Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I think I might start parodying this guy as our journey progresses. Should be fun.

We MAY be in need of a replacement striker. Anyone still interested, please pipe up here and let me know, and I'll get back to you in a few days.
Hells yes splittin up, haha.

I'm all the Striker we need! To be honest, you could pick up an anything to fill the gap. Two-handed Defender, a more offense-minded Leader. We have the four basics, the fifth person can be anything.
Dust off your rogue. He's in.
1. Charge rules. When a creature with reach charges, it must end its charge in the nearest possible square it can attack from. Therefor, the Dire Boar cannot end its turn in G17 (for the purposes of this post, I'm will be referring to large creatures as occupying the upper right square in terms of grid placement). In order for the boar to legally charge me, it must end its move in either F16, G16, H16 or I16. All of those squares are exactly 7 squares away from the Boar's starting point, making them all legal spaces for the charge to end (and hit Zurin).
2. This is the part where I become "that guy" and point out a DM's mistake in our favor. Since standing up is a move action and charging is a standard, the northernmost boar (let's call him Boar A) can totally charge something on this turn. Presumably Jordan, who's well within charge range (he may be hiding behind those barrels, granting him cover, but since he didn't make a stealth check the boar presumably knows he's there). Again, the nearest spaces to Jordan that Boar A can legally charge to are B14, C14, D14 and E14, all of are exactly 5 squares away and grant Jordan cover (and thus a -2 penalty to the Boar's attack roll. Since charging in inherently a +1, that's a net -1 to the attack roll. Not great, but better than nothing).
Just sayin.

Zone is Burst 1 centered at G10, so it affects squares F9-11, G9-11, and H9-11.
Also updated my stat block to include my Orb of Imposition power, which I forgot to list.
"Whatever action you choose, the act of readying it is a standard action".
HOWEVER, he mentioned Sudden Scales, which is an Immediate Interrupt. I think he's saying that he's planning to use it on whatever tries to hit him. I think.
"Uh...Achak, dude! Time to...go over that way please!"

Such as goddamn son my poor bad guys.
I realize that this is the easiest fight here but still, you hit fucking hard.
Surprise doubles are the worst. At least when you know they're comin you can mentally prepare yourself.

Like, if monster A rolls a 23, you don't necessarily need to link to invisiblecastle, but saying "17+8-2(cover)=23vsAC" would go a long way.
Just sayin'.

edit: And thanks for putting up with the silly mistakes, guys.
Thanks for hosting a PbP and giving us the opportunity to play.
ANOTHER NINJA EDIT: Zurin's AC is actually a single point higher than it says in his statblock (25, not 24). I'll change it now.
