Jarek nods and lets the dwarf get on with his job. Meanwhile, he draws his blade and readies his shield, in case trouble is brewing. (OOC: Note that Jarek does not have Ride as a trained skill, so if trouble does start, and it is less than 50 or 60 feet away, he'll dismount and run toward it...

"Right!" Jarek says with enthusiasm. "You lot finish breakfast. I'll go get the horses and stuff together." He grabs an apple from the table and strides off toward the stables, munching it happily.

@Ethandrul: Just wanted to let you know the link in your sig to miniature giant is broken. You ahve minatures-giant (with an "s"). Have a good one.

A rock with a sword stuck in it. Completely non-magical.

My minis are all plastic. I have 5 little plastic bins (about the size of a shoebox or a bit smaller) that used to be in my daughter's room for sorting toys. Four of them have the four DDM factions in them. The fifth is for my few other minis (Star Wars, some toys I stole from the kids and...

Jarek unrolls the parchment on the table and replies, "Not much. They know that 'something' is in the keep. Rumors say could be bandits, could be orcs, could be ghoulies and ghosties." He retrieves Torek's now-empty mug and uses it to pin down one corrner of the map, holding down the rest...

A suggestion for the folks at Adamant (or any publishers doing press releases): Include the author's name in the release. I had little interest in this product before, but now that I know Stormborn wrote (or co-wrote?) it, I will look into it more. His stuff is always excellent.

You are missing what Casting Defensively does, I think. :) As I understand it, Casting Defensively just keeps you from provoking an Attack of Opportunity. If an enemy chooses to swing at you and hits (while you're casting) you still have to make a separate Concentration check. For spells with...

Jarek slides a plate of bacon toward Torek and says, "Here ya go, big guy. Start with that." Turning back to the dwarf he says, "Torek's a good man, but kind of cranky when he doesn't get breakfast right away."

Actually, I believe E6 does effectively do this (BAB gets capped at 6, if you take full-BAB classes, and everybody gets a max of 6 Hit Dice). Read up on it, since, as Scurvy Platypus says, lots of people are using it. It seems well done, though I haven't tried it myself.

Jarek arises with the Sun as well. As he sits to breakfast with the others, he introduces himself to Reggie and says, "It sounds like we'll be most of the day getting to this place. We should get an early start so we can have some daylight left when we get there." "Do you have everything you...

As they depart and collect their mounts, Jarek rubs his hands together with obvious relish. "Ah, my friend, life is good. A worthy task, good folk in need of our services, and, unless my nose deceives me, someone in this neighborhood is baking apple pies." He breathes in deeply, apparently...

Jarek bows, "Many thanks, your Excellency."

Jarek shrugs. "Still sounds like camping, but that's all right I guess. Might I keep this?" he asks, rolling up the crude map. (OOC: Assuming the answer is yes, of course). "Now I think we need to find our friends and get some rest," he says with a sudden bright smile. "Ya can't properly...

Jarek looks over the rough drawing carefully before replying. Finally he says, "How far is it to this keep? Could we get there and back in a day?" Turning to Collan he observes, "I don't much like the idea of camping out overnight with whatever's there, whether it's orcs, bandits or ghosts."...

I'm going to bow out of this one, after all. I've gotten myself in trouble before by being in too many games, so at this time I think I'll just limit myself to one. Thanks.

It's really not either/or. Hamburgers are a poison that does Con damage. :)

I strongly recommend the Encyclopedia of Arda if any of the players are interested in goings-on in Middle Earth. In particular, click on the CHRONICLE OF ARDA link in the left menu, then type in some dates in the Third Age. I did the period from 1850 to 1900 TA and got this: The Third Age...

Wow. I suddenly have an urge to get an Overstreet guide. None of my comics are in this league, of course, but it makes me wonder what, if anything, my '80s-vintage X-Men are worth. :)

Jarek bows low and says, "Yes, we came at Father Lorren's bidding, good sir. But 'hero' is too much to claim. I am Jarek, an Acolyte Champion of Pelor." He turns his attention to Collan, to see how he conducts himself before a high priest of Pelor.
