    Tarkus strides across the room toward the newcomer. "I am Tarkus, called the Crusader," he booms. "I have dealt harshly with many savages! I'd be glad to pursue these thieves for your lord. Although," his enthusiasm wilts a little. "Juna has forbidden me from violence. Perhaps I'm not the best...

    I just ran an adventure and played in another one where one level 1 character tagged along with some level 2's and 3's. Worked out fine. I have a Level 3 Leader here (Tarkus the Crusader, Pacifist Cleric) but he's my 2nd char, so others have priority.

    Sorry, no. You could use Rhymes of Lore to get an automatic ordinary success on your own Lore roll, if you haven't rolled already, but there's no way to remove his failure once he's rolled it.

    Do we need to roll init and start acting in turns, or can I just post, "I run over there too?"

    Ok, so far we have: Guide: Kurin Scout: nobody Hunter: Authiel Lookout: Borin, Hobnob With Riggins, Orin and Vardolas not saying anything yet. I went through and found everybody's skills. The starred ones are favoured, and the numbers after the plus are what you get to add if you spend a...

    So is the idea that we stay back while he works on the lock, until he's spotted, then charge in to rescue him if necessary? Also, Son of Meepo, since you're not planning on attacking anyway, you could get 4 more squares of move by double running. You'd grant combat advantage, but you're...

    Tarkus, overhearing the contents of the "pious whiskey", looks shocked at the blasphemy, but decides not to say anything. Juna wishes him to be more tolerant.

    Borin is aware that Orcs tend to be found to the west, northwest and north, and favour mountainous and hilly terrain. Whatever dangers lurk in the swamp, it's unlikely to be orcs. So, no help on the Lore roll, but that information might be helpful separately... You'll only really need a hunter...

    Glóin stands, looking pleased. "Now that that's settled, dinner! And then I'm sure you'll be glad of a warm bed. Tomorrow you'll be bedding down in swamp!" He chuckles. But after a hearty meal of wild boar, fresh lake fish, and honey cakes "made from a Beorning recipe", washed down with black...

    Seeing the severed head's attention wander, 7 Rabbit quickly ducks over to Haruka. "Did I hear you say you were from the Valley of Bone? So am I!" he says quickly. Rapidfire, he continues, "It's been a long time since I've talked to anybody from home, want to catch up? Come join us away from...

    There are four roles, which are "rules important", yes. But I just realized "Party Leader" as such isn't one of them! I was thinking of the Guide. The four roles are: Guide: Must be exactly one. In charge of planning the journey: keeping the party on course, deciding when to stop for a...

    Yes and yes. Make sure the brooch actually does say this, and it's not just that the player forgot to put the bonus type when copying it to their sheet.

    Ironheart looks reluctantly back towards the water and his large frame shudders. "We could cross the beach at the bottom of the cliff, and come to the tower from behind. That would involve climbing the cliff and circling around it beneath all those arrow slits, though. Do the tower's defenders...

    "The first time was not as bad as I expected. I... don't remember much of it, honestly. The second, though..." Ironheart trails off and shudders, setting his branches shaking. He doesn't stop shuddering for several minutes, after which he stands silent, knotted eyes shut. Even poking him...

    A final wave lifts the boat clear out of the wate. It crashes onto the rocks near the beach and bursts asunder, transforming almost instantly into a pile of driftwood. One of the larger pieces of wood moves. A branch-like limb reaches out and grabs the handle of a poleaxe. Dragging the axe...

    The envoy strokes his beard, looking smug. "Lord" Glóin! He glances from the hobbits, to the elves, and back to Kurin. "Yes, of course! All the company's members will play a part, of course, but it needs a strong hand for leadership. A strong Dwarvish hand - nobody is stronger!" He...

    Voda Vosa: You can make it if you roll a 12 (auto-success), or if you roll an 8 and then spend a point of Hope to add 6, or if you invoke a Trait for a success without rolling. Or you can just accept that Kurin is not very persuasive...

    Ovenight a strong wind has blown up, making the waves crash heavily on the beach. Suddenly a small boat heaves into sight. It's a ship's longboat, and it appears weathered and battered by storms. Nobody is visible in the boat, but it rides low in the water as if heavily weighted down. A...
