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.

Yes, that's exactly the marching order as I envisioned it.  Are Json and Tarm's polearms long enough for them to use them from the 2nd rank?

(edit: I also missed that Rissthil was going off, but that doesn't change my overall suggestion on the marching order)

Quote from: Benoist;423791Three people can actually stand side-by-side in a 10' wide corridor as per the AD&D rules, by the way, which goes contrary to the visual representation here, which shows characters as sort of 5' wide blobs (one detail that actually changes everything in terms of tactics...).

The AD&D rules win here, of course.

What can I say?  I know my AD&D dungeon corridor tactics :D

Quote from: Drohem;423808I guess you missed my post #238.  Rissthil was moving toward the area before Ylarum's post.
Yes. I completely missed your post. Sorry about that! :o (the marching order plan here is theoretical, an application of what Ylarum was talking about. Some characters are taking their place in that order in the game as of now, as I'm aware, but Rissthil as you posted is to the north right now).

I'm going to update the map and post what you're seeing right away. Apologies!

Hiya, guys!

I'm back from my trip, and I will try to catch up with the game today. Hope Gareth is still alive! Well, seeing the diagram with the march order, I guess he is  :D

I think our first objective is to get the goblins that are hiding in that room. They could sneak out to warn others, or use hit and run attacks from behind.

Once they are taken care of, we could open the rest of the crates to check them and examine the rest of the room.

DM: is the platform down? if so, maybe the crates should be placed on it and sent back up?

Ah thanks, Lilaxe.
That's why I was guessing, but I wasn't totally clear about that myself (I wondered why the other chests and bodies were left alone). :)

Yes it's left down from now, to let you guys come back up whenever you need it.

"Well, we can try it. It would be great to test the might of those who built this trap. I've never seen the like of it before."
LOL :rotfl:

That made me laugh so hard. I can just see a thief say that in the middle of a dungeon, as if right in the middle of the candy store!
"We can try all that crazy shit! This is awesome!" LOL

Absolutely. Gareth is having the time of his life. I guess he's still under the adrenal rush of killing the ogre. So for him, at this moment, everything's easy :D

Heh. That movie does have its moments for me. I don't like the whole resolution, however. I really like the beginning, the set up, the crew of mercenaries and all, but the more the film progresses, the more I see stuff I would have liked to have seen done differently.

Aliens is by far my favorite of the series.

Benoist, the crystal is only about 10 feet across, same as the trap right?

Ten feet isn't that far. May fat-ass can jump six and I never lived outside.

This is what I'm thinking. I don't want to risk strait jumping it. My wizard only has a strength score of 7, but I'm thinking that strength of 7 is proportional to his size. He's like 4'6" or something, and lives on the sea or adventuring outside - being the kind of guy who see's nothing wrong with coming down in this pit.

If the crystal itself doesn't seem dangerous to touch, I'm going to have him take his pack off, then run at the crystal and jump at it, run two steps across, and jump to the other side.

Basically, yes. It's totally feasible to jump over it for someone with little to no encumbrance, for sure. It was clearly intended to take people (would-be robbers, enemies, who knows, depending on the purpose of the place?) by surprise, or to impede rapid movement, rather than stop anyone and everyone going through the area.

It becomes more a question of Dexterity than anything else, then. That's what you'd have to roll to do this.

PS: I wonder what the goblins are doing during all this time you're fooling around in that big room... :D
