I told you, withdraw or something this turn and do it now so I can heal you and retreat myself. You're surrounded and you keep moving forward, AWAY from the people that can help you. Come back to me so I can more effectively give you a hand.

K Ishaq will use his belt to heal hiself some more, sorry guys. UNless Kuzan can heal him some more?

If you're good to run, now might be a good time for Kuzan to take off with Fly. Even if Charles successfully kills off that Ghoul Lord, he might be glad of an airlift out of his current location. And if he doesn't manage to kill the Ghoul Lord in one go, he should be doubly glad of some assistance ...

Thanks for the heal Yalenus, however Khalil did still have about a third of his hp left (he's got more than last book mainly due to throwing off the horror effect that was giving him an effective Con score of 8 and going up a level)

Still it was appreciated!

Ok I'll run for the Ghoul Lord then! 40 foot normally so that's quite a good distance I can travel

As decisions go, I believe this one is on a par with puking on a disguised Cavendish for someone who is not at his full health.

People who are not invisible or flying are Strongly Discouraged from running the gauntlet. You will take about a gazillion attacks of opportunity and arrive too late, to boot.

See, one of the reasons Otto has the best internal monologues is that his monologues are really dialogs.

Hehe, thanks. I figure if the guy thought in parallel to begin with, then this is the logical progression of that. I have fun with it, anyway.

I would like to nominate Charles for delicious XP cake.
Best sneak attack EVER.

Aaaaaaaaaand CUT!

Alright, combat is over, I'll advance the scene a bit when I get back from classes. The zombies and ghouls will now start chowing down on each other, so pretty much you should be fine if you don't provoke them. Charles is still invisible, so I advise he gets out of there.

===============================================

Now! Feedback! How did the combat go? Someone asked for more monsters?

For the record, I am going to violate my usual commentary rule and state that a second combat, like this one, will not be happening. The interplay of masses of troops, cannon, very large map, and a vast number of NPCs is simply too much work. I spent almost two hours per post, whereas my usual combat post is an hour.

I may try another 'wave' style, although it'd probably be without NPCs (or more than a smattering), and with a much smaller map.

Rock of the Fraternity · Mon Sep 08, 2008 3:20 pm

This combat was both a logistics challenge and a logistics nightmare. The map size was the greatest hindrance, I think, to resolving this battle more quickly. If the ship had been easier to reach, I think several of us would have piled on the ghoul lord as soon as he revealed himself, and would have made short work of him -- and with him, the cohesion of his crew.

All in all, this has been quite the experience, a very challenging fight -- but I'm rather glad we won't see its like again.
