]

Okay then
(1d%)[99]

[TheThan]

well it looks like the fight is over.

really wanted to win that one; but it was MUCH closer than I thought it would be, specially since Riko is up 10 HP.

That deal damage to enemies adjacent to you ability is REALLY mean.

Yeah... your last attack nearly finished it. Just three points away. And yes, since Riko is a ranged combatant primarily, the stance is a way to dissuade melee attackers.

Still, that was very close. Nicely done.

[Winds]

Still here. Just waiting on whatever that Kordsman's ability does before the next action.

[EdroGrimshell]

It was light fortification, he's down.

Hal told me on Skype.

[Winds]

*shrug* Next turn, then.

[TheThan]

You know you just multiply the damage by the critical multiplier right? You don't roll it again.

Actually, that’s not true.

You do roll your weapon damage on a critical hit multiple times. however it’s such a common house rule that it’s easy to forget that it’s a house rule.

.... sorry, I'm just being nit picky. I'll shut up now.

I think we're using it here, that's why I mentioned it. Though you are right, it's so common it's often seen as the actual rule.

Also, that Tanglefoot Bomb is taxing on my Junkheap ability, at best I can make two on one charge of my junkheap ability then I'm pretty much tapped out.
