Oh man, that just sucks. lol

That ramp does not appear to be going more or less straight but 'within a box'. It switches back on  itself, i.e. like a staircase inside a building.
Given the height of the road I presume that there are further ramp sections that are beneath earlier ones. So essentially it has a 'roof' of the earlier section that blocks sight.
That's what I meant ;)

I believe Wendoll is going to stand watch over Fost who's riding ahead to scout out the ramp. Erin is waiting halfway between the wagon and Wendoll while Tyrus stays with the wagon looking around.

21:36, Today: Tyrus Morven rolled 8 using 3d6+1 with the AGE System with rolls of {2}, 4, 1.  initiative.

I hope this was the last low roll for this encounter or its the fade for me again... or turning into an abomination...

20:48, Today: Erin rolled 13 using 3d6+2 with the AGE System with rolls of {4}, 2, 5.  Initiative.

Don't you worry, if it comes to that, we will promptly 'help' you out.

Folks, RL has been kicking my backside these past couple of weeks, and I feel like I've had too many stretches like that lately.

So, I just want to make sure y'all are still interested continuing despite these intermittent delays. I've been enjoying running the game for you, but I understand if you would prefer to spend your time elsewhere (or in a game with more pace).

In reply to Evil GM (msg # 134):

I'm still fine with continueing.
Yes, it's not a fast game, and yes, it's not even a regularly paced game.
I still enjoy it anyway :).

I am not in any regularly paced game nor in any fast paced game.
Heck, the game that interests me most from a system perspective is also at max 1-2 GM posts per week, if that. The ooc:ic ratio is something like 5:1 and it's kind of waiting on GM decisions seemingly all the time.
I completely missed out on an Expanse, a MERP, a SpaceMaster and a Traveller game. A week inactivity became a couple if weeks, became months and I did it even find the time to inform, an utter shame and something I have taken pains never to do since 2010 (since joining RPoL). So I can sympathize with RL taking punches at oneself.
I urgently need to find a new job, too, and have not really found the strength and concentration.
So, well, really...

I'm good, sure I'd like to post a little more often than 1-2 a month but honestly, I also don't have as much time as I used to and it fits me rather well.

Same here, do things at your pace if you need boss, no hurry here.

You wrote the thugs wear leather, no? Damage roll of Wendoll was 13 but you noted inflicted also 13?
I am happy if they do not wear armor:D

That was a mistake. Forgot to apply the armor. Somehow slipped back into D&D mindset between applying damage to Fost and the Thug. Fixed.

I have the next post mostly finished, but I had to step away from it for a while. I'll get it finished tonight or tomorrow.

Oups, you did warn that the horse would become a problem but I had not realized the extent, i.e. that our foes would actually spend their actions to calm or intimidate it.

Cannot remember: is the horse war-trained? Would it rather spook and flee or lash out at everyone around it? Does Fost even know? Or would it take a roll? Cunning maybe?

You've spent enough time on the horse to know without a roll.

The horse appears to have some war training, but it's more of a rouncey than a charger, that is, it's more of a ride to the fight than fight on it. As such, it felt like Fost feels it would be a bit more skittish in a fight than steady.

And the bandits trying to move the horse probably has to do with getting more bodies on the line against y'all.

Question just so I don't mess up, I don't find anything against it but want to be certain. Can I do several different combat stunts in one round? I got 6 SP And I could mirror Fost's dual strike for 4 points, but was wondering if I could pair that with mighty blow for another 2 points for a total of 6. I also understand that this extra damage would only apply to the first target (if doable at all).

Sure you can combine SP expenditure.

Do note that Dual Strike for Warriors of our level only costs 3 SP!

Bother I just read that Skirmish only allow for own movement or target of the attack.
So no moving of the horse.

I'll edit asap

Well, with our combined strikes and some luck, this ramp business shouldn't take too long anyway.

We really are in sync this fight, for the better. Felt it would be tougher, but those good rolls are tilting things in our favor rather fast. :D

In reply to Erin (msg # 148):

Yup, just wonder where our dear mage is though...

If we don't hear from him today, I'll ping him.

Sorry guys, mid term exams swamped me. A quarter of the students were sick and I had to redo the whole test...
