(( Just 1 will work for now, remind me later on to ask for a piece of the rope to tie the 2 bags together.

And also, if it comes to a fight taking a metal pot to the head is gonna hurt. ))

[wolfchild]

Gayle steps back a little and readies to cast an arcane bolt if the creature proves hostile

[NRDL]

"Grrr...."

Nixor gets into a fighting stance, at the front of the group.

[scapheap]

"What is it?" Clair asks, putting the glowing plank down the back of her tunic so she could pull out her bow.

The group prepares themselves for potential hostilities, and from the darkness emerges five blob-like creatures composed of what appears to be some sort of translucent green slime. Contained within each of these blobs is what looks to be a much darker, spherical mass, that almost appears to be pulling the masses of ooze along the floor from within.

They're surprisingly quick, and make a bee-line for the source of light.


So, to explain a bit about combat real quick (As it currently stands. Things will probably get tweaked and such over time.) - Each character has 8 Action Points. You can use these points to move, attack, or cast spells.
The movement isn't snapped to the grid, but it's still measured. (Each square on the grid is 5x5 feet, to give you a way to measure the distances.)
Let's use Bekter's Movement speed as an example here:
[5 ft. per 1, 27 ft. per 4, 65 ft. per 8]
For 1 AP, he can move 5 feet. If he spends 2 points at once, he goes 10 feet, and 3 points, 15 feet.
But if he spends 4 points in a single move action, he gets to go a bit further than he normally would: 27 feet. And if he spends the entire round to run at full speed, he gets to move 65 ft.
Spending 2 points moving, then attacking, then spending 2 more points moving won't let you run 27 feet, it'll just be 20.

Attacking with weapons costs a variable amount of AP depending on the weapon. Two hit two birds with one stone here, we'll look at Clair's Shortbow, which has an Attack Time of "5/3". This means a single attack costs 5 Points, but two attacks can be strung together so that the second only costs 3 and two normal attacks can be fit within one turn. With faster weapons - like with movement costs, performing an action other than attacking breaks the combo.

For spells, the Cast Time just means the AP cost for casting it.

And for abilities, usually they'll cost whatever a normal attack would have at that point unless stated otherwise.

(( Have they seen us yet? ))

[Aninimouse]

(( Well you've got no clue if they've seen you yet, or if they can really actually even see. (You don't see any eyes or anything, but it is dark.).. But they are coming straight towards you, very quickly. So that's probably a good hint that they might. ))

[NRDL]

Nixor waits for those things to come to him.

[Patrick Hunt]

(( Well going by real standards currently they can't see anything other then a light. Going from total darkness to looking into a light blinds you for a short time so I'm gonna move on that basis. ))

Bekter lowers the back he's holding to the ground silently and steps back into the darkness drawing his second dagger and letting his demon blood take control.

Hide in the darkness ( left of his current position on the map. ), use demon blood, if the slime things make a hostile move bekter flanks attacks them from behind with backstab, if they don't he shadows his would be allies quietly collecting the bag on the way.

[wolfchild]

Gayle is going to slink off in the opposite direction of Bekter, then get ready to cast an arcane bolt at one of them

[Lillipad]

"We should hurry up and meet with the others who ran off. I'll go grab the one left on the ship."
Grab Edgar, then leave with Ket to catch up to the idiots who ran off without thinking

[scapheap]

"I see."

Cast two Lesser Thorn Bolts at the one at B9

[Aseaheru]

Look for something to use as a staff then join them.

Clair launches two Lesser Thorn Bolts at the Westmost Slime, striking it twice. (Dealing 16 + 14 Nature Damage.)
It seems relatively unfazed by the attack, though it leaves large globs of slime behind in its trail.

Bekter backs up into the darkness at the mouth of the tunnel, and Gayle slinks off to the right, out of the light.

Nixor stands and waits for the Slimes to reach the party, and that they do, rolling across the cavern floor like little waves, pulled by the dark masses within them.

Edgar

Caboose climbs up the ship to Edgar. The closest thing to a staff that Edgar seems to see are the planks from the ship, and they definitely wouldn't make very good staffs in their current form.

How big is each square in FT?
