Seeing Phoenix' perfect slash down the grimlock charging him, Rowan draws his bow to fire at the drow. His aim is excellent, as his arrow lands right in the torso. Attack 20+8=28, crit confirm fails, damage 7. The drow collapses, leaving only the goblins standing. Initiative order: Lookspring...

Perhaps. On the other hand, would their creators have thought to market them if the RPG industry hadn't shown the way?

... and the grimlock falls to the ground. The drow holds up a hand crossbow and fires a bolt, but it goes wide of its target. (Attack: 7) The surviving grimlock charges at Rowan, but his scythe doesn't penetrate the latter's armour. (Attack: 14) From behind the fallen grimlock, goblin #2 runs...

Have we lost Michael again? If we don't hear from him soon, then for whatever reason he didn't follow you through the portal. If he shows up again, then he came after some delay, and we'll work with that. For now, you can decide how long in game-time you waited to see if he'd come after you...

Here's the arrangement: gob1 d1 gob2 gr2 gr1 Row Ph Look From about 50' away, gob1 throws a javelin at Phoenix. From that distance it is not an easy aim, and it glances harmlessly off her arm. Attack roll: 12, including range penalty Lookspring has readied an action; at...

Semabin and Eanos are teleported.. they know not where, but they land next to Pendrake. Nothing you say will be heard by those on the other side of the portal -- it's too far away, wherever it is. On the upside, with your torches, you can now see. You are in a massive underground space, between...

There are a number of medium-sized rocks lying loose, but nothing large enough to be an anchor against a man's weight. So Eanos holds the rope. When Semabin goes through, Eanos feels too powerful a tug. He must either let go or be pulled to the other side. It is a decision you must make...

Semabin, with the rope tied around him, touches the `X' and like Pendrake is pulled through. Who or what is holding the rope on the other side?

All spiders are dead. Meanwhile, the yelling gets closer, although none of you can understand what anyone is saying. Five creatures come into the sunrod's illumination range: two goblins, one dark elf, and two unfamiliar, drab-grey coloured humanoid creatures. The last two are grimlocks, a...

The web-throwing was from the surprise round; the attempted bites were round 1. Remember, Lookspring only heard something unidentifiable. Nobody saw them until the webs appeared, and nobody would have been able to act. So I treated that as surprise. Round 2: you hear some yelling from farther...

When you fell through the wall, you fell... not sure where. You had a sense of moving, possibly teleportation, but you can't tell where you ended up. You landed on the ground, but not hard. It's completely dark, and without your own light source you can see nothing. You also hear nothing from...

Of course. I've edited it now. When I took over The Forgotten Map I got into the habit of associating your username with Karl. I've got to get a new set of habits by association now.

Pendrake inspects the panel with the 'X' for any unusual features. As he touches it, the rest of you watch as he is pulled through and out of sight.

Rolled for what? What kind of a check were you trying to make?

At the urging of the others, Rowan looks up, and also draws his guisarme. The threat, however, is very well-hidden. I rolled an extra spot check at +4 because you knew the general direction to look, but you still saw nothing until... ...until three spider-web nets are thrown down, one at each...

The group files down the tunnel and soon loses all light from outside. What are you using for a light source? The tunnel is a rough passage cut out of the stone. After a short stretch you reach an alcove on the left, while the main passage continues. The alcove is about 5' deep and ends in a...

I'll assume everyone follows Eanos to the hole, unless you tell me otherwise. Including Michael, who had initially started in the opposite direction. The hole is wide enough for one human (or similarly-sized creature) at a time to let himself down. It starts a downward sloping passage; without...

You continue through the cave, which bends left and right while gently sloping downward. After about 100'... Spot checks: Rowan 14, Phoenix 12, Lookspring 10. Nobody sees anything. Listen checks: Rowan 8, Phoenix 9, Lookspring 21. I'm rolling these for you because I'm not sure how long these...

Do you think a statue of Gygax himself is the best way to immortalize him? How about a statue of an adventuring party, equipped for dungeon exploration? The human in the party could be given Col Pladoh's face.
