I think the statue can provide some cover from the bowman, right?

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

Done

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."

Thia's turn, then Sonya and Kaddim.

So whats the 5HP from and reaping stike when missed still does my strength in damage with a 2H weapon, I hope you have been useing that the whole battle, thats why I have been attacking with it all battle.

David wrote:So whats the 5HP from and reaping stike when missed still does my strength in damage with a 2H weapon, I hope you have been useing that the whole battle, thats why I have been attacking with it all battle.

Sorry, I haven't...

I'll subtract for last round and try to keep that in mind in the future.

Thia will use her serpentskin armor to shift 3 squares east. Once there she will twin strike the bowman (still has the HQ on him) if she can see him, otherwise she will twin strike the mindstrike.

...will wait for the outcome of Thia's turn...

Thia used the daily power of the armor in the Mirrored Hallway battle. The party hasn't had an extended rest since then.

https://nwgamers.forumotion.com/online-role-play-gaming-f14/mirrored-hallway-t335-60.htm#3557

Since your backup plan was to attack the mindstrike...

Thia will shift south 1 and twin strike the mindstrike.

Kaddim's turn

wanted to be one more square to the north.

remember someone needs to heal Candelos before he misses 3 saves...

Attempt an acrobatic check and jump off bookshelf. If I make it continue moving to be adjacent to Candelos. If I'm too far I will use Dimensional Warp with Quinn to trade places with him. Then I will attempt a Heal check on Candelos.

If I miss my acrobatic check to take no damage from the jump off of the bookshelf I will stand up from being prone, from falling.

...isn't that an athlectics check?

It's an Acrobatics check (reduce damage from falling), but trained only. Kaddim is not trained in acrobatics so he'll take 1d10 from the fall and be prone.

Alternatively, you could use a move action to climb (athletics check) down...

Aw crap. Ok. I'll just do the climb. I guess I'd only have to climb 5' down and then I can jump safely, right. Is that a full move action to climb down, or does that only take up a few squares of movement.

Looks like to climb 5' it should only take 2 squares of movement, the 1 more square to jump to the ground so I should have 3 more squares left. Could I go 2 more squares if I do all this as a run? Mainly trying to get within 3 of Quinn so we can trade places and I can try to heal Candelos with a standard.

I don't think you can run during the climb, but you can afterwards.

Note: Quinn missed his save last turn and is now enraged and not considered an ally (Dimension Warp won't work on him...).

Damn it. Screw all of that then.

Move: I'll move south and then east on the bookshelf.
Standard: If I have enough movement I will run straight East and attempt to jump to the bookshelf across from me. If I don't have enough then I will just second wind.

You have enough movement to jump to the eastern section of the bookself, but Kaddim is at 25/73hp and the archer is looking your way.


Did you want to stay on the west section and use second wind this turn or move to the eastern section?

I'm a hero damn it. I'm moving. However, instead of running can I still make it with a move? That way he won't get the bonus to attack me.

Kaddim's turn:
Move: move east along the top of the bookshelf.
Standard: move east, jumping across the door entrance (automatic for Kaddim since he has a running start).


Thought bow's turn:
Standard: shoot Kaddim 24 vs Ac miss
Move: move north

Quinn's turn:
Move: move east
Standard: charge Sonya 27 vs Ac hits for 15hp of damage


Candelos' turn:Candelos is unconscious and needs to make a death save.
Candelos rolls a 20. He is allowed to use a healing surge and remains prone.
Candelos is now conscious and no longer enraged. He is at 18/72hp with 10/14 surges.




Miri's turn, then the Mindstrike...

Oops...
Looks like I forgot to put the dazed status on Quinn and Candelos.

Quinn is enraged (not thinking of his defenses at the moment...) and will run/charge. His attack will still hit, but he'll have a minus to his AC. At the end of his turn he rolls 15 and is no longer dazed.

At the end of Candelos' turn he rolls 13 and is no longer dazed.
