In reply to Gorgath (msg # 772):

Gareth is never one to give up, and tries again, with better success...

[Private to GM: Explosive Fireball, 1d, 8 under skill to cast, 11 under skill to hit, 3 fire damage...]

In reply to Gareth (msg # 773):
Even at 1/2 D range, someone atp the cliff catches fire.


The sounds if fireballs exploding can be heard back by the main caravan...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 774):

OOC - Please clarify... they hear Fireballs by the caravan, or the Caravan can hear fireballs by the cliffs?

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 775):

Everyone back at the caravan can hear your fireballs

In reply to Narrator (msg # 776):

Encouraged by the fireworks, Gareth keeps it up!

[Private to GM: Explosive fireball, rolled 5 under skill, attack, rolled 9 under skill, 4 burning damage. Skill 21, so no failures due to natural roll of 17 or greater!]

In reply to Gareth (msg # 777):

The explosion takes off the lip if the cliff, causing a minor landslide-make a Dodge all or take 1d-3. On the plus side, there are no longer any archers near the top, (some screaming though) and the path is easier to see.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 778):

Gareth is so excited at the effect that he easily makes the dodge as he moves out of the way, before getting ready to move on up as fast as he can to some cover!

[Private to GM: Rolled 8. Retreating dodge 13...]

In reply to Gareth (msg # 779):

"Haveron, Yisslitheniss, there is something definitely going on ahead."

"Cousin, we should investigate. Perhaps you could scout from above?"

In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 780):

No doubtssss ... hopefully we do not loze many of our Guardssss.

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 782):

 "Let us go and join them!" She draws her broadsword.

And leave the caravan bereft of protection? That wassss our job to protect.

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 784):

"If the Bandits are attacking again in force, it would be best to meet them before they can get this far. Witch, you have been to the cliff tops. Might you surveil there again?"

In reply to Hasim ab Quadeer (msg # 785):

Gorgath, Gareth, Berry, and Tralfaz make their way up the newly widened path. As Gorgath reaches the top, several arrows rebound off of his helmet.


Haveron, Yisslitheniss, Amelie, Mischa and Sorsha are...?

Yes, we are.


Sssso you would have ussss. go to the fighting?

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 787):

"If the enemy can be ground down at once, a good offense can be the best defense."


Occ I hate splitting the party...

OK...come with me and we will go aid the otherssssss

He heads off toward the noise.

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 789):

Gareth, meanwhile, has been making his way up the hill looking for more targets. When he spies some, he throws another explosive fireball at them...after a his first attempt at a fireball fizzled out since he did not stop moving enough.

[Private to GM: Rolled 17 for first fireball...failure. On his next try, rolled 7 under skill to cast, 7 under skill to attack, 5 damage.]

In reply to Gareth (msg # 790):

Gareth is ascending up a crecasse toward the top of a cliff... There is no way to see upward, and he is ascending agead of Gorgath, who is ideally armored to stick his head up first...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 791):

Noting Gorgath's heavily armoured helmet, he decided to pause for 30 seconds to let the heavily armoured head go first. And to summon a fire elemental, if any is around...

[Private to GM: Cast Summon Fire Elemental, rolled 8, skill 20. Casting time 30 seconds. May take up to 2d minutes to appear...do I get to choose how big of an elemental comes?]

In reply to Gareth (msg # 792):

In order to summon a fire elemental you need to have a sizeable fire-create fire with a bunch of brush or fuel to burn. The nearest such thing you can see is down and accross the road. If there is any above, you are not in a position to see it.

As Gorgath gets to the top, several arrows fly his way, one even striking the visor of his helmet.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 793):

Gareth is a little disheartened, and looks to create a fire. How unusual...

[Private to GM: Rolled 10 under skill to create a fireball, 1d.]

In reply to Gareth (msg # 794):

Earth and air elementals could be ot easily here, water elementals would be nigh impossible.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 795):

Not by Gareth, unfortunately...

Haveron saw to Amelia's safety first, making sure she was in a place least likely to be hit by any stray arrows and then he leaned the shield nearby her so that she would have protection from the caravans and a huge slab of wood. "Stay here, my dear... he said gently and then brushed his hair back from his head and started off after the others.

Dont go getting yourselves into anything without me! he huffed in good spirit as he ran up the hill.

He considered staying behind the others, but ultimately panned out to the side so that he'd also be a target for any fire. HE wouldn't use one of his allies as a shield in lieu of his own. Better that they try and kill he than them.

Right, What've we got here now? he said with similar humour and then looked around the area to assess the field.
