[OOC] Ruins of Norn: Walking Apocalypse

[Flood]

@Lucius Cypher

Should I roll for initiative

[Searat]

Cyclopes are bad news. It would be unwise to fight it.

[Duthguy]

I'm here

[Lucius Cypher]

@floodtalon

Only if you intend to fight it. Right now I’d say you, like the rest of the party, haven’t been noticed butt you should roll a stealth if you’re going to do anything more complex than moving around, and even then that might need a Roll too.

[Riaxh]

maybe we could distract it with tasty illusions and sneak past? idk.

[Tangletail]

I do have illusion spells. Could also lead em to the the Trogdolytes.

@Tangletail

Save your spell slots. Angus has this covered.

@rush99999

It's a cantrip :P But it is all you.

[Lucius Cypher]

I’ll leave it to y’all what you’d wanna do.

[Searat]

Cantrip illusion sounds good.

@Lucius Cypher

Would I need to roll stealth to reach another part of the rooftops? Also, how close is the cyclops?

[Lucius Cypher]

@rush99999 Moving around the rooftop you're at you should be fine so long as you're not doing anything too obvious, however if you're moving to a different ruin then yes, with a new acrobatics or athletics since you're trying to preform this maneuver with more difficulty than before.

As for the cyclopse's distance, you're currently thirty feet above the ground and the cyclopes is crouched near the ground making him roughly twenty feet tall, however he would be taller if he stood up. So from the edge of the rooftop to the top of the cyclopes is about ten feet give or take.

[rush99999]

@Lucius Cypher

Is there anywhere Angus can go that puts him within 60 to 90 feet of the Cyclops that still gives him a clear shot with a ranged attack?

[Lucius Cypher]

@rush99999

None that you can access via roof hopping. Only the orc's hideout and the immediate buildings next to the ruins you're on will give you the benefit of highground/cover, and that's within 30 feet. Anything further than that and you'll have to climb down the ruins and at best hide behind a corner. But even that's only going to be about 40 feet away.

[rush99999]

@Lucius Cypher

Ok then. One last question. Would a 12 escape the cyclopes' notice, would a 22 get Angus the rooftops opposite the party, and would another 22 hit the cyclopes?

[Lucius Cypher]

@rush99999

Before I confirm anything, I just want to let you know that you are committing to these rolls: I fully expect you to be using them immediately, not holding your rolls until the situation changes or for your to discuss with the rest of your party. Because once I give you an answer I can guarantee you that it will start combat immediately before anyone else will get to react. With that in mind, will you still continue to act?

[rush99999]

@Lucius Cypher

I've decided I won't go ahead with my idea just yet.

[Searat]

@rush99999
I think Lilt/Roy should be the one doing the distraction considering we are the most dexterous in the whole party.

[rush99999]

@Searat

I've already made the necessary rolls. And while I might have rolled a 12 on one the other two were both 22s. If you think you could do better feel free to have Roy offer to run the distraction in Angus' stead. If not, have him find somewhere to hide and kick back until the cyclopes is sufficiently distracted.

[Searat]

If things go badly, I just don't want you facing a cyclops alone while the rest of the party is a good distance away.
