[QUOTE="Bihlbo, post: 3607731, member: 9961"] Visibly shaken, Mardo looks around for a good place to hide. He slips and falls over an exposed root, spilling some of his sling ammo out in the dirt. He franticly gathers it back up again, then looks at his hand, visibly trembling. He looks up to Lodric, the closest nearby and says, [COLOR=Orange]"If the elves are frightened enough by these beasts to ask for [i]our[/i] help, what hope do we stand against them?"[/COLOR] Mardo then notices Lodric set himself against a charge by the monsterous horrors, and is reminded of the stories he'd heard of when his grandfather stood, inutek in hand, against the onslaught of orc hordes taking the Erenland plains a hundred and twenty-some years before. "The bravest," they called him - [COLOR=Yellow]Yurliesk Fintwicz[/COLOR], and with his gnome allies he slew 11 orcs himself before the armies ended him. Mardo's hand calms and he stands again, pulling his dagger out and to his side, and getting his sling ready. [COLOR=Orange]"I'm sorry. I'm fine I think. We can do this."[/COLOR] With that, Mardo pushes his cart to a protected nock between some trees, and climbs a tree with lower branches not too far from the giant. [COLOR=SlateGray]OOC: woo! scary stuff! :) Marco takes 10 on his Climb check (+0 Climb) if there's a tree nearby that's reasonably easy to climb. His intent is to be no further than 25 lateral feet (not counting height) from Herger, though 15 feet would be better. He is hidden in the tree. Assuming there's a minute or so available, he's going to take 20 on the Hide. If it's a matter of moments, he has a +14 Hide. His dagger is not hidden, and his sling is at the ready with a "natural bullet" that he'd found earlier. Mardo readies: when Herger's first boulder hits, Mardo will sling a bullet at the same target. sling +6, 1d3, crit x2, range 50 ft.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
