Thema: A simple escort - Campaign Orga Thread

Gaess will run to the pillar and after jumping as high up it as she can, spider climbs the rest of the way to reach the top.

(Assuming the latter action is needed, since I simply can't find anything saying how tall the pillar actually is.   )

[Zanan]

Well ... the dais is about 8 feet off the ground. The pillar as such rises up to the ceiling 30 to 50 feet above bridge / floor level. So unless it was unclear till now, the rooms (4) on the dais-/upper level  can only be reached through the corridor Xyranma is in, or via the stairs on the southern side of the pillar (area 1, unless I am mistaken).

Gaess can easily jump up to the dais, if she wants to (and doesn't roll a 1 for it).

[Zanan]

Got Xyranma's PM and will do the next round either later today or tomorrow morning.

Narzen, no chat tomorrow as I will be "on duty" again.

[Zanan]

More likely late afternoon on Saturday ... but feel free to add some comments to show me everyone is still about. (You know, the more in-game postings, the more XP  8) )

Round VIII aftermath ...

In the corridor, the slimy creature looks pretty unhealthy. The chain blocks its way to Farviaan, the latter has just cleaved the skeleton to pieces. The second skeleton stands behind the slimy thing, unable to reach anyone with melee weapons, nor being able to be reached either.

On the ground, the skeleton coming up from the southern area is being swamped with opponents, namely Szordrin, Zhadristan, Sheiriya, and the ghast. Tarinyon, Gaess and Xune stand at the southern edge of the bridge watching on, no target presenting itself right now.

... apart from the eye of the shadow dragon right above, the size of a small football field.  

[Fabius Maximus]

Farviaan jumps behind the skeleton and attacks it in the next round.

Oh, and you didn't forget that gith have power/spell resistance, too, did you?

 :ork:  
Well, I could switch back to the old system and roll for anything I do when I do it, instead of precreating all the d20 (etc) as I did above and ticking off the rolls as I need them at home while dragging you all through this encounter?! That would cause me quite some bother, given the new dice bot though and may ... just MAY  ... result in Beshaba's smile upon the group.

As in: I checked anything - initiative, skills, attack rolls, SR checks, damage stuff - from the precreated rolls above and only tend to forget some ultra-sepcial stuff hidden somewhere in the equipment etc..  8)

[Fabius Maximus]

Just asking...  

[Zanan]

Romaal ... raise dead is a divine spell, so I assume Tarinyon did cast animate dead. Two options are possible, with or without "meat". Yours is the choice.

Houserule alert:
You may recreat the chap as a bone creature (BoVD) of half the derro's previous HD. To my knowledge, it is not said how a bone creature is actually created, Caster Levels required et al. So I would say that you can only create bone creatures which do not exceed half your  caster levels, and those bone creatures have only half their original class levels / HD as well. You can only create one bone creature while using the animate dead spell. If the creator keeps one of the bones of the bone creature, the latter is compelled to serve its creator for one year per caster level (when created) or as long as the creator keeps the bone in his/her possession. Else, it is a free willed being. The bone creature is handled like a cohort with regard to XP gained and thus does not count as a group member with regard to XP split et al.

Objections or comments?

Round IX aftermath:

The apparently summoned chaos beast has been slain and has now vanished. Farviaan attacks the second skeleton from the southern side, while Xyranma and Kylara face up to this opponent from the north. This fight takes place in the lower half of the corridor leading from 8 to 4, Farviaan may spot the inhabitants of room 4.

At the entry to the eastern corridor (i.e. 7 to 1), the skeleton has been obliterated.
At the southern side of the bridge, Xune and Gaess watch on as Tarinyon animates one of the dead derros.

[Zanan]

Round X aftermath

In the corridor "upstairs", the last remaining skeleton is surrounded by Favriaan, Xyranma, and Kylara, all hacking away at it.

The skeleton in region 1 (southern side of the pillar) is glued to ground by some sticky substance (from Tavia's tanglefoot bag), no other enemy can be seen right now. There is a ramp (at 3) leading up to the room (4) on the pillar's platform / upper level.
I assume that Sheiriya, Zhadristan and Szordrin have reached area 1 this round, doing nothing but move. So they could either attack the skeleton next round, look for hidden enemies, or move up the ramp.

Gaess and Tarinyon, plus the latter's new friend, stand at the southern side of the bridge.

[Narzen]

Hey guys... just wanted to explain my absence somewhat.

Put simply, my life's been a big pile of %¤"# for the last few months. While mostly self-imposed, especially in the recent weeks, the fact of the matter is I don't know if I fear the turn of the year or rather look forward to it to at least find out if I've gotten things back on track by then, or if I've finally dug myself into a hole there's no way out of.

So there. And just in case, this is by no means a farewell note, merely something to buy myself some time to think stuff over...

--Think, think, think! Whatever! How about you actually try and do something every once in a while, eh?

-Er... please, dear, I'm not sure you're helping here...

--What? All he does is bloody whine! Should I tell him some stupid bedtime stories to make him feel better or what the hells do you expect me to do?

-Well, uh, now that you mentioned it, I was thinking of s-

--Oh, shut up!

-Yes, dear.

[Szordrin]

damn, sorry I've been gone so long guys. My computer caught a horrible Trojan virus that wiped out my Internet. It cost a pretty penny to get it back up and running again, but now it's up and I'm back.

[Zanan]

Aftermath of Round XI

Scenes as described in the main thread. Only the skeleton below 3 - the one Szordrin attacks - remains.

The humans all feature bald heads and distinctly Thayan tattoos.

Zhadristan, methinks the links to the picture don't work right now?!

[Phaerven]

Seems so. On thursday I heard that there is a new computer behind that address now, I guess the new system is not fully configured yet. But the maps will be available by sunday evening (CET).
