All right, here we go... Sulara, Vonnn, Aurora (if FreeBird is posting) and Stanilus state next round's actions. Sulara, Vonnn and Aurora are in the front rank, with Stanilus and Osan behind them. Arkthren has stepped back and will be casting his spell, while Hempel was sneaking around (presumably ...

Sorry for the delays, I've been working on RL stuff for a while. For attack determination purposes: Arkthren=1; Aurora=2; Hemp=3; Osan=4; Stanilus=5; Sulara=6; Vonnn=7 I determined all of the rats' targets and attacks before realizing that the next round hadn't started (and initiative rolled). I'll...

Arranging for Alex's bout, the brewer tells the group to come back just after sundown- when the festivities and fisticuffs will begin. Sizing the opportunist up, Fulbrick assures Alex that he will find a man of suitable size, but mentions that the foreigner "looks like he can handle his self.&q...

I started book 6 and realized about 50 pages in that I didn't recognize anything they were talking about and I was completely lost. I let it go after that; it might have just been a bad day but I'd kind of lost my sympathy for all of the characters by then. That's just me though :) I'm glad for eve...

Should have put this in previous post Having dropped a torch down the new sinkhole, Osan and Stanilus see that the drop extends about thirty feet, just a little shorter than the first sinkhole's depth. At the bottom of the pit the two see rocks and debris, and a length of rope that seems to be the ...

Moving forward, Sulara and Vonnn meet the giant rats' directly, with Aurora on their left, hugging the northern wall. Hempel darts back, intent on pulling off some kind of scheme, while Arkthren backs away from the mass of creatures that are flooding in. Osan and Stanilus form a second rank, with St...

The party departs Master Willim's abode and heads over to the brewery, where Fulbrick the Brewer assured Isolde that she could obtain some simple leather armor. Entering the brewery, the companions note that yeasty smellin the air, like that of a bakery before the morning's bread has been put into t...

Giant ats' Initiative: [1d10] = 8 Sulara, Vonnn and Stanilus move forward, attmepting to defend the others from the horde of giant rats. Osan, grabbing a torch from Stanilus' supply, slows down the fighter as the Varner moves forward. Tied up momentarily, the two light a second torch and drop it do...

"Ah," Aldivan responds, seeing the avarice in Alex's eyes. "I cannot lend you my sword...Alex, is it? It is an heirloom of my father's family, and is considered more important than my own life- at least to my uncles and cousins." Seeing the disappointment in the thief's expressi...

"Significant? Aye, I would say significant," the half-elf says somewhat sarcastically...his regrets evident. "Glancing at the panels set into the shrine's wall, it was evident that they gave thanks to the Blessed Lord and to the Saviour of Souls...but that is expected at any elven te...

Spending some coin, the companions buy some drinks and listen to the tenor of the discussions held by the farmers and traders making up the Tankard's crowd. Overall, the group perceives that the inhabitants of the region are a fairly happy lot, but concerned about the banditry and humanoid raids tha...

Nah, the shrieking is still too loud. Seeing the swarm out of the corner of their eyes, the companions are ready for the little beasts when they swarm through the tunnel. A dozen strong and 30' away, they rush to attack the adventurers standing to the sides and rear of the group... Let me know what...

Sulara moves to the hole and peers down, but unfortunately sees that the rope which trails into the darkness has been frayed and is broken- terminating just a foot below the sinkhole's lip. Calling for some light, the group is busy discussing what to do when a swarm of giant rats erupts from the sec...

The party thanks Master Willim and appreciates it when he informs them that he is in no rush, and that it would be best if the group took measured strides in its searching. It would likely be more profitable to come up with a plan than simply walk out into the forest at random. Concerned about outfi...

Seeing that the tracks and marks only flow one direction the party proceeds out the diagonal tunnel, which continues its very gentle slope downward. With Stanilus continuing to hold the torch, Vonnn take the lead, searching the tunnel surfaces for any marks. Moving about thirty feet the party comes ...

Scanning the floor, it appears that more than one set of footprints left marks in the dust and dirt of the chamber. How long ago this occurred is not apparent, as no one within the group is trained to interpret such signs. Obscuring and mixed in with some of these tracks are giant rat prints, and so...

Explaining that his patient lost a great deal of blood and has been crippled by the attack of a mountain lion, Willim shakes his head and indicates that the group may interview Aldivan on the morrow- all this while mumbling something about brash youth. At this time Aldivan is sleeping and Willim is ...

"No, Isolde, I don't think that anyone in the region is interested in any shrines," Master Willim responds. "Of course, other than the one my patient came across no others have come to light in more than twenty years." "However," the master continues. "You need to...
