The Whispering Cairn (Team Diamond Lake) - IC

[renau1g]

Jules is always ready for trouble, expecting Kullen and company around every corner.

Ah...the good old King's Road. A staple of many of my adventures. It's actually from the Keep on the Shadowfell intro module for 4e. Terrible module as written (as almost all WotC ones are) but with some spit and polish not a bad one. Just need to cut out about 50% of the combat as the 5th time fighting the same kobolds in a row gets boring. That said, I prefer to take around the same effort and tweak a Paizo module to 4e with usually better results.

A step behind Jules, Vixtrin halts and cocks her head. Reaching for and quietly uncoiling her spiked chain, Vixtrin listens.

OOC: If Vixtrin hears anything untoward, she will approach the large cluster of rocks directly south of the cottage, spiked chain in hand. She wants to stand on the east side of the rocks, looking west.

Aria, startled when Eldariel pushed her out of the doorway, peeked cautiously back around its frame to see Galyn when he spoke. Her eyes ficked nervously to the bushes. What would have two strong men-at-arms so worried?

(*looks at rolls...gets all vindictive and suspicious* )

Everyone freezes as they watch the woods. Then suddenly three wolves burst from the trees and stand in middle of the road growling. Two looked half starved, but the third is large and well feed, a scar crossing it's face looking like an axe bit into the beast a long time ago.

ooc: should we wait for our turn to post, or can I post now what I want done and have it *happen* in the right order?

 

[HolyMan]

[sblock=OOC]Anyone can post in any order but remember that another players actions may "chump" your own (So you should post a little vaguely i.e. attack nearest enemy, or if A happens I do B). I usually give two days for everyone to post before posting a 24 hour warning that I will advance the combat. By then the character will eithe rnot go or if you have given me what they are up to doing I will follow that. [/sblock]

OOC: HM: What's the grid size on the map?

 

[CanadienneBacon]

"What the devil?!" Vixtrin double moves toward the wolves to the southern portion of the road, spiked chain drawn and ready.

OOC: Double move this round, attack if within range (spiked chain has 10' reach). If not within range this round, stop just east of that clump of boulders on the southern side of the road opposite the cabin.

[sblock]SW 8 squares in a straight diagonal.[/sblock]

 

[HolyMan]

[sblock=OOC] grid is 5' per square and CB you just need to give directional. So you are saying she travels SW, x8? [/sblock]

Galyne almost lets loose at the obvious leader but then decides that it would be better tactics to try to kill one of the weaker ones first. So he looses an arrow at one of the staving wolves. His arrow flies true, hitting his target in the eye and felling it instantly

Galyne considers taking refuge is the cottage but thinks that its protection is dubious at best. Instead he backs up until his back is against the wall, drops his bow and draws his axe.
