Wanna play a game?

[Krensky]

Someone raised a question about the Warchanter's last turn. Yes, she did four things. No, she didn't break the rules. I'll post her block after this fight.

[Krensky]

It has been brought to my attention I stuck the warchanter at the wrong point in the initiative order when the Distraction effect ended. In the interest of moving forward, Kor and Phelan (who were effected by this last round) get an extra AD, and my apologies.

Question - is there any danger of me being mistaken for a Goblin?

Question - is there any danger of me being mistaken for a Goblin?

Only if you act like uncivilized vermin.

[glimmerrat]

Can I retrieve any arrows?

[Krensky]

Can I retrieve any arrows?

Since I don't feel like digging through the book and rolling damage save for them all.. You can recover one quarter (round down) your missed arrows with a tricky Search check (DC 16). Threat gets you half (round down). Critical gets three-quarters misses.

Unrealistic, but quick. Use it for now, I may come up with something else later.

[Krensky]

Ok.

As I had mentioned earlier, this is a published adventure, and I'm trying to stick close to it. Yes, that means there is another fight after this. Once that's done, I'll call scene, and I think session. Not sure on the last, I'll need to look over the adventure as a whole.

Once the last wave is over (which will use Mr. A's corrected Goblins - thanks Mr. A, take an Action Die) there will be a nice long bit of roleplay and you'll all have a chance to shop, hit on barmaids, placate fellow PCs, and get some background and move forward on the story.

And, as promised, Miss Thing:

Since we're all learning, and I'd like to encourage some involvement on the back-end, I'll give out an AD to people who spot errors, up to one per scene. If you spot an error and already got a AD, give it to someone else.

And on the topic of ADs and saves. I'm not quite sure how best to let you guys handle them for boosting. At the moment, when it would be obvious to use one I will (like Lightseeker's 19 when we knew he needed a 20). Do you guys want to give me guidelines, or have me post rolls and let you tell me?

Oh, and are you back back Walt? I mean, the Korrigan did steal your kill.

[MugMug]

Oh, and are you back back Walt? I mean, the Korrigan did steal your kill.

I know... the little bastard. The important thing is I turned around and she's dead -- not who made with the stabby.

I'm kinda/maybe back. I'm having intermittent computer problems and intermittent connection failures -- they seem to be unrelated other than both causing me grief. The connection problems are probably just more crappy Army infrastructure. The computer problems I'm not sure -- shoddy power supply dealing with 220V/50Hz power? Virus? Divine punishment?

[foproy]

in relavance to where we are any buildings one maight use as a raised positions for archers around?

[Quicklift]

Sort of what I was posting for with my tactics check and all....  so yeah what the fop said.   

[Krensky]

Work caught the better of me.

I'll post answers and such tomorrow. Well, today. Whatever. After sleep.

Mmmm... Sleep.

[glimmerrat]

How much have I made so far this adventure from my endeavours?

[Krensky]

in relavance to where we are any buildings one maight use as a raised positions for archers around?

Pretty much all the buildings around the square are two or thee stories and have pitched roofs and are shut up tight. I'll let you take a one die Perk to find a scalable building with a flattish roof for a vantage point.

[foproy]

how about a building with a balcony and a decent view, does not necessarily need to be scalable, if we can enlist the help of a certain drake

[Krensky]

Same price, although as I pointed out the screaming and barking is from the north and not moving toward you at the moment.
