parody Posted March 12 Clone Share Posted March 12 So it seems like they intend to trap us inside and shoot fish in a barrel. Ideas? Can we stoneshape the opening where it isn't a barrel? Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegang Posted March 12 Clone Share Posted March 12 The invisibility purge will last for 16 minutes. Do you think they will just try to wait us out? What of the defense that Kendrick set up? Did Krekie just penetrate it, or did she just not reach it? Remember, they have very little idea of the interior of the cave, as Krekie only got to the entrance. BTW - did anyone explore the cave to determine if there was another entrance? Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycar Posted March 12 Clone Share Posted March 12 Should Edmund take a shot with his crossbow or remain hidden? Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerBoy Posted March 12 Author Clone Share Posted March 12 Which trap are you referring to? Krekie isn’t in the cave. somewhere here there was a discussion about sealing the cave. On my phone now so can’t find it but we determined the cave mouth is too big. keep in mind that while Stone Shape is a great utility spell, it affects 25 cubic feet, which is roughly a 3-foot cube, or 1 meter by 1 meter by 1 meter. It actually impacts a very very small amount. compare that with my all-time favorite 2e spell, Dig, which was 4th level and lasted 1 round/level and affected 125 cubic feet per round. In comparison, Stone Shape isn’t that great. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesloth Posted March 12 Clone Share Posted March 12 Yeah, I posted a couple ideas for sealing the cave (too big) and trying to make a second tunnel to sneak out of (too many unknowns). For the time being I like letting them exhaust their spell supply while we wait. @Lycar if you have better than a +12 to hit adjusted for all the negatives in the cave I say take the shot.

If we wait a few more turns, Krekie will have several fewer spells from my spell crash. But none of them have entered the trapped area.

DangerBoy Posted March 12 Author Clone Share Posted March 12 This is what Kendrick did: Stone Shape Kendrick can move 26 cubic feet per casting. He has seven castings. I will leave a layer 1/2 an inch thick. He will hollow out a 10x12 area hollowed to depth of one cubic foot above the ceiling stone. The 10 foot side will be centered on the middle of cave entrance and exten 5 feet to either side. That will give us 12 feet of hollowed ceiling extending inti the cavern. I will find a nice heavy rock and hurl it via telekinetics to trigger the trap. Kendrick will have one casting of stone shape left. He will use that to form a chest high pit to provide himself concealment/cover while he waits to hurl the stone. As designed, Kendrick needs to throw a rock (standard action) on his turn to trigger the trap. Also, the Storm of Souls is an instantaneous effect, so I'll take that off of the map. When Kendrick cast it, none of your adversaries were in the area of effect. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerBoy Posted March 12 Author Clone Share Posted March 12 Also, when Aranaias moved to the mouth of the cave, other adversaries came into sight. I've put them on the map. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycar Posted March 12 Clone Share Posted March 12 So then, do we keep playing cat & mouse or should Edmund try to shoot somebody? Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesloth Posted March 12 Clone Share Posted March 12 Until they enter I have no trap to spring. How many bolts do you have? Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycar Posted March 12 Clone Share Posted March 12 4 x 5 /full action reload magazines +20 spare bolts, so 20 ready. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegang Posted March 13 Clone Share Posted March 13 Edmund should probably remove himself from the Cloudkill area of effect when he gets a chance. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegang Posted March 13 Clone Share Posted March 13 (edited) @DangerBoyWhat are the dimensions of the cave entrance? Wall of Flame states:"Effect opaque sheet of flame up to 20 ft. long/level or a ring of fire with a radius of up to 5 ft./two levels." Does the sheet need to be a straight line, or can it be curved?

Just not sure where to go exactly. Edmund needs something to hide behind to use Stealth, he can't just turn invisible after all.
