Our Story:
The Giant spider has been killed by the combined might of the party. 2 of the small ones are attacking happy & Pandora.
Panda shoots at the spider on the lowest health @rolld20

You rolled a 17.
1 Hit for 0.5 damage, must have used my luck up yesterday
Do a search next round. If you find a spear keep both weapons. It does more damage than your current weapon.
Quaid shoots Grip arrows at little big ass spiders... @rolld20
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.
You rolled a 10.
Switch to the other one to entangle it... @rolld20
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.
You rolled a 3.
Both entangled, so switch back to the first one and pile on some damage, @rolld20
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.
You rolled a 3.
@rolld20
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.
You rolled a 14.
4 hits, both spiders entangled in vines, 3 damage and 1 damage. "Finish them off!"
Thunk says, “nice shootin’ Quaid. Let’s give let new guy get a feel for the kill. He’s got some learnin’ To do.”
Hurray!!!!
For my level-up, I would like to increase my Attack rating by +1, and pick the Quick shot skill.
I will roll for my hearts now, which I very well might need soon!
@rollthedice
Shake shake shake, you roll the 6-sided die.
You rolled a 4.
So I believe that means I gained 1❤️ worth of hitpoints, not bad!
Yes 1 ♥️ Pretty good
I made a mistake in reading the rules about quick shot, I thought it required an action but no mana but it turns out it does. Now it kind of makes no sense to pick it since if I want to spend mana I already have empowered missile and there's not much point in using both abilities? Edit: Also, this makes quick shot a lot more powerful than empowered missile, it seems, compared to the mana spent. How about we expand the empowered missile ability a little to include some other minor effects other than the extra damage? Like a slow/freeze , debuff or a damage-over-time effect?
I am thinking of switching it to Imbue instead, do you think it's a wise idea? Or should I just stick with a concretely useful combat ability?
Empowered Missle has a range of 3. This means you can cast the ability on an ally making THEIR misses empowered. Seems pretty good to be able to add to an allies arsenal.
I’m probably getting Bless next. It allows the user to buff allies. Since an immobilized character can still use mind/mana it would be real handy with these darn spider webs.
In fact, since you are immobilized at the moment you could give Panda a boost since he’s right next to you.
I suppose first I will try to cut me and happyme free from the webs using an arrow - it worked before!
I forgot how the roll works exactly, but my STR is 3 and I think it's a D20 roll so here goes:
@rolld20
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.
You rolled a 9.
When you are webbed you cannot cut yourself free. Your arms are immobilized and you cannot reach a weapon or use it.
1- An ally near you can cut you free.
2- You CAN use any mind attack you might have. If you cast fire on the web you will hurt yourself too.
3- you can do a strength check against the webs target strength (this web is 10)
Web -if a player is hit with web they can not move until they break free. They can break free from the web by rolling 1D20+strength, they must beat the web’s target number. The web can also be cut or burned. If a creature is in the web when it is burned they are also burned. A player hit with a web is considered immobile
New status effect - Immobile: a creature that is immobile can not move or attack with weapons but may use any skill using the mind trait.
Also Quick shot requires 1 mana.
Oh! Crap, I misread, thought it only cost an action...
Ignore those rolls I guess, since I already spent all my mana on an empowered missile. :(
Thanks! I guess I made some mistakes in this turn :S
It’s OK, Your only Elven after all. We Dwarves...
LOL! So true
I think that means I succeed?? Please somebody with more knowhow, confirm?
Can we fire arrows in melee?
If so, Pandora uses her quick shot ability to quickly shoot two arrows at the spider heading towards her just as she cuts the both of them free from the webs.
first quickshot:
@rolld20
If it turns out I can't shoot arrows in melee combat, ignore these rolls - I might run instead
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.
You rolled a 14.
with my new attack rating from the level-up, this should be a hit for 1❤️
second quickshot:
@rolld20
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.
You rolled a 4.
Another hit for another 1❤️
Another set of quickshots
@rolld20
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.
You rolled a 14.
Is that a giant spider with his leg on young Omar's face?
No one legs my mates!
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.
You rolled a 3.
Aye.. I'll try that again... also, who killed our allies?
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.
You rolled a 18.
Allies? What allies?
OOC:
That's my question... regarding the post title.
Did you miss Quaid's horrific self-thought?" Wait, spiders are fighting frogmen? Who's on whose side? Did we eat some of our allies?"
No, I totally caught it, but Thunk can’t hear you think. I’ve been waiting for a chance for Thunk to respond to the thought process. Every time Thunk tries to talk to the darn key it goes silent. From what I gather the frogmen’s voices are translated thru the key. But they quit talking. Everyone keeps killing and in character Thunk is all for the fighting.
Thunk yells, “ET, you lunkhead! That ones already dead. Someone get this dwarf an ale so he can see straight”
OI! Are you sure? It's not on it's back with it's legs curled up...
After someone gets me some ale... who can I axe? I haven't axed anything for an eternity...
Quaid: "I'd keep hitting it to make sure it's not feigning death!"
Thunk, “Just don’t get spider goo all over ye self.”
Thunk searches for a frogman spear. @rollthedice
Shake shake shake, you roll the 6-sided die.
You rolled a 6.
Awesome! Thunk send the frog over to Zur and scoops him up. Now Zur is high enough to reach the spider.
“Here, try this spear. Poke them spiders”!
OOC: The spear has 1❤️ Damage. Use all 4 of your attacks. If needed I still have enough movement to get you to the 2nd Spider.
Thanks Thunk! Zur equips the spear as he is raised up towards the closest spider and attacks with the pointy end.. @rolld20
sleepy dice,..lets roll! @rolld20
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.
You rolled a 20.
Misses with his very first spear attempt,..undischarged Zur raises up the spear for a second attempt! @rolld20
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.
You rolled a 11.
A spider shoots web on happyme
@rolld20
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.
You rolled a 9.
Happy is webbed.
A spider shoots a web at Pandora
@rolld20
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.
You rolled a 7.
Pandora is webbed.
I will not be able to post for the next 2-3 days unfortunately! I think this conflict is almost over though, so maybe Pandora can just happily tag along off-screen until after this weekend?
Sounds good.
With my level up I’m going to add the skill heal and add a point to mind.
@rollthedice
Shake shake shake, you roll the 6-sided die.
