We are here for when it goes restart. <Woof>

The Brambleknight ambles over the the west wall. With Nettle held ready, a clear charge lane is open to the south as they await everyone to arrive.
Betony ties ropes to Thistledown's saddle and under his chest and belly, while the wolf peers over the edge with muscles tensed. " No boy, you ain't jumping. We will lower you. I don't care what you think. Bjorn and us will help lower you, and Skane and Hack are down there to untie you. I will climb down with you to see that you don't get hung up. She is unsure how much of that gets through, but he doesn't jump. And once she starts on the ladder, Thistledown seems willing to be allowed to be lowered after her. Once on solid ground, she unties him and remounts and keeps a watch out as the others come down.
Betony dismounts from Thistledown and starts working at removing his saddle. "Us two will take the first watch. We didn't get dinged up nearly as much."
Seeing Skane and then Bjorn go down, Bettony drops her lance as she digs her heals in to get Thistledown to charge to help her friends. She pulls her axe free in tine to deliver a blow.
Thist, bite him but do NOT chew. Hear me? No chewing." Penned in Betony allows Thistledown to bite at the zombie, but then pulls on his lead to get him to give her some space so she could still use Nettle.
[ooc}Are those 10' squares? Or are the pillar squares unpassable? Well, in any evant, if Bjorn dropped his foe, Betony can move through his square to y-14 (6 squares) leaving a charge lane for Bjorn and still attacking the zombie in AA-13 with reach.[/ooc]
The Brambleknight rattles past Bjorn She aims her lance at the lone zombie (AA-13) .
As the search continues, Thistledown pads back in bearing Betony.
Thist's ears go up and Betony reins him to a stop. Sure enough something is moving down here. She moves closer to the group and hisses. "Guys....Guys. Something is shuffling around down here....over there," and she points to the next room.
Betony will follow Krill upstairs enough to see them past the frog pond. She will then wave and return below to catch up with the others.
"Whoa...whoa.." Betony is in for a bouncy ride as Thistledown bounds into the small room, tail wagging, and many licks for Bjorn. She reins him in with a concerned look when she hears that Rianna is not also here. "Maybe in another room? The Ogre wouldn't have...", but she doesn't finish the statement, but everyone must be thinking it.
I'm back in the states, but not yet home (stuck with bad hotel and airport Internet till then). Had a good trip, but it will good to get back home. I will try to get read-up and back in the threads over the next day or two. Should be home and up to speed by Thursday night. Sorry for the posting gap. Good to see Bjorne back.
"Well that does look promising then. No beasty is lighting torches. Lead on Skane."
I have a 2-week trip to Italy coming up Saturday. I should have ready access to wi-fi for an occasional peak (and hopefully post) at the boards, but I doubt it will be a priority, as I am tour directing for our group. DM-PC as needed if there is too much of a delay.
Aye. Let's go west. Hunting bandits sounds better than hunting beasts. The west is doors and a way down. Would think humans would be living up top here before living down there. Is that correct? And here she looks to the others in the party. Although I bet it might be cozy down there, huh boy, she whispers into Thisledown's ear.
Betony remounts Thistledown, readies her shield and lance. She will take up a position behind Skane and Hack.
"That doesn't sound like anything we have come across, huh boy?", says Betony as she pats Thistledown's neck as he sniff's at the tracks.
Still in the keep, "Skane? Perhaps you can help Krill coax the chest open?" And she mimics a few smashing motions to the Northerner, behind the struggling halfing's back."Loosen it maybe. But be careful, they might have hid their pie in there...I know I would."
Wesh, you keep using that word 'Healing'. I don't think it means what you think it means. So does the dice-bot hate you or Skane?
Bettony looks up from Skane's prone form to Wesh. "Got anything else left in ya. I don't think he felt that."
Bettony goes back in to help move the dead away for disposal.
Technically you are just before me. We are both at the top of the round, and I have just been going once I see the bottom of the round resolved, in order to keep things flowing. Hasn't been to much of an issue until you hexed me last round after I had already gone, then I realized I should watch that more clearly.
Top of the Round for Round 6 Betony and Thistledown continue to attack Bandit 4. Again Thistledown leads.
+4(?)
Betony and Thistledown turn their attention to Bandit 4. She lets the wolf attack first in hopes of tripping him.
Round 4 Having watched Skane topple along with the Bandit leader, "Just the bad men Thist. Leave the good guys standing. Take that one."
Thistledown matches Betony's attack and attacks Bandit#1 as well.
Free Trip Attempt if bite is successful
Betony tries again to put down one of the Crossbowman (Bandit 5).
Thistledown meanwhile crouches toward the man wrestling Skane and tries to bite him. 5' adjust to just North of Skane
Free Trip Attempt
Betony Status: AC 19; HP 13/23. Thistledown Status: 14 AC, 20/20 hp
I will be here. Good luck.
Too close for the lance, Betony drops it in favor of Razor-Leaf (vs Brigand 1).
Thistledown adds to this attack
"Come on Skane, You can shake 'im." Betony tries again to put down one of the Crossbowman.
Thisltledown meanwhile crouches toward the man wrestling Skane and tries to bite him.
Betony stabs at the same Bandit as it shoots at her, but to little effect.
As the door opens, Thistledown surges without any encouragement from Bettony...he has their scent. Betony catches her balance as he weaves through her friends and lowers Nettle as they burst into the room.
"RrrBarkRrrRrr....I mean, these are the bandits all right."
The Brambleknight pads forward, lance pointed at he door and shield ready. Betony leans over Thistledown's neck and whispers in his ear, Speak with Animals "Smell any of them bandits, Thist?"
Betony readies lance and shield. She leans over Thistledown's neck and whispers "Don't worry boy, will get that much out of your fur tonight after we kill us some bandits. "Anything they want to avoid, so do I."She then nods that she is ready to proceed into the Keep
Without Thistledown's charge, Betony continues to have trouble sinking Nettle's tip into the slimy beast.
Round 4 Betony will attack from where she is, not confident that the water won't rise above Thistledown if she pushes closer.
"Come on Thist! You finish that small one so I can concentrate on the big slimy one."
Round 2 "Hack? I don't think you want to go in there. It's really stinky from where I am standing." Betany again pokes her lance at the biggest frog while Thistledown continues to worry the closer amphibian.
"Howooo!" the Brambleknight rattles into motion and charges the big frog. (to C-6). She lowers the lance against the large and slippery foe while Thistledown nips at the smaller frog.
"Yeya! Thist! You could have told me they were big ones!"
Betony leans over Thistledown's neck and grumbles in his ear. "GrrRrerrrerRerrRr"
"Hard to approach anyway but straight on. Do we have anything to soften the approach?...more fireworks or something...don't we have a spare bear on paper...send the paper bear in and we will follow.
"Aye. Lead on. We will follow."
"We can ask those on the road, coming from town if they had seen this group come in yesterday."
Excuse me, have you seen a rough group led by a red-haired...what, Thistledown?...he's a good wolf...... No, he doesn't do tricks, other than bite bad men...have you seen any?......The red-haired man, that's who..."
The Brambleknight sidles up to Silar, "We are after the bandits of course. We roughed 'em up good at their hideout, but the leader and a few slipped away. They got their horses..." Here she indicates the party members walking ahead of them. "We were tracking them when they came upon that group of travelers, and now they seem to have gone into that town." Betony takes a moment to scratch at a tangle in her hair, "Say...you might be good to go in that town and poke around as the bandits won't have seen you before....same with Hack. I think the Leader got more than a good look at the rest of us."
"All these tracks...most be a town up close." Betony's face lights up at the thought of a tavern and PIE.
Thistledown has been around enough campfires to spot the easy mark. He takes the first bits offered and establishes a new watch, on this man and where those meat bits are coming from. Once camp starts to break, Betony pulls Thistledown away from his new friend. "Don't worry Mister. We will catch these bandits."
They pad over and give Betony gives Rianna a hug while Thistledown licks her hand. They try the same with Bjorn, but both just end up with faces full of fur and beard. "Be safe."
Betony looks around curiously, "Who is we?" She rubs Thist's neck with a smile, "We are the Brambleknight, Betony and Thistledown. That is Wesh a follower of Desna, a trio of northmen Skane, Björn, and Hack, the ladies are Rianna and Rosslyn, and...and Silar was around here somewhere." Getting closer, "Wesh, you should look at this. There are people in there hurt."
"Hey Thist, you should ask them how they learned to talk." They turn and walk back to the group. "Their oxen say that they have hurt people up there. They are travelers and don't want trouble and want us to put away weapons." She pulls out her banner with the wolf in front of a great tree. She affixes it to Nettle, and rides forward holding it upward in the breeze.
