They look like the sort of ogres who are willing to help anyone climb through the mountain pass, right? They're your neighborly sort of ogre, never having hurt a fly.

Oh yeah. Clearly. Boy Scout scarves and everything.

... Wait, Boy Scout scarves? But I don't want them to be prepared.

Are you guys waiting for me? I'm waiting for you!
If nobody posts by this week-end I'll assume a frontal assault. Keep in mind that you'll have to cross about 100 feet of open terrain to get to the ogres. If anybody wants to either Charge or Run (rather than just advance) make sure to let me know.

I don't know about o/s but in Australia the cub anthem goes something like "Akala we'll do our best we'll dib dib dib, we'll dob, dob, dob" never been able to work out what it means , and it has been 25 years since I've been a cub....

I'm just waiting for someone else to move up with Ery, she ain't the front line type (yet)

I just wanted to mention that I'm going to be on-and-off for a little while... not sure how long. I was confused, though, because in post 38, Girble was looking for a place to tie the horses (didn't want them to bolt during combat), but maybe I wasn't explicit enough? Ery followed suit in post 40, so I figured we were all going by foot.

Anyway, is it safe to assume that since Lucas is trying to stop the fleeing ogre that Lucas could have spoken off of his turn to tell me this? If so, I'll sent my Flame Strike (or Wall of Stone, assuming I can adequately block the ogre's progress) to help him out. If not, I'll try to enter melee.

Ok, I'm sorry about the ridiing assumption, but if you guys had tried to close on foot you'd have taken three or four rounds to do it instead of two and Sirius and Girble (your big melee hitters) would have taken even longer. In fact the fleeing ogre probably would hav been out of Magic Missile range (though I'm sure Lucas could come up with something ).

I wanted to get us moving again so I didn't want to have a 3-day exchange about it. Sorry for seizing control like that.

To answer your other question: Yes we'll assume Lucas shouted his soliloquy between rounds so you can help out. Given the way you phrased your post I assume you prefer the Wall of Stone if it will work? Well it will. The trail is hemmed in on both sides by rock here (which is why they chose this spot in the first place).

D20Dazza: Since the ogres seem to be busy, you could Run to catch up. You'd be covering 120 ft. per round, which means you could be there at the end of this round (presumably stopping outside the ogres' reach until you get your dex bonus to AC back next round). If you go for the horse it will actually take longer.

 

[D20Dazza]

Yeah sorry, I didn't realise they were so far away - my bad.

She went for the horse in an effort to try and chase down the fleeing ogre while the other guys took care of the other two anyway so I'll stick with her current plan.

Cheers


Daz

All right, I understand that, Ilium. I also didn't realize running up there wasn't quite feasible. Wall of Stone it is.
