That's fine with me

I moved him because he wanted to be able to see the door. Any farther west and he can't, especially if he moves north as well.

I have a bad feeling about this =)

If they say something before attacking Thia will say "Look, we need to rest so we can regain our strength and make items for Breeze. This is the best place we have found and the closest to Breeze."

Will Thia stay to the west out of sight or move to the east so that she can be seen when/if she is able to speak?

Thia will move to the east, just enough to be seen. That way she can hopefully shift back out of sight if needed.

Current map




Is this ok?

Hmm going back through my notes I don't see a set of +3 hide armor. Are you sure you have that right?


I'm showing +3 (cloth) armor found by Candelos behind a secret door in a trapped temple.

Do you guys have a list of the treasure you're finding?

If you think I'm missing something let me know"


...Looks like I mistook +3 Dwarven chain for +3 hide, but I knew it was something I couldn't craft yet. Stu offered to keep track from here. I know we at least found some daggers on top of this...

yep, that's all we've found since, three + 1 daggers unless K and C found some stuff when were were separated.

I'll wear one of those cloth armor +3

After the five minutes are up an eladrin opens the door and the caster is next to him.

The caster says "Leave NOW".

The caster pauses for a moment, then asks "what items will you be making for Breeze?"

Breeze is looking for fire resistance items. I am not sure what exactly we can make but we will do our best and that means we need some place to sleep. Breeze has somethings we want and we can make something Breeze wants. Mutually beneficial.

If you make something for us as well during your rest, then you can sleep in our area, otherwise you must find another location.

4 things we can not make, but one item perhaps. What were you thinking of? Please remember that the making of items taxes our strength as well as our resources. What would you be willing to give us in exchange for an item? Sleeping here is for the ability to make items.

Protection is all we can offer. If that is not enough, then you will have to leave.

As to what we can use... necrotic protection would be useful. We occasionally get attacked by undead and cultist who sometimes come down from other areas.

So, will the PCs agree to make an item for the eladrin during this rest period?

Dwarmaj wrote:So, will the PCs agree to make an item for the eladrin during this rest period?

Miri is fine with Thia telling them that...

I don't think anyone is OK with using one of our few item creation slots for just protection for one night.

Thia isn't and I will let the others speak for themselves.

...Sonya says "...hmmm, I think asking for an item just for letting us stay here a few hours is near the edge of what is reasonable. We will deeply consider your proposal." (In other words, "No!") You'd be surprised at how nicely I've been told "No Way!" by some of the companies I try to do business with here at work.

The caster is waiting for a response... (1min...)

It not just the lose of a item creation slot but I haven't hear anything about them furnishing the materials/resin to make a item for them. The heck we'll going give our resin up for their item.
Candelos prepares for the fight to start. orb in one hand other hand on sword.

The caster teleports NE... (surprise round)

Rolling initiative (PCs getting +2 from Sonya)
Caster
Kaddim
Thia
Knight
Candelos
Blades
Miri
Sonya

The caster goes first
Standard: use Winter Winds on Kaddim
WW 33 vs Ref hits for 7hp of damage. Kaddim is teleported 3 squares onto the ice.

Move: teleport east




Kaddim's turn
Kaddim starts his turn in the ice...
Icy Terrain 11 vs Ref miss, Kaddim does not fall prone.

Yay! (finally!) :-)

Oh, Kaddim notices that only two of the knights are present...

I don't know the rule that well but how does she get a suprise round?
I not like we weren't expecting a fight to start.
Candelos stated he's waiting for the fight to start.
I would think she would only get to be the top of the order.

Mick wrote:I don't know the rule that well but how does she get a suprise round?...

I think that's right. She started the action, so gets a standard action only for her surprise round, and that's what the rest of us are reacting to. She must also have a screaming high init is all...

...both sides are aware of the other, so I agree, no "surprise" round, although she does get to go first in the initiative order.

Yes both sides are aware of the other, but the action has to start somewhere.

Since she is initiating the first attack
Either she gets a surprise round (one standard action which she used to teleport)

or

Initiative is rolled and anyone before her doesn't get a turn and she starts at the top.

She did happen to roll the highest (+10 Initiative) and goes first.

The party is aware of her and even thinks there may be a battle coming up, but if we rolled initiative and the party rolled higher was the party going to attack first or wait for them to make a move?

Candelos seem to be the only one stated he was ready for a attack. The smallest flinch would have sent him in to battle. If he would have rolled higher then her, he wouldn't wait.

Free: Activate fire damage on my sword
Move: Aegis of Shielding on the one to my Southwest.
Minor: Promise of Storm
Standard: Lightning Lure on the one to my South. (If I hit use the Daily Flaming power of the sword)

If I have an action point:
Standard: Lightning Lure on the same one. (If I hit, and haven't already use it, use the Daily Flaming power of the sword)

Surprise only occurs if one side is not aware of the other. If Candelos had a ready action he could have taken it if the trigger was her doing an action.

Thia moves east until she sees something other than a blade. She then moves south and/or east as far as she can go and still have a shot at the knight.

She uses Hunters Bear Trap - Searched back through and didnt see anywhere that I used it since the last rest.

She will use Elven reroll if she misses.

If she has an action point she will use it to Biting Volley and Elven Reroll if she didn't need it on the hunters bear trap.

Ross wrote:Surprise only occurs if one side is not aware of the other. If Candelos had a ready action he could have taken it if the trigger was her doing an action.

Candelos didn't have a ready action, he was ready for an attack, but had no action readied.

The caster's action wouldn't have changed since she could have teleported first, then attacked instead of teleport, attack, teleport.

Dwarmaj wrote:Candelos didn't have a ready action, he was ready for an attack, but had no action readied...

I think you did that right. You can't have a readied action before combat starts.

Mick wrote:Candelos seem to be the only one stated he was ready for a

would have rolled higher then her, he wouldn't wait.

The "smallest flinch" was her teleport action, and her +10 init still made her quicker on the draw after that. There is no "he wouldn't wait", because we were waiting, for them to make the first move during all those rounds of parley. I'd have ruled the same way.

...correct, there is no "ready action" before combat starts. I agree with Brad. The caster gets the first action and everyone else is in initiative order.

Kaddim's turn:
Move: mark the Blade to your SW
Minor: activate Promise of Storm
Standard: use Lightning Lure on the Knight to your SE
LL 18 vs Fort miss

Yes, Candelos and Kaddim would get an AP after their last encounter.

Kaddim uses an Action Point
Lightning Lure on the yellow knight
LL 25 vs Fort hits for 12+3hp of damage. The red knight to your west shields the yellow knight. The red knight takes 1/2 of the damage and the yellow knight takes none. But the yellow knight is pulled adjacent to you (assuming to your south).

Thia's turn:
Move: Thia has a good shot at the knight south of Kaddim and will have a penalty if she moves. So she'll stay.
Standard: Hunter's Bear Trap on the knight
HBT 27 vs Ac hits for 21 hp of damage. The knight looks very wounded... The knight is now slowed.

Sorry, Thia, Miri, and Sonya do not get an Action Point after their last battle. They got one before the last battle.

Knights turn...

Knight's turn...

Yellow Knight
Move: Teleport 5 into the room to the NE
Standard: move 2

Red Knight
Move: Teleport 5 SE
Standard: Move east then into the NE room





Candelos turn...

Candelos:
Minor: One heart one mind
Move: 5 spaces to NE corner of the doorway
done

Mick wrote:Candelos:

Candelos' turn:
Minor: cast One Heart One Mind
Move: move to the NE section of the door

Winter Blade's turn:
Each blade teleports into the NE room and moves out of sight.

Miri's turn, then Sonya
The only enemy in sight is the caster, 6 squares east of Kaddim. (unable to post a map at this time...)

Can't you throw something at that Blade?

free action: with OHOM, say to the party, it looks like they trying to lure us into pursuing them and hitting us when we are on the ice.

Dwarmaj wrote:

Using 1H1M: Kaddim, let's not chase them over the ice, but draw them back into OUR room. Candelos, maybe shut the door behind Kaddim after he comes in so the witch can't teleport him again on her next turn.



(yelling in a mocking voice): ""Leave now at once!"... or we'll pull a big scaredy cat runaway! Why didn't you just let us sleep?"

full round action: pull the bedspreads/sheets from the bed (so we can disrupt the witch's LOS by hanging them up in the doorway).

done.

One knight is missing though (if Kaddim shared that with us) so he might be out grabbing Breeze. We were attacked first while we were trying to rest.

Pull back into this room and lets try to rest.

Krystoff wrote:One knight is missing though (if Kaddim shared that with us) so he might be out grabbing Breeze...

I think it's more likely the 3rd knight was always in that NE room and the witch teleported back into his LOS for shielding.

Miri's turn:
It looks like Miri is taking the sheets off of the beds and planning to hang them up over the northern doors.

Sonya's turn...

Sonya's turn

Move Action: I can't see the map, as usual. Move to the east where there is a set of doors.
Minor Action: Try to open.
Standard Action: If the door opens, throw shield or make a Basic Attack vs any enemy within range. If the door opens and there are no enemies in sight, ready action to swing or throw at any such.
If the door doesn't open with my minor action, use standard action to attempt to break down the door.

I can't post maps at the moment. The kids are home today and on the computer. I can't run MapTools while they're on because it takes too much CPU/RAM. I'm running Maptools on my laptop that I have with me .

When Sonya looks at the door to the east she can tell that it has been nailed shut. There are spikes going from the outside into the ground and into the walls. It would take several rounds to try to break through.

I'll start the process of breaking through the door then.

Why are you trying to break the door down? Lets leave this place as defensive as possible.
