Grim Hyborian Tales: Children of Ctaroc

[Old One]

Arturio

Arturio struggles through the frozen waste in a panic for a dozen heartbeats before he even glances around...

Spot Check = 12

On painfully frozen feet, Ongwi makes his way up the slope, looking for any help. Scanning the ground, he sees that horses went into the Vale, and came back out along the same path. The trails out plainly show the panic of the horse, if not the rider.

Ahead of him, Arturio catches sight of shambling humanoid forms in the swirling icy dust storm approaching from the west.

OOC: We've flashed forward to the last round of Arturio's frightened condition -- unless Ongwi wants to do anything different. Mananga is 160 yards from the original starting point, Arturio is about 130 yards out. With double moves every round, Ongwi puts 20 feet separation between himself and the bad guys every round, and ends up 100 yards back from the starting position (basically at the head of the vale) with 100 feet between him and the bad guys...give or take.

I'm confused. What's the starting point? Mananga is running for one round less than Arturio, and he's on horseback.

Spot check. (1d20+5=15)

Mananga sees the same thing about the same time...

Arturio's not on horseback. Mananga runs for 1 round less, but he's 120' per round at a run to Arturio's 60 feet a round [20' move, can only run triple due to armor] -- sorry, he's 100 yards out, so he and Ongwi are actually next to each other at the end of the retreat. The starting point is from the map above. Just trying to place you guys in relation to each other, more than anything.

[OOC: Nope. My pony got crapped to death ...plus I am in heavier armor (Move 20').

EDIT: Dang-it, RB beat me to it...]

Arturio

Reason starts to return to Arturio's brain as his breath comes in great, ragged blasts.

Gods! What will Ongwi think of me?

The knight starts to slow and take stock of his surroundings. Noting the approaching figures, he slows and brings his weapon up...

[OOC: Essentially, as soon as he is able, Arturio will stop, try to figure out where the others are and begin a tactical withdrawal to link up with them. He will also try to identify whether or not the critters coming from the west are friend or foe.]

[Fenris]

As Ongwi leaves the vale of the Blood Ravens he sees Mananga and Arturio well ahead of him onto the glacier. Ongwi shrugs and makes a sharp turn to head along the rim of rift. Moving swiftly he stops along the side of the rift and begins hacking at the ice with his axe as the seal eaters had shown him, hoping to dislodge a large enough piece to hurl onto the abominations following him.

Hey guys: I had a bit of emergency this weekend, that ended up being a 4-day emergency. I apologize for leaving you guys hanging. I'll get caught up tonight.

Probably a good time to ask if everyone's going to be around on the holidays. I'm out of town and away from a computer from the 22nd to the 26th, but I'll be around after that.

 

[Old One]

OOC: RB, hope it wasn't anything too serious. I will be around all through the holidays (for once).

Two of my kids were involved in a pretty serious accident. They weren't hurt at all, like the whole "Unbreakable" not a scratch kinda scenario. But, we got a nightmare call on Thursday night that our kids were in the hospital 250 miles away. Wasn't fun. All is good now, though, and we can make jokes about the "Wonder Twins" and fighting crime and stuff.
