In reply to Hoskar Feather (msg # 939):

I'm just glad we decided to camp earlier, so at least he doesnt loose that.
Though once its finished with Stinky, Melock is still the slowest person around :)

I'm casting a 3-POW Spirit Shield on myself.

Just act like a monkey.

Good move, though you only have a 1pt Spirit shield spell.

Busy night tonight so will have to leave you all in suspense.

Oh, I thought you got access to all levels as long as you had the POW.

No, sorry :(

You must learn each level. expensive and lengthy. Everyone would be super powerful otherwise.

if he survives I was thinking of adding 'Spirit Magnet' or similar to his name :)
Oh well at least Stinky didn't die.

Tulox is a hawk is it?

Yes it is Tarnessh's vrok.

In reply to GM (msg # 945):

Or maybe not.

Think Spirit Shield is the next spell for Henal to learn.

Tarnessh, if you want to learn Spirit Shield 3, you need to learn:
Spirit Shield 1 (standard RQII cost 500L)
Spirit Shield 2 (standard RQII cost 1,000L)
Spirit Shield 3 (standard RQII cost 1,500L)
ie total cost 3,000L.

I'd like to learn Healing 6, but the cost will be huge...

Eesh. I'll stick with Spirit Shield 1 for now.

Spare half hour. Cleaned the house faster than expected ;)

So who else is following the Rubble Runner? Your bound spirits can guide you after the bad spirit as it's now getting dark.

Who is staying back with Whispers? I'll have Sand Fox, Nixa for sure. Bamled and Yado are on foot so following along the cliff face in the dark is probably not a fun prospect. Mounts at the camp need to be readied for riding, so don't expect an instantaneous gallop after the others.

Those of you in pursuit, make me two ride rolls. Two successes and you catch up with Melock just as he gets to the cliff. A fumble and you fall off 1d6 damage.

A special in both (20% of your skill) and you can attempt something: talk to Melock, attack him...

A critical in one ride and you can overtake him.

14:16, Today: Kobal rolled 48 using 1d100. Ride roll 1 (need 60). Normal success.
14:17, Today: Kobal rolled 95 using 1d100. Ride roll 2 (need 60). Fail.  Just miss fumble by the slimmest of margins.

07:39, Today: Henal Longgrass rolled 81 using 1d100. Ride roll 2 (need 59).
07:38, Today: Henal Longgrass rolled 46 using 1d100. Ride roll 1 (need 59).

1 pass, 1 normal fail

Henal's ride is apparently 59%.  I thought RQII works on the basis of 5% increments for skills.  Shouldn't all skills be rounded to the closest 5% (or is it rounded down...)?  I thought the only exception to this is the experience bonus, which can be, for example, +3%.

In reply to Kobal (msg # 958):

Melocks ride is 51% though all his other skills are multiples of 5.

almost filled another OOC thread :)

That's my bad it should be 60% and Melock's should be 50%

The player would love to go chasing after Melock, but Hoskar's the stolid type and isn't really equipped for defending against big angry spirits; so I think his IC personality would put him in the "defend the Seza and Greeshar" party.

Although if someone says, "get after them, Hoskar!" ("there's enough of us here" or "hey [spirit], tell that cat we need Hoskar") IC he'll mount up quickly (remember me checking buckles and what-not before all this kicked off? I could be mounted fairly quickly) and join the chase.

In reply to GM (msg # 960):

I'll change it now :)

Ride Ticks for everyone who has ridden.

Those back at the camp are to far away to keep in touch with the rest of the group. They're roughly a km away.

I assumed that the two on guard above were mounted. I’ll edit that post. I also thought that Ohanzee would go bareback, just throw a bridle on, but upon reflection that far to reckless in the wastes, to ride off into the night with nothing but an axe.

PS we are approaching the 1k limit on thread length here :)
