Hope I didn't come across as railroading there. If you hadn't suggested that I was going to have Vardolas do it. I'll have time to do a real update tomorrow.

No roll necessary here... I'm expecting that at this point you'll split into two groups, each exploring one path, with the people who have dropped out conveniently going off together...

I mean that I only have 1 healing word left, to use on either you or me. So I'm using it on me, because that will let me stretch my remaining surges out farther.

"Just give me five minutes to rest," Tarkus says. "We're all hurt and we don't know what else is waiting for us out there." He concentrates and lays hands on Martelai, and a silver glow heals his wounds. Tarkus stumbles backwards and sits down, hard, panting from the effort. "Sorry," he says...

Heh. I'll just ignore that, in favour of a hook to split the party... Scouting back along the deep gully the Troll and its pet left while wading through the muck, Authiel quickly spots two side trails. Near one is an iron nail of the same type used in both Orin and Borin's boots. Near the...

"Hello, little dragon man," Ironheart rumbles politely. "Have we met?"

As the giants fall, Tarkus at last has a spare moment to wipe the soot out of his eyes and gaze on the enemies they just defeated. "Is anyone hurt?" he asks brusquely.

I plan to retire Tarkus after this adventure - pacifist cleric was fun for a while, but it's too one note - so any treasure he gets is immaterial.

A large, thick log has been rolled against one wall. It suddenly convulses and, with a rustle of leaves, heaves itself upright. "...and then we jumped into the vortex and I found myself back here. I will never use a ship again. From now on I do all my travelling by vortex." Ironheart looks...

The Great Success (1 tengwar) means you do double damage, so 10 Endurance. That takes it down to 1 Endurance left. This is just a regular hit. Your mattock does 8 damage, and has an Edge of 10 - so your 8 on the d12 doesn't have a chance for Piercing Blow. But that's fine, since the 8 takes...

The initial ranged volley is over, and combat begins! Every character must choose a "combat stance", which is how engaged you are in combat - are you right up close to the enemy, taking risks in order to get a better chance to land a blow, or fighting really defensively and conservatively (or...

All right then, I guess for this combat I'll be NPC'ing Borin, Orin and Vardolas. Only Vardolas has a missile attack. 22 is a hit (forgot that he had the bonus die granted by Authiel, so I had to add it later). Vardolas' Bow has Damage 5 (so the wolf loses 5 endurance), Edge 10 (so if he...

I just got a PM from fireinthedust - he's dropping out for lack of time. And still nothing from garyh, so I assume he's out too. So what do you want to do? Should we bother continuing? Or NPC those three characters for this fight and then find an excuse to split the group up and have the...

I've finally figured out how to use the online character server, so you can now see the same character sheets I'm using! Go to The One Ring - Online Character Sheet, click on "Online Character Server" in the list of buttons on the right, and enter this info: Group: JoeNotCharles-pbp Password...

You can pose yourself preparing however you want, but there's no extra mechanical effect: the Battle roll you already made is assumed to be the result of all your preparation. Let's see, you have 3 body, so alas, yes. Eek! That's basically a critical fumble... And I notice Authiel actually...

I just jumped in because NOBODY was rolling - I figured since there's no decision to be made, it's just "roll these dice and see how high you get" it doesn't matter who rolled it. The decision comes in when to use the bonus dice. Yes! You can spend a point of Hope to add your Body rating to...

Do area attacks ignore the blindness penalty? That'd be convenient. Wouldn't matter here, though, with those low rolls.

OOC: Thanks a lot! Just got back from a week of ignoring the boards due to long hours at work - I was afraid I was missing the tail of the fight. This is a nice surprise to come back to!

Tarkus hears Martelai cry out an stumbles towards him, stopping as he feels the heat of the fire on his face. He also feels another heat - the Ettin's song pulses through him an he feels a familiar anger building. "No," he mutters. "Juna wants me to renounce violence." BUt the song of rage is...

Hooray! Thanks, covaithe! That Level 4 applies to Ironheart, too, right? Encounter XP lifts me to level 4, and then the time XP is applied?
