Session Start: Fri Jun 15 18:49:46 2001

*** Now talking in #Nightbelow

<Thengal> Only thing I'd change is to swap him and me out against the spiders/savants, with the spell resistances on me, but I can live with it

<Thengal> Hi Saif

<Saif> Nikki - you here?

<Saif> Hey Ted and Galen

* Castinar waves

<Saif> Interesting plan. We'll see how it goes.

<Thengal> Wait til you see what we come up with when it all falls down around our ears

<Castinar> Okay, the new mirc has a font option now

<Saif> Is that when you cast the "mass illusion" that the slaves look like the party and the party looks like slaves? <bg>

<Thengal> That's part of Nikki's plan, right before she boogie's out of there

<Saif> I haven't downloaded a mIRC forever. i guess I had better update that. I'm going to be reloading this computer soon when I upgrade it (finally!)

<Castinar> Up to 5.91

<Castinar> Just released

<Castinar> I missed the April release --- think I had the version before that

<Saif> I'm back on 5.82

<Thengal> Guess I'll need to upgrade soon too

<Castinar> I think that is 2 back (5.9 was last)

<Thengal> BTW, this is my last chat session until mid-July, heading to Turkey next week

<Saif> I'm sorry

<Thengal> I'm getting the nice TDY's this summer, 1 to Turkey and 2 to Crete. And I'll be home intime for E-GENCON

<Saif> now Crete I won't feel sorry for

<Castinar> Cool --- planning on being there (me either Saif) <G>

*** Kat has joined #nightbelow

<Saif> when is E-Gencon?

<Saif> Hey Paul

<Kat> hello

<Thengal> Hi Paul

* Castinar waves

<Kat> Gencon is August 2-5. I don't know when E-Gencon is.

<Saif> I won't be here the first week of August anyway. Family reunion.

<Castinar> Usually 1st week September

<Castinar> Our reunion is 19 July weekend

<Kat> Where is the family reunion?

<Castinar> I'll be away for that weekend

<Thengal> We'll need to make our reservations soon. I need to find exact days so I can update my leave projections

<Saif> Bear Lake - along the Utah/Idaho border

*** dshutton has joined #nightbelow

*** dshutton is now known as Amber

<Kat> Galen, are you going to be in the area around July 19th?

<Thengal> Welcome Diane

<Saif> Hey Ted, you're still at the 88th, right?

<Saif> Hi Diane

<Kat> Michigan, Detroit, Michigan, area, I mean.

<Amber> hi Thengal, hi everyone

<Thengal> I'll be just getting back from Turkey that weekend

<Thengal> Yeah, I'll stay here til I decide to retire

<Castinar> Can you make mine? I'll send the money as soon as I can --- the early bird specials going to expire soon

<Kat> Hi Diane

<Castinar> Yes, Paul --- 4 days probably

*** Ari has joined #nightbelow

<Saif> Hi Kim

<Thengal> Galen, sure, I'll take a look on-line and do that this weekend

<Amber> hi Ari

<Thengal> Hi Kim

<Saif> Ted - some nice kudos you can pass on to your SC shop. We just had the AIA Accreditation team at our unit. They said they had only felt "comfortable" with two units after the first day of an inspection - ours and the 88th. This is after 3 1/2 years of doing inspections. Of course, we're doing it with 1/4 of the people the 88th has. <G>

<Thengal> I'll pass that on to Tim Hodge

-> *Ari* I need any spell changes you do (I think Matar had you casting a bunch of Walls of Stone) and any that you cast before combat actually begins ASAP plz.

<Thengal> Siaf, you put on MSgt yet?

<Saif> Nope. I'm not pushing the military rank at all, since that's not my day-to-day paycheck. Right now I'm pushing for GS-12. I may get it once I get my Microsoft certifications. Of course, I probably won't be around long to enjoy it.

<Castinar> Don't talk about that --- I'm still depressed :)

<Saif> That's right, you guys have to test for that, don't you? <snicker>

<Castinar> We're worse than reserve/ANG --- only promoted 6 in my career field this year

<Castinar> And I was #7 in line

<Saif> But then again, the downside to the guard is the position I'm in. My slot only supports a TSgt slot. I wouldn't be here if they didn't have the GS ratings for us.

<Saif> Cast - ouch!

<Thengal> Yeah, Good luck, I'm at the point where next year will be my last test no matter what happens

<Kat> Does that mean that there was 6 better people than you or they are friends of senators or something?

<Thengal> LOL

<Castinar> I had to make up a heck of a lot of points on Time in Grade/Time in Service (my first time for MSgt) --- came 2.44 pts short

<Castinar> No --- 6 people had better overall scores --- mostly from their time in the Air Force

<Thengal> I haven't checked my scores yet, did you send me the website Galen?

<Kat> So, you don't know a senator that can give you 2.44 points?

<Castinar> My test scores were as good as/better than most

<Castinar> No --- was still down Ted

<Thengal> ok np

-> *Ari* Got your spells. hey, if I had to come inside you do too. <g> We were having a picnic out on our lawn.

<Castinar> Go to the AFMPC web-site, select Officers....

<Castinar> hmm.... forget the rest

<Thengal> I have a feeling, my scores are gonna be very similar

<Kat> Too bad, Galen. Good luck next time it comes around.

<Thengal> Yeah probably won't be up until Monday anyway

-> *Ari* and I take it you don't want to cast anything before combat begins? You've got a couple (like Magic Vestment, Delay Poison, etc.) that last for a long time.

<Castinar> I should make it next time --- just means I have to wait till May 2003 for the big raise

<Thengal> Yeah, same here

<Kat> Saif, does Greater Magic Weapon work on Dessy's Special arrows?

<Saif> reading description...

<Thengal> Of course if I don't make it next year, I'll just retire, come back to the States, and get a real job

<Kat> real job?

<Kat> What's a real job? Less stress if you work for the government, I heard.

<Saif> Kat - yes

<Thengal> Whatever I can find that doesn't force me to work in a box with no windows

<Kat> So, you are going to work on a golf course?

<Saif> Kat - do you have the description of Dessy's arrows handy?

<Kat> looking

<Thengal> Now that's an idea,

<Kat> just a search away

<Kat> I have a friend who hires summertime workers for lawn care

<Amber> Does that include diving for golf balls in the water hazards?

<Castinar> Come out to Tulsa and work on the course --- US open going on :)

<Amber> How's Tiger doing? Badly I heard.

<Thengal> Haven't seen

<Castinar> Last I heard, he was

<Castinar> I expect he'll come around thou

<Castinar> though

<Thengal> I'll be taking my clubs with me to Turkey, they got a nice course there

-> *Nikki* I need you to check with me as soon as you see this. I need your spells ASAP.

<Saif> * BTW, as soon as Nikki shows up and gives me her spells and Ari puts down her lemonade and decides what spells she casts early <g> we'll get started.

<Ari> *hey! I can go back outside and leave you to your fate yo know <G>

<Thengal> Is there a Combat map up yet?

<Saif> ### I need volunteers to play Matar, Diana, and Bohica - preferably take one that is different from the class of your primary character.

<Saif> Thengal - no, just the large map of the lair. I'm not sure if it is combat.gif or lair.gif

<Ari> not combat.. I got the worm stuff on combat

<Thengal> OK thanks, I Guess I can play Bohica

<Castinar> I'll go Diana I guess

<Thengal> It's lair.gif

<Kat> How long is a combat round compared to a minute?

<Thengal> brb, gonna get a coke

<Saif> 1/10th (6 seconds)

<Saif> So you'll see a lot of the spell durations as 85.4 minutes. It drops a tenth per round.

<Saif> Thengal and Cast - do you need anything on Bohica and Diana respectively, or can you go off the grid?

<Saif> Hopefully they won't see too much action early in the battle.

<Castinar> I'm looking, but can probably go off of grid

<Kat> "Ari, I have 30 normal arrows and 20 Dessy's Surprise arrows. Can you cast Greater Magic on them?"

<Castinar> Does she have any MIs of note?

<Ari> *nope..George had me drop greater magic for dimensional anchor

<Kat> *I asked you not to, :(

<Ari> *my ears were blocked what with all of George's demands <BG>

<Castinar> Hehe

<Kat> *Well, you can get into the thick of the fight and play Matar

<Thengal> I can probably go off the Grid

<Castinar> Personally, I thought having it was good idea

<Castinar> door

<Castinar> Want to keep the blasted mind-blaster from escaping

<Ari> I just do what I'm told like a good little drow

<Castinar> LoL

<Amber> cough, cough

<Kat> "Which is a good point. Ari, don't let the slaves see you."

<Castinar> I thought good little Drow did what was in their best interest?

* Castinar winks

<Ari> I WILL hurt you you know if you laugh

<Kat> HAHAAHAHHAA

* Kat leaps away from Ari

<Amber> ducking fireball...

<Thengal> Actually, I was thinking it was a flamestrike coming in

* Ari give Kat the evil eye and curses her to forever need to sing 'I'm a little teapot' inthe midst of battle

<Amber> lol

* Thengal ROFL

* Ari curses Amber and Thengal too

<Kat> I'm rubber and you're glue. Whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you

<Ari> Amber must sing 'Hokey Pokey' Thengal sings 'ring around the rosey'

<Amber> groan!

<Ari> I almost went for itsy bitsy spider amber <EG>

<Saif> getting close to starting

<Amber> sorry, don't know Hokey Pokey...:)

<Thengal> *You REALLY don't want Thengal to sing!!!

* Ari sighs loudly and with a put upon air teaches Amber the Hokey Pokey

<Amber> Hey! what a great idea ! all of us singing in battle and drive the enemy crazy! :)

<Ari> sheesh

* Saif presses the "record" button on the DM-Cam to catch the whole Hokey Pokey scene

* Ari is invisable to cameras and only Amber is captured

<Thengal> *Cast and Shadow would have a hard time of it

<Castinar> ?

<Castinar> Shadow would sound better than you!

* Castinar grins

<Thengal> True, but don't you still have a problem with your voice from getting your throat cut?

<Saif> ### So who's going to play Matar? I would prefer Amber or Ari, since Kat is already in the initial combat and Nikki is semi-busy brown-nosing the company president. :)

<Castinar> Yup --- that's why she would sound better :)

<Ari> AHAHAHA! Me play another chararcter. You're funny

<Amber> no thanks, the last time i did he almost died!

<Nikki> * you really want 3 fly spells?

<Kat> Don't you want to be in the mist of combat, Ari

* Ari kicks Kat

<Kat> missed

<Ari> you know I despise combat as it is

<Ari> Ari has boots of never-missing-shin-kicks

<Kat> unless it's kicking the shins of the dm

<Thengal> * And I wanted you to play Thengal for me when I have to go away again next week Kim

<Saif> Nikki - I think Matar wants some way for the "attack group" to move around rapidly. Haste doesn't last long enough, Ex Retreat is self only (as you pointed out), so his compromise was Fly

<Nikki> * shrug okey. its a lot of spell points but not too many for that i guess

<Ari> *I'll be away next week sorry <G>

<Ari> That reminds me Saif.. away next friday and the week after my inlaws are a'coming to visit. Looking to move near us maybe

<Amber> is that good news or bad news? :)

<Thengal> Sounds like a plot line for a sitcom

<Amber> lol

<Ari> give my 3 year old some family to have near

<Amber> and babysitter for free...

<Saif> Ari - check

<Ari> make sure its a big check. I need the dough

<Ari> *and yes..I am hyper. stop asking <G> had my first jolt of caffine in AGES

<Kat> *So, tonight would be a good time to play Matar.

<Ari> *AHAHAHAHAHAHA

* Ari kicks you hard

<Kat> *er, he's never hyper, so, I guess it would be a bad time to play Matar

<Ari> time to switch back to lemonade.. brb

<Kat> *So, Kim will play Matar to night. :)

<Castinar> what --- she's had no chocolate in ages?

<Thengal> *Kat, you better have LOTS of ice cream to bribe her with

<Kat> *I have ice cream sandwiches in the freezer

<Kat> *Now, how to get them to Va...

<Ari> bah.. chocolate doens't count. but no, I cut way back

-> *Kat* you want Matar? Nikki and Ari don't want him, and Amber's having problems with software.

<Ari> and all the ice cream is gone because some MALES in my house ate it all!

* Thengal LMAO again

<Amber> crush ice cubes and pour orange juice over it - instant icy

<Kat> *that would be Jon and Christopher. Let them know we said hi and hope they are out getting you more.

<Castinar> for their sake and ours :)

<Ari> no. they are watching a movie

<Ari> I'm ice cream-less

* Ari kicks Cast in the shin

<Ari> hum.. need to get harder boots

<Thengal> I have some Ice Cream for you Kim, but it'll take a while to get there from UK

* Castinar laughes --- he's got barkskin on and doesn't feel it :)

<Ari> I'll come and get it

<Amber> crush ice cubes in blender, the noise should drive them out of the house to get you some ice cream...

<Thengal> Cool

* Ari castas Warpwood on Cast. HA!

<Ari> THEN she kicks him with her blade boots

<Ari> gonna take Saif in letting me have those puppies soon <BG>

<Ari> if I can remember where I saw them drat it all

* Castinar wonders when Ari became a Druid?

<Ari> Ariis anything she wants to be at the moment. Caffinated ice cream-less Drow can do that you know

<Amber> thought blade boots were a thief thing?

<Ari> SSHH!!!

<Ari> what Saif doesnt know wont hurt him

<Saif> Ari doesn't need to be a Druid. She just needs to know a Charm spell to talk Castinar into casting "imbue with spell ability" on her so she can cast Warp Wood on him.

<Amber> who me? I didn't say anyting

<Ari> see, there you go!

<Saif> almost ready to go

<Ari> I feel like wandering off and playinbg BGII. can I?

-> *Kat* - do you want to play Matar tonight?

<Thengal> Charm an elf? this I gotta see

<Saif> no

<Kat> no

<Ari> damn

* Ari flutters her lashes at Castinar

<Castinar> Castinar doesn't get Imbue with spell ability :)

<Ari> charming I am darlin'

<Saif> I can't wait for that new game to come out - the one where you can design your own dungeons and have people play in them. I read a review on it in a magazine at the airport. Looks pretty cool.

<Castinar> Very good

<Kat> He hasn't noticed Shadow, what makes you think he will notice you

<Thengal> I'm playing IWD at the moment

<Castinar> Neverwinter Nights --- best game to come

<Nikki> thats what dungeon keeper was supposed to be

<Castinar> anyone like war-games?

<Ari> want to get IWD one of these days

<Castinar> Check out WWII online

<Thengal> Haiving fun with it, but it's pretty linear so far

<Saif> doing the last updates to the web page. Stand by...

<Ari> just killed off the drow in BGII I felt guilty

<Kat> So, when are all of you going to do the survey?

<Ari> when I run out of lemonade and dont feel like going downstairs and getting more

<Ari> or Saif makes mewhichever comes first

<Thengal> I was gonna do it tonight before the game, but I got called out to the pub

<Castinar> I sent mine --- got a laugh when I got that msg from Saif today, as I had sent mine in from work earlier today

<Castinar> I hadn't forgotten about it, just got around to it

<Amber> was gonna do it after chat or tomorrow morning. been busy and still thinking about my answers.

<Ari> I'm in the midst of doing it. got the first line written and everything

<Kat> Just like the plan, we'll send it in two weeks late.

<Thengal> Hmm, do a survey or go have a drink with a pretty blonde? what kind of a choice is that?

<Kat> Survey can wait, Ted

<Ari> easy choice?

<Thengal> Very easy

<Ari> see IUcan answer the hard questions

<Kat> I guess you made the right choice

<Ari> but I cant type. more lemonade! or soda.. hum..

<Kat> Who, besides Kim hasn't seen Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?

<Amber> me

<Castinar> me

<Ari> hey! you try going to the movies with a 3 year old!

<Amber> son saw it and like it.

<Thengal> I haven't yet, I missed it when it came out here. (Was TDY)

<Ari> last one I saw was Rugrats in Paris

<Kat> Saif, I want Kat to be able to fight like that, soon. How can we make that happen?

* Ari wanders off to ge see what BG II has in store...call me when I'm needed

<Thengal> I say sure, as long as Mykael can do the same in Galen's game <G>

<Castinar> soon as I see it, we can discuss it

<Thengal> I guess, I'll have to see it too, but the previews looked awesome

<Amber> Gads, I can't recall the last movie I saw in a theater! been at least 3 years. :(

<Kat> I think I'm going to watch it again while we wait. It's only a 2 hour long or so movie,

<Kat> It's on DVD, Diane. You don't have to see it in a theater

<Thengal> Last one I saw was X-Men, and that was when Galen was still out here

<Castinar> I'd pop in Traffic while we wait, but might get distracted

<Castinar> I saw Pearl Harbour on opening day

<Amber> no DVD...hummm, got Disney's updated Fantasia I haven't looked atyet.

<Thengal> Cool, we'll get it out here in about 3 months then

<Thengal> Did I tell you? I won a DVD at my last Christmas party, now I have 2

<Amber> wow! cool! How much do they run these days?

<Castinar> Cool! What model? better than old one? (which wasn't very old either)!

<Castinar> $200-$800

<Amber> hummm, anniversary coming up in Aug...time to start hinting...

<Kat> I have one in my laptop

<Thengal> They're getting cheaper all the time, I'm seeing adds for $150 or so. It's a Panasonic RV30PX, and yeah slightly better than my Pioneer

<Thengal> Yup, Birthday coming up in Aug too

<Saif> .

<Amber> well, happy early birthday! :) Will be our 36th anniversary

<Saif> back

<Saif> .

<Saif> grid is updated. Please check it out for correctness

<Saif> Kat - you'll be fighting like that tonight. You've got "Fly" cast on you.

<Kat> Kim, are you sure you don't want to play the leader of the group tonight?

<Kat> Saif, what is the web address of the grid?

<Castinar> it's coming up a blank page?

<Amber> someone call Ari, she's playing a game..

<Ari> the number you have reached has been disconnected. please hang up and stop calling!

<Ari> blank page here too

<Kat> http://www.bluearch.net/night/basegrid.htm

<Kat> ?

<Nikki> .msg saif so you're certain they're all going to die? teleport will work the way i said right?

<Saif> not basegrid, http://www.bluearch.net/night/grid.htm

<Castinar> its coming up blank Saif

<Ari> thats what I have it aat

<Ari> at

<Saif> Hold on, let me reload it

<Saif> ### OK, try it now

<Saif> sorry, not sure what happened

<Kat> ok, I will play Mr. Deadly with all of the spells on

<Castinar> got it

<Thengal> Looks good to me

-> *Kat* just sent it via e-mail

<Ari> I'm ok

<Castinar> Looks good here

<Thengal> db

<db> Thengal rolled 1d20: [11]

<Nikki> db

<db> Nikki rolled 1d20: [8]

<Saif> ### Everybody please join #Plan. I'm going to post Matar's plan in there once everybody shows up

<Amber> ???

*** Nikki has left #nightbelow (Nikki)

<Saif> type /join #Plan

*** Nikki has joined #nightbelow

*** db sets mode: +o Nikki

*** Ted has joined #nightbelow

*** Castinar has quit IRC (Excess Flood)

*** Castinar has joined #Nightbelow

<Saif> Hum, looks like that killd just about everybody <g>

<Ted> Yup

<Castinar> Hey --- your flood setting is set low!

<Amber> humm, I think I'm here.

<Amber> yep.

*** Thengal has quit IRC (Ping timeout)

*** Ted is now known as Thengal

<Kat> killed before the combat begins?

<Kat> that's bad

<Nikki> i win?

<Saif> BTW, all positions are going to be dislocated about 4 squares to the left. I moved the map across the grid to make more room on the other side (once the new map comes up, that is.)

<Saif> So, to make sure we're all OK with the approach.

<Castinar> ready

<Saif> You all stop around row AC and cast all your shorter-term spells (all those shown in pink on the grid)

<Saif> Then as a group you move up to row Z.

<Saif> From there C, M, T, and K move foward.

<Saif> C stops at row W and waits while the others, with H providing silence, move up and kill the derro in the small cave.

<Saif> That pretty much it for the first couple rounds?

<Thengal> sounds good, gonna hold off on activating boots till we hit the Barricade

<Castinar> Yes, except I move to v16d (out of direct LOF of trap)

<Castinar> instead of w

<Saif> Thengal - you are flying anyway, movement rate 60' due to armor

<Kat> Soundslike the plan

<Thengal> Check, will want the haste when we get to the heavy fighting thou

<Kat> make it so

<Nikki> afk

<Saif> OK

<Saif> let me set up the first map, then I'll tell you what happens

<Thengal> ok

<Saif> .

<Saif> OK, here's what happens

<Saif> Everything goes as planned

<Saif> up until Kat, Matar, and Thengal get into position where they can see the derro above the tunnel.

<Saif> To their surprise, instead of sitting around playing cards or talking, the three derro are all very busy.

<Saif> One is carefully removing the boards on the floor, revealing several large holes.

<Saif> Another is dragging a bag of rocks next to the holes.

<Saif> And the third is lighting a torch next to all the fuzzy balls laying on the floor.

<Kat> *how many fuzzy balls?

<Saif> Important note - due to the stone between this group and the party, Combat Empathy is not connecting the two groups

<Saif> About a dozen or so. Each about the size of a basketball.

<Kat> *Do the holes openning reconnect the Combat Empathy?

<Saif> The map is up with the current locations. Note that the map is shifted over. Also note the area above the tunnel (where the 3 derro are) is reproduced off to the side. that's just to keep the map a little clearer. For those in the upper section, please use those to-the-side coordinates.

<Saif> Kat - no, it's line of sight. If someone were standing right under a hole and you were above (or close) then yes, it would go through.

<Saif> So, questions?

<Castinar> none here

<Saif> Cast, d20 please

<Castinar> db

<db> Castinar rolled 1d20: [4]

<Thengal> No questions

<Amber> none here

<Saif> Shortly after arriving at his post, just after the others move off, Castinar hears a very faint tinkling sound from up ahead, apparently behind the barricade.

<Kat> so we didn't use up the improved invis wand.

<Saif> another d20 Cast

<Castinar> db

<db> Castinar rolled 1d20: [19]

<Saif> and another

<Castinar> db

<db> Castinar rolled 1d20: [16]

<Saif> He then notices movement behind the barricade

<Saif> and hears a creaking sound

<Saif> So, actions?

<Castinar> I'm still in CE with the rest of the lower group?

<Kat> Can we take these guys out, quickly?

<Saif> Yes, Cast still is

* Castinar sends a picture of a large crossbow being drawn and sends <duck>

<Amber> Amber is listening to back trail in case a patrol comes up.

* Ari pokes Nikki for fun

<Saif> Upper group - remember you are all invisible and silenced, CE is only basic emotions and intentions.

<Saif> Cast - so you could send back that you were very concerned about the barricade, but not "duck"

<Amber> *Flying near ceiling..

* Castinar does so

<Saif> Upper group (Kat and Thengal) do you attack, or what?

<Kat> Kat goes and attacks 2, Matar attacks 1, and Thengal attacks 3.

<Saif> OK

<Thengal> That's good

<Saif> Let's go ahead and roll for initiative. Everybody roll for themselves and whoevery they are NPCing tonight, including any bonuses which are applicable. I'll roll for the derro offline. Start rolling. (everybody)

<Saif> .

<Saif> OK, the map will be updated next round. for now the initiative in the upper area goes Kat, 3, Matar, 1, 2, Thengal.

<Saif> So, Round 1.

<Saif> .

<Saif> @Kat?

<Kat> flurry of blows on target

<Saif> roll to hit

<Kat> db +11

<db> Kat rolled 1d20+11: [17]

<Saif> hits

<Saif> * and which one are you attacking? 1?

<Saif> ### Everybody remember to include your "bless" bonus on your attack rolls

<Saif> roll dmg, Kat, and your other attacks

<Kat> #2

<Kat> db 1d6+5

<db> Kat rolled 1d6+5: [10]

<Kat> db 2d6

<db> Kat rolled 2d6: [8] 4 4

<Kat> db +11

<db> Kat rolled 1d20+11: [12]

<Saif> misses, possible fumble

<Saif> roll "fumble threat"

<Kat> db +11

<db> Kat rolled 1d20+11: [14]

<Saif> * is a fumble

<Saif> K looses her next attack and makes some noise, giving her approx location away.

* Saif pats db on the back

<Castinar> *?

<Kat> *damn db

<Saif> Kat, what's the 2d6?

<Kat> sneak attack

<Saif> ah, k

<Saif> 2 is banged up real bad

<Saif> * something else to remember is the ceiling is only 5' in here. Matar can't stand up. I think Kat will have to duck her head.

<Saif> 3 looks around wildly...

<Saif> He then runs over to the far side of the wall, unknowingly passing Katrina on his way. Kat gets an AoO.

<Saif> roll

<Kat> which bonus? +13?

<Saif> yes, basic

<Kat> db +14

<db> Kat rolled 1d20+14: [23]

<Saif> actually 14 with the... right

<Kat> *bless

<Saif> hits

<Saif> roll dmg

<Kat> db 1d4+5

<db> Kat rolled 1d4+5: [7]

<Kat> sneak?

<Saif> * do you get sneak attack damage on a AoO?

<Kat> * I don't know

<Saif> I don't think so, anybody know for sure?

<Castinar> looking but don't tink so

<Nikki> yes

<Kat> *We can worry about it later

<Saif> OK, we'll say now, but if we find something later we'll add it in

<Nikki> you get sneak attack anytime they dont get a dex bonus

<Thengal> I believe it's anytime the tgt doesn't know it's being attacked

<Kat> db 2d6

<db> Kat rolled 2d6: [9] 5 4

<Saif> 3 cries out in surprise and pain, but makes it over to the far wall, where he starts tugging on a small rope leading out of the room - Kat saw this when she was here before. It has a small bell on it.

<Saif> OK, so does apply.

<Kat> *Isn't the room silenced?

<Kat> *How come they get to move before Thengal and Matar?

<Kat> *Isn't this the surprise round?

<Kat> *I'm confused

<Saif> it will be once Hunter enters. Speaking of which, Cast, did you roll for Hunter.

<Thengal> Becaus I rolled bad init

<Saif> Ah, sorry, forgot surprise and the whole flat footed thing

<Saif> so they know something is in the room, but won't be able to react until their init count next round.

<Kat> aye

<Thengal> Cool

<Castinar> Hunter should've been riding Matar's shoulder

<Saif> So 3 is still OK, but also not furiously tugging on the rope

<Castinar> rolled him, checking

<Saif> On Matar's shoulder, check

<Kat> right

<Saif> Speaking of which, Matar's turn

<Kat> So, Matar has to attack 3 to get to 1 right?

<Castinar> Um, okay missed something --- changed nick to him but didn't roll

<Saif> Kat - it would be easier to have M attack 3 and T 1, since T can maneuver better in here

*** Castinar is now known as Hunter

<Kat> Matar will use Power attack, +8 for damage, so, that's +14/+9 for the attack?

<Kat> ok

<Kat> Matar will attack 3

<Thengal> Fine, as I go last, we can change to that

<Saif> He's 2-handed offensive, right?

<Kat> Matar will clear the path for Thengal

<Kat> Yes

<Saif> ah, and putting it on damage, I see. so yes, roll.

<Kat> Yes, 2-handed offensive

<Kat> db +14

<db> Kat rolled 1d20+14: [25]

<Saif> * the scary thing is matar has a crit threat on a 13 right now.

<Saif> hits

<Saif> roll dmg

<Kat> db 1d10+27

<db> Kat rolled 1d10+27: [37]

<Saif> splat

<Kat> db 1d4

<db> Kat rolled 1d4: [1]

<Hunter> ROFL

<Saif> dead derro

<Kat> *Is the next target within 5'?

<Saif> no, since M would have stopped on the far side of 3 to let T through

<Kat> step up and attack it, Superior cleave

<Kat> ok

<Kat> If Matar can get to 2, that would be nice for his bonus attack

<Saif> Thengal, your turn

<Thengal> Two-handed attack on 1, Normal attack

<Thengal> db+16

<db> Thengal rolled 1d20+16: [29]

<Saif> the problem with M moving around in here is the ceiling.

<Saif> hits

<Kat> ok

<Thengal> db1d10+9

<db> Thengal rolled 1d10+9: [16]

<Saif> don't worry, he'll get his tricks in soon enough

<Saif> OK, end of the round

<Thengal> Will I need another attack?

<Saif> Yes, do you have one?

<Thengal> Yup

<Saif> roll

<Thengal> db+11

<db> Thengal rolled 1d20+11: [17]

<Kat> *Matar is mad that he can't swing his sword as quickly as he would like. Prehaps, it's a the cave that needs to move for Matar's sword.

<Saif> hits

<Thengal> db 1d10+9

<db> Thengal rolled 1d10+9: [18]

<Saif> and kills

<Thengal> Cool dmg two-handed

<Saif> now that's the end of the round

<Saif> .

<Kat> Hunter comes into the room to quiet it down

<Saif> updating map and grid (along with times on spells which will drop several rounds due to maneuvering)

* Hunter is plastered to the ceiling trying to avoid getting smashed my Matar as he tries to stand up :)

<Nikki> .

<Nikki> db

<db> Nikki rolled 1d20: [19]

<Saif> .

<Saif> ## OK, sorry for the delay, FTP didn't want to connect

<Saif> Grid and Map are up

<Saif> questions?

<Kat> Are the holes big enough to fly through?

*** Nikki has quit IRC (Leaving)

<Saif> Hunter could, and Amber might be able to, but not anybody M sized

<Kat> Are any of the fuzzy balls on fire?

<Saif> (unless you have escape artist or something - about basketball sized)

<Saif> no, just a torch along the wall

<Kat> Do the fuzzy balls smell like anything that might burn?

<Amber> *do any of us 'left behind' get to do anything like listen for oncoming patrols?

<Saif> they do have a funny smell and are sticky to the touch

<Saif> Amber - no, I'll get to you guys in a min

<Kat> *I didn't get to touch them. I leave that for Ari

<Amber> k

<Saif> OK, they look sticky and smell strange

<Saif> Round 2

<Saif> @Kat?

<Kat> finish off #2

<Kat> db +11

<db> Kat rolled 1d20+11: [15]

<Saif> roll

<Saif> let's see, he's defending now...

<Saif> miss

<Kat> He should be still flat footed

<Saif> ah, right, until his init

<Saif> then that does hit

<Kat> and, oops, that's a 16

<Kat> db 1d6+5

<db> Kat rolled 1d6+5: [9]

<Saif> * a four hits, I'm depressed

<Kat> db 2d6

<db> Kat rolled 2d6: [5] 1 4

*** Hunter is now known as Castinar

<Castinar> Wait til I attack --- I'll need a 14 or some such :)

<Saif> that kills it

<Saif> M and T? want to do anything?

<Kat> get out

<Thengal> Head back out, send to Kat to cut the cord

<Amber> *close the holes!

<Saif> that's beyond CE's abilities

<Kat> *who is going to send the alarm?

<Thengal> OK, I'll cut it myself then

<Thengal> Anyone who might escape

<Saif> K, T cuts the cord. He notices that two cords run to the bell, and there are two other cords running next to that cord

<Kat> How far can Matar fly like Superman?

<Saif> 60'

<Saif> double move 120'

<Thengal> Can I cut all in one swipe?

<Kat> Matar tries to get to v15

<Saif> T - yes

<Thengal> OK, I'll do that then fly back as far as I can

<Saif> Kat - you actually have a normal move you could take as well. Want to follow him down? Your base rate is 90'

<Kat> yes

<Kat> Kat goes to about u19?

<Saif> OK, T makes it about half way down the dotted line, K makes it to U18

<Saif> Cast, d20 please

<Castinar> db

<db> Castinar rolled 1d20: [5]

<Saif> k

<Saif> end of round

<Saif> .

<Saif> Round 3 intentions?

<Thengal> Catch up

<Castinar> round three is supposed to be the signal round

<Thengal> I take it I'm at about w14

<Saif> T, yes, and you can make another 120' this round so about....

<Castinar> Rd three everyone will be back in CE right?

<Saif> ah, we'll say you can make it to C's position

<Thengal> k

<Saif> yes, T will be there by the end of the round

<Castinar> k

<Kat> *Are the derro guarding the barricade look ready to fire?

<Saif> So K and M, do you stop by C?

<Kat> Continue with the plan

<Saif> No derro are visibile behind the barricade

<Saif> k

<Kat> How high is the ceiling?

<Saif> celing in here is 30'

<Castinar> 30' here?

<Saif> So do you guys fly over the barricade instead of rushing through the gap?

<Saif> I've got T and M going through right now

<Thengal> Sure

<Kat> sure

* Kat can fly up and look for guards. Listen too

<Saif> with K going beyond to secure the way back to the others

<Kat> ok

<Saif> getting things figured out...

<Saif> So K, you want to stop where you can cover the two branches beyond the barricade, right?

<Saif> well, the D are flat footed anyway, so let's just take it in init order.

<Kat> yes

<Saif> Cast... just a sec

<Kat> picture?

<Saif> brb, getting called

<Kat> *Is anyone else laughing at the torch and fuzzy balls thing?

<Saif> back

<Saif> will have pic after round (not really needed now)

<Saif> Cast - you need to have line of sight to hit the bolts with your warp wood spell. How do you plan on doing that?

* Castinar casts warp wood (1 action, 35' range, AOE 20')

<Saif> Ah, it's an AoE

<Castinar> just need to see the target area, not the individual bolts, no?

<Saif> and since you already know where the bolts are stored, that's an easy one

<Castinar> 50 lbs of wood

<Saif> just a sec...

<Saif> db 4d20

<db> Saif rolled 4d20: [39] 3 14 3 19

<Saif> Those forward hear one of the derro speak. I think only Cast and Thengal understand them. Right after C casts his spell one of them says "Hey, would you look at that?"

<Saif> @Kat? Fly to cover the two tunnels?

<Kat> Yes, prepare arrows to attack any running derro

<Saif> K, Kat ready to plug Derro

<Saif> @M? Fly over and check out the situation?

<Kat> aye

<Thengal> Moi aussi

<Saif> K, decision time. There is a lieutenant here. You can either land and attack him (but only him), or land on the barricade itself, where you would be in position to use your cleave if you take the first one down.

<Saif> There is also a fourth on the ground, but not close enough to the Lt to cleave

<Kat> Matar would go into position to use the cleave

<Kat> like he has done in the past

<Saif> OK, M lands on the barricade between two derro

<Saif> He takes his first attack (roll)

<Kat> same, +8 for damage. +14/+9 on attack

<Kat> ok

<Kat> bless still on?

<Saif> yes

<Kat> db +14

<db> Kat rolled 1d20+14: [28]

<Kat> db 1d10+27

<db> Kat rolled 1d10+27: [36]

<Kat> db 1d4

<db> Kat rolled 1d4: [3]

<Saif> * guy on east or west? (west is next to wall)

<Kat> *not lt?

<Saif> no, Lt is on the ground, couldn't cleave if wanted him

<Kat> ok

<Kat> west

<Saif> K, west is down. go for the cleave

<Kat> db +14

<db> Kat rolled 1d20+14: [26]

<Kat> db 1d10+27

<db> Kat rolled 1d10+27: [35]

<Saif> and east is down as well

<Kat> 5 ft step to next target?

<Kat> another cleave

<Saif> no, he is down on the ground

<Kat> ratz

<Saif> ### So the plan is to have the main group move foward now as well, correct?

<Castinar> yup

* Castinar sends <trap safe>

<Saif> Nikki flies forward, slowly

<Saif> * Kat - are you staying in the air or landing?

<Saif> @Shadow?

*** Castinar is now known as Shadow

<Kat> *grounded on the wall

<Kat> *or ceiling

<Saif> Kat - what altitude? 30' max

* Shadow moves to V10B -- bow out

<Kat> max

<Saif> @Amber?

<Kat> *second thought, 20' up.

<Amber> err..<g> Fly forward close to ceiling to whereever I'm supposed to be. or was I supposed to do spells?

<Saif> I think you're covering the rear still

<Saif> So behind N and S? (They are close togehter)

<Amber> then listening

<Saif> ### Cast, what did H end up rolling for init?

<Saif> @Diana?

<Shadow> db

<db> Shadow rolled 1d20: [11]

<Shadow> 11 :)

<Amber> *no plus?

<Saif> * Who's playing Diana? I take it she moves foward?

<Thengal> Cast is

*** Shadow is now known as Diana

<Diana> sorry forgot :)

<Saif> Ari - does K'harn want to wait for Ari?

* Diana moves to W12A and takes stock

<Ari> *sure why not

<Saif> OK, and where do Ari and K'harn move to?

<Ari> *as far forward hugging the right hand tunnel wall as we can or someone tells us to stop

<Saif> Hunter - you fly to your assigned spot? (at the fork in the tunnels)?

<Ari> *an no i'm not giving map stuff... I dont feel like looking at the map

*** Diana is now known as Hunter

<Hunter> affirmative

<Saif> @Thengal? You see two dead derro on the barricade (bloodily dead), one normal derro near them on the ground, and a derro lieutenant near the gap, looking up at where his two soldiers just fell. Who do you attack?

<Thengal> I'll take out the Lt

<Saif> Roll

<Thengal> Normal 2h attack again

<Thengal> db+16

<db> Thengal rolled 1d20+16: [35]
