Sounds like the DM needs to sling a rock the ogre’s way then!

Feel better!

Yah, feel better. I'll NPC Norris as needed until you're back.

Thanks, all- your good wishes and kind words are appreciated. I'm going to start catching up on the posts today. Depending on how things go, I'll be able to post real soon.

It's now a matter of backlogged household and work issues I need to juggle and put back into order.

Please remind me- do D&D B/X thieves have a backstab ability?
Sep 10, 2021 12:07 am
@Demagor: Yup!
Quote:
Some DMs rule that a PC must first succeed either a "Move Silently" or "Hide in Shadows" test before "Backstab" can be utilized, but this really makes the "Backstab" skill nearly impossible to implement for low level Thieves, due to low percentage rates for those prerequisite skills. The only rule, R.A.W., for "Backstab" is that the target has to be unaware (hence why some DMs require the other skill rolls first), so I like to rule as a DM that thieves can use Backstab whenever an enemy is engaged with another target because they're focused on the enemy in front of them and thus "unaware" of one running up from behind.

I'll post for Bors in the morning if we don't hear from @nezzaraj.

Oh sorry didn't know I was up lol.

Looks like none of us wanted to wait for the GM. Obviously if the Ogre is dead, Eltrezar won't be casting his spell. But dang it, I've been waiting like four months to cast again!

That ogre was a guaranteed one hit kill machine, I really can't believe our luck!

I just read back through the IC, looks like I have a potion of slow poison and two of cure light wounds. I thought Mal had also bought some potions. We've used two of them?
Sep 14, 2021 1:01 pm
Mal has one cure potion left and three holy waters. Hard to recall the actual use of the potions but my tracking matches with the DM's.
Sep 14, 2021 4:00 pm
I believe Bors used one of the Potions of Cure Light Wounds, and maybe Gilly? Let me go check...

Yes, back in July 25-26-ish... (Page 20 of this thread)... Bors drank a potion for 5HP, Gilly drank one for 6HP, and the Trading Post Man-at-Arms took one for an unknown amount of HP.
Maloria has one potion left.

I'm leaving for a backpacking trip Friday morning so I'll be incommunicado until Sunday evening. Feel free to NPC Mal, in combat she will turn undead or swing her hammer always preferring the front line.

I'm a little jealous. It's raining everywhere around me this weekend, and I was planning a bushwacking trip to an alpine lake. Not gonna do that with slippery, muddy slopes...
Sep 17, 2021 1:19 am
While I do love camping in the rain, I have only undertaken two backpacking trips in the rain and they were pretty rough. Bushwhacking definitely adds an element of danger... Established trails are one thing but trailblazing is a whole different animal.
Sep 17, 2021 7:07 pm
...and speaking of animals, trailblazing increases the odds that you will be someone else's lunch.

Sorry it took a couple days. Installing a new security camera system in the hotel I work at, and have been putting in overtime late into the evenings to run CAT6 cable, and installing the cameras, and getting everything set up and communicating to it all.

Very good for the paycheck. A bit problematic for the spare time to post every day. Things are mostly back on track, and I should be back to my daily posting habits again.

Let me know when you're done, I could use someone to see about improving the quality of my home internet. I can pay you in copper pieces.
