Re: Discussion (out of character thread)

Oh, yeah, Si-woo's life is hanging in the balance, Hemia is wondering what's going on with him off with two beautiful elf maidens, Ji-ho is trying to figure how how to contribute to the small war that's brewing, and you're off galivanting around! :mrgreen: Enjoy! We really could not have planned be...

Re: Discussion (out of character thread)

Re: Brigand Hunt, Late Summer 668

Since these are the handpicked best men for this mission they have heavy hunting bows made to bring down deer and wolf. Equivalent to crossbows. I have to fix the ranged weapons table. Evelyn can also cast Sharpness to turn 20 normal arrows temporarily into magic arrows. With a good ambush you can ...

Re: Watchfort Reclamation, Summer 668

Perseverence pays off and on the 20th day of being knee deep in leech-infested muck, Bofur pulls gold tiara set with gems out of the mire. From there it becomes extremely lucrative. Bofur Skill Roll [2d6]=9 Does he still get the +2? Bofur Skill Roll [2d6]=9 Oh yes. That 4 from last time was a 6, whi...

Re: Brigand Hunt, Late Summer 668

Jing Si-woo "The message must get through to Sir Tylar , otherwise all of his people and mine will die," Si-woo said quietly. He readied his bow and looked at the ladies. "Help me intercept the wargs, and then you must help the others escape. I am the slowest and most obvious, and a ...

Re: Watchfort Reclamation, Summer 668

did i miss what the result of this was? While other things are going on... Bofur and his henchdwarves as well as any men healthy enough to be spared have had limited success searching the marshes.

Re: Watchfort Reclamation, Summer 668

The Ancient Enmity of Dwarves toward Orcs is well known. The mere mention of them being nearby causes them to reflexively reach for their weapons. Gurav spits, "Grobi scum in the overworld by day is ill news. Something nasty must be pushing them on, only the black magic of Zhar can compel them ...

Re: Brigand Hunt, Late Summer 668

"I saw three, but there are never only three, Robyn says. The messengers leave quickly and with Si-woo's decision the rest of the group begins to slip away. The first few minutes are tense as they blend into the dappled shadows but as they add distance they feel more confident. Then the howl o...

Re: Brigand Hunt, Late Summer 668

The messengers leave on swift mounts, Sir Tylar lends steeds to the infantrymen. They are unaccustomed to the saddle and will be quite sore by the end of the day. But it is good that they were mounted as the small number of them spy a band of Orcs moving toward them at midday to the north of the ro...

the sack does not return. Only the marvelous sword. It has excellent balance and holds an edge sharp enough to shave.

Re: Watchfort Reclamation, Summer 668

A summary of Morwen's dealings with her mentor. Morwen readies to depart midmorning, after the fog lifts, on Macnav's advice. Travelling with just their own light loads they can make it back to Ravenswell well before nightfall so no need to risk the mists. All is going apace with Macnav handing the...

Re: Brigand Hunt, Late Summer 668

Silence means agreement, so moving on! Jing Si-woo gathers his compatriots and readies to go out scouting. Sir Tylar sends hobilars to Ravenswell and then on to Springkeep to alert them of the operation. None of his men know where the lost dwarf-fort is or he could send someone there as well, but a...

The most likely option is they are out digging in the marsh to find the fallen treasures.
Roll your skill at +2 to see how well you have been doing.

Re: Brigand Hunt, Late Summer 668

If there are no objections the plan will be: Si-woo goes scouting with his crew plus the Elves while Jared takes some of the braver troops to be a vanguard and threaten an assault but not launch it until after the scouts are back.

Re: Brigand Hunt, Late Summer 668

Sir Tylar will take your advice. As PCs would you prefer to have a short adventure with a small group (ie you and henchmen) and then maybe have large unit action or handle this as a Battle with your adventure wrapped into a scouting phase then mass combat resolution?
