Here's hoping the tree doesn't have 30' reach or a really strong ranged attack.

AH, could Clara reach the position of her fallen ally this turn? If yes, with just one or two move actions?

Also, would your rule that my current stance makes me immune to tremorsense:

"The character does not exert noticeable pressure on the ground and does not leave tracks. They can also stand on and move across water without falling in. This stance lasts until the character activates a different stance."

Enphasis on the bolded part. I bet the trees have some way to "see" through the smoke, and if my stance makes me undetectable by tremorsense, then I would risk getting close for the rescue.

You'd still have full concealment, so no AoOs, I think. IIRC tremorsense and blindsense would only let it know your position.

It can use AoOs if it has Blindsight though.

Darth, our characters remember where he last was. You could just head in there and grab him, unless the tree summoned something as well that would interfere with that, or if he's been moved somehow.

Yes, and one.

Sure.

Does my character see anything close to him in the fog?

Ah, good point. I was worried about the tree but Vian will die if we don't do anything so I'll grab him.

There's no breeze, so it'll take some time for the smoke to disperse.

radthemad4 · Post by **radthemad4** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 9:19 pm

Crap... Gust of Wind just clears a 60 ft straight line. I'd rather not land if I can help it. Anything in particular you guys would like to see?

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 9:52 pm

So, you want to wait for it to clear naturally?

radthemad4 · Post by **radthemad4** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 10:06 pm

I can only clear a 60 ft line at a time. I'm not going to do nothing (I can use that time to replenish my tokens and/or fireball where I thought the tree was if nothing else). Just asking the others if there's anything in particular they'd like shown.

Edit: Okay, not clearing any smoke yet.

Thanks for the stabilize. Can you carry me out to get some healing?

Darth Rabbitt · Post by **Darth Rabbitt** » Fri Oct 23, 2015 10:31 am

Sure. Clara's the only one with any healing atm, right?

ed: also, Orr might want to alert me about the boats. I should be able to drag them back to shore.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Fri Oct 23, 2015 3:12 pm

Quick recap for everybody:

1) A pall of smoke covers much of the battlefield. There is no sight of the murderous tentacle-tree. If nothing is done, it should clear on its own in a few rounds.

2) The boats are untethered and being carried out to sea by the current.

3) Vian is stabilized at -5 hp.

4) Alim is being savaged by a tree-rat with horns and glowing eyes.

Darth Rabbitt · Post by **Darth Rabbitt** » Fri Oct 23, 2015 4:25 pm

The only thing that Archimedes currently knows about is Vian, who he is going to try to get to Clara. If anyone wants help with one of the other scenarios (Archie would be perfect for taking care of the boats, and might be able to rip the murder rat in half) they have to tell me in character.

Am I allowed to state OOC suspicions here?

Done.

Still thinking about what I'll do with this turn.

Darth Rabbitt · Post by **Darth Rabbitt** » Fri Oct 23, 2015 11:19 pm

I'm guessing that the tree-rat is actually the tree from earlier, just in an alternate form.

CapnTthePirateG · Post by **CapnTthePirateG** » Sat Oct 24, 2015 3:04 am

Are we in position that I can color spray the rat without hitting Alim?

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Sat Oct 24, 2015 10:37 am

<checks map> Yes, Malagos could catch the rat in the cone of color spray without hitting Alim or anyone else.

Entirely sorry for the delays today, unexpected 800 mile round trip. Also, some of y'all aren't posting very much! C'mon, it's way too early to start flaking out. Once every 24 hours isn't much to ask.

Darth Rabbitt · Post by **Darth Rabbitt** » Sun Oct 25, 2015 2:29 am

Hopefully I'm keeping up well enough.

And I'd be surprised if the fight wasn't over by the point I get back to shore.

AcidBlades · Post by **AcidBlades** » Sun Oct 25, 2015 4:14 am

Is it my turn in the initiative yet?

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Sun Oct 25, 2015 4:34 am

Don't worry about initiative. Just post what you want to do.

Dominicius · Post by **Dominicius** » Sun Oct 25, 2015 1:08 pm

If a player is not posting you should feel free to automate them. You did ask for a battle script.
