Sorry about the delay. Rowan's attack roll vs. gr6: 20. In his rage, even his smallest weapon is good for 7 HP damage. The ugly creature growls but continues to fight. If Rowan takes a diagonal 5' step, he's unthreatened by any of the enemy creatures. That puts him 5' away from the grimlock's...

Sorry for the delay. So, you're proceeding across the bridge in the order: Eanos, Pendrake, Semabin. The bridge consists of spans of massive stone blocks. The bridge seems solid. It rises 2 feet above the water surface at its highest point, eventually connecting to the road on the other side...

In one of the early comics, Haley stated that he was a 1st edition Thief. So, it's backstab rules -- multiply damage instead of adding a bonus.

It might be, but it's not clear. Nurlan never said he had been there, just that he met someone who had, so who knows where it is? I throw out a lot of place names as origins for songs in Nurlan's repertoire; I don't try to figure out geographical details, nor even establish anything significant...

Keep in mind that Carduth is an *empire*. It is not a monoculture. There are no doubt many varied cultures in the lands Carduth has conquered over the years. (That, in fact, is why I wanted Nurlan's background to be in an empire.)

You go on your way, the dwarf goes on his. After about a mile walking along the underground river you find a large sea (still underground). Not far from you is the beginning of a bridge, too long for you to see where it leads.

Phoenix' attack: 19. Damage: 13. The grimlock is bleeding profusely, but not fallen. The goblin with the morningstar takes a swing at Phoenix, but still can't quite get through. (Attack: 18) Rowan's turn...

The cave is four squares wide here, so there are walls on either side of the current battlefield. (It's roughhewn, not completely straight or constant width, but as far as occupiable space measured in 5' squares goes, that's about right.) If I've tracked movement correctly, I think the raging...

Both arrows hit their targets. Neither is a kill, but the grimlock is thrown for a loop by the pain, its movements disrupted. The two axe-wielding grimlocks each swing at the obvious target, with #7 stepping around the fiery dog to reach Lookspring. Both Rowan and Lookspring are too...

Nurlan is, like everyone probably, taken aback at the psychopath's outburst, but amazed at how easily Joe has the situation under control. "Count on Joe Smith". After he recovers his composure, he takes the dice again and rolls 6 and 5. "Eleven. I guess it's down to Richard and Karl. May the...

I'm assuming by "north" you mean "forward" -- the up direction on the maps I've been sketching. Rowan gets a sense of the stony character of his adversary's skin, as his dagger fails to penetrate the grimlock's natural armour. The unidentified creature follows him and leaps at him with all it...

... and, finally, that raging grimlock barbarian is vanquished, down to -1 HP. It falls to the ground, raging no more. Phoenix then hurries up, provoking attacks of opportunity: * The hideous creature that just materialized behind her reaches out with a claw, but can't reach around her shield...

I don't think Vaarsuvius could hallucinate his own familiar. It's well established that the familiar isn't there when he forgets about it, but is automatically present when he remembers. If he's thinking about it, it has to be there. The only way he could imagine it without it being there would...

Both arrows hit, and the grimlock is bleeding. Monstrous it may be, but it is humanoid enough to bleed. While flinching a little at the pain, it nevertheless continues its motions. As Lookspring moves toward the cave wall, he notices what had eluded his view before: another grimlock, wielding...

Grimlock's strength check: 15. Rowan connects to trip the monster, but fails to apply sufficient force to knock his target down. The grimlock replies with a countertrip: Grimlock's strength check 21 Rowan's strength check 18 Rowan must either drop the flail or be tripped. Which does he do...

Discerning observers will note that, in contrast to his opponents, Nurlan is quite unexcited by the stakes. The game is a social pastime to him, and whether he wins or loses the two-crown kitty isn't going to make a big difference to him. With this air of casual indifference, he takes his turn...

I suspect there are too many adventurers for that. Whatever you do, after you recruit, there will still be a lot of us around in the tavern. Fixing the level in advance is one way to select from the large pool currently available. But you can also indicate in your proposal that you're prepared...

The judges' email addresses are listed at the bottom of the first post in the Guide to LEW thread. There are 10 of us. It's best to email all of us, since you don't know who will read your proposal. Some of us may be too busy on any given day. Others may be hoping to play the adventure, and so...

Regarding non-core monsters: the question I as judge would ask is, "If X is found in Y, is it plausible that we're unlikely ever to encounter more of them?" If you propose an infestation of some kind of monster that threatens to overrun the world, that's something we'd all have to deal with, and...

The dwarf points in the direction whence he came. "Pedestal behind. I come from theah."
