"Bad cat. No! Bad!"

 

[Steerpike]

I would put the agreement off until tomorrow, but the client is actually still up and waiting for it for some reason Back to it!

 

[Nihal]

Steer, Mauve couldn't finish her charge because she was too far, now she can't charge because she's too close. Wait, what?

If this is the case every time this happen, please, consider she patiently stopped at the right distance to charge the previous round then charged.

 

[Steerpike]

A charge is a single round action, and in that single round you have to move your full speed. Since she couldn't do the charge last round, I just moved her as far as she could possibly go that round. If I had known you still wanted to charge, I would have left her up by Baldhart so she could charge this round. In this case, the outcome would have been the same (unconscious harpy). If something like this comes up again, I'll PM you so you can make the choice. When I decided to move her as far as possible in the previous round it took away her ability to charge But you can't split the movement between rounds. There has to be enough movement in the single round to let her move far enough to charge and attack. Does that make sense?

 

[Nihal]

Yes, I understand and wish to be given this choice the next time. In this case, because the next action was pushed to another round it happened in a really odd way, breaking a continuous action. "Hey, I'm charging. Damn, my 6 seconds passed, I can't keep charging, I'll stop in front of my enemy then. Oh, new 6 seconds, now I can attack." xD

P.s.: Which is the squares-to-feet ratio now? 5? I forgot.

 

[Steerpike]

Yeah, a square is five feet.

You make good points, and this is probably a good place for a house rule. It doesn't make sense to have people starting and stopping their movements in combat so they can be at the right distance for a charge the next round. It's a bit too meta-gamey and artificial. The only reason for the move requirement is the idea that you have room to build up enough speed to make a charge possible. A good house rule might say that if a character is already running, then they can continue that movement to make a charge, so long as they have covered the minimum straight-line distance needed to do the charge.

 

[Ireth]

Rydh is misplaced on the new map. According to his last move, he should be close to Baldhart.

 

[Steerpike]

Thanks, Ireth. The perils of posting before coffee!

I edited the description post. Assume Rydh is in the square directly below the harpy.

 

[SeverinR]

Oh, I see. Have the person rolling lucky post your attack for you. Very smart.
Baldhart via Mauve.

 

[Keitsumah]

I set Batos heading towards Keit, but I think he will need another turn or two before he makes it to the elf. It would be pretty funny to see Cadell's face if he spotted her right in the danger zone under the harpy's nest, and baddly wounded besides.

(Keit can be a big risk-taker but she's not stupid)

 

[Sparkie]

Oh, I see. Have the person rolling lucky post your attack for you. Very smart.
Baldhart via Mauve.

I think LS can still use Rolz at work. He just can't post.

 

[SeverinR]

Last 4 rolz under 10, 3 out of 4 under 8.

I figured that out after I posted. (I saw the label of Baldhart in the post.)
lol

 

[Sparkie]

FYI: Rydh is out of Mana.

Due to the amount of party members hurt in the last fight, and the fact that the only healing available is by way of Goodberries, I suggest we all take some time to lick our wounds.

A good house rule might say that if a character is already running, then they can continue that movement to make a charge, so long as they have covered the minimum straight-line distance needed to do the charge.

That's the way I'd look at it, yep. As long as the movement wasn't interrupted from one round to the next, it should remain a charge.

 

[Nihal]

Baldhart via Mauve.

LS rolled, he can't see the forum, only use private messages, so I quote our posts and send them by PM to him, posting Baldhart's actions he sends back.

If in doubt of who rolled, just check our rolz room. It identifies the player by it's provider, mine is always @virtua.com.br. =P

 

[Ireth]

*catches up on posts*

*gives Baldy all the hugs*

 

[Keitsumah]

I still think that to avoid further injury it would be easier to just seal the place up with stone. Just cave in the roofs of the tunnel leading to the cavern.

 

[Nihal]

Just saying... Mauve never told to spare the babies, she hadn't an "outburst", and she's not even in this room anymore.

P.s.: Ireth, she's near Baldhart, so she isn't alone. Come in! xD

 

[Ireth]

Yeah, I noticed that after I posted. XD Not sure if you ninja'd me or if I was just unobservant. XD

 

[Nihal]

Five minutes... possibly a ninja. I'm really good at ninja'ing! >D

Oh, by the way I forgot to congratulate Sparkie for his awesome healing of 1 HP!
