The Dragon's Hoard Arcane Game: Ruins 2007

[Mista Collins]

Taking the rope Dotson offers, Julian looks over the other way to see if there is anything she might be able to lasso it onto.

 

[megamania]

Yes, there are several old trees, a post used for hanging signs and another post exposed from a broken off board. Won't be easy to lasso.

 

[Mista Collins]

Tying the proper knot into the rope, Julian turns to the others. "I do be gonna try to lasso this around somethin' on that end, unless one of you can magically move it over there instead. Anyone be having more rope?"

 

[Raylis]

"Unfortunatley I only have my wits and my head." Ksathra says looking disdainfully at the water.

OOC: what's the current like?

 

[Ivellious]

Thamior shakes his head and says, "No, I haven't anything to get it over there. The only thing I can do is make your aim true. Other than that, I'm useless in this regard."

Jillian Attempts to make a good lasso but fails the tieing. Thamoir (Use Rope 11+1) creats a working lasso. Thanking him, the rogue throws across and misses. It hits the fast moving water that seems very deep. She pulls it in and tries again. This time she gets the post and pulls on it to secure it.

Who first?

 

[Ivellious]

[sblock=occ] I tied the knot? Wow, hadn't meant that. Meant to cast a spell to get it over, but hey, saved a spell, and tied a knot with no ranks, todays seems good[/sblock]

Thamior looks to the rest of the party and says, "I'll go first, unless anyone has any objections." He then prepares to cross the river, but waits to see if anyone objects

"Go for it, pointy ears" Ksathra says as his red and orange blade springs from his hand, [color] "I'll cover you. [/color]

Note: Mindblade is charged with psionic strike

DRAGON'S HOARD: THE RUINS
020

Thamior begins to work his way across the bridge while holding onto the rope. Dotson holds out his Heavy Crossbow just in case. Goram readies his blast for just in case anything decides to attack you now. Julian holds the rope.

The glowing orb records all.

Thamior nearly falls in. He does take 2 points non-lethal damage as he falls through a rotted board but between the rope and striking his foot on a brace stays on the bridge. (Balance 2+7=9).

Readying his action, Dotson is next to cross. (15-5= 10) The boards creak painfully complete with a snap or two but he crosses. Goram steps up next (Bal 4+4=8) Halfway through he slips on a board and nearly falls in. He is hanging by the rope only kicking his feet over the rushing water.

....and at this point Dotson yells out that something is coming! (List 18). Thamior (0+4=4) is too preoccupied with the plight of Goram to notice the sounds of running feet coming through the grass just out of sight of bridge.

Actions?



OOC Believe it or not, of the folks that took rope use you were the highest with most including Julian rolling a natural 2. Just the way it worked out this time.

 

[Raylis]

The xeph's mindblade curves a bit more, making it look more like a cresent and he holds his arm out to the side ready to throw the weapon at the first sign of trouble.

OOC: ready an action to attack at whatever is comming at us
