Crabgrass If the woman still has disguise makeup, that might be a useful tool at some point, especially if someone needs to play dead. I actioned searching the two deceased and will continue with the unconscious one. I will equip the daggers into my belt and strap their swords into my backpack. If ...

Xerxes

I scripted the prayer as his use of Luck points but if he can appeal to Deity help, risking divine blessing ir incurring some wrath, well here goes ...

Xerxes: piety check vs DC14+ [1d20]=20

Blaze Horner With one eye (his only one) fixed upon the guards, he may be more distracted by any intervention you wish to make. that is an invitation to trouble I think. :lol: "A spell-casting monk Cyclops? This guy is a wonder for sure." At least I think that is what has happened. Catchi...

Xerxes Xerxes: Luck (6) vs falling debris [1d20]=11 reflex dexterity dodge vs 8+ [1d20-1]=2-1=1 Dealing the final blow to the stone creature, he hopes he hasn't shattered his own hopes for salvation as debris and boulders fall around him. not sure if a quick prayer could blow through his Luck attri...

Xerxes

Xerxes: critical hit bonus: [1d4-1]=3-1=2

Xerxes: critical hit bonus damage: [1d4]=2

Jabs the creature, striking an eye socket, -2hp bonus damage.

Xerxes "Whoever took Wenceslas pickaxe, needs come and swing it with me!" The grave digger will hurry any fighter types to take on the stone golem before it wreaks havoc among us. Xerxes: swings his long shovel. [1d20+1]=20+1=21 [1d4+1]=3+1=4 "The ice toad-man can wait. Releasing him...

Crabgrass We should collect the swords and daggers of the three bandits, just so the coshed one doesn't cut himself free. "Put the dagger away. Enough death dealt by the cards of fate in this cave." he says, checking the cards in case one actually was bidding on a 'Deadman's hand' suit. I...

Blaze Horner Keeping to a good distance, preferably out of sight altogether until we near the Watchtower perimeter and can spy on them from a hidden spot. Blaze Horner: Ranger tracking skills: [1d100]=13 I don't mind retracing our steps as Hedrak mentioned, there could be some importance we discover.

Blaze Horner Watches the strange Cyclops go by. My instinct is to attack him, taking advantage of my 'ranger class vs humanoid/giant types' but I steady myself as much as Hedrak holds back his hound. However the figure does halt abruptly with his back to you about a medium bowshot away. He bends to...

Crabgrass "We took this one captive. I promised him a fair trial at the Keep. The two others ambushed us in the dark. Dubricus excelled to take them out." He will raise the man up to a sitting position, still tied to the chair. "Perhaps Dredd or Croebus can check the knots I tied him...

Blaze Horner If anything suggests evil, humanoid cult leader then this image might be just that. The movevaway from the Cyclops as an ogrish brute to this makes us think of a different challenge. Robes and staff, arcanist style? A mage or priest? I will ask Divadroy if the bugbears know of this fig...

Xerxes Has the feeling he has stepped inside a huge mouth, the walls being cheeks and the yellowed runes threatening to become gnashing teeth. A block of ice rather than glass. Suggests it should be thawed out and what is cryogenically frozen within may be released. Is this room very chilly and fre...

Xerxes "Well either we step forward to be chomped up and spat out or regurgitated elsewhere." He hesitates to consider a exiting through a 'back passage'. He goes in, spade first. Zygmund "Mind the tongue ... is that a Roper on the ceiling or one of those little gurgley thingies at t...

Blaze Horner I suppose I favoured a direct approach, especially if there are just two of them and with our Bugbear translator, they consider us in friendly terms. However I am aware it was a leper Bugbear victim of a lynching near to the druids place. So scouting the village to see if renegades are...

our most qualified experts on great wizards already were slaughtered. Zygmund coughs, shuts his grimoire and carries on up the blue, etheral stairs. Xerxes , "Well let's be having you. We lost good fellows and comrades to free you. So bear their sacrifice in mind and say a prayer for their sou...

Crabgrass

I would go right, hoping to catch any sleepers still asleep. Just in case they are still awake and expecting intruders.

Crabgrass: melee Quarterstaff: [1d20]=11 [1d6]=4

He remembers to lift a metal finger to his lips, gesturing Dubricus to "Hush".

No worries. I am sure that if a game developed there would be sufficient interest to try it out.

Nice! I much prefer that the Jacobite rebellion to the American Civil War. It would be a challenge. Though named after the Stirling Castle (and not Sterling, the currency), I am not too well versed in actual Highlander or Jacobite lore beyond stuff like the Glencoe massacre, the Highland clearances...
