I need to know how long he is concentrating for. Or at least how long he holds the spell in place. I guess he could dispel it...
My guess is 13 rounds. Two rounds to determine nothing is coming through and then stop concentrating on it.
In this amount of time Roci returns and others might be greeting you...

Kevros Droverson |

The real Kevros and not that slacker NPC Kevros
Sorry for your loss Markus, condolences to you and your family.

Lord Commander, you need a scribe and no I am not volunteering ... :-)

Ulricha the Unkillable |

I'm so sorry to hear that. My condolences.

Kevros Droverson |

Good to hear from you Kev!
Ummm if you don't post an action I am just going to skip you.
Thank you! I sent you a couple of messages. One is old and then the follow up.
If the skipping is for me and not Markus because of his potential reduce posting, that's ok, I am catching up with the story and my character sheet.

Ulricha the Unkillable |

The problem is, if the enemy's turn comes before mine, posting an action that might have to change because of what happens before it doesn't make sense.
As it is now more than half the party's actions come after the enemy's turns. It doesn't make sense to post an action that is likely to be irrelevant by the time it comes around does it?

Ulricha the Unkillable |

Thanks. I've applied the damage from the 1st attack (minus DR)

GM Wolf |

Yeah sorry for the 'sorry' DM work. There is just so much to go through but I am fine with having to work through it. I asked for it!
Anyways thanks for hanging on tight and willing to work with me about how things work. It is strange how we can get stuck in a box so often and forget to look outside of the box or at least realize that you missed something.
Are you thinking of rolling out in the whole group or splitting up?

Kevros Droverson |

Almost ready
Kev probably should use one of Kat's Elk as a mount to increase her happiness. Have the stats?
Sounds like Kat and Kev stayed behind? While the group has been fighting, Kat, Stalker, and Kev are working on recruiting more reeves due to war status.
Is Kev going to catch up with the group during combat, after combat, or let me know when I can step in.

GM Wolf |

Well to tell you the truth this week has been one challenge after another. Lots of work which has taken a lot of my overall time. Then on Tuesday I came down with some kind of stomach bug. I was out sick Wednesday sleeping to recover. Then sleeping and catching back up to a healthy state. Sorry for my absence this week as you can tell it has been rough.

Zsófia Dobós |

Glad you're feeling better!

Jorrast Feorte |

Yep! Take care of yourself. Come back when you are ready.

Kevros Droverson |

Yes, get well Wolf! Health first!
Any thing to report scouting out the area which sounds like a good entrance?
Knocking on the front door where they are fighting or at the camp? If it is where they are fighting, he will come climbing through the window.

Alice Emmington |

It may be worth knowing, that teleportation hex can yoink an ally but once per day. It's a great way to save someone, or get them past an obstacle, so i'm reserving it for occassions, unless someone really wants to get it for tactical purposes.
:)

Ulricha the Unkillable |

That seems like reasonable resource management to me.

Markus "Hot Dog" Lyranus |

So, Markus knows how Succubi work.
He may think a) there is a variant profane gift that allows the mortals receiving the gift to teleport, but allows allows the Succubus to teleport a gifted mortal when and whereever she wants to.
b) Alice is totally not a Succubus, because heck, she may be a Lilitu
c) her gifts are very potentially dangerous
d) if Markus thinks she is a Lilitu, which is probably very funny rp-wise, he will be super polite to her.After all, he worked for Nocticula before.
e) when Markus at some points figures out Alice is not a demon, there will be an RP gold mine.

As you have scouted around the fort you know:
M1. Front Gate: The iron gate across the entrance to the keep is kept closed and locked at all times. In front of the gate you see two black obelisks which have searching fiery eyes on top of them.A dark miasma, like a fog, seeps from the watchtowers and ramparts of the fort. It crawls down the walls and makes a 10 foot wide bank. You think that stuff will not be good to breathe in or touch.
You haven't seen anything move.

Quince Medvyed |

Roci and Vandomir follow Jorne allowing the rest of the group to get into the five foot tall and wide tunnel. Jorne and Roci are squeezing through. Quince burns the swarm again dispersing it.
So green swarm is gone?

Quince Medvyed |

Orange and purple are still within range of the wall of fire if they are still there on the map.

Kevros Droverson |

Ok, lets get this Kev party started
Kev thinks, "Well, I am not a rogue type to pick the front door and probably not possible of opening and the fog doesn't look healthy. There has to be another way in? But what the hell, maybe the Wardens already unlocked the front gate?"
Kev tries the front doors anyway, slowly, cautiously, and quietly as possible, to see if they are open. But he keeps an eye out for anything strange or dangerous.
1d20 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24

Larina Loren |

The fire wall is opaque so you can't see through it.
You avoid the miasma and find an opening to push on the front gate. They don't budge then you have to quickly retreat.

Kevros Droverson |

Kev asked Saren and Eris to go with him. If Eris is not available, he will ask Stalker. He needs an infiltrator and someone who can stand toe to toe. I agree regarding Katrina
Kev smiles looks at his companion(s) and quietly speaks, "Well, it was worth a try. See any other way to get in?"
Kev keeps his head on a swivel as he waits for a response and contemplates his next move but knows they can't want long here at the gates. He looks at the timing of the miasma.
Perception: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24

GM Wolf |

Quince smirked at looked at Vandomir, "Well it was confusing I suppose this was more of a tactical ebb and flow."
"All hell will break loose and at allies if we let up now. Let's push on."
Quince are you retreating with the others or are you in the cellar with Jorrast?
I need, NEED, to know your actions, even if it is to stay still in your location.
The miasma is random and chaotic. There does not seem to be a pattern to it.
Saren offers, "We could try knocking or fly over. I could easily carry the two of you."

Xandarian Quartermain |

Xandarian continues to retreat with the others, feeling bad about himself.

Quince Medvyed |

Other than the worms being burned recently and people chit chatting I really have no clue. I know people are spread out on the map but I thought that once the fighting stopped we had grouped together.
Jorne asked what I wanted and then insisted on scouting after I said stick together (don't really care thought it was funny). He clearly wants to scout ahead.
I must have been near Jorrast cause we were talking about wands. But honestly I thought once the worms were burned people were regrouping.
So whatever makes sense.

GM Wolf |

Yes I know many movements let me put them in order:
Most of the group retreats into the tunnel.
Jorne uses flasks of acid and fire to kill the last swarm in the tunnel.
Jorne emerges from the tunnel then goes to scout.
Quince hands Jorrast a wand of fireball.
A few of the others return to the cellar.
The fire wall drops, revealing the last two swarms that survived.
What do you do?

Xandarian Quartermain |

Why are the unintelligent swarms so fixated on our party?

Ulricha the Unkillable |

Lol, is there actually a rogue in this group?

Kevros Droverson |

Ok Kev, let's get into a rhythm here? Promise to post/reply more often.
Kev nods to Saren seeing no other way in and knocking doesn't really sound healthy either. "Yeah Warden Saren, sounds better to fly over at this time than any other current method. Of course, that could change in a second" Kev smiles.

Saren Elken |

"Shall I fly through or what?"
