Round 2 actions and the Holidays
Subject Round 2
Harp sees Mund run by, relief obvious on his face at being away from the spectral creature. He turns his attention back to the other end of the room and continues his prayer for the summoned weapon, instructing it to strike at the creature again.
OOC: Harp really wishes that there was a "Holy Wind" that could blow this thing back into the corner and keep it there.

Subject Round 2
Too bad he didn't eat those beans last night.
As to the spell, from the way I read it Harp and Ragnar do not have to continue concentrating on the spell for it to keep attacking. They do if they want it to change targets or move. So I would guess that they could do something else this round.

Subject Round 2
OOC: New special items - Holy Beans of Might (or maybe Smiting).
I agree. Harp does not have to concentrate, but he is not going to move out of range of the Magic Circle. Let this bad boy come to us.

Subject Round 2
I was thinking Beans of Mighty Wind.

Subject Holidays
I was wondering what everyones Holiday plans were? Will any of you be out of communication for days at a time over Christmas or New Years? I will not but would be willing to suspend the game, say starting next Wednesday until after the new year.
It is up to you folks.

I'll have enough access to be able to keep updated.

Subject Round 2
After he sees the missles strike, Kal throws himself into combat with the ethreal creature.

Subject Holidays
I'm leaving Thursday and will have access to dialup but I might be working a bit. Since Surin's off investigating doors for the moment, though, this might not matter so much.

Subject Holidays
Derek is traveling to Utah right now, and should be here in a few hours.

Subject Round 2
Not ethereal, incorpreal. :)
From: Karl
Subject Holidays
I *could* keep playing, but I'm taking time off work after Christmas and can't be sure I'll stay at home to check email. (Not that Salix is doing much at the moment.) :)
From: Kevin
Subject Round 2
Mark, I have revised what I want to do. Harp is going to hold action until I see if the creature moves toward us. It is my understanding that my SW will follow the initial target and this does not use my move action. I will hold action until the creature is within normal combat range (Harp is willing to take a 5ft step, so long as he is still with in the protection of the magic circle). On his action, Harp will attack with his longsword, and the SW will also attack.
From: Derek
Subject Round 2
Sorry for the lapse. We had to get up at an enjoyable 4:00 am this morning to catch our flight.
Allistair will keep right behind the warriors, and as soon as he can target the creature he will fire off a MM.
From: Porter
Subject Round 2
You should be able to do that this turn, right?
From: Derek
Subject Round 2
I thought we were still getting in the door. If I can see the thing, I immediately shoot of a MM
From: Mark
Subject Round 2
On round 1 Harp ordered the four of you, Harp, Kal, Ragnar and Allistair into the room and for Mund to retreat. Since you can move up to 30 feet and then do a standard action, which casting a MM is, I figured that Allistair would have cast it last round.
Now assuming he has MM memorized more than once he can cast it again in round 2. Just know that the creature gets to do its thing first so if you want you can give me conditional actions, such as if the creature stays where it is I shoot MM, or if the creature moves and attacks I shoot MM or if the creature retreats I shoot MM, or if the creature dies I shoot MM.
Stuff like that. :)
