Okay, we need teh dices now, and you're close enough to each other.

The hound in sight stops and howls several times (like I already said). Then dashes forward.

@Tarquin: You see a panicked figure through the trees; you missed him before because of the thick cover and distance but now he's moving too much to not see.

@Saxire: You see this

Let's roll initiative
Saxire: [dice=20]
Tarquin: [dice=20]

and two for me
[dice=20]
[dice=20]

okay, it's 20' away from you at the edge of the clearing. The funny gnome gets the first action.

I understand that you don't know exactly what you can do in a D&D combat round yet. If you like, just describe what you want to do (shoot it, run away, climb a tree w/e) and I'll handle it.[rand=6314922962123476648810974418851363197347305960961871941651768263]

Saxire holds his action. He may act later this round if he chooses.

Guess who's next ^^p

"They're fiendish hounds! Try to do something"

gunshot
[dice=20]
[dice=6][dice=6]

I win ^___^ and I didn't even have to use GM hax XD

The hound takes a shot through the ribs; it falls over bleeding and unconscious.

It's now Tarquin's turn (Confused? You should be XD)[rand=618179784768400358156468113585090500133288189337213095964012200723]

I am totally...what can I do now o.O?

Saxire · Post by **Saxire** » April 17th, 2008, 9:55 am

O.O well ima choose action after tarq ^^

ummmmmm okies. I'll try to summarize combat. I probably should have done this earlier >.< Stupid me... anyway--

edit: I moved it here!

oh hey... I just realized I killed the only enemy in sight XD

I'm lazy, let's keep this initiative cuz more will be here in a few rounds. Go ahead and take 2 rounds of actions. Btw, a round represents 6 seconds of game time, so you have time for a short conversation (at least me and saxire do XD, tarq is 100' away)

Can I just stand back and watch =p? I really do not want to get involved in this mess unless I have to

Jaegar · Post by **Jaegar** » April 17th, 2008, 2:30 pm

lol... you remember how some of the howling was behind you? You stand there a sec, then hear something running behind you. Still over 200' away, you see two more hounds.

Lol tard's been editing my posts xD
But there are more enemies right? can i like .. hypnotize one and get info using my bad singin skills?XD
or do i need more lvls for that? and i thought falco was joining?

Jaegar · Post by **Jaegar** » April 18th, 2008, 1:49 am

mmmhmmm...

There are more of them, but you can't see any of them yet. You're not high enough level to use that bard skill and don't have any spells that do that. Also, even fiendish hounds can't talk. All you can do atm I guess is talk/move to a better place (not one really). Oh yeah, you might want to draw a weapon just so you don't have to do it later.

I haven't heard any more from falco at all O.o

Tarquin · Post by **Tarquin** » April 18th, 2008, 7:13 am

If there is something behind me too, I guess Ill....FREEZE

Jaegar · Post by **Jaegar** » April 18th, 2008, 12:33 pm

O.o crap you're good at being lazy. I gotta think for a sec to figure out what they do.

Ah, good points evil me. I guess neither of you is doing anything for the moment (you've both posted repeatedly). Sorry if it seems like I'm stopping to wait for you too often. I'm trying not to force you into certain actions (aka "railroad" the players).

Fortunately for my amusement (and your eventual involvement in this mess), these are evil hounds in the middle of a hunt.

You look around and see a couple more hounds moving toward the clearing, but they're off to your side. The two that are moving straight toward you slow down and start circling you from 20' away. They're getting into a position to flank you.

Code: Select all

.........
...x.....
.Oxx...O.
.......x.
....T..O.
..O......
..xx...O.
.E......x
..xOE..O.

45'x45'
O = space containing a tree (you can still move there, it slows movement a bit but gives cover)
x = space filled by shrubs of some kind (slows movement and gives penalties, these suck)

I'd like to point out that the hounds are within 15' of each other (consider this your tutorial XD)

edit: waaaait a sec... I haven't seen your finished character XD. Do you have color spray? meh, oh well. Not a terrible situation even if you don't.

@saxire You see this, and 3 more hounds coming toward you from various directions.

Saxire · Post by **Saxire** » April 18th, 2008, 2:57 pm

O.o can i be a bum and run behind tard for cover

Jaegar · Post by **Jaegar** » April 18th, 2008, 3:54 pm

he's 100' away... If you really wanna I guess you could XD The hounds would probably reach you about the time you reached him. These things really aren't very strong. If you roll like I did with a pistol shot you'd get the same results (1 hit kill). Like I said, this is your tutorial.

hmmm... for the sake of keeping the game moving, let's do that. Turn order was...

hounds -> move. Two of them reach tarq, the rest are a bit away
Saxire -> run toward tarq, you can get within 30' in a single turn of flat out running
Me -> *facepalm* >.< Ima jump down and follow you. I end up 15' behind you.

it's now tarq's turn, with the situation I described above.

Saxire · Post by **Saxire** » April 18th, 2008, 11:27 pm

You should have told me they werent strong .. qq
I thought i was still lvl 1 noobs so they might get me if i didnt throw out my strongest attack
