Ok, I guess we're going with this system for now. So the PCs are up. Once everyone has taken an action I'll do the monks and post the rounds results and so on.

Radoslav, I was thinking somewhat along those lines too. If there are very distinct groups of baddies then we may break it down a little more than PCs vs. Enemies. But I think we'll save it only for the most important times as every division potentially slows the game down a little bit.

Lonhro, and others: Monk 1 and 4 are down from a sleep spell and 5 and 6 are down from a color spray. Monk 2 is gutted and Monk 7 has left the combat area for now. #3 is the only currently up and active opponent and he's currently getting the better of Radoslav.

So, if you (Lonhro) want to go for #4 you can Coup de Gras him if you'd like or you can move to and engage #3 who is in range of a move action.

Sorry for not making it clear who was effected by the sleep spell in the first combat round.

No prob I'll retarget to number 3 :)

Radoslav will be flanking and get the sneak attack damage so #3 is a goner. So Mellar and Mordred there will be no active monks when you choose your actions. The one down by spells are of course only down temporarily (the monks hit by color spray are unconscious for 2d4 rounds [which I rolled separately] and then stunned and blinded for 1d4 more so we are still in combat time for now).

Mellar: Are you able to see my other maps and pictures I've posted in the IC and other threads? They all are hosted at my personal smugmug photo page so they *should* all be being treated the same by whatever filters your work may be using. If not perhaps I did something different this time and I'll try to figure out what it is.

Anyone else having any problems?

Msg #45 is the last one I've got with a map in it :)

No.  Even the little images for the player blocks are blocked from me.  My work does not block a lot, but personal hosting sites are on the list. Don't fret none.

Things have gone pretty quiet....

I'm not sure who we are waiting for...

Waiting on me, my bad. Terribly sorry. Sorry, haven't been able to get into a good rhythm with my free time. I'll try and pick it up.

Damn. I just realized I had meant to make a post about something...potentially important. If you would rather not kill the baddies I don't see why you couldn't coup de grace for non-lethal damage. There helpless, so you get a free crit without a roll, so there's' no reason why you couldn't declare a non-lethal attack. I think the same rules would apply:

Critical Damage, Non-lethal. If the target does not fall unconscious they need to make a fort save of 10+damage dealt or fall unconscious.

I'm going to post the next turn as is and Mordred, if you would rather deal non lethal damage just let me know.

   With my alignment I would prefer doing that. Killing someone that is helpless does tend to be an evil act and I was quite worried it should have an effect on my alignment. I much prefer your solution. Thank you!

Doesn't matter to me, but I'd get to add non-lethal sneak attack damage!

Our paladin has not logged on, in 3 weeks, and hasn't made a post in a month.  Concerns?

I have the primary concern that I hope the person behind the paladin is ok. She seemed one of the most interested in the game from the very beginning and also seemed the type that if something made her decide she didn't like the game anymore she'd have said so before leaving.

As far as the game goes, I'd rather she were playing but the adventure calls for 4-6 players and can be scaled for more or less so the game can continue without her.

Does anyone know if its considered against the rules to send a player who has stopped logging in/posting rMail?

Nothing wrong with doing that at all. I would also send them a private message in-game. Sometimes people accidentally remove game from their sticky list, and if they have a dozen or more games going it's not always easy to pick up that one is missing.

Hey, uh...balls in your court everybody!

Sorry work and RL got in the way for a little bit.

Hey Mellar! House rule number 1:

1. You can all remove Use Rope from your skill lists.

:)

Don't worry about use rope rolls. Pretty much everyone gets to know how to tie really good knots.

Whoops, Sorry.

Any response from our paladin?  It's been a month now.

I'm afraid there's been no response to either the rMail or PM for our missing Paladin. I guess we continue to carry on without her.

Question for Lonhro, do you intend to check out the second collapsed room south of the closed doors? Or did you want to move into the room with the sleeping pallets and hornet nest? If you don't enter the room with the nest then there will be no danger of disturbing it.

Intending to steer clear of the hornet nest for the time being. Indeed, forever, unless necessity makes it so.

Nice Max damage Lonhro, that will help.
