Swordfight? No, Carver wrestles.

... Now I want to make a monk/paladin multiclass character, give him all feats in wrestling, and RP him as a luchadore.

"You're a paladin, right? You're supposed to be all about honor."

"YES. THE HONORRRR OF THE MASK."

Maybe combat should be done in a collaborative way, like everyone in a fight gets in a pm group and the fight gets done in one big post. That way no one gets their turn skipped for timezone reasons. Once everyone is happy it gets posted.

So I think I healed Separ twice, Carver twice, himself once. and he has used the fires twice so far.
And he now readies to use a second charge of negative energy.

Immolate 3/5
Enervate 5/10
Animate 9/10
Conduit undiscovered.

Did I miss anything?

Oh my goodness furnace went hardcore

Okay, this is getting stupid. Is anything I do ever going to have any effect, or are random NPCS going to keep teabagging my character until the end of time because the GM says so?

I don't need to be some kind of all-powerful badass who always wins, but during this fight I have landed one effectual attack, while every round they have injured, hit, evaded, or generally humiliated Carver. I don't want to that whiny 'It's not faiiiir' guy, but... come on.

Like... I don't even want to do anything now. Whatever my next move is, I know the result is going to be 'Bill effortlessly avoids this and taunts Carver's pitiful failure'.

@TheWizardLizard I understand the frustration but Carver is slow, un-sturdy if restrained, and doesn't have much attack force. What he has is high health and a high defense that can only be beaten by a large amount of force, like a flail. If it was anyone else who got it by that flail, especially twice, they would be dead. Since he was restrained, it was easy to knock him off his feet. Look, I know it doesn't seem fair but you are playing the part of a tank and because of that you are typically viewed as the biggest threat and will be attacked mercilessly. You've taken all the hits and have left a weak opponent with no weapon that your allies can easily finish off. Tanks typically have trouble against a single strong opponent but thanks to tanks that one opponent will be severely weakened. Trust me, things will get easier and I am rolling for every move everyone makes as well as the NPC's. And I am sorry that you feel cheated and I apologize if anyone else feels this way but I am simply trying my best to be fair by giving everyone an equal chance, the dice just seem to hate you. This is my personal apology to you and to make you it up to you I will give your character a boost in the next fight that way even if the dice hate you, you will have a chance to kick ass. I have already come up for a reason for you to have this boost too. Divine intervention maybe?

@TheWizardLizard You know what, I'll provide the boost now. I don't want you to feel cheated in any fight, so I'll provide the one thing that Carver has that no one else on this team does.

@Spoopy Scary Woops, kind of ninja'd you there

Are we able to retreat back to where the others are, or are the impending reinforcements separating the group?

@Spoopy Scary Reinforcements are 18 minutes away but heading towards you, the others are 7 minutes away but are heading away from you. So unless the group changed direction, you would reach them at about the same time the reinforcements reached them.

And Alula is off in the void or something

Arastoph: "Finish it quickly so we can get out of here ASAP."

Separ: "Let's talk about our feelings."

Arastoph: "Finish it quickly so we can get out of here ASAP."

Separ: "Let's talk about our feelings."

But a man's honor and pride are sacred. A paladin without honor or pride is like spaghetti without any pasta. In other words, its just a hunk of meat and sauce, or in this case blood.

Oh. Well. I guess that answers the question of 'is the sun an actual divinity'. :P

And, @Kronshi thank you for the acknowledgement. I'd like to reiterate than I'm not asking for preferential treatment or anything, and I understand that that was a pretty bad engagement for Carver to be in, and he was going to come away at best mangled or maybe not at all without help. It was just that after the third consecutive 'your actions have no effect on Bill. You are hit/wrapped in chains/ fall to the ground, writhing pathetically', it sort of crossed the line in my mind from 'Well, this is a tough fight and I guess I'm having bad luck with the rolls, it's to be expected' to 'My character is being abjectly, utterly humiliated, and anything I do to try and stop it is just going to give Bill another turn to pummel and taunt me'. It was a little... frustrating, but, I understand you're trying to be fair, and I do thank you for your consideration. I've played with a lot of GMs who would have responded to that sort of complaint with 'Oh, yeah? Well, Bill picks you up and pile-drives you. You take 3d10 damage. Roll to see how pathetically you weep for your mother', so... thanks for listening.

I'll get an IC post typed up shortly. Probably time the more lucid members of the party got an escape plan together, Carver's got his smitin' boots on.

I'm glad both Alula and Carver have nice lady voices who talk to them.

Capitalism is the only woman Arastoph needs.

I'm glad both Alula and Carver have nice lady voices who talk to them.

I wonder if Alula's, Carver's, and Furnace's voices ever get together? Have tea, talk about things?

Or maybe it's more like a celestial Superbowl party, and they all go over to one person's house to watch what we're all doing.
