Sir Barkley (Takes Commands from Matthias)

Note: Cannot take free hits. Does not count as targeting an enemy.

 

NOTE: Anyone who is ENTANGLED will not count in regards to party members: they cannot absorb free hits, they do not count towards numbers in regards to mobs' free hits, they do not protect Throlar from free hits if he is the last one left.  They are effective removed from the battle.

OoC:  Both Johnny and Barkley don't count as combatants in the traditional sense, since they don't have health and can't take damage.  They should not be treated as if they will absorb hits or like they can "target opponents" (though Barkley can).  Mechanically, they are essentially items that you can use without spending an action.  

I figured that, since you specified something similar for the "tied up" party members, you must have just forgotten to do so for Everyman and Barkley. But Barkley also can't "target enemies" according to your post above.

Also, Cedric should still be carrying the Doomsday Bomb, which may become important later....

Wow the new formatting engine sucks

[Comrade Commander]

As the team rebounds from the surprise attack, Darksten looks for his opportunity to retaliate. Following the guide of his party leader, he takes aim at the drunkard who hadn't learned his mistake the first time.

 Pointing to the second mob of slavers first however, he asks Captain Lane:

"If you could hold off that second group of slavers for a bit, it would be appreciated. When we get a moment to breath, I can maybe pass you one of my lighting bombs which might be more effective here"

 

Darksten and Capt Lane follow the Team Leader's plan

 

OOC: Once we get some people untied, if I give the Capt a lightning bomb, he should be able to do double his damage against these aquatic enemies correct? Just a strategy to keep in mind.

Yeah, good thinking. I'm kinda hoping we get lucky with some of Matthias' rolls and it doesn't come to that.

OoC:  Yeah, didn't feel I needed to specify just because of the fact that they didn't have health sort of made it clear they weren't "combatants" - but should never leave things ambiguous, so that was on me.  And yes he doesn't count as targeting enemies, just like a bomb doesn't stop free hits.  He can still "be directed" at enemies, it just doesn't prevent them from getting a free hit if he's the only one, since (as Sandy oft points out) there is no way for them to trigger specials or damages, so they get a free hit.  Also, Cedric gave back all the equipment at the end of the last encounter...

Hmm, I was reading his post as strictly 'equipment', not counting consumables... That changes our backup plan significantly.

formatting angers me

[Zepher]

OoC:  I actually read it in the reverse, and assumed he meant only consumables but not equipment, which is why I was surprised when you claimed that Throlar had his Mopagsaber, but I decided to let it be read that way if it helped you all.  As always, I will trust wiz to be honest and will go with whatever he clarifies, assuming that he is clarifying what he meant, not what works best for him now.

??? Why? She won't be any help and we'll have to take a free hit this round....

[Duvors]

OOC: Because I have absolutely no idea what's going on, that's why.

[wiz]

"Dwarf! If you're going to untie anyone, help me and Johnny untie Soliman! That way he can go for the captain, and we won't have a free hit on our hands!"

[Zepher]

OoC:  I think it will become clear after we run a round.  That being said, I realized I made a mechanical error.  Those who are entangled SHOULD be listed in the battle order and WILL take damage from free hits/splash damage.  Otherwise if you are all entangled, it will be to your advantage.  I have edited the first post to attempt to make things more clear, and will run a round 4-6 hours from now.

[wiz]

OOC: It's a little late, but to clarify, I meant all loaned items/equipment would be returned.

[Duvors]

OOC: Well now that that's clarified...

Throlar follows Matthias plan.

I'm so confused. Did Darksten and Matthias lose their turns somehow? How did Wermheim and Mob A get free hits?

Bad reading.  Very tired I guess?  Will go fix that now.

Darksten watches as his target taunts him with a drink. He notches another arrow hoping to knock the mug from the sailor's hand...

Darksten repeats his attack

Lane tries to disentangle himself

ooc: maybe we should have let him ignore those two roles in 20/20 hindsight... Hahaha

You might be right!

Matthias, grumbling in a bass voice that seems too low to come from a tiny gnomish frame, gives his cannon a shake. "Fire, darn you!" He looks up to see Barkley ineffectually nipping at the slaver captain. "Sir Barkley, perhaps he's not your best target - try that foul-smelling drunken sailor!"

Battle Order
Barkley: Bite Wermheim
Cedric: Untie v. Parvati
Johnny Everyman: Untie v. Parvati

Lane: Untie v. Self
Soliman: Spear v. Mob C
Throlar: Mopagsaber v. Captain
> Darksten: Bow v. Wermheim
> Matthias: Extraordinaire v. Mob A
Medusa: Wait

Glancing towards Medusa, still chained to the wall, Matthias' regret is plain to see. "Hold on, Lady Medusa, we'll get to you as quick as we can!"

[Zepher]

"You heroes want to get in your blows first because you know once I'm free I'll rip them to shreds," snarls Medusa.  It is difficult to tell if she is angry at the slavers, at the heroes, or if her anger has consumed her blindly.

Round Two Slaver's Battle

>Parvati (Diamond) v. Mob B - Hit (26 Damage, -1 ether)
