[Ptolus/AD&D] OOC Thread #1

Clarification on the state of the game at this point:

Waiting on Rissthil to decide whether he uses his short bow, and whoever (Nimten?) wants to shoot or cast a spell.
Then Ylarum and Co. barge into the room, as I understand it.

Correct.  I'm waiting on an arty barrage before I lead the troops in.

[Drohem]

Damn, that dwarf mini is frackulating cool!

Negatory on Rissthil with missile fire as he currently has a longsword in one hand and a torch in the other.  He's waiting for the push into the room to do some mischief with his sword.

Alright! Last call on missiles.
Otherwise we move on with the charge inside the room (looks like the door could be forced open with a shoulder).

[Benoist]

JESUS CHRIST my rolls SUCK.

[skofflox]

you have my sympathies sir....NOT!

[Benoist]

Regeneration!



Interesting shield Ylarum's wearing:

[thedungeondelver]

I actually got that mini for a WHFRP 2e game for my witch-hunting Ordo Fidelis member Manfred Kreuzworth I was running.  I thought the shield worked well for the character.

[Benoist]

I wonder why Ylarum's having a shield like that. Some Lothianite shield given to him, maybe? Or maybe he picked it up from a corpse on a battle field? Interesting.

[Cranewings]

By the way, if I'm not online and it would be appropriate for my character to intervene in a fight, you can have him act. He gets one sleep spell, and he won't use it until things look really grim - either the party has to be out numbered by orcs and goblins or someone falls with a grim outlook for the fight.

Otherwise, Nimten will never get in harms way if he can help it.

- Edit, the new minis look pretty fucking awesome.

[Imperator]

Now I can say it properly, without disrupting the thread:

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT FUCKING SHIT?

What the fuck are we supposed to do if the big oaf raises again from the fucking dead?

Second: what if the fuckers destroy the basket?

[Benoist]

Who knows? Maybe...





PS: I'm not making shit up/shifting the paradigm as I go. Just making that very clear!

PPS: Sending you a PM about what you heard, Ramon!

[Benoist]

Cool idea, the sliding thing, Ramon!

Also: I'm aware of Runch's question to the defeated/hysterical orc.
I'll get back to it, hopefully as soon as Othos and Smeads take their action this round.

Thanks, glad you are liking it. I am not sure about everyone's style and aesthetical preferences. For some people D&D hould be sober, grim, without any kind of acrobatics. For others, anything short of wire fight goes.

I'm finding my groove, but I imagine Gareth as some sort of pulp hero, meaning he's going to be really nimble, but nothing wuxia. Also, the sliding thing is totally Indiana Jones-like, which is something that I fell it fits D&D perfectly. When you have a 17 DEX, you may afford to do that.

Then I'm moving to the west door ASAP, hoping that Nimten is right behind me. Things are going to get ugly for the Hidden Chorus of Hell in no time.

Hopefully some of these things will try to chase you and get caught in the trap, like CW suggested earlier - from the other direction!

That would totally make my day. Also, we would get to test the trap in some animated stuff!!
