"'Many hands make light work,'" quoth Pier. "I agree with Vatan: The townspeople are numerous enough to haul the wagons back, and Aridha can get there and bring them back swiftly. In the meantime, I think we should despoil and dispose of the carrion and guard the remaining goods until they get...

Pier curses under his breath when he realizes that he may have just undone what the group set out to accomplish. He dashes across the clearing to the burning wagon and starts cutting away the burning canvas with his dagger, hoping to save the town's remaining supplies. Move + Standard: Move to...

The dagger flashes as Pier again sketches runes in the air. The two orcs headed for the cart dive headlong into another burst of fire. With luck, Pier thinks, that will be hot enough to hurt the one inside the wagon, too. Move: none Minor: pass Standard action: Scorching burst Target: K5...

Do the trees block line of sight? If so, Pier moves to I12. If not, he stays put. Taking his cue from the twang of Druthruss' crossbow, Pier gestures with his dagger, and flames erupt from the ground in the midst of the orcs, throwing clods of dirt and sparks in every direction. Move: See...

Pier eases carefully through the trees but takes care not to move too close; he doesn't want to give away the surprise. He takes a firm grip on the staff in his left hand and quietly draws his dagger with his right. Since Druthruss seems likely to be the one to start the fight, Pier watches the...

Just an observation concerning PC psychology: Insurmountable obstacles look an awful lot like important plot points. More control can be had by making it look as though the PCs have solved the immediate problem, which frees them to look back at their original goal. Whether or not the problem...

As he passes by Deeson Voss, Pier pauses a moment, "Master Voss, we got a look at your storage houses, and the orcs have emptied them. Without foodstuffs, I do not think you have much chance to survive here. We can try to shepherd you to barbarian lands, but I do not know what kind of reception...

In my games, I've simply been letting the players change the cosmetics to suit their concept as long as they leave the mechanics alone. So the dwarven rogue has a weapon that appears to be a handaxe, but it has all the properties of a dagger. I did have to rule that Dwarven Weapon Training...

Aridha — Controller/Striker Druthruss — Striker Pier — Controller Vatan — Defender Weel — Leader That's our current loadout. We have all the roles covered, but I wouldn't mind seeing a bit more potential damage output. Leveled up. New Feat: Improved Initiative. New Powers: Expeditious Retreat...

Pier leans heavily on his staff as the big orc finally collapses. He walks slowly to the center of the battle site and looks down at Gwendolyn sadly. "Go gladly to your rest, stranger, and may the gods welcome you." He pulls her cloak across her face to hide the grievous wound that slew her. He...

Don't forget the ongoing 5 acid damage (save ends) from Acid Arrow. Apologies if you already accounted for it, but it wasn't in your turn description. I suspect we'll need every point of damage we can squeeze out here. Hearing the orc bellow at him, Pier turns to stick out his tongue, but in...

As soon as the big orc turns its attention on him and moves away from Weel and Vatan, Pier smiles nastily. He's been waiting for an opportunity, and he takes it immediately. With a quick underhanded toss, he flips the bit of firewood he'd collected the night before toward Kranaak. A moment of...

You've got nothing on my last game of Alternity, I bet. I was playing a tech specialist whose primary skillset was computer hacking and secondary was space pilot. I had only rudimentary combat skills. We encountered at least three computers that had important plot information on them, and every...

Pier continues pouring energy into his spell against Kranaak. Move: pass Minor: pass Standard action: Magic Missile Target: Kranaak Damage: 7 Magic Missile Standard Action | Ranged 20 Always hits | 2 + 5 (INT) damage Target: One Creature Special: Receives implement bonus to...

Crowing at his success with the adjusted spell, Pier waves his staff above his head, taunting the orc. "You'll need to bring more than a great stench to win this battle! Anstarre Kohlorum!" The air ripples, a bolt of force coalescing to strike the orc in the chest. Move: pass Minor: pass...

Pier shouts in triumph as the mass of orcs falls before the onslaught. He casts a keen eye toward the newcomer, gauging the range carefully. He walks forward, raising his staff in one hand and canting mightily, "Klamarra taraes invocum morte cimaran echendi tumorus aframian chalanta Errate!" He...

Yeah, what's up with that? That's my job!

Pier steps in a small hole as the party rushes forward to the attack. Cursing, he untangles himself from his cloak and staff and runs to catch up. He takes a quick look across the battlefield and gestures with the tip of his dagger toward a cluster of orcs. The ground erupts in flames among...

Sorry! I got caught up in a move and totally forgot to come here. It's a little tough for me to get to the Internet at the moment, but I'm definitely still playing. I'll try to get caught up. By the way, if you're thinking of moving, don't bother with that U-Box service from U-Haul. They...

Pier emerges from the warehouse and looks over the ground, seeking signs of the raiders. "We can check it since we're here, but let's not waste too much time—I suspect that it will not be difficult to track the looters back to their camp from here. If they've already cleaned the town out of its...
