Start of #Exalted buffer: Mon Nov 30 22:21:40 2009 [17:01:18] * NovaSeaker (novaseaker@c-67-190-201-163.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted [17:01:21] Hi Nova :3 [17:01:30] Hello, Nova. [17:01:32] Now hostin Gametable [17:01:44] hey, than ks for the text [17:02:07] I'm home sick from work and I was zonked out [17:02:18] How sick? :( [17:02:38] headache, slight nausia, sniffles [17:02:43] hello Ran [17:02:53] Ready for HOT BLOODEDNESS?! [17:03:01] AS ALWAYS [17:03:03] http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2009/august/artpanel_081.jpg Okay, that's interesting [17:03:13] Apparently Thousand Needles is getting an instance [17:03:45] Coastline is tooth-shaped? [17:06:08] Huh? [17:06:16] * Phanos (rustangel@ip-118-219.atvci.net) has joined #Exalted [17:06:19] Oi [17:06:27] * Phanos is now known as LostInTangents [17:06:32] Heya. [17:06:36] I'm trying to read the little sign [17:07:01] I imagine those are two seperate thoughts [17:07:33] http://www.mmo-champion.com/news-2/player-gets-all-achievements-shadowed-unit-frames/ Aaaaaaagh [17:07:37] That's fucked up [17:07:54] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe5gNEiUxMk This is kinda weird considering that cats don't taste sweet [17:09:06] * Demota is now known as Eilenia [17:09:25] Ahahahaha! [17:09:30] * Yon is now known as Paera [17:09:33] * Ranakel is now known as Ottonius [17:10:56] New player? [17:11:13] I got a few actions in the last session... But besides, yes. [17:11:17] Urgh. No. I will not get back into WoW. [17:11:32] * LostInTangents is now known as Xan [17:11:37] Hi, I'm an armless Gith [17:11:50] Nice to meet you, I'm a shirtless guy. [17:12:06] I am a Jedi! [17:12:08] I am a Jedi! [17:12:22] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ivt9e9AGXtc [17:12:27] You're a... Double Jedi ? [17:12:39] You... [17:12:41] You... [17:12:46] DOUBLE JEDI. [17:12:48] ahahahaha [17:13:50] 1d20 [17:13:51] Eilenia rolls 1D20: 15 [17:14:08] I wish this game wasn't stuck on a weekday [17:14:34] Even though my job is cushy as hell, it's still sort of draining to work and then have to run a game [17:15:18] I've got a really draining job. Weekly games are all I can manage [17:16:37] Well, it's kind of getting to the point where two weeks in a row, I *really* don't want to run on a monday, so I need to look at my options. [17:16:51] * Eilenia nods [17:17:05] We could talk about swapping Youkai and Odal. I dunno. [17:17:26] Nah, thursday's a raid night for me. [17:17:27] Wednesday and Thursday in a row might break Nova, though [17:17:40] Tuesdays work. [17:17:48] Move Odal to Tuesday, move Youkai to Monday? [17:17:48] For me [17:18:06] Tuesdays are my 'at work until midnight' night. [17:18:39] So, when's your "It's okay, I'm cool" night ? [17:18:46] Monday is bad, Tuesday is at work til midnight, wednesday is the only sharnable day, Thursday is raid night [17:18:59] Friday, saturday, and sunday are impossible for Rusty and Nova as a regular thing [17:19:02] Nah [17:19:12] I'm fairly okay with Tuesday Wednesday [17:19:48] Any day works for me. [17:19:48] hahhaah, who put the tags on the Beatles? [17:20:25] Huh [17:20:29] They updated the wilden [17:20:30] Makes me thing, maybe I should get a token too... That may help '_' [17:20:39] Didn't change their name [17:20:44] huh [17:20:54] 64x64 png. [17:20:54] And.... now apparently they have to wait till second level for their racial powers? wut? [17:20:59] ... that's weird [17:21:14] Dem: That was me [17:22:22] I don't see tags on the Beatles :( [17:23:12] Odd [17:23:34] Odd indeed [17:23:59] Mouse over them? [17:24:04] Maybe if I connected first. :downs: [17:24:16] I'm in #Odal [17:25:00] * NovaSeaker is now known as Eve_Kasnora [17:28:29] Ooooo [17:28:40] The Traveler is getting a channel divinity article next month [17:28:57] Dang. I was making a token, but I like the one that was just handdrawn too much. [17:29:04] huh. Odd [17:29:07] haha [17:29:13] What was that? [17:30:29] I drew a circle and wrote "NEW GUY" with an arrow pointing to the circle? [17:30:41] haha [17:30:51] Okay, so the key for the map: [17:31:12] Square in the 5x5 room is a dais like you've seen preserved bodies on in the worldly mausoleums. This one's is empty. [17:31:21] Gt's up I take it? [17:31:25] Xs are furniture which can be moved and count as difficult terrain [17:31:26] Yeah [17:31:43] Two bars crossing a line is a door [17:31:48] A circle on a line is a window [17:31:52] Yeah, GT is up [17:31:59] Firing shit up. [17:32:11] I'd like to point out that one of you is a grade school motherfucker. [17:32:28] http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/7697/ottonius.png If that may help. Cause I have pretty much no idea on how to insert it on the table, and doing it blinded due to a lack of visible menus would be delicate. [17:33:16] One moment [17:33:19] Who, me? [17:33:24] Actually. I can tell you how [17:33:27] Also, an update on what the heck's going on? [17:33:30] In Gametable, look for the "pogs" folder [17:33:45] We decided to go into the Shadowfell to hunt down the Ioun stone [17:33:57] Then a bunch of cultists rushed us and we freed some prisoners [17:34:14] We're still dealing with the cultist rush [17:34:33] Then Eve went batshit when she realized the cultists were wearing human/oid flesh as leather armor [17:34:33] Kana: Then after you put it in your pogs folder, hit F5 and look for it [17:34:38] *nods* [17:35:01] You went into a house with two cultists, after alerting, like, every cultist in the shadow necropolis, killed one and drove the other off [17:35:12] And now the cultists and their undead minions are converging on the house [17:35:25] And Eve is facing them down because what the fuck, it's Eve. [17:35:26] And Eve is standing out front, as if waiting for her bolivian army ending. [17:36:01] THEY'RE COMING! LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOON! [17:36:05] Now all I have to do is find how to put one anyway, with my lack of menus. [17:36:54] Hope you don't mind the GT help, Cha [17:36:56] hahhaha [17:37:13] Yeah, no problem [17:37:16] you don't need to do anything with menus [17:37:26] I couldn't find the door pog, so I kludged it [17:37:41] heh [17:37:52] I used to have better underlays that auto-centered themselves [17:37:58] and I used to have window underlays [17:38:00] Oh, and what's the source image of that? [17:38:12] Then I don't know with what else should I tamper with, as right click does nothing [17:38:31] So are we actually placed properly in the map? I'm a little confused [17:38:39] Okay, dragged him in [17:38:57] You don't need to do anything with right click in Gametable. [17:39:09] You just put the picture in the /pogs directory in the gametable folder [17:39:35] Well, looks like I'll stand with her. Can I look for a viable perch? [17:39:42] It's there actually. [17:40:16] And, it apparently appeared. Interesting, oh well [17:40:32] Also, we level 7? [17:40:44] level 6 [17:40:45] I... think so, yeah [17:40:47] 6 [17:40:51] I think everyone's supposed to be inside the building [17:40:51] ok [17:40:53] I put the pog there [17:40:54] Okay [17:40:57] Except Eve [17:40:58] Well, people can be outside if they want [17:41:13] But Eve's not doing it because it's tactically the soundest thing in the world [17:41:13] Can I try to get on the roof? [17:41:15] Yeah, but not that far over with the beetles and the flesh titan [17:41:38] You can *try*, but you've got as long to get up there as it takes for the horde to get to the house [17:41:44] Roll inits [17:41:56] I'll start just outside then, since it'd be easier. [17:42:02] 1d20+10 [17:42:02] Xan rolls 1D20+10: 18 +10 = 28 [17:42:15] Remember, you all have +2 to init due to me being a warlord. [17:42:21] 1d20+7 [17:42:21] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+7: 9 +7 = 16 [17:42:24] Oh, worth noting: The flesh titan is about as tall as the house itself, which is a two-story sort of affair [17:42:24] 1d20+8 [17:42:25] Eilenia rolls 1D20+8: 6 +8 = 14 [17:42:26] Sweet! I love warlords! [17:42:29] 1d20+5 [17:42:29] Ottonius rolls 1D20+5: 3 +5 = 8 [17:42:40] Then 30. [17:42:44] And it's only Large? [17:42:48] And thanks for playing a warlord, whoever you are. [17:43:01] You're welcome, man. [17:43:02] What's the huge horizontal line? [17:43:13] probably a road [17:43:25] I'm a cloaked gith with no arms, cool goggles, and a floating silver orb following me around that occasionally bleeds. I appear to be aging at a rapid rate. [17:43:38] Is the yellow box Eve's light radius? [17:43:47] The two large horizontal lines unconnected to the house is the road [17:43:51] Figuratively, yeah [17:43:58] My actual radius is like, 20 squares [17:44:09] Nova: We could make it huge if that helps your immerson [17:44:20] nooo [17:44:23] Sure! [17:44:43] 1d20+5 [17:44:43] Paera rolls 1D20+5: 8 +5 = 13 [17:44:59] 1d20+4 [17:45:00] Charles rolls 1D20+4: 2 +4 = 6 [17:45:03] 1d20+2 [17:45:03] Charles rolls 1D20+2: 1 +2 = 3 [17:45:09] 1d20+5 [17:45:10] Charles rolls 1D20+5: 15 +5 = 20 [17:45:12] 1d20+6 [17:45:12] Charles rolls 1D20+6: 2 +6 = 8 [17:45:16] Great going, Nova. Now I can't hit as many guys with my area attacks. :( [17:45:16] Behind Eve pls :3 [17:45:58] Sure thing. I'm just a little bit geographicaly lost... Um... though, just to double-check things... Your 1[W] damage all around affects all enemies, not all creatures, right ? [17:46:14] It depends on what the power says [17:46:20] Some target all creatures, some target enemies [17:46:31] I know, I'm precisely asking about that power. [17:46:44] Enemies [17:46:48] Good. [17:47:27] Any enemy that starts their turn next to me takes 1d10 damage [17:48:31] Activating Boots of Spider Climbing daily ability, move with a climb speed up to my speed up the side of the house as a move action. By the way, you'll probably want to be granting me the OA attacks, since I do a lot of single-strike ranged damage. [17:48:56] If you happen to have Surprise Attack, that is. [17:49:14] Yeah, Xan's the striker [17:49:38] I think I'm the only one in the party? [17:49:56] Otto's a hybrid sorc, IIRC [17:49:59] The only full striker, yeah [17:49:59] I'm 50% striker, 50% leader, and 100% awesome [17:50:01] Cool. [17:50:23] Didn't know hybrids were an option. I'm sure Xan would be a hybrid Psion. [17:50:34] Well, hybrids weren't out when we started [17:50:41] Anyway, It is my turn, correct? [17:50:52] Once Charles gives the go-ahead, prolly [17:51:14] I totally forgot I had the insta-perch boots:) [17:51:17] Eve's been a hybrid from the start [17:51:29] As soon as hybrid rules came out [17:51:40] She's a Hybrid Paladin/Fighter Multiclass Ranger [17:52:01] Undead, huh? [17:52:07] I guess they're vulnerable to radiant? [17:52:10] Paera's gonna have fun. [17:52:21] Oooh, undead. [17:52:37] All of Eve's attacks do radiant damage with her sunsword :V [17:52:42] Them being so densely packed would have made wonder with my explosive pyre power. Too bad I used it to umpress them. [17:52:52] Impress* [17:52:53] So, I still have an attack. What are the enemies, please? [17:53:09] Oh shit [17:53:12] Whose this Magister fellow? [17:53:16] So you really made those flames [17:53:19] He's someone we don't know [17:53:27] Of course I did ! And it was totally worth it. [17:53:27] Someone we should shoot? [17:53:28] Yeah, he's a dude who wants to kill you [17:53:32] I thought you were just joking about those, like a cinematic effect [17:53:35] And he's more impressively dressed than the others. [17:53:41] Totally someone we should shoot with a name like Magister, too. [17:53:42] I didn't. [17:53:55] By the way [17:53:59] That's awesome [17:54:01] I claim Hunter's priviledge [17:54:11] I add 3 to my quarry damage til the end of this combat [17:54:16] or til the end of my stance [17:54:21] cool [17:54:25] Gather them good, Eve, it be aoe time [17:54:38] (Also, I'd advise cleaning/moving the magister or lackey 2 at some point before I act.) [17:55:19] Quarrying Lackey 3, Twin Strike [17:55:27] er, lackey 2 [17:55:54] 1d20+11 1d20+11 [17:55:54] Xan rolls [ 1D20+11: 4 +11 = 15 ] [ 1D20+11: 20 +11 = 31 ] = 46 [17:55:59] crit [17:56:05] Wheee, crit time ! [17:56:22] One hit, and he goes down [17:56:38] 33 damage. [17:56:47] Thanks, pal. *hi fives Xan* [17:56:52] :O [17:57:37] POst it [17:58:47] Done. [17:58:52] 1d20+11 [17:58:52] Charles rolls 1D20+11: 8 +11 = 19 [17:58:59] 19 hit Eve's will? [17:59:14] By the way, I can't seem to manipulate my pog past moving it for some reason [17:59:20] Yes [17:59:48] I hate to ask this, but can someone track my HP/surges for me? It just isn't working over here for some reason. [17:59:54] Weird [18:00:20] :/ [18:00:21] Alright, Eve's dazed until end of the magister's next turn and takes [18:00:24] 1d8+5 [18:00:24] Charles rolls 1D8+5: 3 +5 = 8 [18:00:33] 8 necrotic damage. [18:00:43] Dazed isn't good [18:01:00] And two of the corpses move forward with that hit [18:01:02] Least I get that movie [18:01:43] Never realized I only had a distance longbow +2 though..always thought it was a brutal longbow..oh yeah, forgot about the rebuild [18:02:38] Eve runs up to that position, granting CA until the start of her next turn, but hey, she's already dazed and does that anyway [18:02:52] She could charge, couldn't she? [18:02:57] She could [18:03:12] Charge would work [18:03:12] But I deal 1d10 radiant damage to each of those corpses on their turn now [18:03:23] Aaaah [18:04:04] Could someone please set my counter to 72? [18:04:23] Done [18:05:10] Thanks [18:05:28] Sorry it keeps hopping around. Those are my vain attempts to manipulate the numbers. [18:05:59] You're up, Dem [18:06:05] okay. [18:06:14] I'm a ltitle distracted at the moment. sorry if I'm slow [18:06:24] speaking of distracted... [18:06:27] I need to make dinner [18:07:01] I'll try to be quick. My to-hit targets are on my pog [18:08:18] ugh [18:08:40] Illusions of avarice [18:09:26] as a standard [18:09:46] As a minor, activating illusions of avarice. [18:10:17] vs will. Left to right, top to bottom [18:10:25] 19x1d20+9 [18:10:25] Eilenia rolls 19x1D20+9: ( 3 +9 = 12 ) ( 17 +9 = 26 ) ( 17 +9 = 26 ) ( 17 +9 = 26 ) ( 3 +9 = 12 ) ( 2 +9 = 11 ) ( 7 +9 = 16 ) ( 5 +9 = 14 ) ( 16 +9 = 25 ) ( 17 +9 = 26 ) ( 9 +9 = 18 ) ( 5 +9 = 14 ) ( 6 +9 = 15 ) ( 17 +9 = 26 ) ( 4 +9 = 13 ) ( 14 +9 = 23 ) ( 15 +9 = 24 ) ( 4 +9 = 13 ) ( 15 +9 = 24 ) = 364 [18:10:27] vs Will [18:11:40] Anything hit moves 3 towards it. [18:11:50] Anything in or adjacent to it is immobilized. [18:11:55] save ends [18:12:06] Regardless of it for the second part? [18:12:15] Regardless of what? [18:12:21] Hit, rather [18:12:32] It has to get hit [18:13:08] Alright [18:13:31] Is that all the movements? [18:13:55] Lackey 1 wasn't hit? [18:14:03] Tossing a sacred flame at the magister, that's all for this turn. [18:14:08] I'm not done yet [18:14:16] I plan on spending an AP [18:14:19] Oh [18:14:21] Alright [18:14:33] Spending an AP, Orbmaster's Incendiary Detonation [18:15:30] Burst 1, so... [18:15:49] Corpse 5, corpse 2, cultist 2, corpse 3, flesh titan [18:16:00] 5x1d20+9 [18:16:00] Eilenia rolls 5x1D20+9: ( 12 +9 = 21 ) ( 14 +9 = 23 ) ( 18 +9 = 27 ) ( 9 +9 = 18 ) ( 11 +9 = 20 ) = 109 [18:16:02] vs Reflex [18:16:09] 1d6+5 [18:16:10] Eilenia rolls 1D6+5: 5 +5 = 10 [18:16:16] 10 force damage and knocked prone if it hits [18:16:56] Move to back off.

[18:19:57] aw [18:20:03] ...Huh. One of the reasons that the scientists England sent to check out Mozart thought he was a child instead of a deceitful midget was that he ignored the harpsicord to play with his kitten [18:20:08] Yeah, the illusion missed him [18:20:27] aw man [18:20:36] why'd you drag away that minion I was gonna autokill? [18:20:48] I hit every single one of them. :| [18:20:57] So you could autokill more next time ? [18:21:00] Hee [18:21:06] Yeah but now I can't autokill it :( [18:21:10] Oh, I'll be expanding the area soon [18:21:14] You still have one around :o [18:21:32] Yeah but now I'm only half as cool :( [18:22:09] I sympathize; i wanted to vault the flesh titan myself. But don't worry. We're heroic as a team. [18:22:32] :unsmith: [18:22:55] Oh, do you know SomethingAwful forum emoticons, Ran? [18:23:01] Nope [18:23:16] We reference them a lot in the channel [18:23:23] Like :unsmith: [18:23:33] I noticed that. [18:23:35] I realized, a second too late, that I used :V when talking to my boss today. :( [18:23:45] Ahaha [18:23:56] hahaha [18:24:16] hee [18:26:08] Well, I accomplished nothing, so that's my turn [18:26:20] Can you move away? D: [18:26:33] Oh, wait. You used the move action to get closer to Eve [18:27:19] ohshit [18:27:27] this guy can revive minions, can't he? [18:27:29] Yeah, I kinda need to be closer if I'm gonna turn or divine glow or anything [18:27:38] 1d20+10 [18:27:39] Charles rolls 1D20+10: 9 +10 = 19 [18:27:42] * Eilenia nods [18:27:49] 1d6+2 [18:27:49] Charles rolls 1D6+2: 1 +2 = 3 [18:27:53] 3 damage, Otto [18:28:13] Roger that [18:28:43] 1d20+8 [18:28:43] Charles rolls 1D20+8: 2 +8 = 10 [18:29:52] how did corpse 1 get all the way up there? [18:30:00] Physics [18:30:16] ho-shit [18:30:42] Fun. [18:30:52] Quarrying the magister, then hrmm [18:30:53] I'm guessing he got autorevived or something [18:31:04] Thundertusk Boar Strike [18:31:06] Oh, or just gets thrown [18:31:15] He wasn't hit with your attack [18:31:19] 2x1d20+11 [18:31:19] Xan rolls 2x1D20+11: ( 18 +11 = 29 ) ( 16 +11 = 27 ) = 56 [18:31:30] Two hits [18:31:37] Oh, he's THAT kind of Titan. [18:31:43] Someone call Batman [18:31:45] FOOTBAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL [18:32:16] 2x1d20+6 [18:32:16] Xan rolls 2x1D20+6: ( 4 +6 = 10 ) ( 11 +6 = 17 ) = 27 [18:32:21] Push him 5 squares [18:32:25] and also [18:32:28] 1d8+3 [18:32:28] Xan rolls 1D8+3: 1 +3 = 4 [18:32:31] 4 damage [18:32:57] You rolled s20s for damage [18:33:12] * Ottonius waves his arms around about his lost turn [18:33:16] ...Yeah, reroll that. :| [18:33:25] Oh, shoot, I totally missed you [18:33:41] Take your turn once we resolve Xan, then we can do yours again in normal init later in the turn [18:33:46] 2x1d10+6 [18:33:46] Xan rolls 2x1D10+6: ( 4 +6 = 10 ) ( 1 +6 = 7 ) = 17 [18:33:48] Oh course. [18:33:52] Nooooo [18:34:49] You mean next turn [18:37:19] Firsthand, I use storm walk, shifting back one square before the power. [18:37:35] 1d20+7 [18:37:35] Ottonius rolls 1D20+7: 9 +7 = 16 [18:37:40] (vs. Fort) [18:37:40] Hit [18:38:28] 1d8+8 [18:38:29] Ottonius rolls 1D8+8: 4 +8 = 12 [18:38:41] (Oh, that was agianst the lackey that attacked me of course) [18:38:54] Oh, the immobilization is save ends [18:38:57] * Charles nods [18:39:34] Then, I take his dagger as a minor action, sacralizing it as a symbol of my vengeance against that cult, if that's okay. [18:39:48] Yeah, feel free [18:40:44] Perfect. Then, moving forward a bit, spending an action point (the tatoo gives me 5 temporary HP) and, using flattening charge against the flesh titan, to get it back to prone, hopefully. [18:40:45] Is that dagger gonna be a treasure parcel? :| [18:40:58] Sure [18:41:07] * Charles nods [18:41:17] Mundane equipment isn't part of treasure parcels [18:41:20] (Eilenia > It's actually the equipements I picked at character creation, but I can't decently have a bastard sword in prison, can I ?) [18:41:30] remember, after level 5 you can start with as many daggers as you want :V [18:41:45] Haha [18:41:58] Bastard sword? [18:42:01] 1d20+11 [18:42:01] Ottonius rolls 1D20+11: 11 +11 = 22 [18:42:04] I have forged over a thousand blades [18:42:07] (vs Flesh titan's AC) [18:42:13] Hits [18:42:25] 1d4+4 [18:42:25] Ottonius rolls 1D4+4: 4 +4 = 8 [18:42:38] And he is prone. The power isn't expended. Done with my turn. [18:42:41] Repeated hits to prone! Poorman's immobilize! [18:43:05] You need a bastard sword Otto? [18:43:16] Yeah, Eve's got a surplus of the fucking things. :V [18:43:24] Yeah, I have an extra one [18:43:26] :V [18:45:02] HUNTER'S GOT TITAN [18:45:37] 1d20+11 [18:45:37] Charles rolls 1D20+11: 12 +11 = 23 [18:45:44] 1d8+5 [18:45:44] Charles rolls 1D8+5: 1 +5 = 6 [18:45:55] fucking knew it! [18:46:03] Otto needs to get up on the Titan's back and ride it around while it flails at minions. It'll be just like Arkham Asylum! [18:46:05] Well, the equipement I took were, a mage's bastard sword +2, a vengeful dagger +1 (check), and a leather armor +2. [18:46:26] Paera, I'll think about it for next turn. [18:46:38] Even if I didn't played Arkham Asylum :o [18:46:44] How appropriate, Eve has a vengeful bastard sword +1 [18:46:54] Keep in mind that Elena's fire zone can expand to a burst 3. [18:47:03] Taken from a vengeful bastard. :| [18:47:09] Ahah [18:47:10] haha [18:47:11] Was it? [18:47:24] Up to you, I guess. [18:47:32] I don't recall that [18:47:40] I thought it was something I forgot [18:47:58] Nope, you started the game with it, I think? Or maybe you got it enchanted in the aftermath of Harborhead [18:48:19] It's a twilight vampire sword. :| [18:48:26] I didn't start with a magic sword, yeah [18:48:33] Probably got it from Harborhead [18:48:39] I meanted you started with the one that got enchanted [18:48:44] Oh yeah [18:49:03] Oh, Nova, aftereffect of the blood tendrils is -2 to attacks, save ends [18:49:12] Her vengeful bastard sword is the sword she was given upon becoming a templar. And she took it with er when she was exiled [18:49:13] http://www.destructoid.com/videogame-legal-troll-strikes-again-subpoenas-bill-gates-156440.phtml [18:49:18] Okay [18:49:24] Do I get hit? [18:49:29] http://www.destructoid.com/dawn-of-war-ii-chaos-rising-gets-a-release-date-156436.phtml [18:49:38] Does 23 hit your will? [18:49:41] wait [18:49:47] are corpse 5 and 2 still dead? [18:50:14] Nope, they got repaired [18:50:18] okay good [18:50:32] move over there and Strength from Valor the three of them [18:50:49] counter clockwise from the cultist [18:50:56] 3x1d20+11 vs Fort [18:50:56] Eve_Kasnora rolls 3x1D20+11: ( 20 +11 = 31 ) ( 18 +11 = 29 ) ( 16 +11 = 27 ) = 87 [18:51:02] All hit [18:51:03] Critted the cultist [18:51:32] 2d6+14 crit damage [18:51:32] Eve_Kasnora rolls 2D6+14: 4 3 +14 = 21 [18:51:38] wait [18:51:49] 2d6+16 [18:51:49] Eve_Kasnora rolls 2D6+16: 3 6 +16 = 25 [18:51:59] That's to the cultist [18:52:01] It does [18:52:13] And the corpses take 1d10+6 radiant damage [18:52:24] Alright, then you're hit and dazed until EoNT and 6 necrotic [18:52:24] And I gain 5 temp HP for every target hit [18:52:27] * Charles nore [18:52:30] *nods [18:53:25] wow, it's so weird seeing a character with only 2 encounter powers [18:53:38] Only two? [18:53:39] cause I run level 10+ games [18:53:45] heh [18:53:52] So I'm used to PCs having 3 encounter and 3 daily powers [18:53:53] I need to get back to Nesonarn sometime [18:54:02] Oh yeah. Derp. The fire only affects enemies [18:54:04] That's my turn [18:54:26] First up, using a Minor to fire off the... what's it [18:54:40] Avarice [18:55:33] Corpse 5, Corpse 2, Cultist 2, Corpse 3, Flesh Titan, Cultist 1, Corpse 4, Magister [18:55:41] 8x1d20+9 [18:55:41] Eilenia rolls 8x1D20+9: ( 18 +9 = 27 ) ( 3 +9 = 12 ) ( 19 +9 = 28 ) ( 17 +9 = 26 ) ( 20 +9 = 29 ) ( 6 +9 = 15 ) ( 9 +9 = 18 ) ( 17 +9 = 26 ) = 181 [18:55:42] Vs Will [18:56:03] If they're hit, they move 3 towards the illusion. If they move then end adjacent, they're immobilized. [18:56:07] Or on top [18:56:23] All hit except corpse 2, cultist 1, corpse 4. [18:56:54] Minor to use orb and expand the fire. [18:57:03] * Ottonius smells an attack of opportunity [18:57:14] ack, hang on [18:57:42] Cultist 1, Corpse 4 take 2 damage [18:57:55] what are you doing dem? [18:58:04] Expandingd the orb zone [18:58:08] to what? [18:58:12] to burst 3 [18:58:27] Pretend the entire thing is one square [18:58:49] Using the last minor to sustain the illusion of avarice [18:58:51] End turn [18:59:30] So the fire will last for another turn [18:59:51] Divine glow. [19:00:45] Hits flesh titan and corpse 2 an 5 if they're still up, Eve gets buffed [19:00:52] I imagine a vision of avarice for undead and orcust cultists is like, a pile of baby corpses [19:01:01] Oooo [19:01:04] Same here. [19:01:12] hahaha [19:01:13] Oh, like that's hard to get when you're an Orcus cultist [19:01:20] heh [19:01:23] They've got to be easier to make than regular corpses. :| [19:01:39] ....^_^;;; I'm sorry I brought up this line of conversation [19:01:56] It takes like, 9 months to make a baby corpse [19:02:00] What are you talking about? [19:02:03] Are they still up? Need to know what I'm rolling [19:02:58] 2 and 5 are dead [19:03:00] Eve killed them [19:03:09] for the second time [19:03:28] Dem: Yeah, but it takes 9 months plus however long to make a regular corpse [19:03:33] It's all about economies of scale [19:03:44] Oh well, maybe frying the remains will help. [19:03:48] 1d20+9 [19:03:49] Paera rolls 1D20+9: 4 +9 = 13 [19:03:53] Vs ref. :( [19:04:11] Just barely missed. :( [19:04:45] ... [19:04:51] Someone give her CA! [19:04:56] * Eve_Kasnora eyes Otto. [19:05:14] Hey, I'm bravura. I'm all about giving CA to enemies ! [19:05:26] :( [19:05:40] But I do have some bonus giving moves. [19:05:42] am I still buffed? [19:05:43] Oh well, Eve gets +2 to all attacks next turn [19:05:47] Nice [19:06:00] I'll try to make sure it's not in vain Yon :/ [19:06:55] Okay... Anyway. Using thunder leap power. First attack only against the flesh titan... [19:07:07] If I may be so bold... [19:07:16] I think she should target to Magister [19:07:18] 1d20+8 vs Fort. [19:07:19] Ottonius rolls 1D20+8: 15 +8 = 23 [19:07:29] Hits [19:07:42] 2d6+9 thunder damage [19:07:42] Ottonius rolls 2D6+9: 1 4 +9 = 14 [19:08:56] And now for the second part.. I leap over the titan, and make my secondary attack. [19:09:18] 1d20+8 vs Fort. [19:09:19] Ottonius rolls 1D20+8: 2 +8 = 10 [19:09:33] Miss :( [19:09:45] :( [19:09:53] Dangit. Oh well, can't get'em every time. Done. [19:10:30] 1d20+9 [19:10:30] Charles rolls 1D20+9: 2 +9 = 11 [19:11:31] 1d20+9 [19:11:31] Charles rolls 1D20+9: 10 +9 = 19 [19:11:48] 1d20+9 [19:11:48] Charles rolls 1D20+9: 4 +9 = 13 [19:11:50] (Note: hint hint: flanking the titan !) [19:12:02] 1d20+8 [19:12:02] Charles rolls 1D20+8: 15 +8 = 23 [19:12:03] Wait, is corpse 1 up and active again? [19:12:05] D: [19:12:11] 1d20+8 [19:12:11] Charles rolls 1D20+8: 10 +8 = 18 [19:12:21] 4d6 [19:12:21] Charles rolls 4D6: 4 3 1 6 = 14 [19:12:21] yeah [19:12:23] 4d6 [19:12:23] Charles rolls 4D6: 5 4 4 3 = 16 [19:12:35] I don't like it when he rolls 4d6 [19:12:44] when did the magister move there? [19:12:45] Oh dear [19:12:57] I just imagine Otto kinda taking him along for the ride [19:12:59] Eve > When he was moved by the shineys [19:13:04] Ah right [19:13:11] And flank I shall! [19:13:37] As some heavy weaponned guy said: WE MAKE GOOD TEAM ! [19:13:50] RAAAAAAAAAAA [19:14:04] 14 damage to Otto, 16 to Eve [19:14:07] Owwww ! [19:14:16] Cha, one got on the roof with me? [19:14:17] 1d20+2 [19:14:17] Charles rolls 1D20+2: 11 +2 = 13 [19:14:20] Activating my vengeance dagger's power as a reaction [19:14:21] Xan: Yep [19:14:23] Woah [19:14:31] Welp, there goes my temp HP buffer [19:14:45] Oh, by the way Ran, Eve speaks with the Heavy's accent. [19:14:49] Well, good thing I've got close combat shot. [19:14:52] But, you know, a woman. [19:15:11] I picture it... I think. [19:15:20] Heh [19:15:47] Though I actually picture Eve looking more swedish [19:16:04] She does look pretty Nordic, yeah [19:16:26] So basicaly, she's a viking with tits ? [19:16:28] Oh, remember that every enemy's taking 2 damage for starting their turn in the burn zone [19:17:08] Well, as a reaction to the corpse entering a square next to me [19:17:09] She's a viking with tits and no horned helm with a russian accent. [19:17:19] Close combat shot [19:17:27] 1d20+11 [19:17:27] Xan rolls 1D20+11: 15 +11 = 26 [19:17:30] So not very viking at all. [19:17:41] Okay; [19:17:42] Eve's just... "northeastern european" [19:17:48] :P [19:17:55] I do picture it rather easily, due to me being half russian on my mother's side; [19:17:58] I was reading it wrong and thought it had to be done on my turn, but its a reactionary thing, so this happens whenever it would have entered mine. Is that okay? [19:18:09] I didn't know it was on the roof with me. [19:18:28] When it entered your square, it was dead [19:18:34] Ah [19:18:44] Because it was flinged as a projectile, yes [19:18:48] Well can I ccs it as a reaction to its attack? [19:18:49] (Or rather, it died on impact) [19:18:52] Sure [19:19:06] There was my roll. [19:19:14] Hits [19:19:27] Also quarrying [19:19:30] 3d10+6 [19:19:30] Xan rolls 3D10+6: 9 4 10 +6 = 29 [19:19:40] 1d8+3 [19:19:40] Xan rolls 1D8+3: 2 +3 = 5 [19:20:24] The corpse dies [19:20:32] Again. [19:20:36] Is the magister bloodied? [19:20:50] Not yet [19:21:06] Twin Striking it. [19:21:31] 2x1d20+11 [19:21:31] Xan rolls 2x1D20+11: ( 2 +11 = 13 ) ( 16 +11 = 27 ) = 40 [19:21:43] I'm going to do this all as one big post. [19:22:38] One hit on that [19:23:00] 1d10+2 1d8+3 [19:23:01] Xan rolls [ 1D10+2: 10 +2 = 12 ] [ 1D8+3: 6 +3 = 9 ] = 21 [19:23:06] Good thing it's quarried. [19:24:15] Nice. Also, he's bloodied [19:26:53] 1d20+10 [19:26:53] Charles rolls 1D20+10: 2 +10 = 12 [19:28:20] Sorry, I need to be afk a bit here [19:29:49] dem told me to link this http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h6/ChocoBucket/parseenkisume.jpg [19:29:49] double moving, spending AP [19:29:57] Distracting Spate on Magister [19:30:00] :D [19:30:11] 1d20+15 vs. AC [19:30:11] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+15: 10 +15 = 25 [19:30:15] it's a pic of parsee from touhou. red chocobo drew it for me tonight when I asked him to draw me marisa and he was like "settle for parsee cause I did this wrong" [19:30:25] now you know~ [19:31:10] 25 hit Magister AC, Charles? [19:31:31] 2d10+12 radiant damage [19:31:32] Eve_Kasnora rolls 2D10+12: 3 5 +12 = 20 [19:31:38] 20 damage if it hits [19:32:10] 25 hits, yeah [19:32:18] s'my turn [19:32:30] oh wait [19:32:34] Divine Challenge it too [19:32:36] the magister [19:33:04] He's *almost* dead [19:33:39] Gtab: That's fantastic [19:34:13] Minor to sustain the illusion of avarice [19:34:16] Minor to fire it off [19:34:58] ocrpses, 6, 5, 2, cultist, corpse 7, 9, titan, corpse 3, magister, corpse 4, corpse 8 [19:35:14] Hey Charles. Does the skill challenge and this combat count as one encounter or two? [19:35:16] 11x1d20+9 [19:35:16] Eilenia rolls 11x1D20+9: ( 3 +9 = 12 ) ( 5 +9 = 14 ) ( 10 +9 = 19 ) ( 20 +9 = 29 ) ( 1 +9 = 10 ) ( 18 +9 = 27 ) ( 20 +9 = 29 ) ( 18 +9 = 27 ) ( 6 +9 = 15 ) ( 11 +9 = 20 ) ( 7 +9 = 16 ) = 218 [19:35:17] vs Will [19:35:29] Nova: Two [19:35:32] awesome [19:35:41] everyone! Use your APs if you gotten! [19:35:49] If you like.. [19:35:57] I mean, if you wanna save em for later, that's cool too. [19:36:00] Enemies hit have to move 3 towards it, are immobilized, save ends if they end their turn on it or adjacent [19:36:05] By the way, someone set me at 67 [19:36:12] (I just like a steady pace of using one every two combats.) [19:36:15] For my counter there. [19:36:44] I'm just going to assume every goddamn thing is immobilized because fuck it [19:37:05] Goign to attack Flesh Titan with Cloud of daggers. [19:37:16] 1d20+9 [19:37:16] Eilenia rolls 1D20+9: 3 +9 = 12 [19:37:17] vs ref [19:37:18] Fial [19:37:26] Cha: The cultist, corpses, and magister all take 1d10 radiant damage when they start their turns [19:37:36] * Charles nods [19:37:58] or not? [19:38:06] Dammit who keeps moving targets out of my aura? [19:38:10] Dem. [19:38:19] Dem why do you keep moving targets otu of my aura? [19:38:20] Titan takes 3 force damage at the start of its next turn [19:38:23] Fire fades [19:38:28] Select not to hit those around me please [19:38:35] oh wait he can't [19:38:37] blah [19:39:05] Well at least the Magister and Corpse 3 are still in it. [19:43:32] I'm just gonna skip Paera's turn until Yon gets back [19:43:49] It's not like they're moving out of her AoE range anyways. :| [19:44:13] They CAN'T [19:44:20] Because they're ALL FUCKING IMMOBILIZED [19:44:37] It's not my fault their Will defense sucks [19:44:39] Or dead [19:44:49] Yep. Oh, one thing. someone in the groupe has an at-will that doubles as a basic ranged attack ? [19:44:56] heh [19:44:59] Not me [19:45:02] Nope [19:45:31] ... huh. [19:45:40] Sustaining automatically lets me do another attack [19:45:44] It's not a separate minor action [19:45:45] Oh well, plan B. [19:45:59] We are also huge suckers for romancey stuff. [19:46:08] Xan should have a pretty decent ranged basic though [19:46:18] What IS their will defense, anyway? [19:46:21] romancey stuff? [19:46:29] Meant to say that to Gtab. [19:46:33] ah [19:46:41] Romantic comedy manga and whatnot [19:46:45] * Ottonius moves west, then does a flattening charge against the cultist. Corps 9 gets an AoO [19:46:58] Eh... Wait, no no no, cancel that, sorry [19:47:37] * Ottonius moves south, and does the same thing to the titan instead. Because it would be a shame not to use the vengeful dagger's power now that it is activated [19:47:39] what [19:47:40] oh [19:48:27] 1d20+13 vs Fort. [19:48:27] Ottonius rolls 1D20+13: 15 +13 = 28 [19:48:43] 1d4+1d10+5 [19:49:12] 1d4 1d10+5 [19:49:12] Ottonius rolls [ 1D4: 2 ] [ 1D10+5: 2 +5 = 7 ] = 9 [19:49:12] wait [19:49:13] what [19:49:21] when did vengeful activate? [19:49:23] mine activates too [19:49:39] I activated mine, by the time I got swinged on you by the flesh titan [19:49:45] When was a bloodied ally hit? [19:50:15] Oh, it's bloodied ally only, right... I forgot that part. Just 7 damage then, not 9. [19:50:17] My bad. [19:50:28] And the flesh titan is prone still. [19:50:53] whoops >_>; [19:51:28] stab it [19:51:29] in the anus [19:52:00] 1d20+8 [19:52:00] Charles rolls 1D20+8: 8 +8 = 16 [19:52:22] 1d20+9 [19:52:23] Charles rolls 1D20+9: 11 +9 = 20 [19:52:30] 1d6+4 [19:52:30] Charles rolls 1D6+4: 2 +4 = 6 [19:52:40] corpse three should go down automatically [19:52:43] Six damage to Paera from the cultist [19:52:53] So does the magister [19:52:59] So corpses stay down now. [19:53:15] 1d6 [19:53:16] Charles rolls 1D6: 5 [19:53:19] Sorry guys I'm out for the night [19:53:22] 1d20+8 [19:53:22] Charles rolls 1D20+8: 4 +8 = 12 [19:53:23] * Paera is now known as Yon [19:53:26] Doesn't Xan go before the magister? [19:53:28] Night Yon [19:53:34] Later Yon. :/ [19:53:36] I'm not going to bed [19:53:37] HOpe things are okay [19:53:41] I just...can't do this right now [19:53:47] You... okay? [19:54:06] Not really, but I'll save it for after the game [19:54:16] * Eilenia nods. :/ [19:54:24] Shit, I hope you feel better. :/ [19:54:28] It got cut off, Rana [19:54:33] " and thrusting his dagger in i" [19:54:39] Good night Yon. [19:54:56] He's not going to sleep [19:55:17] Well, good not-night. Or something like that. [19:56:01] Magister still up eh? [19:56:18] He's actually sort of my target. Hunt's End. [19:56:26] 1d20+11 [19:56:26] Xan rolls 1D20+11: 10 +11 = 21 [19:56:31] Hit [19:56:37] ... well, damn. An aunt just got hospitalized. :( [19:56:44] Hold up, there Eve. [19:56:49] Oh whoops [19:56:49] You were right, he was still up. [19:56:52] 3d10+6 [19:56:52] Xan rolls 3D10+6: 10 4 8 +6 = 28 [19:56:55] damn [19:56:56] 1d8+3 [19:56:56] Xan rolls 1D8+3: 1 +3 = 4 [19:56:56] Well, not like, blood related aunt. Auntie in the Asian sense. [19:57:01] Sorry to hear man [19:57:14] She's pretty old and her husband died last year. :/ [19:57:18] Or two years ago [19:57:24] Take one off the counter, there. [19:57:24] I'll be around but for now I'm going to try and blow off some frustration [19:57:48] Man, I wish I could do more damage. [19:57:51] hmm [19:58:09] Eve coulda still decapitated him, since it's a free action for her to do it. Just didn't realize the quicksilver was already there [19:58:16] Wait, what do those action point things do? [19:58:25] You coulda hit the flesh titan, Rusty [19:58:30] It woulda make more sense, tactically [19:58:44] Since you know that the Magister woulda gone down for free [19:58:51] Orly? [19:59:05] Yeah, I do 1d10 damage to him automatically at the start of his turn [19:59:06] Action points, when spent, let you take another action [19:59:08] which kills him [19:59:11] MInor, move, or even standard. [19:59:17] And an action points gives you an extra standard action, yeah [19:59:26] Well, I'll use an AP anyway [19:59:32] There's another effect too with action point, due to me being a warlord by the way [19:59:40] Ooh. [19:59:41] Is the magister dead now? [19:59:42] What's that? [19:59:49] He will be after your turn [19:59:52] What are you doing with your AP? [20:00:00] Well, I wanted to singular shot the titan [20:00:05] He's alive during your turn, but his turn starts right after yours ends, in which he automatically takes 1d10 damage and dies. [20:00:22] Or you can waste an attack killing him [20:00:24] Once per encounter, someone can after using an AP take an additional free basic attack or move action. If it's a miss, he grants CA to every foe until the end of his next turn though. [20:00:32] Huh, cool [20:00:38] Oh sweet [20:00:38] Bravura ftw [20:00:49] I woulda done that to the Magister if I knew [20:01:04] Well, I'll go ahead and wait on the magister to die, then use an AP to take an action. [20:01:13] You don't need to wait [20:01:15] Just [20:01:22] use your standard action on the flesh titan [20:01:29] ok [20:01:31] And then AP for another attack on the flesh titan [20:01:32] http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3211884&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=10#po st366897304 Hahahaha [20:01:36] Okay [20:01:38] When your turn's over, the magister dies [20:01:42] for free [20:01:47] Or, two other attacks on the flesh titan actually [20:01:51] before doing anything [20:02:01] I AM ANGRY. ANGRY ABOUT ELVES. [20:02:08] hahah [20:02:09] Okay, okay, begin turn again: [20:02:14] Twin strike Flesh titan [20:02:17] 1d20+11 [20:02:18] Xan rolls 1D20+11: 9 +11 = 20 [20:02:19] 1d20+11 [20:02:19] Xan rolls 1D20+11: 7 +11 = 18 [20:02:21] Wuarrying [20:02:26] *quarrying [20:02:31] :/ [20:02:37] :( [20:03:32] It's getting late, reroll that shit [20:04:45] 2x1d20+11 [20:04:45] Xan rolls 2x1D20+11: ( 9 +11 = 20 ) ( 4 +11 = 15 ) = 35 [20:04:53] warbl [20:04:54] ... [20:04:55] What the [20:05:13] Hint: use action point, attack again. [20:05:25] Using AP [20:05:31] Twin Strike [20:05:34] 2x1d20+11 [20:05:34] Xan rolls 2x1D20+11: ( 14 +11 = 25 ) ( 11 +11 = 22 ) = 47 [20:05:57] And free basic attack [20:06:05] From Otto's warlord feature [20:06:08] 1d20+11 [20:06:09] Xan rolls 1D20+11: 11 +11 = 22 [20:06:13] if you miss you grant CA [20:06:16] If you wish to take the risk of granting combat advantage to absolutely no one of course. [20:06:21] haha [20:06:33] Choose wisely. [20:06:35] What're my hits and misses there? [20:07:24] 22s will hit [20:07:29] So all three are good [20:07:34] nice [20:07:49] * Ottonius inflames Xan with FIGHTING SPIRIT ! [20:07:54] 3x1d10+2 1d8+3 [20:07:54] Xan rolls [ 3x1D10+2: ( 5 +2 = 7 ) ( 8 +2 = 10 ) ( 1 +2 = 3 ) = 20 ] [ 1D8+3: 2 +3 = 5 ] = 25 [20:07:55] haha [20:08:11] I think Xan is too calculating for fighting spirit [20:08:29] Don't forget the last one is a basic attack, so add your dex bonus to damage [20:08:42] I already do with my attacks. [20:08:51] EVERYONE can be touched by the fighting spirit ! [20:08:55] Actually [20:08:57] Rangers always use dex for ranged attacks [20:09:04] nope, you're right, Twin strike doesn't. [20:09:10] So add 4 to that [20:09:14] Yes, but twin strike just does [W], not [W]+dex [20:09:22] Nice. [20:09:54] I chuck my handaxe at the flesh titan and then run next to these corpses [20:10:02] NO ONE BOTHER WITH THE CORPSES OR MOVE THEM [20:10:06] THEY ARE NO LONGER A THREAT [20:10:25] 1d20+9 vs titan's AC [20:10:25] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+9: 11 +9 = 20 [20:10:35] Miss [20:11:10] Someone count me down five, please. [20:11:19] So 62. [20:14:56] Dem: DO NOT MOVE ANY CORPSES ADJACENT TO EVE [20:15:51] Movement, minor to sustain, but not doing the attack. [20:15:55] Standard to CoD [20:15:56] 1d20+9 [20:15:57] Eilenia rolls 1D20+9: 8 +9 = 17 [20:15:59] vs Ref [20:16:04] Hits [20:16:11] 1d6+5 [20:16:11] Eilenia rolls 1D6+5: 3 +5 = 8 [20:16:18] 8 force, 3 damage at start of his next turn [20:16:20] The titan, that is [20:17:01] * Charles nods [20:17:19] Hahaha, the Borderlands achievement for fighting an Arena match is "Can't we get BEYOND Thunderdome?" [20:17:28] haha [20:18:26] Geez. Flesh titan's still not bloodied [20:18:35] It was bloodied a long while ago [20:18:40] I just forgot to tag it [20:18:42] Oh. [20:18:42] oh it was? [20:18:45] thank god [20:18:45] When did it get bloodied? [20:18:54] A long while ago [20:19:05] Somewhere between 50 and 130 damage [20:19:25] When the magister siphoned off something like 80 health to raise all the dead minions [20:20:10] aah [20:20:26] aaah [20:20:41] I don't think we realized the flesh titan wasn't a renewable resource [20:21:20] Its damage kept going up whenever the magister used that, and I described it getting less stable, so there you go. [20:22:40] Oh oops, sorry, didn't see it was my turn. [20:22:52] Yeah, I just didn't notice [20:23:46] * Ottonius uses storm walk, shifting one after the attack, channeling it through the dagger to avoid attack of opportunity [20:23:56] 1d20+8 vs. Fort. [20:23:56] Ottonius rolls 1D20+8: 7 +8 = 15 [20:24:09] Reroll that [20:24:17] 1d20+8 [20:24:17] Ottonius rolls 1D20+8: 14 +8 = 22 [20:24:25] Hits [20:24:30] 1d8+9 [20:24:30] Ottonius rolls 1D8+9: 6 +9 = 15 [20:24:37] And, done. [20:24:41] Just enough to kill it [20:24:53] Whoooo [20:25:38] corpse 6 and 9 go caput [20:27:01] Alright, at this point we can wrap it up and have you guys take out the last guy and the two minions [20:27:03] Just emote it [20:27:44] Go for the others. I just talked a walking abomination to death, i think that's enough coolness. [20:29:33] haha [20:30:21] I dunno why, but I see Otto as some kinda -bender. [20:30:26] Like a soundbender or something. :P [20:31:34] Man, my original plan for that fight had the flesh titan smashing its way through the building, to keep the ranged people on the move, and stuff going on as more and more of the place got destroyed [20:31:57] And then Eilenia just fucking funlocked it at its goddamn starting position and I couldn't do anything interesting. >:( [20:33:19] That'd have been fun :o [20:33:37] Eve, he's a fightingspiritbender. [20:33:49] heh [20:35:24] Nyoro~n [20:35:38] I was just picturing his last attack there as, like, an earthbender walking around and slamming his feet down. But instead of moving earth around, he's channeling soundwaves [20:35:47] That was also, like, the design purpose behind the corpse minions. To have, like, this ongoing zombie horde chasing people through the building as they tried to escape from the titan. But nooooooope. :( [20:36:58] Sorry, Eve went all "the line is drawn here" :/ [20:36:58] Heh, immobilock + regular prone attacks + more than one melee character... fightan dynamics changed apparently. [20:37:21] Eve had literally nothing to do with that line, Nova. :| [20:37:27] And, yeah Eve, it's pretty much something around that, according to the storm walk description and effects [20:37:30] She left it to Otto [20:37:56] Like, the titan's throw attacks were pretty much designed to let him clear room for him to avance around melee people [20:38:12] But I didn't take into account an encounter-long effect that could prevent him from doing anything at all [20:38:43] Wasn't it save ends? [20:38:49] It was [20:38:56] But it'd get reapplied before he could save every time [20:38:56] But Dem just kept spamming it, right [20:39:12] Or, rather, he'd save and it'd be reapplied before he could move away [20:39:17] yeah [20:39:32] Yeah that is a tough position. [20:39:37] I DO like the premise though. [20:39:44] Of a guy able to throw around targets [20:39:49] Yeah, it *would* have been a pretty interesting fight [20:40:11] Even the throwing stuff made it not totally boring, because it at least caused people to move once he was funlocked [20:40:16] I'm trying to think if there's a way around stuff like that, to plan for in the future [20:40:19] Yeah [20:40:42] Bonuses to saves? [20:40:49] Being a hobgoblin? [20:40:50] The first thing that comes to mind is a 'this creature focused on movement saves against movement-restricting effects at the start and end of its turn' [20:40:55] I know Pramesh is pretty good [20:40:56] He had a bonus to his saves and never failed one [20:40:56] Only thing I can think of would be like, giving something a quality like "Unstoppable: This creature makes saves against dazed, stunned, immobilized, and restrained conditions at the start of its turn." [20:41:04] But he literally never got a chance to move despite this [20:41:13] Yeah, I think that's about it [20:41:14] Yeah [20:41:15] Bceause of the low Will defense, yeah? [20:41:29] His will defense wasn't his lowest, IIRC [20:41:41] It's just that you literally never rolled less than a 29 against him [20:42:23] I might want to re-run this fight with another group at some point, with that unstoppable ability to see how it works [20:42:58] Don't forget something, like an attack letting him move and stomp melee characters on the way. [20:43:14] I kind of think I can't do it here since I already revealed the trick and having the same setup trice would be sort of boring and dumb, but it's an idea that has merits that haven't been fully expressed [20:43:33] * Ottonius nods in agreement [20:43:54] Yeah, this is a fascinating design discussion [20:44:08] Did you guys at least enjoy the fight? [20:44:13] I did! [20:44:19] I did too ! [20:44:43] I was a little concerned at first that my daily was being wasted, but once I started being vocal about how it can be used tactically for other people, it worked out [20:44:44] I was pretty frustrated throughout because I put a lot of work into it that was totally short-circuited, but I guess if you guys enjoyed it, then I can continue just putting up with my own game. :| [20:44:58] ^_^; [20:45:12] Oh, don't worry, devious tricks will work out eventually [20:45:30] That was a statistical anomaly [20:46:24] At least, we didn't just stood out of the titan's range to hit it from afar [20:46:43] Well, Eve did. :V [20:47:06] Eve stood out of range, but didn't hit him from afar :o [20:47:38] She tried. :P [20:47:43] Chucked her handaxe [20:47:44] Dem: A statistical anamoly doesn't make it any less frustrated to see the work I put in wasted. :( [20:48:38] Understandably so. I mean, I know I'll probably rarely, if ever, use my fearless rescue power. But if I ever has the occasion, it's gonna be awesome. [20:48:46] have* [20:48:49] true. :( [20:49:39] * Ottonius is now known as Ranakel [20:50:08] Well, thanks for session, Charles [20:50:10] * Eilenia is now known as Demota [20:50:15] I guess I could at least recycle the 'running battle through a collapsing structure' idea in the future [20:50:20] Yeah. [20:50:31] And make it something that a controller can't just remove from the fight casually [20:50:36] Yep, thanks, especially with the job and all. [20:50:51] * Charles nods [20:50:54] No problem [20:50:54] Yeah Cha. I know it kinda sucked for you, but it was still fun [20:51:07] And, learning experience! [20:51:13] I had fun [20:51:13] * Ranakel nods [20:51:22] Well, I think I learned something tonight, even if it goes against what I think I learned before [20:51:33] Having a corpse thrown at me was fun. [20:51:34] Oh? [20:51:38] If someone interesting is going to happen, it should be entirely out of your guys' hands [20:51:53] Because, as players, you're going to try to minimize risk [20:51:53] Haha, yeah, I was really worried about that corpse possibly popping back up at any time [20:52:10] I'm going to bash the risk in the face. [20:52:24] I hope Yon's okay [20:52:45] Me too [20:52:49] Yeah [20:52:50] * Xan is now known as LostInTangents [20:52:56] Yep; [20:52:57] Hey new guy, nice job. [20:53:07] Thanks, old guy. [20:53:12] I'm not sure if that's a GOOD lesson to learn, since I think player control is generally a good thing. [20:53:20] But then, I don't know. [20:53:40] Well, I'd advise you to learn the ways of the Xanatos Gambit, Charles. [20:53:52] Well, for me, it was like... if I see a large crowd, then I hurl out the movement thingy. [20:54:01] I'm less likely to use it against a single big target. [20:54:33] This is because to me, I dont' like using area effect things on single targets because if there's a large number of guys, I can get at least one hit, most likely [20:55:15] Reminds me, when landing with my thunder leap, I should have made two attacks actually. [20:55:30] Oh well, forgetfulness happens. [20:55:50] Cha: I think sometimes, when you have a set-piece encounter, it's okay to fudge things a bit so you actually get to a dynamic fight. [20:55:58] * Charles nods [20:56:04] * Eve_Kasnora is now known as NovaSeaker [20:56:05] * ChanServ sets mode: +o NovaSeaker [20:56:19] Yeah, I could have just given the titan an arbitrarily high defense against that attack the first time [20:56:20] Holding the zombies back and allowing the huge guy to go free, I would have accepted that and still been happy [20:56:25] I'm trying to think of a time where I fudged things in the enemy's favor just to make a fight more interesting... [20:56:45] As long as I'm borrowing encounter ideas from WoW, diminishing returns might not be a bad idea to take in a fight like that [20:57:09] Diminishing returns/ [20:57:20] Oh yeah, against my real-life players. They were in Sharn in the reidran embassy, going in spec-ops style and trying to destroy some sort of control crystal [20:57:39] Basically, against opposing players and some bosses, the more you use control spells, the less long they last [20:57:48] Ah [20:57:49] Until eventually, the boss becomes immune for a few seconds [20:58:00] Is it an obvious mechanic? [20:58:14] I had a few guards and whatnot, but then there was a soulknife-inspired badguy. I gave him a teleport power out of the blue just to make more use out of the twisting interior of the tower, just so the PCs would move around. [20:58:23] It's mostly a PVP mechanic, so I'm not sure. [20:58:49] I think it's not clear in WoW because WoW obfuscates a lot of its high-end mechanics [20:59:14] Like, you don't need to worry about diminishing returns unless you're in an arena team or you're raiding a few very specific places [20:59:19] Also, sometimes I just "let" a monster recharge a power if it's not one of their "this is on recharge cause it does more damage than a normal attack" powers. [20:59:21] Ah [20:59:37] Oh, Draconomicon 2 has an interesting precedent [20:59:42] oh? [20:59:47] Orium Dragons have a breath weapon that creates a minion [20:59:53] oh cool [20:59:53] And it recharges when the minion is killed [21:00:11] Oh yeah, situational recharges are cool [21:00:11] Oh, weird [21:00:12] Interesting. [21:00:18] I think I've seen a few before [21:00:24] Maybe one, in MM2 [21:03:33] young-rose is just so addorable :3 [21:03:48] And I'm back. Sorry about that guys. [21:04:03] No problem [21:04:13] And welcome back. [21:04:27] No problem, Yon [21:04:27] oh hey homestuck [21:04:28] hey [21:05:27] I wonder what's going on with the cat. :( [21:06:26] hey Charles [21:06:31] The song is haunting. [21:06:40] Do you want me to start saving the gametable maps? [21:06:42] yeah. :/ [21:06:54] Ranakel: You read Homestuck too? [21:06:57] Oh, Ran, you read MSPA? :D [21:07:10] I save maps, but it can't hurt for there to be other backups End of #Exalted buffer Mon Nov 30 22:21:40 2009
