Now, after 4 Hexes, you get a Event.

((1 (Feat Die), 3)).

The 3 on the Skill die means the targets are the Look-outs (Awareness).

The 1 on the Feat die says which Event it is.

Since the event happens along a road, the Player-hero gains rolling vs. the Event gains (+1d).

07:00, Today: Vidar son of Flar rolled a total of 9 (9 if weary): a failure using the The One Ring with a target of 14 with rolls of 9 (Feat Die).  Reroll of Feat Die.

That brings the total to a 30.

Thanks!
(it does not change the result, which is a Great Success-- but it does avoid the Eye!)

Awesome.  Thank you.

Hope I was in time with the healing roll. We've been away this weekend so I just couldn't keep up.

No problem! Hoping you had a good week-end.

Aredhel had rolled-- and failed.
So Orodil's roll will be counted as being done the next day (or taking effect the next day) since only one roll can be made per day, until a successful roll is made-- thus you will reduce the duration by 1 day.

Vidar can make a Travel roll for the next Marching Test, as the Guide.

Aredhel got helped by Orodil: 7 days down to 6, and then 4 days of Travel so 6 down to 2 left.

I have 2 pips in both stealth and battle as well as the secretive feature which I think might be relevant for setting up an ambush. If you all support me it could work?

If you all support me it could work?
To Aid, you need one dot in the Skill you are aiding in.
(stealth and/or battle here)
You spend one Hope and give an extra Skill die.
(if you are giving the Aid to your Fellowship Focus, you give two dice, because you inspire them)

@Mip - okay re. being with the most advanced three.
I thought you were lying down near the fire and all...
(not too important, I thought the others are just a little ahead, not super far).

@Galar - helping with hunting/battle and subtracted hope
Okay (was not sure you'd be taking both), thanks for the Company's sake, and I put the two Fellowship Points back.

If you enter combat-- you are the attackers, so the Orcs go first.

But, since the Orcs are surprised (or will be!) they will not do the opening volley, nor take part in the first close combat attack.

Which means you get your Opening Volley-- and then your Melee Attack.
After which, in round 2, the Orcs go first...

All right. I want to smash the horn the orc is wearing first thing, is there any special action/roll required for such a thing?

I believe there are no rules for breaking things, targeting objects...

So, I will go with Severely Hindered (like targeting a small bird etc.) and thus a loss of 2d.

Make your ranged roll with -2 dice.

I'll do an ordinary volley first, then try and smash the horn in the Close Quarters Round instead.

From Eye to 10 and threatening to Wound-- good use of a Fellowship Point!

EDIT: note-- the Horn is the 'woe' from the success with woe.
(might attract the entire group!).

I will move along with this encounter without Aredhel & Mip (logging in but not posting) and without Vidar (we'll see if they reappear - a week w/o logging in, and a bit more w/o posting).
I do not want to have people wait for days for others.

I am really sorry I got work at work up to both eyelids.

I hope you'll manage and not get too tired, "Mip"!
No problem.
And I fully understand, life, everything--and this is just a game.
So nothing aggressive or personal, I am just trying to keep things moving and not get those who are posting bored etc..

Don't know about you guys but I'm getting really tired of the Sauron rune... :)

Favored rolls help!--at least.

Haha, yeah, sometimes... nervmind me though, I'm just grumpy today.

Rangers... long age makes them grumpy! xD

I really like the game, I like ho everything is running and I don't wanna leave ..

but

at least for the next 2 weeks I got too much work to do.

I really try to post on the week-ends.

Okay!
Thanks for telling us.
