Near as I can tell, you're right.

If you win the grapple check, poof, no grapple, you get your usual round of actions.

If you lose, you're grappled, and can spend your round trying to get out of the grapple by means of more grapple checks or escape artist or what-not.

I know I'm on vacation, but here's a couple of tips

To deal with the wraiths will probably require you to ready actions at this point to blast them when they show their faces. They can't attack you unless they can see you and you should be able to blast them right when they appear, before they attack.

However, you guys on the eastern sniper team really might want to take out James? He's kinda doing like 30 and 40 damage each turn. It's very distressing.

Okay, here's a theory and a strategic suggestion.

Theory: I said we hadn't seen the last of Shadow Andre during the last Book, and I think that's who just dispelled some of Kuzan's buffs. If he's hiding in dark territory, of course we wouldn't be able to see him.

Suggestion: We can't deal with the wraith while it's hiding in the walls, so let's ignore it until we can draw it out of hiding and focus on James. If Andre, Otto and Lia run to the balcony, we can take a few shots at him. In my case, I feel strongly about using the little creep as point A in an Arc of Lightning, with the big blood elemental as point B. People currently between those points might not need to worry; a greater elemental's plenty big, so the Arc should pass over your heads.

Right, NT?

Sound good, guys?

Fine with me. I'm also going to explode the Blast Globe this turn so that it catches the elemental and Schroedinger, if I can do that without nicking any PCs in the bargain--it's a 20-foot radius.

Incidentally, presuming I want to do more than five-foot stepping it, does the spellwraith get an attack of opp against me if it's stuck in the wall?

Rock of the Fraternity · Thu Jul 16, 2009 12:08 pm

Don't worry; it can't make an AoO while it's inside the wall; no line of sight on anything but cheap mortar.

Incidentally, can anyone use this round to bring some serious harm to Shadow Andre on the endarkened balcony before he takes out more of our buffs or conjures an army of ghouls?

Anyone who wants to blow holes in the blood thing or the nasty cat thing that keeps stopping me hitting it, is fine by me...

Already on it! ^^ Just keep your fingers crossed that it bombs its Reflex save ..

[OOC: 30 on the second check to break the grapple.

As this takes the place of an attack, If Sascha full attacks he can hit the kitty three times first with his gauntlet before attempting to break the grapple right? If so I'll edit to include the attacks]

Schrodinger gets a 35 on his grapple attempt.

You can try and attack, or you can make more grapple escape attempts. For the record, Schrodinger's next three grapple checks are.... 19, 20, and 30.

Or you can hit him with a gauntlet on the nose, or if you escape, with your sword.

Ok well Sascha just made a 31 vs kittys 19, Im guessing that means he's out then?

I'll roll the remaining 2 attacks here, that way you can adjudicate whether he made it out.

1. 19 +10 +1 haste +2 Good Hope + 2 Inspire Courage + 6 Smite -3 PA = 37
2. 13 +20 +1 haste +2 Good Hope + 2 Inspire Courage - 3PA = 35

Damage:

1. 1 + 11 + 2 Good Hope + 7 smite +6 PA = 27
2. 7 + 11 + 2 Good Hope + 6 PA = 26

As Kuzan pulled a close wounds, any chance that means Sascha can act this round?

Isabella · Post by **Isabella** » Fri Jul 17, 2009 4:19 am

It's an immediate interrupt, so yeah. Kuzan also healed Sascha, meaning he could act anyway - all Close Wounds means is Sascha never fell over.

Nice!

I'll edit my post in abit for a rounds worth of action goodness...

The Whistler · Post by **The Whistler** » Fri Jul 17, 2009 7:32 am

All right, I'm dying to do this somehow...if Tomas can escape from grapple and get out of the way, what are the mechanics behind dropping that chandelier on Cruor?

Rock of the Fraternity · Fri Jul 17, 2009 8:11 am

Fun as that sounds, what about the sniper currently in our collective faces? I think you have the best chance of dealing with him. o_o;
