Yeah, I started this game long ago. There have been some idle time, so I'd say it's more likely 15 years.

As for the list of books, it's really not listed. I have most of the books either in hardback, or on pdf. Just tell me what you want to use, so I can look it up to refresh my memory.

Okay, thanks. I'm like you, I have all of the important books in HB, but I have everything in pdf. I was trying to find something that we could use to summon earth elementals. I have the earth domain. There aren't any really suitable PrC for dwarven clerics sadly.

Yuppers - certainly the game running the longest that I've been in :)

OK Folks...updating now..

Well, if Sir Tomas had said that out loud, Lysande might just switch his position with Feff's...

There will be more spiders, there seems to be an unlimited number of them available. So, we should figure out how to deal with that 'long term', since it will only deplete our resources. What about the kegs with explosives? One option could be to block the tunnel, the other to use them like grenades Feff can chuck into the midst of the spider masses.

Lysande is not quite useful, she still has a few tricks up her sleeve but they are not endless. She could try to sneak ahead, having a feat that negates the spiders' tremor sense is neat, add in Invisibility and Silence... :D

I did give you guys a "Hint" that something big was coming....

Yep, and we'll deal. I figured Baldric and I could take care of one big thing while the rest took care of the horde.

That may have been a miscalculation, but we'll adapt quickly enough.

Sour Thomas?

Am I going to be getting another summons from Human Resources? :)

*laughs*   sorry, auto correct got me again

Sour Tomas! *Laughs*

Sour Tomas! LOL

That was NOT Freudian, I swear!!

I've had far worse auto-corrects :)

Thank the gods for invisibility and a wand of transpositioning... :P

Considered various options, switching Kilari with Feff would leave her directly in the spiders' line of attack, similar with Dain or Murshida. Sending her to Sir Tomas position would only make the umber hulks turn around, the same with Lysande's position. Hope that is ok for everyone.

Whatever happens, we'll adapt :) That's part of the fun of a game - getting thrown into odd situations and finding a way out (hopefully)

Um... Feff, you should be in H11 now, I believe you can reach the umber hulks directly. Which means you ought to get a full round of attacks...

Feff's initiative is 20 and Lysande's is 16.

Thanks.

So, Lysande doesn't even get a save or dex check to avoid the umber hulk? After all it is not a targeted trample attack. Normally people just move aside by reflex, right?

BB probably rolled for you to save time. I think this situation might fall under the House Rule #5 area in the Character Generation thread.

Yes, that is correct. There are times where I have to roll saving throws based off the actions of the round. It's done to save time. If everyone wants, you can roll a d20 20 times and give them to me in a PM and I can use those results for future saves?

I'm happy to have you roll when the need arises.

One, if you can't trust the GM, there's no point in playing.

Two, rolling for yourself is only an illusion of control given how much the dice roller hates us.

Three, stopping the game for a subset of people to roll dice can add days of waiting.

So, again, I'm happy to just let the GM take care of the ad hoc dice rolls that spring up randomly.

I'd rather have the DM roll rather than have 20 rools out there giving me anxiety.  :)

It's not about trusting the GM, it's about myself being the only one to blame for my misfortune (and the dice roller). Besides: Just because I trust the GM doesn't mean he might overlook/forget something. I know I do all the time. And given that Feff was posting after me but acting before me is slowing the combat round down, since now I'll be waiting for everyone acting before me, before I can consider my options. *shrugs*

That's just me being protective of my character ;)

I understand, Lysande. Feff only did what was asked of him. You had a good idea and it still technically happened. You can look at it this way: you falling prone from the Umberhulk running you over probably saved you from the Mind Flayer's Mind Blast attack.
