In reply to Ignatz (msg # 78):

Should I have moved up and to the right one for the 2 minion kills?  Or am I positioned ok considering your move ignatz?

No if you change your move you can get that extra kill

I think you killed one to the south and charged up but missed.  I can move 5 to either slot and kill two on the cleave.  I put red x's in there to show targets that are dead so the DM can remove when it's verified.

That's correct Mal! I was a little terse earlier cause I don't have much time to post at work haha. The red x is a good idea, I'll do that next time instead of just removing a token

In reply to Ignatz (msg # 82):

No worries.  I also have a hard time posting at work.  Mainly do OOC from my phone which is awful.

My sheet is finally up. Let me know if I'm free to jump in and start telling people to attack :)

Jump in anyway and tweak it on the fly!

Can Malph reach the enemy with a Melee attack?

Rpol is working again at last (for me). I'll get to the thread and post in case someone decides to hack again, or whatever it was. Also, it seems the comment I left on the google map totally shifted it, so I won't do that again if the host/servers/whatever is compromised again. I'm pretty sure I've repositioned the base map in the right spot.

Anybody have an opinion on the Free action order of operations question I posed?

Mal I hope you don't mind but I tweaked the map a little bit to reflect what I believe you wanted to happen. The enemy with the yellow outline, to whom Ignatz is adjacent, is the Ruffian and not one of the Thug minions. I moved your token one square over to a space where you'd be adjacent to two minions when you used Cleave, and moved the red X to cover the other one you'd have killed there.

Oh and Saskan, Mal is not adjacent to any living enemies, but Ignatz is adjacent to the Ruffian! My basic melee attack is +7 to hit, 2d6+4 (rerolling 1s).

I'm not sure what that was, I looked up and couldn't find anything. Could you pose it again please? :)

Also, if you posted the comment to see if the map moved, it did not at all. But when I posted a comment it seemed to shift the map over. though, it may have been a coincidental post with someone else moving it I guess. Damned technology :)

This is the one! :) And yeah that was me who posted that comment.

I have an idea, process-wise, that I thought I'd throw out there. Given that DM is running combats with an us-then-them, us-then-them routine, is there any reason we need to do initiatives between ourselves? Is there any reason that we can't just run our side of combat (the good guys' side) in the order that we post? It would make things humungously easier for both us and the DM.

Does that sound feasible, and useful? Just seems like if someone now rolls a 23 init here it could destroy virtually every attack made by everyone who has already posted, unnecessarily complicating things. And you just know that's going to happen now I've mentioned it.

Any thoughts on that?

I think that's an excellent way to handle things personally- we'll see how our DM does it.

Btw Kbenjar I think the enemy next to Ignatz is not a minion.

I reckon to easy things, I will color coordinate things - basically give an edge as now(yellow) to minions, red for Ruffians and blue for the mercenary for instance, and reflect that color on the table if you would.

This will allow you to gain a better overview in combat with many enemies.
Also the initiative bit sounds fair tbh - ignore the rolls, I will basically run my actions last.

Ignatz:


Or the lengthy bit here:

Spoiler text: (Highlight or hover over the text to view)
Free Actions Page 267: Replace the “Free Actions” bullet in the “The Main Action Types” section with the following text.
This update limits the power of builds that capitalize on recursive attack power combinations.
✦ Free Action: Free actions take almost no time or effort.
You can take as many free actions as you want during your or another combatant’s turn.
There is an exception to that rule: A creature can take a free action to use an attack power only once per turn.
Creatures don’t normally have attack powers that can be used as free actions, but some powers and other effects grant the ability to use an attack power (usually a basic attack) as a free action. For example, a character might have two different abilities that let him or her make a melee basic attack as a free action when their respective triggers occur.
If both abilities are triggered on the same turn, the character can make only one of the melee basic attacks during that turn. In certain circumstances, the DM might decide to limit the use of free actions further. For instance, if an adventurer has already used free actions during a particular turn to talk, drop things, and use a class feature, the DM might rule that the adventurer can use no more free actions during that turn.

So in short, on per turn. Your choice.

Ok, The green bordered men er not minions so I have rolled damage for you to keep the game moving. In the future I will make it more clear which enemy is which(if push comes to show, I will place a small 'M' on minions).

Ignatz, you appear to be almost adjacent to an enemy but not quite, so I am going to try and have Malph kill Ruffian 2 instead. Believe me I'll be throwing you into the fray as much as possible :)

Malph what dragonbreath element did you choose?

Wow - Warfryn - the dice gods are not with ye today!

In reply to Storyteller (msg # 96):

Looks like in need to roll some damage since wasn't attacking minions.  Give me about an hour ton drive into work.

Sure deal. Also roll for the attack granted as a free action by our warlord please!

Story of my life.  The rpol dicebot HATES me!!!

Gotcha, thanks for the ruling, Storyteller! :) I think now that we have the minion-labeling thing sorted future turns are going to proceed much more smoothly haha.

Working on it now.  Given the enlightening of which foes are what, there's going to be a slight change to power usage and stuff.

Alright, I'm sorted out.

In the google doc comments, kbenjar posted the turn he wants to take. I think that might kill one of the Ruffians (how are you getting +12 damage???) so I want to wait for him or the Storyteller to roll his attacks before I post my turn.
