"Let's, but! I need a healer to come with me. We will go back to the room. When the blast from the bomb goes off and if a successful breach is attained, we will launch a surprise attack while the guards are distracted by the blast. Then join our attack as well. Hopefully Durkon will pick up on the actions. How does that sound?" Hoke said with a grin.

No, but this is supposed to be a simple game, and I think you are trying hard to complicate it and turn it into AD&D (now and from previous posts you have made in other threads). That's why I took the action of peering through the crack to assess the guards. That was my roleplaying attempt at trying to get the information you just divulged as a QM note to my OOC post. You should have gave that information out or something vaguely similar to it in answer to Hoke's action.

Glad I asked. And no, it doesn't. In game time isn't the same. Who said we were acting immediately? If Durkon got in, he should be able to get out or to safety. Besides, if we are going by your time logic, the guards would have had plenty of time to blow him full of holes with the machine gun by the time we got back to the crack in the wall. Also, couldn't the guards have just left the room by now? I feel there are too many variables in play that you are not making us aware of.

Sorry guys, I don't mean to be a pain. Just trying to figure out if we can actually do these actions. Is the crack big enough to cast a spell through or throw a bomb or shoot an arrow? If so, am I able to target the guard on the machine gun? I have not figured out the QM's application of realism here.

Am I the only one attacking? Is there plan?

See Sandy's above post. Plus in D&D you can attack from behind with or without flanking. There are no in battle attacks from behind in Heroica. Try not to apply rules from other games to Heroica. Makes it less complicated that way.

Attacking from the back row & from behind are two different things.

Are we getting a "prepare for battle" line up or action order or just lobbing spells and bombs in hopes it does something? Hoke peers through the crack to assess the guards and their machine gun.

You should really say stuff like this much earlier if you previously read our posts. Also the description of the bedroll says it restores health and ether while in a safe place not over a period of time.

I feel like I am missing something? 4 hr rest? Either way, it's been more than 4 hrs since that post.

I believe I am pretty much at full health, and in game I figured I would just rest and catch my breath as we formulated a plan.

I'd like rest before we attack. I was just making a suggestion. Dannylonglegs - no thanks. Not sure what the deal is, but resting outside of battle is as easy as taking a tonic.

"I would like to rest first. Then perhaps an amethyst towards the guard on the machine gun."

Can you wait till we come up with a strategy ad a group? "Agreed. We should head back and try to attack them unawares," Hoke whispers back to his companions. Hoke uses Diplomacy. "Apoligies for my friends good sirs. We only defended ourselves from your friends and were unaware we had intruded on you. We will simply return from where we came and leave you in peace at this juncture."

I am assuming this has a garnet in it and does 8 earth elemental damage on a hit?

Sorry, thought I was stunned. So the axe has a garnet? I'd like to axe for the garnet and possible use in the Berserker class Hoke rolls his shoulders and shakes his head to end the ringing sound in his ears from the boomerang hit. He walks up to the fallen guardsmen. "I'd like the axe if no one objects." Hoke inspects the guardsmen for any insignia, papers, etc.

I figured you would have said something but it's ok.

Had you have said that before tge battle, I would gave taken my tonic. Oh well! Repeat

I elected to rest before the battle started. Shouldn't I gave been at full health & ether?

No offense, but I don't think Heroica needs anymore classes aside from the ones Sandy has made. I see that Sandy has asked for pitches. So what exactly constitutes an accomplished QM?

Hoke slams his visor down and draws his amethyst gem from its pouch. Boomerang Guard with amethyst from front row.

"If we are stopping to face those in pursuit, I would like to rest to replenish my energies."

"That way sounds better," Hoke says pointing west, "I'd wish to confront those who are in pursuit. Perhaps we can learn something about what we may face in the future."

Hoke uses all of his available tools to find a safe way to open the iron door and proceed down the tunnel.

"Why did you sign up for this quest?" Hoke asks with a wink as he climbs down the rope into the tunnel.
