Yeah, shame the party is letting the DMPC solo him....

Ignore these until everyone has gone, and before Natalia goes again...

Hey, Valen's the one who ran off in the opposite direction! At least Henry and Mithril can attempt to shoot at him? And Miriam can get at him in a turn. How much HP does Valen have anyway?

And those spot checks are ominous.

No, he did what had to be done, slow him down and keep him away from the squishies, otherwise he would be in the ranks and that is bad news.

And the spot rolls are just spot rolls.

Edit: Had Valen not crossed the party to hold that flank it would be Natalia, Mithril, and Henry to take him on in melee. Let me know which one of you can survive more than two rounds against him...

And I appreciate that, but don't blame us for not joining in in one round! If he can hold out just a bit longer we'll be fine!

Valen is likely to be on the ground if he gets hit again, a critical would be fatal.

Crap, speaking of which, the guy had a critical threat.


Critical Confirmation (d20)[8]
Damage(2d4)[3]

Whew...luckily he failed to confirm that. Unfortunatly I miscalculated his damage from the first strike....

Don't you know by now not to jinx it? How bad was this miscalculation? Enough for Miriam to run over and heal Valen instead?

Valen is at 8HP. That is bad.

On Average damage he will drop Valen to -11/-12... D. E. D. Ded

Maybe you should have Miriam scratch her action (it was made with bad knowledge after all) and heal Valen instead? She can get to him in one turn if she moves diagonally. Actually, no. She should definitely do that. Otherwise we're gonna have Henry as the new DMPC, and I like him better as an NPC.

Nope, action is posted and makes the most sense.

Natalia could just run over there and mix it up. She may be able to deal enough damage to put him down.

I agree. (Can't blame us, you were the one playing Miriam's action!)

ETA: Why does Miriam's action (healing Kurt) make the most sense?

Lol, because I didn't realize that I almost killed my DMPC.

And plus, taking 25 damage didn't leave Kurt in a very good position either.

I dunno...I mean, I can't full attack or even sneak attack; I'm only doing 1d6+1 damage. Rogues, especially TWF rogues, can do a scary amount of damage, but only when they can full attack and/or sneak attack. Really, Miriam would heal the one who's most hurt, and that's Valen.

Difference was Kurt with 10HP, Valen with 8HP. Valen was more likely to survive thanks to his AC. Kurt is a giant target who will likely be hit if attacked.

Not so obvious of a choice.

Hm...Mithril and Henry fire their crossbows and hope they get lucky? Maybe Natalia can draw fire onto herself...Kurt's just gonna smash like always. Not that that's a problem.

Heheheh, tonight is going to be fun.

Say, Admiral, you went to Harvard undergraduate and are a grad student at Princeton, right? Which one do you prefer?

In any case, I'll be going in about an hour, but let's finish this before someone dies.

I don't think it makes much sense to compare schools in that way, especially since the experiences of an undergraduate and a graduate student are so different. Any comparisons I could make would have to be on the most superficial level. (Which is in a more fun city? Harvard. Which has prettier architecture? Princeton).

Graduate school in particular isn't well suited to school-by-school comparisons. You choose a school based on the labs and researchers that are there.

FWIW, I'm back visiting Harvard right now (for the Harvard/Yale game tomorrow!)

I was wondering which atmosphere you preferred, etcetera. I guess I'll be more qualified to answer that question a few years, especially if I'm fortunate enough to stay here and go to Cornell vet school! I guess you're right with that comparison though.

FWIW, HARVARD SUCKS!

Well, you roll for Henry and Admiral already said that Shiny was going to color spray the veteran, so...

I should have given him Morton's +1 longsword. I should have done that, maybe that would have hit.
