So should I wait until after Judit's turn to have Niko tell the others what he remembers about the creature, or will it be alright for me to post out of turn for that particular free action?

DAMNIT What is with me and rolling 13s to hit???
What's even more annoying is that I've rolled maximum damage on both attacks!
Which of course counts for nothing. I feel unlucky.

If you weren't rolling 13s I'd totally disagree with you.

Nah, I'd be amazed if you got the same thing 3 times in a row, so why try that again next time with the same statistics on the next round?
You'll get it next time, I know it.[/opinion]

Maybe you'll get bonus if Stinky manages to use his trick to distract the creature.

Hmm catching it flat footed.... that might work actually, I hope this will be the case.

So, just need to wait for Judit (AugustusGloop whose most recent in character post was 3 days ago), Lyta (Needle whose most recent in character post was 22 days ago), and Gurlin (Prince Zahn whose most recent in character post was 5 days ago).

In the interests of keeping to at least one post per day, I have to say that I am still a bit amazed at how much damage Niko managed to do with his attack. Just one point short of the highest damage he could do without a critical. And if Judit doesn't land his hit, Niko will have done half of the round's damage to the bug (though that does assume that no one qualifies for any bonuses for good attack descriptions).

AC is 14 so a 17 is indeed a hit. Feel free to describe specific effects.

So, it's a new turn already or it was just beast's action (in other words, is it my move again)?

Judit didn't take his turn.

I'm hoping that a mending spell will work well enough in fixing up Niko's book. He will be hoping so too once the adrenaline wears off and he gets over the shock of his book's current condition. Niko will want the bug tied up and healed so that the book-destroyingmurdering caterpillar will be alive and conscious while Niko dissects it (he does have a chaotic neutral alignment).

Folks, I apologize. We lost power at the house for the last few days, and since I was on vacation I didn't come into the office to post. Now that I'm back, I'm playing catch-up on my work. I'll do my best to get in, but please DM PC me as you like until I can check in, hopefully tomorrow. I'll be fine with whatever happens.

Right now? I think we're waiting for Man on Fire to be ready, I mean, an initiative order is still an initiative order.
Though I'm not sure when Judit will take his turn, Even though it was not controllable I just assumed the last round counted as a delayed action, though might that change the turn order...?
It's all a question mark from my perspective.

No round synopsis means the second round is still on, and Stinky has already acted during this round, right?

Okay, Judit fires his crossbow, again.

Attack (+2, -4 close combat)(1d20-2)[5]
Damage(1d8)[3]

Sorry, the last couple of days have been hectic - to make an understatement.

Right here:

No damage to players, monster got a lot:
Ceraphina, 8 damage,
Niko 10 damage + hit to the poison gland
Chaff 2 damage
All in all 20 damage + 4 damage from previous round, for a total of 24. It's looking mighty weak.

If Niko's moment of nerd rage isn't stopped, there's a chance that the bug may become unsuitable for eating. Especially because Niko's dagger was plunged into a poison gland (although the others may not know that yet). Then again, maybe some of you would rather read about Niko screaming "LET'S SEE HOW YOU LIKE IT WHEN SOMEONE BITES SOMETHING OF YOURS!"

Considering what you're saying, the Caterpillar's probably getting the last laugh.
Even though we probably wouldn't know because of insect anatomy, he may as well have died smiling...

I wonder if Niko's going to turn out to be wrong. Plenty of possibilities for how he could be wrong.

Edit: He seems to be ill-informed about how darkvision works for one thing.

Just so we're clear, how many of us actually think we should eat the caterpillar?
I mean, is this unreasonable, or is it simply all inspired by survivalist shows?

Ceraphina's right, though. With days-worth of rations and the possibility to go back up before we starve, I don't think we're that desperate to be eating worms, not even fried ones. >~<

Well, Niko's opinion of rations is much like Dave Lister's opinion of pot noodles in the show Red Dwarf. Niko would be willing to put the bug into his mouth before the rations, but that probably won't happen until he goes a day or two without food.

Chappe just likes cooking and eating new things.
Though if asked he'll just say that it's to preserve what rations they have.
If they don't start saving now every little bit could eventually catch up.
