You have just entered room "chat26672142653190609992." Firamx has entered the room. Orms by Gore4 has entered the room. Break Miyama has entered the room. Break Miyama: And now we wait for Flamuck... RPGDreamr: indeed. SpikeNuhvok has entered the room. RPGDreamr: Well, it appears everyone active is here. RPGDreamr: I sent an invite to Master if he ever decides to join. Orms by Gore4: and i was having such fun playing geometry wars RPGDreamr: Awe Firamx has left the room. RPGDreamr: ... Firamx has entered the room. Break Miyama: Yay! RPGDreamr: Ok, one tick, Firamx: Sorry, clicked the wrong damn button Break Miyama: Now for Ice to spontaneously show up... Firamx: who we waiting for? RPGDreamr: At the moment, you're waiting for me to finish what I'm doing. Firamx: ok Break Miyama: Pin? >_> Break Miyama: *pink Firamx: So what, i like the color? RPGDreamr: You're one to talk, Break. Break Miyama: I simply would not have guessed. SpikeNuhvok: is your hair that color again? Break Miyama: I'm not saying "ZOMG CHANGE IT" Orms by Gore4: wanna call him girly break? Break Miyama: Not at all. Orms by Gore4: he of the female avatar? SpikeNuhvok: hey, pink is pimp Break Miyama: Fair enough. Firamx: nope Firamx: it's normal now SpikeNuhvok: ok Firamx: I did it purple earlier this year, but It faded really quick RPGDreamr: Ugh, ok, the rest of my stuff can now officially wait. RPGDreamr: Ok, so, you're all here to combat evil menaces. Orms by Gore4: sweet Break Miyama: .....or so we think. RPGDreamr: Firstly, I am contractually obligated to ask if you all know how combat in D&D works. RPGDreamr: So, do you all know how combat in D&D works? Break Miyama: I certainly hope I do. Break Miyama: I know how actions work, how far I can move, etc. Firamx: Move within movement space Firamx: only 2 actions a turn Firamx: Correct me if I'm wrong Break Miyama: Not really. Break Miyama: You may take two move actions, or one move and one standard.... Firamx: hence, 2 actions Break Miyama: Or one full-round, or add a swift or free action to any of the previous options. Firamx: huh? RPGDreamr: Ugh, ok, I need to stop plowing through old files and focus. Break Miyama: A swift or free action doesn't count as a move or standard action - hence, you can take one as part of those actions. Firamx: oh RPGDreamr: Ok, so this is how this is going to work: Firamx: like having quick draw? RPGDreamr: We'll have unordered action leading directly to the conflict. At that point, we will all roll for initiative and settle in an order. Then, we will progress with the order until the battle is done. RPGDreamr: All rolls will be maintained to their fullest. All general combat rules will be enforced - except for one; Break Miyama: And that is? RPGDreamr: As we are not using a map or clearly defined distances, range and proximity will be determined by me to within reasonable limits. If distance ever does become a pressing issue that must be tracked, we will deal with it at that time. Orms by Gore4: needs to go get mah dice Firamx: uh, is a dice program ok? Break Miyama: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/dice/dice.htm - there's your dice. Break Miyama: I see nothing wrong with that, Firamax. RPGDreamr: Now, this will be styled as much as possible, meaning that I would strongly encourage players to cap actions with "adequate" description of combat, reflecting the situation and the outcomes as dealt by dice. Break Miyama: May I make a request, so as to be more able to do that? RPGDreamr: I will be allowing all players to throw their combat rolls and saves. If, for any reason, I suspect any falsification, many point swords will fall and take out said offending player in multiple felled swoops. RPGDreamr: Lastly, Break Miyama: I simply wish to know how close I am to hitting a creature (or vice versa) after rolling, so I can describe the combat more effectively. RPGDreamr: I will be posting up all combat oriented posts during the campaign unless otherwise noted. RPGDreamr: Maybe my statement was vague. RPGDreamr: You'll know if you're close or far, or about how close you are, you just won't have a literal quantitative number associated with that distance. Firamx: oh, ok RPGDreamr: You will still be required to use walk / run at the distances perscribed per action, it is just that we won't be ticking away every foot to keep track of exact specific location. Break Miyama: Fair enough. SpikeNuhvok: Before we start... can we see any people or bodies that we can term "victims" or do we only see the goblins? RPGDreamr: Any questions relating distance can be asked at any time. I will provide all necessary requested informaiton. RPGDreamr: We will deal with spot checks and further investigation of the site when we start. SpikeNuhvok: Okay. RPGDreamr: Any other questions? Break Miyama: Regarding how this will be carried out? None from me - I'm ready to begin. RPGDreamr: Going once... Firamx: So, I just say i charge towards battle? Firamx: that good enough fo moving towards the fight? SpikeNuhvok: Ready, sah! *salute* Break Miyama: Try to be more descriptive than that. RPGDreamr: All action before the battle will be taken unmetered and as if RP'd. So, yes, if that is what you were to do, that is what you would do. Yet, further description is appreciated. RPGDreamr: During the battle, that would not suffice, as it is too vague. Firamx: Further description, I can do RPGDreamr: Going twice... RPGDreamr: Orms you still here? Orms by Gore4: yeah Orms by Gore4: hold on Orms by Gore4: i'm here RPGDreamr: Holding on... Firamx: Uh, crap Break Miyama: Hm? Firamx: how do I figure in racial bonuses Break Miyama: For...? Firamx: I have +1 against goblinoids for attack rolls SpikeNuhvok: So add one to your attack rolls if you attack them. SpikeNuhvok: The dice site allows you to do that. SpikeNuhvok: Under "modifier" SpikeNuhvok: (in addition to your normal bonuses, of course) Firamx: so I would roll my d8 and put plus 4 into my modifier? SpikeNuhvok: Sounds about right. RPGDreamr: Your d8? RPGDreamr: Are you talking about damage dice, or attack dice? Break Miyama: Attack rolls are made with a d20. SpikeNuhvok: wait... d20. Firamx: my weapon stat says "1d8, 1d10" SpikeNuhvok: but that's just for damage SpikeNuhvok: attack roll is to hit Break Miyama: Your weapon is Medium - it does 1d10 damage, base. Firamx: oh, oops SpikeNuhvok: which is d20 Firamx: and if i somehow roll a 1, I dropp my weapon, correct? Orms by Gore4: only if you confirm dropping it RPGDreamr: In this campaign, Critical Failure will fumble your weapon. A confirmed critical failure will cause your weapon to break. Orms by Gore4: i believe you have to roll above a 12 or something to not drop it Firamx: So, anything above a 8 with the modifiers, or a 12 without the modifiers Firamx: ? RPGDreamr: Assuming your modifiers are correct, yes. RPGDreamr: Going twice and a half... RPGDreamr: Well, assuming that is it, then let us begin. RPGDreamr: I hope you all know where you're at, right? Break Miyama: 200 feet away from the goblins and wagon. SpikeNuhvok: I'm at the front near Eldebreth. Firamx: We just saw the gobs raiding a turned over cart Firamx: and am in the middle RPGDreamr: To be most accurate, you're about 340ft. Break Miyama: I'm behind Eldebreth and Jagi. SpikeNuhvok: It could be their cart.... SpikeNuhvok: they could be salvaging it. RPGDreamr: Close enough to see, far enough for them to definitely not notice you. SpikeNuhvok: ok Firamx: Spot check anybody? Break Miyama: Spot check to discern more details besides what's already given, I suppose. SpikeNuhvok: I want to see if there are any people or bodies nearby. Spot Check please... RPGDreamr: Then let us begin: RPGDreamr: Break, Flams, Fira, roll your spots tonight. Break Miyama: Er, now? RPGDreamr: ...Yes...assuming that you're actually doing the spot checks you jsut said you were doing Break Miyama: Okay. SpikeNuhvok: ....I rolled a 3... T_T Break Miyama: 9. Firamx: 16 RPGDreamr: For future reference, please give rols with [Dice Roll] + [Modifier] Orms by Gore4: wow Orms by Gore4: 22 Break Miyama: 7 + 2 RPGDreamr: So, like 4 + 5. Orms by Gore4: rolled a 20 Firamx: 16+0 SpikeNuhvok: 3+0? Break Miyama: You have no Wisdom mods? Firamx: oops SpikeNuhvok: Ah, Wisdom! Firamx: 17= 16+1 SpikeNuhvok: Nope, no Wisdom mod. Orms by Gore4: wisdom>? Orms by Gore4: wisdom adds to initiative? Orms by Gore4: since when? RPGDreamr: This isn't initiative. RPGDreamr: Spot checks. Orms by Gore4: wait... what SpikeNuhvok: It's spot check. Firamx: spot check Orms by Gore4: oh Orms by Gore4: well Orms by Gore4: well then i have a 26 Orms by Gore4: whoops Firamx: He saw everything Break Miyama: Shouren narrowed his eyes, attempting to see more of the situation ahead. SpikeNuhvok: Jagi squinted. "Well, I can't see much. 'ow many of 'em are there? An' are they th' current owners o' th' wreck, or are there other people there?" Break Miyama: The wagon wreck was simply too far away for the swordsage to see much more, though - the smoke from the explosion masked many of the details. SpikeNuhvok: "...can anyone see from this distance?" Break Miyama: "Keep your voice down," Shouren interrupted. RPGDreamr: ((All spot checks have now been sent.)) Firamx: Grobinski peered at the cart and the Goblins. "Lads, those gobs have leather armor and morning stars. And I think I see a person on the ground out there" Grobinski said Orms by Gore4: "I can see the quite well." Whispered Lanwyn RPGDreamr: Eldebreth simply stared at the scene, thinking intently. Break Miyama: Shouren turned to Lanwyn, waiting for a response. SpikeNuhvok: "Why?" asked Jagi. "They're just gobbo's... No need t' speak softly." Firamx: "Lads, we can't just sit here and do nothing. There seems to be a person who might need a bit of rescuin' to be done" Grobinski said looking back at the cart RPGDreamr: ((And thus we all wait with baited breath for Ormsie.)) Orms by Gore4: "No, I believe any non goblin on that cart has been dead for at least an hour." Orms by Gore4: "There are 8 of them in all. One is on the cart, the rest are off. They are armed with morning stars that looks rather worn. Orms by Gore4: The cart is too nice to actually belong to the goblins, and there are two bodies in the back of the cart, belonging to a man and a woman. Orms by Gore4: One of the goblins has a banana shaped scar." Lanwyn described quickly Orms by Gore4: ((stupid text limit)) Break Miyama: Shouren, unfazed by Lanwyn's analysis, nodded in response. "Then let's proceed with caution," Shouren whispered. SpikeNuhvok: "Well, it's a bit too late t' 'elp out th' dead people, so why don' we loot th' cart?" Jagi suggested. Break Miyama: "Why are we ruling out the option of talking to the goblins?" Shouren asked quietly. RPGDreamr: ((Because many with an INT less than 12 don't know Common?)) SpikeNuhvok: "Well, with Grobinski here rarin' t' fight, tha' might no' be a viable option," Jagi opined. Firamx: "Because they're goblins, and they are never to be trusted" Grobinski growled SpikeNuhvok: "I rest m' case." Firamx: "Can't we just kill them and be done with it?" Queried Grobinski reaching for his Axe Orms by Gore4: "Besides, we can always loot the cart after the goblins are put down." SpikeNuhvok: Jagi gave Shouren a smug look. Break Miyama: Shouren sighed, and cursed to himself in Draconic. SpikeNuhvok: "Sounds like a plan," stated Jagi as he drew his short sword. Break Miyama: Shouren took a step back to gain some room. Firamx: Grobinski drew his Axe and readied himself for the coming battle. "I take it that means 'yes, do kill them'?" Orms by Gore4: "It's a good plan. It involves looting and goblin slaying." said Lanwyn smugly as he flourished his twin kukris. "And yes, do kill them." SpikeNuhvok: "...and then fun with fire," Jagi said with just a hint of glee. Break Miyama: The swordsage slowly pulled the katana out of its sheath, and gave the blade a quick twirl before readying it in his right hand. Firamx: ((brb, damn parent)) SpikeNuhvok: Jagi began to run towards the goblins. RPGDreamr: ((Jagi has now entered combat scenario. Please refrain from further posting until others have posted)) Break Miyama: Focusing inward for a moment, Shouren thought about the darkness around him. Break Miyama: After reaching a moment of clarity, the swordsage ran forward, following Jagi. As he advanced, Shouren's form blurred, and wisps of darkness danced at his feet, rising ever higher as he continued. Break Miyama: ((Child of Shadow stance.)) Orms by Gore4: Lanwyn smiled to himself and began to run forward, keeping on the balls of his feet. Firamx: Grobinski lifted up his Axe, and let out a mighty yell as he ran towards the goblins. RPGDreamr: Jagi was half way to the goblins before the dwarf gave his cry. Regardless, he had already been noticed. A goblin in the rear announced the oncoming party's position to the others. Most dropped what they were doing and prepared RPGDreamr: for the newcomers. RPGDreamr: (SURPRISE LOST) RPGDreamr: COMBAT INITIATED: Roll for initiative.
