Let's try it at the next fight and see if it works for us

[Caledonian Achilles]

SHOPPING LIST FOR WHEN WE HEAD BACK TO TOWN
for Odlin
Sling and bullets
scroll of spider climb
scroll of glitterdust
scroll of scorching ray

for the party
at least 2 coils of rope
dozen pitons and hammer
2 sunrods

HOW TO GET BACK ACROSS THE COLLAPSED BRIDGE
perhaps lower a rope down on the near side, facing the ooze again. then maybe having the rogue climb up and attach a second rope for the rest of us?

[puffthemagicdragon]

how deep is the water and far far of a jump is it to get into the water?

[achinca]

Jump is a DC 15.

Ryxikor could find a place to secure the rope to go up. Miriam and Augustine could find a way to secure a rope to go down. Of course you need to have rope and the one you used to go down will have to stay there.

[puffthemagicdragon]

I'd rather not RP the return to the village , just add what we want to buy (if they have it), subtract the gold, and lets begin back here or where ever encounter a wandering monster or wandering zombie.

[Caledonian Achilles]

interesting point about lack of ropes! i assumed stad still had a rope as it was on his character sheet. oops!

if we dont have a rope then its climb checks? if the drop is only about 10 feet, we could get someone to give a boost and the ppl above to reach out to aid another in the climb checks?

[nodaisho]

So, what's our move here? We likely have company from behind (possibly a hidden passage that Augustine and Ryx failed to notice, or the skeletons left in the coffins) as well as the ones in front of us. I would be tempted to say we should go back up the hallway, punch through the ones behind us, and take up a more easily defended position.

[Caledonian Achilles]

sounds like a good plan, i think there was a mounted statue behind us too (making the grand total to 3 knights)

might be an idea to get our magical weapons out and the rest of us flank, aid another

HP: 17/35

(PA 2)

Damage: 1d8+8

quick Q; does stadvas have a magical great flail +1?

if so, i think his base attack is
BAB4 + STR 3 + feat 1 + wpn enh 1 = +9
and the base damage is
1d10 + 2H_STR 4 + wpn enh 1 = 1d10 + 5

therefore with the bulls strength +4 STR and PA 2
attack = BAB 4 + STR 5 + feat 1 + wpn enh 1 + PA (-2) = +9 melee
damage = 1d10 + 2H_STR 7 + wpn enh 1 + PA 4 = damage 1d10 +12

[Ilya]

That would all be perfectly correct if not for the fact that our DM decided he was using the one-handed flail+1.

This brings attack to:
BAB 4 + STR 5 + wpn enh 1 + PA (-2) = +8
And damage to:
1d8 + STR 5 + wpn enh 1 + PA 2 = damage 1d8 + 8

[Caledonian Achilles]

ah gotcha, i wasnt sure if you had magic oiled your weapon
fnarr fnarr

[edit] why can't you use the one-handed flail +1 as a two-handed weapon and get double your PA and 1.5 times your STR bonus for damage?

[achinca]

Ilya,
when I posted for Stadvas, I assumed that after fighting the tomb spider and the DR that monster had that he would switch to the magical flail and get shield portection against the destroyer who is using two weapons. Now if you rather have Stadvas play with a great flail but no shield feel free to adjust your post.
I do not want to dictate the players decision. You tel me what Stadvas would do in such a situation.

[Ilya]

Don't worry Achinca, it's fine like it is right now. Might save Stad a few HP, and the Gods know he needs those.

[Ilya]

I didn't want to post OOC in the game, so I'll answer you here, Cal. even if he doesn't, he needs Odlin to be out of the way before he can charge.
