Giving Zog and Sonliin until tonight (Eastern time/UTC -5) before rolling their initiative for them.

Note that I'm going to be a bit more aggressive about NPCing people now that I'm on a set schedule. If you don't post before the next posting date, I'll NPC you with at-will or reasonable actions.

Game ad authorized by the GM:

Welcome...to Zombie World!

Using a form of the Apocalypse world engine via cards of the recently released Kickstarter, one creates a character with semi-random past, present, and connections with others in the world ravaged by the hungry dead. Players will form an enclave, and help create the NPCs there along with connections with other survivors, PC or NPCS, and attempt to survive the long night of humanity. Be warned, death comes to those who make the wrong choices-no one is totally safe.

It sounds reasonable to me now that you have a fixed schedule. :)

@Gromley: good luck with your game. I have too much undergoing game to join but that looks interesting. :)

In reply to Darratheir Burnedbear (msg # 388):

Thanks!

:)

Aye, good luck with it! I don't do zombie games but it sounds like it could be fun :-)

Update from me later tonight after I get home from some busy stuff. Worst comes to worst I'll update in the morning instead.

I hadn't noticed that Agon has been AWOL since January 2. I'm going to check in on him.

Update from me in the morning.

Per Agon's roll, stat block for the ships:

Azharul Dominion Ships Level 28 Elite Artillery
Gargantuan natural animate (construct) XP 26,000 each
Initiative +24 Senses Perception +19
St. Elmo’s Fire (Lightning) aura 4; any creature that enters the
aura or starts its turn there takes 10 lightning damage. HP 394; Bloodied 197
AC 40; Fortitude 40, Reflex 42, Will 38
Immune thunder; immune poison, disease, psychic,
charm, fear (melee and ranged only; see Collective
Operation below) Saving Throws +2 Speed fly 10 (hover) Action Points 1
m Dragonborn Marines on Deck (minor 1/round, at-will) F Weapon
+33 vs. AC; 3d8 + 6 damage.
r Thunder-Echo Projectors (standard, at-will) F Thunder
Ranged 20/40; +35 vs. AC; 3d6 + 10 thunder damage. Effect: The thunder projector makes a secondary attack against every other creature within 5 squares of the primary target, originating the attack from the primary target: ranged 10; +33 vs. Reflex; 2d8 + 10 thunder damage.
Collective Operation
The dominion ship is operated by multiple dragonborn crew, and attacking or controlling them individually doesn’t hamper the ship. The ship is subject to close and area attacks normally, but ranged and melee attacks with the poison, disease, psychic, charm, or fear keywords don’t harm the dominion ship.
Crew Suppression
A creature adjacent to the dominion ship can spend a standard action to attack the visible crew members. They don’t fight back; such an “attack” automatically succeeds. It does no damage but leaves the dominion ship unable to make its melee attack (save ends). If the same creature performs the crew suppression attack three rounds in a row, the thunder-echo projectors are likewise unable to attack (save ends).
 Alignment Evil  Languages Draconic (crew)
STR 27 (+22)  DEX 30 (+24)  WIS 20 (+19)
CON 23 (+20)  INT 14 (+16)  CHA 22 (+20)

Does our fly speed come with Hover capability?

It doesn't say so in RAW, but I'm going to rule that it does. Each of you has a fly speed of 8 with Hover right now.

So does that mean they are up 20 squares?

I have moved Harald 8 squares but how does moving and gaining altitude work here?  Never used fly before.

It is after 2am here and I have a funeral tomorrow to go to so can't finish my move till later in the evening.

Yes.



We will assume that if your'e trying to engage, you moved up 8 squares and laterally (north-south) as far as you like up to 8 squares.



No problem! Sorry to hear of your loss.

I must say taking on an entire fleet of ships does feel very epic!

Getting this line of questioning settled: the ships count as one target for attacks and effects. That's not negotiable. Anything else makes this encounter a livid, Cthulhuesque nightmare for me.

Sorry for the delayed post! I forgot that I update this one on Wednesdays. :-)

If Gromley and Darratheir update, next post from me is tomorrow.

Yes, we did. Pete has a column in his status table that shows how many action points each of us has. You still have yours.

Zog is correct, Martha. Your current Action Point total is listed in the status table.

Giving Agon until tonight my time (GMT-5) to post before I NPC him.

Ugh, I mistyped the power and forgot to mention that the target can't stand until it saves (little details, little details).

I'm fine with whatever you think is right GM, either that effect doesn't happen, or it happens next round, or whatever.

That's an important detail :-) I'll revise my turn after you revise yours.

Updated!  Sorry about that.  Controllers, you know.

BAck to Ireland on Tuesday on family business again.  As with my last trip I found it difficult to get access to wifi.  I will do what I can but might be quite silent for a bit.  Due back online from home on Thursday 14th.

Enjoy your trip Harald. As for me, I'm two months (And a few days but that doesn't count) away from my travel to New York City. I'm excited!

I might be unable to post before tomorrow (Wednesday 6th). I will do my best to be able to post today.

No worries, Darratheir. I will wait until late Wednesday if needs be.

Note: I've adjusted Harald and Darratheir's damage taken by 10 hp each to reflect the fact that you were in the ships' aura. Small adjustment but not unimportant.

I will try to remember the aura going forward--I tend to forget about them. :-)

apologies, i cant post today and off to northern Ireland on weekend. gm do you mind npcing me this turn? just cast an at will radiant ranged power at the closest ship.
