    You might be pleased to know that since Flaganus grants combat advantage until the end of Areneth's next turn, your second strike actually does hit.

    hey Squish, if you want to go ahead and go again before my turn, then you'll have CA for any of your attacks.

    Not sure where Swain went off to again...

    Unfortunately, BP has PMed me and decided to drop from the game, so until the encounter's over, someone Temp for him.

    From then on out, we'll stick with the standard 5 man-party.

    Ugh, almost the most ineffective round ever for Swain.

    Ok, Titania can go next (to make use of the CA on Flaganus), then I'll get my post for Areneth up.

    Oh yeah.

    Forgot to add the +14 heal bonus (thought he only had 15)

    Going to edit the post, so he's not running away and stuff.

    Edit: Post re-updated.

    Also, for Ill: you can't target him from where your standing (what with a wall blocking your view), so he is treated as though he has Superior Cover (-5 to attack rolls) until you can trace a line of sight to him again.

    Ugh, whoever hits that guy next please make sure to hit him HARD, and if Summer could get Traorin on his feet again he can get over there and use his interrupts to keep enemy attacks from doing too much damage to the rst of the party. Traorin's going to have a lot of scars to boast about if he survives this one.

    Should Swain take the OA, therefore becoming the one that has CA against Flaganus for the round, or forego the OA so that someone like Dorn can take the CA (if he has more attacks)?

    I think it would be better for Dorn or Titania to take the CA because they can do more damage per round that the rest of us.

    Dorn has the couters of roll again if you screw up now, so I can do that once a day and this day has GOT to be over soon. So Titania is probably the one who benefits most from it in that case. That said, I believe Titania's turn is technically next round and I don't know if we can go quite that out of order. So perhaps Swain or Traorin should use the CA as they are generally attacking Flaganus' AC anyway, right? That's his highest stat if I remember rightly so they need all the help they can get.

    Well, the way my character is tooled I'm best for absorbing damage and keeping him from taking you all out of the fight by interrupting any attacks he makes on any of you. Offensively I can't do more than 16 damage per turn (and that's with a critical hit), that's where you strikers shine, you guys can pour on the damage while Traorin takes it. He can knock Traorin down till he's blue in the face, as long as he keeps getting healed up after every bad hit I can keep him focused on Traorin while the rest of the party pummel him from different directions.

    Yeah, I suppose that's a TiamatZ question, if Titania can go this early in the round.

    If so, I say she takes it, to be sure that we get the most damage out of it.

    Summer has one more heal left, so can get Traorin back up but is weakened, so shouldn't take the CA.

    Nope. We follow the block as statted (sic) in the Initiative block.

    The only way for Titania to go first would be everyone to delay until Round 4

    Ok, then I guess Swain will take the OA and the CA granted until the end of Areneth's next turn. I don't think we want to all delay, since Traorin is down and he'd have to make a death save if we waited (I doubt you can choose to delay when you're bleeding...)

    So I'll roll it up and take Swain's turn on top of that, and get it all posted here soon.

    Finals (getting my BA on sunday!), sorry for the delay. IC post incoming.

    Edit: Two threes!?!? Wow . . . just wow. I ran two test rolls on Invisible Castle, so I know it's not the website that's the problem, just me :(

    Thanks!

    Game Related: Arrgh, I wish I was awake when Flaganus went, I could've used my interrupt to keep Summer on her feet. I would imagine interrupts are difficult to schedual in PbP games though. Next time!

    Either Dorn or Traorin gets to move into flanking with Swain. Maybe Dorn, so Traorin can keep him locked in the corner?

    For interrupts, you could list them in your previous turn. Just say that if X happens, I'm doing Y.

    It would have helped had Witch actually declared that he would mark Flaganus (since in his last post he didn't, and I do believe marks drop when the PC that marked the target is dying.

    Since he didn't, he'll have to next turn.

    Remember, if you don't post it, it didn't happen.

    Arg, I forgot I have to re-mark each turn. My bad on that, I somehow thought when I marked him during round 2.5 it lasted the whole combat.

    No, your thinking of a standard Fighter or Paladin's mark.

    For a Warden, even though you have the ability to mark adjacent enemies, you only retain the mark until the end of your next turn. So basically you have to constantly mark your enemies, or the mark drops.

    Yeah, I think Traorin missed the opportunity on that this round, so he'd have to bust it out next round.

    Areneth's post coming up.

    Welp, I gave Swain a heroic death as much as possible. Going to run with a five man party for the moment, until I think otherwise.

    Also, congrats on surviving your first Solo.

    Thoughts on it? Was it a decent Solo for the level? Or was it a pushover? Or was it really worthy of holding the Solo title?

    Great solo, my compliments to you TiamatZ, you really are running this thing well!

    Poor Swain though :( , my character will honor his passing by wearing his heat in his absence.
