<Saif> So Judd, this mean you found a new job?

<Saif> Hey Galen
<Saif> trying to get set up here. things are a mess
<Castinar> hehe --- I'm the one who just moved --- thats my line

<Thengal> Hi everyone
<Kat> New house
<Kat> great
<Amber> new new or used new?
<Castinar> Used new --- couldn't afford a new new <VBG>
<Saif> Here's a new program to write - something to allow people to re-arrange the buttons on their taskbar.
<Castinar> Very good condition though --- recently remodelled. Just got tired of renting
<Saif> Since we're kind of lite tonight we'll start as soon as Seth gets here
<Castinar> Hmmm.... I might be able to do that
<Thengal> I hear you there Galen
<Drubar> oops seth will be late
<Saif> how late?
*** Drubar is now known as Matar
<Amber> now the fun begins and the yard work never ends!
<Matar> im guessing 9:30
<Amber> <g>
<Saif> You're central time?
<Matar> the gf just dragged him off for dindin with the rents
<Matar> aye
<Thengal> What is that in GMT??
<Castinar> I know I could right my own windows program --- but it wouldn't be as (dis)functional as MS Windows <G>
<Matar> say an hour and a half
<Saif> OK, I guess we'll get started then.
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> First on the init sheet - Shadow
<Saif> so what does Shadow want to do
<Saif> ?
*** Matar is now known as Shadow
* Shadow drows drow and moons the bad guys!
*** Shadow is now known as Matar
<Castinar> Umm... forgot about that part didn't I?
<Matar> ugh
<Castinar> Will arm a +1 arrow and fire
<Matar> s/d/t
<Saif> s/d/t?
<Saif> K, roll to hit, W
<Castinar> ?
<Matar> nm
<Matar> its substitue t for d
<Castinar> db
<db> Castinar rolled 1d20: [15]
<Saif> remember to put your +s in
<Castinar> looking
<Saif> * 16
<Castinar> slow loading
<Saif> so 31...
<Saif> much larger now
<Saif> oh... that's something I haven't loaded yet (the "slim" web page converter for Office). I may need to do that before I refresh the grid
<Castinar> I'm showing +14 -- where the other +2 from?
<Saif> I've got 15 on the sheet, +1 for the arrow, checking...
<Castinar> >30', no?
<Castinar> Yep -- +1 for arrow -- but thought was using the >30' THAC0
<Saif> ah, that's what it is
<Castinar> (or whatever THAC0 is now <G>)
<Saif> so +15 for 30, which still hits
<Saif> roll damage
<Castinar> db d6+1
<db> Castinar rolled 1d6+1: [7]
<Saif> #$@ gotta run upstairs, brb
<Castinar> (only firing once to see effect)
<Saif> back
<Saif> that arrow hits the creature. a tiny flake of stone chips off but the arrow doesn't stick in.
<Castinar> Hmmm....
<Saif> @ Amber?
<Amber> *question..are those 10' squares on the map?
<Saif> ### Instead of typing "So-n-so what do you want to do" each time I'm just going to type @So-n-so to request an action.
<Saif> Yes, 10' squares.
*** Ted has joined #nightbelow
*** Thengal has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Amber> if so, then AMber moves her 5' then casts Protection fromevil on Capt. Narlan - touch, lasts 6 min, asking him not to move while she protects him a bit.
*** Ted is now known as Thengal
<Saif> K, updating
<Thengal> Did I miss much?
<Matar> just your death - but it wasn't very exciting anyway
<Thengal> Ahh np
<Saif> @Kat?
* Kat sees the poor results of Shadow's arrow and prepares her bow with a +2 arrow and fires at O2.
<Saif> roll to hit
<Kat> db d20+15
<db> Kat rolled 1d20+15: [28]
<Saif> roll damage
<Kat> db 1d6+4
<db> Kat rolled 1d6+4: [6]
<Nikki> hey
<Nikki> brb
<Saif> * Shadow has better arrow stats than Kat?!?
<Saif> Same thing happens. A tiny flake gets knocked off, but the arrow doesn't seem to do any permanent damage
<Thengal> *heh heh
<Saif> @Castiner?
* Castinar casts soften earth stone stats:
<Castinar> Range 45', Area 5 10' squares
<Castinar> target
<Castinar> d6 - d10
<Saif> oops... hold on a second, I think I had something wrong...
<Castinar> 4' deep
<Saif> Yup, had it wrong. Both Shadow's and Kat's arrows do damage. Kat - do you want to fire a +1 instead?
<Kat> yes
<Saif> BTW - which target where you guys firing at?!
<Castinar> #1
<Kat> #2
<Saif> OK, Cast's spell goes off, updating
<Nikki> Wanted: 6 figure salary for unix admin/manager of 24x7 operations
<Saif> Cast - duration perm?
<Castinar> *Instantaneous, so permanent
<Saif> K, there is now a long muddy patch in the middle of the room
<Saif> Nikki does something defensive
<Saif> @Matar?
<Matar> delay action
<Saif> K, M delaying for D
<Saif> @T?
<Saif> You here, Ted?
<Thengal> Double move action 30' to f10c and readying shield/axe while moving. Will save partial action until
<Saif> f10c, updating
<Thengal> end of round (for the boots)
<Saif> so you delay until the end of the round for your partial action? That will rest your init.
<Saif> reset, not rest
<Thengal> Shouldn.t be a delay, say I can take that partial action at beginning or end of round
<Saif> Or do you ready?
<Matar> * its not a delay - thats a full round - this is just a ready
<Saif> Ah, ok
<Saif> so flexing the partial action, check
<Thengal> Yup
<Saif> Diana casts Haste on Matar... finding the stats and updating...
<Saif> @Matar?
<Kat> *Saif, update Kat's attack. With Diana's Cat's Grace, Kat's att went up +2
<Saif> Kat - updated
<Saif> Matar - your action?
<Matar> DM to f8c, free action draw katana (1H full O), ready shield while moving, ready action to beat up bad guy
<Saif> K, matar has a readied action to attack anything that comes within range
<Saif> the monsters now move
<Saif> they move quite slowly, only covering about 20'
<Saif> #1 steps right into the softened area but doesn't seem slowed down much by it. #2 skirts the edge.
<Saif> #1 appears to be heading towards Matar, #2 towards Thengal
<Saif> 1 makes it to D6b, 2 to D11a
<Saif> Sane does something defensive
<Castinar> hmmm... hoped it would trip and fall or something... :-}
<Saif> end of round - Matar and Thengal, what do you do? you've both got about 20' between you and the monsters
<Matar> im not sure that readying really works like that
<Thengal> Move to e11c (still 10' away from them.
<Saif> Matar - you can hold on to your Delay, but the monsters won't get to you before your init comes up again.
<Saif> Thengal - check
<Matar> ill keep my readied action
<Saif> Actually it doesn't look like anything will change for Matar whether he holds the action or not. His init will still be at 9 now, regardless. The only way it would improve is if his trigger happened before his init next round.
<Saif> K, updating map and grid.
<Amber> *Saif, 4' deep mud, does that come up to the golems ankle?
*** Missy has joined #nightbelow
<Thengal> Hey Missy
<Missy> hello
<Nikki> hi
<Amber> hi
<Kat> hi
<Saif> just a sec, having connection problems
<Missy> Eric says hello also
<Missy> not here physically - but you know the story
<Castinar> hehe --- at work?
<Thengal> Say hi to Sigurd for us
<Missy> will do
<Missy> stuttering or laughing Cast?
<Missy> and yes
<Saif> ### OK, map and grid are up. While you guys are checking that out I'm going to close down my Office programs and install the HTML exporter. The grid file is huge.
<Amber> *on limited memory tonight, can't go look. :(
<Saif> ### Back - any questions?
<Amber> *Saif, 4' deep mud, does that come up to the golems ankle?
<Saif> * Mud comes up about to the knees
<Amber> ahhh! thanks
<Castinar> Eh -- who is shadow on map (letter?)
<Saif> Cast, make a ... hum, a check, let me see which one...
<Saif> Shaodow is W

<Kat> *Ari will be here in a sec
<Saif> Cast - make a spot check, please (remember to add in your bonus)
<Castinar> db d20+11
<db> Castinar rolled 1d20+11: [18]
-> *Castinar* now that you've seen these things move, you suspect that they are actually elementals, not golems
<Saif> OK, moving on to round 2
<Saif> @Shadow?
<Castinar> double move to d3A (straigt to e3A then up 10')
<Saif> done
<Saif> @Amber?

<Saif> k
<Matar> do you get 3 shots or was that a follow up for the crit chance?
<Saif> @Cast?
<Kat> *Saif, my second arrow was a 20
* Castinar shouts out (just loud enough for all to hear) -- Beware --- they're not Golems, they're Elementals of Earth --- then breaks out in Terran -- trying to distract their attention "Stop your attack -- there is no need!"
<Kat> ####Saif, my second arrow was a 20
<Saif> Ah, so it was
<Saif> roll the threat
<Kat> db d20+14
<db> Kat rolled 1d20+14: [22]
<Saif> that hits - what's crit on an arrow? x3?
<Kat> yes
<Matar> of course the other question is can these be crited - i know undead cant, not sure what else
<Saif> checking a couple things...
<Castinar> nope
<Castinar> not subject to stuns, crits, poison
<Saif> yes, they are immune to crits

<Matar> ick
<Thengal> How underwhelming it all seems
<Saif> Diana... isn't here. Just a sec...
<Matar> thengal is the 3e Castinar!
<Thengal> *ROFL
<Castinar> LoL
<Saif> * How about a Prayer spell from Diana? Or do you want her to hold on to that?
<Saif> Or a MM?
<Castinar> Man --- we should've switched to 3E 4 years ago!
<Saif> brb
<Castinar> check
<Castinar> prayer sounds good
<Matar> actaully i kinda like see invis
<Castinar> *I can do that already --- if I come up with something, I can warn her
<Castinar> It also only affects her
<Matar> you have innate see invis?
<Thengal> Finslayer does
<Matar> ah
<Saif> So... Matar, you're going to be battle leader here since Sane is still out of it. What do you want her to cast?
<Matar> i guess prayer is good
<Saif> OK, Diana casts Prayer
<Saif> Everybody except for Matar, Thengal, and Shadow are affected
<Saif> updating
<Castinar> thats a +1 on all rolls for us, -1 for foes
<Matar> ugh icky range on that
<Matar> will you let her take a 5' step forward to maximise it?
<Matar> that should let her hit me too
<Saif> Roll a spellcraft check for her, Matar (just the d20, I'll find the modifier)
<Matar> db
<db> Matar rolled 1d20: [15]
<Saif> forget it, she's already a +21
<Matar> heh
<Saif> She notices the 5' and steps forward and casts
<Saif> @Matar?
<Matar> DM to d11d and then pa to strike at beastie
<Saif> * DM?
<Matar> Double Move
<Saif> ah
<Matar> db+19
<db> Matar rolled 1d20+19: [20]
<Matar> christ!
<Saif> roll...
<Thengal> Ouch
<Saif> Matar can thank Diana (and a really good attack bonus)
<Matar> what is the roll fer that now?
<Kat> *a plague
<Matar> thats a 1
<Matar> i miss
<Kat> * a plague
<Saif> is that with the +1 from the prayer?
<Matar> nope
<Matar> so 21
<Saif> A, a natural one, so that means it is actually -10, so 9
<Saif> and that does miss
<Missy> back
<Saif> ### you guys will have to help me catch those 1s and 20s since they won't be as noticable now that we're adding modifiers right into the roll.
<Saif> The monsters attack
<Saif> db d2
<db> Saif rolled 1d2: [1]
<Saif> The first attacks Thengal twice
<Saif> * AC 26 for Thengal
<Saif> db d20+12
<db> Saif rolled 1d20+12: [13]
<Saif> big miss
<Thengal> Correct, did #1 move over to me??
<Saif> oh, we were doing crit misses too
<Matar> that should be 30 with the haste or is that in there already?
<Saif> Matar, roll your crit miss threat above
<Matar> db
<db> Matar rolled 1d20: [16]
<Saif> db+13
<db> Saif rolled 1d20+13: [20]
<Saif> nobody fumbles
<Saif> * no, it is 2 that is attacking you, Thengal, just doing him first.
<Saif> second attack
<Saif> db +7
<db> Saif rolled 1d20+7: [25]
<Saif> just misses
<Thengal> No new haste spell doesn't help ac
<Matar> sure it does
<Thengal> ok
<Matar> He gains a +4 haste bonus to AC
<Matar> You lose it whenever you would also lose a dodge bonus
<Castinar> yep unless he lost his dod.....eh.. nm
<Saif> the other elemental does a double move towards Castinar (which is what he should have done last round... duh)
<Saif> putting him right in front of C
<Thengal> Yes I see it now, so temp AC is 30 for me
<Saif> And Sane does something defensive
<Saif> That's it
<Saif> Updating map and grid...
<Thengal> Actually I forgot to mention that, I can use dodge feat vs #2
<Kat> *Sane is very defensive - He makes our prisoner invisible?
<Saif> K, map and grid are updated
<Saif> Thengal - K, remind me of that whenever I swing at you
<Saif> In general I'm going to want you guys to track any number that is a temp number, so things like Thengal's Boots of Speed and Dodge.
<Saif> Kat - nope, Sane is essentially a non-player.
<Kat> *k
<Saif> db 4d20
<db> Saif rolled 4d20: [43] 9 16 8 10
<Thengal> ok
<Saif> Round 3
<Saif> @Shadow?
<Castinar> move to E4A and fire a +2 arrow at #1
<Castinar> db d20+16
<db> Castinar rolled 1d20+16: [26]
<Saif> * If you move to F4A you'll be within your 30' range
<Saif> Also note you're attack will be at -4 since 1 is in melee combat with Castinar
<Castinar> Yup -- but can't --- um, nm forgot can move full and fire
<Saif> K, that hits
<Saif> roll damage (as less than 30' and with +1 for Prayer)
<Castinar> db d6+5
<db> Castinar rolled 1d6+5: [9]
<Castinar> +1 for prayer
<Saif> k
<Saif> @Amber?
<Amber> guard and listen to room where old man went.
<Matar> * shadow doesn't have precise shot?
<Saif> Amber, listen check please
<Castinar> no
<Amber> db d20+6
<db> Amber rolled 1d20+6: [21]
<Matar> how tall were these thingies?
<Amber> forgot listen bonus was 5 last time, added +1 prayer
-> *Amber* you hear that rustling sound up on the balcony again - this time from the other direction
<Saif> Matar - 16'
<Saif> ish
<Saif> @Kat?
* Amber calls out "theres movement on the balconies! " in common
* Kat will continue to rapid fire, but upon #1 and listen for others approaching. (Or, do you have to use Precise shot and not use Rapid Shot or what?)
<Saif> let me check... should be able to use both
<Castinar> can use both I think
<Matar> ah DM call then - if your target (or the part of your target you're aiming at, if it's a big target) is at least 10 feet away from the nearest ally, you can avoid the -4 penalty. (page 124 top left column)
<Saif> yes, can still do the rapid fire. Precise shot is an "always on" type of thing
<Kat> +1 arrows
<Saif> roll
<Kat> db d20+14
<db> Kat rolled 1d20+14: [16]
<Saif> misses
<Kat> db d20+14
<db> Kat rolled 1d20+14: [18]
<Saif> misses
<Kat> db d20+9
<db> Kat rolled 1d20+9: [28]
<Saif> hits
<Kat> db d6+3
<db> Kat rolled 1d6+3: [9]
<Saif> k
<Saif> @Cast?
<Thengal> Not that it matter, but that was a 19 you rolled Kat, do arrows threaten a crit on a 19?
<Castinar> Most feats are extraordinary abilities -- according to 126, using an extraordinary ability is usually not an action becasue ... happen in a reactive fashion --- those eo abilities that are actions are usually standard actions that cannot be disrupted, do not require concentration, and do not provoke AoO --- decriptions of these abilities note any exceptions (pg 126 PH)
<Castinar> so should stack
<Castinar> Cast will ready Fin and Shield
<Saif> k
<Kat> *Thengal, no and Kat doesn't have the feat that would make it so
<Thengal> ok
<Saif> <Oh, come on, a city CRAWLING with drow and probably fishfaces and you find THIS to fight? Harump.>
<Saif> Nikki does something defensive just as something unexpected happens
<Castinar> <It wasn't my choice --- besides, I didn't want to chance you mistaking Ari for an enemy in the heat of battle>
<Thengal> <Arrogant weapon if ever me knew one
<Saif> * reading something real quick...
<Matar> * War and Peace?
<Kat> * Gone with the Wind?
<Castinar> Mists of Avalon
<Kat> * Hobbit?
<Saif> * trying to find out how "dive" attacks are treated
<Amber> *here come the gargoyls..ugh!
<Saif> Diana is happily standing there, contemplating her next spell, when a winged figure slashes by her
<Castinar> Treat like charge?
<Saif> attaking her multiple times
<Saif> * that's what I'm thinking, but this isn't really from high enough to be a real dive, more of a fly-by attack
<Thengal> *actually is trated as grenade like missiles when the drow start throwing goblin servants at us
<Saif> Diana's AC is...
<Saif> 20
<Kat> * With the Pray?
<Saif> and the... gargoyle.. gets 4 attacks
<Saif> * yes, 19 on sheet right now w/o prayer
<Saif> db+6
<db> Saif rolled 1d20+6: [24]
<Saif> db+6
<db> Saif rolled 1d20+6: [22]
<Saif> db+4
<db> Saif rolled 1d20+4: [9]
<Saif> db+4
<db> Saif rolled 1d20+4: [17]
<Saif> both claws hit
<Saif> db 2d4
<db> Saif rolled 2d4: [4] 2 2
<Saif> and the bad guys draw first blood
<Saif> * their first blood, that is
<Saif> * actually, elementals don't bleed, neither do gargoyles, so they'll draw all the blood in this fight
<Thengal> No I think you had it right, I don't think these things bleed
<Saif> K, here's my question, does Diana get an AoO as it flies past her? In ground combat she would, but how about a flyby?
<Matar> theres a skill that prevents it
<Matar> ferget what it is tho
<Kat> *Is she threatening the area they came into?
<Castinar> I would treat like a charge I think --- if charge allows it, then flyby too
<Matar> at least there is a ride-by skill paladins get with their mounts that doesnt provoke an AoO
<Matar> pg 84 ride-by attack
<Castinar> Hmmm... charge doesn't allow a ride by anyway you stop when you attack thus no AoO
<Matar> its a feat
<Matar> i think munsters get something similar if they're buff enuff
<Saif> Which I would think a creature that mainly attacks by swooping down on its prey would have. We can discuss this further in e-mail, but for now fly-by attacks do not provoke AoO.
<Saif> moving on
<Saif> @Thengal?
<Thengal> Full attack on #2 and extra attack as well
<Saif> roll 'em
<Castinar> ride by do not either (the Feat)

<Thengal> db d10+8
<db> Thengal rolled 1d10+8: [13]
<Thengal> *much better
<Saif> #2 is now looking damaged (those two attacks did almost as much as all the previous ones)
<Saif> Unfortunately, #3 (the gargoyle that attacked Diana) isn't alone. He has friends. Several of them. They all swoop down now.
<Saif> Amber, Kat, and Castinar are all attacked
<Saif> oops, not Cast, Narlan
<Saif> Amber's AC is 24

<Saif> nice rolls, but none hit
<Saif> Narlan only has an AC of 16 (including both the P/evil and Prayer)

<Saif> Diana doesn't like being attacked, so she casts... what do you think, Matar, Mirror Image or Diligent Defender?
<Matar> well all the gargs arnt clumped conviently are they?
<Saif> no
<Matar> bummer
<Castinar> Defender more or less same as in 2e?
<Matar> then MI
<Saif> pretty much - has some nice defensive abilities that adds to her AC or can attack as they fly by
<Saif> K, D casts MI
<Saif> db d4+2
<db> Saif rolled 1d4+2: [3]
<Saif> she gets three images

<Matar> um i open up on this thingie
<Kat> brb
<Matar> did
<Saif> roll
<Matar> how do multi attacks work now?
<Matar> it's just -5 for second?
<Saif> with the haste you'll take your full attacks (20/15), then can take a partial attack at 20
<Thengal> Your extra attack for the haste is at same bonus as your 1st attack
<Saif> * I think I need monsters with better ACs
<Matar> ah okay
<Castinar> *Haven't you been saying that for 4 years?
<Missy> lol
<Matar> right so I'll be arrogant and power attack for 5
<Matar> db+14
<db> Matar rolled 1d20+14: [27]

<Matar> db d10+17
<db> Matar rolled 1d10+17: [27]
<Matar> hurm that doesn't kill it does it?
<Saif> With a sound more like a small earthquake than a groan, the elemental collapses into a mound of shattered marble.
<Saif> So, you want to take your Great Cleave on Thengal? <G>
*** Diana has joined #nightbelow
<Thengal> Ouch
<Diana> hihi
<Matar> i only need little cleave for that
<Diana> sorry im late
<Saif> that leaves you witha partial action
<Thengal> Hi Seth
<Saif> Hey Diana.
<Amber> hi
<Matar> does charge increase your movement?
<Saif> Matar can fill you in on the situation once he decides on his partial action
<Saif> erm...
<Diana> Date with the girlfriend, her dads birthday
<Castinar> 2x speed for charge
<Diana> he did, i just cast mirror image, looking at map right now
<Saif> you can double, yes
<Matar> ill charge this guy from the flank
<Matar> power attack of 8
<Saif> hum.. yes, you can charge as a partial action
<Matar> db+11
<db> Matar rolled 1d20+11: [14]
<Matar> bah
<Saif> even with the +2 from the charge that misses
<Saif> where exactly did you want to end up?
<Matar> and +1 for prayer and +2 for flank attack that still misses
<Matar> g8b
<Saif> * please add ALL bonuses in before you roll your attack
<Saif> that hits - barely
<Matar> sorry

<Matar> db d10+21
<db> Matar rolled 1d10+21: [25]
<Matar> * that's +12 norm +8 for pa and +1 for prayer

<db> Saif rolled 1d20+12: [25]

<db> Saif rolled 2d8+11: [19] 3 5
<Saif> Ow. That hurt
<Castinar> Yup
<Saif> 44 points of damage - 6 away from a possible instant death.
<Matar> doesn't that have to be one blow?
<Saif> ah, true
<Saif> not just one round
<Saif> and again, Sane does something while invisible
<Thengal> I thought it had to come from a single source
<Saif> end of the round
<Kat> *Isn't it 50% of your hit points in one round?
<Saif> questions? Updating map and grid.
<Kat> *too
<Matar> ugh really need to get Judd to update db to show both the roll and the total
<Amber> *are gargolys living or 'constructs'?
<Matar> the math is going to suck trying to figure threats and such
<Kat> *How far can one more and still attack?
<Castinar> living I think
<Castinar> Just not from this world --- from the elemental plane of earth
<Missy> sounds right to me
<Amber> k thanks
<Matar> Kat: you can move you full move and then take a single attack
<Matar> there are feats that much with that for ranged weapons tho
<Matar> er much = muck
<Kat> feats for moving and attacking with a ranged weapon?
<Kat> What feat?
<Saif> Map and grid are updated
<Matar> hmm might be thinking of mounted archery
<Saif> questions?
<Diana> Question: how many images do i still have left?
<Saif> 3 images, Diana
<Matar> ah no - shot on the run
<Diana> thanks
<Saif> OK, let's press on
<Matar> Saif: 1d4 + 2?
<Matar> dont think we actually rolled it
<Saif> Look at it this way - we're on round 4 and it's still fairly early. 3e seems to be moving faster.
<Saif> Matar - yes, and rolled a 3
* Castinar agrees
<Saif> So, @Shadow?
<Matar> just checkin
<Thengal> brb
* Castinar hesitates half of a split second, torn between helping Castinar and their rescuee --- decides to help the rescuee by sending 2 +2 arrows against gargoyle
<Amber> question is searing light a 1 person ray attack or several at once? spell unclear to me.
<Saif> Which gargoyle, W?
<Castinar> 3
<Saif> Amber - all rays are single target
<Amber> k
<Saif> roll, Shadow
<Castinar> db d20+18 (within 30, right?)
<db> Castinar rolled 1d-9+29: [22]
<Saif> ( AC is 16)
<Saif> what the heck was that?
<Castinar> eh?
<Castinar> I don't know!
<Castinar> didn't like the extra info I think
<Saif> roll again - as long as it isn't a one you're fine
<Castinar> db d20+18
<db> Castinar rolled 1d20+18: [34]
<Saif> hits
<Thengal> back

<Castinar> db 2d6+8
<db> Castinar rolled 2d6+8: [11] 1 2
<Saif> k
<Saif> @Amber?
<Amber> activate boot, hover, cast searing light - med range at nearest flying monster, ranged touch attk.
<Saif> Nearest would be #6, roll to hit
<Amber> db d20+9
<db> Amber rolled 1d20+9: [17]
<Saif> barely, but that hits
<Amber> i think for ranged?
<Amber> db 3d8
<db> Amber rolled 3d8: [14] 8 5 1
<Saif> * hold on, where are you getting the +9 from?
<Saif> your base melee attack is 5, +1 from prayer = 6
<Amber> ranged...sling/shuriken..oh, melee not ranged
<Saif> well - that is something I had a question about. What do you guys think, is a "ranged touch attack" the base missile or base melee?
<Matar> its missile
<Thengal> I would think missile
<Matar> its a ranged attack
<Saif> Ah, I'm thinking about AC and touch attacks, nevermind
<Saif> so 7 +1 = 8, which is a 16, which still barely hits
<Saif> 14 points damage
<Saif> is there a ST?
<Amber> none
<Saif> k
<Saif> @Kat?
* Kat moves to m7d and fires at 5 with a +3 arrow of return and listen for anything else approaching.

* Saif cheers for the gargoyle
<Saif> I think you have to declare what you're dodging against in your action... checking
<Matar> ya
<Castinar> sorry -- was checking to see if I had it

<Castinar> *Have him move under balcony?
<Saif> K, he'll move back
<Thengal> *that was the idea I had of rallying you to the corridor, limits the gargoyles options
<Saif> Note the balcony doesn't run along the back wall, so he moves to the right
<Saif> @Diana?
* Diana casts Magic Missiles at the one attacking Narlan (CT: 1 action, Range: 180', Damage: 4d4+4). She will use Concentration to Combat Cast (to avoid AoO).

<Thengal> Can I see whats down the corridor when the map is up pls?
<Kat> *What is left to attack? (map should answer this one)
<Matar> i should get an AoO if he tries to go swoop someone else - he is in my threatened area now
<Amber> *Diana, you plan on healing Narlan or should Amber?
<Thengal> He can probably use a heal from each of you
<Diana> * I can if amber is busy
<Diana> * I was also thinking of mming a gargoyle again, maybe kill it
<Kat> *Did one try to attack Kat? Did it slam into the wall when it did this swoop attack?
<Amber> Not busy now, was going t draw staff and ready it and hover over Narlan to protect him.
<Castinar> Don't think you were attacked yet, kat
<Saif> Grid and map updated
<Kat> *Are there any bets that Val comes back unharmed with Ari?
<Saif> There are still 4 gargoyles flying around
<Amber> *singed beard is all he'll have. :)
<Saif> Note that Narlan has run over next to the wall under the balcony
<Saif> He's looking down the hallway
<Matar> doh! havent been doing the glove!
<Saif> Kat - no, you were not attacked this round
* Matar spanks himself. It looks painful and yet.... er nevermind.
<Kat> *that's odd, I thought I moved Kat to m7d
<Saif> Matar - yes, you'll get your AoO unless he does a double move away from you
<Saif> Kat - yes, you should be at M7d
<Thengal> What's down the corridor?
<Saif> Thengal - walls and tapestries and lots of other things except for bad guys that look threatening.

<Saif> roll the threat
<Saif> that hits, so no fumble, but a miss

<Saif> If you miss on your threat then you fumble. Otherwise you recover. (kind of like a reverse critical threat)
<Matar> do my +'
<Matar> do my +'s count for it?
<Saif> yes, it's just like a normal attack
<Matar> ie should i be adding stuff

<Matar> db d4+1
<db> Matar rolled 1d4+1: [5]
<Saif> ah so

<Saif> so snap, crackle, pop, fried gargoyle
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> .
<Saif> All visible opponents are down.
<Saif> General actions now?
<Kat> "Let's get out of here."
<Thengal> GET OUT
<Castinar> check general health of all (specially aour friend)
<Amber> "run north the way we're supposed to go!"
* Kat will continue to listen for other foes
<Saif> The only one badly wounded is Castinar. Shadow is down a bit, as is Diana
<Saif> Want a new grid?
<Amber> Well, AMber will fly urging Capt onward.
<Matar> seth and i gotta run home - our ride is leavin. we got dsl tho so back in 10ish
<Saif> Thengal - I assume you shut off your boots?
<Castinar> Eh -- we don't have our escort any longer --- remembering what the old man said, he'll inspect everyone's "costume" making sure we look harmless again, then gets ready to lead our way out
<Saif> Matar - we might not be here, well we should be, but we'll be wrapping it up shortly
<Diana> later, be back in a bit
<Diana> ok
*** Diana has quit IRC
<Thengal> Yeah, I'll also give Cast my potion of healing
<Saif> Cast - you chug the potion?
<Castinar> Um --- got one or two already --- hold onto it, Thengal
<Saif> Diana - is gone. But I assume she drops her mirror images (that would be a little too suspecious)
<Thengal> OK, ye looks like ye needed it
<Castinar> heh -- good idea <G>
<Amber> *if were in 'disquise' again, Amber will turn off her boots. Used 5'min? time?
<Saif> Any other healing?
<Castinar> *Mielikki's magic helped some -- I'll hold the potion until its really needed
<Saif> Amber - less than a minute
<Amber> *gotta remember to keep track
<Amber> *oh, used to each round being a min. :)
<Saif> Party wounded: Cast 35/69, Diana 31/35, Shadow 40/58
<Saif> So you bug out?
<Kat> and listen
<Castinar> Yup
<Saif> OK, I want to do the end of this scene, transition, and set up for the next scene in e-mail (so I get it all right)
<Amber> yeah leave the evidence to the old man and mage fighting...they did it, not us!
<Saif> that means we're done for the night.
<Thengal> Not bad, got 5 rounds plus in only 3 hours
<Saif> * the old drow will show back up just long enough to get you guys out of the compound.
<Amber> I think it went pretty well, being new and all....and no fireballs!
<Castinar> Yup --- gonna have to consider something like this when I start 3E
<Saif> Any other questions or comments?
<Saif> Thanks to all those that were paying close attention to the rules and catching the little stuff. That's the only way we're going to learn.
<Kat> Do we get back safely?
<Saif> You'll get down to the docks. After that... who knows?
<Saif> Besides, we've got to let Kim have a chance to try out the 3e rules, right?
<Kat> *hint -- combat at the docks
<Kat> *hint -- bad move Saif. Kim hates combat.
<Thengal> Hmm underwater combat coming up?? could be fun
<Saif> * hint - Saif knows, that's why he's grinning
<Ari> I refuse to learn combat
<Castinar> I know that grin---- watch out, everyone <LOL>
<Amber> sa;ying my prayers already <G>
<Saif> I'm going to call it a night. I've got class again tomorrow since we missed out on Monday. Any last questions for me?
<Kat> * curse them all, Ari, just curse them all... wait... Ari kicks everyone in the shins.
<Ari> thtas what she will end up doing in combat. kicking in the shin
<Castinar> none here
<Ari> mostly kicking the DM in the shin
<Thengal> Nothing I can think of
* Saif has terribly caloused shins
<Saif> K, I'm outta here. Thanks again. We should have much the same experience next week, but with new friends to play with.
<Amber> night all
