In reply to Brigand (msg # 497):

No defence roll? Well, he failed it anyway, or do you usually roll that? For future reference, do I wait until it is called for, or roll in in case anyway?

Gareth curses, but soon forgets as he watches the man burning and screaming in pain. He mutters away to himself, and another fireball appears.

[Private to GM: Rolled 5 under spell to cast fireball again. Damage absorbed by DR anyway, fortunately.]

Sorsha will float closer to the archer.

(is he the last one up here?)

"That's right you run! That's what happens when you mess with a mage trained by... umm... my mother? Going with that." Berry says shaking her fist at the archer. She started out yelling, but the volume dropped off.

In reply to Sorsha (msg # 499):

The remaining archer is the last one Sorsha can see..

In reply to Brigand (msg # 501):

Is the last archer in range, or is there another Gareth can see in range of him?

Sorsha appears behind the archer and turns solid, fast drawing her small sword as she swings at the archer and misses.

21:24, Today: Sorsha rolled 12 using 3d6.  fast draw.
21:26, Today: Sorsha rolled 17 using 3d6.  Small sword.[Private to GM: Fast draw and hit with sword is 14]

In reply to Sorsha (msg # 503):

The archer is surprised by Sorsha's sudden appearance, and nearly falls down the incline

In reply to Brigand (msg # 504):

The long unseen party thief, concealed on the hillside, shows himself, hamstringibg the archer, who promptly falls face down in the gravel.

In reply to Shroud (msg # 505):

There were a lot more arrows...anyone else visible?

She frowns at Shroud "I was going to question him. so what now"

In reply to Sorsha (msg # 507):

"He is still alive, just not likely to get far on foot."

Maybe we should question him before we take him back to the others. Some of them might be too nice" She says as she walks around him, kicking any weapons away.

In reply to Sorsha (msg # 509):

You drag the hobbled prisoner down the hillside and to the master of arms. There is some cheering at your return.

Currently, the caravan is at the edge of the narrow passage, and about to advance, as time is money.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 510):

Gareth goes in search of more targets, heading up then along the ridge.

[Private to GM: Rolled 7 under perception...]

In reply to Gareth (msg # 511):

Gareth spots a figure high upon the ridge, at some (max range +5 yards) who has a few others
 creeping up beside him. the others have bows, all are lightly dressed, with cloaks and head
wraps.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 512):

Gareth will race up to behind a rock within range of the new group.  How closely bunched are they?

In reply to Gareth (msg # 513):

The group of archers and the other, who has a walking stick of some kind, can see you, and are starting to aim in your direction, as their leader is pounting at you and the others below. You are still out of range of eachothet, and the nearest cover for you is further back by three yards, not forward ( that is at 6 yards ahead, and within bowshot).

In reply to Narrator (msg # 514):

How close is the nearest cover in their direction? Reachable within a round of running?

(ooc- does anyone else see the other enemies?)

In reply to Sorsha (msg # 516):

These enemies are thirty yards away on the top if the hill Gareth is on. -5 to perception to see them from below.

Gareth can run toward cover that gives +4 DB, or back towards similar cover that has greater distance penalty for both of you.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 517):

Gareth will run forward to cover, cutting the range to his adversaries.

[Private to GM: What will the range penalty, if any, be for spells? Can he use this rock for full cover if he wants to, making attacks also impossible of course? Probably should ask actual range...]

In reply to Gareth (msg # 518):

Several arrows fly toward Gareth, some falling short, some sailing past, one striking the rock in front of him.


In the distance, a yellow mist begins to form at the top of the hill.

Distance is at -5 range, past the 1/2 d mark.

In reply to Brigand (msg # 519):

Gareth analyses the distance between the bandits from the cover of the rock...

[Private to GM: Considering the area needed to cover them all with rain of fire...what radius would be needed?]

In reply to Gareth (msg # 520):

about three yards... but you have -25 on the roll due to the distance between you and them.

Berry will walk over to the prisoner and Master of Arms to ask "Can I kick him? He totally deserves it." She's counting on Gareth to handle whatever else is going on.
