Stealth post removal effort...

[Tavar]

Vote time: in 1 day whichever vote is highest will be the method enacted:

1: Kool-aid man through door.
2:Passwall+BC spell.

I vote number 2.

[sonofzeal]

I vote #1 if Passwall can be cast spontaneously, and #2 if it's prepped. In the latter case we might as well use it, but in the former we can probably make a better use of our resources. The Kool-Aid maneuver is usually pretty effective in my experience - especially if one person opens the door while everyone else has ready actions to nuke through it.

The Passwall is at-will.

Hmm.

Only problem is, if they're archers and not alert, then Passwall+stew pretty much guarantees that any survivors will be dumping ready action alpha strikes on us when we do open the door. Of course it's possible they're alert and will do so anyway, but... *shrugs*

Your choice. You know the DM, and the campaign. I might be able to put a 15' cone or 30' line through the Passwall, but that's about it for me.

[Koury]

I vote open the door

[Diarmuid]

I vote opening the door.

Edit - Whatever we decide, I'm casting Protection from Evil on myself before whatever plan we use takes form.

[peterpaulrubens]

The lack of someone presenting a plan as to how to make them stew in hot death tells me we should go with the OH YEAH!!! method.

[Tavar]

Votes are in: the door should be opened. Diarmuid, as the current party tank, will you do the honors?

[Ernir]

Err, yeah. I was typing up the encounter, microslept hard enough to bang my head on the keyboard.
Sorry for the delay, I'll get it to you in less than 12 hours.

:examseason:

[peterpaulrubens]

Oh noes! Its not that important, get some sleep before posting encounters!

Also, keyboard takes (1d6)[6] damage from headbutt...

[Ernir]

Enemy initiative:
(16d20+80)[274]
Your initiative:
Mariah: (1d20)[3]
Gerrin: (1d20+2)[12]
Corretha: (1d20+2)[6]
Sern: (1d20+4)[11]
Tatsuhiro: (1d20+5)[21], (1d20+5)[7]
Fjodin: (1d20+1)[7]

[Ernir]

Failed the deadline. ;C

One crit confirm against Fjodin:
(1d20+10)[24] for (1d6+5)[7] extra fire damage.

[Diarmuid]

Knew I should have cast resist energy...

[Koury]

Whats the brown on the map?

Oh, right. Those are big fat wooden crates. They are cubical, meaning the 10' squares are really 10' cubes, and the 5' squares are really 5' cubes.

[Koury]

I'm glad I True Strike'd. I'd have not been happy with missing otherwise. Now lets hope my botched Knowledge roll doesn't mess it up.

[sonofzeal]

Initiative is invisible so you might be already doing this, and it's too late for this fight anyway, but I don't think I ever actually mentioned that my Draconic Aura is giving the whole party +2 initiative, not just me. Might be relevant in the future.

[Ernir]

Oh, and I forget. Those who take fire damage must succeed on a DC 15 reflex save or catch fire.

Yeah, about that... Trololo nat 1 for the monsterside.

Oh.
I didn't factor that in.

The initiative rolls are just a few posts up. It didn't matter with the difference being as big as it was this time, but yes, it's definitely something that can change things.

[Koury]

I reread the spell Orb of Fire and it just says "creatures struck by the spell take damage and must make a save vs Dazed."

So since the spell would technically strike them (even if its reduced to zero from resistance) they should still have to make the save for Daze.

If I'm right (aka you agree Ernir ), then I'll stick with Fire.

[Diarmuid]

Rolling for Granted Maneuvers

(1d5)[5]
(1d4)[4]
(1d3)[1]

[Tavar]

Okay, checked my AC and health. I'm down 19hp, bringing me to 45/64. Not too dire yet.

[Ernir]

[Ernir]

Holy hugepost batman.

Please kill some of them fast, there are way too many creatures on this battlefield!

Also, crit confirm against Fjodin: [roll]1d20+14[/rol] for (1d6)[3]+5 = 8 extra damage.

[Ernir]

I said roll! (1d20+14)[32]

[peterpaulrubens]

OHHHHHHH (^#*$^@#$, Black Tentacles is gonna be a problem. I think I can only get out of the grapple if a nat-20 gives me auto-success.

Resist tentacle grapple: (1d20+5)[15]


Edit: fail. Fjodin takes 4 damage from Shield Other.

[Ernir]

I assume the Haversack magic trumps a grapple?

Yes, it's possible to activate magic items in a grapple.

[Rausdower]

In the words of Demoman, "FREEDOM!!"

(1d20+11)[21]

And in the words of Engineer, "Nope."

HP - 55/91

[sonofzeal]

Grapple: (1d20+3)[19] target: 18
