[Audyssey] A question about turn-based combat in Entombed
Hi Folks, Had some hardcore preparation to be done last night, so I did what any good procrastinator would do, downloaded Entombed and ended up running on 3 hours sleep and practically no preparation today. I really should get control over my gaming lol. Anyway, this is my first foray into the world of roleplay strategy type stuff, and so far I'm totally addicted. The thing that puzzled me though was that whenever I encounter an enemy or a group of them, I'd check the battle timeline, and couldn't really spot the logic that determines it each time. Plus I'm reasonably sure that sometimes it seemed much longer than others until it was my turn again. Of course this could be because it was stupid O'clock and I was impatient to get on with rat smiting, but if someone could explain the logic of turn-based I'd really appreciate it, think I'd have a better grasp of strategies for each situation then.

Re: [Audyssey] A question about turn-based combat in Entombed
the battle timeline is set according to speed. faster enemies go first at the end o the slowest ones such as ogres. so let's say there are 4 enemies. lightning joe fastest, killer eddie fast, crack smasher (you the player) and death truck slowest. they'd go in this order, first lightning, then eddie, then you, and then truck. hth and happy killing/questing what ever. - Original Message - From: Scott Chesworth scottcheswo...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, November 11, 2009 7:14 PM Subject: [Audyssey] A question about turn-based combat in Entombed Hi Folks, Had some hardcore preparation to be done last night, so I did what any good procrastinator would do, downloaded Entombed and ended up running on 3 hours sleep and practically no preparation today.

Re: [Audyssey] A question about turn-based combat in Entombed
Cool, thanks for clearing that up. While I've got ya, do you happen to know how on earth I get back out of the town? I've been to the tavern and accepted a quest, been to the store and sold off some random stuff I picked up and bought a rather swanky new sword hehe, just can't see an option to leave and get on with some more killing.

Re: [Audyssey] A question about turn-based combat in Entombed
Hi. the battle timeline is worked out on the relative speed at which everyone can attack, thus if your fighting something fast you might not get as many hits in. also, if you use abilities in combat like flurry or hide, you have to wait longer for your next turn. Hth. Beware the gRue!
