DaWay's Kingmaker pt 1 - Stolen Land (Inactive)

Game Master DaWay

one of the bandits pipes up, It's amazing you blokes did what you did, considerin'.

Grym looks at the bandit suspiciously "Considering what?"

Condsiderin how much talkin you do

Grym grins "Heh. Point."
then, chastised, he will go to sleep and take last watch.

"Maybe talking would of served your former leaders much better, then there simplistic threats. You see reasoning will always prevail over intimidation." He gives the bandit a wry smile.

"So.... what now?" The sorcerer asks

I am waiting for you guys to decide what you want to do. I have been trying to move you on for a while now. Let me know when you leave the campsite

I think the plan was to move to a spot between here and the fort and set up an ambush for whatever force they send out to investigate, but I'm not as clear on that as I'd like to be, so don't take my word as final. Also, Raven isn't the strategist, and tends to leave such things to the likes of Morgrym, whose bailiwick such as that is.

To Adular's question, Raven gives a little shrug. "I think we're setting up an ambush, but I'm not sure exactly where or how. That would be more Morgrym's and perhaps Xerell's area of expertise. I'm guessing somewhere between here and the fort, but where exactly is a good question."

Sorry DaWay, think we've been getting good roleplaying out of it, but yes, lets move on.
In the morning Morgrym starts tracing the surrounding terrain with a stick, calling over the new members of the starlight brigade to ask about features.
knowledge:nature: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
profession:soldier: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
ah Breadth of Expertise. Looking for a place to set up an ambush. Criteria: enough trees to hide us, bandits will pass through the area (a game trail?), more than an hour from the main fort.

Angeus lends her experience living off the land to the preparations.

Survival 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Adular follows the lead of the others

About the only place that you can find, is a wagon trail that seems fairly frequented. Not the ideal spot but it meets the majority of your conditions.

"The leader who trades opportunity for perfection trades victory for failure." quotes Morgrym.
"Let's use this."
missing criteria is trees to hide behind?

Less trees, about an hour, more of a main thoroughfare than a game trail.

"Alright. As per Torag's teaching we need a Hide. Who knows how to make a Hide?"

"Building a hide shouldn't be too difficult. Perhaps we should have more than one?"

She sets about constructing a hide (or two).

survival: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

You can make a crude but functional hide. Might take the better part of a day or two.

Nodding at Raven's workmanship, Angeus says "Excellent work, Raven! Now we have good hiding place....I would like to prepare the ambush site as well....perhaps a number of pits ...I'd like to rig a tree or two to fall on them when we spring the ambush as well."

"Maybe I can help with a distraction of some sort or something to lead them to where you want them to go?" He gestures, and there is a sound of footsteps in the distance that seem to get closer, then recede.

Ghost Sound

Staying quiet while he thinks about what to do, conning is more his game not straight up tactics. "Adular that is a great idea to separate them, from our last two experiences with the bandits all we need to do is take out the leader and take...I mean liberate their troops."
