"If you stand still, then you will only cover an area of 2830 square feet a round, and it will be the smae 2830 feet the next round, and the next round, and the next round. If you move forward at half speed, you'll cover a much larger area

Detect Evil!
Also, if you actually think we'd encounter Devourers, shouldn't I cast Death Ward? That protects from "negative energy effects" for 16 minutes
Alright, so the (active) party is currently galavanting on the Ethereal Plane which is ahem a misty, fog-bound dimension. Its collection of swirling mists and colorful fogs that border the material plane, which is visible but muted and indistinct. The colors blur into eachother and the edges turn fuzzy. The area is mostly empty of structures and impediments, and there is no gravity making movement difficult to those without self-propulsion (wings, for example).

Frogs"

Does Spell-turning turn spell-like abilities?

>>34480Yes

Torc casts frog swarm as propulsion
Roll for perception check using magic and shit
>>34484Uhm,... frogs appear in the surrounding area, not falling to the ground as would be normal, but just floating in the air with a confused (for a frog) expression on their face.
Frog swarm does not propel.
>>34483Well mother fucker
What size? What intensity?
Ready full round attack Vanderiem
>>34480So just to be clear, where are you going? Just "that way"?
>>34482We found something. Let's figure out if it's what you think it is
>>34488But they are not shot out of the staff, so there's no pushing effect
>>34483b-b-b muh 20...

Hone in on aura using telepathy and Ready self for combat. Approach cautiously
Cast True Strike, and share it with Trumpaladin.
>>34484TOPKEK
>>34485Aww..
>>34487Looking for something to kill
>>34488Ur in the ethereal plane, newton's laws don't apply. Null gravity. Also, the frogs don't fire from ur arse.
>>34492Detect evil what's the hit die on the foes?
>>34482Oh fine, you see darting shapes in the distance moving at high speed. They're moving too fast to make anything out but a blurred face, which appears haggard and lanky, with green skin covering.
>>34495With Detect Evil, what is the approximate intensity of the creatures, and what direction are they going?
>>34495Alert Trump of targets
Observe and prepare to engage
>>34494It varies. Lots are squishy, some are decent, a handful are stronk, and there's a bit of mustard in the mix.
>>34496Oh they've detected the group, and are flying around at range.
>>34497>prepare to engageIf we're going up against soul suckers I want to know so I can cast the spell, and if we are not, I want to wait, so it isn't dried up one minute before we encounter soul suckers
"Fug. I lost them, can you see anything?" Thez says to Torcuil (who has also lost sight of Trump and Tracy)
>>34501Does she show up on Detect evil? By the way, that's being used like a radar now
BTW, Thez WOULD have given back the girdle and Sugoito,... IF Trump and Tracy hadn't taken off like idiots,.... Xp
>>34505>Tracking, on the ethereal planeWhat about vacuous and gaseous plane of nothing don't you get?
>>34504I wanted to go back to the tower, but Tracy dragged me here
Quick Draw Composite Bob's Bow, ready full round attack on creature that comes in range and in clear shot
>>34505Cast spell now?
>>34506Idk... She's got insane survival on other planes.. but I guess that doesn't apply..
>>34508>leprechaunsKek!
>>34508What kinda acid was he taking?
Torcuil flies off, a stream of leprechauns flying out his ass.
"Well fug," Thez says, and takes off after him. "DO you even know which way they went?" she calls after as he continues to fly, propelled by leprechauns. Leprechauns. Seriously? Oi.
>>34510Deathward.
"The subject is immune to all death spells, magical death effects, energy drain, and any negative energy effects"
>>34512How far away are the targets?
>>34513Holding in a circle moving around us, "distant," but have spotted the group
>>34511Hey, Trumps the one to mention frogs coming out of asses.
"FUCKING HELL, I SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF HOW TO CONTROL THIS"
[1d8 = 6]>>34513Too far to make anything out, but shapes can still be seen moving about
>>34515Yeah, ya should
>>34516Shit
Activate Robe and start phuming smoke like crazy
>>34519Moving enough to keep sense of the targets, but treading more carefully now.
[1d20 = 1]>>34517Can't, theyre touching his lucky charms on the way out
Control check
>>34520Stand still and wait for them to come? Charge them? Go closer and shoot with bow? Should I ready a bow or a sword? Should I cast death ward or some other spell or wait?
>>34519Is it possible to shoot any of them with a bow - that is, are the targets clear enough and close enough?
>>34523>'Well... We get in range.. and then we stab them..">>34525Find first; then get in shooting range.
Shoot first, then make ride-by attacks
*follows whateverthefuck*
>>34521fukking kek
Well, my my calculations (and thats per a dice roll, since Torcuil TOTALLY moffed his control check (not that he got one for ass-leprechauns)) Torcuil is heading in a completely different direction than Trump and Tracy, and he has no control. Thez is keeping pace.
>>34526You can shoot, in fact range rules are less applicable,... but its almost like the moving shapes know that too. They're maintaining a perimeter, analyzing the pair. There are some watching the flying-leprechaun-scotsman, but thats more from disbelief and curiosity than aggressive strategy.
[1d20 = 1]>>34528Check to shove a cork in ti
>>34529OH FUCK THIS GODDAMNED FUCKING PEICE OF CUNT SHIT
[4d20 = 42]>>34528Shoot Full Round with Compisite Bob's bow at smaller target, chose the one closest and clearest
>>34528What are the stats on Bob's bow? Wasn't it a +2 bow? And what is the damage roll?
[3d20 = 28]>>34528*unleashes chain and sends it to attack*
It can attack... three times?
>>34533Well, because you didn't advance to level 15 rogue you really should only have two attacks
>>34534An Everwhirling Chain is a chain of speed too.
[1d20-8 = -8]>>34529This shit writes its self
So Torcuil continues to shoot off, propelled by ass-leprechauns, well distant from Tracy and Trump (who seem to have become stationary). Thez is close behind.
>>34531>No manyshot featTrump fires a single arrow, at an elusive target, that is moving, and is partially obscured.
>>34537Fuck it then
Readies Vanderiem for when something get's within melee distance
>>34540That'll work
>>34541The leprechauns are long gone, and went in a completely different direction. Remember, Tracy sped off - spurred by Trump's "Chad charge" - before Thez and Torcuil even GOT to the ethereal plane, and they went in a different direction. Good move btw.
>>34542"I'm never doing drugs again"
>>34539Is it not?
Spirited Charge. Make 3 ride by attacks when in range.
I suggest Trump does the same.
>>34542OR
We could meet up with the rest of the group...
Let's do that.
>>34544Make up your mind
>>34542Are you being sarcastic with the good move or what?
Either way, he has a readied full round sword attack for an enemy within range
>>34546
The great Erwin Rommel told his troops "In the absence of orders, find something and kill it." I suggest we do the same
>>34545Does she sense the rest of the party?
You're the rider, you steer.
>>34544>when in rangeOkay, I'll let you know
>>34545>sarcasmYes
Uhm,... spoiler alert, these enemies aren't going to LET you get in range
Hold on, I'll paint a picture.
I have shit to do... techinicaly now today, and yesterday was a steaming pill of shit so I'm going to sleep, see you faggots tomorrow
>>34550Idk what these are. Devourers are slow, and Marauders aren't ebil..
>>34551>Torc is blasting off again >>34549If the horse does a charge then he's in range
>>34551Poor Torcuil's faggot. Goodnight
>>34552Hellhounds? What lives on the Ethereal plane?
This is a rough sketch of the inherent trajectories. As you can see (given the time differential) neither group (Trump/Tracy OR Torcuil/Thez) had the chance to really analyze where the other was going. Each pair is kinda on their own at this point.
>>34551'Night! You won't die, Thez is with you.
>>34549The chain is 60 ft, and she charges fast.
How fast are these things moving?
>>34554>hellhound>etherealAnything with the ability, I guess...
>>34556Shouldn't Trump be able to detect Thez because her class ability designates her as an Outsider?
>>34554Lots of things, and even more venture to it.
>>34553You might be surprised
>>34550There are approximately 16 signatures, of varying intensity. The stronger intensity signatures are more distant and stationary, while the less intense signatures seem to be the ones whirling around and darting to and fro.
>>34557>Something about hellhounds obviously not being etherealNigger I have no idea what is on the ethereal plane. I don't want to be here. I'd rather advance towards a group goal like killing off the Cardishore Globalists or interrogating Darkie, going to the Drow, murdering them all, and then taking their stuff. Or if you want to go hunt random monsters, go north or far to the east to kill dragons, which leave 3x treausure, unlike Devourers that leave none at all. If you want to kill something on the Ethereal plane, find something and kill it
>>34559A couple masters with controlled fiends I'll bet
>>34557Good point. Trump can't detect anything, because
everyone is out of range.
>>34559>>34561Goddammit, just fucking charge forward until we're in range to do
something.
>inb4, they're intelligent, peaceful creatures >>34562Also, activate the Ring of Spell turning on the Hand of Glory.
GM sighs and rests his chin on his hand, watching Trump and Tracy speed off to their doom.
>>34565When you say that, I lose all confidence...
>>34563Or we could pop back into the material realm. Where we have some vague idea of what is trying to kill us
