[DFRPG] Crawl! OOC

[Hide]

Hey there, l got a few questions/concerns:

1. How many prisoners are with us?
2. Let’s assume the goblins approached silently with stealth; Gathika casted watchdog, so the goblins should have been detected before they could actually ambush the party. And since they are attacking from the distance, we may have a chance to take action before combat starts; I assume this is where the per/observation rolls take place, including Gathika’s sunlight spell.
3. On the other hand, Vic picked a safe place with survival; so, to attack us, the goblins must have gotten closer (and stand in the open, albeit with stealth):

4. The goblins took stealth under the protection of the night, but now that they attack with the sun up, their stealth breaks (they are in plain sight).
5. Did Telrith do stuff before going to bed?
6. Finally, Bain set traps and camouflaged them to prevent the enemies from approaching, some should have fell for it. He was also doing watch.

Thank you!

Five prisoners.

Telrith declared his preparations before the random encounter roll was made. Read the IC thread.

The bad guys avoided the Watchdog spell by keeping their distance. Ditto the noisemaker traps.

Gathika's spell is cast on HER turn, the bad guys are still hidden until then.

Telrith will try to fast talk them into following the party around and "Guarding" the wagon. I rolled an 8! that's a success by 4.

Where does the attack take place, what time is it, and what was the party doing?

The former prisoners do grab weapons and fight in self-defense, they just do not want to delve dungeons.

Your camp outside the canyon. At night. Midnight. Probably sleeping.

Huh? which ever post are you referring to? I have no memory of this.

So they're hitting in the face in the dark while we're prone from approximately how far away?

And a proper camp setup has Telrith setting up his standard fort.


Which is all to say, lets establish what's going on and process it.

Bain suceeded with his observation roll (12) 11, but only learns the party is under attack.

OK, taking her words into accout, Bain will wait for Gathika; then he will strike.

IMO, it should be about 7 yards.

@erictehered bring the gokeks to cover you and I. Make one help you put the shield on, to join the fight more quickly. I can heal you after sunlight is cast!

Vic tries to see where the assault is coming from, but fails. Thankfully the attack against him misses him barely.

On his turn Vic waits for Gathika's spell.

The requested NPC rolls have been made!

What is the height they are at, 6 yards, right?
That returns the -3 you gave them, at 10 yards of distance (firing downward).

[vicious Violence]

Vic goes to the nearest tree with an enemy/enemies. if he cannot reach with his sword he will try to cut down the tree. Move is 4. Always facing towards the enemies, sword up ready to parry.

Bain takes an AOA double, he delivers 3 arrows, one of them hits the mark.

Fast-Draw (14) 13 & Ready (14) 13:
Shooting 11 (13+3-3-2: Vitals-TA, Acc, Range, SM).
3d6=5, success!

Damage is 2d6+4 (2) * 3 IMP.
3d6= 5+1+4 (2) * 3 IMP.
It deals up to 30 HP of injury.

He attacks one of the Chautchos that are not dazzled.

That is correct. And they are not goblins.

Vic will have to climb over the earth walls of their camp first.
