Green_Hilltop: Are you sure? Doc told me Protection from Evil is only for 1 person, so unlike the Globe of Protection it doesn't shield more people. Given that he told me on Turn 9, it's most likely the most accurate and up-to-date info. DnD also has it as a 1-person spell, so you shoould assume it protects only yourself unless/until Doc says otherwise.

paladin181: (Well, I was told the last time I cast it that it affected those around me as well like an aura...? Unless we're changing the rules mid game..)
In that case Doc might've forgotten, as he didn't say there's any aura when I cast it on myself and Svartalf. It would be really great though!

Doc, can we get a clarification please?

Current Actions Summary

43 - idbeholdME - Svartalf - Dwarven Battlemage -- ( Protection Against Evil, Reflect Spells, Magic Shield )
I keep any distance I have from her so she does not interrupt me and cast Ice Lance on the stocky Hag. Hopefully the physical nature of the spell (it is a big spike of ice after all) means that she will not resist it and the piercing capabilities should be able to penetrate her skin (if I hit of course, I still have yet to hit with an offensive spell :P). Maybe luck will finally be on my side.

52 - RedFireGaming - Roark - Elven Druid
1."Hard to feel sorry for an adventurer who wanted a nap in the midst of battle, and also I think I might have assassinated his cousin some time ago, so uh... too bad for Kyp. At least I can help FartySmer... BlartFartBartTart... whatever his name is."
Roark casts Cure Poison on SmartyFartBlart
"Don't be such a baby, it's only poison." Roark says. "Nothing to be so dramatic about. I get poisoned all the time, and look at me."
Roark turns to Taz. "Hey Taz, did you know that hags blow up reeeaaaal good? It's true. All that bile makes them extemely volatile. So why don't you have some fun and fire at that witch at the left side of the room?"
2.Roark casts Bite of the Werewolf, screams "Precioouusss", and bites the ring off the witch's finger.

9 - MaxFulvus - Max, son of Fulvus - Dwarven Thief
I suggest to everyone who is around the tall hag to join me in a close combat to slay her ! She cans block spells while she carries the ring, so all kind of offensive spells (fireball, lightening bolt... except Silence) is useless !
While she is injured, behind my shield, I quickly raise my battleaxe to cut her ringed hand. Meanwhile, the others (Triock, Babargh, Roark, Roosevelt and all around) try to cut her into pieces !
"Khazâd ! Khazâd !"

22 - 01kipper - Kip - Halfling Brigand
Kip gets up and launches another magical slingshot at the Stocky Hag while she's still out of melee. He remains alert to dodge any potential counterattacks.

15 - Lone_Scout - Says Beldarion - Human Warrior -- ( Magic Shield )
"Keep close to me, Aslain. She might reappear" Beldarion moves to Thras: "Hold on, sir! And better look for some healing..." Beldarion kicks him in the guts and beheads Taz.
In the case Thras is out of Beldarion's reach, he'll loot Kyp's corpse instead.
Beldarion keeps alert. In case he meets a Hag on his way, or a Hag appears next to him, he'll move to defend Aslain (if he's wise enough to stay nearby) and furiously attack the hag (he won't try to hurl the book this time)

28 - triock - Triock Ulagolor - Elven Paladin
Triock Ulagolor, Elven Paladin, raises from the ground and looks at Eranear. He smiles at him and whispers: "Thank you brother, I won't forget your kindness". He then takes his faithful flamesword Riarwirn and his shield a goes to fight with the tall hag, trying to cut off her hand with a ring.

13 - paladin181 - Roosevelt - Human Paladin -- ( Protection Against Evil )
++ROOSEVELT BACKS AWAY SOME SO HE IS NOT CROWDING OTHERS WHO CAN HARM THE WITCH FROM ATTACKING AND STAYS NEARBY THAT HIS DEFENSIVE PROTECTION SPELL MIGHT BENEFIT THOSE IN IMMEDIATE HARM++

29 - gogtrial34987 - Og'rialt - Dwarf Brigand ( Magic Shield )
Og'rialt picks up the guide and takes note of its instructions. Given the fantastic outcome from the previous instructions from his guide, he intends to follow these instructions immediately. As he reaches for his mirror beneath his coat, where he had placed it upon receiving it, he notices to his growing consternation that it's no longer there!
Reviewing all those who had come in close proximity to himself since exiting the portal, he reaches an immediate conclusion. His wrath swiftly building to terrible proportions, he bellows with all his dwarven might.
*points to Cicatrix*
"DROW! PERVERSION! Return what is mine to me, or know you will have made an enemy for the rest of your incredibly short life!"
Og'rialt informs those around him to spread the word that the female Drow Ranger who "applied bandages" to his wounds, stole a magical object from him which he could have been using to take out one of these hags, and that if she is spotted doing anything other than returning this object to him right away, all available means should be taken to disable or kill her so that the object can be returned to him.
If the mirror is returned to him right away, Og'rialt uses it to stand in front of the hag and utters the phrase from his guide.
Otherwise, if he spots Cicatrix doing anything other than returning the mirror, he will lash out with his chain, attempting to trip her.
Otherwise, he keeps up the same tactics as before, refraining from attacking the tall hag until her attention is fully captured by other events. If the hag turns away from Og'rialt to face another attacker, then Og'rialt attempts a simultaneous attack with his axe on the hag from behind her. If he sees a clean opportunity on her left arm (the arm with the ring on it), he'll go for it, but otherwise he'll forego any sort of finesse in favour of just landing a solid blow, hoping some ice damage will at least slow the hag down. If he sees an opportunity to trip her into the swirling blades with his chain, he'll attempt that.
2.If the above action happens (See 5 - Sulibor - Dunward - Human Mage's actions) and Og'rialt gets alerted, Og'rialt will hasten to Cicatrix. As she is currently effectively immobilized, he will not initially use his chain or attack with other weapons. A fight doesn't need to be "fair" (go ambushes!), but wounding someone who he sees as helpless, even if it's an evil drow who dared to steal from him, is not in his character. Instead, Og'rialt will demand his mirror back, first with words, and if she doesn't hand it over, trying to take it from her with physical force (yanking off her backpack and rummaging through it).
If during this she tries to attack him with a weapon, he will trust that he'll see it coming, back away out of her reach (yay for immobilized opponents) and then use the reach of his chain to wound her without risk to himself, telling her to give up his mirror, and stopping the attack once she's done so.

59 - Lemmus - Cicatrix - Drow Ranger
Keeping an eye on the closest hag, Cicatrix looks for a way out of the room other than the one she came in. If nothing is obvious she'll check for secrets before doubling back. She'll also keep an eye out for any unguarded magic items, but that's not a priority.
If a hag (or adventurer) should make a move for her, Cicatrix will first blow her whistle then draw her sword. She won't make any obvious move against the hags, though. Not her problem as long as they don't move against her.

2 - bler144 - SmartyFartBlart - Human Paladin -- POISONED -- ( Reflect Spells, Protective Bubble )
1.Ok. Assuming cure poison gets me back up (and pending a decision on whether I need a heal), I'm sticking with the plan of approaching the stocky hag, in a defensive tanky posture staying clear of ranged lines and trying to get her turned away from ranged.
I'll only actually attack if she has her back to me, to stay clear of ice lances and arrows and such.
I'll use my high charisma to try to persuade her to share her weaknesses.
2.Per communication with Doc, I will also cast heal upon myself, as apparently I'm rather not well

35 - jonridan - Aslain Melemir - Elven Thief
I shoot several arrows at the Tall Hag, unless there's too many people around her (don't want to hurt or kill anyone but the hags). Otherwise I shoot as many arrows as possible at the Stocky Hag. If too many people are in the way (I can't make arrows avoid obstacles, yet...) then I just reposition myself in the middle of the room and focus on finding the Drow that stole from Og'rialt.

69 - alexandros050 - Rudy - Human Ranger
I will order my bear to attack the stocky hag and I will move to a safe distance and shoot some arrows to the stocky hag.

41 - zlaywal - Zayd ibn Yasin - Human Ranger
Zayd's decides only to unleashed his arrows to the stocky hag only when he sure that that the hag couldn't do anything about it. He choose to bide his time waiting for an opening.

80 - Green_Hilltop - Eranear - Elf Paladin -- ( Protection Against Evil, Reflect Spells, Bless )
1.I'm going to go for the tall one just to be sure and head for the stocky one if the tall one is defeated by the time it's my turn.
2.If I see Beldarion looting Kyp's body, I yell, "Why are you loooting Kyp's body mid-fight? Have some decency and wait if he can be resurrected! I think most of us wouldn't mind sharing with you if you need something, like healing."

70 - Lifthrasil - Thras - Dwarven Mage
Fine. Time to get physical. I rise to have a bit more freedom of movement. I still have the staff in the hand that I control and I smash it over the head of Taz. If necessary, I repeat that until he is out.

5 - Sulibor - Dunward - Human Mage -- ( Magic Shield )
Dunward tries to detect Cicatrix - Drow Ranger. To aid his senses he casts "See invisible" and if he succeeds he will cast "Levitate" on her to hold her suspended few cetimeters in air and alarms Og'rialt so that he can retrieve his possessions.

Haven't taken turn yet:

48 - babark - Babargh - Dwarven Cleric -- ( Globe of Protection )
72 - park_84 - Darrim - Dwarf Warrior
78 - CervelloYM - Cervello - Drow Battlemage

I PMed Doc and he just got back to me, Protection against Evil indeed protects additional three people! That's another good thing about having another paladin around, besides having an all-paladin team (now there are 4 of us! :)).

I have a Prot on as well, so whichever hag I attack, I also protect allies around me.

Svartalf has one too! :) So we most likely will get both hags covered with Prot.

Are they really evil, or just misunderstood?



You know, aside from the homicidal rage and cannibalism.

BenKii:
Great list! Could you also add active spells to it, to make it easier for the Doc to see who has spells on?

I have Protection Against Evil, Reflect Spells and Bless

Svartalf has Protection Against Evil, Reflect Spells and Magic Shield.

SmartyBlarty has Reflect Spells and Protective Bubble.

Roosevelt has Protection Against Evil.

Babargh has Globe of Protection.

I don't think anyone else has active spells, (Thras' Magic Shield dissolved, I think). Everyone, could you post what Turn you cast your spells?

If I see Beldarion looting Kyp's body, I yell, "Why are you loooting Kyp's body mid-fight? Have some decency and wait if he can be resurrected! I think most of us wouldn't mind sharing with you if you need something, like healing." (hehe)
Dunward Human Mage:

Dunward tries to detect Cicatrix - Drow Ranger and once he sees her he will alarm Og'rialt so that he can retrieve his possessions. Dunward summons monster near the entrance and instructs it to guard it and stop anyone (apart of him) who tries to exit. Till it is told by Dunward to do otherwise.Monster is also instructed to guard Dunward.
If Dunward is attacked he will use his wand against the attacker.
Dunward says:
"Drow you will not be allowed to leave with the items you stole. Return them and you will be free to go."
---------------------------
Protective spell active on Dunward:
Magic Shield

Dunward cast Magic Shield on Beldarion in turn 10, on me in turn 11, and on himself on turn 12, which should all still be active (Beldarion's shield took a little bit of damage from some acid, mine and his own are still pristine.)

avatar
Sulibor: "Babargh, if I understand, you are in dire situation surrounded by the Swirling Blades.
He "backed away" from them in turn 12, so I don't think he's surrounded by them, and so his situation isn't all that dire.

Ooh, nice! Do you know for certain if "see invisible" works on people hiding in the shadows? (I could also imagine "detect secrets" being useful here. Don't want you to waste a spellslot by picking the wrong spell.) :)
(edit: Boo! on this not going to work.)


If anything similar to the above action happens (that is, if Cicatrix is found and effectively immobilized), and Og'rialt gets alerted, Og'rialt will hasten to Cicatrix (while still taking care to avoid the swirling blades, the hags and any other enemies which might be summoned). As Cicatrix will be effectively immobilized, he will not initially attack with any weapons. A fight doesn't need to be "fair" (go ambushes!), but wounding/killing someone who he sees as helpless, even if it's an evil drow who dared to steal from him, is not in his character. Instead, Og'rialt will demand his mirror back, first with words, and if she doesn't hand it over, trying to take it from her with physical force (yanking off her backpack and rummaging through it).

bler144: Are they really evil, or just misunderstood?

It's hard to be misunderstood when you eat good creatures, like paladins. They already gobbled up the summoned creatures and they said they want to eat us too! :D (did you mean that seriously or was that a joke?)

They are, that's why the Protection has been working against them and saved Svartalf from being killed outright. The Doc said I can sense great evil from them, as a paladin, so so should you. I did ask earlier if there was any chance of diplomacy still working if they're good creatures, after Roark hit them with the lightning storm, so I considered the possibility too until I found out it's evil, people-eating hags who already tried to kill Roosevelt.

(also regarding your earlier edited post about persuading the stocky hag to give up if we defeat the tall one, which is now gone)

I have already asked our omniscient Dungeon Master if both spells could be used in the way I proposed and I wait for his reply.
Regarding Babargh, you are right, I will edit my post.

Green_Hilltop: Great list! Could you also add active spells to it, to make it easier for the Doc to see who has spells on?
Sure. I've added active buffs next to each character's name right after status ailments. Also updated with new and updated actions since I originally posted the summary.

Action Summary Updated
FYI, I tend to tweak my posts/actions slightly on an ongoing basis to better take minor edge cases into account which might happen. It doesn't change anything fundamental about what I'm doing (otherwise I'll do a new post), so your action summary remains useful for players, but I think it's worth pointing out explicitly, so that at least when Doc resolves actions, he'll use the original posts, not your summary.

Of course. This summary is mostly to help out players who need to try and catch up with what's happening. I think Doc has his own way of tracking everyone so if anything he would only use my summary as a double check.

It looks like our plan had to change as person that is under the Levitation spell has full control over her/his movement. Furthermore spells will not help us detect drow. I updated my post. I will try tu summon monster near the entrance and not allow to pass anyone.

Sulibor: Furthermore spells will not help us detect drow.
OOC: I have the feeling (also based on other tunnels) that we're being set up for a massive end battle of drow (+ goblins? + half orcs?) vs everyone else. Or at least that all drow have a secret objective of their own. Cicatrix stealing my mirror doesn't make any sense, as she should've had no knowledge of its existence, and the native advantages drow have (like apparently being able to hide in the shadows without being detectable, and being able to pickpocket without being a thief) are getting a bit beyond plain overpowered...

Will be interesting to see how this'll all resolve! :)
