[OOC] Ruins of Norn: Walking Apocalypse

@Lucius Cypher

It's 14 when rolling with advantage. What caused the advantage though?

[Lucius Cypher]

@rush99999

If you rolled high enough for your nature you would know. But a 14 does hit, roll damage and please specify which trog you're aiming for just so I have an idea of how the flow of battle will proceed.

[rush99999]

@Lucius Cypher

I rolled a 6 for damage. It'll hit the troglodyte closest to Angus.

[Searat]

@Lucius Cypher
Are the trogs deeper inside of the ruins close to Roy's position?

[Duthguy]

@Lucius Cypher I rolled twice due to assuming I also have advantage.

18 and 10

[Lucius Cypher]

@Searat

You’d need to roll me a perception since atm that’s not immediately obvious.

@Duthguy

Hits, roll damage.

Also just for the sake of making this easier for everyone, if you’re rolling for an attack go ahead and roll for your damage too unless you roll like, a Nat 1 or something.

[Duthguy]

@Lucius Cypher Okay that's 8 damage

[Riaxh]

Posted. By the way, we using normal xp or milestone levelling?

[Searat]

That's not very reassuring to hear. Id just rather take my chances with Roy revealing himself to the others than wait for a group of trogs to ambush him. Ill try to get a post up after work.

@rush99999@Searat@Riaxh@Duthguy

Poated again, and since we seem to be doing combat, I do need everyone to roll me initiative. Though I believe Riaxh already has so I'll take that into account too. In any case let me describe the battlefield for you;

initially, everyone was about 60 feet away from the dead creature the trogs were eating. Angus and Raugar can get their javelin attacks off fine since presumably they approach within effective range and then throw them, however for Thokk moving and dashing would take up your action (Since it'll take 60 feet of movement to even get to them), so you can't attack. The Trogs used a disengage action to avoid being attacked as they go and climb onto the temple, which is roughly 20 away from the dead sea creature, and they appear to be taking cover behind the various stoneworks. The storm is fast approaching and it will arrive after the next turn. When the trogs arrive, I'll figure out when I roll it.

Also for the most part, EXP is on a milestone basis. Specifically, I'll allow a level up when I feel that you have done something significantly important enough to justify leveling up. Killing a whole nest of CR 1/4 goblins won't really do it unless there were like, hundreds of them, but taking on an troll 1v1 might be enough. This is mainly to encourage you guys to go out and find greater challenges, rather than to just farm trash mobs and expect to learn something from it.

@Lucius Cypher

You said the storm would arrive in a few minutes in your previous post, but in your current post we only have a few seconds?

Also, what's the distance between Angus and the temple?

[Lucius Cypher]

@rush99999

About 50 feet. Also the bulk of the storm would hit the temple in a few minutes, but in a few seconds you'll get stuff like rain and cloud cover. But then again, Norn has never been nice to anyone here. One shouldn't be surprised at unexpected hostile weather raining on your parade.

[rush99999]

@Lucius Cypher

KK.

Also, my initiative roll is 10.

[Duthguy]

@Lucius Cypher

My initiative is 17

[Riaxh]

cool. So do you want us to post in initiative order for the rest of the fight or shall we just go whenever?

Also dang these guys are smart for trogs. How many have cover and what level of cover do they have?

[Lucius Cypher]

You will need to be posting in iniative order, and of the five trogs, four have half cover and one has 3/4 cover.]

[rush99999]

@Lucius Cypher

Would I be correct in assuming Angus is 30 feet away from the dead troglodyte?

Also, how large is the miasma?

[Lucius Cypher]

Yeah you’re about 30 feet, and the miasma creates a 10 foot circle around the corpse. Basically if you’re right next to the body you’ll get caught in it.

[Searat]

Roy is obviously last coming into battle with a 4.

[Lucius Cypher]

Aight with that we have our iniative order. You can check on the iniative in the character tab. I will update the iniative when I can, but therwise please post only in iniative order. Feel free to post even if I have updated the order, but do follow said order.

Thokk 17
Angus 10
Raugar 8
Roy 4
Trogs A 3

That’s our current line up, Thokk is up first.
