Crypt of the Everflame - OOC

What language are they speaking, Tick? Initiative+1

Rolled 1d20+1 : 3 + 1, total 4

[Rakeesh]

Was hoping to throw a bomb at `em while they were all together like a boss. *sigh*

Normally I'd do a map, but let's wing it theater of the mind style for this, as it's pretty basic.  The Orcs are about 60ft in front of you, with a fairly large tree trunk behind them across the road.  The ground is fairly open for about 10ft beyond the road itself, so 30ft or so total, which then gives way to dense forest/underbrush (consider it difficult terrain, movement costs doubled).

Rakeesh, they are speaking the common tongue, but you'd get the gist of the vulgarities just from the tone and rude gestures. ;)

Probably should have mentioned I'd consider trying to be stealthy, but I'm happy that I get to kill things.

I'll switch Ride for Knowledge Geography on my sheet shortly.

Time to kick some ass!

Initiative 1d20+8 : 1 + 8, total 9

[Lotofsnow]

Just getting the ones out of the way now.

Sorry for all the conditionals and such, Tick. I just figured especially at the (very likely) bottom of the initiative I should have a couple of options already prepared so there isn't a bottleneck waiting for Kirdo.

In my experience it is usually best to just wait until the people ahead of you post their turns due to how things can change throughout the round. Sucks to have to wait, but that's the nature of the beast (i.e. play by post).

Edit: All though 2 crits in a row is always fun.

[Rakeesh]

Makes me wish I hadn't specified waiting until they were in one range increment, that's for sure.

[TheTick]

Going to move things along today, some time.

Dariel is first up, however, Diplomacy is by rule "generally ineffective" against creatures who mean you harm in the immediate future, in combat.  It's fine if you still want to give it a try, especially if it fits your character's personality.

Initiative order:
Dariel 22
Orc 1  17
Orc 2  13
Orc 3  10
Maura 9
Sandy 8
Kirdo  4

[Scott R]

Go get 'em, Dariel!

[Rakeesh]

It just occurred to me that maybe a Spot or Listen check might have been worthwhile! We'll see-or not. Maybe Hauler has good ears;)

[Nighthawk]

I'm assuming they're still at range, so OK then... :)

ETA: Well that went well...  :o

[Scott R]

Maybe it'll be a minion.
