Iron in the Snow

Game Master waynemarkstubbs

The people of this icy world have not had iron since the time of the Worldbreaking. Now, the orcs of the north swarm forth armed with the grey metal. Will they stain the snow red with blood?

Oo, I'll take a Peryton Bracer, then!


M Human Oracle/2

Fantastic! I assumed it was really bone, and hoping for a chance to switch it to something without the penalty or fragile aspect. Thanks.


Male Human Ranger2

I thought of it more as an Ivory inlaid Wooden Club...

Also maybe Tupilek, Asheru, or Wheatbeard* should take the Longspear.

*My Vote: I say Wheatbeard just to give him a bit more of a boost.


AC 21, T 13, FF 17 / Fort +5, Ref +3, Will +1 (All +1 vs arcane) / Init +5 / Perception +1

Aye, Wheatbeard.


M Human Oracle/2

Wheatbeard would be a great choice. Asheru can't use it as he can only use simple weapons.


Male Human Ranger2

A Longspear is a Simple Weapon...


M Human Oracle/2

Oops, you're right. I still think wheatbeard can make better use of it.


M Dwarf Storm Druid / 2

A situation will arise where he could be convinced to use it/the amulet, but as of now, he sees them as things to be honored - put on a pedastel - not wielded/worn.

Necessity is a good impetus for change though.


How much of his recitation did Bonewright get done (not sure where he's up to when Tupilek charges).


Hi, sorry, was caught off guard by work issues at the end of the week. I'll do a full update, plus a map, over the weekend.


After Eurovision, of course.


M Human Oracle/2

Ha, no worries. Work stuff catches ya sometimes.


Huge apologies. Servers at work crashing like the 1929 stock market. Have blocked some time to update later.


Again, many apologies for the lack of updates on Monday. I was busy explaining to managers why "turning it off and on again" would not help with a corrupted database.


I can sympathise - oh how I can sympathise.

Damnit! A natural 1!


Male Human Ranger2

Try Southwest Missouri. We have had intermittent service since before the recent Storms came.


Crapstorm at work again. With you shortly, chaps.


Is okay - I like the game, but I understand.


M Human Oracle/2

No problem. Still here when things calm down.


Male Human Ranger2

A Wolf will wait ages for the signal to hunt.


Can Bonewright move to get flanking?


M Dwarf Storm Druid / 2

You assumed correctly.


Moklik still with us?


Yay!
Can we declare CDG?


Technically, no, as it is only disabled, rather than helpless. It is, however, prone, so you can take the opportunity to give it a good smack.


AC 21, T 13, FF 17 / Fort +5, Ref +3, Will +1 (All +1 vs arcane) / Init +5 / Perception +1

Once it goes to negatives we could CDG, but it'll still regenerate eventually. I think the orcs are using it as a hunting dog.


If only you had some flammable liquids with which to set it on fire.


AC 21, T 13, FF 17 / Fort +5, Ref +3, Will +1 (All +1 vs arcane) / Init +5 / Perception +1

If we don't have any oil, we can just keep it at negatives while we deal with the orcs and then cover it with a pile of stuff that's too heavy for it to move. Entomb it alive until someone digs it out.


Should we enumerate our options?


AC 21, T 13, FF 17 / Fort +5, Ref +3, Will +1 (All +1 vs arcane) / Init +5 / Perception +1

We find somewhere defensible, possibly the cliff? And kill them. They've got a hunting troll to sniff us out wherever we go. We need somewhere with a choke point where only one or two orcs can get at us at a time.


Ambush the orcs
bluff the orcs (has worked before, have to learn orcish)
try to sneak away (doesn't look that possible)
hope the orcs find the troll and leave (they may be chasing the troll, rather than using it to hunt)
someone leads the orcs away

Anything else?

Wheatbeard is hoping to go for option 3 (as the game thread implies), knowing option 4 might happen concurrantly. I was waiting for Caedmon to post as it's been a week.


M Human Oracle/2

I have a suspicion as well that the troll escaped, and they're looking for him. But that could easily not be the case. And even if it is, upon finding him, they will be aware of the struggle even if they can't readily see tracks leading to us and may decide to look into it.

None of the options look good, but sneak attacking that size of a group seems especially foolish without some sort of assistance or trick. A bottle neck might work, or a way to split them up, or even turning a troll upon them if such a thing is possible.


Male Human Ranger2

Sorry been having difficulties with Paizo on my phone. I will try to catch up ASAP.


Busy at work today. Will update later. Is it settled that you want to head back?


AC 21, T 13, FF 17 / Fort +5, Ref +3, Will +1 (All +1 vs arcane) / Init +5 / Perception +1

Seems so.


M Human Oracle/2

That does seem to be the consensus.


yep... feels wrong, somehow... but we are now too important to lose.

Yes.


Sorry, I've been very lax updating this week due to various issues. I will post this evening.


M Human Oracle/2

No worries. I'm heading to the coast this next week though. But I'll try as hard as I can to keep updated. So hopefully you won't notice any lag.


Hi, I can only apologize. I'm having a s$+@storm at work. I'm trying to get things under control. I will check in later.


Male Human Ranger2

S'all Good Captain. We will wait for you.


M Human Oracle/2

Aye, still around. It's a holiday week here in the states too, so no problems.


Indubitably!


Sorry guys I let you down last week. Let's get things moving again.


Just happy we're still going :)


M Human Oracle/2

Likewise. You'll have to do far, far worse to get rid of us I think.


Male Human Ranger2

Yeah good luck getting rid of my stubborn arse.
