In reply to Syvanus (msg # 828):

Kirpich waits until he sees someone give the all clear signal, but is concerned that his lack of stealth may give them away.

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 829):

The ruins of the former stronghold are merely a blasted heath covered with rubble and bits of bone that is barren and several hundred yards wide. There is little cover beyond this wall until you get to the treeline.

On the other hand, Kalvo's people are expecting you from below and have only one archer...

I stay low and move toward the tree line.

In reply to Syvanus (msg # 831):

"With the height of that wall they will see us before we make 10 yards,and our backs will be to them... and some are on horseback!"

Syvanus stops and comes back to the wall, looks both ways to see which offers more cover as you move along it and starts going that way.

In reply to Oren (msg # 832):

"We have no stealth. Can we use the wall to sneak up on them for a suprise attack, to deal with them once and for all?"

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 834):

"If we don't deal with them now, they will dog us all the way home. We have Syvanus, Danos, and Stringfellow all with bows, if they take out their archer and spellcaster, then we can sieze the day."

In reply to Oren (msg # 835):

"I will ready my sleep spell and see how many I can fell."

Syvanus stops, turns and nods...  he gets another two arrows ready plus the one nocked.

In reply to Syvanus (msg # 837):

Snorri puts his eye to a crack in the masonry.

"We have Kalvo, still with his wrist splinted, and he has a
bad leg too. Then there is Osvaldo, he's the big bald one, bad business
 he is, Pierre, one with the scar and scruffy beard, an easier fight
there, that one in the robe I don't  know, but those four Ruffians were
the bandits we met before... only one has a bow is that woman,
And that skinchanging lion is with them. We are six against 8, but we may have surprise."

I'll try for the one is robes ... Syvanus whispers

In reply to Snorri Roslovich (msg # 838):

"Do I have time to return underground and ask Grom for another Ally? I saved my strength after that last rest. Or else I can sling stone missiles at them..."

Selecting his target, Stringfellow nods. "I will take the archer."

Looking at Kirpich, "If you wish, we can hold our attack while you prepare."

"I'll double up on the robed figure. Getting the spellcaster down will make things easier. Then I will try to pick off the close fighters as they approach."

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 840):

Missiles might be more expedient.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 843):

"I think the general consensus is that it would risk too much time and hence risk loosing surprise..."

He silently conjures a stone missile.

OK, Let us know when to shoot ...

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 844):

Name targets and go for it!

I was hoping to get a coordinated volley...  Syvanus is shooting at the robed figure... I believe Danos is as well.

In reply to Syvanus (msg # 847):

Kirpich will target whoever he is told to target...

[Private to GM: Not that it will matter, rolled 1 over skill to hit!]

Danos surveys the targets with his telescopic vision.

"Syvanus and I will fire at the robed figure. Stringfellow, you take the archer. Kirpich, try for the skinchanger - he's going to be tough and we should see if we can bring him down from a distance.

"On my mark, we will all take aim. Then on the count of three, we all loose at once."

If everyone agrees, Danos takes a position, and aims for three as many seconds as Kirpich needs, seconds counting out loud to 3 before firing.

11:17, Today: Danos rolled 10 using 3d6.  Bow to Robed figure - 18 + 3 Acc + 2 Aim -3 vitals = 20 - ? range (w Telescopic vision).
11:18, Today: Danos rolled 8 using 1d6+2.  arrow damage.

In reply to Danos (msg # 849):

...and fire when told. He will ask for a few extra seconds to increase the spell and aim though.

[Private to GM: and most likely miss, unless SM+1 or more!

No, wait, with aiming, the spell has Acc: 2, so aiming while he waits will give him +2, making it a hit! If he has time to aim, he will put an extra 2 points into the spell, given Danos words. Assuming they wait long enough for extra time, that can be an additional +2, +1 for determine, so +5, hits by 4! Damage 22 cr, torso.]

Stringfellow aims at the archer's vitals and releases when the others do.

[Private to GM: 22:04, Today: Stringfellow Hill rolled 13 using 3d6.  Bow 13 + 2 + 2 -3 (vitals) = 14.
22:09, Today: Stringfellow Hill rolled 3 using 1d6.  arrow damage.]

The two arrows buried in the spellcaster knock him straight off his horse.

Ludmilla cries out as she is struck by an arrow, and Monorith is knocked flat by the stone missile.

You have 2 seconds

Syvanus reloads, aims and fires at Kalvo.



[Private to GM:  10:03, Today: Syvanus rolled 9 using 3d6.  Fast Draw arrow. by 10
10:04, Today: Syvanus rolled 9 using 3d6.  Arrow at Kalvo. By 14 less range mod
10:04, Today: Syvanus rolled 6 using 1d6+1.  Arrow Damage - Imp.]
