OOC Thread

As posted here, wind conditions are favourable.

Ha! I missed the exclamation point, read that as 1 sentence, and assumed you'd simply switched two words accidentally. In other words, I thought you meant wind conditions will be more favorable later! LOL!

Okay, so Torden definitely casts Fog Cloud.

Ah, too funny. I was posting just before getting in my car to commute to work, so I typed hastily. Fog Cloud coming right up.

So other than the sheriff and her brother, how many others are there in the cages? If it's five or less I may just have Pageflap use feather fall if the guards notice us. It would burn a spell, but they would be safer faster if they start shooting at us.

I'm struggling to update folks! Many deadlines colliding. Post might not happen today. Thanks for your understanding.

Torden heard you, and he agrees, but I couldn't think of a way to incapacitate the guy hurrying down the stairs. Unfortunately, the range on Hold Person is only 60ft. I don't suppose these offensive spells can be made to deal nonlethal damage?

Wearing scale mail, I couldn't trust myself to roll well enough on Stealth to get in close. Should've thought of boosting stealth with Guidance. Well, too late now. :-(

What direction is the guards that's 115ft away? Is he on the other side of the wall? I'm having a bit of trouble visualizing it and am wondering what are the chances of someone below noticing if several guards are suddenly set ablaze.

Included a badly drawn diagram as reference, red stars are the guards. Top is north.



Ryvid and Kit's scene is happening inside the keep. There aren't a lot of windows to see a fire, but it is reasonable to assume guards who survive long enough to take and action may have some way of signalling for help.

Given that, I would've preferred to head west to close with the west guard while blasting the guy on the stairs. But it is what it is. Add it to my other poor tactical decisions.

@Jabes: I'll be sticking with the rule that only melee can deal non-lethal. Tough call, I could see it being entirely reasonable to do it the way you suggested. In some ways, I am aware that I am making it harder for you to be a good guy, but then the path of a hero has never been easy. I guess I like that heroes sometimes have to decide between their ideals and what is practical in the given situation. I know you'll be fine either way, but feel free to discuss more.

Yeah I don't buy a nonlethal Sacred Flame either. Looking back there were several, far more strategic ways I could have had Torden act this round, but none of them occurred to me before I posted. Just need to be smarter moving forward. :-)

Oops! Mistakenly posted out of turn. Deleted it. :-)

If you have time to repost, I'd be okay with it :) Strategy < Story

PS: thanks for your patience the last little while everyone! Had a chill morning where my wife took over the twins while I got to go for a bike ride and post from a patio while sipping coffee on a beautiful sunny day :) Will respond later! You guys are doing a great job.

Hey friends I'll be out of town Friday through Monday and don't know what my internet situation will be.

Hey everybody! Just wanted to announce that this upcoming encounter with the Night Lord is going to be this game's last scene. Defeating the Night Lord (or being killed by him) will complete the little story arc that we started in October. So, don't leave any gas in the tank!

Oh, I guess that means it's time for Ander to get Canthus back! It's pretty much the right time by the rules anyway.

Is the war horn the same one that sounded the first time we entered the village with the NightBlades as prisoners? Pageflap still has that sound recorded in his brain.

Also is it possible that Pageflap got his familiar back in the past 2 weeks?

The war horn is indeed one and the same! And familiar is also good to go.

I'm waiting to see what Pageflap has got planned. I'm not sure I'm following. Does he mean to draw the Nightblades so we can come in from the back to hit Gardren or something? Is there a back way? Damn, we should've gotten intel from the Sheriff.
