Dannylonglegs Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 You should really say stuff like this much earlier if you previously read our posts. Also the description of the bedroll says it restores health and ether while in a safe place not over a period of time. And I feel well rested and replenished after I get into my nice comfy bed for five seconds too. "Go ahead and cast the spell, mate. I think we've all caught our breaths now." Quote
The_Customizer Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Let us just hurry up and kill these people, and their crazy contraptions. Quote
UsernameMDM Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Are we getting a "prepare for battle" line up or action order or just lobbing spells and bombs in hopes it does something? Hoke peers through the crack to assess the guards and their machine gun. Edited May 10, 2012 by UsernameMDM Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Are we getting a "prepare for battle" line up or action order or just lobbing spells and bombs in hopes it does something? Hoke peers through the crack to assess the guards and their machine gun. "Go ahead and Cast the spell at the guy on the gun, and kill him." I'm sure you'll have to roll for attack, but other than that, it should be as simple as saying your action. Quote
UsernameMDM Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Am I the only one attacking? Is there plan? Quote
Tamamono Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 "Hoke should cast his spell first, and then we throw some bombs if it doesn't work. Sylph could throw a lightning bomb and I could throw my fire bomb. Hoke, you can cast your spell now." Quote
UsernameMDM Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Sorry guys, I don't mean to be a pain. Just trying to figure out if we can actually do these actions. Is the crack big enough to cast a spell through or throw a bomb or shoot an arrow? If so, am I able to target the guard on the machine gun? I have not figured out the QM's application of realism here. Quote
Bricksandparts Posted May 10, 2012 Author Posted May 10, 2012 QM Note: The crack in the wall is big enough to shoot an arrow or spell through, but there is a 50% chance of it hitting a target, and if it does hit a target, it will be random. The party can go with their original plan and use a bomb to try to blow up the wall. And a bedroll is for sleeping, not getting on it for 3 seconds, getting up, and having full health and ether, wouldn't that ruin barbarian's natural respite? Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 "Well, If we want surprise, why don't we just blow up the wall and end this." Quote

In game time isn't the same. Who said we were acting immediately? If Durkon got in, he should be able to get out or to safety. Besides, if we are going by your time logic, the guards would have had plenty of time to blow him full of holes with the machine gun by the time we got back to the crack in the wall. Also, couldn't the guards have just left the room by now? I feel there are too many variables in play that you are not making us aware of. Quote

UsernameMDM Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 No, but this is supposed to be a simple game, and I think you are trying hard to complicate it and turn it into AD&D (now and from previous posts you have made in other threads). That's why I took the action of peering through the crack to assess the guards. That was my roleplaying attempt at trying to get the information you just divulged as a QM note to my OOC post. You should have gave that information out or something vaguely similar to it in answer to Hoke's action. Quote

Hoke peers through the crack and realizes guards seem to be preparing to leave the dungeon, pulling their weapon behind them on a track. Quote
The_Customizer Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 I agree, let's destroy this wall and attack them from behind, hopefully enabling us to destroy the machina gun before they can put it to use. Shall I fire an arrow in while you throw the bomb? Quote
UsernameMDM Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 "Let's blast the wall down now!" "Let's, but! I need a healer to come with me. We will go back to the room. When the blast from the bomb goes off and if a successful breach is attained, we will launch a surprise attack while the guards are distracted by the blast. Then join our attack as well. Hopefully Durkon will pick up on the actions. How does that sound?" Hoke said with a grin. Quote

Having said that and waiting for further objections, Sylph placed the hot fire bomb within the crack in the wall. "Get down Erdy." Edited May 10, 2012 by Dannylonglegs Quote
Bricksandparts Posted May 11, 2012 Author Posted May 11, 2012 QM Note: If you think I'm taking too long to update, it's probably because I'd like the Party leaders permission with the plan. So right now I'm just waiting for Tomas to say OK to the plan. Quote
Tamamono Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 "I think the plan is a good one. Let's go with it." OOC: Sorry! I didn't think you needed my okay to go ahead with the plan. Quote
UsernameMDM Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 "I think the plan is a good one. Let's go with it." "On our way then. We shall wait for the blast." Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 "On our way then. We shall wait for the blast." "Good, We're just waiting for the bomb to go off now, for some reason, it's taking a while for the darn thing to blow." Quote
UsernameMDM Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Hoke and Tomas creep back towards the entryway to the room where the guards were. Hoke draws out his amethyst and rubs a glove thumb across its sleek surface. Quote
Bricksandparts Posted May 11, 2012 Author Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Hoke and Tomas travel to the entrance, fortunately not being spotted. The hot fire bomb is lit, or something like that and it explodes! Bricks fly outward and inward to the room and shouts can be heard. Hoke uses his amethyst on the guard on the machine gun and lands a successful hit, but the armor he is wearing defends some damage. The party sees the leader pull a lever and a wall slowly slides downwards revealing a tunnel! The guard starts up the gun and Tomas and Hoke duck for cover! "Idiots! Stop them!" QM Note: Yes the return of my custom game mechanics ! If people think it's a bit too complex I'll find another way to do the battle.

UsernameMDM Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Seriously? Why can't you just follow the rules? Why are you creating something COMPLETELY different? This game is fun because it is SIMPLE! Please rethink this battle in a more classic Heroica fashion. Plus - Why am I still stunned? And, I have the axe & Erd has the bow from the last battle. Quote
