2.8 Guard Chamber

[Ogremind]

I really need to have that map updated if I'm going to do Zack's action. And candi is right: Harknail the character is serving as something of a roadblock at the moment, so you probably should have taken his action right after the monsters.

[luke]

Sanem swiftly moves forward to K18, while Persephone shifts to the square above her enemy (D13, above the kobold).

Sanem considers the 103 different ways there is to kill a kobold with a bow and/or an arrow, and sticks with "With lots of arrows"

I have a sinking feeling Zack wants to move where Harknail is as well...

Nope, Zack is fine where he is: he has cover from pretty much everything, and can blast almost anything with scorching burst. But, having the defender out there will be important to just about everyone, and it would be nice if he marked that closest kobold so that people don't have to worry so much about opportunity attacks as they go past. I just want to see how the enemies clumped up, because, like every GM I have ever seen, harknail started the enemies too far away from each other to be hit effectively with area attacks.

Map isn't updated, it's not showing any kobold movement, Zynthis or Sart. Also (#1) should have taken damage from Laira's armor of agathys. Zynthis use a healing word on yourself, my healing isn't so hot - I'm better at preventative healing (THP) and you're pretty hurt - not to mention that I can't even see you at this point anyway.

I remembered that I hadn't updated the map when I got up this morning. It should be updated now. I forgot about the armor of agathys damage, rolled it now. #1 took 4 damage from armor of agathys.

"Sart!" Zack will shout to get the goblin's attention as he uses Mage hand to retrieve the rope from his pack and move one end of it to her. On minor action, or two?. Then he will send a scorching burst to explode at d10:

I've been meaning to ask this: does jumping movement provoke opportunity attacks?

Yes, jumping movement is still movement.

One kobold (#1) reeled under the mental onslaught, but the other (#2) having just endured such an attack was able to just barely resist it.

It was so close I had to check if the -1 defense from the previous turn still applied. Since Orsik went towards the end of last turn and first this turn, the -1 to def still applies to everyone else . The general rule is if someone gives you a bonus that would last a turn in strict inititive sequence, you get to use that bonus for one turn regardless of the order players post in.

Sanem is successful at moving up quietly although the closer kobolds saw him as Sanem emerged from cover. The more distant ones didn't notice him until after he started launching arrows. His target kobold ducked the first arrow, which set him up for a chest shot from the second arrow, leaving the beleaguered kobold bloodied.

Well the monsters know that things like Wizards exist, so they try to keep their distance from each other when just sitting around. Give them a nice juicy target however, and they'll usually swarm around it. Sometimes I'll give you tight groups, if you catch them unaware and doing group activities...

The two kobolds are engulfed in magical flame. The control lever is heated to red hot temperatures. The end of the rope floats near Sart (two minor actions, one per end), but she's too busy gasping for breath (second wind) as she's swept along to grab hold of it.

Start gains 8 HP from second wind, then loses 2 from being bumped into rocks. Otherwise she would have been knocked out trying to pull herself out.

Generally inanimate objects aren't affected by your attacks unless you want them to be. Does Zack want to destroy the lever?

Everyone knows dwarves can't jump, so the kobold's eyes were wide with terror when a heavily armored dwarf flew though the air right at him. When the dwarf stopped, the hammer continued forward, smashing the kobolds chest to a pulp between his hammer and the stone wall behind the kobold (#5 dead). Continuing with his momentum he brought his hammer back in a backswing that cracked some ribs of the next kobold (#6) leaving the creature bloodied and with it's full attention on Thursagan!

Thursagan already as a power bonus of +2 AC, so his shielded side only helps reflex, which is what the range attacks targeted, so it's still a good move.

[harknail]

Harknail moved foward and between the two kobolds, giving the corner guard yet another chance to strike. but the pike just slid along the warforged's plate armor skin. He launched a piercing smite at the corner guard (#1).
