Re: In the Oytwood - a new beginning

Moffdust's eyes become large as saucers when she hears Riza's estimate of their pursuers numbers.

  "Dat is a lot a big unz ! "   , she adds nodding sagely, looking at those closest to her eye level "  .... Evens wiv all you cleva little unz "

She looks a bit bashful when Bulldust announces her little talent to the others. She is not too sure how the bugbear came to believe that, so maybe it was true....

She shrugs,  but don't be scared of me, I won'ts do dat to yooz. Mostly I runs away.... Mostly. Anywayz Bully, you n Vera can looks afer uz" she nods at his favourite shovel.

Re: In the Oytwood - a new beginning

”Me’s Too” Jurz replies to Moffa ”But did is one of dose not running times.” he says sadly.  ”But dere iznt  time to make da pit trap.” he adds for Bully’s sake.

He continues with a shrug ”It doesn't really matter wot dey have as weapons.” he mutters working things out as they run  ”Or where dey all were when Minmorc and Rize saw dem …”

”OKs.  Me’s gonna go to the back and try and get da forest to slow some of dem down.  Its a bit like a big tree trap.” he adds with a grin for Bully.  ”Den youse have to do what youse all can do best.” he says  trying to tell all of them to pick their best tactic for this combat.  ”But go for de ones dat the forest doesn't get first.  We’s can getz de others later.  An if’n we’s lose dis one, dat is it for some of us!” he says by way of motivational last words.

With a gulp, and wondering how he got himself in this mess, Jurz brings Rog to a stop, so the others can run a safe distance past him and turns to face the enemy.

Re: In the Oytwood - a new beginning

"Tree trap ... sounds like the start of the am-bush."  Bulldust stops running and plants Vera in the soil at the base of a large climbing tree.  "What you fink Moffa, this is where we make our stand?"  He starts to hastily don the studded leather armour he's been carrying.

Re: In the Oytwood - a new beginning

Minmorc starts moving to look for a good bush to am from and halts when he hears the little goblin girl talk. "Youse, calls yer shovel Vera? I calls my spear Vera! Yous is alright!" He then has a thought (which is odd for him) and starts rummaging through his pack. He unwraps some of the leaves from his rations and after a careful sniff selects the juiciest bit and starts to shred it to a fine mince. He then goes looking for Arlein, "here kitty, kitty..." And if he can find her he will kneel before the cat and will offer a handful of mince and will say "mighty pretty kitty, when der orks come can youse make me bigger again?"

Re: In the Oytwood - a new beginning

Bulldust gapes at Minmorc through an arm-hole of the armour he's struggling into.  Is the terrifying orc cross that he didn't look after the shiny sword?  No, seems friendly enough, just talking about weapon names, like one warrior to another (ha!).  "Uberfudd said it was a girlie name, but I like it." he sounds muffled through the arm-hole.  "Your Vera was buzzing.  How'd ya make her buzz?"

Re: In the Oytwood - a new beginning

Moffdust grins toothily at Jurz. "I likes the sounds of a big tree trap, and We'z ul getz some of dem as getz away! she announces bravely, puffing out her chest and standing proudly at her full height (of somewhat less that three feet, a height she considered perfectly appropriate as it reached all the way from the tips of her green ears to her toes - anything more would quite simply have been wasteful)

Moffdust quickly considers the advantages of the spot chosen by Bulldust to make his stand.  A big tree....

She looks around nervously. "datz a big tree Bully."

Seeing Bulldust struggling into his armour she scurries around her brother, pulling and pushing the big lump this way and that, helping him don it as quickly as she can.

Re: In the Oytwood - a new beginning

OOC: The orcs are 6 rounds behind the party, moving at 60ft per round. Visibility in the forest is only 60ft. Minmorc and Riza would have seen that at least half of the orcs were carrying a couple of javelins as well as their normal melee weapons - mostly their crude orcish falchions. They would also have noticed a few bows among them and a few two-handed melee weapons too (greataxe, greatsword). Nothing long and cumbersome like longspears and polearms. The leader had a greatsword.

Who is choosing to hide? (Roll your hide skill check if you are doing that.)
How far from Jurz are you each going to go before stopping?
And is anyone making any other preparations?  ;o)

Re: In the Oytwood - a new beginning

Moffdust hops up and down with excitement as she takes the potion from Bully.
"ooo Bully, fanks! I loves theses!" she briefly hugs her brother around a tree truck of a thigh before swallowing the potion and scampering up the tree.

Once at about 20', she looks for a good hiding place with a line of sight towards the approaching orcs. She loads her crossbow and carefully sets it to one side before preparing to cast a spell once the orcs are within appropriate range.

(Ooc, she prepares to cast 'grease' at the base of the tree in the path of the first Orc to charge Bully.)

Re: In the Oytwood - a new beginning

The fully armoured Bulldust snaps off the lowest branches so the orcs can't climb after Moffa.  He takes the other potion from his bag and drinks it - his sword wound disappears!  Feeling invincible he spits oh his shovel and growls "Shiny. Let's be bad guys!" and shakes Vera-the-shovel in the direction of the unseen orcs.

Then, realizing he's just a big green target for all the orcs with bows, he slips behind Moffa's tree, peeking out excitedly and doing a rotten job of hiding.  He prepares his flask of alchemist's fire to hurl at the first orc that comes his way.

Re: In the Oytwood - a new beginning

Minmorcs first reaction is anger but then he realises that it's more for him and happily scoffs his horse tartare. He will position himself about fifteen feet in front and a little off to the side of Jurz, (between him and the orks) and will stand beside a tree and will give himself another prod with his Healy stick. Then, spear in one hand, javelin in the other he will wait for the orks to come. He will look to bulldust and says "dunno, sometimes Vera gets a little excited" then will look to Nurzhan and will say "if dey gets me, shoot me, I don't wanna get et... But don't shoot me first!"

Re: In the Oytwood - a new beginning

Riza turns to Minmorc "don't worry they won't get yous Minmorc" she draws another arrow for her bow and once again blends into the Forrest. She positions herself at the base of the tree approx 30ft behind Jurz and 20ft to the side. The same side Minmorc is standing on.

She will hunker down and wait for Jurz to cast his spell before firing off her first shot.

OOC: rolled 23 to hide

Re: In the Oytwood - a new beginning

Bulldust and Moffa's tree is about level with Jurz but on the other side from Minmorc and Riza.  Bulldust calls up into the tree  "You go for orcs wiv bows Moffa and let me do orcs wiv anyfing else."

He looks around for Dregs.  "Can you say some Bargrivyek words?  I don't know wat it means but it makes it sound like we're gonna win."

Re: In the Oytwood - a new beginning

Coming to a halt, Dregz gazes deeper into the forest longingly, obviously preferring 'running away' to 'standing and fighting'.  But his beliefs do not allow him to abandon the group, so he too slips behind a tree to hide (though his attempts at concealment are spoiled somewhat as he repeatedly pokes his head around the trunk to see if the orcs are near.

At Bully's prompting, the priest is only too happy to deliver Bargivyek's blessing upon the group, and begins to pray, beneath his breath so as not to attract undue attention.

Re: In the Oytwood - a new beginning

like Bulldust, Moffdust is strangely comforted by Dregz quiet prayers. in fact seeing their small band gathering here, preparing for this first challenge as a conscious alliance, her mood is surprisingly buoyant (for someone who would rather run away). "Fannks yor Holiness" , she whispers.

At Bulldust's suggestion she rethinks her earlier plan, deciding to cast the 'grease' spell now rather than later. She spreads it beneath her tree on the side that Bully is peeking around. Next she prepares a spell ('magic missile') to throw at the orc archers as they approach.

Content that she has now done all she can, she waits as still and as quietly as she is able, that is to say neither particularly still nor quiet...

Re: In the Oytwood - a new beginning

Nurzhan looks for a tall, thick tree that can support his weight, so he can rain down arrows relatively safely at the pursuers. He will then get ready to shoot at the first enemy that pops into visual range.

Re: In the Oytwood - a new beginning

OOC: Main Game Map updated to show everyone's positions immediately before Jurz casts his Entangle spell. If anyone wants their positions changed please tell me which square you should be in. If you are targeting orcs with your missile weapons or spells please tell me which one is your target. (Remember visibility is only 60ft.) If anyone plans to move as part of this first round action tell me which square you will move to.

Riza let's fly at the first visible Orc she sees, this one is in front of Minmorc so all the better. Her arrow flys true and she quickly draws another arrow ready to take on another Orc


OOC: rolled 26 to shoot O2 (natural 20) rolled 14 for potential critical
Initial damage is 4 with an additional 10 if the critical is successful

Re: In the Oytwood - a new beginning

To clarify, Moffa has greased squares Q17-R18 and will cast magic missile at an orcish archer who is free of Jurz's spell and preferably on the 'Z' side (alphabetically) or otherwise wherever such an unfortunate orc happens to find him/herself :P

Re: In the Oytwood - a new beginning

Bulldust is looking out the right side of his tree.  He'll throw the alchemist's fire at the first orc that comes within 10' range then duck behind the tree for cover.  If an orc falls over in the grease then he'll hit that one with the shovel for AoO if that's possible.
