NARRATOR

Ater everyone is provisioned and ready to go the team meets up with Delwin Orcsbane outside of town as instructed. Delwin hands each party member a Dwarven Runes stone of Foe Warning. He explains that as long as you are alive and in this dimension, no matter how far away this stone will glow whenever a foe attacks you for everyone else that has a stone synced to your own. He then hands each party member one potion of heal (Yes I said HEAL, so use it wisely!). After gifts for the journey have been given he says;

DELWIN ORCSBANE
" Lets get this show on the road! everyone follow me and me scout. He will lead us to the rendezvous spot for my forward deployed army building the rafts at the rivers edge. I have arranged for a Dwarven built version of your longship be made for us to cross the river in. You can pilot the vessel yes? Anyways lets move!

Delwin and Horik lead the party through the wood lands. It will take two days to travel to the rivers edge.

Travel Encounters
1d6 x 6 = Synthalus rolls 6d6 and gets 2,4,4,2,6,6
There are no encounters over the two days travel. Night time encounters in the woods are voided do to two scouts and a Pict Barbarian in the group. Three plus scout classes always allows safe sleep locations to be found.

The Forgewash River is massive. None of the PC's have ever seen a river so wide that moves so fast before. There is a miniature Version of the Deep-Chaser moored along the shoreline with twelve dwarven guards awaiting the PC's arrival. They turn the boat over to the PC's and Their Leader Delwin Orcsbane. The PC's and delwin along with his scout companion board the Vessel and begin to cross the river.

All PC's crossing the river must make three out of six Strength checks to cross the river without drifting down stream. For every missed STR check a PC makes the Ship will drift down stream half a mile.

Bilit Taauth, Atlantean Witch

Strength Check (13): [1d20] = 8; [1d20] = 18; [1d20] = 6
Strength Check (13): [1d20] = 1

Got my three. I'm assuming the strength checks are for rowing to make sure we don't lose ground to the current?

While not used to such physical tasks, Bilit manages to take her place at the oars and uses her willowy frame to advantage, relying on technique rather than brute strength to help propel the ship along.

Morag Mac Tharn, pict savage:

A man of few words, the pict savage silently brought his wiry strength to bear to help fight the mighty current.

Strength test: [1d20] = 8, [1d20] = 17, [1d20] = 13
Strength test: [1d20] = 15, [1d20] = 1, [1d20] = 4

Morag's Strength is 15. Got 5 out of 6, with one roll a critical success. Can that roll undo a friend's failed roll, if we get one?

Horik like a king passes all checks
STR: 15 [1d20] = 12
STR: 15 [1d20] = 15
STR: 15 [1d20] = 8
STR: 15 [1d20] = 9
STR: 15 [1d20] = 2
STR: 15 [1d20] = 14

I'll except that inferno

sheamus / jester
str 10
crazy_ski_1701 rolls 6d20 and gets 1,6,5,6,12,15.

Zerro / fenris / claric

crazy_ski_1701 rolls 6d20 and gets 20,1,17,12,19,9.

good / good

Torvald's muscles strain as he strives against the rivers current, driving the boat to the opposite shore.

strength check (17): [1d20] = 8

strength check (17): [1d20] = 1

strength check (17): [1d20] = 2


3 for 3

NARRATOR

The party makes it across the river assemble and sally forth on their mission.

Traveling Random Encounter Events (T.R.E.E.)
Travel Day 1 / Synthalus rolls 3d6 and gets 3,4,3 = No Encounter.

Travel Day 2 / Synthalus rolls 3d6 and gets 5,1,3 = Encounter at noon second day.

HOBGOBLINS!!!!!!

A band of six well equipped Hobgoblins emerge on the path ahead of you and their leader tells them to attack!

Party must roll Initiative!

Hobgoblins [1d6] = 3

Initiative [1d6] = 5

Horik draws forth his blade. "Where you recognize evil, speak out against it, and give no truces to your enemies! To battle my brothers and sisters! Let no enemy draw breathe any longer!"

Inferno wrote:Nice art!

Initiative: [1d6] = 3
Tie goes to the PCs, right Mr. DM?

The Party and the Hobgoblins map. The Hobgoblins are one Movement length away from the party.

Morag Mac Tharn, pict savage:

The primitive barbarian wordlessly nodded once at Horik's command, unshouldered his bone bow and rapidly fired two flint-headed arrows into the hobgoblin ranks, both at the same target.

Bow and Arrow: [1d20+3] = 5+3 = 8, Damage: [1d6] = 4
Bow and Arrow: [1d20+3] = 14+3 = 17, Damage: [1d6] = 3

Then he stepped back to the rear of the Viking ranks, maneuvering himself beyond the hobgoblin's movement range, giving him the option next round to fire more arrows or meet the hobgoblin advance with his spear.

Bilit, Atlantean Witch

The witch utters a few words you cannot understand while gesturing towards the goblins. Kill the creatures! she commands, as a strange, cat-like creature suddenly appears in a swirling mist. When it hears the command from its mistress, it bounds off and leaps at a goblin.

Torvald, Northman berseker

Torvlad's sword rings as he pulls it from its scabbard. Hefting his shield he lets out a blood-curdling scream and charges the hobgoblins. "Death is upon you!"

Bastard Sword : to hit [1d20+2] = 18+2 = 20, [damage 2d4+2] = err

re-rolled damage due to broken macro [2d4+2] = 4+2 = 6

NARRATOR

Morag quickly fires off two arrows and manages to clip one of the Hobgobs in the shoulder, but it does seem to slow him down. His other arrow completely misses. Bilit Conjures forth a Shadowy Catlike apparition the lops forward a bites at one of the Hobgobs but misses completely. Torvald Charges the closest Hobgob and swings his mighty Bastard connecting with the foul humanoids chest with a heavy thud knocking the hobgob back a step.

HOBGOBLINS

Four Hobgoblins surround Torvald and take turns attacking him. The other two Hobgoblins Charge the party in the rear, but cannot get within melee range.


HOBGOBLINS ATTACKING TORVALD
Hobgoblin 1 / Attack Roll [1d20] = 6 = Miss
Hobgoblin 2 / Attack Roll [1d20] = 14 = Miss
Hobgoblin 3 / Attack Roll [1d20] = 7 = Miss
Hobgoblin 4 / Attack Roll [1d20] = 15 = Hit

Horik charges up to the closest hobgoblin and swings his sword at the hobgoblins torso Fate's Promise Broad Sword +3 [1d20+5] = 9+5 = 14 To Hit [2d4+5] = 3+5 = 8 S/M DMG [1d6+6] = 2+6 = 8 L DMG
