Nothing now. The more powerful equipment will have to be a special order, like Gurk's armor.

[deathxherald]

First game i will be in is coming soon. I can't wait. I will need to know what to do with hamachi and maptool, if someone doesn't mind showing me.

[RAM]

The Hamachi group is "Bay12Mercs" and I don't recall a password. You need the right version of maptools, I think we are on b76 but it may be b70. Hamachi will provide you with Emperor Shonus' hamachi IP address which you can feed into a direct connect from maptools, that IP address and the port "12345" should be enough information for a direct connect. Please elaborate further upon your progress for further assistance.

[deathxherald]

Ight, I will post again later when I get it going and tell the specifics.

Hamachi will provide you with Emperor Shonus' hamachi IP address which you can feed into a direct connect from maptools, that IP address and the port "12345" should be enough information for a direct connect.

Alternately, MapTool should recognise Shonus as being on your LAN (as this is what Hamachi simulates, LANs across the internet) and hence the MapTool server should be visible in the LAN tab.

I am interested... But I've read through a decent amount of the pages... And I got thoroughly confused at the happenings of this whole ordeal. May I get the skinny, because I saw level five chars, then level ten, and of the rules involved...  My mind blanked.

...I'm not useless! If it helps, I know 3.5 inside and out, since I obsess over it constantly >_>

A random angel advanced us 4 levels. We are trying to find work in one nation but have a contract from another nation to infiltrate this nation so that we can betray them if war breaks out. We know the location of what is probably an epic level dragon encounter. The local monarch was recently assassinated by what appear to be mercenaries working for cultists and the aristocracy are trying to remove one another.

We recently added a certain vampire to our list of people who need extra killing...

Well, the game is scheduled for tomorrow, so if it gets running on time...

I'll still be at work or just leaving.

Since we were in the middle of combat, I'd just like to outline what I want to be doing for the next couple of rounds until I get home and can log in.

Since the last round I cast Telekinesis (CL 9) and grappled one of the flying things we are fighting, I will continue to grapple that one until I manage to cause it to fall from the sky.
http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/telekinesis.htm
Combat maneuver mode, Range 760 feet, duration 9 rounds, and making grapple checks at +18 (9 caster level +9 int bonus)

I'll be focusing on making whichever enemy is closest to me personally at any the time that it is my turn. (or on whichever I am currently grappling if it isn't falling out of the sky yet.)

Ideally, we run and I make them fall from the sky- they should fall 150 feet then 300 feet per round on subsequent rounds, so I should be able to keep one pinned for three rounds of falling. (really, it depends on how easily they can make the DC20 reflex save to recover and just how far above the ground we are.)

Even if they recover on their next turn, it should take them a couple of turns to climb enough to be in range to attack us again, so if I can drop one a turn and we scoot for the horizon, we should be be to outrun and escape if our eagles are faster than them. (or at least get them separated enough we can deal with one at a time.)

--edit--

also, apparently, I might have done "damage as if with an unarmed strike" when I successfully initiated the grapple.  I'm not sure if that means a bare 1d3 or if I get to use my intelligence modifier for bonus damage (which would be 1d3+9), or if I don't actually get to deal damage(though that last is also unlikely) because the spell description isn't explicit in that regard. looking for something that says one way through google.

and the bird thing I have grappled now will be allowed to make a grapple check opposed to mine to attempt to move half it's speed (and if it fails to move half it's speed and has average or worse maneuverability?... plummet!)

[deathxherald]

What time is this thing starting today? I just wanna make sure.

[Lord Shonus]

Usually, 9 PM EST. However, due to unusual circumstances, I was considering going to 6:00 PM. (7 hours from now.)

[Shoruke]

Sorry can't play today
University crunch time
Java, ugh
verbositude edit later

[deathxherald]

6 Est sounds good to me, since i live on the east coast and all. 9 is fine as well, if you decide to keep it the same. How long do games normally run?

[Pillow_Killer]

Yeah, 6 is great. 9 is 5 AM. Guess I better take a nap now.

[Reese]

*shrug*

You got my battle plan, if you start earlier it just means someone else controls Derrek for longer.

And I believe I have a third Telekinesis memorized if the current casting wears off before we finish the encounter (and a casting of polymorph, too- I was thinking a Manticore might be appropriate; its fly speed is not that great, but it can use tail spikes for 6 spike attacks four times, and can speak common, so maybe I would be capable of casting spells while in that form, at least spells without material components... like Telekinesis!  )

[Shoruke]

This is the verbositude update...

the game is at 5:00 local time. I promised myself I'd get at least 3 hours of java programming done today, and my last class ended at 2:30, and it takes me 45 minutes to get home, plus I'll have to eat supper.

So I'll be late. Hour and a half, two hours, somewhere theresabouts.
