Playtesting: IG's 'The Making of Heroes'

It may be a personal preferance, but i've always pictured Rangers as tree savers rather than tree killers. Especially Elves.

To an extent I agree, but I'd think that even an elven ranger would know when it's time to use the resources that nature gives him. At the very least, I can't see him chaining himself to it when the rest of the party decides to use it. Might be using an elf for a bridge then.

You would have to bring the lever upright and than let it "fall down" over the chasm.

that is how i pictured it hapening as well...as for the disturbing vision of elf pudding, I.G. , i was playing an elf in the sunless citidell module...oh boy...

i have taken amtrack from st. louis to new orleans back in '85, then again in '86...i know what you mean along the mississippi river on the mississippi state side, I. G. and i can't see any reason why the sceanario you have couldn't work. those being pole pines and reaching a total height of 50 feet in 50 years, in an untouche forest, theywould be even taller! and darn thick at the base.

I wasn't trying to suggest that you use a tree to get to the window. I was only attempting to give a description of the environment should you decide to go somewhere and think.

Hi, I want only to say, that I found another PbP game to play Tulbar. But I will continue to read your thread.

Happy gaming!

Great. I'll continue to look forward to your insight.

All I'm waiting on is for someone to tell me who's climbing the rope.

 

[industrygothica]

I want to make totally sure I'm understanding this correctly:

You've started a fire under the murder hole to smoke out anyone who might be above threatening to drop hot tar or whatever down on top of you. You've let the fir run its course, and have doused the embers with water (from your waterskins, I'm asssuming). Now that the fire's out, you're going to bash through the portcullis with a thick log you've found from the surrounding area.

Does that about sum it up?

 

[Arkhandus]

Yes. It's about all we can do. Not sure how else we're going to get past the portcullis. The grappling hook is stuck up on a ledge. Trying to climb up without it will be tough and potentially deadly for us 1st-level PCs, and with orcs potentially ready to drop stuff on us from the windows. And we're wearing boots, so I figure we shouldn't burn our feet by running over the cooling cinders and junk, since we're not going to be standing on them for long.

 

[Legildur]

Seems a solid plan to me!
