Start of #Exalted buffer: Thu Jun 11 07:22:55 2009 [19:21:43] Xan rolls [ 1D10+3: 4 +3 = 7 ] [ 1D8: 3 ] = 10 [19:22:45] run, and then charge [19:22:57] run is 7 squares, charge is 5 [19:23:03] 12 squares just makes it 01[19:23:19] Running means you take a -5 penalty to attack [19:23:24] 1d20+6 [19:23:24] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+6: 18 +6 = 24 [19:23:35] Hits 01[19:23:38] Wow. It hit anyway [19:23:39] (10-5 for running, +1 for charge) 01[19:23:40] What the hell, FUuko? [19:23:52] 1d10+5 [19:23:52] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D10+5: 4 +5 = 9 [19:23:57] shifted one after the attack [19:24:16] So, uh, is gaunt gnoll still bloodied? [19:24:22] Yeah 01[19:24:54] Turn Undead? [19:25:07] It might not be dead. [19:25:14] I make a religion check as a free action [19:25:25] Well, as a no action [19:25:28] 1d20+6 [19:25:29] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+6: 5 +6 = 11 [19:25:31] :D [19:26:12] Not quite good enough for you to know what's going on 01[19:26:20] ELENA CAN DO IT 01[19:26:30] 1d20+11 [19:26:30] Eilenia rolls 1D20+11: 16 +11 = 27 [19:26:53] Certain gnolls, in return to vowing their soul to Yeehongu, can stave off death temporarily [19:27:11] So they're not undead [19:27:14] During which point they gain demonic resistance and speed [19:27:15] Yeah 01[19:27:25] Do I know anything about the temporarily part? Do they die after the encounter? [19:27:34] Yeah [19:27:52] We're not getting away though [19:27:55] 1d20+10 [19:27:55] Charles rolls 1D20+10: 16 +10 = 26 [19:28:02] 2d6+8 [19:28:02] Charles rolls 2D6+8: 5 5 +8 = 18 [19:28:10] 18 damage on Xan [19:28:33] Why can't we roll like the DM? -_- [19:28:33] Um, well, is there anything I can roll to know if anything is going to make this thing go down? [19:28:37] yield ground [19:28:47] Does 26 tell us if it's vulnerable to radiant? [19:29:03] It'll go down pretty soon. Like, sooner than the end of the encounter [19:29:29] Can I shift from the balcony if I make an acro check? [19:29:34] Sure [19:29:37] and still have an attack? [19:29:45] Yeah [19:30:08] Yon: How is Paera's Heal check? [19:30:22] It's +11 [19:30:23] Can she make a DC 15 reliably in 3 tries? [19:30:25] Awesome. [19:30:26] 1d20+11 Acro [19:30:26] Xan rolls 1D20+11: 9 +11 = 20 [19:30:37] I'm saving my Second Wind for if I go into negative hp 01[19:30:52] Can you even take a standard action if you go negative? [19:30:55] But unless someone tells Paera what the hell is going on, I have to roll checks for myself. [19:30:56] You can administer first aid and activate my second wind with a dc 15 heal check as a standard action. [19:31:05] 2x1d20+9 [19:31:05] Xan rolls 2x1D20+9: ( 9 +9 = 18 ) ( 20 +9 = 29 ) = 47 [19:31:07] crit [19:31:08] If I go unconcious [19:31:15] 2d10 [19:31:15] Charles rolls 2D10: 2 9 = 11 01[19:31:21] I figure "Alive" is a word that is n't used for undead [19:31:39] Xan takes one damage from the fall, and does how much damage to the gnoll? [19:31:42] With a vicious weapon [19:31:43] You guys are not helping my in character dilemna whatsoever. [19:31:48] does the first attack hit? [19:31:54] Yon: What's that? 01[19:31:57] What's that dilemma again? [19:32:05] Nope [19:32:17] I'm just saying, should I go into negative HP and start dying, I'm keeping my Second Wind in reserve so you can get me back up again. [19:32:21] That Paera has no information. You're giving complex OOC strategies. [19:32:28] Does quarry get maxed? [19:32:34] Yeah [19:32:40] This isn't an OOC strategy, this is common DnD-World first aid. [19:32:46] 2d12+23 [19:32:46] Xan rolls 2D12+23: 4 5 +23 = 32 [19:32:50] that much. [19:32:52] This does not address what I'm doing now. [19:33:01] 2d10 [19:33:01] Charles rolls 2D10: 1 4 = 5 [19:33:05] 1d20+7 [19:33:05] Charles rolls 1D20+7: 6 +7 = 13 [19:33:09] Am I going to try to ash the thing? Am I getting behind Eve? [19:33:17] It's not undead. [19:33:25] We just rectified the problem, [19:33:32] did that kill it? [19:33:34] Paera can ask questions IC too, ya know :P [19:33:39] Nope [19:33:44] Not quite bloodied, either [19:33:47] damn. [19:33:49] Fine, then I'm going to back up and daunting light. [19:33:52] He's got more HP than I do [19:34:18] Infernal wrath, daunting light. [19:34:29] roll 1d20+8 [19:34:29] Paera rolls [ 1D20+8: 20 +8 = 28 ] [19:34:34] HOLY FUCK. [19:34:36] Oh, whoops, I just realized I did Xan's turn early. He got two this roun [19:34:58] \O_O/ [19:35:08] Okay. That's...er... [19:35:17] was that your daily? [19:35:19] Yep. [19:35:23] \@_@/ [19:35:38] And I'm gonna use my magic item power. 06[19:35:41] * Eve_Kasnora HUGS YON. [19:35:49] no cha, I only got one [19:35:50] roll 1d8+1d10 [19:35:55] roll 1d8 [19:35:55] Paera rolls [ 1D8: 2 ] [19:35:57] Yield ground happens after being wounded [19:35:58] roll 1d10 [19:35:58] Paera rolls [ 1D10: 1 ] 01[19:35:59] WHat power is that again? 01[19:36:04] ... 01[19:36:04] D: [19:36:05] Oh well, still 32 damage. 01[19:36:19] Moving up. If it's still standing, I'm gonna Thunderwave it [19:36:34] No, you totally got 2. That turn went Xan, Eve, Paera, gnoll, Xan, Eilenia [19:36:55] Cha, you siad you were gonna do Xan's because it doesn't effect us. [19:36:58] Oh, well damn [19:37:10] yeah, seperate combats and all. [19:37:17] If I win, I'll rejoin the party [19:37:20] When the gnoll revives, it gets 5 HP, resist 15 all, and another AP [19:37:22] Oh, and Eve gets combat advantage on it. [19:37:29] You just nuked it past its massive resist 01[19:37:48] Wow. [19:37:48] Emote that [19:38:11] Alright, let's grind out the gnoll/Xan combat in that case [19:38:22] 1d20+10 [19:38:22] Charles rolls 1D20+10: 9 +10 = 19 [19:38:35] 2d6+8 [19:38:35] Charles rolls 2D6+8: 2 4 +8 = 14 [19:38:44] Xan's go [19:38:55] Shifting back, twin strike [19:39:03] 2x1d20+10 [19:39:03] Xan rolls 2x1D20+10: ( 8 +10 = 18 ) ( 13 +10 = 23 ) = 41 [19:39:10] 1d10+5 1d8 [19:39:10] Xan rolls [ 1D10+5: 5 +5 = 10 ] [ 1D8: 6 ] = 16 [19:39:23] Meanwhile, Team Running-For-Their-Lives is going into a physical skill challenge as the gnoll packs close in 01[19:39:34] What happens to Xan after that combat? [19:39:41] Good question [19:39:51] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smCaQAURVeE [19:39:58] Xan is trained in stealth 01[19:40:01] D: [19:40:04] Did Xan make it? [19:40:12] dont know yet [19:40:16] .... [19:40:17] sigh [19:40:22] Eve's going back in. [19:40:24] 1d20+10 [19:40:24] Charles rolls 1D20+10: 11 +10 = 21 [19:40:29] 2d6+10 [19:40:29] Charles rolls 2D6+10: 5 4 +10 = 19 [19:40:34] 19 more damage on Xan 01[19:40:45] Xan is a Ranger, not an Avenger. :( [19:40:46] Xan's go [19:40:46] that 19 he rolled the first time didnt hit [19:40:51] had a +2 to defenses from yg [19:40:58] yg? [19:41:01] yield ground [19:41:10] Aah 06[19:41:15] * Charles nods [19:41:17] and I'll use Iron mind after the second hit [19:41:25] shift back, fire twice [19:41:27] Uhm. [19:41:30] 2x1d20+10 [19:41:30] Xan rolls 2x1D20+10: ( 19 +10 = 29 ) ( 16 +10 = 26 ) = 55 [19:41:38] 2x1d10+5 1d8 [19:41:38] Xan rolls [ 2x1D10+5: ( 3 +5 = 8 ) ( 10 +5 = 15 ) = 23 ] [ 1D8: 3 ] = 26 [19:41:45] Day-um [19:42:12] Alright, roll init, whoever's going baclk [19:42:29] Also, from this distance, you can see maybe a dozen gnolls coming from around the temple, maybe more [19:42:39] It'll be a narrow gap for you to get in and get out if you don't want to get swamped [19:42:44] Oh man [19:42:50] no, If I see them, I'm not going. [19:42:58] Eve is heroic but not suicidal [19:43:12] If I die, it's all good guys, I'll roll up another character [19:43:18] -_- [19:43:21] Xan is hardly phanos. [19:43:43] 1d20+10 [19:43:43] Charles rolls 1D20+10: 19 +10 = 29 [19:43:49] 2d6+10 [19:43:49] Charles rolls 2D6+10: 4 5 +10 = 19 [19:43:55] yep, I'm down [19:44:05] Aaaand, damn. [19:44:12] Very down [19:44:17] -14 [19:44:40] Alright, this is going to be handled like a skill challenge so I don't have to run a combat with dozens of minions 01[19:44:53] How much does a rez cost at this level? 5000? 9000? [19:44:58] But for Eve (and Xan if he wakes back up), combat checks will count for successes [19:45:08] Guys, seriously, get the fuck out of there. [19:45:08] 500, I think 01[19:45:16] WHy did you stay behind anyway? [19:45:24] To cover your escape. [19:45:30] and to leave no survivors [19:46:36] Rusty, roll your death saves [19:46:41] how many? [19:46:43] 1d20 [19:46:43] Xan rolls 1D20: 11 [19:46:44] 1d20 [19:46:44] if you roll a 20, you can get back up [19:46:44] Xan rolls 1D20: 20 01[19:46:46] ... [19:46:48] HAHAHAHA 01[19:46:48] Wow. [19:46:49] fucking right [19:46:51] Hahahaha, well SHIT 01[19:46:54] AHahahaha aHaha aha hahahahahah ahaahhaahahhahaa 01[19:46:55] Fuuko 01[19:46:57] We take back everything 01[19:46:59] Everything. [19:47:00] I'm going to go down fighting dude. [19:47:01] DO EEEET! 01[19:47:12] Dude, get out of there. 01[19:47:16] We're already safe. [19:47:21] Hell no, he doesn't fight like that. [19:47:28] Not yet [19:47:32] We've got a skill challenge to do [19:47:40] 2x1d20+10 [19:47:40] Xan rolls 2x1D20+10: ( 4 +10 = 14 ) ( 1 +10 = 11 ) = 25 [19:47:46] for mediocre rolls [19:47:51] can I AP for an attack here? [19:47:55] Absolutely [19:48:07] doing so [19:48:14] its a basic, right? [19:48:19] 1d20+10 [19:48:19] Xan rolls 1D20+10: 9 +10 = 19 [19:48:23] You can use any one of your attack powers when you AP [19:48:31] oh, well fuck it, twin striking then [19 :48:34] 2x1d20+10 [19:48:34] Xan rolls 2x1D20+10: ( 15 +10 = 25 ) ( 5 +10 = 15 ) = 40 01[19:48:35] Yep. Just think of it as a free standard action [19:48:45] 1d10+5 1d8 [19:48:45] Xan rolls [ 1D10+5: 9 +5 = 14 ] [ 1D8: 3 ] = 17 [19:48:46] One hit. Roll it. [19:48:48] DEAD [19:48:54] HAH 01[19:48:58] Wow [19:49:09] Holy shit. 01[19:49:57] Too bad we can't loot the bodies. Yet, anyway [19:50:25] ROLL THAT BEAUTIFUL STEALTH CHECK! [19:50:45] THen we're home free and Paera can stop trying to be a martyr 01[19:51:06] What if he beat sPaera's perception? [19:51:16] He's not hiding from her [19:51:48] I'm going to burn this fucking chapel down. 01[19:52:03] ... wont' that make it harder to reconsecrate it when the dwarves finally reclaim it? [19:52:06] It's a stone building [19:52:08] Resses cost 500 at heroic. [19:52:10] oh, well damn 01[19:52:11] aah [19:52:17] If you can find a way to burn stone, go right ahead 01[19:52:17] Well, it's a dwarf fortress. [19:52:17] then I'm going to loot the body and sneak the hells out. [19:52:19] Plus the cost of the ritual 01[19:52:23] You can probably find a way to burn stone [19:52:24] Hey hey hey [19:52:28] Who has the gunpowder? [19:52:36] We've still got to do a skill challenge? [19:52:55] The gnolls are still after you, and you're kinda just arguing over wether to go back for Xan [19:52:59] Not me, Paera doesn't carry extra shit. :V [19:53:13] Eve started running. 06[19:53:24] * Charles nods [19:53:36] I'd say that's a stealth check, Xan [19:53:38] I don't think I have the gunpowder [19:53:44] 1d20+9 [19:53:44] Xan rolls 1D20+9: 1 +9 = 10 [19:53:47] :( [19:53:48] Uuuuuh. [19:53:54] :FUCKING GONK: [19:54:15] Looks like I'm going to have to run too. 01[19:54:29] aw [19:55:03] One failure on the skill challenge [19:55:17] As a reminder, streetwise, history, and the like are also useful for urban chases [19:55:48] Perception? [19:55:49] I'm going to Endurance to maintain pace. [19:55:54] To find an alley? [19:55:58] Perception works, yeah [19:55:59] And out-stamina the sprinting gnolls [19:56:02] Can I see what's going on at the temple from here? [19:56:04] 1d20+11 [19:56:04] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+11: 20 +11 = 31 [19:56:13] QUIT WITH THE SWING ROLLS [19:56:15] Paera: You can see that someone tried to close the door and failed [19:56:33] 1d20+10 [19:56:33] Xan rolls 1D20+10: 16 +10 = 26 [19:56:35] Since Xan was trying to keep out of sight, you might not see him [19:56:44] thats to duck off [19:56:48] and to hide [19:56:50] 1d20+9 [19:56:51] Xan rolls 1D20+9: 11 +9 = 20 [19:57:31] Yon, seriously, stop standing in the middle of the street when a HORDE OF RAVENOUS GNOLLS ARE BEARING DOWN ON YOU 01[19:57:38] Stop getting angry. :( [19:58:10] I'm not angry, I'm exciting. [19:58:13] This is intense. [19:58:19] excited* 01[19:58:52] oooh [19:59:40] Anyone from the girl's track team want to make some kind of roll at this point? 01[19:59:49] Hm. [19:59:50] I made an endurnace [19:59:52] 31 [20:00:05] Yeah, I was looking for someone else to do something for that, too 01[20:00:11] I'll try HIstory to try to figure out the city layout 01[20:00:18] 1d20+13 [20:00:18] Eilenia rolls 1D20+13: 20 +13 = 33 [20:00:48] I'm trying to figure out what I can roll here. Something with perception or a shitty try at stealth. 01[20:01:21] Perception sounds reasonable if you're trying to figure out a place without gnolls [20:01:46] Yeah. I guess I will do that. [20:01:49] 1d20+6 [20:01:49] Paera rolls 1D20+6: 9 +6 = 15 [20:02:14] Oh shit, gondolas [20:02:27] I perform an acrobatics check to use them like a zip-line or something! [20:02:33] Showing Paera and Eilenia how. [20:03:07] 1d20+9 [20:03:07] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+9: 5 +9 = 14 [20:03:20] quick, one of you aid with an acrobatics [20:03:35] using dungeoneering to find my way through the sewers [20:03:39] 1d20+10 [20:03:39] Xan rolls 1D20+10: 8 +10 = 18 01[20:03:41] I'll try to aid... ? 01[20:03:46] 1d20+4 [20:03:46] Eilenia rolls 1D20+4: 10 +4 = 14 [20:03:50] That's a success, on both sides [20:03:52] Untrained, and I don't have a bonus. [20:03:55] Awesome [20:04:01] Emote it, you guys, since you have pretty clear goals here [20:04:01] Nevermind then! [20:08:22] :D [20:09:00] hahahaha [20:12:28] It sucks when your character is torn between their desire to cry in relief and their desire to puke after the gondola stunt. :V [20:12:41] haha [20:12:45] hahaha [20:12:46] I was wondering what that was [20:12:58] "Oh Xan you're safe! *hug and vomit*" [20:12:59] It's entirely possible to cry and vomit at the same time. :| 01[20:13:04] hahahhahaha [20:13:58] man... [20:14:07] today was like Xan Characterization Day ++ for me. [20:14:12] It would be funny if Xan got vomited on. [20:14:32] I think I personally care about Xan 500% more now than I did previously. 01[20:15:19] haha [20:15:57] Well, that's cool then [20:16:09] He's had some really good crits. You should have cared earlier:P [20:16:19] Crits are crits. [20:16:23] this has been my most statistically effective D&D character ever when it comes to rolls [20:16:31] 3.5 experience included [20:16:34] That was "I'm... not... done... YET!" better than I've ever seen it in DnD. [20:17:12] I mean.... you flat-out pulled, flavor wise, an Epic-Level ability. 01[20:17:12] haha [20:17:19] Coming back from the dead. [20:17:25] For all intents and purposes. [20:18:25] Now, here's the ten thousand dollar question: Do you want to decompress here, or do you want to do the epilogue tonight, when you head back to town? [20:19:24] I kinda feel like we're at a good stopping point, but maybe that's just me. 01[20:19:25] I am uncomfortably energetic 01[20:19:36] We could stop, but I can go on [20:19:39] I think it's a good stopping point, yeah [20:19:42] I'm actually having fun tonight [20:20:25] Would people be free for another night this week to do the epilogue? [20:20:40] If not, I'll run it next wednesday, but still. [20:20:51] maybe tomorrow, cant verify [20:22:05] I'm gonna call the 'official' section here. If people want to talk and decompress in-character, it can still go on, but, you know, there will be no more crises emerging 01[20:22:42] I'll be available [20:22:46] thats cool [20:23:11] Tomorrow we have the youkai game. :| [20:23:29] Well, perhaps sunday. 01[20:24:21] Sunday I GM another game [20:27:45] I'm liking my free nights to do whatever 01[20:27:53] Liking? [20:28:15] Present tense of like? 01[20:28:42] Now I got less enthused about Xan. :| [20:30:15] Odal's Fen is like the world's tiniest Mos Eisley [20:30:25] Hahahahaha [20:30:41] hahaha [20:34:49] rolling Insight to see if Xan is telling the truth and he is just completely cold and analytical [20:34:52] 1d20+9 [20:34:52] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+9: 12 +9 = 21 [20:35:33] Well, I'm only at +! for bluff, but yes [20:35:42] hm. 06[20:38:20] * Eilenia sighs 01[20:40:29] Why wasn't this brought up, out of character, EARLIER? [20:41:23] because I'm seriously fine NOT having you guys think Xan is this really awesome guy. I actually DID design this into his persona. 01[20:41:50] ... well, the thing is, it should have been brought up earlier because this is a thing that could destroy the party, and the entire game WITH it. 01[20:42:02] WHat are we supposed to do? [20:42:06] Dem: The game is ending its season anyways. 01[20:42:17] I mean destroy the game forever. Not just the season. 01[20:42:23] I liked this game. [20:42:24] Xan leaving? nah [20:42:33] If the group breaks up now, that means that some shit could happen when the game resumes to bring them back together [20:42:35] It just means I play someone different season 2 01[20:42:54] eugh 01[20:43:02] I seriously don't feel well [20:43:03] Did that seriously not occcur to you? Because 'the group breaks up and gets back together' is a really, really common dramatic element 01[20:43:05] My stomach hurts. 01[20:43:09] it never did [20:43:28] This was the milest fashion in which I could have delivered this news [20:44:26] Honestly, I wasn't expecting Xan to drop this bombshell now. I was expecting to deliver it myself sometime during season 2. Like, this is a story. Bad things happen, besides temporary HP losses [20:45:22] Yeah [20:45:26] I'm all for PC secrets. [20:45:37] Dem, we have to have SOME kind of conflict between the PCs. [20:45:37] For example, Eve's a rapist [20:45:41] OH SHI- [20:45:43] SHUT UP 01[20:45:46] I guess that's true. [20:45:48]
