Reign of Winter (Inactive)

Game Master Whack-a-Rogue

Percy dashes across the battle area and plops down by her sister. I told you to wear armor. She says with a giggle of relief. If not for yourself, then for my nerves!

She looks up at Percy and smiles weakly. "It hurts, but not as bad as before..." She looks at percy and smiles gently, as if saying it isnt her fault. "Plus you know what happens when I wear armor! I cause a lot of damage!" She giggles. "So, what happened? Why am I injured on the ground and why are all the nice sentinels... Oh woah." She tries to get up again, but falls back on her tushy.

Sigrun goes over to the fallen sentinel, retrieving her axe with a swift yank. As she cleans it she gives Vashti a sidelong questioning glance.

We sprung a trap on these guys. Well, you did. Fire, steel, death. The usual Billy Hardspeckle situation. One got to you before I could fry him, though I did do something to that one over there. [/b]
She gestures to the dead "sentinel" with rainbow eyes.

Vashti will stand over the sisters, tapping her foot and glaring. She will let the ouch soak for a little while before healing Allie.

Allie appears to have no memory of what happened. She must have hit her head pretty hard when she fell.

Feeling that bright spot had suffered enough, Vashti holds her holy symbol and asks her goddess for blessings. Guidance.

Then glares wrathfully at the dice roller.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8

Yup.

Just not scary, I guess.

Offers dice roller a cookie instead.

Casts Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

better

Percy smiles at Vashti. Thanks for that.

Allie also smiles at Vashti. She finally gets up and looks at everyone. "Now what? Should we search em? See what they had on them?" Unless someone stops her, she will start searching the bodies. Taking 20's if possible.

"Well, I'm sure the dead have no use for their...things, so I believe a search is a good bet. How about another bit of fire while we rest and warm our bones?" Ered is trying his best to make conversation while he keeps an eye out over the frozen land to make sure they're not being watched or followed.

"Not that I mind, but why did you roast these men anyhow?"

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

"Does no one else remember that that one was running to warn others?" Sigrun says incredulously.

She stares blankly at Eredhaias. "I don't remember doing that. One minute, we were talking to them and I was chomping on a cookie, and the next I was bleeding in the snow." She scratches her head as she searches. "I'm actually kind of spooked about it."

Allie's Findings
Padded Armor x3
Buckler x3
Short Sword x3
Shortbow x3
Arrow x60
Tiny Brass Key
25gp, 5sp

Allie looks at the key with interest. "Can I have this? I'll look around to see if it fits anything everywhere! I promise!" She looks up, her eyes pleadng. "Its the only thing I want! I love a good mystery!" She holds the tiny key in her tiny hands.

Percy shrugs. Alright with me, sis. But on the condition that you stay within reach of me for a few days. I don't want any more surprise blackouts, ok?

Watches the play between the two sisters with interest.

I will need to keep an eye on those two. That was a little scary to watch bright spot light up those men so suddenly.

Allie giggles and places the small key into her pocket. She then gets very close to Percy' "This good?"

Percy grins and nods.

So! She speaks to the group, Everyone ready to see what's up with all this cold?

You continue along for another half hour or so, and you can tell you're getting close to the Sentinel Lodge due to the sight of chimney smoke just over the ridgeline.

Fortitude Save DC 15 for everyone who isn't immune to cold weather. :-) As usual, failure means you take 1d6 nonlethal cold damage and are fatigued, but you can use Survival to give a bonus to the saving throw.

Survival: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Fort: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 = 13
Possible damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3
I feel like that survival bonus was higher before. Maybe I'm missing something, but its late and I can't think. :P

As the group trudges through Sigrun applies her experience with the brutal cold helping the others survive the weather with adjustments and advice.

Survival1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Grant's a +2 bonus to Fort saves for up to 10 people so Percy makes it.

Save: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 2 = 11
Save for gruff: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 2 = 25

Pain!: 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0

Survival: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 1 = 14 +1 for guidance

nope

Fortitude: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Hooray!!!!New threads are stylish and warm!!!

Vashti trudges on, her new Cold Weather Outfit keeping her toasty warm with its + 5 BONUS ON COLD WEATHER FORTITUDE SAVES!!!

We did all get this stuff, right?

I thought cold weather gear was +2. But yes, we all have it now.

Nope. Just checked and its a +5, so yay!

Ered rubs his arms and trudges along the determined route, his shivering not quite as bad as previously expected. The combination of natural know-how from his northern traveling companion and the warmer clothes helping greatly.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 2 + 5 = 28

"I'm just hoping for answers after all this weirdness. Seems all we are getting is more questions."

Apologies if my last comment came off as mean, rude or nasty. It was not meant to be as such.

didnt to me Vashti :3

As you cross the ridge, the snowy trail finally levels off. In a clearing among the trees, a large wooden lodge overlooks a ravine spanned by a long rope bridge. Smoke rises from the Lodge's two snow-covered chimneys, and a large woodpile is stacked against the outer wall. A small outbuilding stand east of the Lodge, and a stone well nearly blanketed by snow is barely recognizable to the north. Several tracks lead southwest toward a detached stable.

Map is up. Place yourselves as you wish. :-)

Moved up a bit for a good view, still have shield equipped.

Well, now what? Looks to her party mates.

Percy grins from ear to ear. Explore! She darts off to the small out building (H2) just bubbling with the excitement of exploration.

Vashti sighs deeply, reaches down and grabs a handful of snow and places it on her now throbbing forehead.

!#$^((*^%$#@!@#$%^&*()()(**&^%$, well at least the other little pyro stayed put!

Lol. We're going to give Vashti an aneurysm. :P

Moved Percy on the map

Maybe when this is all over I'll go back home and marry that woodsman, have a couple of children. That way if they misbehave, I can BEAT THEM WITH A STICK! I wonder if that would work on these two.

Eyes the trees for an appropriate stick.

Percy comes back from the small out building holding her nose. Sometimes exploration reeks. Blech... She seems to be cometely unaware of Vashti's rising frustration.

Part of the fun of playing the character.:-)

Allie giggles at her sister. "nice going. Found some s%!#?" She laughs a bit harder at her joke.

Pretty sure it found me!Percy giggles. So, who wants to go knock?

I'll go knock if you two promise not to set fire to the people I'm trying to talk to. Again...

Percy holds up her hands innocently. Ok. Ok. No fire. Cross my heart!
She elbows Allie.

"She means it." she smiles at Vashti, trying to relieve some of her stress.

Sigrun sighs as she hangs back to allow Vashti to approach.

Ered hangs back as well, his hand on the hilt of his weapon as he waits. "Last thing we need is more fire..."

Waiting for Vashti to post an action and for everyone to move themselves on the map. Unless you want to be 35-40ft away when she knocks on the door. :-)

You two are so screwed if I ever take ranks in sense motive, you know that, right?

Vashti grabs a cookie, no make that an extra large muffin, and heads tp the door. After making sure her party is in place, she knocks loudly.

Also, casting guidance on the way up!

Percy, with Allie in tow, shadows Vashti up to the porch and hides on the far side of the wood pile.

stealth: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16+ any bonus from whatever kind of cover you deem that to be

Allie ducks behind the same woodpile. 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Sigrun's fine where she is, she's that fast.

Ered moves to where the little ones are hiding, attempting to hide as well.

Stealth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Yeah...Not hiding successfully.
