The Eye of Anubis: OOC Thread

[Gonzoron of the FoS]

For the record, was "raindrops" the answer that Ivor was looking for in the "cicada" riddle?

[Nathan of the FoS]

I do believe so.

Yes, Charles ought to be dead. No, he's not sorry.

[Rock of the Fraternity]

Alrighty, shall we talk strategy? It would be nice if one person gets to do the concentrating while the others do their level best to keep Spite and Malice at bar, I am sure we can all agree.

I recommend one of our 'tank'-characters be the one to do the concentrating: they are less likely to be disrupted by abrupt physical damage. The rest of us can do our best to keep the sisters busy. In addition, I offer to hit whoever we choose up with Invisibility, to make them harder to hit.

[Kaitou Kage]

Kuzan's Concentration check is +14 and he can give himself a +14 bonus to the check if it becomes the plan. But he needs to cast the spell during the prep round.

[NeoTiamat]

Um, just to make it clear, half the trouble is getting to the candle, since Spite and Malice are going to be blocking you as best they can.

[Nathan of the FoS]

Charles will use this round to become invisible (and grab a fey-iron spike from Precious' collar); since he's got evasion a lot of area-effect things are less likely to be effective, and he's got a certain amount of protection against being dominated, so he's a reasonably good candle-lighter. (No ranks in Concentration, though.) It might be interesting to have three people next to the candle as quickly as possible, in case we can get a quick bite at the apple.

Who's good with Concentration? Andre and Lia, I presume? Anyone else?

I recommend casting haste, since it just about doubles the effectiveness of all our melee combatants and gives us better mobility (something tells me this will be important).

[Kaitou Kage]

*ahem*

Quite.

[Rock of the Fraternity]

Kuzan's our big man for concentration; he has a booster spell for it, too. I can cast Haste or give one person Invisibility; I intend to keep Greater invisibility for myself, so I can shoot the two Fey without them being able to retaliate as effectively -- I hope.

[Kaitou Kage]

I only get one shot at it and I have to use my prep round to cast it, but it's what I've got.

[Rock of the Fraternity]

So, if we start off with my casting Haste, what's next? Do we try and form a wedge formation, so as to drive the fey away from the candle? Do we put all our tanks on the outside and our casters in the center, then try and keep the fey out of the circle by firing spells from the inside of the formation and by virtue of the tanks fighting them at the edges?

If you cast haste, that's a good thing! Ishaq can get an extra attack when he does his full attack every round, right?

Yes, but the attacks have to do damage. It occurs to me that the sisters will probably have some awesome damage reduction ...

Ishaq can dish it out as seen previously, so this extra attack might help us survive!

Ishaq does some awesome damage.

Slight alteration--I'll cast invisibility on Kuzan. Haste has the nice property of giving all of us twice as much move, which will make it much, much easier to circle around the sisters as necessary. Does anyone have any good distraction spells or effects? Obscuring fog or suchlike?
