Torgyr warms himself, briskly rubbing his hands together.

"I suppose we'd better take care of these beasts before venturing further up the mountain. Which direction do they seem to be coming from? Any particular time of day best for spotting thrm?"

It could, if the effects wore off at an inconvenient moment...

Finding himself suddenly facing down a foe many times his size, Orrin grits his teeth and lunges forward, hoping to hamstring the giant.

{Longsword} Attack: [1d20 +1] = 3+1 = 4, Damage: [1d8+1] = 7+1 = 8

Honestly. I can't roll for anything these days.

Silent would go with Fingers to the tower. Not sure where Silent went off to recently, but he would probably surface about when it was time to go.

Torgyr looks in the direction of the mountain.

"Aye. Let's go see if those stonemasons knew enough to shore up the slope before putting any load on those exterior walls. At least it should keep us dry for a while. Before it falls over, that is."

Orrin moves ahead and stands with Lug, attempting to mount an assault on the giant. He fails spectacularly.

{Longsword} Attack: [1d20 +1] = 3+1 = 4, Damage: [1d8+1] = 7+1 = 8

Well done, sir. All good by me.

Stat boost attempt (CON 7) [1d20] = 9


Woo! Wait, so which gets applied first...the HP roll or the stat roll? (He said, sneakily hoping for the latter... )

Arnulf does little to hide his indignation at the affrontery.

"To hell with that guy. He's barely older than I am. What could he possibly be wise in, apart from the art of liberating a lass from her knickers? Arse."

Level 3 HD: [1d6-1] = 3-1 = 2



Heheh...

Gaeron's ragged breathing diminishes to an inaudible whisper, then stops altogether.

Save vs Death (12): [1d20] = 5

I suppose given the layout, Orrin has no choice but to hack at the Orc, though if it falls before he gets a swing in, he'd try to hit the giant instead of reachable. Orrin finally feels warmed up and his sword sings in his hands. {Longsword} Attack: [1d20 +1] = 17+1 = 18, Damage: [1d8+1] = 4+1 = 5

drpete- I have a levelling question: the Players Companion doesn't give any indication as to the progression of proficiencies for the additional classes...would Torgyr follow the thief progression and gain a new one at level 4, or the Dwarven vault guard progression and gain at level 3? I'm a little...

Same here - life caught up with me. No worries, we'll be here and ready to go when you are!

Orrin turns to slashing at the Orc instead of jabbing, but is equally ineffective with the change.

{Longsword} Attack: [1d20 +1] = 9+1 = 10, Damage: [1d8+1] = 8+1 = 9

Arnulf clears his throat.

"I might be able to identify that scroll..." He's looking wistfully at some of the items laid out.

Arnulf has about 1000gp stashed away. He'll want that fireball scroll one of these days.

I also vote to return.

Snarling, Orrin presses in closer to the Orc, jabbing hard with his sword.

{Longsword} Attack: [1d20 +1] = 10+1 = 11, Damage: [1d8+1] = 6+1 = 7
