I'll be away travelling for the next 2 days or so. Sorry about the short notice.

 

I guess it's fitting, though, that both the wyvern players are tied up for the time being, just like our characters.  Tongue out

So... Ya'shenn's bonus to

So... Ya'shenn's bonus to attack rolls is at best +5 (ranged) or +6 (melee - heh).  It seems very likely that her skiff will end up in the sea with the other githyanki skiff.  There's suggestion, I suppose, but don't yuan-ti have power resistance (rather than spell resistance) in this particular game?  Is there anything I'm missing here?

Wyvers are AC 17.  Totally hitable, if you roll well.

It would be nice to roll higher than a 10 or so occasionally.

Ooh! Story! Two days

Ooh! Story!

Two days ago, my RL gaming group one-upped BoGr's dice absurdity. One of my players, who is legendary for his immunity to the laws of probability rolled in one 3-hour period: 20 to hit an enemy, confirmed with an 18. Next round, he rolled annother 20, and sucessfully confirmed. Later in the fight, he rolled a 1 on a fort. save vs. disease. Then he got hit by a crossbow bolt, puting him on 0 hp. After a lot of low rolls from everyone (who knew it'd take 10 rounds to kill a 1st level goblin warior?), the PC in question was hit by a sling stone, putting him on -1. Then he rolled a 1 to stabalize. Next round, he also rolled a 1, so his failure put him on -8 (using evil crit rules) The round after that, he rolled a 19 and stabalized on -9. 

Next session, we're tallying his dice rolls...

Well, can't really act

Well, can't really act until our dragonrider gets the "dragon" fired up... Let's go, B.S, we got at least two allies plummeting from the sky!

 

After catching Na'rai we could go straight for Ya'shenn, considering how she might lose the skiff very soon.

Yes she is.  The wyvern at first was resistant to a strange rider, but is now performing for Ii.  It seems to see carrying the load as a challenge to meet.

Ar'dru lobbed his last

Ar'dru lobbed his last grenade a while back but I never saw the effect, where does he stand in the initative order/what round is he up to compared to the others because he was about to leave his skiff and take the fight back to the wyverns.

BTW, it is my intention to not directly use the Wyvern itself to attack with, as that keeps me from rolling high ride chaecks constantly, but to swoop by and attak with my own weapon, and use the Wyvern as a barrier between the brigs being attacked and the Wyvern doing it, i claim to be able to do this with my slightly better manouverability Laughing out loud

How far away is the nearest brig relative to our skiff? What are our chances of getting there and disembarking while avoiding being torn up by more wyverns?

If no wyverns are clawing away at the skiff at this point, Ya'shenn reaches once more for the control skull, clairvoyantly assessing how the battle progresses and scanning for likely teleportation destinations.

Similar question:  What is Ya'shenn's clairvoyance telling her about the battle?  The NPC skiff that sank earlier -- any chance of githyanki survivors (that either they or NPCs could rescue)?  And how about Ar'dru?

[28 is good enough to convince the wyvern to "stay out" and not return with the others, either to hunt, or better yet to tail the githyanki fleet.  The wyvern will still think that Hlondeth is home, though.  However, Ii can 'take 20' for dragonriding to break the wyvern and take it for herown mount.  It will be a long and arduous process, but the 'challenge' of tailing the skiffs, which can fly 24 hours a day, will help motivate the dragon-kin.  You are welcome to compose a long and detailed post reflecting this.]

 I would love no more then that, but atm i have a very heavy week of work. 66 hours actually, so i will be able to do a decent post on perhaps sunday.

Ya'shenn's mood begins to lighten as she, Du'minh, and Na'rai rejoin the fleet. At a time when Ii'Jyka'Vaar is in range, she sends to the githees:

can i reply to her if and when she does that? like sending?
