Dire Mouse Combat Log

[nat_1]

First, my apologies to the pug I flaked on. We hadn't started Irestone yet and I told them that had to enter combat with a mouse in the room and that they would probably have to boot me. I'm pretty sure from the glances at the chat before I timed out that they wiped on elite, so sorry about that one. I wanted to post this so maybe they would know I had a good reason.

I parsed the combat log from the battle last night. Much of the omitted material is me failing Spot and Search checks and attack rolls. This took over 90 minutes which makes it officially worse than Kobold Assault for XP/min. The enemy had Uncanny Dodge which let him take no damage on successful Reflex saves, of which there were many.

A legendary victory.
Bringing their guild (family) closer to having a vacuum dummy, garage cleaning trainer, and lesser dish washing shrine for their guild house-ship....
Good job!

Dude, that mouse whisker is the last piece I need to craft! What?! You're just passing it to your wife and not putting it up for roll?! *RAAAAGGGE*

[Lifeblood]

I normally don't rep for funny but you were creative also +1

[Kaeldur]

What dungeon are you crawling? I'm still too low level for Dire Mice, still hunting Cockroaches and Spiders...
Someday I'll be as awesome as you, sir!

[Terebinthia]

For spiders you need a Greatbroom.

OP, you forgot your Cast Envelopment (Teatowel). Works like a charm.

[Wizzly_Bear]

SS or it didn't happen

Very funny OP! Get any loot?

[HAL]

THIS IS HYSTERICAL! What made it all the better was the really authentic use of game terminology. Had a hard time not LOLing at work

Shoot, that's nothing! This was my reading material after lunch. I kept choking back laughs while in the can. If I was the guy in the next stall I would have been worried

[Eladiun]

Lol

I forgot a SS, but it looked pretty much like you would expect. Once the mouse was in our kids' toys it was like she ignored her size class. Was I going to tell my Diminutive Wife that she was lifting the table as if she was Gargantuan? Even with my Wisdom score I knew that would be a bad idea.

There is a tiny chest but I have no ranks in Open Lock (you know a rogue hireling would really help here, just saying). I'll SS the chest and the sword after work.
