The Back Room: Live Tabletop Games

The puddle lights up around R2 and Z1's feet (at the end of their turn)

/pass init/

4:24 AM

Jor's turn

"Corrale that zombie into the flames, if you will."

[Lathlaeril's voice is clear, normal. Not the sound of a creaking door it used to have.]

<GGGRRAAYYYBBB!> TIGER ignores the one on him and attacks the one on Gabe by pouncing?

It needs to make a dc 14 str st or prone

The zombie gets a huge chunk ripped out of it by Jor's pounce...

If its prone, I can bite it... disdainfully

4:27 AM

[Incessant Dwarven cursing that would make a Thieves' Guildmaster blush]

(DC 14 STR or prone, +1)

d20

...and manages to shed the pounce, staying upright!

4:33 AM

The zombie on Gabe rips chunks of flesh out of him too...one bite almost reaching an artery...

[a sacrifice to the RNGesus.]

The remaining slow zombie tries to get up, drenched in burning oil...

Your third try with the dagger strikes true, felling the zombie atop you at last

R2 is on the other side of me?

R2 is tangled up in the furball with you and Jor basically

i I have a 2nd attack

oh, go ahead then

4:39 AM

d-d-d-double kill

Your stab only lightly gashes the zombie in the leg, but that's enough to take it out of the fight with a moan

Lath's turn

Lathlaeril screams, "STAY DOWN!" in Dwarven. He launches one last firebolt at Z1, with everything he has. He falls prone afterwards, out of exhaustion.

d20

that hits

2d10

DOWN.

DC 24 is impossible. Nice hit

The remaining zombie is half incinerated by this and its remnants fall into the burning oil to be consumed there (and yes, indeed -- no undead fort for you, Z1!)

(end of fight)

sadly, I think I need to clean up my dagger and take a long rest.

4:41 AM

"I'm getting too old for this shit-caked horse arse." Lathlaeril passes out on the ground.

Gabriel wants to keep going, but Nautarch needs a long rest

when do you want to convene again for this?

2d20

"Fuego," Lathlaeril mutters. The tiger is hit with a light gust of wind.

4:43 AM

and oh, sorry about that being a marathon -- that was actually supposed to be 4 slow zombies and 2 fast zombies, as I misread my notes haha

that was a lot of fun! no worries :)

@Shalvenay [Dwarven cursing intensifies]

g'night all

haha yeah! fighting on all sides was exciting

4:44 AM

@NautArch will you be around this weekend?

@daze413 that was a real blast, yeah -- the most intense fight I've ever run in D&D

@Shalvenay I can do it on your mondays.

@NautArch -- I should be around this Monday (all day even due to a holiday)

the sheeps really slowed down the fight tho

\(>o<)/
(/>o<)/ <==O
(~>_<)~

wizard needs nap badly

Wonder if anyone has a solution to the slog that follows after conjuring

4:46 AM

"Don't." - Skeletor, probably.

@daze413 that they did

Do you mind if I retcon the spell to Call lightning instead? I know we're in a small room but still sounds fun :D

I vow to never use conjures on any media except face to face ever again

@daze413 hrm...I think your deity has heard your (and my) prayers for relief from sheep droppings

Let's just say we change it all during the long rest.

@daze413 they work a fair bit better during map-and-minis

@Papayaman1000 hrm...are you sure you want to longrest in this dungeon?

4:49 AM

That's how I exhausted the DM in play by post. Remember the kildrak druid? that was for an arena game. The DM didnt want to deal with 8 boars running around haha

YOU MESS WITH LATH-O
YOU GET THE WRATH-O

@daze413 hahahaha

8 boars and a Giant Elk

oink!

4:51 AM

dang! I cant pick call lightning:

> The spell fails if you can't see a point in the air where the storm cloud could appear (for example, if you are in a room that can't accommodate the cloud).

I will say that conjured critters are easier to manage in map-and-minis play than ToTM, irrespective of whether you're playing online or face-to-face

k need sleep now goodbye

see ya, then!

@Shalvenay We were playing with maps on the arena game, it still felt slower. Perhaps Conjures are just slow, by design.

I mean, you have to roll init again, and then have to add x more turns to the combat... It's just really wonky

they are

I've seen combat in 3.5e get slowed down some by multi-creature SNA

but yeah -- this may turn into a more complete dungeon run than I thought

@Shalvenay what do you mean? it Wasn't complete?

5:02 AM

@daze413 the barricades were intended to set it up for a quick 2-session "express run"

vs having the party spend 4 sessions wandering the dungeon xD

before they get to the one of the two boss battle options

to avoid spoilerses, wanna hop into your spoil lair?
