This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Nah, sure. Assuming Ylarum is readying the projectile as he moves west, catches up with Snave and then molotovs the guys south, I think you can take your shot now. Roll for it.

BTW movements have basically been done for the round and you've got the initiative at this point, so anyone willing to take shots or make melee attacks do it at this point. I know Drohem, Cole and Ylarum have done so already, which is a good thing. Just pointing it out if anybody else is in doubt. Once everyone who wants to has attacked, I'll go for the monsters, and then new intents, new init, new (third) round.

The orc looks around as if searching for a way to escape. He mumbles to himself: "we'll all become mindless creatures like them. Those who are not digested will rise from the dead. All dead and mindless. We'll be trapped, all of us. And then the masters will reject us from the Pact. Forsaken, trapped in here! KILL ME! Please! Kill me now!"

Form the group wisely, make sure you share goals and means.
Set norms of table etiquette early on.
Encourage attentive participation and speed of play so the game will stay vibrant!
Allow that the group, milieu and system will from an organic symbiosis.
Most importantly, have fun exploring the possibilities!

Quote from: Benoist;430622Othos moves Rissthil's unconscious body farther up north, into the apothecary (potion room). He leaves the elf there and makes his way back to his dwarven brethren to join in the fight. He's not there yet (choose a position).

"Stay there Rissthil, we'll be back!"  Rushing towards the battle in a swift waddle, Othos tries to discern if the axe attacks did any lasting damage on the blob creatures.

Ulas misses. He's pretty sure that, had the monk not had partial cover due to the enormous crystal between them, he would have hit him.

Quote from: Drohem;430678Belak's attack hits AC 0 for 8 damage, and Klob's attack hits AC 6 for 2 damage.
Both Belak and Klob's attacks hit fairly easily. They do not, however, do as much damage as was intended. It looks like the axes' blades go through some sort of gel that partially reforms itself once they slashed through it!

Both fleshlings seem to try to bite Belak and Klob with half-shaped, non existent mouths.

One fleshling attacks Klob: Fumble.
One fleshling attacks Belak: Miss.

This is a hit. Two of the fleshlings are fairly close together, and they both melt in contact with the flames!

"The Quaan! The Lords of the Pact do not suffer weakness or any other allegiances. There is no hope for me to return. If I become one of them... no! The Pact must not be broken!" The Orc looks straight back at Runch, now pleading again: "This is the Truth! KILL ME NOW!"

DM: Alright! New round. What are your intents at this point?

OOC: Tudd's intention is to continue towards the fighting until he find something to hit. Unless he gets distracted by something shiny of course.

Othos will finish trying to set his morningstar aflame and then maneuver south of Klob and get down to business with his goo monster.  If he can accomplish that during movement he will attempt to clobber it as well.

"Fire!" Belak yells as he realizes that their weapons are ineffective against these strange creatures, "we need fire over here!"

"By the Forge!" Klob exclaims when his axe passes through the creature without much resistance, or effect.

"Klob, step back and put some bolts into that one the dais!" Belak barks once he sees Othos stepping up to their line of defense.

Klob steps back cautiously while holding the creature at bay and allowing Othos to step into his position on the front line.  Klob immediately jams his hand axe into his weapon's belt, and starts cocking his crossbow to fire.

============================

OOC: Round 3 intentions...

Belak will fight defensively, trying to hold the creature from advancing forward, and not to inflict any damage on it.

Klob performs a Fighting Retreat so that he and Othos can switch places.  He puts his hand axe away and prepares his crossbow to fire.

It is an actual doorway with an open door, opened towards the inside of the room.

Lilaxe

Smeads will hug the wall to his left (as facing into the room)

Then slink along it to the corner. Then will crouch down and crawl along the floor nearest to the wall. One near a candle I will call back for someone to shoot a candle to distract it's attention, then crawl past that candle real quick.

musing on this bit for a moment. (In common) "Quaan?" searching memory for this word as... (in Orcish) "'Preciate that.Alright then maggot out we go!" as I push him towards the S. room..."Ya live a bit longer,tough that!"
