Curious, Razluki will join the others at the north side of the hill.

Murq snatches the mace from an unresisting Jed's belt and moves towards the nude figure. "Mind if I borrow this, lad?" He swings hard at the figure with both mace and shield, trying to bring it down to the floor. Jed meanwhile boldly brandishes his holy symbol, "In Nergal's name, depa...

HP, whistling an off key and slightly mad-sounding tune, pauses in between hammer blows on the crumbling wall. "Say, Master Jed, care to explain what that heretic business was all about?" "I'm not sure, well, that is to say, I believe they were creatures of Orcus and Set. They're the...

The priest, Razluki, takes a seat near the fire in hopes the smoke will ward off the bulk of the buzzing pests. He sets to inspecting his gear, ensuring everything is properly packed, straps cinched tight.

Jed's Saving Throws: 13 and 18. If the target is different from last time, he'll burn luck (up to 5 points). The battle done, Murq quietly wipes the oil off himself, and whatever bits of dust were left by the creatures on his spear. Jed, suffering badly from the unholy touch of whatever-those-were,...

I think Level 1 Dwarves shield bash on a d14, but I could be wrong? Crap, I knew that, but posting after a long day I had a brain-fart :/. Murq's Fort Save: 17 (d20) + 0 = 17 Jed's Fort Save: 7 (d20) + 2 = 9 Hmm, Jed has 10 Luck currently, and he'll burn whatever he must to make that save. Murq see...

Murq goes after the remaining foe, attacking with his spear but rather than thrust with it, he swings the shaft at the monstrosities legs, bashing at it with his shield. Meanwhile, Jed turns to Cisneros, touching him while speaking a brief prayer to Nergal. Murq's attacks: Spear: 10 + 1 (Str) + 1 (D...

Jed's sling falls to the ground as he releases it in favour of his skull-topped mace, a symbol holy to his god. Brandishing it in front of him, he yells "Your existence is an affront to Nergal! Begone!"

Turn Unholy: 13 + 1 (CL) - 1 (Per) = 13

So, in this case, I could draw a weapon holy symbol while moving standing more or less still and attack turn unholy. Correct?

Jed notes the bloodless spears being withdrawn from the bodies of his foes, drops his sling to the ground as he takes his skull-topped mace, a symbol of his god, in hand. Murq again thrusts his spear at the foe-man he previously struck, then bashes at either the same foe or, if he's fallen, the foe ...

Initiative 17 Murq attempts to find a spot in the front line, shield held in front of him, spear leveled at the approaching figures. There he holds his ground, ready to strike if the figures get to close. Jed takes up a position loosely behind Murq, putting his skull mace back on his belt and ready...

Jed and Murq head on down. When they get to the bottom, Murq will take his spear and shield in hand. Jed takes his shield in his left hand, but assumes his holy symbol may be of more immediate use, and take it in his right. While getting himself battle-ready, ensuring everything is strapped down and...

Jed crouches down a couple meters back from the pile of skulls, peering at the pile and comparing what he sees before him with what he read in the Book.

Raven Crowking wrote:Is everyone ready?

Almost. Was Murq successful in this?

Jed accepts the Lords offer, but only takes the armor and shield from the Bailiff, the use of a spear being proscribed and preferring his mace to a short-sword.

Murq tries to sell or trade his mithril bar for weapons and armor.

Yup, Jed's back, along with Murq.

Just to double-check something, RC, can I assume the Lord's offer is extended to returnees from earlier expeditions as well?

Jed, will avoid letting villagers see the book or mace so as not to feed the mutters. With some time to kill, he'll start reading the book seeking some insights into the worship of Nergal. He'll also talk to the tanner about the price of a sheet of leather large enough to wrap up the book. He knows ...
