OOC - Out Of Character

lol, looks like things aren't going your way, Alex. everyone conscious on the battlefield is trying to get to Alterith and leaving you to suffer his fate, lol. Here's hoping that the pirates don't suddenly decide that utterly destroying a clumsy, weak, innocent-looking girl is a perfect way to increase their pirate e-peen.

haha, no problem. with all the potential AoO rolls, I could definitely see it being overlooked. as an aside - I will always post my standard attack rolls first. any potential AoO will be posted after that.

I thought I mentioned I wanted to stop at U9, not V9. The idea was perhaps to engage in melee while trying to leave somewhat of a path for Mystia to get to Alterith (40ft = Mystia's double move).

two questions:

1) i take 5 damage, putting me at 0. then i attack... does this put me at -1 and unconscious?

2) is the left lieutenant actually dead?

I made the correction, Zadok. Sorry about that. Yes, Alex, you are correct, Krytox is now at -1. As far as he could tell, the left lieutenant appears dead. If closer inspection is to be made, I would ask for either a Spot check or a Sense Motive check (if Krytox thinks the left lieutenant is feigning death), but not both.

ok, cool. just clarifying the flavor text. thanks for the answers!

No worries dude. I appreciate in general you guys asking for clarifications, and keeping me informed about issues - I mean, we've already avoided a lot of unnecessary pain, like my mis-reading people's movement, and even forgetting attacks! Only human, I guess.

hey david...... if i remember correctly, you are a cleric. don't you have healing spells?

If I remember correctly, using any heal spell (even for 1 hp) includes an automatic stabalize.

if I remember correctly... i just died. again. for the third time. note to self: don't be reckless. haha, except this time it was because i was the only meat tank.

If I remember correctly, spontaneous casting of heal spells is a full-round action. I'd rather stabilize Alterith with the Heal check, because he's already at -10 hp...getting him to -9 isn't going to matter all that much in the long run, because he's still unconscious regardless, and gets 1 check per hour to regain consciousness...during which time he's helpless, and correct me if I'm wrong, can't drink potions to regain health. SRD doesn't do a good job of explaining if I can help him regain consciousness. Seems like that's up to him.

@Andrew: yeah, I am a cleric, and I do have heal spells. As for where they went, you can go talk to this centaur next to me, and the lizardman who just died. Oh wait, I guess you can't talk to him. On second thought, just get your butt over here and we'll work out the details later.

@Zadok: yeah, dying characters get stabilized by either heal, cure, or rolling 10% on a stabilize check

@Alex: So this is how you repay my kindness...I will have to be more reserved about handling my spells around you...xD

@Ben: Well, you see...Mystia was too busy stripping to notice those cure potions. I'll edit and do a spot check, I guess. Jerry can decide if I see them this round or the next.

nice . i'm just glad there were a few other lizard folk allies around... if there hadn't been other targets i'd have been down pretty quick. of course, Krytox feels bad about losing so many of his bretheren... hopefully they're able to finish off the other lieutenant...

bah...npc's are expendable :D

As Rasa sees it, everyone but you is expendable.

I'll be at a retreat until Sunday evening.

Alex: three of us are expended already, lol.

welcome to the land of the dead, pop: 3 PCs!

so speaking of awesomeness. we have a giant pirate coming our way soon i'm sure, a dwarf who seems to be handling squin well, and a pirate captain who could still cause us trouble. on top of that, we have a total of 13 combined HP between the two survivors. I think we're in really really bad shape. that's just me.

maybe some of the lizardfolk allies have healing potions? one can hope....

Alterith apparently has some....... but i'm nowhere in range to notice.

hahaha, dammit. I thought I had stabilized... but then I realized I did rand-20... *sigh*

let's try that again.

edit: SH!TE so close! stupid extra 1.......

meh, you've got like Negative alot to go before you die. I'm not worried. maybe squin will if he isn't dropped, or maybe alterith will after i revive him.

i'm not worried about actually dying so much. it just would've used less of our resources had i been able to stabilize at -3 instead of -11 or something. at least there are only 2 enemies left... and each has already taken damage. not sure if enlarge person (or whatever the spell used on the minion) grants extra Con or HP, but I think you had damaged him fairly decently.

I thought when you stabilized your hp went to 0 automatically?

I don't know if that's the case, but if i remember correctly, a cure whatever potion or spell automatically brings a character to a minimum of 0 hp. so if you have -10 HP, the most effective way to cure you is to cast a cure minor wounds, heal 1 hp, which brings you to 0, and then cast a more effective cure spell. I think that's how it works....
