I'm more into songs like Glory to the Brave or Fight for Freedom. And if you really want to set the mood, nothing does it like March of Cambreadth. How many of them can we make die!

You can target the unit because they count as a single person.

I am AFB (Away From Book), can you remind me what Phase does again? Are you becoming Kitty Pryde?

Ever piece is where it should be, save for you. I didn't know where to put you.

Yes, Phase lets me move through walls and such. And they cant see me. I could call them bad names out of nowhere, then phase through the wall.

It does span the entire pit. So it does protect them but... You do not know how strong/weak it is.

The entire group, including our DM, has my apologies for my inaction. School is rather intense at the moment so I have been unable to devote time to this game. This weekend will provide a welcome break from the rigors of coursework.

Probably, but I would think that he would place his shot carefully enough as to avoid being caught in the blast.

Ice is going to delay his action to let the heavy hitters through first (and not get in their way).

Edit: Also, we all go first, then they go, right?

Edit2: Ice asks a question that I'm not sure of OOC. Can the Force be used through ray/deflector shields? Example: If you're in a prison and the switch to turn the forcefield is on the other side of the forcefield, can you use the Force to fli the switch and turn off the shield?

1. Everyone gets to go.

2. The force's effectiveness depends on the plot. However, in this case, I think I'm going to have to say no, you can't use the Force in that way. The group initiative screws it up because obviously the King would like to react to the force user manipulating his levers. In a normal game, we would have kel turn the light bridge off but then maybe the King goes next and flips it back on, thus creating a more dynamic and interesting fight. With group initiative, Kel pulls the switch, everyone goes, then the king reacts. Not exactly the same level of fun there.

Of course, this fight isn't exactly fun either at the moment...

Gr...

Ok, you can use the force to move 1 lever. After your actions, the King has a 50/50 shot of yanking the lever back.

It was a hypothetical question in that Kel doesn't _have_ to flip the switch; if he can use the Force through the forcefield, tactically it'd make more sense just to thrash the enemies while the shield is up (so they can't get through it to get at us). That'll force the king to lower the shield to give his guys a chance, then everyone else can pepper them with blaster bolts once the shield drops. Later, we'll still be able to use the shield as a bridge without having to overload it.

Just a thought...
Edit: Hah, right, just like he did in the latest IC post :p That'll learn me to post without reading both threads first. :)

The barbaric cultists seem to be mindless, cannibalistic brutes but the so-called King has some form of power over them.

You cannot think of any relevant religions referencing a Sky Worm or a Dark Dragon. However, in many ways the Sith is a dark religion and at it's head is a man who has named himself after a Dragon.

Well, I can think of one "worm" that we're hoping is in the prison above.

Ditto that. I'm thinking he probably showed himself via holoprojector previously.

No... It's a lightsaber on the end of a long stick... Think Darth Maul's saber but where the blade only comes out of one end.
