Inconceivable!
Posting from a Kindle at work is gonna be even more slow, now :P Left thumb is in a splint; no break, but really deep, and the doc wanted to make sure I didn't reopen it over and over typing or the like :p

:( :( hope it heals up soon!
It'll be fine :p I was gonna be slow to post at work anyway, so no huge change. :)
Quite funny the Princess Bride bit hah. Sorry about your thumb, I burned the crap out of my finger on a not microwave safe glass today, grr.

I mostly avoid anything that has 'hot' involved in it, anymore. I got burned a lot when I was little, due to not understanding hot. Like... I didn't have an oven mitt to get a pizza out of the oven. So I soaked a wash rag to make it cold before I used it. Water is a much better conductor than cloth, I'm afraid. :(
Yeah we get a lot of steam injuries in my line of work, pretty gnarly.
What sort of work are you in?
Nurse, most recently in the OR, we autoclave instruments which I am sure you do also, but there are a lot of burns on freshly processed stuff.
Nope! I actually don't have any medical training at all. Aside from the obvious little things that I can do to make things easier for everyone else. :)

I rotated in an OR setting with a nurse anesthetist and I couldn't stand it. I'm squeamish, I guess. Also, more boring than I would have expected haha!

On an unrelated note, my mental image for Markus is roughly someone who would look at home in a Tim Burton movie, so your post made me laugh.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Markus probably would look at home in a Tim Burton movie, quite indeed. He's creepy and kind of depressed, and certainly dark.
Maybe some Danny Elfman in the background...
:P What, you want me to say 'Ary stays in the back again.'? :P
Caves suck for melee combat, we can alternate 'tanking' if you prefer? I will let you tank the demons :)
I'm good with whatever we need. Ary would prioritize her companion's safety over the destruction of enemies. There will always be more enemies, you know? :P
Ary will be more willing to press into the enemies when we aren't worried about the wounded. :)
Sorry about the delay, it's my husband's birthday :] so been treating him. I got him a video game tho so I expect him to hunker down with that for the remainder of the evening :P
I'll have a post up in the next hour or so.
What game did you get for him?
I bought him all the heroes he was missing in Heroes of the Storm, a LoL-ish game
Neat. That should keep him busy for quite a while.
Okay, I may be misreading the Unchained rules and I don't want to argue, but how am I wounded? I'm only down one hit point. Do temporary hit points count or something?
Yeah, I went over that earlier, that the unchained rules don't clearly state how to interpret the term "maximum hit points" when using temporary hit points.
So I've been summing the temp hit points with the normal HP to determine "maximum hit points", since it makes logical sense to me that spells like false life would interact that way (by making you more resistant to wounding - it takes more total HP to move you a notch overall, but not a straight up pad to the defenses)
We could do this the other way, but if we do, Ary is grazed, Aravashnial is critically wounded (and therefore could not have summoned that elemental earlier), and Anevia is wounded - because they have HP damage but not temp HP damage - so it is not a minor change at this point.
My bad. I must not have been paying attention when that came up. Sorry.
I'm fine with either. Unless one of us makes some (more :p) unusual choices, it won't likely come up that often. :)
no problem. :)

Also, post was eated.
I'm very odd in that on most games I have tons of alts... but on Mobas, I tend to stick to the things I know I like. On LoL I go with Janna. I haven't done anything with Heroes of the Storm. There was one called Dawngate that had the most amazing backstory, and some really neat gameplay mechanics... but was owned by EA. So... it dedd.
Addendum that was left off! Lots of characters wouldn't keep me busy, aside from trying everyone once, and winding up hating half :p
@Valaria: Am I correct in reading the action that you didn't move and just went full-defensive?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Sorry, that's mostly flavor text. My post was mainly to tell everyone to not come down the tunnel so we can try and get the flies out into the little cavern where the party is and fight as a group instead of trying to maneuver in that tiny space.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Just in case my turn comes up 'fore tomorrow morning:
Li'an will fall back around the corner and attempt to hide in the shadows there to wait for a chance to ambush the flies when they move forward.
I was trying to suggest to Avi that dismissing the False Life effect might be a good idea, but it doesn't have a dismissable duration; it gets discharged when it runs out. :) So maybe -not- wounded. :)
No prob and I certainly wouldn't mind that :) I figured either that or recasting it. It's just in character for Valaria to brush off smaller injuries. She's used to them and used to having to deal with them alone.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Recasting would be probably good, although I thought the wound was worse than that from the descriptions :p
Li'an moves up cautiously, attempting to catch the emerging fly off-guard.
Posting is going to be a bit slower for me next couple days, as I'm on a business trip and won't have net access at work. I should still be able to post later in the evening though.
Aravashnial is blind, so you need to come to him, and announce your presence :p
Makes sense. I think I can manage that :p
Flurry Strike #1
Attacking with both weapons on the mutant fly, Hrut lands a solid shield bash to it's face to set up a vicious axe blow to one of the fly's bulbous eyes!
"These are some nasty insects! Stay close to me so I can protect you."
I hope she is okay, if I were up front it would not have happened. A moment of doubt creeping into Hrut's head and shaking it off with a noticeable shake of his helmet.
If you guys get to post through initiative today while I am at work don't wait for Horgus, he doesn't have any intention of being useful when his life isn't immediately threatened :p
As for Aravashnial, he has held his action to cast false life (1d10+6) on Valaria if she gets close to him to do so. So you don't need to wait on him, either. :)

Enduring Crane Strike
if he hits
Channeling his inner combat power, Hrut swings at the fly with a golden battleaxe.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
And Ary will stick to her prepared action. :)
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Sorry, slipped my mind. I wasn't gonna do anything anyway. I'm leery to use my remaining spells.
For his next action, though, Markus will pick a stone off the ground, cast light on it (removing the light from Hrut's shield. That's ok, though - Hrut is still in the area of the flaming sword) and toss it down the passageway towards the unseen crab.
Shards of Iron Strike
Strength+Broken blade bonus(forgot it last time not that I needed it)
(if it hits fly is staggered with no save.)
Turning his battleaxe slightly Hrut comes down from an unexpected angle against the fly.
"Why won't you die you nasty evil thing!? Is there something going on back there also?"
Hrut shouts calling back to Ary at rear guard.
Ary is currently pretty torn between the right course of action. Defend her fellows... but battle... but other battle... but she is the source of light until the others bring down the fly...
So... I guess the best choice is for her to stand her ground until the others can relocate their attention to the crab-monster... unless things look bad in the direction of said crab monster beforehand.
So... in short... Ary probably holds her action, again. Or readies. Depending. :P
If the fly moves out, and is still alive when Ary can move again, she'll move to aid Little Li'an's Attack. If it's dead, or she can't reach it, she'll stay where she is (if possible while tethered).
If she's still tethered, then she'll attempt to aid her allies once more, ready an action to throw the thing off balance again.
If not... she'll simply hold her action. :)
Option A: Ary slips over to Li'an's side, and just as Fen'wen begins to strike, she swipes her own blade towards the fly's other side, attempting to dazzle it with the light, or at least draw the attention from her deadly companion.
Option B: Ary will once more attempt to throw the crab off balance if she's still tethered to it. If it relinquishes its grip, then she'll simply wait... and trust her fellows (albeit grumpily) to handle everything as it needs to be handled.
Option C: Ary curses her own indecision. Her first -real- sets of combat, and it's been nothing but false choices... at least she has people to protect...

Yes I basically am like, ooo new shiny enemy, this one is basically dead... even though he hasnt had damage as far as I recall hah.
In the future, please hide any prepared rolls behind spoilers :) That way people aren't tempted to metagame by knowing that something is probably gonna take damage soon.

Oops, sorry. Will do!
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Guess I should comply too, just in case. o3o
Torag and Al'asadriel guide my axe that it may strike true and help my comrades.
Hrut calls back, "Thanks for the opening Ary!"
Home. Long RP was long. But also Ihop. Sleep now. :)
Enjoy, all!
Whoops, guess I should have asked beforehand. Ehren should have had a round 7 action left over right? I don't particularly mind since he's running out of options at the moment, but I just wanted to make sure how it works in case summoning becomes a Thing for him.
