Breeze's lair...

Monsters don't get hits back until they extended rest, usually. And most can't access their only surge. They're weak too until they extended rest, same as us.

Normally yes, but the knights looked a lot healthier when you saw them in the dragon lair. The caster looked full up...

bradly wrote:Regarding their teleport power, they'll need LOS, so it won't be easy to get us all on the ice.

True the caster's teleport power does need LOS, but she doesn't have to get the whole party onto the ice...


An eladrin comes back to the door after about 5min and says:
Crystal demands that you leave her quarters immediately.

Does the party leave?

I'm showing the following PC status:

Candelos 72/78hp with 7/14 surges
Kaddim 57/79hp with 5/11 surges
Miri 57/58hp with 1/9 surges
Sonya 66/66hp with 1/9 surges
Thia 55/65hp with 0/7 surges

Does this look right to the party?

Wait... I thought we were in the room with the 3 beds.

Thia, I'll assume you gave me 1,300gp and are wearing these boots. I hope they help you in our upcoming fight!

Here's not the best place to talk about the rest. Let's fall back to the Eladrin's bedroom for the extended rest. It's been a while since any of us slept in real beds...

So is the plan to fall back to the casters room and take an extended rest?

I replied to this post 'yes', but I was thinking "EladrinS' bedroom", not "Eladrin'S bedroom", thinking there are 5 of us so take the room with 3 beds vs. 1.

I'm fine either way, I was thinking more for roleplaying flavor than strategy.

Better?



Who wants to be where?

Can't see the map (as usual), just put me where I can cut off thier escape.

I sent you an email with the map.

I'm not sure where you'll want to be since they're probably not the ones needing an escape route...

Dwarmaj wrote:I'm not sure where you'll want to be since they're probably not the ones needing an escape route...

Bah! We know their tricks now, and have better terrain to battle.

(Unless someone thinks differently) put everyone along the West edge of the room, with Candelos, Kaddim, & Sonya 1 square more East of Miri & Thia. That way, they have to come fully into the room to have LOS on us.

The party moves to the west wall.

Note: from the west wall you can't see the north.



If Candelos moved 1E then he can see the eastern section of the north door. 2E, then he can see both the NW and NE sections of the door.

Dwarmaj wrote:Note: from the west wall you can't see the north.

I don't think it's important we see them enter the room, as it is that we draw them inside. What does everyone else think?

Yes. Actually i think it's better if we let a couple get in the room and then close the door so we can take them out without access to all of their damage shielding features. I will be diagonal from the door that we suspect they will come into. Maybe someone can be near a bed or a chest, or other container, and ask if we can have this, and point into it. That should lure one or two into the room, then I can close the door and we can start hacking.

Oh, I don't think I posted it, but I wanted to use enough surges to get to full health.

Which door does Kaddim wish to be next to? The north or the east door?

Anyone else want to be in a different position?

Ross wrote:Oh, I don't think I posted it, but I wanted to use enough surges to get to full health.

I had Kaddim use one more surge, he's currently at 76/79hp with 4/11 surges.

I currently have Kaddim using the +2 flaming sword (longsword) and not wearing armor.

North door since that's the way they would want us to leave by.

Put Sonya by the north door to, on the other side of the door way from Kaddim and a little bit futher away from the actual door opening so that someone opening the door could not immediately see Sonya w/o entering the room.

Teramotos wrote:Put Sonya by the north door to, on the other side of the door way from Kaddim and a little bit futher away from the actual door opening so that someone opening the door could not immediately see Sonya w/o entering the room.

The door to the north is a double door.

Kaddim is currently behind the NW section. If the NW section is opened, Kaddim will be behind the door and they can see anyone behind the NE section.

If they open the NE section, they will see Kaddim and won't be able to see anyone behind the NE section of the door.

Does Sonya want to be right behind the door or one square back? The only way you'll be out of sight when the door is opened is if you're around the corner to the west or east.

Dwarmaj wrote:I currently have Kaddim using the +2 flaming sword (longsword) and not wearing armor.

We would logically have given Kaddim the +3 hide armor to wear that we found a while back too, I think.

Ross wrote:North door since that's the way they would want us to leave by.

Yes, the East door (at least was) barricaded with a bed & stuff, plus spiked shut from the outside. Although we can't see if they unbaricaded the East door, we should be able to tell if they pull out the spikes holding it shut.

Kaddim is not proficient with hide armor. If he wears the armor he'll have a -2 penalty to attack rolls and to Ref defense.

Will Kaddim wear the hide armor?

If being behing the NE corner is still within 5 squares of the door, then you can place Sonya around the corner. If around the corner would be too far for me to get to the doorway to attack in a single move action (remember, I can't cut the corner), then place Sonya 1 square back from the door (I'll even try to hide along the wall).

Here's the current map:

Oh. I just assumed as our Def, he could wear any armor... Better let him decide on what he wants to do.

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?

...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".

Krystoff wrote:

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.
