I've been waiting for an excuse to play a summoner at full tilt...

If just to show my sister how much better they are then Evokers...

It would be appreciated if everyone forgets I'm using the Warlock class.

Oh ya I am the DM. I don't murder other PC's if I am a player unless its strictly necessary for IC reasons.

And also if he faces enough of them I hope I can send them against him without killing their entire party. >.> Or at least most of them. This time facing a summoner 3/4 of the party died and 1 got away!

@Hazuki: Ya Warlocks aren't the strongest but they are near the top for coolest class

^ Not sure.
I'm thinking Algrith, Imaran, and Tarmikos are either on their way out or about to run into resistance.

What if they don't rely on flanking to get sneak attacks? Or are of a high enough level to make Uncanny Dodge worthless? Or use weapons that don't use Poison? Or aren't rogues at all?

Good thing, too, because that guy looks less like he's making sure his body is ready and more making sure our bodies are ready.

If there were 100 level 11 rogues I think we would be doomed regardless

This.

Though, it would explain how the city guard fails so hard.

To be fair it would be quite justified on how they fail that hard. I don't think we could do much better.

And yes one of your characters did make it out. With 7 negative levels 2 HP and no spells left. Good Job!

100 Level 11 Rogues? If a Rogue wanted to sneak attack her, it wouldn't require everyone else to be at the same level, only that he himself be strong enough, and have a flanking buddy. I believe this was even demontrated in comic right here in the playground.

I'm pretty sure there's a different set of reasons for why the guard is so pathetic, though I'll keep my biting comments to myself.

..... God, that sounds painful.

Before I post, random question. Silva, any particular reason Kel's been calling Cruorin Curmion? Did he get his name changed somewhere down the line? Or would it be alright for Tarmikos to correct him on the name of the bounty?

The reason for that has been the fact that I can't spell very well >.> And for some reason I keep spelling it Curmion instead of Cruorin. Sec let me edit my posts.

I don't think so, as someone who runs as a hobby I know plenty of people that are very fast that are terrible at typing. Its a different type of speed.

Haste on the other hand totally would help

At the risk of setting up a horrible joke, it's all about being good with your fingers. Much different than the muscles required to control your body.

It probably would, but the closest I can get to being Hasted is being on stimulants, and I can't focus when I'm on any type of drug.

There are a small band of survivors, living on the outskirts of the URL. We've survived so far by eating smileys and italics, but it won't be long until they're gone too. There's a light at the end of the tunnel, but we've all been changed by our time separated from the civilized world. We're not the same people we used to be.
