Aw crap I should've used Shielding Retaliation on Jack's last turn... I would've taken the opportunity attack damage for him and gotten an attack of my own.

Either they or the Oni mage must have an interrupt or reactive healing power (since regeneration doesn't work if your hit points go below zero)
and goddamnit i was hoping my coup de grace would be the ultimate death of troll E during my action. ONE HIT POINT... DAMMIT.
Let me know if I miscalculated something on Jack's part that put his damage to low... or like, say, if you would have chosen to maybe power attack with your basic attack? :P

I'm just messing with you
Though, now that I'm thinking on it, monsters are considered dead when they reach 0 HP. The dark power that's bringing him back may continue to function anyhow.
they're dead after they fail three saving throws or reach negative their bloodied value hp.
just like everyone else.
right?
As I've always understood it, bad guys are just dead at 0 unless there is a special reason for them not to be.

From the PHB
Monsters and characters controlled by the Dungeon
Master usually die when they reach 0 hit points,
unless you choose to knock them out (see “Knocking
Creatures Unconscious”). You generally don’t need to
stalk around the battlefield after a fight, making sure
all your foes are dead
i see that this is a case of my IRL DM opting to let monsters make death saving throws so that he can laugh maniacally in the case of throwing a natural 20.

Bearing this in mind, shoe, if you want to roll back your last turn and redo it, by all means, please do.
nah I will leave it be. it just peeves me that a party incapable of dealing fire damage would also be completely incapable of killing these things with powers.
they'd have to drop weapons and light the damn things aflame to do so... considering the oni mage floating around, a less than ideal solution.
like without taking two move actions to put up your weapons and be standing there like a maroon when it gets up n' shit

I will rule that, while the loss of his head isn't an altogether unrecoverable condition to the Troll you raped in the face, it's not one he is like to get over in the next few minutes.
I'm not sure of how many other trolls we will be facing, but looking at the name of the module tells me that it may be beneficial to the party if a couple of us pick up some basic +1 flaming weapons ASAP.

FYI, I'm moving in the morning, and thus computer time is limited tonight while I finish up getting ready. Carry on and I'll post when I can, but don't hate me if I don't respond much till tomorrow afternoon
Hate me, instead, for all the fucking trolls your about to fight
Ok, fixed post again. I knew that there was a dead rider, just Siali's question to the man asking him what happened to his friend confused me. Forgot that Jack was the one who saw him earlier.
Edit: And I have a feeling that the Mage will be back later. Probably with a bunch of more trolls.
yeah, he's just ratting us out to his other invisible friends

Fuck, moving sucks.
I'm in my new place now and working through a massive sea of boxes and trying to find places to put the things contained in them. I'm going to try and get caught up on the thread tonight and be back on track from tomorrow on.

Gee, you think? Maybe...
If he gets up again I'm declaring shenanigans!

I wouldn't think so, it seems to be outside the spirit of the power, which is an amusing trick, nothing that would deal combat damage.
Scorching Burst OOTO...

Not the only way.

Just for killing blows and whatnot.
i have a feeling that we're about to get a shot of lightning to the back...
