[PbP] Treasure Hunt - Emerald DMing

[Poto Knezer]

Reinert

"Great. I'm with you Cattivo. That's exactly what I meant. Now, I can take an orc, maybe two if I can surprise them. I'm sure Jarred can hold his own. But what about you & Cid? Can you guys fight? cast spells? What can we count on you for other than a dye-job & moral lectures?"

 

[Capellan]

"A rousing speech."

(OOC: quite literally. When we are ready to attack, I will Inspire Courage)

"I'm also a fair shot with the crossbow. I'll try to target anyone you're not standing next to."

 

[Poto Knezer]

Reinert

"OK. We may also want you to create a diversion so that Jarred & I can try to surprise them. How about you, Cid?"

While conversing, I frequently peer cautiously over the ridge to keep an eye on the battle below. When one side seems on the verge of losing or retreating, we'll probably act. If I were to sneak down the hill toward the combatants, is there a good place I could hide? About how far away are they?

 

[Krug]

"Yes, we should defeat the winners of the combat, but not immediately. We must sneak up on them," says Jarrad.

 

[Creamsteak]

"I'm no good, I've nothing to offer up. Freedom has not yet emancipated me any priviliges of my belief that I have enjoyed prior to the current time that we are occupying, or have occupied, depending on how you look at it."

 

[Capellan]

"Nice to know we can rely on you. Still, you're the only food I've seen on this island so far, so we'll keep you for now."

 

[Emerald]

There are bolders littering the hillside that you can try to hide behind.

When Reinert peeks over the edge of the hill (at the conclusion of the above statements) you see that there are 2 Orcs remaining (4 are dead - including the one that appeared to be the commander) and 6 goblins (5 are dead).

 

[Capellan]

"I say we wait until one side is wiped out or runs, then ambush the other side when they are busy searching the bodies."

 

[Krug]

"Bets on the Orcs," says Jarrad, growing impatient. The sounds of battle always attracted him. He looked at the longsword, swinging it lightly.

 

[Poto Knezer]

Reinert

Reinert laughs & slaps Cattivo on his back. "A rousing speech."

"I'll go ahead & start to sneak down. I'll go from rock to rock. You can attack any time, as long as I'm concealed. If they rush you, I'll ambush them. If they retreat, I'll be closer to pursue, which is nice, since we dwarfs are born sprinters."
