A little slower than I wanted, but I calculated it. My total XP is now 1795. Almost level 2!!

I'll fly home tomorrow evening. I'll do a sweep on my xp from my PC and calculate it then :) Yay! All the base are belong to us now!
"I'm sorry for the stinking. Clarity, could you perhaps help with your wings? If not, it might take days for this stinking to clear" Alyna's common is still heavily accented, but is slowly becoming faultless.
Init 5 with longsword
Fighting offensively = +1 AC, -1 Thac0
"No, you fit to it"
dwarvish: "That hammer seems to like you, Beau"
You're welcome ;) (also, no sweat)
Alyna stays on the side of the hole, readying an attack for the moment a bug head comes out.
Continuing her dance more confidently, Alyna starts to experience this combat more as a way to compete with Sid, than as mortal danger. She attempts to kill some more bugs.
elvish:
"Careful! Behind you! Fire spitters!" Alyna blows her signal whistle and shouts "Alarm!“ She draws her sword and attacks, going fully on the offensive (so AC 1 with her new banded mail)
elvish: "Then destroy it? Or should I try?"
Alyna calmly waits in a squat, confident that Xune is the better scout where it doesn't concern forests. She remains silent, trying to listen for danger.
"That hatch is a direction like a hallway, with a door that's rusting open. Would you want to force to close a door if you encounter one? Why do we need to close the hatch? We go in or we move on, just like hallways."
dwarvish:
"Master Prettylooks, you lighting that pipe is like putting down a flag, stating we were here. We're in a cave, with hardly any wind. I would think you would know how to deal with such a dreary place" Alyna actually is interested in looking down the hatch at least once, and walks up to it to steal a glance, with every intention of following the rest of the party elsewhere if the hatch proves uninteresting.
Alyna lets Xune take the lead, expectantly looking at her, sword drawn.
Alyna mutters in elven: elvish:
"ah, that's why there are no bats and lots of sh it" "Let's put the string to the lever, camp outside, then tomorrow morning pull the string. Then go." She notoriously doesn't compliment the others on their perceptive finds
Alyna had stayed silent for a good long while, to which no-one seemed to object. She'd been in a reflective mood, and had only replied with the shortest replies, while going about her tasks. In the evenings, she had refurbished her new banded mail. She had carefully folded and put away her native armor. Now, faced with their 'new home', which had apparently been overrun by something foul, she makes an annoyed grunt and moved forward. "Let's get it, then" she says, drawing her longsword and stepping towards and past the rotting carcass of the bear. "We need to clear out before we can clean up"
"Well done, Beauregarde, I'll relieve that you made us to be not the killer of those unknowing owlbears" Alyna's common is less haltingly spoken, but she's clearly not reached humour, yet.
Lol! I was about to make apologies for my late posting when read that Beau saved us all :D I've been a bit busy, as well...
Owlbears!! Classic! :) I'll post tomorrow, from PC instead of phone. Also still need to add my xp from last combat.
Alyna lends her considerable strength in the unpacking. She has no current wish to oppose any of the party's ideas at the moment. If asked about her opinion in elvish, she replies: reply in elvish to those who would ask:
"I'm here to learn the outcome of decisions. It would be unwise for me to steer towards known strategies. My teachers have tought me how to make self sufficient camps that can strike out from forests, but those strategies rely on the skills of my people. In the new world, now that the gods have come and gone, we'll need to learn how to direct the efforts of smokey dwarves, smelly humans and, it seems, even fouler beasts (indicating the half-orc with her eyes). I'll just follow lead for awhile." After the packing, Alyna unceremoniously strips naked and starts bathing and washing her clothes in the river.
dwarvish, to Beauregarde: "So, you've acquired yourself a pet orc. You know how their kind are, right? Her behaviour is your responsibility, even on times when you haven't smoked enough of that stuff you're piping"
"So what did we get diversion from?"
elvish, muttering to the other elves and the dragon:
"What, are we taking on greenskins, now? As if it isn't bad enough we're having to lug around humans! I'm going to hold that dwarf accountable for his new pet" Secretly, Alyna is happy with Beau's suggestion, as it is sound thinking to take on the half-orc. But she's also happy that such a dreadfully opportunistic suggestion didn't have to come from her.
Do I need to say anything? I agree. My character isn't that interested in gold, anyway...
Alyna, a little chagrined that she apparently isn't going to execute the half-orc, lets out a dissatisfied "hmpf", but accepts the other party members' decision to take the captive's offer of information. The thickly accented common, however, is hard for her to follow, so she just focuses on any wrong moves the half-orc might make. At the same time, though, she entertains the thought of recruiting the beast, because she is clearly a mercenary. elvish: "You're responsible for her, Sid"
Alyna runs up to the half-orc at speed and will attempt to break his weapon. She's going for offense. Her move is to make a knee-sliding to suddenly come up from under the half-orc, putting the strong of her weapon against the weak of her opponent's, then ending on his other side.
Critical weapon breakage! "You're done. Kneel, do your last prayer. I will behead you with dignity"
Alyna feels the urge to give chase, but her ally fell, and she can't well leave her to her fate. Alyna quickly makes sure that the boat is still secured to the shore with at least one good rope and checks if everyone who's running away keeps running away. Then she runs towards Xune to see how she is doing.
Hehehe, you'll be fine. You're a cleric. Clerics will be fine. If the time of troubles won't be adjusted severely by our DM, you'll be one eye on the land of the blind, praying to the only God who's still a God.
Alyna and Xube are suddenly confronted with someone cutting through their woods. That wasn't part of the plan, but no matter, they would fall regardless. Alyna will try to make quick work of the Zhenth in the woods. She has two attacks this round, though, and Xune has attacks too. So, if she still has attacks left when the Zhenth is dead, she'll run along the riverbank to strike at the next one. She means to go aggressively, so the +1 goes to the attack roll, not AC
Edit: that second one was a crit! :) double damage or table?
Yeah, my mace is slow as hell with a +7. I can cast spells faster than that. And Sid can cast spells faster than you, because his wizard spells are faster than your priest spells ;)
Initiative used to start counting from one up, each round, with people raising hands as soon as it was their turn to do something. Actually a lot simpler than all rolling beforehand and counting down, like we do now.
But! The loot!!! Save the loot!!! :D
Seems obvious that your target is going to be the boat, Xenotime ;) I won't really have time to check a map, think on a turn and post one, today, wo into the weekend we go! Either sat eve or sunday for me.
I don't have any crit-ique on this
Alright, I'll roll for when the opportune moment comes. My priority for targets is as follows; 1 any spellcaster
I opt for increased AC this round, so AC is 1. but that one is delayed anyway...
Round 1:
Yeah, let's do that. Inch closer, while remaining in hiding
Surprise round: Alyna stays in the cover of the bush.
Alyna moves a little back (so south side of black square), and then straight to the river. Then she moves along the bank, out of sight, to the thicket next to where the loading is happening. She moves together with Xune.
Elves move through forests and other natural terrain silently and almost invisibly. As long as elves are not attacking, they can only be spotted by someone who can spy invisible objects. When elves move through the woods, if they are careful, they will appear only as shadows of the leaves of trees, dancing in the undergrowth. This is of immense value to elves, who can thus gather information about their enemies-enemies who often do not even suspect an elven presence.
"If them see us in front of your attack, then they form on us, and you attack rear. But then we need help quick, Clearness. We will go now?" Alyna starts moving swiftly towards the southern end of the small patch of woods, and waits there for Xune, before moving on.
"yes, act fast" In her excitement, Alyna switches to elven. elvish: "Ok, I propose that Xune and me go through those woods alongside the bank. We probably need about two minutes to get within charging distance. After that time, Sid will lead Davin and Beau to an assault on the rear, while Clarity takes off flying upwards, reasonably out of sight. As soon as they respond to the attack on their rear they'll form up, and Xune and me will hit them in the flank. Clarity will observe from on high and dive down to aid in the place where we seem to have a hard time. I believe that in this way, it won't be long until they'll have us on both sides of them, which will deny them use of archery. Agreed?"
Exasperated, Alyna switches to her accented, but fluent, dwarvish. about 30 seconds of dwarvish: "You might have been too far into slamming your drinks, Beauregarde, to notice that at some point in the evening, I left to take a bath and then retreat for the night. I assumed that we would plan our actions in the morning, all refreshed and clear thinking and with everyone present. (she indicates Xenotime while saying 'everyone') However, this morning, you four catch up with me and Clarity, saying nothing more than "let's go, we're on our way". Apparently, you have come up with a plan in that smelly hole of a place, while you were all still reeking of travel and blood. Fair enough, next time I'll sit through more of that torment so as not to miss anything, but yesterday, I still assumed some sophistication.
Now, I've been waiting for someone to explain to us what the plan is, but all of you seem to forget that part, hence the reason I'm asking. So we're going to kill some humans. I assume Zhenths? Great! But what part of their operations are we hitting? And why do we start there?"
"No, I mean. What we go do? You decided what we go do over evening drink. Clarity and me don't know." You can tell that Alyna is makingan effort to speak common. Probably to practice.
