There are several others standing around</div> <div> watching and drinking</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren yawns and goes back to bed.</div> <div> Docportal: I say to Ham we sould get our gear and get the others and make a run for it.</div> <div> Missiledine: They are going at it with such a fury that it is hard to imagine that it can last very long... Suddenly one cries out, stumbles backwards</div> <div> and falls. Two men move over to stand above him. One pours something over the fallen man. Nothing happens, they shrug and walk away</div> <div> FinLongham: "OK, I get my gear and ready to go."</div> <div> Missiledine: Everyone seems to loose interest, but two men pick up the fallen man and carry him away</div> <div> Docportal: I get my gear and get the others so we can get this job done.</div> <div> Missiledine: It's about two hours before dawn... Maybe 3:30...

There are several people sleeping off the nights libations on the floor</div> <div> and slumped on tables.. You can let yourself out the inn door</div> <div> Docportal: I open the door so we can go.</div> <div> Missiledine: You will notice that the inn door has a night latch on it. That means you can leave, but once it's closes you can't get in again</div> <div> Docportal: I look at Ham.</div> <div> FinLongham: I   say to Tim in a soft voice. "Yes, so lets go."</div> <div> Docportal: "ok, we will go."</div> <div> Missiledine: Ok, out the door you go. It clicks shut behind you... The streets are empty and everything is very quiet</div> <div> FinLongham: I lead the way back to the big rock</div> <div> Missiledine: Ok, you lead the way back to the city gate. Which is closed. There is a light coming from the guardroom tho</div> <div> Docportal: Ok I go get the gate keeper.</div> <div> Missiledine: When you knock you hear a voice say, "Mitra's Balls! Not another one!" The door opens and a grizzled looking watchmane glares</div> <div> out. "What?"</div> <div> Docportal: I need to leave town.</div> <div> Missiledine: "Hummmph! You and everyone else." He grumbles. </div> <div> Missiledine: "All right, wait her, I'll open the posatern." He goes to get a key.</div> <div> Missiledine: He comes back a minute later and leads you to a small gate built into the big one. "Now listen here!" He says, "I ain't gonna come a</div> <div> runnin if you start pounding on it to be let back in! Understand?"</div> <div> FinLongham: I move to follow Tim out of the gate.</div> <div> Missiledine: He unlocks the gate and shifts the bar and bolts, opening the gate and standing aside</div> <div> Docportal: "I understand. I am on my own out here." </div> <div> Docportal: I wait for Ham to make it outside then follow.</div> <div> Missiledine: "That's right! And good night to you@!" He will chivvy you out the gate and closes it with a bang. You hear the bolts sliding home and</div> <div> the rattle of the lock... Then the man thumps away grumbling about, "Damn fool treasure huntin idio....."</div> <div> Missiledine: Okay, your on the road back to Drunmore. The rock is a couple miles south</div> <div> FinLongham: I am leading the way right?</div> <div> Missiledine: If you wish</div> <div> FinLongham: I know the way.</div> <div> Missiledine: It is a road and it is wide enough to walk together</div> <div> Docportal: I keep an eye and ear out for any thing.</div> <div> FinLongham: ok cool</div> <div> Missiledine: The countryside is cold and frosty looking, what moon there was has now set and it's still awhile before dawn... Things are pretty</div> <div> dark and quiet</div> <div> Missiledine: You have been walking maybe twenty minutes when you notice, ahead of you on the ground, a pile of still steaming manure</div> <div> Docportal: Good we are close to one of the group.</div> <div> Missiledine: Continuing on, another half hour and you start seeing boulders along the road... Soon you will be at the rock you are seeking</div> <div> Missiledine: Between walking, fooling around with the gate, getting your gear etc it is a bit after five and the sky is starting to lighten... soon it will</div> <div> be dawn</div> <div> Missiledine: Back at the inn, things are beginning to stir</div> <div> Missiledine: Ham & Tim: On the road ahead, up near the site of the ambush, you can just make out several mounted men sitting across the road</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren gets up. stretches through his excercises. shaves, and gears up. goes down for breakfast. </div> <div> Missiledine: At the inn: Corren, Rolb will wake you, "It's time to get a move on."</div> <div> Docportal: We get the heck off the road and look for cover.</div> <div> Missiledine: Plenty of cover amongst the boulders.. You don't think they saw you</div> <div> Docportal: I try to hear what is going on. </div> <div> Missiledine: You'll have to move a lot closer to hear</div> <div> Docportal: <I think Fin is have problems.></div> <div> Docportal: <I am not getting anything form him.></div> <div> Missiledine: Hmm, he isn't answering me either</div> <div> FinLongham: having some lage here</div> <div> Missiledine: ok, as long as your with us</div> <div> FinLongham: So be fin now.</div> <div> Missiledine: Last Post: You'll have to move a lot closer to hear</div> <div> FinLongham: I will move closer after I cast invisibility.</div> <div> FinLongham: on myself.</div> <div> Missiledine: ok</div> <div> Missiledine: The spell works, how are you approaching?</div> <div> FinLongham: I will move towards the men on the road by the road.</div> <div> Missiledine: Moving along the edge of the road?</div> <div> FinLongham: yes</div> <div> Docportal: Can I see where the men are from here?</div> <div> Missiledine: Ok... You will see a group of five heavily cloaked and hooded figures. Their horses are stamping impatiently in the cold</div> <div> Docportal: With out them seeing me?</div> <div> Missiledine: Won't know till you try</div> <div> FinLongham: Are they still on there horses?</div> <div> Missiledine: Yes, they are mounted</div> <div> FinLongham: Are they close to one another?</div> <div> Missiledine: They seem to be waiting for something.... You can hear them griping about the cold and the delay</div> <div> Missiledine: Yes, they are in a clump</div> <div> Docportal: I peek out of behind the rocks to see if I can see them</div> <div> Missiledine: Yes, you can see them.. No one seems to be looking your way at the moment.</div> <div> FinLongham: I will stay five to ten yards.</div> <div> Missiledine: ok</div> <div> Docportal: I cast earth to air under the whole group and drop them three yards down.</div> <div> Missiledine: ok, lets talk energy... how much are you spending?</div> <div> Docportal: give me a sec.</div> <div> Dukejr01: <that would take a LOT of energy></div> <div> Docportal: I decide agest that idea and return to hiding.</div> <div> Docportal: "Only some 240 pt of energy."</div> <div> Missiledine: <Ok, I'm going to let it go this time. But in the future lets pay attention to what you can do, otherwise you will cast even if it doesn't</div> <div> work.></div> <div> Docportal: <yes, i was thinking of some other spell that would let me do it. That I don't have in this game.></div> <div> Missiledine: <If you look at the magic system I delineated, it is possdible to cast beyond your Strength, but there are consequences.></div> <div> Docportal: <Ummm on that system I am die if I did that.></div> <div> Missiledine: So what are you two doing?</div> <div> FinLongham: I am spying on the group.</div> <div> Docportal: I am going to sit back for a few minutes.</div> <div> Missiledine: ok</div> <div> Missiledine: As I said, they are milling their horses around, trying to keep warm. The conversation you hear is mostly inconsequential, comments</div> <div> on the weather, etc</div> <div> Docportal: I peek out again a will cast Thunder clap. At the center of the group.</div> <div> FinLongham: I will walk back to where Tim is and hide.</div> <div> Missiledine: ok... the Thunderclap goes off, centered on the five men and their horses....<Ham, you are unaffected but startled> The horses are</div> <div> plunging and rearing, several riders have lost their seats and been thrown. Others are yelling and fighting to control their horses... One horse and</div> <div> rider takes off across the pasture... the riderless horses are running loose</div> <div> Missiledine: One rider, who was struggling to control his horse, seems to vanish into thin air</div> <div> Missiledine: now the horse takes off across the fields</div> <div> FinLongham: Am I back to the rock with Tim?</div> <div> Missiledine: yes</div> <div> FinLongham: drop the invisibilty.</div> <div> Missiledine: ok</div> <div> Docportal: I say to Ham. "That got alot done."</div> <div> FinLongham: "Yes but one of the men have invisbility."</div> <div> Missiledine: Suddenly the air around is full of fiery droplets that are falling from the sky.. they are landing on you and around you... your clothing is</div> <div> smoldering...</div> <div> Docportal: Try to run out of under it.</div> <div> FinLongham: Follow Tim and one out of under the rain I creat water and drop it on both of us.</div> <div> Missiledine: It is covering an area several hexes across... tho your armor is protecting you from the worst of it, you have both taken dfamage and</div> <div> are continuing to take it... Tim:3 points Ham 4 pt</div> <div> Docportal: Try to find where it is coming from</div> <div> Docportal: Try to locate the caster.</div> <div> Missiledine: As you run clear you can hear someone yelling... "There! Over there! Kill them!"</div> <div> Missiledine: You see a horseman, one of the two still mounted, charging at you. It seems that no one heard his shout, but they see where he is</div> <div> going, he is wielding a double bladed axe, and they are following on foot</div> <div> Missiledine: You don't see the mage who cast the spell</div> <div> FinLongham: Try to hit one of the men on a house with a Ice sphere.( 1 pt)</div> <div> Missiledine: The mounted man is coming at a gallop... you get one shot... And you missed</div> <div> FinLongham: I try to dodge him</div> <div> Docportal: I try to find a place to get cover.</div> <div> Missiledine: He gallops past you, swinging as he goes, You fail your dodge... He hits you hard, for 4 points and the horse will graze you, causing</div> <div> no damage but it sends you sprawling</div> <div> Missiledine: He will wheel the horse around... From the road you have three more fighter types running at you, weapons drawn</div> <div> Docportal: I cast a ex fire ball at the one who hit Ham.</div> <div> Missiledine: How many points?</div> <div> Docportal: pt 2</div> <div> FinLongham: I go invisibe and run.</div> <div> Missiledine: The fire ball explodes as Ham is getting to his feet (I assume you get up?) and the horse rears up and the man tumbles off</div> <div> FinLongham: I run for the horse.</div> <div> Missiledine: Tim... You are engulfed in a fireball for 5pts damage</div> <div> Missiledine: The horse will pass you at a run... You may try and grab its reins as it goes by....</div> <div> Missiledine: Tim you are down 8... Ham you are down 8</div> <div> Missiledine: <You each have 1 point left></div> <div> FinLongham: I will try to grap its reins and jump on.</div> <div> Docportal: I ready a stone missile for the one that fell off.</div> <div> Docportal: pt 2</div> <div> Missiledine: He is struggling to rise... The other fighters will start arriving next round..... Ham, you grab at the flapping reins and miss, but the</div> <div> horse cant see you (Your invisible) and between your lunge and his run, you get bowled over again...</div> <div> Missiledine: Doc, are you using the spell?</div> <div> Docportal: once it is ready yes.</div> <div> Missiledine: ok</div> <div> FinLongham: I will try to get up and run towards Tim.</div> <div> Missiledine: (Will you build it for two rds or spend the energy for one?)</div> <div> Docportal: Spend teh energy for one.</div> <div> Missiledine: Ok, you discharge the missile, hitting the man full in the chest. He goes down.. There are two men with swords now attacking you... </div> <div> FinLongham: I use my staff to block them</div> <div> Missiledine: Fin, you are not being attacked</div> <div> Missiledine: Are you getting between them and Doc?</div> <div> FinLongham: <oops that was Tim. They can't see me.></div> <div> Missiledine: right</div> <div> Missiledine: Tim, how are you defending? Parry with staff then dodge?</div> <div> FinLongham: no, I will move up behind them and hit one of them on the back of the head</div> <div> Docportal: yes</div> <div> Missiledine: First fighter swings... You fail to parry... he hits you for 4 points</div> <div> Docportal: <oh boy I am die now.></div> <div> Missiledine: The second fighter attacks, he hits, you fail to dodge and take another 1 point</div> <div> FinLongham: how is my move going?</div> <div> Missiledine: Ham, you attack from behind, swinging the staff overhand, and you miss, but he does know your back there and will turn towards you</div> <div> FinLongham: I will try to move to the other side of him when he turns.</div> <div> FinLongham: Getting behinde him again.</div> <div> Missiledine: He is beside his partner, to his left, so he won't turn that way, which means you will be blocked by his partner for a run around...</div> <div> FinLongham: That will work</div> <div> Missiledine: Ham, you are going unconscious and will collapse before the second fighter sticks you again</div> <div> Docportal: <You mean me right???></div> <div> Missiledine: Whoops! yes!</div> <div> Missiledine: Sorry</div> <div> Docportal: I will fight to stay awake.</div> <div> Missiledine: Ham... you circle to get behind, you are hit from above for 1 point from a (regular) bfireball</div> <div> FinLongham: I cast major healing pt 4</div> <div> FinLongham: on Tim</div> <div> Missiledine: ok, despite the ongoing invisibility and the distraction of the hit, you manage to get the spell off</div> <div> Missiledine: Tim, you are at zero</div> <div> Missiledine: still conscious though</div> <div> FinLongham: <I thought major healing was times 2 of the power.></div> <div> Missiledine: Ham, you will be hit again on the next round (You spent 4 points or you healed him 4)</div> <div> Dukejr01: <I think he is right. aepending 4 points will yield 8 points of healing. unless its a house rule></div> <div> Dukejr01: <spending></div> <div> Missiledine: My misunderstanding... Ok, then Tim, you are 4 to the good which means you can retain your feet and your opponent won't feel guilty</div> <div> about hitting a helpless target</div> <div> Missiledine: <yes, he is right></div> <div> FinLongham: I will try to run some more.</div> <div> Docportal: I will try to run away from them.</div> <div> Missiledine: Ham: you take three points again from a non exp fireball launched from above</div> <div> FinLongham: I hate that mage.</div> <div> Missiledine: Tim, one fighter has his back to you, searching for something, the other is swinging at you... what exactly is your move?</div> <div> Docportal: I try to dodge his swing by backing away from him.</div> <div> Missiledine: Ham you are -3 now and are loosing consciousness quickly</div> <div> FinLongham: I try to cast major healing on myself. 4 pt of power.</div> <div> Missiledine: Tim, you fail to dodge even though you are retreating... but his attack fails to penetrate your armor</div> <div> Docportal: I try for a 1 pt stone missile and try to hit him.</div> <div> Missiledine: <You are -12 to cast which means you need a crit succes... You fail.></div> <div> Missiledine: Ham is out cold</div> <div> FinLongham: <They can see me.

Three are walking, leading their mounts, two are riding.</div> <div> The unmounted horses have bodies slung over them</div> <div> Docportal: <Can I take a guess to whos bodies??></div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren looks them over and nods.</div> <div> Missiledine: As they pass you, you notice that two of the bodies are Ham and Tim... They are bound and have bandages, bloodstained, and look a</div> <div> bit scorched and the worse for wear.</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren stops. </div> <div> ElwingFD: "Say Corren, arn't those your friends?"</div> <div> Missiledine: Rolb, who is riding, looks the scene over and pulls up. "Ah, Top of the mornin gents... What have ye lads been up to today?"</div> <div> Missiledine: One man, who is still riding, says, "We were out on the road, mindin our own buisness, when we were attacked by brigands! Fools,</div> <div> we did for them! Now they'll swing for it!"</div> <div> Missiledine: "You know em?"</div> <div> Missiledine: They are all looking suspiscious and a bit hostile now</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren sighs. "They attacked you? Why?"</div> <div> Missiledine: "Damned if I know! We were sitting talking about which way to go and waiting for the rest of our people, when the little bastards lit into</div> <div> us! Figured they were after the horses. "</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren looks at Rolb and raises his eyebrows.</div> <div> Missiledine: "Naram here," He thumbs to one of the men behind him. "Smoked them out of their ambush and we kicked their asses."</div> <div> Missiledine: Rolb shakes his head and sighs. "Aye, we know em. What are ye plannin to do with em?"</div> <div> Dukejr01: "Aye. We've met. They were supposed to be part of our party"</div> <div> Dukejr01: <oops></div> <div> Docportal: <Yes big oops></div> <div> Missiledine: The man grunts angrily. "I'm turning them over to the Magistrate! Either that or I slit their throats here and now! Damned Brigands!"</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren says "Suppose we accompany you to the town and see that they get to the magistrate"</div> <div> Dukejr01: <add a "?" to that></div> <div> Missiledine: He shrugs, "Don't mind. If there had been a tree handy I'd have hung where they lay! If ya think were gonna do somethin to them, why</div> <div> would we bother bringing them back."</div> <div> Dukejr01: "Truth there. I reckon I owe them at least the best chance they have, and I suppose the Magistrate will want to talk to us as well. Corren shrugs " I don't</div> <div> understnad it"</div> <div> Missiledine: "I figure they got a murder charge and a brigandage charge a comin to them. If they ain't hanged it'll be a labor chain for a good many</div> <div> years>'</div> <div> Missiledine: Rolb says brightly. "Maybe it was a case of mistaken identity."</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren looks troubled.</div> <div> ElwingFD: Ferric asks Corren, "are you planning on going back with them?"</div> <div> Docportal: <Hey there was a tree. This guy must be blind.></div> <div> Missiledine: You can still see the town</div> <div> Dukejr01: "Aye. Hopefully it won't take long"</div> <div> ElwingFD: Ferric looks at Rolb, "and you?"</div> <div> Missiledine: "let's go back and see them in their gaol.. We'll have to tell someone their names, seein how they ain't fit to talk. Then I say lets get</div> <div> on with it."</div> <div> ElwingFD: "alright then"</div> <div> Missiledine: <Guys, I think we need to call it shortly></div> <div> Docportal: <Sure. At least I don't need to rewirte my characher right this minutes.></div> <div> FinLongham: Yes when every you want.</div> <div> Dukejr01: Corren walks back to town with the men. </div> <div> Missiledine: ok, lets wrap it here. We'll pick it up at your hanging</div> <div> Docportal: <Now I did not say that. I know we attack frist but they should have gone for they house be for know we where there.></div> <div> Missiledine: What?</div> <div> Dukejr01: okay. goodnight. hopefully we will make some progress next session.</div> <div> Docportal: <They should have gone looking for they horse befor the know we where they.></div> <div> Missiledine: Why would they do that when they were under attack?</div> <div> Docportal: But it was to try to make them move off of where we were going. They should have takeing a little bit to know where we were.</div> <div> Missiledine: You mean, you started a fight to clear the road? Rather then walking around them? And you open with a spell attack and you think</div> <div> their wizard won't make every effort to locate the source?</div> <div> Docportal: I was hoping for more to be taking with there horse away from where we where.</div> <div> Docportal: But you are right. Ok So hang us so we can start new characters.</div> <div> Missiledine: Ok. Good Night</div> <div> ElwingFD: night all</div> <div> Missiledine: night</div> <div> Docportal: By chants might this group be the one we almost got in to a fight with already?</div> <div> Dukejr01 has left the room.</div> <div> Missiledine: Your unconscious... Wait for the trial</div> <div> ElwingFD has left the room.</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
