Snip

Yeah, that's totes fine! Seen GMs do it both ways, including the same GM. I just knew my real life unlucky would kick in XD

So one roll to resist knockdown per enemy then. Earth TN 20 as he'd done one raise for that when saving the spell. Let's hope!

Tae-soo is the first one to move forward, still chanting. He moves closer, looking for a strategic position, then whispers, even while chanting. "Wash it away" As soon as he finishes the last word, a tidal wave rises, seemingly out of nowhere, rushing towards the Harbonger and some of its retinue, t...

Posting the spell and (horrible) damage there at any rate. If it's possible to hit Harbinger plus 2 effigies, that's better, otherwise I'll take everyone but one effigy (preferably hitting the one that prevents us from spending void!)

Snip Hm. I figured hitting both effigies would be easier than both cultists since they're farther away and the cone is wider at the far end. Any kind of positioning that would make it possible to hit Harbinger and both effigies, or is that a no go? And fine with a single roll too I guess. Makes it ...

Going for the spell then. Is GM If I understand the positioning right, if I stand 20 ft away from the Harbinger I could hit... maybe everyone but the cultists? Would I be able to hit everyone if I move within 15 ft of the Harbinger (and a bit sideways) instead? Or if we have a map, do let me know :)...

Actually, STARTING with what he's got silent watered (Strike of the Tsunami) may be a good call tbh since it hits everything within a cone and it gets harder after others are around. Can we start with that maybe? What do you think?

Downing Effigy 2 first or trying to keep it away is actually a very decent plan I'd say? TS is still casting until round 1 (which I'm sure I'll regret later, but let's see). With the effigies 35 feet away, if Kai is Water 4 (I think you are?) you could reach it with 1 Simple Action and move away 20 ...

Tae-soo started whispering something, quietly even for those within their bubble of silence, as soon as they start moving to the planned location for their strike He seemed as ready as it gets... but nothing happens for now. He keeps chanting silently --- D7 MA - Starting casting as 'roll 3' as allo...

Unreliable Lucid Dreamer (3k3 for TN20 is effectively a 1/3 chance) here. Still hoping Chuchu can do the roll until we get explicit confirmation of the contrary. Otherwise, I roll 7k4 for throwing big rocks ... And... Uh... That's about it. Kinda limited by my best ring being Water. That *does* mea...

That works I suppose. Asked to clarify if it's a case of 'do not need to' or 'cannot' either way. I'll have Tae-soo roll Investigation as well at any rate. For the last roll... what plans did we have with those in the front line again? Anjing rolling 8k4-5 + 1 Free Raise for Heavy Weapons iirc? Tae-...

that is correct, they do not need to do Part 1. Just to be clear. Is that *do not need* or *cannot*? I had thought we would all be there at the start, but some keeping to the back and not joining the combat right away. Asking because at the moment Sugri had passed the Investigation roll, and Chuchu...

Huh? So Alternates *can't* do the first or third roll?

Because if so, Sugri's roll won't work either unless we swap him to be among the Actives.

I guess that's worth checking... I thought anyone could do those?

Okiedokie! If you think more magical help may be needed to do your thing, please let me know! If not, I'm planning on starting to cast... something. Possibly Heart of the Water Dragon to keep us alive longer... or something to damage the bonger

Huh! OK then!

So.... Kai and Ohta still to roll then? Four people Quiescence of Air easily deals with.

And waiting on Chuchu for her idea for the 3rd roll!

Seeing the others gathering around and Sugri pointing to vantage points nearby, Tae-soo gestures for the others to get closer to him, pulls out a knife and makes a small cut on the palm of his hand. A few whispers, a quick shift of the wind, and suddenly there seems to be no sound coming from him - ...

I'll go ahead and roll Quiescence of Air focused on Tae-soo then as that's way easier to pull off. That should give everyone who wants it a +10 to Stealth rolls - and you can move away if you don't want that anymore for whatever reason. Here we go: https://dayofthunder.fallenash.com/viewtopic.php?f=...

Adding another post instead of a third edit: We need a decision. What would you rather - 1) Quiescence of Air centred on Tae-soo, so everyone within 30 ft of him gets 2 FR on Stealth roll vs anything outside (would help everyone with their rolls, possibly except for the one doing the thing for Roll ...

Spellcasting roll + fluff. That's all you need. Sure, I don't see why not. As long as the length of time the spell lasts will be enough for what you need. You gotta be quiet, tho. Right, so that could work too. Will let the others know. For 'being quiet' - I'm assuming casting Quiescence of Air dur...

The water, which had an very subtle sheen to it, clears.

(OOC: Does anything happen when Tae-soo and Shang drink the water? Or is it just... water?)

Ohhh okay, I see. Sure. Yay! What would that work like then? Just the spellcasting roll itself (and if so, vs the normal TN? Any Raises needed or TN increases)? Something else? EDIT: Actually, another question that just occurred to me. If TS ends up not doing that (letting someone else handle that ...
