Sorry, yeah, that was a typo. You would need some form of magical blindsense that worked by say detecting life (or in this case non-life) force or thoughts or something else. As an extraordinary ability I feel its reasonable to say that you can't smell the ghost or hear it when its not trying to make any sounds, thus your ability doesn't work against it.

And all of those d20s I kept rolling before? Those were its hide checks when it was lurking about the windows of the houses to target all of you. I also rolled for Volemack's spot check as he's really the only one to have a hope in hell of seeing it unless a 1 was rolled.

I just can't win.

No, you can't win

As far as threats go, I've seen better there Volemack. Still, nicely done Nitram.

Six year olds: Not the most intimidating shit out there.

Yes, lets scare the already clearly terrified ghost.

So four turns until I can turn around right?

The cleric better start praying because the first fleshy thing Eight comes across is going to experience pain that has never been dealt out from construct to squishy thing.

Yeah, you've got about four more turns before the panic will fade and you will realize you've just run out into the middle of a field in the dark by yourself when there are ghosts around... and possibly whatever made the ghost.

This is why I'm trying the unique tactic of talking.

Okay, specifically, I'm bluffing.

Probably very badly.

But dammit, I'm no good at whack-a-mole!

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 8:16 pm

When you read the rules, incorporeal creatures can be absolutely a bitch to fight because they can hide in the floors, ceilings, and walls and force you to play whack-a-mole with them. Spring Attack and the right terrain is absolutely monstrous.

Also, your tactic might have some merit, but unfortunately for you, Charon's right in that the ghost is obviously scared of you, so congratulations on painting a bullseye on your forehead.

And this is why I took a weapon with Ghost Strike

Charon · Post by **Charon** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 8:19 pm

Eight has a solution for that whack-a-mole situation! Simply destroy everything and there will be nothing left for the ghost to hide in.

As for the creator of that ghost. Eight needs to get some of his pride back... Even if he might still be slightly skittish.

Why do you think I tried a disarm attempt on you? Although Fehl is next on the agenda in the ghost's mind... right after dealing with the scary six year old... unless of course something else happens.

Also, Eight's solution would make combat difficult as reducing the planet to the fine vapour sufficient to deny the ghost room to hide in does not give one a place to stand.

And that is when the glorious machine race will rise up from the ashes of the old world! We shall be the only survivors due to our lack of needing to breath or eat or sleep. And then we shall build a new world where we shall be the masters!

BWAHAHAHAHHA!

I've got to give you points for ambition at least.

Rogue 9 · Post by **Rogue 9** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 9:31 pm

I'm assuming the ghost is within sight and within 60 feet of Bartel. If one of those conditions is not true, then I need a new plan.

If those conditions are true, then the ghost needs to start fleeing if its hit dice plus turn resistance are nine or less.

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 10:35 pm

Well, its turned now, fled away where you can't see it and running for all its worth, but once the turning wears off it can return when you don't know where it is.

*Inexplicably, a cookie falls from the sky before Volemack*

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 10:52 pm

So Fehl is moving towards the church? Or is he actually going up to the doors to open them up? And doesn't he still have shocking grasp and chill touch active?

rhoenix · Post by **rhoenix** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 10:53 pm

I know...but sadly, it's what Fehl would do.

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 11:25 pm

Knowledge: Religion checks if you've got them to try and identify the beastie the ghost was trying to keep you away from.

For the naseau:

For the hypnotism:

Dorf. I screwed that up.

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 11:37 pm

Yeah, I was going to say that doesn't look right there.

Fortitude Save versus stench (DC 18):

Will Save versus hyponotism (DC 16):

Wrong order. Oh dear.
