It is the most role-playing time that I got to have in this game.

[Jenara]

And long shall it continue!

[Jenara]

Oh and I would consider Miltis gone, I am really annoyed about it, so you do still have an NPC!

I suggested Tas go to the back so we can move on, giving Kafen a little space.

Sorry, I had very little time to post the last few days, so I did things quickly. The general idea isto go easy with healing spells during the day, to have some in reserve for whoever gets severely wounded to keep them from dying. Of course Goldmoon should use those left in the evening to heal everyone as much as possible before going to sleep. I simply forgot it for that day.

[Jenara]

Ssshhh, doesn't matter. Lol

[JadedDM]

(OOC: Do the disks of Mishakal explain about undead and how to turn them?)

Yes, Goldmoon should know how to turn undead should the need to arise.

[JadedDM]

(( trying to find an alternate die roller ))

Err, why? What's wrong with Invisible Castle?

[Kafen]

I am not using it - I have yet to roll anything on it that hits.

[JadedDM]

Are you implying Invisible Castle is somehow skewing your rolls to have unfavorable results?

[Kafen]

Indeed More bad luck, than anything.

[Kafen]

Right, meta game time - the party needs a break. I know it is not in the script. However, the party is on the verge of a wipe. It is not against the GM law to go outside the module to keep a game both fun and moving.

You took most of out warriors and you are taking out our healing, now. :/ It is time to give us a break.

[JadedDM]

What script? A break from what?

Actually, what exactly are you proposing, Kafen? I'm honestly not sure.

[Kafen]

I am proposing that GM which targeted the warriors for a scripted kidnapping, knocked out our the healer, and forced ranged fighters into melee with tanks not force a party wipe.

I propose you give us a day to heal and get some HP back without being attacked if we want to continue the game without a party wipe.

I didn't target the 'warriors,' unless you think Raistlin qualifies as such, but Caramon, Riverwind and Sturm do not. I did target the NPCs, because I'm juggling a lot of them and needed a break. And there are more coming up soon.

And it wasn't scripted. It was perfectly possible for the party to have stopped the wyvern. I would have been annoyed, as it would mean I was stuck juggling a bunch of NPCs, but I wouldn't have stopped it from happening.

I did knock out our healer (that was completely at the mercy of the dice), but that's because Goldmoon never healed herself up. She had plenty of heal spells remaining. But she only healed Tas and then dropped a CLW on Sturm and Caramon. Laurana, Magpie and Goldmoon herself were all also very wounded, but Goldmoon never healed them. If she had, it's very unlikely anyone would have been knocked out in this fight. It's not that difficult a battle; just a handful of Baaz.

Your last statement is worded a bit awkwardly, so I'm not sure exactly what you are saying. You think I'm forcing non-melee characters into melee without tanks? Are Sturm and Caramon not considered tanks? Surely you don't believe Tanis (wearing leather) and Flint (wearing studded leather) and Raistlin (wearing robes) are tanks?

Despite all of that, I'm still not sure what you want me to do. All you did was list things you perceive me to have done, not what you think I should do now. What, exactly, are you proposing I do?

[Kafen]

You could have not targeted the healer and given the party a chance - instead, here is the situation that you force the players into.

You take the Warriors.
You send constant waves of bad guys at us without a chance to rest.
You target and knock out any healing.

As a GM, it is easy to NOT take the party healer out and ruin the game for players. I understand that you want to use random dice to do things, but it is equally profound as a gm to use common sense. You are pushing the players into an impossible situation where we have no chance.

I will settle for a slim chance, but you are taking even that from us. Geesh
