Yeah, I meant only the Japanese combined horses with a composite longbow (the daikyu). Many of the steppe nomads (most notably the Mongols) mastered mounted archery. But none with the power of the longbow other than the Japanese (who never really bothered much with cavalry except for the nobility).


Male Human Cleric 1

Halloran, that was brilliant!


Male Human Wizard 2

We'll see.


A new game is being made here


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

No worries on the map delay, AZ. RL happens too.


Sorry guys, I caught a flu and won't be able to keep up for a while. Please bear with me for a few more days.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

Good luck with the flu.


Male Human Wizard 2

Hope you feel better soon, Rory.

Well jested, sir!


Male Human Wizard 2

Whew! Things were looking a little grim there, I thought we were looking at a TPK. But now the tables have turned!

Good thing to, this is the last of 3 PBP games I was part of on this site, the other two went off the boards when our DM's went AWOL. I'm sure they had their reasons, one even said he was undergoing surgery, but it's still a disappointment.

And for that matter if it wasn't for DM Azure Zero stepping in to pick up the slack when Solo disappeared, this game would have fizzled to.

So thanks again Azure Zero! and don't kill us too quick, this is the only game I've got left.


The fact that this encounter is close to a TPK makes it all the more memorable.


Male Human Cleric 1

Speaking of remembering, don't forget Eamon that using Lay on Hands on yourself is a swift action. I don't think it provokes attacks, either.


Male Human Wizard 2

And once again the tables turn! Oh Fate, how fickle thy Favor!


Male Human Paladin 1

Also speaking of remembering... paladins get lay on hands at 2nd level. :-)


Male Human Cleric 1

Oh, I didn't know. I thought I remembered you mentioning it in the thread at some point.


Rory sends yet another bullet at the bandit threatening Halloran and Eamon, before continuing to circle around the battlefield behind the logs.
Attack: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 6 - 4 = 22
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Crit confirm: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 6 - 4 = 16
Crit Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8
Move AA12->DD10


Male Human Cleric 1

I'm confused. Is Y9 a bandit or not?


Male Human Wizard 2

I think so, I'm not sure if he's been taken out or not.


Male Elf Ranger

My understanding is also that Y9 is a bandit and he's down. EE10 is a bandit who may be back in the fight. AZ hinted as much at the end of round 7 on April 16. I'm not sure which way he applied my conditional action for Silstaren.

The tree bandit is down. Maybe due solely to Rory, maybe Sil's hammer toss helped.

That leaves the hidden bandit and maybe EE10 as foes.

Disclaimer -- just my understanding of te situation.


Correct

Have we any idea where the hidden bandit is shooting from? (I presume it's an archer?) Even if it's just something like "west of the party on the line from FF7 to A21"? Did bandit at EE10 put himself back in the fight?

Silstaren steps back to get a better angle on the archer in the tree. Move to DD9

If EE10 is back in the fight, then Silstaren will spin to cut him down again. Curve blade v. bandit in EE108 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4... damage 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Or If EE10 stays down, Silstaren pulls a hammer from his belt and throws at the bandit in the tree. Hammer 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 3 - 2 = 18... damage 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Just realized that in Saturday's post I accidentally kept the +2 on my attack for charging when I shouldn't have. (only a 5' move)

DM Azure_Zero wrote:

was that a non-lethal attack, or a lethal one?

and attacking him is meta-gaming,
unless you have in-game reason to smack him.

I don't know if I have in game reason or not. I've got a public proclamation from the DM that EE10 may (50/50) be on his feet and fighting. I posted conditionally based on whether or not EE10 was back in the fight. (Or whether Silstaren perceived him being back in the fight.) If you had indicated which attack Silstaren had actually made I would have some clue.


that 50/50 was out of character

he stayed down, but was he out?


Male Elf Ranger

OK. So Sil used the hammer against the guy in the tree. And we'll ignore the last post about whacking EE10. To all appearances he's down and out.

I'm happy so long as we're getting feedback, so long as you tell us what we see.


Male Human Wizard 2

Could I formally request an inventory of everything I found on the bandits? as well as everything I find in the cart?


Cart: Furs, pelts and a few bags(contain jewelery, and coins)

Bandits:
2 leather armour,
2 studded leather armour
4 longbows, 80 arrows
3 short swords
2 hand axes


Male Human Wizard 2

Thank you, after examining the cart can I determine if it's capable of carrying all 3 of the wounded bandits back as well as the loot?

Also did we find another silver stag head necklace on any of the bandits?
Like we did on that one back at the fort?


the cart can carry it all.


Male Elf Ranger

Negotiations complete, Halloran? I have scrupulously avoided AZ's spoilers. No big deal either way. Just curious.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

I'll be taking a short vacation Thursday-Monday. Please DMPC Silstaren as needed.

Also, a big thank you to Azure Zero for running the game.


Royston, if you want to find a teacher for languages,
There are a few,
Alkaid knows Abyssal and Sylvan.
Kobold mentioned someone to Halloran, who knows a 2 rare languages.


Male Human Cleric 1

That sounds good to me. I'll try to learn any languages I can while still keeping the diplomacy skill strong.


Cookie Jar Pilferer 9 ; Dimensional Explorer 4

Desriden, Silstaren knows Common, Elven, Sylvan, Goblin . If you wanted to RP learning of of those from him it would be cool.


"Then question then is will he learn it from me or you?"


Male Elf Ranger

Depends what he wants to learn. As an elf I'm sure my accent is better than yours.


"Sylvan is the language of the fey, not the elves.
So an elven accent does not matter."


Male Human Wizard 2

So in review there were, 2 suits of leather armor, 2 suits of studded leather armor, 4 longbows, 3 shortswords and 2 hand axes. If no one puts a claim on those we'll sell them to Oleg.

There were also 15 hides and 80 arrows which we probably will keep and 2 bags of coins and jewels which we haven't taken inventory of yet.

Azure what was in the bags?

With Svetlana's payment we have 250 gold, I recommend each of us take 40 gold (=200) and the remaining 50 go in the party fund.

Which would give us a party fund of 55 gold. Any objections?

Group vote: Cart, sell? or Keep?


Assuming you also searched the camp

321 sp, 90gp,
a pair of silver earrings,
a wooden music box,
three crates of furs and hides,
a polished wooden case of potent greenish herbal liquor.
and another crate filled with various liquors.
There are still eight bottles with liquor left in them.


Male Human Cleric 1

*blinks* That's a lot of liquor for a place that doesn't have regular trade. The rest of it could be taken from a random traveler or a woodsman. Was that all taken from the trading post?


Male Human Cleric 1

As for the cart ... it could be useful at some future point, but it will probably slow us down during exploration. I'm wondering if we should leave it here, go out and explore for days at a time, then swing back by to pick it up and make a circuit to places that we need it.

Of course, that means it will sit around unused most of the time. We could sell it and then rent it back on occasion or work out some deal with the trading post.


Male Human Wizard 2

Does anyone have the appraise ability?


Redeeming is a diplomacy check verses a will save, and it requires 7 failed saves in a row just to shift the alignment 1 step.
and you can only do 1 check per day per person.

there are a few conditional bonuses and penalties.

Not in the rules but I sped it up because Alkaid rolled really high (including one nat 20) and they rolled average really low (a few nat 1's) to average.


Male Human Paladin 1

I agree with Halloran's proposed distribution of loot. Sadly, my paladin does not have the Appraise skill. :-)

As for the cart, I think we would do better with a simple mule for now. If we hit the big time with a really big haul, one of us can come back and rent a cart. Perhaps we should sell it.

Could we ask Oleg or Svetlana to appraise the loot?


Halloran is on his way to becoming the kingdom treasurer :) Rory also doesn't have Appraise.


Male Elf Ranger

No appraise for Silstaren either, but if we all roll with aid another ....

Oleg or Svetlana are good ideas. Although Oleg has a conflict of interest if he's also our buyer. Perhaps Alkaid can appraise it?

Halloran's suggestions for disposition of the goods are fine.

Silstaren would rather sell the cart, because then he can't be drafted as driver again.

As for the arrows -- 80 is too many to carry with us. Silstaren will take 10 to replace the ones used on this last trip. That will give him 40. Storing the arrows with Oleg is most efficient cost-wise, but if you want to sell them, that's fine too.


Male Human Wizard 2

So that's 2 votes to sell the cart and not a lot of interest in keeping it, how about we sell it to Oleg and if we need it we can rent or borrow it from him?

If no one has an objection I'll keep the hides and furs for trading with the kobolds, we won't get much for the arrows, so if Oleg is agreeable I think we should go with Silstaren's suggestion of storing excess arrows here.

Does Oleg have a mule for sale? As far as I know the only animals here are the horses we took off the bandits, or the guards horses.

321 sps, 90 gps, a pair of silver earrings and a wooden music box, I propose that everyone gets 60 sps, 15 gps and everything else gets put in the party fund, including the earrings and music box once they've been appraised.

That would give us a party fund of 70 gps, 21 sps, a pair of silver earrings and a wooden music box.


Male Human Wizard 2

Update: After selling the bandit's gear and the cart, we gained an additional 220 gps. If everybody takes 40 gps, that should leave 20 for the party fund.

So after everything is totaled up everyone should have 95 gps and 60 sps, except for Silstaren who turned down the 40 I offered him for selling the radishes to Svetlana, he'll have 55 gps and 60 sps.

And the party fund should have 90 gps, 21 sps, a pair of silver earrings and a wooden music box. Halloran will probably get with Oleg at a later date to ask him to store it for us.

Svetlana has agreed to store the 3 crates of furs, the 2 crates of booze and the 70 arrows we brought back from the bandit camp, if either Eamon or Silstaren need to replenish their store of arrows, check with her.

I believe that covers everything, any questions?


Just a heads up - Rory will give Halloran his formula book, but it's going to be useless - the rules say the formulas can't be copied out of it.


Male Human Paladin 1

AZ, Can you post a map of what we've explored?
