The Eye of Anubis: OOC Thread

[NeoTiamat]

Alright, strange though it is to ask, I would like no one to take any more major actions regarding Tomas and the opening of the door. I have a post in the works, but time scheduling is being painful.

You can, of course, post your own reactions to Tomas opening the door and stepping outside.

Someone try and take out the dude on the other side of the courtyard or at least distract him so Charles can get position for flanking, Khalil cant get to him this round.

Okay, I recommend hitting that big Dreamspawn with the strongest spells available which won't also fry Tomas. In my case, that means I'm chucking an Orb of Force at it in the next round. (Yay! I finally get to use that spell! ^^)

You realize that firing a ranged attack into a grapple has a 50% chance to hit the person you don't want to hit, right?

[NeoTiamat]

I believe that I house-ruled it, after much badgering, so that when one grappler is a size-category larger than the other, then it's a 75% chance of hitting the big one, and a 25% of hitting the small one.

So! If you shoot at the Evil Scaly Thing, AKA, the Ennui, you roll a percentile. 1-75, you hit the Ennui. 76-100, you hit Tomas.

If anyone wants to dig out the specific house-rule, I'd be grateful.

I'm a bit light on spells that can separate two creatures engaged in a grapple, and I doubt anyone wants me to try and physically pull them apart. ^^; Slinging spells to hurt the big guy is all I can do. If you guys feel strongly about precautions, I can Magic Missile the ennui up a bit, first. If it keeps holding on, I can go for True Strike after that, before I do anything else.

In either case, it doesn't make sense to risk hitting Tomas unless you have to.

Orb of Force - "Globum vis in manu meu colligo. Globu vis, ad hostem meum vole. Globus vis hostem meum perfringet" - "I bring together a globe of force in my hand. Globe of force, fly at my enemy. The globe of force crushes my enemy." (Latin)

Well, and that is that for our first combat of the Book, it seems. Very impressive, everyone, you exceed my expectations (and provoke a frenzied flurry of me rewriting future encounters because you trashed this one in record time).

Now, let's watch Andre negotiate with the sanity-rending monstrosity, shall we?

[Rock of the Fraternity]

This is certainly not how I expected this fight to end ... o.o;

[yalenusveler]

Just a heads up. Won't be posting till about 6, 6:30 tonight. Had a meeting this morning, and have another one to go to in a few minutes. Apparently not only is Andre negotiating with a sanity rending horror....but I have to try and socialize one.

Fun times.

Fun times.

See!?! D&D prepares you for real life with valuable skills!

[DocBeard]

Cool, man, I will avoid causing more trouble until you get back to deal with that.

Sorry about this, folks, it's just a case of Tomas being enough of a good guy not to care if the blood under the door was probably a trap.

[Rock of the Fraternity]

Something good might come of it, so ... s'okay.
