The Eye of Anubis: OOC Thread

Shamelessly interrupting the flow of thought with another finished piece.


Dieter and Kuzan flying

OK so unless there is a really good reason, the rat will indeed venture forth into the mine, to scout, as it were.

[The Whistler]

Water indeed. Ahead of you, the mine took a sharp dip down, angling into dark, murky black water. It was icy cold, and you wondered what more was down there.

...

...Neo, you *know* how much trouble we had with the stream, back in Ravnika. This is adding insult to injury.

STREEEEEAAAM!!! I SHALL HAVE MY VENEGANCE UPON YOU YET!!

*cough*

Technically, I'm only adding insult to insult right now. You haven't reached the injury yet.

Sorry about the links to the images breaking. My domain ran out and I must be getting notices sent to an email I never use or something cuz I didn't realize it. Getting things in order ASAP, though, so I should have things up and running again in a day or two.

"Sodding water. If there's one thing I've come to loathe more than fire, it's sassy bodies of water." Andre watched Tomas heading into the depths...and then had a brief shudder. "Tomas..wait a moment."

Words traveled from Andre's lips at a quick pace, as he gazed intently at the water.

Detect Magic on the water. Because well...it could be evil magic water.

This is up there with the black squirrel....

This is not evil magic water. It is the cold, underground type of water. It may give you pneumonia, but it won't curse you.

Having recently gotten over a case of Pneumonia...I'd say that qualifies as the water being evil.

Website is back and running! Hurray!

Better to be safe than sorry in our case. You never know where evil lurks or Cavendish for that matter!

As mentioned, it is basically fourteen DC 10 Swim Checks, one per round. (each one moves you 30 feet, as in, a double-move at half-speed due to swimming)

If you fail the swim check, basically, you don't move forward.

You can hold your breath for Con Score x 2 rounds, after which you start making Constitution Saves every round. DC 10 the first, DC 11 the second, DC 12 the third, etc. If you fail one, you start drowning, with all the attendant fun.

Thankfully, the water's not quite cold enough/deep enough to cause hypothermia.

Aid Another means someone is pushing a person along, helping them out, however using the Aid Another means you're not moving yourself as quickly as possible, so both characters only move 15 feet that round instead of 30 feet.

Constantly Aiding Another means that the total number of rounds will be 27 rounds, which is a bit of a problem for anyone without a good Constitution Score.

Haste, Water Breathing, and anything that increase Str or Swim is going to be of extreme use.

Hmm.... and after writing all of that, I just realized that none of you have a strength penalty, so it's kind of moot.

Bah!

[Rock of the Fraternity]

Okay, I need to get some rest, so here is a breakdown of Lia's offer of magical assistance:

Five folks can get Haste in addition to herself,

Fly either on Lia or someone else willing to play aerial artillery or prepared to get between the kids and the opponents,

Invisibility on someone willing to go over and pull a sneak attack on Cevdet Tarik and/or one of his followers,

Magical artillery services to the tune of one Fireball, two Magic missiles and two Scorching Rays; Lia will be buffing herself with Mage armor and Cat's grace if she has time before the battle begins.

That said, I need to go get some sleep now. See ya, y'all ...

[Nathan of the FoS]

Oooh! Invisibility, please! Charles will only get to use it for about six seconds, but they're six very important seconds.

[The Whistler]

Ooh, I kinda wanted it...planning on flying to within sneak attack range unnoticed, then busting off three shots before anyone's the wiser. Don't want to bogart all the spells, though...what's your plan?

[NeoTiamat]

Since Rock has gone off-line, but has offered the spells, this is how I'm going to propose the pre-battle buffing for Lia.

Haste to Lia and the five direct type, to wit, Tomas, Khalil, Charles, Otto, and Ulsaon, since Kuzan and Andre are more back-row dwellers.

Lia also get's Cat's Grace and Mage Armor on herself.

Fly and Invisiblity.... Might I propose one person get each? Say, Otto gets Flight and Charles gets Invisibility?

Any objections? If there aren't, this is what I'll be assuming in my battle post.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, in order to gain any benefit from surprise round/flat-footedness, you need to actually attack before my battle post. Said post will come in about four hours.

[The Whistler]

Sounds cool to me; I edited the post so that Otto isn't requesting invisibility anymore. I'll post my Awesome Midair Death Charge (TM) in a few hours, after I get back from a basketball game.
