Halfpint asks the others to determine the safest spot to sleep, but first she wants to try something.
She casually clicks her boots 3 times together.

No worries. I'll be out for the holidays but may be able to sneak a post in before Monday.

Halfpint flips open her headlamp as the shadows grow darker. She asks the others, especially ones more familiar with forestry how best to circumvent the brambles. Going through or around? She is hoping around is the choice, as she hates cutting through even more branches.

Halfpint nervously agrees. Her inactivity over the past few weeks is showing, as she couldnt even cut a root. She worries what might else attack them on their way.
Once all are ready, they will continue.

Ardium is blissfully glad to be beyond striking range of that copper headed snake. 6 feet is longer than he ever heard of. That worries him about what else might be out here.
He eats his rations, hoping that they dont attract slithering things.

deducted 4 rations.

oh well. I played the odds ... and lost.
initiative [1d6] = 2

Halfpint continues slashing with her half-sized sword, but to little avail.
short sword (thac0 16) [1d20+3] = 7+3 = 10; [1d6+1] = 2+1 = 3



someone other than me, please roll for init, please...

Geoffrey accepts his duties onboard the Coalfish.

Charisma is self-reinforcing. If you have it, everyone likes you, so you're friendlier, so everyone likes you, so you're friendlier. It's a virtuous circle. It also works the other way around. What in the heck are you talking about? Markd is nice to everyone. Hell, he even tolerated that son of a b...

Do you have recruiting available? I thought you were limited? Markd really cant try to.

Once Ardium recognizes the snakes path is not in conflict with his own, he moves a head, keeping as much distance as he can from that slithering annoyance.

Halfpint takes her sword and tries to pierce a root.
short sword (thac0 16) [1d20+3] = 10+3 = 13; [1d6+1] = 3+1 = 4

Geoffrey, upon being interviewed, confidently mentions, " I have made no secret my disdain for the man who holds the crown over his head. If this plot helps to hasten his fall, I am but one man but willing to die for it. I dont recall what notariety I have, but here is a base level one. de: bas...

Halfpint will not attack this round, as others are flinging things in. Melee exposes her to friendly fire and ranged exposes Fairfax.

Sorry, I took them diving into our camp circle as being in melee range. If they are actually in arrow range, I hope they are separated enough for friendly fire.


Also, assuming any of them get within a field goal try of Owen:
1st[1d20] = 15;[1d6] = 1 2nd[1d20] = 12;[1d6] = 2

Markd groggily grabs his staff he conveniently slept beside and swats at the first howler. Staff (thac0 14) [1d20+5] = 19+5 = 24 ; damage [1d8+5] = 8+5 = 13 and again though this time with much less focus. Staff (thac0 14) [1d20+5] = 2+5 = 7 ; damage [1d8+5] = 3+5 = 8 init- Initiative [1d6] = 3

fyi- once I get caught up, I am hopeful to reanimate(?) Geoffrey Blood. Any help in skipping the learning curve, the better...

Ardium slowly looks around for it, knowing to be still is the best defense against snakes.
