I see nothing wrong with the marching order from Uthecar's point of view, though I wonder how useful it will be to have Myrrick more than a step or two ahead.  He will be able to scout out tracks that way, but as far as his ability to surprise and be surprised is concerned, Uthecar is a very effective handicap, unless he is a mile away.

Hard luck with the dice roll Bruno, wrong end of the bell curve for us.

Uthecar - fortunately for you, it just about takes a natty 20 to hit you for 1 HD or less monsters.  And you got a tub full of HP.  However, if you insist on rushing forward at every turn, a 20 foot drop onto spikes might limit your enthusiasm.

LOL.

Now that would teach the young and brash dwarf a valuable lesson.  I can't think of many ways of attacking a 20 foot drop, and looking like you have come out the winner.  To be fair he is only thinking about his own safety at this point, of which he is not hugely concerned.  If his actions impacted negatively upon others, now there would be a wake up call for him. I have actually enjoyed playing his simplistic narrow minded approach to problems, but it needs to be, and will be scaled back.

Just having some fun with you.  I have enjoyed your character immensely thus far.  He fits his role as seamlessly as all the other players do.  Really like the dynamic so far - I'm having a lot of fun & can't wait to see what's next.

I enjoy having dwarf fodder on the front line with me :)

I like Uthecar.   You play him well

Gee thanks, I'm just glad there's a canvas here to draw on, and other people want to draw their story as well.

For what its worth, the plan is for him to be softening and organically growing as he gains adventuring wisdom, and gets to witness the growing powers of his fellow adventurers.  There'll always be dwarf in him though.

Point of Clarification: When you are stating an action that may require a roll for a class skill or such, go ahead and roll without my prompting.

Just curious, what color is goblin blood?  Inquiring minds want to know?

Blue
Red
Green
Yellow
Purple

Also do they explode on impact?    ROFL    "Goblin go Bada-Boom"

That would be a dark green, a similar, but darker tint than hunter green.

Uthecar - roll a d20 + strength bonus.  I'll let you know if you make it - be a helluva throw if you did.

both rolls failed.

That's gotta be a good'un

05:41, Today: Uthecar Hornskin II rolled 23 using 1d20+4.  Goblin Toss.

Edited.  Sorry I got carried away using the damage modifier.  We're just trying to clear the stream at this stage so it is still a 'to hit' type thing

Good evening (1039pm here right now).

So, we're off to a good start - a bit faster posting rate than I expected, tbh.  Just fyi, though, as things are going to slow a good bit as I begin my busiest season of work.  I'm an insurance agent, and it's the health care open enrollment season for several products.

I expect I'll get down to about 1 post per week for the foreseeable future.  This is what I had in mind when I started the campaign, so it shouldn't really be a shock, but I did want to give you guys a head's up.

Thanks for playing...looking forward to getting that door open!

I'm good set whatever pace you need to.

Hope the enrollment thing goes well

In reply to The Seer (msg # 186):

I'm all for a slower pace > you guys are posting fiends. :)

Morning (Sat 15th 6.31am) I'm guilty of being the most recidivist poster, but if the posting rate should becomes slower I'm okay with it.  I may not want it, but I'm okay with it.  I'd rather a good game than a fast game, and I think we have all the ingredients here for a good game.

Okay folks - I think a caller might be in order here - I want to keep things moving in linear progression, but it has to make sense.  So if Myrrick says he's checking for traps, but Uthecar says he's running down the tunnel, I want to make sure that Myrrick's not finding the trap after Uthecar has a ton of rock fall on top of him.  If no caller is suggested, I will post in what seems the most logical order (to me), and we'll go from there.

A second thought as well.  You are all low level, so there's a chance one or more of you will die.  To that affect, it might behoove you to come up with an idea for a second character in the event the dice don't favor you.  That's not to say I'm going to try to kill you...but I will let the dice fall where they may.

All that to conclude: Game on - good luck!

Oh I've always got ideas for new characters.

I have the inkling of an idea, Uthecar Hornskin III.

Regarding infravision:

So, all of us are old enough to remember black and white TV's with the knob channel changer, no remote control, knob volume control - many of them actually can in a nice, wooden console, and last up to 20-25 years.

That's what infravision looks like - except grainier.  So while it is a helpful characteristic, there are fine details that you miss in the dark - that why dwarves have braziers and torches in their stronghold.

Put it this way: a thief with infravision is no better than a thief without when checking for traps - typically poison darts don't give off heat.

So sayeth the sage...

then I'm keeping my damn torch.

does a fart give off heat        lol

Only if you light 'em :)

No, but one of Uthecar's acts as a stinking cloud spell...
