Re: Re: Runes of Greldathriaxx: Turn 27: Timing
Okay, so mummies are climbing over the ledge to drop down on our heads, the kobolds are preparing to blast the door open, we're down a fighter, we're badly outnumbered, and the GM is openly suggesting retreat. Also, I've only got enough mana left for one healing spell.
A tactical withdrawal to the previous room does indeed seem in order. I'll do that. (SaruSama, that is what you're saying, too, right?)

"Do we have anything to set the mummies on fire? I heard they don't like that." Fights suggests, agreeing on retreating one room. "We should fall back for now. I don't want the roof and more enemies fall on us while we are in the middle of a fight with what is behind that door."

Alright, well - let's retreat then.
Leaps will retreat with the others, and activate his Danger Sense on the way.

TURN 28: Retreat
The goblins retreat back to the room where they found the rats and spider. Back behind them, the timer on the small rune lock is at 337. The other timer is untouched.
They hear an explosive sound; D'vixx has blasted the door to smithereens and two mummies are seen shambling forward with the kobolds right behind them; Fights slams the door and holds it shut to hold them off for a minute. I was not going to mention this "idea" in the Situation unless one of you rolled triples on a d6+d7+d8 roll earlier, but frankly you need some help.
TURN 28: The Situation
Crushes is Magic Charged! The next three spells (not the Stick of Darts) he casts will have double effect and cost half normal.
Leaps and Knives get a Fate Point on Turn 30
Other Heroes get a Fate Point on Turn 35

Crushes definitely won't lure the mummies into the sewers. He will go back where the switches are located.

I actually recommend we retreat into the sewers, which Aegis has heavily hinted at being the right way.

"Let's go back to the platforms. They cannot climb up all at once and not shoot us from below. We should not set anything on fire, we might smoke poisoning. The dungeon has only a limited air supply and no good ventilation."
Fight says and climbs up to one of the platforms after he used the trigger plate as a door wedge to keep it shut. If that does not work he will say "those who can climb quickest should hold it as long as they can, then follow us." before he goes.

From what I understand Aegis hinted us that one of us will draw the mummies to the sewers and than we set them on fire.Alaen wrote:

Re: Runes of Greldathriaxx: Turn 27: Timing
There is no "right" way. I thought my warning early on (someone hearing lots of barking / a frat party almost) would have made you think twice about opening the door to D'Vixx's room, though. Don't wanna end up sandwiched if you enter another Lair...Alaen wrote:Knives will retreat to the rope room.

Re: Re: Runes of Greldathriaxx: Turn 27: Timing
Brain scrambled. Requesting autopilot. Still not sure about the Pit of Scary Things (that seemed much more intimidating than a little growling to me, and I expect we'll find monsters wherever we go), but I'll stick with the group. Probably of most use as a defensive melee fighter right now.
ETA: We have no idea how deep it is, what's down there, or how we can get back out, and we're about to set it on fire. And the plan is to have at least one of us jump in? Is that right?
ETA 2: I give Risks my orange. "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this."

Re: Re: Runes of Greldathriaxx: Turn 29: Planning
I'm still not clear on the plan. Drop mummies, set fire I get, but the details are very fuzzy.
OTOH, it's 6.5 hours past when I was supposed to be in bed (family function today), and I'm out of sorts. Tomorrow will almost certainly suck. So I'm putting Al on auto. You guys figure out what needs to be done. Al will follow along.

Re: Runes of Greldathriaxx: Turn 29: Planning
So I've rethought jumping into the sewer maybe we should just hide on the other end and wait for the mummys/kobods to get closer shooting them the whole way. Than when they get closer we try and shove them down/hope the mummys cant make the jump. Than when a few mummys are down there we can toss a torch down there and light it up. With that idea I'll stay on the edge over there and attempt to shove whoever jumps across right when they do. (Although with the mechanics someone with a better piety might be better at it.)

Re: Runes of Greldathriaxx: Turn 29: Planning
Also Al you could go and get the torch ready since you're our healer and we can't risk you near the front. Unless someone has some better ideas.

Re: Re: Runes of Greldathriaxx: Turn 29: Planning
You want a stealther to get the torch, that's either Leaps or Knives. There are six kobolds and six mummies, plus the three casters, between you and the torch.
Also, it seems only one or two people have posted actions... where is everyone?

"Try to set them on fire, I will back you up." Fights says and levels up. If the mummies get close to the fire pit, he will knock it over so the fire falls onto the ground where they stand. If somebody else does it, he will shield the first person just in case the goblins shoot again.

Still waiting on some action from Leaps or Knives; this plan won't work without at least one stealther acting soonish... if I get no repsonse by tomorrow morning I'll advance the turn without 'em.

How difficult would it be to stealth around them? Because I'm thinking it's too dangerous.

Re: Re: Runes of Greldathriaxx: Turn 29: Planning
I have no idea what we're trying to do and I'm ill, so Leaps will just do what people want him to do. I read the Stealth skill as that you were invisible if you stayed still, so I wasn't planning on trying to move past enemies that way, but whatever.

Re: Re: Runes of Greldathriaxx: Turn 29: Planning
Ok, so Leaps and Al are -both- on AI... I'll have the next post up tomorrow. Yes, you stay stealthed as long you stay still, but I'm bending things in this case so as long as you move slowly and they don't turn to look at the walls you should be able to sneak by them.
Alaen: It probably IS too dangerous, but at this point they'll either chase you into the sewers (where it's honestly not as dangerous as it's been made out to believe...) or out of the dungeon and the adventure will be a loss. Maybe if you'd bum rushed into the room and nailed D'vixx first... but now that the mummies are animated...

Re: Re: Runes of Greldathriaxx: Turn 29: Planning
just a question to evaluate our chances better: How many goblins/mummies and so on did we kill, and how many are left? I am unsure about it.
