'About' 30 seconds, 'say' 6 rounds :) There's at least 1/2 round while she determines the direction of the kerfuffle. Round 3 Aurvandil successfully stops the horse, which counts as his standard action this round. On a successful Ride check he can turn the horse on a sixpence and ride back to...

The following takes place as round 3 begins off near the treeline. Ulfang manages to pin the burglar's wayward arm. "Mmf!" Aerec dashes by and Baran comes running up behind the barbarian and his floored quarry. The burglar turns his head sideways, eyes rolling to take in the face of the huge...

This isn't restricted to DMs. I've DMd in Middle-Earth before (and right now on Enworld actually) and have come across my fair share of 'purists' who corrected me on every little detail: DM: it's a full moon, so you can see the approaching band of orcs quite well, though they can't see you as...

Combat Round 2 Ulfang grapples his downed foe (still need a roll) and Aurvandil runs down a fleeing burglar Aurvandil's horse thunders mightily into the rearmost burglar, sending him flying into a bush of prickly bracken edging the slope near the treeline. The horse gallops on, Aurvandil...

I did assume he was wearing armour. Mental correction made. Running rates, in my head I assume all base speeds are respective due to *everyone* running full pelt (four times base speed), which makes it easier for me (not the best mathematician in the world) to calculate catch ups using my brain...

Commune With Nature, hm, doesn't really fit. I like better the idea of her having a racial ability, call it Elf-Sense, over which she has *little* control. And I like the parameters you've laid out: of some attunement to the elf, or in close proximity. She's likely been thinking of this...

Player input is required at the OOC thread, if you haven't already checked it recently http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=224404&page=1 : Welcome to the game! Aerec and Baran have the same base speed, so he won't catch up with Baran to ask "Who are we chasing?" though he can shout it out...

I think your opening post described her life in Thranduil's realm well. She probably lives on a rota basis, living with her clan for days at a time, maybe even weeks, then heading out into the safer parts of Mirkwood to check on the activity of the Men of the camp. If she has something to...

Geez, you forget to look at the OOC thread for one day and all hell breaks loose ;) This isn't the first time I've used the PBEM style for forum gaming. And yes, there is the occassional hook up glitch, but glitches invariably sort themselves out. The *most* dangerous potential problem is with...

The barbarian reaches much the same conclusion as Baran: too short for Men or Elves, too slender for dwarves, and their movement is too spry for goblinoids. His experience of this latter is limited, but he imagines them to be monstrous and clumsy, and these characters are nimble and quick. His...

Riiiight Sorry Binder_Fred for screwing with your rolls! And thanks Redclaw for the enlightenment :) Baran recognises the curse as *possibly* a Westron expletive. Not particularly common. Given that he came from Moria originally, I'm assuming he travelled across country and through the Vale...

I actually would sympathise with your GM in this case (edit: though he shouldn't have exercised his resentment in-character).

This would probably be a good point for an Eotheod horsemaster and/or a Knight of Gondor to come running at the sound of 'THIEF THIEF'... 'HINT HINT' :) Spot checks vs Disguise per burglar 19(21), 7(15), 17(28), 6(24), 7(21) Good rolls! (race, sex, attire, colour of skin; anything to tell of...

. For rolls, please use Invisible Castle http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/ and provide a link to your rolls pls. DM prerogative, I won't usually provide links to rolls where I've added to or subtracted from the roll or where the number/type of rolls might give away information about what I'm...

yes. Yes, I got that from your original post in the OOC thread. However, I've chosen to start the game here (after some consideration) in order to get things moving for all players. Yes, the game progresses anyway, but Rping sub threads at this stage isn't ideal as it musses up the opening...

You have to ask yourself why they let them come back?? Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. My worst experience was part of my best, unfortunately. The first D&D group I played with back in the 80s. My DM was a biker called Tony who I worshipped (the best DM in the world bar none and the...

comp copy sent and you're more than welcome. I just had a look through the file (funny reading something you wrote three odd years ago). It'll need a few alterations for 4e, but I think it should be helpful to your needs, especially the breakout scenarios and suggestions. There's a table in...

I wrote a kind of guide/adventure combo for Forever People's Opus Operandi campaign setting called Escape From Carthidge which pretty much suits your purposes to a T - its a d20 prison guide with floorplans and lots of details including escape scenarios (there's a perilous maze under the prison...

...and not forgetting their insatiable and collective desire to breed!

With that in mind, do we need to go the route of Vitality/Wounds?
