Title: Who Dropped a House on My Gnome
Post by: Asinjin on February 27, 2015, 12:12:13 AM
Experience if you survive the existing stand off.

What Tuco sees as he flees is a sniper picking off his companions and forcing them into hiding while Harris and Gnevil battle the house.  Gnevil gets crushed and doesn't look like he's moving.  The house collapses a short time later.  Sly and Harrick disappear.  Marston and Harris are not moving from where you are.

What does everyone do?

Sly and Harrick, who are invisible, do not get shot at when not in cover, leading them to believe they can't be seen by the sniper.

You two see and report to the others that the shadow is moving clockwise slowly.  It doesn't appear to be getting closer.

Harrick squints at the brutal sun.. sweat running down his chins....  However you can't see this..
 He says.. " I think we have to Dispel that darkness, or something else.  I think it's some sort of magic item, or something else.  He's going to have an angle on us soon." wheeze " Would have been nice to have 4 undead horses to get us out of here.. but NOOOOOO" wheeze " Nevel is probably dead, Tall and Angry is now useless.. I mean who saw that coming.. Looks like it's up to us ".

Your not sure who he was talking to .. since you can't see him.

You hear him drink something. (cure serious pot)

Hearing Harrick slurp something down, Harris drinks one of his own. (Cure serious)

Can I drag Nevel's body over with my hammer?

Are you still enlarged?  if so, yes.

I do. I check to see if he can be stabilized and if not I check him for any potions.

The attack crushed his chest, he is dead.  I will wait for Hero to answer whether he has any potions.

You can pop and and shoot into the shadow that you think is the sniper.

You pop up and the rifle fires (thankfully), you are pretty sure you hit the area you were aiming for.  No sort of confirmation that you hit anything inside.

I keep reloading and firing into the globe of darkness for as long as I can or until something changes.

Harrick mumbles something about getting your eye shot out if you keep doing that.. you hear him breathing heavily, he might be making an obscene gesture. v

For three rounds, you hit the darkness.  You never here it hit anything stone or metallic (but that could mean flesh, dirt, or other).  No screams or return fire.

After your forth shot, you realize that the darkness, which has been slowly moving clockwise will clear your cover next turn.

Whose cover? everyone.

Just Marston.  Two of you are invisible and Harris is behind the fallen house.  Marston has been behind the trough that he scrambled to after he got shot.

Harrick uses his wand of darkness to put a globe around Marstan.  ( if he freaks out and things the vampire did it, i don't stop him for thinking that right away.. but I do eventually ) 


As an after though.. I wonder if Vampires can see in magical darkness.. I make a check.

They cannot typically see through magical darkness.

Harrick does this, he places 5 static globes of darkness around the enemy globe.  I put a skeletal cat in each globe, with instructions to explode if anyone skinnier then me comes in.   He then finds a spot to hide behind that "IS NOT" inside one of his new Friend globes. So.. he is not hiding within a globe of darkness.  I then try to Dispel that blood sucker.  Actually.. I try to dispel the area to cancel his globe.

How do the cats get to the globes around the enemy globe?

It's painful, I know. But I walk them.

The enemy globe is moving, so you wouldn't be able to surround it with multiple globes.

I'm not looking to be close to it.. like 30 ft away from it is sufficient.  I'm looking to just be in range.  If it's moving to fast I forget about the cats.  But I set the bat to fly into one right before I cast.

Okay, what is the range on your spell (how far away can you be and cast it?)

Just Dispel Magic.. I can get 160ft away.

You start making your way over there, at your speed and up the hill, you get within range just before the darkness is about to get to a clear shot.

What is your modifier to the dispel roll?

Marston, what do you do as the darkness is about to get a clear shot?

I provide cover fire for Harrick as he approaches the globe.  I will fire one of my pistols in order to get more than one shot off. 

Please note that I do not put my rifle back in the bandolier of holding.  I leave it on the ground.  I don' t want that thing exploding inside the bandolier and destroying everything else I have.

Harrick is invisible, so it is a bit difficult, but he gives you an idea of when he goes, so you are able to give him cover as he approaches.

Harrick is a 6th level arcane caster.

Are you targeting the darkness or the arena its in?

Shots ring out from rifle and then pistol as Marston fires at the darkness, giving cover (he hopes) to Harrick.  One shot rings out in response, but smashes the trough and not Marston.

A minute after the house fell, Harrick casts his spell and the area of darkness in the distance fades in a wink.  Revealed is a pale gnome glistening with metal.  It is difficult in that instant to tell what is what on him.  The creature whistles like a steam engine starting.  You clearly see a rifle in one hand.  Smoke pours off of it, as the sun burns it.

Marston pops up to take a shot and clips the creature.  Immediately after getting clipped, the area around the creature begins to fill with smoke pouting off of its body.  An area ten feet across is quickly covering in the smoke.

If any of the others want to act, go ahead

As the smoke begins to billow out from the creature, you all hear another shot, from within the smoke, you hear another hiss an the creature gets hit again.

A quick look back shows that Tocu is up on the opposite hill, covered behind a boulder with a rifle.

Sly, anything?
Title: Re: Who Dropped a House on My Gnome

Using the house remains as cover, how much open ground is there from the last point of cover to the smoke?  Approximately how big an area (sphere?) is the smoke?
Title: Re: Who Dropped a House on My Gnome
Post by: Asinjin on March 05, 2015, 10:15:53 PM
Still over 100 yards.  The creature and darkness were moving clockwise and not getting much closer.  Harrick spent a few rounds invisible and hustling to get near enough to cast.

The new smoke area is about ten feet in diameter after a round.

Nods.. Harrick nods to himself.  Mumbling something about not being able to see through the smoke either..   I see my three skeletal 6 legged cats into the smoke to hug him.  Pulling their pins when they get there.

The cats move into the smoke, and shortly after there is an explosion from the smoke which is quickly followed by another, larger explosion which blindsides everyone.

We will pick up there tomorrow.

If you were close to a level, I will give out xp to the survivors, so have your level ready.
