[D&D 4E OOC] The Residuum Revolution Arcane and Strange

Witch_Hunter_84

My first roll of the game and it's a natural 20!

Edit: Are griffins and other winged creatures considered fey or magical?

Lord Palington

Haha, whoops. At least I didn't waste a good roll on the Vengeance. I'll go ahead and edit the IC part of that out.

daniant

Wooo story is already progressing on both fronts. This has been a very unproductive day for me at work.

Turanos

What does Mnemo find in the first chest? Also, what are my options in terms of actions for retrieving, carrying and distributing the weapons?

Aegof

Probably not a lot, since you're only supposed to have one action in a surprise round and Mnemo wouldn't even be able to get to the chest.

Turanos

Oh, I see. In that case I'll retcon it to just be the shard swarm.

Bhow

Arcane

What would be an appropriate roll for tracking? Perception? Nature?

Also, what thoughts do you have on using Speak with Spirits encounter power outside of combat?

Primal
Minor; Personal
Effect: During this turn, you gain a bonus to your next skill check equal to your Wisdom modifier.

To see the man he pointed out to you in the crowd: Perception.

To continue to see the man pointed out to you in the crowd: Perception

To track the man pointed out to you in the crowd after you lost sight of him: Nature.

Regarding speak with spirits, you can use it on any one skill check out of combat as well.

Lord Palington

Okay, I can't get Orokos or Invisible Castle dice roller to work on my phone. Is there any way I can make my posts from work, and leave the dice rolls blank, then have someone else roll them and I'll edit in the results after?

I'm going to keep trying on this. Are there any dice rollers people know of that definitely work on a phone's limited resources?

Aegof

daniant, how do you prefer to handle reactions and interrupts? Should I be prerolling Fire Pulse to save time when Ladej inevitably gets hit?

That's fine. You could even post it in the stat block each round. Use spoilers though please.

Unsalted

I have the same problem. Im still looking for one myself.

You can post your actions and then I'll roll the stuff for you, if you want...

daniant

You could also try random.org and see if their random number generator will work.

Lord Palington

I did find some dice rolling apps on the droid marketplace, but none of them seem like they would upload, so they really couldn't be verified. Pretty unfortunate!

daniant

It's so strange, because Orokos works just fine on my iPhone...

Unsalted

It works great up to the point where it launches the overlay for the results on my phone.

Lord Palington

Nevermind, got it working. Unsalted - if you're running an Android OS phone, try downloading Opera Mobile Browser, it worked perfectly for me.

Unsalted

Nice, Ill give it a shot.

daniant

Woot.

Unsalted

testing test test: 1d20+10 23

daniant

Too bad that was a test.

Unsalted

I cant wait til Horse and I get to bluff. Together

daniant

It twill be sweet.

Turanos

Since I have a move, minor and standard to use this turn, can I know what kind of situation I'd be facing if I did decide to have Mnemo run into the office, open a chest and try to gather weapons? As in, the movement and minor to open the chest are obvious, but what could I then do with my standard action, and what kind of actions over how long would I be looking at to get the weapons out to the group?

Unsalted

Cant you trade down a standard for another move? Does it work like that? We use houserules so my knowledge on the subject is tainted.

streever

unsalted, yea, a standard is the king of movements. You can use it for anything.

A move can only be turned down as a minor.

Unsalted

So you could move in, minor open the chest, and use the standard to grab everything out of it. Or you could use the Standard to a Move to move in, Move to a minor to open the one chest, minor to open another and grab averything in BOTH chests next round and still be able to move back?

streever

That would depend on Dani: but it sounds plausible to me. I think you intend to do the following:

Standard as Move: Get to chest
Move as Minor: Open Chest A
Minor: Open Chest B

Round 2
Minor: Take weapons from Chest A
Standard as Minor: Take weapons from Chest B
Move: Teleport to jail cell

I guess it depends on how big the weapons are and how many of them are there

Turanos

Unfortunately I can't teleport again this encounter, and even if I could it requires line of sight, so I wouldn't be able to do it from the office into the cells as the office has actual sight-blocking walls, I believe (otherwise I would have teleported directly into the office).

streever

The guards do look like push-overs anyway. If you can just get out one or two weapons for the members of your party who can't fight without them, I'm sure you'd be a big help.

Turanos

Pushovers? I was actually surprised at how much more health and defences they have than all of us! That said I'm very new to D&D so my judgement on these things is inexperienced.

dresdenphile

Well, Ilesombra's probably going to have to delay until Slip goes, or until someone can bust the door down, because she is a dainty flower and can't do it herself.

I was surprised at the first encounter I ran as a DM, where my monsters had more HP, and outnumbered the PCs, and Dresden slaughtered their leader in 1 move ;-)

Turanos: You can run to I17 (+2 to your speed, - 5 to attack) and open both of the chests there in one round.

It's another minor action for each chest to take stuff out.

Lord Palington

Strange

Tordain only has a +5 athletics check, should I focus on supporting fire with Radiant Vengeance or try and knock out that weak door in between the cells?

dresdenphile

Strange:

Bust me out, dwarf!

Lord Palington

Fair enough. I don't go until after the guards though, so you'll need to hang tight a few more minutes.

daniant

dresden, you can hold your turn until after Lord Palington goes.
