GM DSP's Reign of Winter (Inactive)

Game Master Darksmokepuncher

With dedication Ulfgard moves on!

After traveling for some time, you come upon a human-sized snowman stands in the middle of the trail before a frozen stream. A crude wooden sign leans against it and bears the words "Trespassers Turn Back"

sciath slips his spear from his back, moves forwards and pokes the snowman. "There's been enough trickery on this journey already" he mutters.

As Sciatch approaches, the snowman stirs, then shouts, "Can't you bloody read! The sign says no trespassing. Now bugger off!"

Raising an eyebrow "What exactly are we in danger of trespassing on?"

The snowman sits inert and silent.

"Well, we´ve been warned!" Walking past the snowman in hammers length he walks past it!

Salvia scowls at the snowman as she passes him. (She still has her short sword out.)

Quietly laughs with evil glee.

I'll post tonight or tomorrow morning. Don't have the book with me at work.

Wait! Grandma says

That ice may not be a strong as it looks!

She looks around for the smallest person of the group.
To who ever looks like the lightest person

"Tie a rope around your waist, then scoot across the ice on your stomach. That way your weight will not be all in one place. You will be less likely to fall though the ice that way. When you get to the other side tie the rope to a tree and everyone else can use the rope to help them get across. Um if you don't mind of course.

Ulfgard returns to ma and prepares to throw a rope to Salvia

Grandma Mable's warning if drowned out, for as Ulfgard and Salvia reach the snowman, a deafening burst of sound accosts your ears leaving the snowman quite exploded.

Fort saves for Ulfgard and Salvia.
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

In the wake of the cacophonous blast, Salvia and Ulfgard stand hunched, hands over ears, stunned. The others look on as crystaline shapes form from the swirling snow and ice atop the stream.

Suddenly, the creatures of ice are charging toward your stunned companions!

Salvia and Ulfgard are stunned for 1 round. You guys won initiative so those not stunned may act in the defense of your friends.

Map should be updated by the time you see this :)

Sciath rushes forwards, and hurls his spear towards one of the creatures.
Spear Throw!: 1d20 ⇒ 20 Dmg: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Critical Confirm?: 1d20 ⇒ 20 Dmg: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4) + 4 = 12
Wow, Dice wackiness so rarely plays in my favour!

"Oh dear that was reather rude!"
Grandma Mable raises her crossbow and fires at the creatures.
Crossbow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Sciath lands a stopping blow to one of the icy creatures, and Grandma Mable exploits the brief stop by planting a quarrel square in the creature's face: killing it.

Bump for Ryksa

Stunned, Salvia drops her weapon.

DMPC her for the moment?

I will. Sorry for the lack of responses. I am getting to my games as I can. Unfortunately, as this is prewritten, I have less time. I have been pulling 12+ hour days as I am in the middle of a project at work, and honestly, when I get hom, I'm too tired to crack the book. The project is nearly over and I have not forgotten you! Please hang in there with me.

No worries... we were just worried!!!!
