Nice logic, Sal! I hope you're right!

See, As I said before, I see alot of Kender in Wembley. And everyone knows Kenders dont die by others' hands. They die by their own.


We have only to wait until we hear the dreaded 'oops....'

In combat you can move a full 10 time movement rate in a round or half that as a free move. So Mal, who is not wearing armour, could move at least 45 feet in a round and still attack. The scale to the room is 1 sq is 5 feet.

As I see it. Mal is standing near the entrance where you came in. Crow is closest to the pillar having stopped on the way to the bows. Wembley and Alôndas are but the staff rack. Dudley and Gamard are by the mace rack. Ivan is on the very top of the Spear rack. Remember the block opened up on the side across from where you came in.

So depending on initiative rolls, Mal could intercept a beastie.

E = Evil Creatures

That's almost exactly the way I drew the map locations. Only real difference was I had Crow over closer to the wall by bows and arrows. That's why he dashed to hide behind him. Gotta love those big meat shields.

These are of course rough ideas and you do indeed plan to move.

Crow will be first in combat actually as he was ready from the start and in the pathway.

For me to remember c1m2a3w4mo5g6d7

So my roll is bad as usual and Dudley goes last, if he lives.

Been a long two days getting my Mother ready for her nose/cancer Op and getting her set up for recovery at home. She will be laid up for the next few days with me helping her, but I will get a post up today
No worries.

Wishing your mother a speedy recovery!

"On a side note; in my last post, Alôndas was aiming at the little beast that was headed towards Dudley, not that it really matters"
Yes, I saw that but by the map you can see that was across the room and you did not have a clear line of sight, plus I figured you'd want to take care of the one moving towards you and not rely on the casting of another.

In forum based games, I as the Dm, have to make some calls on what I think your character will do. As I often say, you post what you want to happen and I post what will happen. Mal said he wouldn't attack but I had him attack anyway because I ruled he could make it. Gamard said he was casting the Magical stones - I assumed he'd throw them to save Dudley. If I don't make these small assumptions then combat becomes deadly dull with one move at a time.

If I rule something that will cause a lot of harm, like say having Mal hesitate, Alan cast on monster attack Dudley and therefore waits for line of sight and Gamard only casts and does not throw and then Dudley is turned into cidal hash. Then I would send out some PM's to make sure that is what you wanted to happen.


On another note, if you are leaving the room by the portal suggested by Ivan, you do have enough time to grab a weapon or two if you feel you are lacking.

I had thought that it was just missed who he had targeted but now I see how you handled it. Yes I would rather that than say a wasted action.

Thanks for explaining.

Anyone have an idea? Do we want to flee or fight? Opinions?

I would vote for fleeing and just pick a portal, one is as good as another.

What do you suggest?

I'm okay with hitting a portal.

Portal. we might survive another round, but every wound suffered is a detriment.

Ivan definitely votes for portal.

Btw - whatever is coming is huge and there are two if them.

"Run Away".................
