"We lost our horses as well," one member of this band near Nurthk offers, "otherwise we'd put them to your service." After some time, the man who seems to have taken charge -- Benneth, you gather his name to be -- approaches Fendric. "I think this is everyone who was near the surface," he...

The situation appears grim at what remains of the caves. Beneath the loose sheet of rocks and boulders, pieces of furniture and gear can be seen poking through, and among them the limbs of those who tried to flee, but were caught in the mouths of the falling caverns as they collapsed. In...

Tatlock regards the fall of the last arrowhawk with a certain exhiliration; his mood, however, quickly softens as he sees the body aboard Ulsys' vessel, and is finally flattened by the serious, still somewhat panicked faces of the approaching men in their motley outfits made common by the...

When I was putting together the encounter, I started off with the arrowhawks. I looked over the stats and abilities, and asked myself: "How are they going to survive this?" After considering it for a little while, I shrugged and said "that's their problem." Then I added the earthquake, a tidal...

I had a question privately about how I calculate my XP awards, and since the response ended up being pretty long, and potentially of general interest, I decided to post it here as well. I've put it in an sblock, since people may not want that much behind-the-scenes insight. There's not a...

Coming in as you did was fine; the combat was basically wrapped up, and would have been completely wrapped up if I could've gotten a post in sooner. By the way, any map that I've completed is available through the front page of this thread. I've got some work done on a map for Malita (which...

(Bit of a backtrack -- tried to post this a couple of days ago, but ENWorld wasn't working, and after that I've had a rough weekend. Anyway, yes, this does end the combat, although the wind is still strong, and the rain is still getting stronger.) Xiao tosses another rock up, and this one...

The men in the yellow scarves continue their approach, firing another empty volley through the wild air at the last remaining arrowhawk. (Forgot that part of Round 9.) Raven approaches the edge of the cliff, firing off, but his own arrow does no better. Tatlock at this point is merely hanging...

Round 9 completed Xiao tosses a rock up at the bird above him, but comes nowhere near striking it. Fendric's hippogriffs appear, and immediately tear into the surprised arrowhawk. When the flurry of beaks and claws is over, the hawk falls crashing to the rocks. Round 10 24 Raven 23 Tatlock 22...

Fenris: I'll ask for rolls when needed (for stuff like Spot, Sense Motive, et cetera, I try to ask before they're immediately relevant, to keep from dropping too big a clue). Character sheets belong to you guys; I've been overall really satisfied with the way this goes. dpdx: #1 and #3 are the...

Round 8, and most of Round 9! Hiritus marks his sword to the sky, prepared to attack should the arrowhawk strike again. Seeing this, his opponent (#1) instead fires another bolt, putting some distance between it and Raven as it goes. (Ignored since Hiritus' resistance is greater than the max...

Sparky: If I wasn't clear, you can pick another action, since that one was based on faulty info. To be fair, I did specify that the horses were "bloody and motionless" as of Round 5. Of course, your posts indicated that you'd missed that, and while I did notice this, I never actually pointed...

Only the last of Raven's three arrows connects with the larger bird. It still does not appear to be too close to falling. Tatlock lets loose his sling again, but his release is off and the bullet clutters to the rocks only a few feet away from him. Nurthk's two arrows make it a bit farther...

Round 7 Raven handles the wind well, with only the second of his three arrows being pulled off target. The large bird bears the injury without much visible trouble, although it has clearly become quite worn-down by the onslaught. Tatlock's sling, however, remains ineffective. Only the first...

Sounds great to me. I'll wait until after this combat to introduce your character; basically just write something up, find a good spot to introduce your character into the game, and then hop right in.

(slight backtrack) Fendric's second searing light is even more successful than the first. The arrowhawk lets out a cry, then crashes to the ground. It lies motionless upon the rocks. Nurthk tosses the crossbow down to Oliver while unshouldering his own, and selects a target. He estimates that...
