A dry heat hits Thag's face as he enters the short corridor. Away from the dancing lights, he can see the deep orange glow emanating from the large hole in the floor's center. Bubbling magma or molten metal sizzles within. Across the room, four kobolds have stopped in their tracks. A moment passes ...

I’ll stay the course.

Doing your best to follow the trail of kobold and child footprints as they become lost in the leaves... Opposed Scout vs 2 dice. Alfred rubs a deer antler on his hat, tosses some blades of grass into the air, lays on the ground to get a closer look, sniffs a little, tastes the dirt, and says, "...

Alas, the trapdoor doesn't budge. It might be locked, and it's certainly warped by the damage. Even the metal apparatus is melted, so picking the lock isn't an option. On the other hand, there don't appear to be any traps, as there isn't much space to hide them in the barren, sooty floor. Does anyo...

Right. I want to retain my quite trait for later.

Kobold traps tend to be simple, but effective. I'll be lookin' over your shoulder fer anythin' odd. And resisting the urge to say "I'll be standing waaay over here". If'n the cellar door is trapt, it'll probably be either rigged to collapse, or maybe have a trip wire attached. Okay, let m...

Alfred turns to see Thag motioning him back. Oh, bother! He returns to the party gathered around the trapdoor. You want me to go in there? I'm no dirt-covered dwarf, but if that's what you want, I'm game.

Allric smiles confidently at his companions. "Your Lords of Light shine auspiciously, Bandy, to allow us to resolve this mystery. Kobolds may be a match for children but not for such as we," he says, nodding surely. "Note that Thag found no footprints of grown men or larger threats. ...

Alfred the Unread is uncharacteristically ready to continue tracking.

While he is looking around for tracks leading away from the ruin, Alfred pokes around inside. I wonder how long ago this building burnt down. I am looking for clues as to who lived here, whether other children were here, etc. In particular, I am looking to see if there is an entrance to a cellar.

Rabon whispers to Thag and Berry, Can't be easy t' blend in with them antlers on his head. I bet he wears 'em t' make his ears look normal. He falls into line as the elf leads the way forward. Well, I'm much better at finding a trail through uncharted wilderness (Pathfinder) than tracking someone a...

I hate to do this after just joining the group, but I'll be without internet connectivity until Friday. I am okay if Bill wants to handle my character's hunting and other activities while I am away.

588 was correct.

[5d6s4] = 2


So is that the think I am supposed to include as the die roll.

What is the Campaign ID for the dice rolling thingy?

I do have a bow in my hand.

Verizon failed me this week. I had no Internet until today. I work from home, so I have been hanging out a Chic-Fil-A to use the wifi. In addition, though I have subscribed to the Session 4 list, I wasn't getting notifications. Not sure why. Anyway, I posted something to the in-character thread. Wha...

I (Alfred the Unready) have just been following along, trying not to make waves, since I don't really know the party. But I am getting hungry. I take the Pathfinder's suggestion and thinking about hunting for game. Exercising my survivalist skills, I search for a game trail. I move quietly [quiet tr...

Hello, I have been invited to participate in a Torchbearer game by a buddy who is already in the forum. I have played a lot of fantasy role playing games over the years. I have not played Torchbearer.
