*** Topic is 'More layoffs! Sysadmin available!'

<Diana> 1 roudn i think. let me look

<Diana> hi saif

<Matar> mornin

<Diana> yeah 1 round per level

<Matar> long gone then

<Saif> Hi all

*** Kat has joined #nightbelow

<Kat> hello

<Saif> brb

*** dshutton has joined #nightbelow

*** dshutton is now known as Amber

<Amber> hi, I made it. Don't know how long I can last with this icky cold but I'll stay as long as I can.

<Kat> hi

<Amber> Hi, have you seen the "Sword and Fist" book from TSR? Great stuff for fighters and monks.

<Matar> yup sure is

<Matar> they quality is lacking somewhat in the book tho compared to ph and dmg

<Amber> true. I did like the towers and stuff.

<Amber> floor plans that is.

<Matar> aye

<Amber> Looks like we're gonna have a battle royal tonight. All those magic resistent drow and BIG spider <G>

<Diana> drow arent magic resistent anymore, fortunately

<Matar> drow actually are much less cool in 3e then they used to be

<Matar> they had to balance them with the elves somewhat

<Amber> Oh, guess I'll have toreread the m. manuel again.

<Kat> Except for the drow that resisted the change, like Val.

<Diana> of course

<Diana> :P

<Diana> heh

<Amber> Should I use my one Silence spell on one of the robed drow?

<Diana> silence

<Amber> okay, will do

*** Castinar has joined #Nightbelow

<Kat> hi

<Amber> hi

<Castinar> Hello

<Diana> but cast it on a point in space or object, so it doesnt get cancled by a will save

<Matar> it's gonna be a somewhat dull reunion if the GoH doesn't arrive

* Castinar rubs his eyes

* Matar rubs some alcohol into Castinar's eyes.

<Castinar> Um --- is my clock off or are we early?

<Amber> I was thinking their robes but they [robe] still gets saves only a lone object by itself doesn't get a save

<Matar> 7 mins late unless the time got changed

<Saif> back

<Castinar> clock must be running slow

<Diana> Lets see...

<Amber> guess it will be space just in front? ie. most of 15' is in front...

<Kat> reading email from Saif

<Castinar> Saif, you saw Ted was TDY, right?

<Diana> ice storm followed by fireball im thinking

<Diana> give em an old hot cold one two punch

<Amber> oooo! goody :)

<Matar> what's TDY stand fer anywho?

<Amber> Then all that steam...

<Castinar> Temporary DutY

<Matar> ah

<Diana> for all those reservists right?

<Castinar> Well, them too, but us actives go TDy a bit too --- some more then others

<Diana> ah

<Matar> i knew the sense of it but couldn't put a tla to it

<Saif> Yes, saw Ted take off (again). Reminded me why I'm not active duty.

* Castinar nods

<Castinar> Heh --- wasn't that your original career?

<Saif> No, I've been Guard all the way, but I was active duty for training for almost three years and got caught up in Desert Shield/Storm during that time.

<Diana> bleh, Ice storm isnt that cool a spell. only 5d6 damage :(

<Diana> although, no saving throw, so thats nice

<Castinar> seems as lots of the spells got devalued in 3E

<Amber> yes, no save is good.

<Saif> I don't have the new fighter book yet. Once I do have it I'll read through it and get back to people like Matar who have already tweaked their characters <g>

<Amber> for them that is.

<Diana> hehe

<Diana> we spent alot of time on matar's character :)

<Castinar> FF no longer gives any combat bonus --- however, + side is it does cancel concealment due to darkness and blur type effects

<Castinar> That is out in Feb, no?

<Saif> BTW, my actions may run a little slow tonight. I didn't get as much prep work on the drow done as I had wanted to.

<Diana> its out now actually

<Castinar> Really? Oh --- gotta go to bookstore tomorrow

<Diana> although finding it can be a challenge, it sold out fast here

<Castinar> There is something in Feb that I wanted

<Matar> actually i think borders released it ahead of time

<Matar> something wicked hasnt gotten it at all yet

<Amber> here too, good thing I had a hold box for that kind of thing.

<Diana> ahh wierd

<Castinar> And Psi supp comes out in Apr I think --- at 160 pages, its not a only a supp tho!

<Diana> wow...

<Matar> tho i think it was thur that SW was supposed ot get it

<Matar> too much time at home

<Castinar> I gotta find a regular game store here --- right now gotta rely on bookstore

<Castinar> Hmmm, Game HQ Inc. tourneys and on-site gaming, --- gotta look that up tomorrow

<Matar> bleh our "regular game store" is a mystery book store that carries rpg's, comics, and anime on the side

<Castinar> Ohohohoh--- theres one just down the street from me ---

<Matar> http://zone.msn.com/bejeweled/

<Matar> for those of you not already addicted

<Diana> bah, marbles for the macintosh is better

<Diana> Debbie has been playing that for a month now, non stop it seems like :)

<Matar> hmmm where is that at?

<Amber> Avernum II for Mac is great!!! Been playing it since Xmas and still only a third thru it.

<Diana> let me ask er

<Amber> IBM version due out in a month or so, they're working on it now.

<Castinar> started hitting BG2 last weekend --- havent really played it until now

<Saif> I have yet to decide how I'm going to spend my Christmas game money. I'm leaning towards FFIX.

<Matar> save it for NWN

<Saif> NWN?

<Saif> BTW, I haven't fixed the grid yet, so downloads will still be slow

<Matar> neverwinter nights

<Saif> ah, neverwinter? Isn't that an online game?

<Matar> uyp

<Saif> We're big into saving $$$ right now since Jamie didn't work at all last month. No fun online games for me for a while. :-(

<Matar> actually will be an eveloutionary leap in online gaming if they do all they promise

<Matar> dont think it will be a fee type game

<Saif> So where is the Guest of Honor? You guys come to rescue her and she doesn't even show up for her Rescued Party

<Matar> its still several months from release at least anyway

<Matar> she's running from combat

<Saif> Not fee type? That will be interesting to see how they do it.

<Matar> kinda like tribes if you've played that

<Saif> nope

<Matar> peeps can set up their own servers and run their games and stuff on them

<Matar> there will prlly be "offical" ones too

<Matar> i dont actually know all that much about it - seth and his bro are the fanatics that have been drolling over it for over a year already

<Saif> Ah, is this the one Seth was excited about last year, where you could script your own games?

*** Castinar has quit IRC (Ping timeout)

<Matar> ayup

<Diana> please dont get me started...

<Diana> ill angst all night about it :)

*** Castinar has joined #Nightbelow

<Castinar> Oops sorry

<Matar> oh btw GRIP is a nice tool that may be what yer lookin fer instead of whiteboard - ill see if i can find the url fer it this week

<Castinar> Computer lockup

<Matar> it supports maps and chating and stuff

<Diana> i still have a beta app for GRIP somewhere.

<Matar> havent seen it since an early beta tho

<Castinar> another I was going to mention is......

<Saif> K. I've got one program Judd recommended downloaded, but I haven't tried it out yet. I don't think it will have the real-time whiteboard ability I want.

<Castinar> drat --- I have it on computer but can't find it<G>

<Kat> You can make free calls over the internet too

<Diana> yahoo!

<Diana> he

<Saif> Hey Paul - what was Kim's yahoo messenger address again?

<Kat> I wonder if you can confence everyone into one call

<Castinar> Hmm... I'll have to lok it up later. Might be on other computer ---but had whiteboard, chat, private rooms/message capabilities

<Kat> Yahoo?

<Saif> That would be great - but no chat logs <g>

<Kat> I don't think she can Yahoo

<Saif> Isn't she on yahoo? Or was it another. I've got four of the stupid things loaded.

<Kat> She has AOL Instant Messenger

<Kat> and she is online

*** Ari has joined #nightbelow

<Kat> KymmiAnn

<Diana> evil!

<Saif> Ah, let me pull that up then

<Diana> ICQ rules!

<Saif> oh wel, never mind

<Diana> hi ari! :)

<Kat> ICQ crashed on me too many times

<Ari> hello

<Ari> Saif, I just read the last post

<Ari> since I still dont know comabt can I go now?

<Diana> true dat

<Saif> I was hoping Judd or David would show up and take Thengal. Both said they would make it.

<Saif> If you want to abandon your companions to face your personal enemy, sure.

<Diana> no you cant go, we have to love you and hug you and welcome you back :)

<Saif> * BTW, I don't know if you remember this or not, but Venom was the one who kidnapped you.

<Ari> I think I can remember that far back Saif <G>

<Kat> that was way far back

<Saif> * I wasn't sure how many times I mentioned her name - if it had stuck or not

<Kat> months ago

<Ari> anyone know anything about NC?

<Saif> It's above SC, right?

<Diana> North Conneticut?

<Diana> hehe

<Ari> yeah but um...can I go now? I really haven't a clue as to how combat works

<Castinar> What are your ICQ addresses? Mine is 3212390

<Saif> Ah....

<Ari> well sheesh..if you guys don't know anything about it <G> guess I can't try and move there

<Diana> simple, well ask you for die rolls, and then tell you the results :)

<Saif> ICQ 28759796

<Kat> wow

<Kat> what a high number

<Matar> 44673814 and 1256152

<Diana> 9205538

<Castinar> hmm... still waiting for authoriztion from you, Saif --- no idea how long I have been waiting <G>

<Diana> and another one, but id have to look it up

<Matar> me too at work

<Amber> whats all the numbers for?

<Kat> such high numbers

<Diana> my home one is lower

<Amber> what's an ICQ?

<Castinar> Instant messagin program

<Saif> OK, got you three added back in

<Amber> oh, shrugging ignorance of computer overload.

<Saif> ### So, you guys want to make Jax nauseous and do the reunion scene, or get straight to the combat?

<Diana> hehe

<Amber> snicker

<Diana> I wuv you man!

<Kat> Does Ari have any armor?

<Kat> weapons?

* Matar rushes over at the sight of Ari and gives her a big hug forgetting that he is much stronger now.

<Saif> Ari has a set of bracers... which I haven't added to the grid. And she has a cloak and a long sword

* Ari snickers at Diana

* Ari treats Matar to her 'Tharg-return-hug'. It's getting pretty good.

<Castinar> back

<Diana> * that return hug is sorta a defensive kick in the balls measure i assume? :)

* Kat gives Ari a big hug too, even if Matar is in the way

<Ari> *lol! no it is NOT

<Diana> Dogpile!

<Castinar> LoL

<Castinar> Group hug!

* Ari gives hugs out all around

<Castinar> Flashes of Barney here

* Diana would start crying, sadly, making Jax turn green im sure.

<Ari> An extra big hug for Sane because she knows how much he hates it

<Matar> "I'm so glad you're alive! Are you okay? Did they treat you right?"

* Amber walks up, bows to ARi "Glad to see you. Sorry I really didn't understand. Now I have some idea." ANd then looks like she wants to give her a hug...

<Ari> "Oh yes. Treated me very well." Ari rolls her eyes.

* Castinar examines her closely --- what healing does Ari need?

<Ari> *I'm a cleric. you think I need healing?

* Ari lets Amber hug her.

<Saif> Ari needs rest and a few good meals, but she doesn't need healing

<Castinar> A cleric who has been brutalized for how long? Without rest, good sleep, meditaiton, and praryer time?

<Castinar> prayer time that is?

<Ari> well yeah..but still...I'm a cleric who can heal without spells

<Ari> she prayed all the time

* Amber murmurs "thank you." and blushes and steps back a tear slowly rolling down her cheek.

* Ari holds Kat's hand, not letting her go just yet.

<Saif> keep talking, brb (kids pretty hyper tonight)

* Amber watches ARi's friends gathering around her, glad to see her well and ready for anything.

* Kat gives Ari another hug. "It's great to see you."

<Ari> "I didn't think you would come for me."

<Kat> "Do you know who took you? Did Val get hurt saving you?"

<Ari> "I really thought this would be my final resting place. Well, on an altar to Her at any rate. Those things are so damn uncomfortable."

* Castinar looks longly at Ari --- I would risk everything to rescue any one here that was subjected to such --- a fate

<Amber> "Are you kidding? Of course we'd come or die trying." AMber starts to say and then shuts up.

<Ari> "Venom took me. For the bounty, for me just being well..nevermind."

<Castinar> *we still might, eh Amber <VBG>

* Amber nods

<Amber> and then grins

* Ari smiles at Castinar.

<Castinar> "Who -- who <is> Venom?" *OOC: Can't remember

<Castinar> *know I've heard the name --- IC or OOC I don't know

<Kat> "She was the drow that vanished with Ari."

<Ari> "Works for Merra. She was in the party that took me. The people you fought.."

<Saif> * I don't know if you guys ever heard her name, but she was the one with the Slavers who kidnapped Ari. The drow you killed may have mentioned her name at one point.

<Castinar> "Yes, I know that --- but she and Ari seem to go back a bit longer than that encounter"

<Kat> *I think a few of them said her name. The dead guy said her name.

<Castinar> <nod> Thought I had heard of it from before that combat

<Kat> *At least it was on the battle grid.

<Castinar> *Then, my question is all the more --- who <is> she that she is so interested in Ari

<Matar> * Ari's spurrned love

<Kat> "Is there anything you can tell us about the rescue? What happened?"

<Ari> "Well, bounty hunter...she is working for Merra...hates my guts on general principle."

<Saif> * she wasn't a bounty hunter, she was one of Merra's daughters

* Kat gives a stare at Castinar, "Where have you been. Don't you remember, I guess you don't. There are bounty hunters out after Ari

<Ari> "Well, K'harn and Jax came and rescued me. Got me out of the temple. That is about it."

<Ari> *whatever

<Kat> "Is the house that wanted you destroyed?"

* Castinar shrugs "I got the impression that this was more than a simple bounty. Heck --- I am quite sure there are bounty hunters after me too --- or the Duergar equivalent"

<Kat> "They still might be after you and now us."

<Ari> "I can only pray it is Kat. Then again, if it is I have no shot at the unholy matron who did this to me in the first place." This clearly does not sit well with Ari.

* Amber adds, "and I was stupid enough to say my name when we rescued Capt.Narlan, so i suppose they'll be after me somewhere along the way."

<Ari> "She's also a daughter Cast."

<Kat> "So, what's next? When can we leave? We can talk more on the bioship."

* Castinar nods "That explains a bit then." Castinar thinks to himself quietly, then says "If that is the case, we need to be wary --- despite the little "war" that is going on, any from that house might seek to escape. It has been known to have been done before. Drizzit --- well, lets just be careful."

* Amber "very careful."

* Ari bites her tongue at Drizzit's name.

<Saif> * done?

<Amber> *looks like it...I think.

<Diana> * bring it on! :)

<Matar> time to squash a spider

<Saif> OK

<Saif> the party heads upstairs

<Saif> Venom shows up

<Diana> * ass is then kicked

<Saif> makes a rather nasty deal with a demon lord

<Saif> and a huge spider appears in her place

<Saif> blah blah blah

<Saif> .

<Saif> Initiative rolls - remember to add your modifier in

<Saif> .

<Kat> db 1d20+9

<db> Kat rolled 1d20+9: [29]

<Kat> *anything special with a 20 on init?

<Castinar> db d20+7

<db> Castinar rolled 1d20+7: [13]

<Matar> db+3

<db> Matar rolled 1d20+3: [10]

<Amber> db d20+2

<db> Amber rolled 1d20+2: [14]

<Matar> *you go really fast

<Diana> db d20+2

<db> Diana rolled 1d20+2: [9]

<Diana> gah

<Saif> * OK, I don't think I have a 29 on the sheet. I should make Kat roll again.

<Castinar> db d20+5 (shadow)

<db> Castinar rolled 1d20: [4]

<Castinar> Ug -- that should be 9 for shadow --- didn't add in the mod

<Castinar> +9 init? I love monks <G>

<Kat> *Hey, do we get an action in the last round, like pull weapons out and get ready for battle?

<Castinar> *Like while she's contacting demon lord?

<Saif> no, everybody starts reacting this round (they have to start reacting too)

<Saif> Theng:

<Saif> db d20+1

<db> Saif rolled 1d20+1: [5]

<Kat> *So, what's up? Rangers are surprised like everyone else now?

<Diana> yah, suprise is in the eye of the DM now, no real official rules for it

<Castinar> Of course --- Rangers were wiped out in 3E

<Saif> It's just the set up for a sample combat. Stop sweating the minor details.

<Kat> *minor detail?

<Kat> *ok

<Saif> Ari - I need K'harn's roll. She's +9

<Saif> Actually I need Ari as well.

<Saif> Ari:

<Saif> db d20+2

<db> Saif rolled 1d20+2: [15]

<Saif> K'harn

<Saif> db d20+9

<db> Saif rolled 1d20+9: [17]

<Saif> .

<Saif> ### OK, I need second rolls from K'harn, Amber, Matar, Diana and Shadow

<Saif> .

<Diana> db d20+2

<db> Diana rolled 1d20+2: [8]

<Castinar> Init?

<Amber> db d20+2

<db> Amber rolled 1d20+2: [9]

<Amber> ick!

<Saif> * Yes, tied inits, just rolling second time to see who first in that count

<Castinar> db d20+5

<db> Castinar rolled 1d20+5: [18]

<Matar> tie break should be dex bonus first

<Matar> db d20+3

<db> Matar rolled 1d20+3: [12]

<Castinar> Just FYI Saif --- pg 120 of PH says players go in order of Dex in tie init rolls

<Saif> Yeah, I know, this is easier since I don't have firm stats on most the bad guys

<Saif> db d20+9

<db> Saif rolled 1d20+9: [20]

* Castinar nods

<Saif> OK, working on the init table

<Saif> .

<Saif> ### Combat.gif updated with init table on it

<Saif> check it out, see where your character's at, then we'll start

<Castinar> yikes they really devalued FF

<Saif> Questions before we get going?

* Castinar is ready

<Diana> rdy

<Saif> ### K, everybody's status is they aren't carrying anything and they have nothing in their hands (or packs of clothes and stuff you can drop as a free action). Everybody is aware of the spider and all eight drow.

<Saif> You are several hundred feet from the bioship. The Dark Stalkers are fighting the kuo tao at the end of the pier, several hundred feet beyond that.

<Saif> The closest wall is about 50' behind the drow. The ceiling is a good 50' high.

<Diana> * Combat Empathy Message? What are we doing? fighting or running? :)

<Saif> Lighting is indirect, but people can see.

<Matar> saif do you know what the bull's str roll was?

<Castinar> *bioship in which direction?

<Saif> * Combat empathy isn't running. It expired while you guys were trudging through the sewers.

<Saif> Matar - hold on, I'll figure it out.

<Diana> ah ok

<Saif> Cast - off to the lower left.

<Castinar> k

<Saif> Matar - it only raised you 1 point (went from base 15 hit to base 16)

<Matar> that doesn't look right

<Matar> min would be 2 str which would be +8 which 2h is +12 so should be diff 2

<Matar> er for damage i mean

<Matar> hit is prolly right

<Saif> I'm just going off of the change from your grid to your sheet. You could look on the chat session log from about three chats ago.

<Saif> ### Last chance for questions...

<Ari> all thise numbers on the map are the bad guys right?

<Ari> *those even

<Saif> Yes

<Saif> ah, I meant to put notes next to their numbers about them. Will do now and will show up on next grid

<Saif> .

<Saif> ..

<Saif> And the combat begins

<Saif> .

<Saif> @Kat?

* Kat will ready bow and fire at nasty spider creature number 1. <+2 arrow at Vemon>

<Saif> roll

<Kat> db 1d20+18

<db> Kat rolled 1d20+18: [19]

<Kat> db 1d20

<db> Kat rolled 1d20: [17]

<Saif> possible fumble

<Saif> um...

<Saif> not a fumble

<Saif> but a miss

<Saif> .

<Saif> Drow 3 draws a rapier and begins moving to his...

<Saif> to his left, down to...

<Saif> I17a (double move, readying weapons while moving)

<Saif> .

<Saif> Drow 6 readies a bow

<Saif> And fires at...

<Saif> db d2

<db> Saif rolled 1d2: [1]

<Saif> Ariessus

<Saif> db d20+10

<db> Saif rolled 1d20+10: [20]

<Saif> Hits

<Saif> db d6+2

<db> Saif rolled 1d6+2: [8]

<Saif> .

<Saif> Drow 9 starts chanting something...

<Saif> and vanishes

<Saif> * BTW, if you look real close you'll be able to find him on the grid, but that is very much OOC knowledge

<Saif> .

<Saif> @K'harn? (Ari?)

<Saif> Ah, she just left to go deal with her son. K'harn will cast Stoneskin on herself

<Saif> .

<Saif> The big thing hisses loudly and moves forward

<Saif> It stops with its head at N11, right in front of Shadow (double move)

<Saif> .

<Saif> Ari

<Saif> cast Sound Burst (looking it up)

<Ari> I gave yo the info..sheesh i'm not totally inept

<Saif> ### Ari, you back? What was your target?

<Ari> just cast it on the bad guys far away from the good guys

<Matar> they're out of range

<Ari> *and you said combat was easy <glare>

<Saif> They are out of range (range for you on that spell is 70')

<Ari> *whoi IS in range (I hate combat)

<Ari> of me

<Matar> isnt it 50'?

<Matar> +5/2?

<Ari> i'm getting my sowrd out and sticking someone with it

<Matar> venom is

<Saif> the big spider who is already right next to Shadow (so you might get both Shadow and Castinar in the spell radius if you tried it)

<Ari> fine..ari draws and sticks the spider. I amnow going for tea

<Saif> Ah, per 2 levels, yes, 50'

<Saif> K, Ari draws her sword while moving over to attack the spider. She then attacks.

<Matar> hmm think she went fer tea

<Saif> Ari, d20+1

<Saif> wait, that's not right...

<Matar> db+8

<db> Matar rolled 1d20+8: [18]

<Saif> D10 +11 plz, Ari

<Saif> db d10+11

<db> Saif rolled 1d10+11: [15]

<Saif> misses

<Saif> .

<Saif> @Amber?

<Matar> d10?!?

<Saif> *oops

<Saif> db d20+11

<db> Saif rolled 1d20+11: [31]

<Saif> that hits

<Matar> threat

<Kat> *20

<Saif> db d8+3

<db> Saif rolled 1d8+3: [10]

<Saif> threat: db +11

<Saif> db +11

<db> Saif rolled 1d20+11: [26]

<Saif> threat hits

<Saif> no, wait, that's a miss, sorry

<Saif> but the hit hits and damages the spider. It turns and hisses at Ariessus

<Saif> .

* Amber casts Silence on #9's robes. range long, 1 act, duration 6 min., 15' radius, will save, sigh and SR/dang! switches to #8 when 9 disappears.

<Saif> OK, now @Amber?

<Saif> Amber - 9 is invisible

<Saif> ah

<Saif> Casting it on a person's clothing is just like casting it on them

<Castinar> yep, thus the will save

<Amber> yes, i know...figure they will move...hoping for save

<Amber> not making it.

<Saif> OK, d20 for spell resistance (d20 plus caster level, right people?)

<Amber> think so.

<Kat> yes

<Amber> or was that 11+levels

<Saif> k, roll it, Amber

<Amber> db d20

<db> Amber rolled 1d20: [17]

<Saif> no, just a d20 plus your level

<Amber> oops

<Saif> * remember to add in your bonus

<Amber> db d20+6

<db> Amber rolled 1d20+6: [19]

<Saif> db +10

<db> Saif rolled 1d20+10: [25]

<Amber> bonus?

<Castinar> spell level + caster level + 10, isnt it?

<Saif> What's your Difficultly Class, Amber?

<Amber> aahh. heck if I know...let me check

<Saif> * I'm looking at description for the spell Spell Resistance - it shows d20 + caster level.

<Castinar> *Mean for DC

<Saif> No, wisdom bonus + spell level + 10

<Amber> oh, wis bonus is +3

<Saif> I really doubt if her DC is higher than 25 - but remember that's something that needs to be passed along with your intention to cast a spell.

<Saif> So will negates

<Saif> .

<Saif> Drow 4

<Saif> does a double move while readying his raper, ends up at H6b

<Saif> .

<Saif> @Castinar?

* Castinar moves to N11A (5' move) , readying Fin and shield (two weapon prof allows both) and attacks spider

<Castinar> *Single attack

<Saif> roll to hit

<Castinar> db+12

<db> Castinar rolled 1d20+12: [17]

<Saif> * Actually you don't need to move. His face is in N11a

<Saif> misses

<Castinar> *k

<Saif> .

<Saif> Drow 8

<Saif> casts a spell

*** Castinar is now known as Shadow

<Saif> .

<Saif> Dorw 7

<Saif> pulls out his bow, readies it, and shoots at...

<Saif> changes his mind and swings out to G17b, behind drow 3

<Saif> .

<Saif> @Matar?

<Matar> q: how much space is the spider taking up?

<Saif> 15x15

<Ari> *wheres Ari's mother when you need her?

<Matar> is it in the 10 or 12 part?

<Saif> Just put an X to his side to show that

<Saif> in 11 and part of 10

<Matar> so ill flank him at l12c?

<Saif> Yes

<Matar> hmm thats a touch more then 20' tho

<Matar> acting now

* Matar moves to m12a readying shield and quick drawing katana while moving and stirking at 1 with power attack 4, 1H offensive, glove on

<Matar> db+16

<db> Matar rolled 1d20+16: [22]

<Matar> bleh

<Saif> misses

<Saif> .

<Saif> Drow 2

<Saif> move to J13b while readying his weapon

<Saif> .

<Saif> @Shadow?

* Shadow tumbles to Q13A (tumble as normal move, successful check vs DC15 allows to ignore AoO), draw bow, fire (one shot) at Drow 3 (no range inc)

<Saif> Just a sec...

<Diana> * gah, ive lost track of where all the drow are :(

<Saif> OK, I'm not sure about the tumble and getting out a weapon at the same time.

<Saif> It says "as part of normal movement", but not "counts as normal movement".

<Shadow> *Yep -- rereading it

<Diana> * in examples in the new supplement, they have some characters tumble and draw at the same time

<Matar> the table says with a regular move

<Saif> I'll let you try it, but you'll have to make a second DC check to successfully pull the bow out at the same time

<Shadow> k

<Shadow> first tumble check:

<Saif> So make the AoO check first:

<Shadow> db+10

<db> Shadow rolled 1d20+10: [11]
