A stitch in Souragne - OOC

[Guzrath]

Is it possible to have a simple list, during combats, with the round we are in and the actions done or to do?

I always get confused with all the posts, not exactly knowing which round we are in, when I can act or have to throw dice. And I don't want to bother by asking all the time.

[Rock of the Fraternity]

Sure. I try to sum up everything that's happened during the previous round on my turn of combat posts.

[Guzrath]

Quick question. A Natural 1 is an automatic fail right?

[Rock of the Fraternity]

Yes. I am very sorry but yes, it is.

As for finding out where the tentacles are -- they're not hiding, and you can see them reaching out of the Mists to grab the ship. Just walk to the side where you see them dip below the railing.

[Guzrath]

Ok.
I'll wait the AoO before describing the rest. And since the tentacles are easy to see, he looks around for a piece of rope lying somewhere or attached to something, assuming I can't hang over the railing to attack the tentacles holding the ship of course.

[Ail]

Fair enough, Tarlyn. I had forgotten he is an outsider and so the 'understands him' is meaningful per se
I was cracking my head trying to find the subtle meaning implied =)

[Baron Zamedi]

Quick question before proceeding, are the tentacles holding the ship in range for melee?

[Rock of the Fraternity]

You can either climb down the hull and try to attack them there (*snrk*) or run to the stern and attack them there, where they approach the ship. I recommend the second.

[Rock of the Fraternity]

I'm just waiting on Baron Zamedi's post before I put up the next round.

Guzrath, you're in luck: the tentacle does attack you when you get up, but it misses. Proceed.

Rock: your OOC says "dashing attack, but misses. see text" but no further mention of the natural 1 fail. Or was it a general remark?

In any case, what happens?

Rock, do you prefer we use offsite dice rollers or the site's new one? I think Ail made a good point earlier.

Whoopsies! ^^; Sorry about that. Yes, you fumbled your weapon, but by an amazing stroke of luck, it is stuck in the side of the ship, rather than having landed in the Mists. You can retrieve it after you've all made port.

The onsite dice roller is fine. Go ahead. ^^

A small, dark object falls out of one of the dissipating tendrils, hits the deck and bounces along until it comes to a stop against a water barrel.

Do we need a spot check or anything to notice the item that dropped out of one of the tentacles and hit the deck?

Nope.

I'm leaping ahead and snatching up the glob of whatever that fell out of the thing-from-the-mists. However, while I'm trying to pick it up and take a better look, I'm not so foolish as to just go touching things that came off something unknown and hostile - the boot, nudge, etc - if anything seems amiss, obviously I'm not going to put my bare hands on it. If there is anything to be immediately wary of (it bites, it's sticky, it bursts into flame, it starts singing), Wilbur will probably drop it. Otherwise, he's palmed it and is looking for texture, smell, weight. "Didn't your mother ever tell you not to just pick up things out of the gutter?" "You don't know where that's been."
