>>3448
The first thing I'll do with a primordial is destroy Mithral Hall, time travel five minutes to the past, destroy it again, repeat until I reach this moment etc.

We ask gourmet for help?

>>3451
With what?

>>3452
uber diplomacy etc

>>3453
I think we should go.

>>3455
We'll be back later.

>>3456
Well, I wonder.

>>3456
Next time we come everyone's ded etc

>horse is too big
Right. Should have figured that out.

>very obvious warmongering
>inciting a war
>war
>war
>freaking WAR
Torinn is so mad right now he can't even speak. Somebody else go first so he can cool down.

Knowing the truth is useless, all useless.

>>3472
>orc did it, so clearly all orcs are bad
>let's go to war with them
Way to play into the culprit's plan.

>>3473
It can't be helped if SOMEONE won't let us investigate!

>>3474
Yeah, that dwarf lady sure was mean.

>>3475

>>2860
>>2867
>>3168
>>3266
>>3429
>>3450

>>3476
You already had time to investigate. Why you didn't is beyond me.

>>3477
Why would I go against someone with 18 cha etc.

>>3478
If I was that influential, you'd still be lawful neutral.

>>3479
If you did carry such an influence, we would have the same situation we have right now.

>>3480
Or I could just have asked them to let us through. Except they were kind of worried about our safety and we'd never have learned about these new developments.

>>3481
You should abuse of diplomacy etc

>>3482
Next time we go to buy stuff and they charge more than a certain amount over the expected price, you can bet I'm haggling.

>>3483
Why would they get angry with us? Diplomacy is supposed to make the person agree with you.

Alright, both missions seems interesting, although going to the Shadowfell, sounds amazing.

So our options are to go to some warded tower under the city on a hunch that something could be found there, or head behind enemy lines to track down the Fell King the direct way and take the fight to him.

Do you even need to ask which one Torinn favors?

>>3495
Torinn? He should stay in the palace and protect everyone etc

>Rush into hostile territory without any information about the enemy in hopes of a bloody victory through what may or may not be sufficient brute force, all the while alerting the enemy to our presence

>Explore a powerful wizard's tower housing vast, forgotten knowledge to obtain a tool with which to scry upon the enemy without being discovered

>>3497
The thing is, they are going to do both of them.
And the fell king surely knows we are after him, being ultra powerful don't make you extra stupid.

>>3498
Yes, they'll do both. However, my neutral alignment says to put the party's safety etc before other stuff.

>>3499
Indeed, so we are 1 -1 right now.

>>3500
You favor going to the shadowfell, don't you?

Hmm, on the other hand, being far away from the city could be exactly what they want. And if they really do deploy everybody from the Flaming Fist, then nobody's going to be left to defend it.

>>3502
Considering our levels and the guards levels being too far away won't make a lot of difference, assassination attempts will probably continue no matter what we do.

I changed my mind, let's go to the tower.

>>3504
Seen the light etc.

tower sound good to me

Not that I'm swinging one way or the other, but I'll just say that it's not really going to matter for Baldur's Gate whether you are at the tower or in the Shadowfell, it'll be equally "vulnerable" either way. With that said, not ALL of the Flaming Fist is going to be out on assignment, some will still be in the city.

>>3507
I re-revise to go to the front lines, then. It's a dragonborn honor thing.

List of things before go out again:

Buy OP equip
Go find Thelkra
Return to the flaming fist and apologize
Get info of the Tower.

Considering that it'd be pretty hard for a horse to climb up a tower, I'll hold off on barding. But what to get in the meantime?

So anyways, I'm gonna make this official now. When you guys level up, you can select a theme to add to your character. You should probably make it tie into the idea of your character somehow. You can choose one of the dragon themes or the dark sun themes, but not the new Iron Wolf theme (we really don't need to give PCs more reasons to charge).

You'll also be receiving a free expertise feat.

On a related note, where are you going when you leave the palace? I'll need to know that soon~

I'm interesed in visiting the flaming fist, if we are still welcome there.

Definitely going Chevalier. I like everything about it.

Daily power will be Chilling Smite for good damage and damage penalties on a foe.

Expertise feat will be Heavy Blade Expertise for moving around unphased by OAs.

Don't have the articles with me, though, so can't update character sheet until then.

more new themes? What?

About the daily, should I get a striker daily? or a flexible daily?

Two-Wolf Pounce Ranger Attack 5

Daily ✦ Martial, Weapon
Standard Action Melee weapon
Requirement: You must be wielding two melee weapons.
Special: You can shift 2 squares before making this attack.
Primary Target: One creature
Attack: Strength vs. AC, two attacks (main weapon and offhand
weapon)
Hit: 2[W] + Strength modifier damage (main weapon) and
1[W] + Strength modifier damage (off-hand weapon).
Effect: After attacking the primary target, you can shift 2
squares and make a secondary attack.
Secondary Target: One creature other than the primary
target
Secondary Attack: Strength vs. AC (off-hand weapon)

Frenzied Skirmish

Daily ✦ Martial,Weapon
Standard Action Melee weapon
Requirement: You must be wielding two melee weapons.
Targets: One or two creatures
Attack: Strength vs. AC (main weapon and off-hand weapon),
two attacks
Special: Before or after these attacks, you can move your
speed without provoking opportunity attacks.
Hit: 1[W] + Strength modifier damage per attack. If an
attack hits, the target is dazed until the end of your next
turn. If both attacks hit the same target, it is dazed and
slowed until the end of your next turn.

>>3518
Frenzied Skirmish looks good.

>>3519
The daze is good, but you can already daze twice per encounter, so I was thinking maybe getting more damage would be better.

Also, how about another free attack?

Wounded Beast
Daily Healing, Martial, Weapon
Standard Action (Special) Melee weapon
Target: One creature
Attack: Strength vs. AC
Hit: 3[W) + Strength modifier damage.
Miss: Half damage.
Effect: You can spend a healing surge.
Special: You can use this power as an immediate reaction when an enemy adjacent to you bloodies you or scores a
critical hit against you.

>>3520
Well check the guide and see what appeals to you.

Alright, I downloaded the .rar with CBLoader version 1.2.3. How do I install this thing if I already have an older version of CBLoader and all that

Overwrite the old files, delete the cutom files, download the index file, and run the program a couple times so everything unpacks and updates.

Is the witch coming back etc.

>>3524
You mean lili?

>>3525
ne

what was the reward we got last, I hadn't been keeping track on my character sheet and stuff I think.

>>3527
The 640gp of residuum?

>>3256

>>3528
Thanks. There wasn't anything before that which i forgot to note down I think..?

>>3526
She said she will have more free time now.
Rin should talk with her etc

Hmm, I don't see any of the new themes after all the stuff from the character builder was done with that rar and starting it up.

>>3531
The command prompt thing seems to update the custom folder if you have wotc.index in it, but while updating, it also loads the version of character builder without the new updates.

Maybe wait for it to finish, then reload?

>>3532
I dunno if I even have WOTC index thing, but the command prompt thing did a bit of updating before starting up, and now it just starts up and whatnot after it was finished.

Oh, wait, I see the index thing on that page now. Let me try that.

Alright, It got done I think. Now I started back up and it's merging stuff again with the command prompt or whatever.

Yay. Got it to work. Not sure what Theme I may want though. Maybe Templar or Gladiator. Was thinking about Noble, but not enough benefits really. It fits my character, yes, but the main benefit is mostly that free level 6 magic armor, weapon, or neck item at level 5. (and the one power near level 10 I think.)

and for our free level 5 feat which is expertise, is Master At Arms or Armor Proficiency considered that, out of curiosity

>>3537
Master at arms is it, but armor proficiency? I dunno.

Hey rin, this is an error most likely, but 100 PP=10k Gold

I'm trying to install the character builder thing as well, but got stuck on step 4, characterbuilderupdater.exe does nothing.

>>3540
disregard this I am helping anon

>>3539
shhh

>>3542

>>3543
>>3544

>>3545
>minna-san! now we can buy glorious fly-kun for everyone ne!

Hmm.

>>3547
Weren't you buying armor?

>>3548
Who knows how much time until our next time to buy stuff, you should use it etc.

>>3542
It's not like I was going to let anyone spend 10k gold.

What is eligible for our free level 5 feat

>>3551
Expertize feats from essentials.
In the new fancy books you can find a section in feats called "expertize feats" or something.

>>3552
Yeah, but I was wondering if that includes stuff like master at arms, or if we can choose armor specializations

>>3554
It's in the house rules thread. No armor specialization feats or the like, but any expertise feat (including Master-at-Arms or my houserule feats) will do.

what do you mean my mythweavers username/password is wrong?

Where to go now? Check flaming fist y/n?

>>3548
I have enough money for both and then some.

>>3561
bing-bong

>>3562
Is that a loser flag?

Alright Rin, in case I don't get to contact you before I go to sleep/go to work, here's possibly what I have in store for my character, just running by that it's okay.

Feat:Heavy Blade thingy from HOTFK
Theme:Noble, get Magic Chainmail +2 from the level 5 feature, upgrade that to Dwarven Armor +2 (maybe disenchanting my old dwarven armor or trading it in, and using my gold/residdium to upgrade the said magic armor. Which should be about 800 gold in reagents.)

>>3565
That's all right, as long as you can justify your character being a noble. Also keep in mind that this item is supposed to be a priceless heirloom from your noble lineage that you'll be expected to return home with, so I'm not sure if a set of Magic Chainmail +2 is appropriate (you'll probably want to take scale proficiency eventually).

So, Sureiya is the MC and everyone else is gray background character? Fine by me~

Advance warning that I may not be able to post at all today as far as the afternoon/evening goes, but we'll see.

Nvrnsqr words. Let's see if I remember Sariel's password.

By the way Lili, there's a character builder and stuff which makes everything a lot easier if you want that.

>>3575
Hmm... sounds useful. Link?

>>3576
Actually, it's the .rar in the first post of this thread I think. Rin has it up to date I believe but if there's any more questions you can ask here I'm sure!

So the Fell King has a puppet in Many-Arrows, huh. Or is he manipulating some random clan(s)?

Updated sheet based on when/if I get the magic scale armor +2 (and then Dwarven Scale Armor +2)

At this point, I should probably ask if you guys are headed to the Arcanimus, the Flaming Fist, or if you're splitting up or what?

>>3581
Arcanimus for me I guesss

Arcanimus for lady who thinks I'm a stepp

>>3582
Arcanimus, since I need to slave lili etc

Arcanimus I guess, and after finding out the amount of materials our items will take, we would need to somehow convert our money into arcane reagents.

>>3585
Are these more expensive than they value in gold?

>>3586
Probably; there seems to be a markup.

Almost done with the character builder~

>>3588
Mine failed horribly

>>3589
No problems for me!

http://boonce.org/up/Sarieru.png
Save as .zip, ???, magic.

>>3591
Convenient etc.

>>3590
uwa, magic
>>3592
Astaroth should continue this part etc.

How much for Impenetrable Barding and Strikebacks? (the lower level version, rather)

Hm, a moment, I am confused. Is Sariel rejoining us? In which case, I probably shouldn't control her character right now... I'll hold off on a response for a time.

>>3602
Yeah, she mentioned it in teaparty a few days ago ne~

... It's quite okay. I'll just read along instead. It's just as fun. My timezone doesn't mesh well either way.

>>3604
Oh well

>>3605
Best solution, right?

>>3604
>>3606
I-if that's what you want!

>>3607
I can't go around pulling all-nighters and you guys look like you're progressing at a good pace. It's not like I'm actually sad you missed me saying it and felt glum because you were totally ignoring me.

>>3608
I did see you discussing the character builder with the others, but I didn't want to jump to conclusions...

>>3609
I was exaggerating, exaggerating. You didn't plan for it, and I don't want to ruin that by just barging in as I please.

It's fun to read anyway, so no tears shed either way.

>>3610
Being flexible is necessary for a DM, so you don't have to worry about "messing up my plans." I mean, I kept Sariel around for the chance that you'd come back. I-it's up to you, really.

>>3611
I guarantee it. It's fun to read.

>>/teaparty/18266

>>3616
I don't see anything there, there is no post 18266.

>>3618
People should really stop linking to posts that don't exist, huh!

>>3619
Knowing Voyager she has a screenshot.

My mistake.

>>3620
No screenshot, ne.

>>3620
Impossible, you can't screenshot what doesn't exist.

>>3622
Sou ne.

>>3611
I was hoping having Sariel back would ruin some plans.

>>3623
Sometimes I imagine your party functioning about like this.

>>3624
Oh, which character am I?

>>3625
Thief.

>>3626
Thief works.

>>3627
Red Mage could be Torinn, but I'm unsure about the others.

Alright, I need 1800gp worth of magical reagents.
I have 640, so 1800-640 = 1160.
1160 * 1.05 = 1218 gp
So, I will buy 1160gp of magical reagents and give her 50gp for her work, if that's fine with Rin.

>Lili not playing

>>3631
Come on Hide, be a man.
;_;

>>3631
But I can't be up at crazy times past midni--
>checks clock
G- goodnight!

>>3633
Good night.

>>3633
i-it's not like we update every 5 minutes or something though!

>>3636
>using diplomacy against a real person
>taking 10
>not even taking the risk of a roll

Currently she's an NPC, so it's fine.

>>3638
S- so that's how you think about me, Astaroooooooooth!

>>3639
And after all that sadface stuff about Lili expys, etc

Currently! Currently! I'm trying to bring you back to the PC side!

>>3641
Then it isn't the NPC you need to persuade!

Come back please, oh great mistress of the arcane?

>>3643
>Our current arcanist
I agree

>>3630
That works!

I guess it's up to Sariel herself now.

>>3647
I would like her to play, if she doesn't feel like playing then it can't be helped.
But if she is afraid of slowing us, well I don't see any problem, our campaign isn't very fast either, timezones etc.

>>3649
She's said she wants to play, though. I think the speed is simply because people feel no need to give input at certain times.

>>3650
guilty as charged ne

>>3656
I should refresh more often, huh. Thank you.

Someone talk with Valanor, orc is scared etc.

inb4 pendant sends him into killing frenzy of death and destruction

It could just be a tool to keep an eye on us, ne.

So suspicious~

>>3663
Deny it in red!
>>3662

>>3664
Maybe you could find Letharst and ask him. He has red text.

>>3665
>red text

>He was never much for battle, at any rate.
Alright, Valanor used to bully this guy when they were small dragons. He use the term "rival" so the other dragons didn't help this poor guy. Valanor plan is to make us go to an evil tower and dispose of our bodies with his mental slave, which of course is also a dragon.

What, all those juicy plot-related details and no one has anything to say...~?

>>3672
I just got back. Haven't had time to read them.

>>3672
>>3673
It can't be helped.

>>3672
RO, etc.

So finding this guy is going to give us a ton of information no matter what happens.

Assuming we can talk to him, that is.

Don't know if there's anything else we need from Valanor.

>>3686
That's also assuming he is not an evil dragon trying to kill us. Or dragon lord, or who knows dragon master.

>>3687
Clearly the Fell King is the ringleader of the Dragon Circus.

I can buy regular barding and then have it enchanted to Impenetrable Barding, right?

>>3693
If you mean you only want to pay the difference between the two to upgrade it, that doesn't work. Otherwise, not sure what you're getting at.

I'm enchanting it. It's not a "Create Item" ritual, so it needs something to be enchanted.

>>3696
Well, yes. The price for the barding is included in the cost for impenetrable barding.

>>3697
Right. So I'm going into town to buy some light barding, then coming back to the Arcanimus to have it enchanted.

>Valanor leave
I had one more question!

50 GP - Comprehend Language - Makes me understand any language I heard before, or read before. At high level I can even speak/write it. I can perform this for free once per day with the houserule ritual casting I got.
30 GP - Banish Vermin - Prevents rats and the like from entering an area, duration affected by check result.
50 GP - Purify Water - Purifies water of all poisons etcetera, Arcana so can use it for free.
100 GP - Bloom - Makes stuff grow. If used on crops, grows enough to feed five people for a week.
100 GP - Preservation - Prevents food from rotting or papers from wear by age etcetera. Useful to enchant my spellbook with.
50 GP - Spirit Fetch - Haunts target to do a specific task for 12 hours at minimum, a day if I roll at least a 6.
125 GP - Battlefield Elocution - Lets me talk to everyone within 100 squares of me. Useful for during the din of battle, roleplay for invading a village's mind as we subject them to torture and murder in exchange for goods.
125 GP - Detect Secret Doors - I don't like secret doors. Does what it declares.
125 GP - Fool's Gold - Increases amount of money temporarily. Useful to con people but they can pierce the illusion. Annoying gimmicky.
150 GP - Arcane Lock - Locks object. Useful in RP.
175 GP - Knock - Opens object. Useful for no key.
100 GP - Water Walk - we're jesus lol
175 GP - Eavesdropper's Foil - Same as Silence, except it moves with me and is close burst 3. Probs more expensive, but Silence wards a room so doesn't work in the open.
175 GP - Travelers' Feast - Gives food for 24 hours for 5 medium size creatures, or 2 large creatures. Includes water.
250 GP - Magic Circle - Prevents anything level 5 or lower if I roll a 1, 1 higher for each roll point higher from entering the area. Does damage if they are higher level equal to Arcana + roll result, but can be broken with a standard action.
250 GP - Self-Holding Bag - 4D Pocket.

Arcanimus
- Goggles of Aura Sight - 335 gp alchemical reagents, 640 gp residuum, 27 gp for more reagents, and a 50 gp tip for Sariel (I'll retcon my decision, and instead enchant a pair of binoculars)

Shopping list
- Climber's Kit - 2 gp
- Crowbar - 2 gp
- Disguise (someone else) - 10 gp
- Disguise Kit - 30 gp
- Dowsing Rod - 20 gp
- Footpads - 5 gp
- Glass Cutter - 25 gp
- Hunter's Kit - 50 gp

Total: spent 335 alchemical reagents, 640 residuum, and 221 gp
Remaining: 1394 gp + 1 moonstone (100 gp)

Shopping list :
Impenetrable Barding - 360 gp in reagents, plus 54 gp of reagents as tip

Future shopping list :
Ruby Scabbard (1,000 gp) for action economy (attack with same motion used to draw weapon) and tiny damage buff. Upgrade to Diplomat's Scabbard later for tasty +2 item bonus to diplomacy checks

Casque of Tactics (840 gp) for initiative bonus. I hear going before monsters do is kind of a big deal for defenders and controllers. Also daily power to swap initiative with somebody.

Iron Armbands of Power (1,800 gp) because item tax.

Lancing Gloves (2,600 gp) since, although costly, it's an extra 2 to damage (not damage rolls, damage) from melee attacks while mounted. Doesn't scale or anything, but that's 2 extra damage to Holy Smite even on a miss.

>>3728
You realize you can't "upgrade" from Ruby Scabbard to Diplomat's Scabbard, right? You can only upgrade to a higher level version of the same enchantment, or from a "magic" item to some other enchantment.

>>3729
I can't have the enchant magic item ritual used on that?

>>3730
No, that's not how it works.

>>3731
Darn. Guess I'll have to put that off the list, then.

Can't I just disenchant it first and then re-enchant it with Diplomat?

>>3733
Also decided to go with Wizard's Apprentice for Sariel's theme. Fits her reason for setting out, gets me a free level 6 common implement, body or neck item (which I can then Enchant?!) and +3 Arcana/+1 Language at level 10.

Also Radiant Damage.

Can I swap out the level 4 neck item I picked with a level 6 and pick a different level 4 instead, or should I sell one of them?

>>3734
>even more dazing
That's three dazing encounter powers across the board already. Combat advantage and action limitation everywhere.

>>3735
Controller etc, pave the way for others to lay down the damage. Need more Controller powers but it'll have to wait until I level up more or get a spellbook to record Wizard powers in.

By the way, if you want to write short little RP passages of your purchases, feel free to do so. You can control the nameless NPCs to a reasonable extent if you wish.

I can't really do much til delivered, etc. Thinking on what I can do

Sariel is a meany, she didn't reply ;_;

What theme did lili end up picking anyway

>>3742
Also, she forgot the level 5 feat unless she hasn't chosen yet~ (You can add a section like the level 4 feat, etc, by clicking the house button thing near all choices made)

inb4 are you a dragon?

getting install error any time I try to launch character builder. Command prompt patch thing works fine, but when I get to the program itself it comes up saying installation error or something.

also, see post in old ic thread regarding armor etc. will maybe post before work tomorrow or something in the current ic thred.

Do we have reliable access to minor-action-or-lower saving throws for allies on a per-encounter basis yet?

>>3757
I like it, good work.

On a side note, anyone else have any questions or concerns to give to the grand duke...?

>>3759
Hmm... Any way I should phrase my request to make sure the folks back at home here about this?

>>3759
thanks,although it was a much longer post with interesting dialogue before it got lost. my post in the current thread would more likely be head scratching and lolidunno besides warning him to be careful with shadowfell invasion

I keep forgetting, Tymanther is a region, not a city.

anyways, suddenly sureiya ask why michael have a new shiny armor

are we at the tower yet

>>3781
no go to sleep snob

George go get your Rod of Corruption or something already so we can move on.

>>3790
I'd like to take this opportunity to say "whoa".

I forgot I need to get an Amulet of Protection from somewhere for my Wizard Apprentice fifth level feat. Does anyone need/want a level 4 neck item that protects against ranged attacks?

>>3793
I guess I could take it.

>>3794
isn't badge of the berserker consider neck slot or w/e

>>3799
Yeah. That's what I meant. It's not necessary.

>no problem
Well, this is how I feel right now.

What sword? Sariel never mentioned a sword or showed off a sword, did she?

>>3812
She gotta be holding it somewhere right? or is on the magical bag?

Dynamic, it's magic I ain't gotta explain shit etc.

Warlock updates are now official.

Are the changes good for george?

>>3846
Not as good as if he'd been a star/infernal/fey pact warlock, but yes, it's certainly for the better.

>>3847

>Hunger of Hadar damage once per turn

Yatta.

Those golems could be a problem if left alone. Any way we can keep them out of the fight for a turn so we can beat down the doll with impunity?

>>3842
updating etc the HP and such should be fine now, just gotta add armours etc

>>3850
Though I have the strangest feeling that they'll turn out to have ranged attacks, if keeping them out of melee range is the goal, placing the elemental spirit at F-13 and my spirit companion at C-13 should keep the golems away from our side of the room. If I need to keep the golems exactly where they are, I can use one of my dailies to accomplish that for the whole encounter. This is all assuming that they can't squeeze or teleport or something.

As for the clay dolls, do you think we should attack the sphere-things that summoned them?

>>3851
It would be nice if you updated your powers later, so we can easily see what op things you have for planning and etc.

I could keep them where they are with Grasping Shadows. I can also send them away with Dimensional Vortex if they DO get in melee range, but I don't have much else to restrict their movements.

So the bladesinger is apparently a wizard with a sword that, without a single feat, gets intelligence based MBAs, a shield bonus, doesn't provoke OA's with ranged or area attacks, and can use weapons as implements. And its at-wills can knock prone and slide at will. Seems pretty good-
>add wizard encounter powers as daily powers
>can't use wizard daily powers
dropped

Maybe I got in over my head here.

>>3877
Bern got sad and left for a few days, you better say sorry to her etc.

This seems to be a pretty difficult situation. If I don't move out into the larger area, I won't be able to hit any of the enemies except for the injured one, which could kill it and make it explode on Sureiya, who's already fairly wounded. However, moving out would leave me vulnerable to at least four enemies, and would only be a good idea if everyone else also ran out of the corridor. As far as the courses of action go, I've come up with the following four:

1. Stay in corridor, draw rod of corruption, try to kill the sentry doll near anon-kun and hope it doesn't hurt him too much.

2. Move somewhere behind touchan, draw rod of corruption, use an action point minor action to curse something in the group to the right, and focus it down for curse spreading.

3. Move behind touchan, and Hunger of Hadar the group to the right. They're mostly large enemies, so it should be more effective than usual, and it'll also block line of sight for their ranged attacks. We have a lot of dailies available, so it shouldn't be too much of a loss to use it here.

4. Delay turn until after someone with an enemy-moving skill, they move the sentry doll near anon-kun into the group to the right, we focus it down for the explosion damage.

If it gets another attack, it'll do more damage than if we just kill it now.

>>3880
That's what I said. I don't particularly mind the explosion. I got the extra +5 temp hp and I can spend a healing surge as a movement action.

To be fair, the golems were pretty lucky. They need to roll quite high to hit Torinn's AC. With that said, it seemed like only the attacks against Torinn rolled high.

>>3880

Well, it should be easy enough to kill it before it can take its turn anyways. It'd be silly to take extra damage if we can avoid it, though.

>>3882
Well, one of the attacks actually crit-ed. And 16 is not that much for a critical.

If I reeeeeally need to get out of there in a hurry, I can just summon the horse, get on the horse, and have it take me to safety.

>>3885
Isn't that a standard and movement action just to summon/get on the horse?

>>3886
And a minor action to move.

>>3887
It's not a minor action to move when you are mounted. I thought we discussed that.

>>3888
Ohhh, sorry. We did indeed discuss it but I forgot what the verdict was.

Also does anyone else think that opening the door set off some sort of trap? Glowing blue orb to open it etc, next time we see one lemme investigate it before you pull a George.

>>3890
Yeah, maybe we shouldn't be so quick to open them if they set off alarms and whatnot.

I changed anon's move a bit to make it more legal. It doesn't really change much in the grand scheme of things, though it does leave him a little closer to the golems.

If we cluster close like we were before, those lasers are going to fry us.

I believe I have 22 HP left, since the first detector's damage also should have been reduced.

Make it rain.

Wrist Razors don't violate the swordmage warding clause about things taking up the off-hand. Thus, Sariel can have them enchanted with the Rhythm Blade enchantment and have a +1 to AC and Reflex without giving up the bonuses from swordmage warding.

So I can reduce George's damage if necessary, giving him 7 more HP.

Also shouldn't one of those Detectors be hurt for moving into my Grasping Shadows zone? Or is its elevation making it immune to it?

also derp @ attack rolling etc old and senile

>>3915
Probably a good idea.

For some reason I was convinced that a hybrid mage existed.

Granting sureiya a ranged attack with bern turn would probably allow us to kill the sphere.

I'm not quite sure Sureiya added his attack bonus right. Did he take the -2 penalty for the long-range attack, and did he use his Dexterity modifier for the attack roll instead of Strength? If he does that, I have a +8 attack bonus for him (and thus two rolls of 18).

>>3929
He was closer than before. Is elevation six going to impose a penalty on such attacks regardless of positioning as long as you're on the ground?

>>3930
Elevation 6 is 6 squares above you--no matter how you're positioned, a 5/10 weapon will take a penalty attacking something at that distance. Unless you're able to fly up.

Was thinking of going A-9 and hitting the doll with Booming Blade. Otherwise, A-6 and Winged Horde C-11.

Thoughts?

>>3934
I'm not sure what Booming blade does, but it would be nice if you keep that doll busy.

>>3935
Damage + more damage if it moves away from me, and I get to trigger an OA if it does anything untoward.

Intelligent Blademaster etc. (might retrain that, I don't think I'm going to trigger many OAs the way I play right now. :P)

>>3936
sounds good to keep it there, go ahead

>roll a 1
Nothing but failures the entire encounter. Why do I even bother etc. I almost feel like blowing the Action Point, but that'd be a waste.

Geez, I hate when that happens

>>3939

Actually, given the rate that we're damaging the detectors, an action point might be useful, considering that without curse damage it'll take me a while to kill them.

You know, I'm just gonna say that Michael had time to get Sariel to upgrade his scale armor +2 to dwarven armor. I know you intended to, even if we didn't get to RP it out. Just subtract the necessary gold/reagents.

I think she mad cause I said the encounter was manageable and didn't warrant mass use of dailies.

>>3944
I don't think she's actually mad so much as this just proves her point.

>>3942
I don't think we were fooling around in this encounter. But we surely need to start some strategy now.

Also aren't you glad I preserved my Channeling Shield until now, Attarou~?

>>3948
Very, thank you.

I think I might have to burn the daily surgeless heal on myself, since I don't have my second wind anymore. And unless somebody has a way to remove the daze affecting me at the moment, then I can't use righteous radiance to punish attacks either, since dazing prevents opportunity attacks from being taken. About the only good thing I can do is still have them in my aura for the -2 penalty to attacks.

>>3949

At this point, focusing down the bloodied golem is also pretty important, especially for characters that can't hit the spheres easily. It has a defender aura, after all.

>>3952
The characters that can't hit spheres easily are all dazed at the moment.

>>3944
>>3945
>>3947
Don't be mistaken, I would like you guys to survive as much as anyone. This encounter's just supposed to be a warm-up, after all~

Before Torinn moves, if he is attacked with an OA can I immediate interrupt it?

>>3956
>moves
I'm dazed, why would I attempt to move when I can only take one action on my turn?

>>3957
And I'm also slowed, so I can't really move much unless I decide to run.

>>3957

Use an action point. Also, everyone to streamchat.

>>3959
I already used mine.

Guardian Golem 2 had -2 on that roll, for what it's worth. Doesn't help Sureiya dodge it? :(

>>3964
It's just a 10% less chance of hitting, not a guaranteed miss.

Er, should have also mentioned that Hide wanted to get the shift from Spirit Step.

>>3968
If I missed granting someone a shift, then Hide can feel free to shift.

An effective missile. With this, it's very likely that the hadar damage to sentry doll 3 will allow me to spread my curse to every single enemy.

Swordmage Attack 5
A gout of flame springs from your sword, searing your enemy and threatening to consume it in deadlier flames.
Daily ✦ Arcane, Fire, Implement
Standard Action Close burst 10
Target: One creature in burst
Attack: Intelligence vs. Fortitude
Hit: 2d10 + Constitution modifier fire damage, and the creature is marked as if from your Swordmage Aegis power until the end of the encounter. This does not end existing marks placed by your Swordmage Aegis power, and using your Swordmage Aegis power to mark another enemy does not end this mark. Another creature’s mark supersedes this one.
Miss: The creature is marked as if from your Swordmage Aegis power until the end of the encounter. This does not end existing marks placed by your Swordmage Aegis power, and using your Swordmage Aegis power to mark another enemy does not end this mark. Another creature’s mark supersedes this one.
Aegis of Shielding: Until the end of the encounter, when you reduce the damage the target deals using aegis of shielding, the target takes fire damage equal to the amount of damage your aegis of shielding power prevents.

so nice etc

>>3972
just befriend already etc

So Winged Horde on the mass of them when my turn comes up? It's area attack so doesn't suffer from accuracy problems due to lacking line of sight iirc, but Rin'll probs contradict that later etc.

I can also Booming Blade one but that seems sub-optimal.

How about winged horde in the bloodied golem?

>>3974
I was thinking you could either pop a daily on the bloodied golem or throw that theme encounter power at it to daze it. OAs aren't really an issue for me.

>>3976
Actually, winged horde's the better idea because the golem has cover against ranged attacks from where you are right now.

>>3976

We don't really need more dailies at this point, besides perhaps the heal from touchan. Just use winged horde on the top two, or color orb the bloodied golem, ne.

Well considering we got two dailies using about 2~4 per encounter doesn't seem that bad.

>>3979
>we

>>3980
Silly astaroth, you got three.

>>3981
Unless there's a way to get it up the stairs of the tower reliably, I don't think the horse is an option.

That's why you got to summon it twice per day, you summon it in fight or before a fight.

>>3982

If horses can walk up hills, I'm sure they can climb stairs.

>>3984
Shion said no.

I think.

get a better horse etc

>mfw michael hasn't used Vengeance is Mine yet this encounter

>>3987
Was he hit by a melee attack? I don't remember if he was or not...

>>3988
It triggers when he gets hit, period.

Sorry that I didn't get to post yesterday, exhausted after work, napped til it was time for bed then fell asleep until it was time to get up for work I will post soon.

Don't worry about it, you should get used to it after some time.

So much for curse spread.
