SparkyM: should I change characters? 3 ranged seems like too much Far-Walker: 3 ranged is NEVER ENOUGH Far-Walker: or change chars whatever Yin: Well, let us see, we've got two rangers, a weapon master, a thief, and a sorceror. Yin: Right? Right. Yin: Should be fine. SparkyM: I knew I should have made a cleric SparkyM: I still might Yin: I've made like... 11 characters. With an idea for a 12th I haven't done yet. I realize though most of them are strikers, I have two defenders, and one, maybe two controllers. SparkyM: I like support characters SparkyM: Also, we have no defenders SparkyM: Or healers Yin: Currently, yeah. Vess joined #pwot_dnd2. SparkyM: Pwot DnD: Mirror discussion Far-Walker: The only reason OOC exists. Vess: Also boning. Far-Walker: I think we should re-name two-way mirrors. Yin: Perhaps it is Count Cocklove? Far-Walker: We can't not rescue someone with that name. Yin: Also Far-Walker we're waiting on your initiative. SparkyM: I knew I should have changed characters, ranged here is not great Brigsby: I thought we decided Castle Coklov was some kind of alternate dimension type thing where we keep all our cool stuff? Yin: *shrug* Brigsby: yeah Brigsby: If I knew we could switch, I'd try Tor out Brigsby: but too late Yin: Tor? Brigsby: my new guy SparkyM: This is a situation where melee is handy Brigsby: I watched and read way too much Game of Thrones, and made a Dothraki guy Yin: Oh right that guy. Brigsby: yeah Far-Walker: Minions! Get out your high-attack, low-damage powers, everyone. Yin: All my attacks are the same thing. Yin: *shrug* SparkyM: They might have a cursespewer again SparkyM: Those guys suck SparkyM: like, they will kill us suck Vess: Then we kill them quicker. Far-Walker: Oh god it is Count Coklove Yin: Count Cocklove it is. Far-Walker: Maybe Countess Cocklove will be extra grateful for us saving the Count? Yin: With a castle like Cocklove, he's probably more a unmarried and open for business type I think. Vess: You are a bug creature Brigsby: see, this would be a perfect situation for Adam Vess: you have no visible genitalia Far-Walker: There need to be more bug ladies in this game. Far-Walker: I demand this. Brigsby: a queen? Vess: You mate using eggs Brigsby: That might not be that good of an idea, she could use some kind of psychic hivemind thing on you and turn you against us Far-Walker: Or eat my head. Brigsby: who says it can't be both? Far-Walker: Who says either aren't worth it? SparkyM: If she ate your head, then used the psychic thing, that would be AWESOME Brigsby: everyone that would have to fight you Far-Walker: She should eat my head, then you use a Wish to get me back, but I still don't have a head. Far-Walker: So you have a team mate who's headless and a bug. Far-Walker: And immune to Will-affecting spells! SparkyM: Or vulnerable Vess: I am going to murder fortuna SparkyM: That was not a good turn for you Vess: that was the worst turn of my life. Brigsby: just be glad it's not like my PvP fight against Ig Vess: I rolled 4 1's since we started Brigsby: at least the goblins aren't rolling well either SparkyM: At some point, we are going to have an encounter where it's crits all night long SparkyM: Just to balance out the universe Vess: In case you didn't see it past my swearing, my plan was to hit all three of them with tempest dance, break the door, action point, and dual strike the hobgoblins with CA. Vess: instead I rolled 3 1's and a 4 Vess: Its like 2:1 rolls under 10 SparkyM: we wasted the good rolls on initiative Vess: you did Vess: I rolled a 1 init Yin: Oh hey I think I know what that means, Thorn definitely doesn't though. Brigsby: I don't knwo Brigsby: know Yin: I recently read an article on one of the evil gods, fellow called Bane I think. Yin: One of his symbols is the black gauntlet. Yin: Goblinoids are also quite fond of him. Brigsby: hmmm Vess: History check it if you want Vess: or religion check Yin: I have no ability in either of these skills, Thorn is a gnoll, he doesn't particularly care. Vess: we are at 80% under 10 rolls. Yin: Wow. Just wow. SparkyM: All my attacks have enough bonus so the roll has to be at least 10 SparkyM: I HAVE MISSED ABOUT 5 TIMES Vess: I don't want to talk about missing. Yin: I'm at 50/50 currently, not counting the sudden leap kick attempt, and that might not count either cause one of them was a door. Yin: This is worse then those pair of practice 1s followed by my two piloting 1s. Brigsby: Sorry Thorn Yin: It's alright. SparkyM: Vess is having the shit kicked out of her Vess: ya think? Vess: thorn will go down first Vess: but I'm probably down on my turn Yin: I don't suppose you or Far can clear the space out a little? Yin: Not that I'm gonna be moving much. Far-Walker: I think I might be able to get something out Brigsby: we just went from doing pretty ok to getting swarmed Vess: when were we doing ok? Vess: when we climbed the stairs? Yin: When none of us had been hit yet, yeah we hadn't been doing much killing but we had been doing alright surviving. Vess: I suggest you move a bit far Vess: and try for some aoe Brigsby: what Yin said Far-Walker: I think I'm going to save my own ass first, sorry Vess: that's what I meant Far-Walker: Wait, which are the minions? Far-Walker: Goblins or Hobgoblins? Vess: gobs Vess: you have two minions next to the wolf Brigsby: Can either of you, Vess or Thorn, get out of that region? Vess: hahahhahaha Vess: no Vess: thorn cant move Vess: I am grasped Vess: Just blow the whole place Brigsby: You could try to get out of the grab, then shift over Brigsby: I don't want to hit one of you again Yin: Well, technically I can move, but then I die probably. Vess: I'll try Vess: He kept adding adjectives when he described the damage Vess: so I assume it will be serious Brigsby: yeah, it probably will Yin: Indeed, so don't worry about me, I'm thinking of using the grapple hook trick to try and drag that shadow hexer over to stab him, repeatedly. Yin: With gusto. Brigsby: Well, if Vess can get out of the region, I can put you in the eye of the storm Yin: And that'll be especially nice if I can drag the shadow hexer over to join in on the targets of your attack. Brigsby: exactly SparkyM: Vess should go wail on the hexer, if that's possible Vess: I would die Vess: long before I even got a hit Vess: I need to second wind Brigsby: Well, he's a hexer. He probably isn't too tough Brigsby: especially if you target fort Vess: I'm i better shape than I thought I would be. Vess: I target AC SparkyM: how many HP is thorn at? Yin: 9 SparkyM: i can target everyone there with an attack, including you. don't particularly want to risk it though Vess: you can manuever to exclude thorn Vess: since the region isnt full anymore SparkyM: oooh Vess: brigs, try to throw all of them into that back region Vess: if lucas doesn't kill all of them Brigsby: Provided I hit them, i willl Brigsby: Vess, I can get you out of there Vess: When does your tempest disapear? Brigsby: I can sustain it Vess: I would like to get out of here. Brigsby: I can use Sorcerous Sirocco to make us both fly out of the hall and land in the bottom region Yin: If you're still alive. Vess: yeah Yin: Oi. Brigsby: I have 2HP Yin: Yay you're alive! Vess: I say you and I try to get moving Vess: See if we can heal check each other. Brigsby: I have a +0 heal Brigsby: I'll just focus on getting us out of there first Yin: Oh hey, the wolf is still around, on another note, how does Far Walker's elemental spirits or whatever thing he used on that work? Specifically how it relates to the damaging of the enemies around it? Vess: basically. Vess: Brigs is going to die. Vess: Then I am going to die Far-Walker: Basically, at the end of their turn, they take Dex mod damage Vess: Well not me. Far-Walker: And far's at 5 Yin: The wolf is probably about to kill someone. Yin: It has concealment, and Ig mentioned it does more damage with concealment. Vess: the wolf is about to kill at least 3 of us. Brigsby: both of those attacks against me just now were exactly my reflex Brigsby: one lower would have missed SparkyM: Same SparkyM: I am not supposed to be in this situation SparkyM: I am not built for "the thick of it" Brigsby: where's the hellbeast? Vess: if you can get me out brigs, then I'll delay Yin: Hellbeast? Brigsby: the tentacle monster Brigsby: oh, I see it Brigsby: it's next to me Vess: alternatively you can leave with far walker Vess: and I will try to slow them down with murder. Brigsby: you mean you'll try to slow them down with you dying Vess: oh wait, I can't hit anything in here. Vess: I am basically blind Brigsby: maybe if enough of us die in there, we can block the hall, so they can't get to Thorn Yin: There's still the other door. Brigsby: true Yin: Though using thievery I could probably lock it. Yin: And then block it. Brigsby: so even in death, our attempts are futile SparkyM: I wonder if that cursespewer necklace I picked up does anything Yin: Could be worth a try. Yin: Hmm... try smashing it against the wall? Yin: Magically speaking no one could get it to do anything. Yin: But, generally speaking breaking something of unknown magical or divine power should cause something. Vess: usually explosions Yin: Usually. SparkyM: I will have to deal with that hobgoblin first though Yin: Pin it to the tip of an arrow and shoot it at the hexer? Vess: why not? Vess: I'll attack the hob if brigsby gets me out. SparkyM: I'll try to soften it then Brigsby: I can get you out on my turn SparkyM: and then we can deal with this other corridor Vess: indeed Vess: anyone have more than +1 to heal? Yin: I don't think so... SparkyM: +4 Vess: that'll do Yin: Well, sides the ranger guys cause of their wisdom scores. Vess: far, you should try to hit more than the wolf Brigsby: kill this guy next to me please Vess: Me? Brigsby: so he won't hit us with OAs when we fly out Brigsby: or delay Vess: DAMMIT MAN Vess: WHAT DO YOU WANT Brigsby: I DON'T CARE Brigsby: oh, uh, Vess is dead now SparkyM: woops Brigsby: whew SparkyM: oh, maybe not Vess: I had to piss so I forgot everything Brigsby: Was Vess supposed to be in the bigger room? Brigsby: or still in the hall? Vess: hall Vess: I couldnt touch the letter anymore Brigsby: okay, good Brigsby: I fixed it Vess: stupid scribblejigger Vess: If you manage to heal me I am going to run to that shadowhexer and drive his head through a wall. SparkyM: We can hope SparkyM: it's only a +4, mind Vess: all you need to do is pass a check Vess: and I get a surge SparkyM: isn't the check 15? Yin: I'm out of backstabs, but I still have sneak attack bonus damage for hitting people, so I can still help out. Vess: gambler's stride all the way. SparkyM: oh no, it's shadowfucker's turn Yin: He just played a card. SparkyM: He can play cards? Vess: so he did Vess: apparently Yin: Important NPCs can apparently, so that means one should definitely use any good cards so enemies can't. Yin: On the bright side, he just immobilized himself. SparkyM: I might have trouble healing you when you're over there, vess Vess: ah well Vess: I'll see what I can do about that. SparkyM: Am I the only one who isn't bloodied? Vess: yes Far-Walker: I'm JUST bloodied Brigsby: probably Far-Walker: Barely. Brigsby: I'm at 2 Far-Walker: Just a wee bit Yin: Yeah. I'm at 9. SparkyM: It feels great, by the way SparkyM: I'm so pure Vess: So for those keeping track, I've had three rolls over 10 so far Vess: 2 were against wood SparkyM: I did laugh quite a bit when you failed that death save there SparkyM: It's just comical at this stage Far-Walker: Is the douchy goblin guy bloodied yet? SparkyM: don't think so Far-Walker: So that makes him and Sparky Far-Walker: You're not alone! SparkyM: We can be best buddies! Far-Walker: TRAITOR Far-Walker: Bloody him! SparkyM: I rapid shot you all SparkyM: Me and the cursethingy having great fun SparkyM: skipping through fields Far-Walker: Holy crap. Far-Walker: I've used all my encounters and dailies.
