Who are we waiting for, by the way? the MARC had his round 2 action already, as had Doyle. That leaves a few others... I'm going to post the dires after Torgthen, as before.

Oh okay, I would have posted sooner but you mentioned readied actions.

[Omen of Peace]

Ah, ok, if it's close range then it doesn't matter. I was saying that it might be cowering even before you prevented flight due to fear effect stacking (4 stages: shaken, frightened, panicked, cowering) - but the relevant rule is in the RC. I'll double-check tonight.

[Brainpiercing]

Ok, well, maybe it was cowering before, I'm not too firm on fear rules. Anyway, what's done is done, it's grappled and not going anywhere.

[Sohala]

was that a natural 20 confirmed with a natural 20?

Yes.

[Thistledown Thurbertaut]

Ok, well, maybe it was cowering before, I'm not too firm on fear rules. Anyway, what's done is done, it's grappled and not going anywhere.

AND it's weakend, entangled, and on FIRE!!! 

Hit that shit with the nerf bat...

It'll be on fire next round, if you stick with your action, which might happen soon. Who hasn't posted? Daelric? Anyone else?

By the way I'm happy that at least one ridiculously powerful melee guy of yours has been clobbered pretty good. I needed to do that so that I could prove to myself that I didn't let you become too powerful .

[Sohala]

Oh please...he has more defense than power.

[Brainpiercing]

Yes, lots of defense, but then your offense isn't that bad, either. Your to hit bonus, for instance, is on par with what Agnak's used to be. You don't quite have his hitting power, but still...

Anyway...

I have to apologise to raith, a bit. Apparently I didn't spend enough time with him hashing out the details of his character. I thought his concept would just work, but I'm not so sure, now. We'll see...

[Omen of Peace]

I just didn't want Isul to "waste" his action due to me, but it's no big deal and I shouldn't have bothered everyone with it.

@TT: hmm, if the Marc is an object that opens interesting possibilities. Mael might try to Shrink him just to have his pocket animated toy.

[Omen of Peace]

@TT: the point of Mael's suggestion was to get you to consider another course of action. You posted you actions 1 round in advance so I'm sure you'd be allowed to change them. Entangling the bulette isn't going to do much at this point, while entangling the lion would be quite helpful for instance.

[Snizor]

What's the current position of the surviving dire lion chimera?

[Brainpiercing]

You can always see the updated maps on the links I posted.

Missed the most recent link copy of the map(the one in the post starting round two. Was looking at a previous link of the map). Sorry about that.

However...

The other dire lion Chimera blindly flew a few feet forward, out of the fish swarm, and then turned towards the sounds of the ongoing battle.

The map still shows dire 1 in the same spot he was before.
edit: Torgthen's 5-ft step to Q-43 is also not on the map.

[Brainpiercing]

Wait, I thought I had updated that, let me check..

Ok, I know what happened: I saved the excel sheet quickly, but forgot to print it again. Sorry.

Also, I'm missing some moves on the top, will update that and then print the sheet again as a pdf. The link will stay the same.

[raith0]

dont worry about my character its going to be a bit of a late bloomer for just stupid damage out put i am a level away from third level spells and arcane strike with the next feat choice.  mostly due to wanting flight and extra spell like abilities with the fey template.  i know this isnt a fast advancing campaign but it should all come together.  even more so when i am quicken true strikes before ever attack for more power attack fun as well.  sorry if i seem a little behind the curve at the moment i think it should work out well enough in the end.  and if it doesnt i wouldnt be against a more traditional gish build in the place of the duskblade if retraining has to be taken into account

[Sohala]

You do realize that for all the visual effect I give him, one swing of yours does more damage than most of Cat's full attacks... just saying

Dwarf characters can't jump. 

He does have a few more HP left than you. Also, AFAIK you've posted for round 4 there, right?

Yeah, round four, didn't know if we were on it or not.

[Omen of Peace]

@Sohala: ah, that rule... I hear it existed in... ADD, maybe? Never played it.
Also, how do you get Fast Healing with melds? I don't recall seeing one that does that.

@BP: your DM ruling on cowering is noted. How do you rule regarding the duration of fear effects? The SRD is silent, the RC says that the worst condition lasts for the duration of the longest effect. This one I care slightly more about.
As for resolving panicked vs cowering, the cowering entry clearly takes precedence.

@TT: with that nomenclature almost all of our PCs are Wastes of Space, so I'd say the nomenclature is too constrained.

[Sohala]

Equipment is granting the fast healing, the melds are just increase its effect.

[Omen of Peace]

Huh huh, I think I see what you did. 
I didn't know this custom item was allowed - it's yet another that "everybody should have".
(Please understand that I am not complaining - my PC has the cheesiest feat of them all, after all.  )

[Sohala]

is everything imobile or grappled at the moment before i post another turn or is one of the lesser chimeras still up and fighting?
i thought we had one left to deal with but it seems i may be wrong by some of the posts

Big one is grapple feared etc, the last lesser is presently blind and 10ft in the air (out of dwarf smacking range!).
