[Ptolus/AD&D] OOC Thread #1

It's a reasonable strategy, just checking to make sure you saw the little guy's token - I didn't at first.

Cool I'll be on my guard.

So should I start in the underground thread now?

So should I start in the underground thread now?

Tudd's going to make his entrance during the round (round 2), and act on the next (round 3). Nimten will reach the room's ceiling at the beginning of (round 3). So what you guys can do at this point, if you haven't already, is read about what's happened in the Underground thread, to get the description of the room and its features, most importantly!

Smeads will reach the room at the beginning of (round 4) (gives lilaxe the time to catch up and make some prep was he is being lowered down, if he wants to, while not waiting forever either). Who knows? Maybe he'll fall down the well too?

Hey Ben,  not to be a son of a bitch but...

Alright. This means you guys act on Segment 3, and the bad guys act on Segment 5.
...

Othos: you cast Cure Light Wounds on Ylarum. It takes 5 Segments, which means it will take effect next round.
...

Wouldn't the spell go off in segment 8 of a 10-segment round?  I thought there were four vacant segments at the end of the d6, or am I having an edition-based brain fart?

No you're entirely correct. Was bad wording on my part. I meant that it would take effect after the bad guys attacked. My bad!

Which of course means you should roll for the cure. Go!

Ah mate, I love your use of the special symbols for dwarven runes. Awesome.

Oh, thanks. It was pure coincidence that I needed a copyright symbol for work around the same time I was generating my character for this game and I thought to myself: Don't forget to use those rune-lookin things for something in the pbp game. :cool:

But hell, you're the one doing the stellar job and putting in a lot of hard work operating the game with far more bells and whistles than we rightly deserve.  So the cookie goes to you.

Wow. Second critical hit in a row! You do 6 damage automatically!

I know I sound like the kid in 2nd grade who asks "Mrs. Crabtree, what's the homework tonight?" when the bell rings - but you might want to check if I'm doing something wrong with invisible castle to make it give a results spread of "20" as opposed to "1-20."

Nope. As far as I can tell, you are doing it right. You are just a lucky SOB right now.

Ben, have you described the two figures to the north yet? I can't locate the post where they were introduced.

It's Runch who warned the group about guys on the left flank (i.e. north). He spotted them while moving around the dais.

Do you have a link to the post?

[Benoist]

Do you have a link to the post?

The check/thing happened via PM, so you'd have to ask Runch. As for Runch's warning, it's there:

Seeing goblins near the red lantern I yell "Ambush,Ware the left flank comrades!" I move to the NE flank yelling an challenge in Orcish "Come dogs,my steel hungers!" while making a rotation with my longsword. Choosing my ground (see above) I plant my feet wide and hold sword a bit over rt. shoulder as I set shield and await all comers.

[Cole]

As for Runch's warning, it's there:

Thanks! That's what I'd missed.

Edit: (I missed that it was the red lantern and looked at the guys near the giant (maybe his being marked red due to the fire subconsciously affected my perception.)

[Benoist]

Hehe.

I love it how Tudd crashed onto the basket!
