Well, I definitely wasn't expecting that to happen.

Not to be a killjoy and all but doesn't fireball ignore armour?

Mortus' certainly does, is evil wizard's different?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #11902 on:** July 22, 2015, 05:30:54 PM »

Damn, you're right. I'll have to change my post.

Maybe the aura spells don't help either.

No idea, though auras aren't armour or are they?

That's one way to cure a curse I guess!

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #11906 on:** July 22, 2015, 08:47:19 PM »

What about the person inside? Do we bang on the door nearby and try to snag him?

Flee into the night?

commandant · « **Reply #11907 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:03:17 PM »

Just point out that Mortus is tired now

Finlay · « **Reply #11908 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:04:17 PM »

if auras dont count, mortus got hurt by his fireball, which means hers didnt cast and he's still alive.

just sayin'.

An aura is dispelled by magic weapons. I don't think that fireball is a magic weapon though, therefore the aura should not be dispelled as fireball doesn't say that it ignores magic auras, just armour.

Fireball (4 MP per fireball, range 48 yards. May cast one fireball per wizard level at once. Auto-hits, hits 2d3 creatures in a group(enemies are in a group if no more than 3 yards apart), S3, d10 wounds, ignores armour, victim may make I test for half damage)

Aura of Resistance (4 MP, range = caster only, duration 1 hour per level. Increases armour by 2 point. As an aura spell, is dispelled on contact by magic weapons. No character may carry more than a single aura spell at a time. Note that it does not stack with armour)

Well, the rulebook describes the aura as armour, and the fireball ignores all armour. So you could argue the aura doesn't work. However, there wouldn't be much point to aura spells if that were the case (and they already have numerous limitations). Plus there's no way I'm time spiralling that last scene to such an extent! It took me ages to do.

If I change the post so the fireballs properly ignore normal armour (Julian's shield will still count for its magical bonus of one), it means Admund takes a total of 6 wounds, Hans 7, and Julian 5. That's not enough to cause a critical on anyone, so should be OK. Is everyone alright with that?

Mortus only has 6 magic points remaining, by the way.

Sig · « **Reply #11911 on:** July 23, 2015, 09:49:59 AM »

Fine by me! He should hit like a ton of bricks.

commandant · « **Reply #11912 on:** July 23, 2015, 10:13:39 AM »

Mortus knows that but she is guessing the guys in the boat don't

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #11913 on:** July 23, 2015, 10:42:14 AM »

OK, I've fixed it so you take the correct amount of damage. Sorry!

Also, note that the boatmen started to run away before any of the fireballs went off.

Finlay · « **Reply #11914 on:** July 23, 2015, 11:43:12 AM »

Do we have to just run away?

we could try to strike to stun the dude in there and then kidnap him?

commandant · « **Reply #11915 on:** July 23, 2015, 11:55:37 AM »

Mortus is kinda hoping they'll not risk double fireballs and return.

Mortus could move to sleep whoever comes through the door.

Finlay · « **Reply #11916 on:** July 23, 2015, 12:03:35 PM »

I think the boat people are gone.

sleep and a quiuck steal sound good. although we will have to fight the dogs.

Not sure!

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #11917 on:** July 23, 2015, 12:56:56 PM »

Let's split! Max can pose as a seller of the Mortis Evilbook another time and we can try this again.

commandant · « **Reply #11918 on:** July 23, 2015, 01:03:14 PM »

I think Mortus may have fireballed the buyer

Finlay · « **Reply #11919 on:** July 23, 2015, 03:23:11 PM »

indeed

commandant · « **Reply #11920 on:** July 23, 2015, 03:35:01 PM »

It was a case of fireball or be fireballed

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #11921 on:** July 23, 2015, 03:42:17 PM »

Someone is still inside, maybe he is working with the buyer?

Sig · « **Reply #11922 on:** July 23, 2015, 08:08:12 PM »

Probably needed to capture the guy!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #11923 on:** July 23, 2015, 10:58:51 PM »

Oh no! A chase scene!

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #11924 on:** July 24, 2015, 12:34:28 AM »

Time for chase music! https://youtu.be/RseCnyjx5_U
