The Big Battle of Wonder

[someone]

You follow me? Are you a fan? Sorry I don't do autographs.
You can have a close look at my rapier though.

Marty sticks his Rapier into the Goblin and then moves on to N13.

[I'mBob]

Marty attacks the goblins and finishes him with his rapier, the goblin didn't see that coming. (Get it? Because he was blinded by the shield?)
All the goblins were killed!

The kobolds act now. The 2 kobolds on the south of the arena still can't move as they are trapped in the tentacles. The other 2, however attack the dwarf while still prone. They both miss him and both hit the shield. As the first one hits it the shield it seems as nothing happened. But the second shield cause the nameless dwarf look much less appealing. MUCH. LESS. Like if his Charisma score was reduced to 4. Well, that's what just happened.





Nameless turn now.

[Theis2]

The nameless dwarf attacks the wounded kobold while trying to make sure the kobolds don't hit the shield.

I was sure I had checked this thread.. Sorry about the delay.

[Reirrac]

Trollin goes to G-18, he is way too far away from the action.

[I'mBob]

The nameless dwarf attack the injured kobold and an ugly "crunch" sound is heard when his flail hits the kobold's head. He is probably dead now.

Trollin decide to move to where the whole action is, he moves to G18.





It's Grubb turn now.

[Nerre]

Grubb moves to the left as far as possible, away from the advancing halfling and the green tentacles, yelling "Get away from me! You won't get my beard that easy!".
That said, he shoots at Marty.

OOC: Sorry someone, but I created him as a dwarf who doesn't like other races much, he likes to be with his own kind. Did not expect us to be 3 dwarves, so you are the obvious target. :/
I really prefer pve to pvp.

[Reirrac]

► Show Spoiler

We all prefer PVE, that's why we killed all the goblins

[I'mBob]

► Show Spoiler

Don;'t worry, my actual game will be the normal co-op d&d.

Though I should try to make a PvE d&D arena sometime...

[someone]

Hey, no problem, i KNEW this was going to be PvP, and as you might have guessed, i did not approach you for nothing or cuddles ;-)

Of course my actions depend now very much on the outcome of Grubbs turn, but i do some predictions and asumptions.

Grubb moves as far as possible to the left, bringing him on Q6 with standard Dwarfen movement of 20 feet... (move action 20 feet, and the shooting as st. action).

When and if i am right, Marty will charge him and reach him within 7 squares of movement on P7 (which is coincidently the closest space from which i can attack)
(The 20 foot are 4 squares, a diagonal move counts as 1 if it is the first and 2 for second)

Visualization (because i can)




If my guess is right, and if i remember charging rules correct then this should work.

If, of course i am wrong somewhere i will wait for my actions until i see the result of Grubbs turn... and sorry if i am wrong here (wow that is a lot of if's) and please correct me.

Also if everything goes as planned you deserve another war cry whilst charging:

Hickory dickory dock
A dwarf ain't hard like rock
My rapier will hurt him bad,
and dwarf will be sad!
Hickory dickory dock!

[Nerre]

Maybe Grubb is faster than an ordinary dwarf, since he is a ranger. Don't know.

Also I wrote away from the tentacles AND the halfling, not only away from the tentacles. So he also walks left and a little bit down, towards the lower left corner.

[Reirrac]

That would be T-7 or R-6, the halfling still gets to you with his charge.

T-9 would've protected you from that, but there's always the danger to be grabbed by the tentacles (also, it's too late).

[someone]

I'll wait for Word of Bob, where he places Grubb after his movement description and accept whatever he says.
No problem.
But i'd like to state everyone should make clear movement descriptions, that is why we use a battlegrid, I guess.

So, with that out of the way, let's beginn to have fun again and slaughter each other the best we can!

[Nerre]

I did not know how many fields I can move. How large is one?

From the hypertext SRD:

Tactical Movement
How Far Can Your Character Move?

Your speed is determined by your race and your armor (see Table: Tactical Speed). Your speed while unarmored is your base land speed.

Encumbrance
A character encumbered by carrying a large amount of gear, treasure, or fallen comrades may move slower than normal.

Hampered Movement
Difficult terrain, obstacles, or poor visibility can hamper movement.

Movement in Combat
Generally, you can move your speed in a round and still do something (take a move action and a standard action).

If you do nothing but move (that is, if you use both of your actions in a round to move your speed), you can move double your speed.

If you spend the entire round running, you can move quadruple your speed. If you do something that requires a full round you can only take a 5-foot step.

Bonuses to Speed
A barbarian has a +10 foot bonus to his speed (unless heÔÇÖs wearing heavy armor). Experienced monks also have higher speed (unless theyÔÇÖre wearing armor of any sort). In addition, many spells and magic items can affect a characterÔÇÖs speed. Always apply any modifiers to a characterÔÇÖs speed before adjusting the characterÔÇÖs speed based on armor or encumbrance, and remember that multiple bonuses of the same type to a characterÔÇÖs speed donÔÇÖt stack.

Table: Tactical Speed
Race No Armor or Light Armor Medium or Heavy Armor
Human, elf, half-elf, half-orc 30 ft.(6 squares) 20 ft.(4 squares)
Dwarf 20 ft.(4 squares) 20 ft.(4 squares)
Halfling, gnome 20 ft.(4 squares) 15 ft.(3 squares)

Measuring Distance
Diagonals
When measuring distance, the first diagonal counts as 1 square, the second counts as 2 squares, the third counts as 1, the fourth as 2, and so on.

You canÔÇÖt move diagonally past a corner (even by taking a 5-foot step). You can move diagonally past a creature, even an opponent.

You can also move diagonally past other impassable obstacles, such as pits.

Each of you have a color with a letter on it, the letter is the first of your character letter name. Each square is 5 feats. The X is the nameless dwarf. Each of you can make your own rolls but only if you invisible castle them, otherwise I will make them. Shield of wonder rolls are always rolled by me. Light green is goblins and reddish is kobolds.

Tl;dr:
So, as dwarf you have normally a movement of 20feet or 4 squares unless you are a 3rd lvl monk or 1st lvl barbarian, then it would be 30feet or 6 squares.
If you move diagonally every 2nd diagonal square counts as 2 squares.
Hope that helps.

[Nerre]

thanks. So it is 4 or 3 squares, depending how much I move on diagonals.

[someone]

basically, yes.

[Nerre]

I am on holidays for this weekend, only half there for monday and on holidays again for thuesday+wednesday. So don't wonder if I won't respond. Just put me on a non-suicide automode, trying to escape and fight back.

[I'mBob]

Grubb moves to the south west and releases a bolt on Marty, he misses Marty and does not hit the shield.

Marty at return charges at Grubb and stabs him with his rapier, he stabs it inside Grubb's arms and deals 9 damage.

The Kobold who can still act misses the nameless dwarf and his shield. So sad.





It's now Nameless turn.

► Show Spoiler

Nice crit again, Marty. Also I feel like putting this smiley: at this point of the game.

[Theis2]

The nameless dwarf moves 20 ft to the left (B7) and cast summon monster I on C12

[Reirrac]

Trollin moves to D-15, switching his axe for a spear. He then throws the spear on the... thing... that have just been summoned.

► Show Spoiler

You should precise what you are summoning, you have numerous choices

[Theis2]

► Show Spoiler

I know, but the nature of the shield is random so my spells might as well be random when they can be

[I'mBob]

The nameless dwarf uses magic to spawn a fiendish rat. The rat attacks the kobold and kills it off.

Trollin was a good friend of that kobold so he decides to kill the rat who did this. He throws a spear at it and hits the poor rat, killing it.





Now moving to Grubb.

[Nerre]

Grubb does a tackle attack at Marty, trying to push/throw him into the green stuff in S9. If it works and he got time he steps out of his melee range, maybe even shoots at him.

[someone]

► Show Spoiler

Woah, where did you get 2 full rounds? Move, bull rush (i guess), move and attack?

[someone]

Sorry for Double posting but i am not here for a long weekend .
Just to let you know , if this starts again .

Nerre/Grubb you might want to refine your action perhaps?
Word of the GM would be nice too.
