"Aye? That may ruin the brandy, as brandy... As they say, pick yer pizen."
Aegis opens the bottle, giving it a sniff...

In reply to Aegis (msg # 906):

"It is too early for getting drunk to celebrate a victory, so that may not be a bad thing, for you. OK for him to drown his sorrows, though."

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 907):

Reanna is able to cut down Darius, who was very nearly impaled.


Within the bedroll is a bottle of an amber colored liquid.  Undooing the stopper, Aegis smells something alchoholic.



Connoisseur, spitirits please. Defaults to IQ-5 or Carousing -2.

15:52, Today: Aegis rolled 5 using 3d6.  carousing 11 -2 . made it by 4
Aegis made his analysis...

In reply to Aegis (msg # 909):

This is fine quality brandy. Hopefully there is more.

The merc smiles broadly, and guffaws.
"Pshaw! 'Tis ne'er, too early. Isn't that right, Balar? This is his personal stash, he's sharin'..."

In reply to Aegis (msg # 911):

"If you think going into a possible combat situation drunk if fine, that is your call, but I might just wait until you sober up before wasting any healing on you in that case...there might be people who can actually fight who might need it."

"This meat will take close to 4 hours, I reckon, 'afore it's ready to et. Balar and I will have a gentleman's drink, and then we'll save the rest, for later, eh?"
Aegis hands Balar the bottle, to let the man drink.

Darius thanked Reanna. "I'm fine," he said. "Just a bit of sprain on my leg. The bolt didn't hurt me."
He looked around. "Do you think one of the others knows more about traps?"

In reply to Darius Kopaki (msg # 914):

Aegis should be able to handle a shot with just a HT or carousing roll.

The traps can be disarmed, but take a minute each, and probably a ball of twine and a few stakes to displace the tripwires.

16:46, Today: Aegis rolled 8 using 3d6.  HT 12 (withstanding the Armagnac).
Letting Balar drink first, Aegis raises the bottle to him.
"Salut!"

In reply to Narrator (msg # 915):

Could the tripwires just have the crossbows detached and collected?

“I hope we don’t get jumped while we’re screwing around with these traps.”

Dne watches the fool drink with the enemy, and thanks the gods he’s a wiser bird than that.

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 919):
OOC since Aegis made his bloodlust roll, he's got compulsive carousing, and heavy drinker as a quirk. so, i'm just trying to stay in character.

Ooc: understood.

In reply to Reanna Draegan (msg # 917):

Compression on the tripwires (including just cutting them) fires the bows. Staking them down allows for the lines to be cut without changing the tension. It should take just a minute or so to deactivate each one with a traps roll.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 922):

Reanna will set about disarming traps...and removing the crossbows.

[Private to GM: DX based Traps, target 16, rolled 8, 5, 2, 1, 4, 3, 10 (natural 6) under. How many more?]

In reply to Reanna Draegan (msg # 923):

With particular precision Reanna  disables the traps and retrieves 8crossbows. She also identifes three distinct areas within the clearing-two covered pit traps, and a more solid area with a trap door covered with sod.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 924):

Was our pincushion trap tripper able to get back for some healing in that time?

Since Darius isn't really hurt, he'll have stayed.

In reply to Darius Kopaki (msg # 926):

If noone has gone after she has disarmed the first trap, Reanna will ask someone to go and get some backup.

‘Yo.  How much backup should I call for?’

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 928):

"As much as can be spared without leaving the prisoners with insufficient guards. Probably a healer and a ranged combatant, at least."

“Got it.”  Masugatan hurries back to camp like he’s late for a pixie orgy.
