Re: Discussion (out of character thread)

Really not in the headspace for this for the foreseeable future. Working very hard which involves a lot of screen time reading and writing. No worries. You are welcome to bounce in and out as needed. I like to keep the old school, pick-up game spirit alive so play when and if you can, your spot is ...

Re: Watchfort Reclamation, Summer 668

Barnaby says quietly, "If there was anything dangerous beyond this door it must have noticed the sound of battle." Then he looks to see which way the eastern door can open.

Re: Discussion (out of character thread)

The Rona is back... Eek. I am deep into litigation and have not even been on the board for a while. If I'm absent for anything here's how to NPC my guys. Barnaby inspires allies and protects anyone who gets wounded. He's the line you can retreat behind. Dramm steps to the front. Sengrim hides and sh...

Re: Discussion (out of character thread)

I think I may have posted my response to the wrong thread? Just now in Watchfort Reclamation but I don't see that anyone else had rolled yet.

Despite the low overhead and scant elbowroom, Barnaby whirs his sling.



Sengrim's crossbow functions in the tight space.

Re: Game. On the Road in Thaemor.

Hopkirk STR: [_2d6]=(4+4)=8 Realising Rendar has the right of it, he dashes to join him and the cover of the crawler. At zero HD the expected result of a STR roll (6 - 9) is that you can't fight anymore. Better is that you regain 1 HD. Worse is that you're seriously injured. Worser is dead. So in t...

Re: Game. On the Road in Thaemor.

276453 None of the margr rolled high enough to beat Janks' armor so I won't worry with the WIT rolls - I will say that the margr who rolled a 1 is out of stones ... Several stones "ping" off the side of the crawler but Janks stays low and avoids harm. 276454 276456 A stone rattles against...

Re: Watchfort Reclamation, Summer 668

Dramm says quietly to Barnaby " and what do ya think of that, milord? " with a slight nod toward Morwen and her skeletons. Barnaby shrugs but leans toward Jing . " Captain, I do not know much about the undead, though I do know that the Ancient grants some priests the power to repel o...

Re: Game. On the Road in Thaemor.

That actually was a rule for the margr - they're shooting at Janks, who has cover. They're in open, it's WITless to hit them. But a "2" doesn't beat unarmed AC, so your target survives.

Re: Game. On the Road in Thaemor.

The sun must have risen or almost, somewhere beyond the rain clouds. There is a greyish light that shows you all that a scattering of about eight or ten margr, armed with slings, are whizzing stones at Janks. His position stop the crawler, lying down, makes him a small target. shooting at someone wi...

Re: Game. On the Road in Thaemor.



Janks awakens you by shouting "Up! A l'armes!" you hear his weapon firing a staccato, and you hear a goatish shriek.


Where are you?

Re: Watchfort Reclamation, Summer 668

Leaving the breezy hillside, Barnaby and his two henchmen entered the chamber where Morwen was preparing her spell. They stood quietly, weapons in hands.

Re: Watchfort Reclamation, Summer 668

Dramm and Barnaby are playing at lots with Sengrim on the hillside, their armor clad and weapons close to hand. Frequently they look up from the game to scan the horizon. " No temper for a nasty webby hole like of that, " the halfling says lightly at one point, apropos of nothing in the c...

Re: Game. On the Road in Thaemor.

Certainly, you can fiddle with this poorly-understood technology. IF you choose to do so, make a WITS roll. I'm going to bend the rules a little and tell you that Expected is that you get it to stop ... until you fix it (another WITS roll). Worse is you get it to stop for good. What are worser and ...

Re: Game. On the Road in Thaemor.

The dancing margr recede as the crawler lurches onward. Eventually, night falls. The land at this point is grey and rugged and covered with scraggly brown thorn bushes, among which the road staggers side to side. The dismal cold drizzle has started again. It is a salient feature of Thaemor, though n...

Re: Game. On the Road in Thaemor.

The road goes northeast from the farm stead. You follow it in morning mist and then the sky clears around mid day, so that the sun shines unusually warmly on this part of Thaemor. About mid afternoon you see figures cavorting at the edge of a woodland to the right side of the road, about a half mile...
