Filon draws his shortbow as he moves in closer to get a clear shot, and then fires at the assassin.

I love roll20 and understand where you are coming from about daily posting. I think that I would be unlikely to cobtinue playing though if we move to Roll20. I enjoyed the game though whichever way you decide.
At first he pauses, listening into the dark, then he stands and approaches the commotion.
Filon suggests different combinations of watches. Something like
Jasmine, Izit, Aubrin Morde, Spot, Filon, Villager "I think we should keep an eye out for traces of any sorts of tracks in the mornings. Also , are we sure this culprit isn't here, with us. Since we found no evidence among the first murders?"
Filon stifled a yawn, not even breakfast and trouble already. The yawn quickly became something akin to a gag upon closer examination of.the bodies.
He shakes his head, gaining control over his stomach and forcing himself to examine the bodies for any signs of what caused the removal of the head.
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!
Filon does his best to step back from the Ogre then reaches into the side of his pack, draws forth a Tanglefoot bag, and then lobs it at his large foe.
Tanglefoot Bag: with tar, resin, and other sticky substances. When you throw a tanglefoot bag at a creature (as a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 10 feet), the bag comes apart and goo bursts out, entangling the target and then becoming tough and resilient upon exposure to air. An entangled creature takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity and must make a DC 15 Reflex save or be glued to the floor, unable to move. Even on a successful save, it can move only at half speed. Huge or larger creatures are unaffected by a tanglefoot bag. A flying creature is not stuck to the floor, but it must make a DC 15 Reflex save or be unable to fly (assuming it uses its wings to fly) and fall to the ground. A tanglefoot bag does not function underwater.
A creature that is glued to the floor (or unable to fly) can break free by making a DC 17 Strength check or by dealing 15 points of damage to the goo with a slashing weapon. A creature trying to scrape goo off itself, or another creature assisting, does not need to make an attack roll; hitting the goo is automatic, after which the creature that hit makes a damage roll to see how much of the goo was scraped off. Once free, the creature can move (including flying) at half speed. If the entangled creature attempts to cast a spell, it must make concentration check with a DC of 15 + the spell’s level or be unable to cast the spell. The goo becomes brittle and fragile after 2d4 rounds, cracking apart and losing its effectiveness. An application of universal solvent to a stuck creature dissolves the alchemical goo immediately.
Filon continues lobbying the Ogre for his attention with his bombs. Filon swears in Elven as he realizes it to be his last.
Filon directs his attention to the ogre, hoping to draw it away from the rest. Being fairly armored doesn't stop this from being a dumb idea. Filon laments to himself as he throws a bomb at the big brute.
Filon grimaces, is hair slicking with the sweat that is quickly forming on his brow. He pauses assessing for a second and then moves to take cover behind the Boulder from the crossbow users. He then lobs a bomb at the pair.
Can vouch, not a doctor but I had to call tech support like 3 times just by myself like 3 weeks ago (2 of which were password related, 1 was actually a problem with the file pathway of my account not being right). I can only imagine the pain... By the way, when you get a second: Can you tally who all needs to take their actions so we know where we all stand? Pretty please.
Filon will quaif an extract of shield before moving to intercept the front. When ready he opens with a whistle, followed by a bomb, trying to catch as many of the front guards together as he can.
Filon will prep a dex mutagen before departing and upon stumbling upon the caravan promptly consumes it. Whispering quickly and quietly. What do you all think of this: we attack from the front and this side? One group fanning out.to get in front of them. We put ourselves between them and the Legion and we hit them from a second front, splitting their focus. Perhaps we initiate from the side with our stealthier menbers and those who can take a hit. That way those who get might get caught in a crossfire are better suited for it. We put any ranged attackers out front, again blocking their path and keeping firing lanes open to hit the front guards. Also, we should use Some sort of signal, a whistel so that we attack as one and catch them by surprise? Focus on the front group of guards after we take the front driver out. And then make our way down the line. Ranged attackers will hit drivers if they try to pull away Perhaps we should hit the back driver initially too? To box them in? Thoughts?"
:I know we have been through a lot already, but I think it would ve safer overall to hit them tonight. We can use the cover of darkness both to advance and to escape, and we would be less likely to be caught by any of the Legion in or near the town. Given an hour, I would be ready to go."
"We could still look into the local wizard and see what they might know or be willing to offer up?
Filon looks over at Izit a bit surprised at his excitement. Then he looks at the others to see their expressions. "I'm okay with this arrangement. As long as none of you think to be misleading us. I cannot tell."
Filon keeps his distance, not being one to speak up on such an occasion. He keeps his crossbow lowered as to avoid any misinterpretation of hostilities, though he doesn't drop the weapon, given they had previously drew first blood to start with.
"Betto, get out of there! That's Brown Mold, it will suck all of the heat from your body if you let it." Filon collects his thoughts, sideways looking at Zelik, unsure of how to best address his comment without offending the old man. "Uh... right." He adds dully, deciding to ignore the issue for the moment and feigns distraction with the mold. "That stuff loves heat according to an old elves tale where they were trying to go into the First World. It is said they encountered a lot of the stuff, the stories go on to mention their Arcane Magic users utilizing freezing based magics on it to great effect.
Filon follows too, first reloading his crossbow.
You attack the sentries?
Filon doesn't understand the meaning behind Jasmine's words. "Sure! So... you two start and then we will follow up?"Filon loads his crossbow.
"How about this: Betto and Jasmine both are exceptional in melee range. Why don't Jasmine, uh." Filon's voice catches, trying to whisper with the mutagen in his system was an awkward affair. "Excuse me.. Jasmine, why don't you take this extract of Blend, it will help you become one with your surroundings and last roughly 20 minutes, so it might be useful in the future too if we keep the surprise. Betto, actually why don't you take the Invisibility potion and get up there too? Then you two get in close and jump them. Then the rest of us will join in with ranged weapons to help finish them off? If it works then we might maintain the surprise."
*Cries* Maybe now it is fixed...?
We are alive again!
"We should follow the bird. It should lead us to the tribe!" Filon kicks into action at Betto and Morde's call to action. "Right you both are, let's follow." As Izit mentions that he doesn't have much healing magic left. "I have magical potential left for the day to make another Extract. I'll make one suitable for minor healing if we have time after we see where it is going."
Filon prepares an extract of Cure Light Wounds. Once finished he digs around in his bag before producing a vial with a greenish-brown liquid that seems like it should belong in a mad scientists lab. He takes the vial and consumes it, causing his skin to turn greyish as it hardens and his reflexes to heighten.
Filon reloads his crossbow in preparation.

Filon loads his crossbow and fires at the bird
"Fair enough, I'm gonna hold you to that. Nice hit Betto!"
"You will have to tell us more of that story sometime, Izit."
Filon will take the following:
"I'm thinking amongst the more useful tools that aren't claimed, go into that bag of yours, Betto."
Filon finishes preparing his Mutagen and an extract and gathers his belongings.

Potion of Invisibility Potion of Enlarge Person potion of cure light wounds x5 potion of endure elements x3 Potion of Bears Endurance Weapons, Magic, and a Trinket:

Filon's ears turn a little red, worried that he had perhaps offended the hunter. Oh you are absolutely right. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean anything, I guess I just worry too much. Spot has certainly earned his share and more. Excuse me."
Filon watches Spot while they eat.
"We should inspect the berry patch on the morrow," Izit says between bites of pork. "Perhaps we can find a way to compromise with the wasps." Filon groans, he remembered a time not soon after he had come to the Fangwood when his sister and he had been chased by a swarm of them. It had been plenty horrifying. "A source of berries for the time would be good. We will need to be careful. I respect for wasps for the role they serve in nature, but beyond that, I want nothing to do with them. Now bee's on the other hand..."Filon talks on for a while about the many wonders of bee's, particularly those that produce honey.
Filon ponders Izit's words and then agrees. "True enough." ----
"I think if you want to do it best we should extra tenderize it and then cook it slowly. Does anyone have much experience with cooking? My line of cooking isn't one that favors taste so much."
He stays for a few moments longer before rising, wiping his hands of the dirt and leaves.
Filon lobs a bomb as the boar appears.
"I do have some trail rations though. Here, Betto. " Filon hands one of his trail rations to Betto. "One ration for a boar seems justifiable, and we wouldn't have to harm its habitat. I'll stand back, over there, and hit it with my bombs when it comes. We should spread out in case it tries to run." He then quickly scuttles off to the side, trying to find a good location to block an escape path.
Filon considers using the bomb from the bridge before deciding that the damage to the tree roots would be too extensive and moves his thoughts on to other strategies. "I would prefer not burning the tree down, or inflicting undue harm upon it if we could help it. Does anyone have any smoke sticks on them, we left several of them back at camp, unfortunately? If we could smoke it out, that would likely work well. Or does anyone have the ability to conjure any creatures? We could summon something in there, and draw it out that way?"
Doing the loot list now. Please make sure to state if you want something, so I can make sure I keep things moved around to everyone's sheets. If you use something, like a consumable, it would be super awesome if you could delete it or track charges from your sheet, or just make a mention of it as being gone and I will. Pretty please. I'm not sure if it matters, what size tents did we find? I added 2 more small tents for the moment. We have several magical items (and lots of other things) currently unclaimed just fyi. ^_^
I would vote for the same day so that we can conserve provision points and have better odds of finding the boar.
As they begin to move, Filon has a thought come to him and whispers to the others.
Filon will attempt to identify all of the potions on the walk back, using the task to distract himself from all of the destruction and the missing family.
---Later on upon finding the body---
"We should cover the body before we hunt."
"When we finish our hunt, we should bury him. Let the earth take back what it has given, and give our final respects." Filon then attempts to aid the others with following the tracks.
Turns out I have wifi in the Tetons. I'll try and update the loot list tonight or tomorrow. I haven't done it since I left for vacation if there is anything else since then. If someone else wants to then feel free. @Betto
I can go back to doing what you are suggesting if everything thinks that would be easier. Morde, did you want the breastplate still? I just noticed it's still on the main page?
Just an update, I've been roaming this whole trip and therefore have no data. So lack of posting up till now is going to come tinue as I will have no wifi either for much of the rest of the trip. |
