Eoni Daflin:
She stood and looked towards the rest of the group for a head count.



Intentional, or accidental, pun?

Accidental and took a moment to catch it.  It is good, though.

I'll be AFK until Sunday, 13 Aug afternoon.

The mail might be something good! It did not rust and it is shiny.:)

 Chain mail is AC 5 being +1 it is 4,add a shield it becomes 3,and a +1 ring of protection the final AC is now 2

 Do I have my facts straight on the new AC for Marklin,GM?

New armor, new character pic. Considering Marklin's charisma, the pic is accurate.

I just remembered something. Props to Aldara for thinking of a Darkness spell cast on the Hydra. Well done!

I am confused...is the party's plan to head south from the Blackwater Causeway, toward Drellin's Ferry or north fromt he causeway toward Vraath's Keep?

For clarity's sake, the party did not travel along the Dawn Way to get to Jorr's cabin and the causeway. They followed a lesser used footpath through the forest, the Witch Trail.

North or South?

I say we go west!


But seriously, I think the idea is to travel north for say a handful of miles then set up an ambush on the road. If that does not bear fruit after a day,we head north again and repeat the process.

As a note, when someone makes a change to their post, it isn't flagged as new material for folks to look at.  So oftentimes, changes you make to earlier posts go unnoticed.

I don't understand. You are currently walking either on a dwarf-built road or alongside it in the woods.

Okay. I missed the road part - I was avoiding being chest deep in any muck again.

Also - I defer to the veteran members of the group. Either way is fine with me.

In reply to Kane Taerix (msg # 17):

Gonna burn all my spells, here, but I'm going to open with a sleep spell.  If anyone's left conscious after that, then I'm probably going to chuck an illusory fireball with phantasmal force.

Or does anyone have any better ideas as to what to do with that spell?  Another idea I had in mind was scared travellers, when we hear an approach.  Could distract them just long enough that we can get in a couple of cheap shots.  Maybe even get them to burn some ammunition!

Re: OOC: Table Talk 2

Taerix: I don't really stress too much about whether characters are in or out of armor while sleeping. Unless a player tells me otherwise, I assume your AC is pretty much always the same as it keeps things simpler without tacking on simulationist mechanics to otherwise abstract game mechanics.

I know it's not realistic and it takes several minutes, and help, to put heavy armor on in real life, but D&D is fantasy and I am fine with overlooking such details if it makes for a smoother game.

Hope that helps and ot doesn't mess too much with how you approach D&D...I know the verisimilitude vs. simulation vs. abstraction can be a hot button topic among gamers :)

Re: OOC: Table Talk 2

Marklins current Ac is 2 due to the +1 Chain Mail,and with Eonis spell in effect, it is 1 for the duration of the spell.

Re: OOC: Table Talk 2

Friendly reminder that players should be rolling their own attack and damage rolls, in addition to skill checks, spell effects rolls, etc.

You should have enough information in my posts to determine whether you hit or not, so please also describe results.

At any rate...I will roll these on your behalf if you forget, but I would prefer players take care of dice on their end.

Thanks!

Re: OOC: Table Talk 2

Hellhounds are about 4 1/2 feet tall and maybe 140 pounds or so. So, the size of a large mastiff.

Re: OOC: Table Talk 2

Have our bowman NPC's been beguiled in some fashion?  Perhaps confused by Eoni's attempts to direct their fire?

They didn't seem to attack this past round.  Eoni hoped they'd all fire at the closest hound.

Edit: PS. Love the hobgoblin tactics!  Smart bad guys trying to actually kill us!
