The adventurers on the ground could see the ominous picture more clearly than could those on the roof. The woman took the end of the rope, looped it around herself, and then... well, her attempt to tie a knot could be called "flailing." She certainly didn't seem to know what she was doing. Then...

The building was designed with the intent that people would walk on it, so there's a railing. While failure is possible, actually failing badly enough to fall yourselves is... unlikely. Theoretically I'd say that Kincaid could either make a group check (he also makes a check; at least half of...

Torrent nodded and took a corner. The group of adventurers held the blanket taught. It was large and strong enough to make a serviceable net... assuming they'd be able to get it under the victim and keep hold of it as she hit. Kincaid and Caleb reach the roof without incident or any particular...

Kincaid took in the fire licking at the open door, the smoke from the windows, the terrible burns on the people who he knew had fled from the second or third floor, the fact that the victim had announced the stairs were filled with flame... He didn't think a route through the building was...

"Oh thank you," said the woman with tears in her eyes as Caleb tended her husband. He was burned, and had a wound at the back of his head and neck from something falling on him, but under Caleb's care his breathing steadied and he seemed like he would survive. "Yes, thank you, yes. We're all...

I'm still playing with whether we'll actually use XP or just level as appropriate, but for now... Each PC has earned 60 XP.

Kathor noticeably paled when General Danava was mentioned. "I--you--you recognize--I suppose that's not impossible..." He shook his head. "I have had no contact with my--with the general since I left the Ragesian army. He does not know where I am, and probably assumes I am no longer in the area...

Y'wanna know about the Black Horses? Sure. Make just one check, and open any boxes you beat: The Black Horses are a disreputable band of mercenaries (they mostly prefer "bounty hunters"). There are about 25 members, mostly humans and half-orcs. Their leader is a human man named Renard...

"I've heard of the Black Horses," said Torrent, "and they're not a Ragesian military unit. They're--" "Mercenaries," interjected Kathor without looking at her; he practically spat the word, apparently not very happy with his present occupation. "Maybe they wanted us to distract you. More likely...

NPCs don't usually follow PC class and level rules but monster creation rules. They often have weaker attacks but the Multiattack ability, which is generally more limited than Extra Attack. Sauce is actually named in the adventure.

That was the burning hands. The dragonbomb was the thing that hit the building and splashed the burning oil. If anything, I was a little generous with the area there.

The fire washed over the two humans and the three half-orcs. One of the humans managed to duck under and away from the brunt of the flames, but none of the others was quick enough. Even so, the other human seemed to endure the fire fairly well, simply grinning back. The half-orcs didn't seem as...

If you're going to roll a 1 on a save, save or take 1 damage is the time to do it.

The man gritted his teeth and raised his empty left arm protectively between himself and Torrent, but he was unable to do anything to protect his mount. With a terrible scream, with flailing hooves, the beast was forced away from Torrent and collapsed to the ground with blood dripping from its...

The soporific power of the spell washed over the grunts, but most managed to resist its effects. The scarred half-orc at the bottom of the stairs crumpled into a heap, apparently fast asleep. Scout 1 falls asleep. Thugs have quite a lot of HP for their CR... Initiative order: Davaros, Toby...
