    [IC] Wandering Star : Heroes of the Middle Reaches (Part One)

    The wizard's conjured cloud of spectral bats swirls about Horto's drake, distracting the beast and sapping its will to fight with confusion. Charlotte patiently waits in the shadows for the supposed Elf to come around the corner of the building. He doesn't, near as she can tell. Your turn.

    [IC] Wandering Star : Heroes of the Middle Reaches (Part One)

    The paladin's blast of freezing cold catches the guard drake and one of the hafling thieves within its frigid clutches. Sadly, the drake is still able to wriggle out of the way of most of the frigid air and shards of frozen condensation, but the hafling is not so lucky. He takes the full force...

    [IC] Wandering Star : Heroes of the Middle Reaches (Part One)

    Having withstood the onslaught, both guard drakes now lunge out at their foes, snapping wildly. The beast menacing Zarathas snaps at air as the Paladin deftly sidesteps it. Horto is not so lucky. The creature grabs onto and savages his forearm, whipping his head back and forth several times...

    [IC] Wandering Star : Heroes of the Middle Reaches (Part One)

    As the Dragonborn passes through the drakes, he is forced to let his guard down for a moment. Both creatures snap and bite, but only one is able to gain purchase on the Paladin's flesh. Horto returns the favor, slicing off a chunk of the creature's hide with his blade. One guard drake misses...

    [IC] Wandering Star : Heroes of the Middle Reaches (Part One)

    The hafling's eyes widen in surprise as Varilar swiftly steps from the shadows and thrusts the point of his short sword between the little thief's ribs. He grunts in surprise and shock and looks down at his wound, already weeping a fair amount of blood. He turns towards Varilar and grimaces...

    [OOC] Heroes of the Middle Reaches : Wandering Star

    Yes. Don't worry though. They don't feel cheated. :devil: I updated my sig to contain all the links to the various bits of info I posted. I've noticed that the initiative board needs to be refreshed every time I update the initiative board image. I guess the old image gets cached and you have...

    [IC] Wandering Star : Heroes of the Middle Reaches (Part One)

    From her vantage point, Charlotte can see the haflings stand up as one and move towards the door. Surprise and shock are gone now, replaced by grim determination. They exchange a couple of meaningful glances at one another but remain otherwise silent. Together they move to the doorway and draw...

    No kidding. I think that's why I dig the pace of PbP. Hah hah. Yeah, I figured that was the case. My RL group is quite a bit more impulsive. It's like they're DARING me to TPK them . . .

    The face of Horto's drake drips blood. In the stark shadows cast by the oil lamp directly behind the creature, it's impossible to see the color of its blood. It prepares to lunge for the fighter's neck . . . My bad. I implied in an earlier post that I was expecting Ranver to go next. I think...

    [IC] Wandering Star : Heroes of the Middle Reaches (Part One)

    Varilar flattens himself against the wall so as to be as unobtrusive as possible. As pre-occupied as the Drakes are with the frontal assault, a sidelong glance here and there indicates they are aware of his presence. So much for sneaking up on them. But will the haflings see him when they charge...

    Sir Digger, I still need a mini for Varilar. Or did you send me one and I just didn't notice?

    [IC] Wandering Star : Heroes of the Middle Reaches (Part One)

    The calm after the storm is torn asunder as our heroes fall upon the porch like storm waves on a beach. Horto and Zarathas charge the Guard Drakes, leaping up the rickety steps and swinging mightily at the unprepared beasts. Horto's blows strike true, cutting several large gashes in the drakes...

    I've moved Horto into position on the grid. Go ahead and make your attack. The guard drake's AC defense is 15. Please describe. :)

    The steps leading up to the porch are rickety and steep. You will need to get a bit closer to charge, but not so much you reckon that the Guard Drakes will perceive you as a threat before hand. The gray squares are stairs and considered difficult terrain. It takes two squares of movement to...

    [OOC] Heroes of the Middle Reaches : Wandering Star

    I've placed the initiative counts for your opponents on the board. The party still has the element of surprise, so when you all decide to act you'll get a standard action and then the 1st round of the encounter will begin at the top of the count.

    The young candlekeep of Sailor's Hope steps out of the shadows where she's been hiding. "I can hide here while you smite the despoilers. They won't be able to find me."

    It is fairly time consuming, but I've never used cartography software so I can't say how they compare.

    Thanks. I aim to please. They're a combination of adobe illustrator and gimp 2.0. I love making maps for some reason.

    [IC] Wandering Star : Heroes of the Middle Reaches (Part One)

    Completely unaware of its impending doom, one of the Guard Drakes yawns, flops over and begins writhing in an attempt to get at an itch on its back. The rain has ceased and the air is still. Only the sound of water dripping from the eaves of nearby buildings competes with the clank of the chain...
