[OOC] Pavillion

[FoggyKnight]

Yesterday was the fortieth anniversary of D&D by the way. It was one of the Yahoo articles.

[Fon]

Nice! Well, I wasn't really paying attention to stuff like these, but nice!

[FoggyKnight]

Frag, I think Catherine got smashed backwards five feet from the attack, right? So she is right where she can safely run away out of the creature's range?

[Fon]

I was actually wondering if the big zombie has natural reach, after all there are two types of large (tall and long); one has reach, but not the other. If the zombie has no reach, then running away is just a matter of taking the Withdraw action.

[FoggyKnight]

I was counting on the guy to have reach, but I forgot you do have to Withdraw in order to get out of reach, long or not.

[DukeofTuring]

Having just read the rules on the "Withdraw" action something like yesterday, I can testify that Withdraw only prevents AoOs when you're moving out of the square that you start in. So *if* the big zombie-mess has reach, Catherine won't just be able to withdraw out of combat without having to take a swing in her direction.

She's got +8 in acrobatics, though, so there's hope there. Zombies don't tend to have good CMDs, even big strong ones, owing to the whole DEX bit

[Fon]

Oh yeah, I completely forgot that we got tumble. I guess not being able to use it for a good while has made me forgot about that.

The zombie doesn't have reach anymore. The corpse he was wielding splattered apart. That is the problem with using an improvised weapon to deal 12 damage when it only had 4HP when it was alive in the first place.

Having left you with that delightful mental image, withdraw!

[DukeofTuring]

I'll just have Phil waiting unless anyone needs him to rush back and do something

[BladeTempest]

sorry for going dark everyone but i may have found a permanent solution to my "housing" issue and that has been drawing all of my attention. I should be finding out in a day or two if that is indeed the case. will resume posting after stressing out for way to long and being awake for 4 hours after i should have gone to bed... and not having eaten anything for like 20 hours... being broke sux

[Fon]

Well, good luck again, Blade. I guess this just means Frag has to NPC Cath into retreating for now.

You can do it! *believe in me who believes in you*

[FoggyKnight]

Had to get in a post here to keep my streak going of last posts in all of my games. xD

Off to work in an hour.

[BladeTempest]

well sorry guys but today my managers decided to **** with me and now my only option to continue option to not live on the streets is to work whatever god damn mother ****ing dick shaft shifts they decide to give me. I doubt i will be able to actually do anything seriously on here for eight weeks at the earliest.

[Fragmaster01]

*hugs and condolences* We will be ready when you are ready. Be safe, and do the thing.
