I am assuming you put the torch about thirty feet in front of the wall. The skeletons are at about sixty feet out, the imp and zombies at seventy.

I also assumed the remainder of the party is about level with the torch, and are closer, though off to the side in the shadows. For them about fifty feet to the skeletons, and sixty to the rest.

The forward most goblins are still on the far side of the torch, and about forty feet from the wall.

I am not sure about the range.  Something makes me think 30 feet.

The DMG says 3-12 rounds (page 76 of my version, in the text following the Turn Undead Table, for those playing along at home).

Reviewing the books, and they seem unclear. I would say that any undead within the range of your voice seems fair, sixty feet? The number affected are int he chart though, and you would impact the lowest hit dice first, then within that, those closest to you first.

The DMG gives the odd range of 3 - 12 rounds as the duration. So... a d10+2 rounds I guess?

3d4 is fine.

If you reread the description, you know that not all of them have cone into the light, and there are two unusual skeletons in the mix.

Re: Tam, I don't think that is quite what it means. As I understand it, if you turn some, but not all of the creatures in a category, if you roll and turn the maximum number possible, you can try again the next round to get more of that same type, only.

.y belief is that a cleric (or paladin) may turn undead that are within their capability and that they have not already failed to turn. The number tuned (or failed to turn) is 3d4. I don't recall if that is 3d4 creatures or 3d4 HD of creatures. If they return after being turned, I'm pretty sure they can be turned again. Hope that helps. :)

I didn't read it as requiring you to turn the maximum number (i.e., roll 12) to try again.  I'm looking at page 65, which is some distance from the table.

But of course, all of this is academic: however you interpret it is the rule.

We always played that you could attempt to turn once per turn, i.e. every ten rounds. I never used the 'try again if you max out' rule, but I have nothing against it. The book itself says this should be a rare occurrence, and I think success followed by a max roll qualifies.

Re: OOC 2

Read all the 1e Turning In PHB & DMG and RAW seems pretty clear although poorly laid out..

For a given cleric, fail to turn (the lowest undead type) and that's it for the encounter.
Successfull turning (lowest undead first) affects 2d6 of them "...to the limit of the number rolled..."(p65) and "...may continue so long as each successive attemp is successful..."(p65).
Turned undead move away as fast as possible for 3-12 rounds...and can be turned again upon their return.(p76)

Also, as is, all goblins are staying where they were last told to be. Not sure if anyone wants to adjust their positions.

Generally whenever I make an assumption it bites me in the posterior sooner or later.

Quick query - in the absense of the map Krusk was going for a zombie (as longsword isn't half damage v them), so whould he be able to reach and hack a zombie without incurring opportunity attacks?

Re: OOC 2

Tam Albren:
Tam shakes his head as he readies his sling.."Can't," ...


I think this may be relevant, RAW:
AD&D 1e DMG, p65, col 2: "...if the cleric attempting the turning is successful against any or all types within the group.." [Tam was successful] "..of multiple forms of undead, that type or multiple types, to the maximum number indicated by the dice roll.." [The word 'roll' is critical here: meaning the result of rolling the dice, (Tam got 5), not the maximum number possible on the dice, which, in passing, are usually 2d6, not 1d12] "..or othrwise indicated by the rules,.." [would be the extra 2d4 turned at high clerical levels] "..are turrned, and on the nxt round the cleric so successful may attempt to turn other undead of the group. This process may continue as long as each successive attempt is successful and the cleric lives."

I believe we have been in error in applying this and it lead us to think no turning could be repeated unless 12 was rolled as the number turned and therefore Tam thought he couldn't turn again. I'd urge re-reading this taking note of "number rolled" and not "max number possible to roll" and then let Tam try turning again this round instead of slinging.

That's my two cents. I really do think this has an immense impact.
Limiting the possibility of repeat turning to 2.7% of the time (as opposed to RAW 100%) makes undead up to 30x more powerful, (in reality probably only 10x more powerful).

Re: OOC 2

I feel that the key point in that passage is that it is supposed to be a rare occurrence. Success meaning roll again every time would certainly not be rare.

I am going to continue with my interpretation, you need the max to go again, and additional rolls only impact the highest level of undead turned originally.

I really feel your alternate reading would be way too powerful, and make using low level undead as foes nearly pointless.

The phrase "..to the maximum number indicated by the dice roll" is unambigous. It's the number rolled. It's simply saying as long as the turning was successfukl and there are undead left the cleric may keep attempting to turn.

But yes, I understand, it's whatever the GM says.

Does Tam think that if he continues toward Zagyg and Krusk, he will be able to see them from ambient light?

I assumed he could because Zagyg is out there fighting, so he must be able to see -- but Tam is at the point where he could assess that out for himself . . . maybe?

Re: OOC 2

Apparently a 1e torch sheds light on 40' radiuus. (PHB p102 or 103). DMG just points at PHB.
I'd guess that the circle shown in the Game map is bright light and a dim light extends for twice that diameter.
Certainly IMO the size of the lettering (which would corrspond to a 5' square (or hex) is in line with that interpretation.

***
Geerk-note:
If I recall correctly, the use of bright and dim light wasn't a thing until later editions but many DMs roll it backwards e.g.to 1e.

If it makes you feel any better, I am using the dimness for atmosphere, and it has no actual impact on anyone's ability to hit anything. It also warns that the real darkness is near.

From his current position, he knows where they are, but there is so much going on between the two he would struggle to know which is which. As he gets closer, especially close enough to cast a heal, it will be more clear, assuming no further change in circumstance.

As I interpret the map, there is no way for Tam to make contact with Krusk or Zagyg.

So as to not delay, I will post an action on that assumption.  But if that assumption is incorrect, Tam would try to heal Krusk.

There were a lot of foes. Even at L2 this may have been tough.
Conversely, we do have 12 allies.

One of the keys of something this tough is action economy, e.g. sling and blunt on the skeletons, slashing or piercing on zombies.

@ DoW - Assuming Zagyg's blow doesn't end the zombie, can Krusk step back to cast a CLW without invoking a free attack from the zombie and still cast CLW in the same round?

Just a little early explanation.

This game is marked mature, but not adult. Obviously this temple will be on the edge of that line, but we will stay on the mature side of things.

Assuming none of you push the boundaries and offend the members of the temple, you will all be welcome, but there will be a certain value in partaking of their practices. This will not be mandatory but those of you who 'share in the gift' will have access to more of the temple, and of course earn their favor.

If anyone agrees, there will be no descriptions, it will all be 'fade to black' pg style action.

Any questions or concerns?

Your game isn't forgetable at all, just I have a frequently poor memory. I was covering for my failings, not any refelection on you intended at all. Sorry if it seemed so.

Plus, time moves so much faster in RL than in the game.  It's a little like when you're a fan of a series on TV or in movies, and when the next one comes out you sometimes need a recap of the prior season.

True, I clearly have unrealistic expectations I guess. I do occasionally get players who can spout me old game lore though, and it always makes me happy. I know I'm no Tolkien but it is fun when it happens.

Annie did, but OOC felt like I had two inquires directed at her: One from the person wanting to send me to the kids' table, and Birahu.

I didn't know what order they came in, and I wanted to resolve the opportunity to test our limits in this place while I had the temple-person's attention.

Annie'll apologize to Birahu for not responding immediately IC once she ascertains how "free" they really are in this place. :)

Go to the temple. See if there's anything to learn there. Check out the library. Check out Birahu in case the book has a bad influence on him.

Please be aware, a lot of how I determine experience points is based on role-play. Times like these are a ripe opportunity for such activity. and how much (or how little) you earn can really vary based on how well you do so.
