The ants break off their chewing on the bridge and swarm at Jarro. None of them manage to hit. The lone ant which can not get to him instead bites at the strange floating thing. It appears to connect, but there's no visible damage and no other effect visible.[sblock=Enemy Actions]Big Mandible Ant 4

E.g., if you want Sven to use use his crossbow, you spend a standard action. If you want him to move, you spend a move action. An NPC is limited to the usual number of actions each round (but those actions need not all be granted by the same PC). An NPC who has an immediate action can likewise only use it if a PC has an immediate action available to use on his/her behalf.

NPCs can take free actions and opportunity actions normally, without the direction of PCs. They are always considered to have their weapons in hand and don’t need to spend actions unsheathing them.

If Sven has used his crossbow and has any actions left he will, without prompting, use a minor action to reload. If he is out of range of any targets, and has not been given any orders this round, he will move so that he is in range.[/sblock][sblock=Sven]Sven

[/sblock][sblock=Bridge Challenge!]The ants are trying to destroy the bridge. It is up to Our Heroes to stop them. If an ant spends two standard actions to attack the bridge, it will do one point of damage to the bridge. Our Heroes, in addition to killing ants, can repair the bridge by using the following skills/actions (One per player per round):

Spot the Weak Points
Nature 14 or Perception 14 (Minor action)
This does not directly help repair the bridge, but will provide a +2 bonus to the next check to repair the bridge.

Tie Off Loose Ends
Nature 14 or Thievery 14 (Minor action)
You must be adjacent to one of the sides of the bridge to perform this action.
Putting a knot in a frayed rope will keep the bridge standing a while longer, repairing 1 point of damage.

Hold it Together
Athletics 14 (Standard action)
You must be adjacent to one of the sides of the bridge to perform this action.
Grasping the broken strands, a feat of strength pulls them back, repairing 2 points of damage.

Instant Knot
Athletics 21 or Nature 21 (Minor action]
You must be adjacent to one of the sides of the bridge to perform this action.
Tie an ugly not, quicker than the eye can see, repairing 2 points of damage.

Get the Gang Involved
Bluff 14 or Intimidate 14 (Minor action)
Direct the cart drivers to help shore up the bridge supports.
This can only be done once for the upstream side of the bridge and once for the downstream side.
NB: the cart drivers are entirely virtual for this purpose, taking up no space and suffering no attacks. The action can not be done if an ant is adjacent to the post on the side where the cart drivers are going to work (G25 or K25).

When the bridge is down to half its damage capacity, it is easier to fall off the bridge.
When the bridge has taken 12 damage points, it collapses into the chasm.[/sblock][sblock=Falling off the Bridge]If forced movement would take you off the bridge, the following happens.

1) Roll to avoid being pushed over the edge as per normal. If the bridge has taken less than half its damage capacity, take a +5 bonus to this saving throw.

2) If you are pushed off the edge, make a DC 14 Athletics or Acrobatics roll to hang on. If you hang on, you are dangling from the bridge in the space into which you were pushed. As a move action, you can move up to 2 squares along the edge of the bridge, or you can climb back on as a move action. You grant Combat Advantage, and are at -5 to attacks while dangling.

If the bridge takes enough damage to break, everybody on the bridge must make a DC 14 Athletics or Acrobatics roll to hang on. Other things will happen then, which I will not go into detail on at the moment.

Anyone who does not hang on in either case, takes 2d10 falling damage from landing in the water, and is swept out of the fight.[/sblock][sblock=Enemy Stats]Please read the appropriate "combat stats" block(s) only when necessary to resolve attacks or OAs.

[Mewness]

The floating fish zips around wildly, its body inflating like a puffer fish and its feathery "fins" shining with coruscating colors as they flap. This creates such an unusual distraction that both Spider and Zardi get in quick slashes at the large ant. Spider connects, but Zardi does not.

The fish then darts over to Pharodeys. As it touches her, she returns briefly to life, grabbing at the ropes and holding them before the fish darts away again and she freezes in place once more.

[sblock=actions]Standard: sly fox spirit on Spider, granting him a basic attack. Spider melee basic (+2 flanking) vs AC, big ant; damage
8(1d20) +11 +2 = 21; 2(1d12) +12 = 14 hits for 14, and Zardi gets an attack as well.

Zardi melee basic vs AC (+2 flanking), big ant; damage
4(1d20) +10 +2 = 16; 6(1d12) +6 = 12 miss.

Minor: tie off loose ends. Nature DC 14
4(1d20) +10 = 14 success, fixes 1 point.[/sblock]
[sblock=Important: Spirit Effects]A reminder of the effects that the spirit (Murmur) has on combat. The first three are important to players.

• Allies gain a +2 bonus to saves while adjacent to Murmur.
• Murmur occupies 1 square. Allies can move through its space but enemies cannot.
• Any enemy that leaves a square adjacent to Murmur without shifting is subject to an opportunity attack (the Spirit’s Wrath power: +6 vs Reflex, 1d6+5 damage, and the target grants CA until the end of Pharodeys’s next turn).
• Murmur has the same defense values as Pharodeys and can be targeted by melee and ranged attacks.
• If a single melee or ranged attack deals 11 or more damage to Murmur, the spirit disappears and Pharodeys takes 6 damage. Murmur is otherwise unaffected by attacks.
• When Pharodeys takes a move action, she can move Murmur up to 6 squares as well.
• If Murmur is not present at the start of Pharodeys’s turn, she can summon it once during her turn as a free action.
• Murmur is unaffected by terrain and environmental phenomena and can float in the air.
• Murmur is not a creature. It does not count as an ally and does not provoke opportunity attacks.[/sblock]

Sound of Stone circles his allies before launching another kick at a large ant. This time the kick lands squarely and the ant is knocked back several paces, it's shell cracked and weeping internal fluids. Landing, Sound of Stone lashes out with his spear and casually skewers the remaining small ant upon the tip of his weapon.

"Little cousins should listen to big cousin. This is our bridge now! Run away!"

[sblock=Adventure: Get Me to The Church on Time]
1. Lord Adelin Mallaby recruits me and some other adventurers from the Tavern. He asked for protection, on a trip to Allaria. He is to be wed to Elena of Terconis, daughter of the Count of Terconis. According to tradition, the wedding must take place at the ancient chapel of the Terconis family, and the chapel in Count's Crovale lies in the high hills of old Allaria. The lady and the Count are already there.
2. The adventurers board Starlight's Veil, Mallaby's brig. The ship is built for speed, not cargo or battle.
3. Intended Path: Land at Ristaren (100 miles south of Fromish), and make our way up the old highway to here. A mile or two off the highway is the village of Achirem, which is still thriving in the midst of rough country, so they say. From there we cross Derianis ridge, and then down to Crovale. The last part through the hills may be dangerous.
4. We land at Ristaren, and it is a small, poor town.
5. We killed a bunch of spiders.
6. We arrived at Achirem, where Kelvan told us to watch out for:
a. Bramble scar: some kind of trap/pit thing we can't avoid.
b. Hzaka Raiders
c. Ismene: Local robin hood bandit type. Lady, with a band of rugged ladies.
7. Get Jumped, or try to Jump, some Hzaka Raiders.
8. Meet up with Ismene's band, but managed to talk our way through it.
9. Encounter: Angry Bear, Angrier bees, and a hungry frog. Graval got eaten by a frog, but Spider saved him.
10. Meet with Ismene and convince her to give us safe passage if we help her take on a local Goblin raider.
11. Launch surprise attack on Goblin tower. Climb to roof and take out archers. Jump in the tower, and find more hobgoblins.
12. Run in to some creepy mushroom field. Attacked by big mushrooms.
13. Stop to rest in an abandoned (?) charcoal burner's hut.
14. Get to Church: wife/father-in-law sent Lord M on a wild goose chase, and don't want to marry him after all.
15. Find out true love Ismene is kidnapped, and we go to her rescue. Fight a bunch of goblins.
16. Rescue Ismene from dirty goblins, give lord mallaby a chance at true love, and collect rewards.
