Hey all, I've gotta apologize for my extended absence recently - life/work is getting turned upside down for a while and I should have seen it coming and let everyone know. I'll be out for another while, but would really love to come back. If it's alright with you, please feel free to NPC my charact...

Still here! I like the kobold idea, though it'll take a bit of strategy - I seem to remember them having us in a bit of a stalemate the last time. Perhaps we go at them from another direction?

"Damn. We had better expect reinforcements soon."

Orrin looks to the others, appraising their situation.

Arnulf readies himself to follow, but won't step on the line until it's clear.

"What do you mean? That's not right. You're talking about...oh..." Arnulf turns a bright pink and becomes suddenly very interested in looking at the nearby stonework.

Orrin tries to get his own bow out to take a shot.

If he can see the retreating gnoll, he'll fire. Also, he'll bark out what he does see to the others.

Short bow: attack [1d20] = 8 damage [1d6] = 4

Arnulf rubs his belly contemplatively. "I know how she feels. I'm always hungry. While she masticates we should use the distraction to take her other rations away. And hide ours. Call it an intervention."

Satisfied that Bertram is stable and reasonably safe, Orrin stands up. He brings his sword and shield into position and advances down the hall behind Lug and Galan, ready to step in if possible.

That kind of thinking really dispels the idea that high level play would be boring. Imagine the Tucker's kobolds idea applied to other sort...

Silent offers a hand to Neegan when he hauls himself from the pit. He looks down into the pit and then at their surroundings. He looks around for some kind of stick that he can use to poke at the ground in front of him as they walk.

Arnulf throws his pudgy hands up in the air and begins loudly intoning various dramatic syllables. "Ohhhhmmmmm....homina homina homina.....ohhhhhhmmm..." As his hands reach for the sky he shakes them and then proceeds to awkwardly get himself down to his knees, lowering his arms to the flo...
