[sblock=Adventure Rules]If these look familiar to some of you, it's because I am cheating and starting from perrinmiller's useful setup, because it works, and I see no point in reinventing the wheel.

* I will use group initiatives, rolling them myself. So in combat you must post your actions within 48-72 hours of the players turn coming up. Unless stated by a character that their actions are to follow another character, they will be resolved in posted order. After that time, if there was no communication with the DM, I will NPC the MIA player and move on.

* Dice rollers can be Invisible Castle or the EnWorld on-line dice roller for the players. I will using my own methods for rolling in order to keep secret rolls properly secret.

* Any absences for longer than 2-3 days should be communicated to the DM. If you do not post for a week or more without having informed the DM, he reserves the right to remove you from the adventure giving you your share of the XP and treasure earned as well as time XP and gp to the date of your last post

* If your character gets enough XP to level they may do so immediately. This grants the extra hp, but does not heal damage, and grants any additional spell slots, but not spells prepared. A caster capable of spontaneously casting could use these slots normally, a cleric could only use them for cure or inflict spells, a druid for summon nature's ally, etc. Prepared casters may prepare spells in these slots as if they had left the slots blank for the day, if they are able to do so. They can go through the appropriate spell preparation as if they had already rested if applicable.

* All characters need an appropriate character picture. Also a mini-stat spoiler block that includes a link to your character sheet will be required in every IC post during a fight. [/sblock]

Seeing that she is the first to reach the horses, Naria picks a black mare as hers. While she waits she feeds the horse a couple apples before putting her gear on her back. "Whats her name?" Naria asks as she lloks to the stable manager.

"Her name is Midnight. Shes a good horse." the stable manager responds in a raspy voice as he turns to finish the preparations on the other horses.

Having never needed to ride a horse ever, Megan is a little skittish in the stable. "Give me the tamest horse you have!" She declared.

"Take Cotton then. He's gentle and has never tossed anyone."

OOC: What's the BB code for links?

"Hey, at least I was faster than Ariel ... and Audra. I will take a horse that is 'beginner friendly, good man." The Guardian says to the stable manager as he arrives.

"That would be Cotton, but he is already taken. Rose here has some spirit, but if she likes you, you should have no problem, sir."

Ariel Esimae, Female Aasimar Cleric

Ariel as usual is one of the last to arrive, but it doesn't bother her, "I see most of us are here."

Being somewhat fearless, and knowing nothing of horses, she takes whatever horse the groomsman brings for her. Considering the weight of her gear she is more than happy to transfer some things from her backpack to saddle bags. Looking up at the large beast, she is not sure how to get aboard. She looks around for a ladder or something since the stirrups are only dangling at eye level on her.

"Umm, is there a shorter one? Can you kneel down for me."

She pats the horse to try and get it to listen, but the equine just stares back at the Aasimar woman. Getting nowhere, Ariel plants the butt of her longspear in the ground and uses it to help boost her up high enough to get a foot in the stirrup and climb aboard.

[sblock=OOC]I just quote my last post or copy things from my last combat post. My picts and mini-stats only look like a signature. In fact you can quote any post and see the BB Code (except for images). For Invis Castle they provide the BB Code and then I sometimes edit the text of the link.

I realize the Handle Animal is trained only, but sometimes you can still use some skills untrained but cannot beat anything higher than DC10.[/sblock][sblock=Mini Stats]Initiative: +2

Ariel Esimae

With help from the stable master, Megan climbs onto her horse. "Let us go forth and wait wait wait why is she running? Someone slow her down and Naria, stop throwing her apples!"

Mr. Savi steps into the stable just as Megan's horse starts to take off, and manages to catch it's stirrup as it tries to go by. "You seem to be having some trouble there. And Ms. Ariel, Ajax responds better to food than words initially. Try some of these treats." Mr. Savi hands Ariel some apples as he shows Megan how to get Cotton to follow her lead. "When you go, if you could take Blossom, that appaloosa mare over in the corner, with you for Adolfo, you'll save my men a trip. Her saddlebag should have all the papers and information that Adolfo requested and needs for the journey."
