Re: OOC Discussion

Seems like we may be quiet around Thanksgiving? [American Thanksgiving, that is; I'm not sure where everyone is located.] I'd like to update my character sheet, with a mount, saddlebags, etc. You had some good suggestions for noting personal encumbrance. Any preferences or suggestions for noting mou...

Re: Chapter 2: Bandit Hunting

The moss and overgrown vegetation -- is this ruin less desert-like? Any signs of water or a well? Should we search for another entrance, wait out and ambush this entrance, or send in scouts?

Re: Chapter 2: Bandit Hunting

Desert take you, serpent! That won’t happen again.
Aghilas lets his momentum carry him right into the next bandit, aiming to skewer him.

Aghilas would like to “cut” himself free of the circle of bandits, even if he ends up with the bandits between him and the others.

Re: Chapter 2: Bandit Hunting

Aghilas enters a lesser berserkergang and attacks the bandit in front of him.

Re: Chapter 2: Bandit Hunting

Aghilas will set a spear for any charges, in front of our group. After a round or two of missiles or spells, or receiving a charge, Aghilas will join the melee.

Re: Chapter 2: Bandit Hunting

Let’s have a look at this ruined temple and surrounding terrain. Ambushing emerging bandits may work. With their numbers, they’ll need food, perhaps? I wonder if these are simple bandits or not.

Re: Chapter 2: Bandit Hunting

Interesting visions.

Aghilas has decent gp available for upkeep -- I was going to ask about the horse upkeep?

Also, do I need to "re-up" the extra for an XP bonus?

Sorry to hear about sulldawga.

Re: Chapter 2: Bandit Hunting

Aghilas was speaking to Jaskar as they walked from the stables to the tower. Aghilas keeps his distance from the tower.

Re: Chapter 2: Bandit Hunting

Jaskar said ... maybe they are desperate for food.

That is an interesting thought. These people may have chosen a poor place to live, but the local leaders seem ... disinterested and weak, hiding in their tower.

Re: Chapter 2: Bandit Hunting

Aghilas observes folk arriving at the inn, but when the drinks begin flowing, he retires to the stable to tend to his horse, clean and inspect the bandit gear he claimed, and sleep. Before laying down, he quietly asks the Lion spirit to watch over and protect his mother until he returns. When Aghil...

Re: Chapter 2: Bandit Hunting

Aghilas looks over the gathered bandits' gear. I could possibly put these to good use. Until I can afford better.

Aghilas will take a shield, short sword, short bow and quiver of arrows, if they are of standard quality, slinging them on his horse for now.

Re: Chapter 2: Bandit Hunting

Aghilas rides closer, to hear the captives speak.
What do we know of the settlement the captive mentioned, Rangu? Are the captives/dead guards all Kuntani? If times passes without any new threat, Aghilas dismounts to look for and recover his javelins that missed.

Re: Chapter 2: Bandit Hunting

Aghilas tugs the reins of his horse to move past the melee, to the side of the canyon opposite the side we entered, to ensure no bandit escapes. He readies another javelin.

Re: Chapter 2: Bandit Hunting

Aghilas can fight on horseback (light warhorse). His missile weapon is javelins. He is about +2 better in melee, but can hang back if the plan calls for it.

Re: Chapter 2: Bandit Hunting

Aghilas dismounts and walks forward as the others move into position. He stops to give the group time, speaking quietly to his horse as he rubs its neck. Our first battle together. Afterward, I shall name you. Aghilas remounts, takes the reins in one hand, and his spear in the other. Aghilas intend...

Re: Chapter 2: Bandit Hunting

Aghilas observes the group's actions from the end of their column, confident he can charge forward if needed. He assumes we have been spotted as well, and shifts from side to side looking for signs of danger from the sides or rear.

Re: Prolog/Chapter 1: The Company forms

Aghilas accepts his friend's offer with glee, but says I will need saddlebags as well, if you have any to sell.

To his mother he says Do not worry, I do not expect to be gone long. But in case I am delayed a week or three, take this to keep you until I return. He hands her 35gp.

Re: OOC Discussion

Aghilas asks his friend the Bedi horse trainer about commissioning a light warhorse. He says he can pay up front. Also, he asks if he might borrow a light riding horse until his warhorse is trained. He will leave the value of the riding horse on deposit, in case anything happens. Also, Aghilas woul...

"Rrrmm." Aghilas leaves the cover to stand near Willow, although not too close to the Kuntani sorcerer.
