Out of Character discussion:

Yeah I think if Mal takes a step to the side, Loken takes a step rearward, Elmo makes the third side, Eltrezar a first line ranger defence line, Gilly and Angel further back, then we have a two layer range support incase one of the melee characters goes down

So you would like Elmo at S11 or S10?

Ah, I see what's going on here. Alright, I'll post later this evening.

That’s what I was thinking yes

Just a heads up for everyone; on February 18 I will be heading out of town, spending most of the day traveling halfway across the state to Billings for my daughters wrestling State Championships. Then I'll be sitting in a gym for the 19th and 20th for the tournament. Then driving home on the 21st.

So for those four days, things are going to slow down a bit on my end. I'll try and check in when I get to the hotel room in the evenings though, so hopefully we don't come to a complete standstill.

Sounds fun! Good luck to her!

Penalties stacked on penalties stacked on penalties... ain't got shizzle on a crizzle, as the kids say.

Lot of good that hit did, with my paltry damage. Just you all wait until I can case my arcane spells TWICE in a day!

Lol, they REALLY wanted wizards to work for it in BECMI

Looking at the spells and different durations, it seems like they wanted Wizards to be much less combat focused than other editions. I could have been running around these cleared rooms with Detect Magic instead of throwing daggers at Mal's back.

Man, that's a good idea! Maybe when we come back, do you have it in your book?

I haven't picked it up yet, nor has our glorious GM felt fit with providing me a scroll. I'm curious to see what happens when we return to town and collect our XP...

Don't remind me. All I can think of is all that sweet, sweet xp I lost with Alice :(

Didn't her mentors at the temple ever tell her that she should be playing a secondary role in melee rather than always rushing to the front? What is Elmo for if not to do the dirty work? Leave the hero worship for the gods to enjoy. It's not for us mortals. We're just too mortal.

Alice would never go for a secondary role, she was a soldier, first to die last to know why ;)

*Realizing of course that she was in fact NOT the first to die...

Back from my daughter's tournament; thanks for bearing with me. Back to rat bashin?

Back to rat dancin?

If you can hit them with a Burning Hands spell then we can all have bbq for dinner!
