Currently Thia's turn, then Sonya and Kaddim.

Free Action: Say, "You know it would be wonderful if those archers couldn't see us or this warlord guy. I guess none of us have any spells that would do something like that, because I'm sure they would have used it by now."

Did the mindstrike make its save versus slowed?

I will twin strike the west bowman.

Yup, I thought I did, but Ken & I couldn't find the post where I memorized new spells. It's in my spellbook.

Ken, next extended rest, I do want to repick spells...

Longbowmen NPC
Quinn
Candelos
Miri
NPC scimitar wielders
Thia
Sonya
Kaddim


...so it is the bowmen's turn I think, then Quinn, then Candelos, then Miri.

Looks like I don't leave the thunder damage where I leave so I will revise my action to be:
Minor: Aegis of Shielding on Candelos
Move: Shift West, between Candelos and Mindstrike
Standard: Dimensional Thunder on Mindstrike (or on wounded bowman if we determine the strike is done when you arrive). Teleport 3 squares SW, onto bookshelf which I believe puts me adjacent to the bowman. Inflict 5 ongoing Thunder damage to bowman.

For now... I'm going with the Attack, Teleport, Ongoing Damage sequence.

Kaddim's turn:
Minor: Mark Candelos (removes the mark from the Mindstrike)
Move: Shift 1 west
Standard: Dimensional Thunder
DT 25 vs Fort hits the Mindstrike for 21hp

West bowman takes 5 Thunder damage.
Move: shift 1 west
Standard: move west, then north 7 squares
Kaddim can tell that the creature did not save vs the ongoing damage.

Move: Shift 1 north
Standard: Holy Strike 30 vs Ac hits for 16hp (is Kaddim going to reduce the damage...)

Miri's turn...

Don't think so. I'm also not going to teleport him to me.

Does the west bowman look like he has more than 5 HP?

Krystoff wrote:Does the west bowman look like he has more than 5 HP?

Thia can't see him...

Kaddim can't tell though. He's definetely close to falling, but you have no way of knowing how close. (Well Kaddim could use his glasses as a standard action, I think they tell you current status/hp).

Are they within range for

One Heart, One Mind (U6)

Yeah and I am probably not going to try and chase him either, just was curious.

Dwarmaj wrote:Miri's turn...

Force Orb on the Red guy (no 2ndary target).

Oh, free action: using 1H1M, let everyone know about the ladders to the top of the bookshelves in the N corners.

Minor Action: Inspiring Word on myself.

Standard Action: Throwing Shield on the E bowman. + 10 vs. AC 1d8+4.

Move Action: 1 sq NW, 2 sq N, 2 sq NE so I end up three squares to the north of the red monster. Yeah, I know I'm still in the aura.

Kaddim's turn

Move: 5 West on bookshelf
Standard: Charge West Bowman with a Melee Basic Attack.
Done

Ross wrote:Move: 5 West on bookshelf

Kaddim is 7 squares away from the western edge and is unable to charge this round.

The Thoughtbow does seem to be moving faster than you, but you can move adjacent with a move/move action.

A run/charge should work, right?

No, Kaddim is 7 squares from the edge, but then only has one square to move before the bowman. Not enough room for a charge once he gets to the edge.

If I move 5 squares first I can charge from there. It's a diagonal so I can still reach the square adjacent to the bowman.

Ross wrote:If I move 5 squares first I can charge from there. It's a diagonal so I can still reach the square adjacent to the bowman.

Sorry, I'm not following.

Moving 5 puts you two squares from the edge and one square from the target.

The only way you could move 5 and charge is if you can charge around the corner (which I didn't think was possible with out a special feat).

You can't move diagonal across the south west corner of the room.

Sorry, i was treating the bookshelves as the rows. With it blown up I can see the squares underneath better. I will move 6, then charge. Charge movement would be 2 west, and then diagonally to 1 northwest which should put me adjacent to the target.

I'm not changing direction. I'm going in a straight line toward my intended square which is the one adjacent to the enemy. Moving diagonal doesn't block me because that's not a wall.

Charge Movement Requirements: You must move at least
2 squares from your starting position, and you must
move directly to the nearest square from which you
can attack the enemy. You can’t charge if the nearest
square is occupied. Moving over difficult terrain
costs extra squares of movement as normal.

True it's not a wall, but there is nothing to support you either.

I think there should be a skill check involved.
Either an acrobatics check (DC15) to avoid falling off of the bookshelf.
Or an athletics check to jump across from the south shelves to the west shelves.

If that's the only choice then I'll go for the Athletics check. At least it's considered running jump.

Still don't see why I even have to though. Your only blocked by obstacles, which is stated very clearly in the diagonal movement rules. You can't even be blocked by a person in that square. So basically what your saying is that your stepping into the squares on either side of your path when moving diagonally, but that's not the case. If there were traps in those squares you just bypass them by going diagonally, you don't randomly step on one of the other sides.

By the way, your just reinforcing a reason to use hexes.

I'm considering going from one shelf to the next without going to a corner as hazarous terrain.




Kaddim moves 5, then attempts to jump/charge the Thoughtbow.
Athletics check 20+9 (grr rolls a 20...) success.

Basic attack on the Thoughtbow 25 vs Ac hits for 13hp. The Thoughtbow falls.

Just curious, why couldn't I have gone to the next square and then went diagonal? I only have to go one diagonal. How come it had to be a square back?

Ross wrote:Just curious, why couldn't I have gone to the next square and then went diagonal? I only have to go one diagonal. How come it had to be a square back?

If you were one square forward, then there would only be 1 square between you and the thoughtbow and you need 2 to charge.

I don't mean starting in a square ahead. I'm talking about when i moved. You had me jumping through the empty space. It could easily have been me moving on the bookshelf one more square and then going kaddy corner to be next to the bowman. I should be able to make the diagonal whenever I wanted too.

Then it wouldn't have been a straight line. You would be going west, then northwest. This way you're going two northwest (more west than north), but in a straight line.

Both are considered straight lines when using a grid actually. You just chose your straight line to be in the air.

Thoughtbows turn:
Standard: The bowman to the west takes a shot at Thia 18 vs Ac miss
Move: He moves east, then north.




Quinn's turn, then Candelos and Miri

If it makes any difference at all, I do follow what's going on. The monster is just to the W and a little N of where the PC ended movement and begins the charge. Some where along the charge path, the PC will have to move a square to the north. Since the charge path is very short, as far as making a straight line, it doesn't matter if the diagonal square is the first or the last square of the charge. In this case (pun intended) the PC would have to actually make a jump if the diagonal square where the first square of movement. I'm of the position that the PC should get to choose the path of the charge if there is more than one correct path. Thus, I'd permit Kaddim to move one forward, then one diagonal to the NW to charge. If the DM insists on a jump check, the jump would be a running jump of less then 3' (should be an automatic make).

Free Action: Sonya says "Quinn, side step Candelos, he's still enraged and make that tough leader monster your mark. We'll pin him between us."

I don't think Quinn or Candelos is going to affect my actions, so I'll post for Miri now, since I probably won't be online until tomorrow night.

Standard Action: Magic Missle red. (should be +2 damage from bracers of perfect shot, and +2 more damage from Arcane Reserves feat since I used up all 3 encounter powers) 2d4+11 total

Minor Action: none

Free Action: using 1H1M, "Thia, I'm on my way to help you with the East bowman."
