Congrats on the job Skalla, we'll miss you.
Sounds good GM Red, we could benefit from keeping the active PC number at 5

"We should probably check out what's left of the farmhouse first. We can harvest apples for the food supply on the way out." Saélihn suggests, moving in while keeping a wary eye out for danger.
Saélihn nods as Aubrin tells of the redoubt. "Yes, it would take a while to get to it, so we'll need a more solid camp sooner. While I was hunting, I came across what looks like what's left of an abandoned farmhouse, mostly a tumbledown chimney and an overgrown stand of apple trees, but it might be worth exploring. At the least, we can add to our food supply."
We're not likely to find a great base spot all that quickly, though it should remain among the top priorities. I think finding the Chesenardos would add aid, help with food, tents, and shelter all at once, so overall primary goal.
Sio the idea is for us to assign tasks to the other refugees to keep everything functioning, yes?
Saélihn stands watch, bow at the ready to cover their retreat as Lizzie, Skalla, and Gronilda blow the bridge. Putting her skills to use, the scouts the best possible place for the refugees to set up camp, given their limited resources. Nodding along as Gronilda gives an inspiring speech, attempting to lift everyone's spirits, the takes in Aubrin's revelation of her impaired vision, resolving to take the lead in ensuring the refugees survive and find safety and shelter. One everyone is settled and watches set, she and Ghost set out, hunting in the outlying forest, to supplement their food supplies.
Been out of town until last night. Will get caught up in a few.
Moving back to the other refugees, Saélihn addresses them "Alright, we'll need everyone to head across the bridge as quickly and orderly as you can. Wait on the other side for the bridge to blow, then we'll all head for the forest "
Hunter level 2
Ghost:
Rushing over to check on Gronilda, Saélihn checks on the fallen cleric's wounds, breathing a sigh of relief as more of Aubrin's healing banishes them. "We've got the stump remover concoction from my Mom and Oreld, that should be able to destroy it!" she replies to Kining, taking a moment to strip the hobgoblin captain of anything useful after Gronilda is back on her feet.
With Skalla getting up and joining the fray, Saélihn finds no opening for a decent shot, as her arrow goes wide to avoid hitting her companions.
Letting out another shrill whistle, she calls to Ghost to join the fight to take down the remaining standing enemy, knowing that Pawnies would stay to guard his mistress and give Aubrin time to get Gronilda back on her feet.
Same. I'm just glad I get Precise shot as a class feature next level so I don't hamper myself every time I have Ghost attack the person I'm targeting.
Her sharp eyes quickly assessing the devolving situation, Saélihn lets out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. With Gronilda down, and still unmoving, Skalla on the ground as well (she seemed to be moving slightly but she'd dropped her weapon), and that bi+<# of a hobgoblin setting her sights on Aubrin, the huntress locks onto her prey, calling a command to Ghost to kill her, as she sends an arrow streaking across the bridge.
Adding a gravelly edge to her voice to mimic Gronilda's tone, she yells a command to the cleric's pet. "Pawnies, defend!"
I mean, a crit's a crit, and these hobgoblins are hard to kill and hit pretty hard. It's why I've been keeping Ghost out of melee since he got hurt. Next round he'll join melee again. As you said, the dice call the shots.
Ghost drinks the administered potion, his wounds healing rapidly.
Seeing Gronilda drop and Grimwold pressed by multiple enemies, Saélihn realizes the need for Ghost's aid in the fierce battle. Quickly drawing out a potion, she unstoppers it telling him to drink it as she tilts it carefully.
Giving Ghost the command to defend her from any approaching enemy,
Okay, thanks!
Weird, my initial post included text targeting the Hobgoblin and describing ghosts movement but it crashed when it posted and just posted the preview of the dice rolls. C'est la vie
Anyone with Spellcraft should probably try to identify the last couple potions and any unidentified wands we have. They might come in handy depending on what they are.
As the group advances toward the bridge, Saélihn tries to keep her focus on the task at hand, readying herself for what would likely be a hard fight to defend those that they were determined to get out of town safely. Going through the gathered gear and supplies, she swaps her bow out for one of exceptional make, the heavy draw would allow her to impart her better than average strength to the flight of her arrows. As they arrive she scans the area, taking a deep breath, before forcing her eyes to skip over the bodies, focusing on instead, spotting enemies.
Saélihn glances over at Lizzie with a look of utter compassion. almost feeling guilty as her own mother stands beside her. She didn't know what she would do in the same situation, but at least she still had family around her...Saélihn's mother was all she had other than Ghost. Pulling her attention back to her mentor she nods, gathering up anything needed and handing additional supplies to others to carry. "C'mon, let's get everyone out of here. No one else falls tonight."
Dashing over to wrap her arms around her mother, Saélihn simply takes a moment to let the worry and fear wash away in a flood of relief, as Ghost moves over to stand near them, letting out a low grumbling sound of happiness. "Thank Erastil you're safe!"
Saélihn nods, drawing another arrow as they prepare to move on. She makes note of the Erastilian amulet, and grabs some of the arrows to refill her quiver.
As her companion races around to attack the hobgoblin from behind, Saélihn fires at him again, aiming to slip her arrow between her companions facing off against him.
With a shrill whistle, Saélihn gives Ghost the call to attack, moving into the chapel right behind him, as she reaches out to the wild animal spirits of nature, drawing to both of them the quickness of a hunting tigress. Wordlessly dashing to the door, she puts aside the grisly scene, focusing on her prey as she sends an arrow streaking across the chamber at the hobgoblin standing near the statue, for now leaving the speaker to the deadly dwarves.
Saélihn moves to where she has a clear shot in once the door is opened, with Ghost right beside her.
"Looks like it'll be Gronilda." Saélihn replies with a hint of amusement, holding her shot in the cluster of her allies, and having host stay back. She keeps her eyes peeled at the door, ready to fire at any enemy that might come out at the sounds of combat.
Commanding Ghost to hand back in his injured state, Saélihn moves into a better position as she utters a primal chant, imbuing her bow with much greater force.
Seeing the fallen villager, Saélihn brings an arrow to her bowstring, cautiously covering Gronilda as she checks the body, silently hoping that they don't find more dead inside.
Saélihn stalks forward, instructing the wounded Ghost to stay behind her, clinging to the shadows and moving from cover to cover with swift dashes.
Moving into the smithy, Saélihn's keen eye for detail notices a loose floorboard behind the counter. Taking a moment to pry it up, she finds a buckler, embossed with an arch of stone, with a fire burning beneath it. Adding it to the collected gear, she smiles at the sight of Lizzie's reunion, her thoughts again worriedly turning to her mother, hoping she'd choose to head somewhere like the shrine to find safety.
Same here. Saélihn's mom is an herbalist, and still unaccounted for. Part of our current goal is a sweep through town to gather our families and anyone we can save before getting out of town and blowing the bridge,
"Wait! You won't be able to handle all of them. There's an army of them over-running the town. We have to get as many people out of town as possible!" Saélihn says to the pair about to exit. "Do what you can, and try to get to the bridge, we have people gathering there to escape."
There was a loot sheet created by the original GM. I've made a copy of it and I'm okay with keeping track of it. You can find it here
Personally, I don't have a problem of a relatively sure thing for the rest of the first book, then reassessing or finding someone else if needed. I'd be happy to have you take over if you're willing to.
I think so! It's quite early on so shouldn't be too hard for a new GM to pick up
Hope not!
Saélihn moves in bringing her staff up in a quick strike as Ghost follows her into the room, hanging back from the odd rock creature.
"Alright, we're coming in!" Saélihn says, running around to the main entrance and helping to clear away the furniture.
Going to the window, Saélihn reassures them. "We should have the door open in a moment. Stay away from the 'rock man', we'll deal with it when we get in!"
Saélihn likewise continues drawing water from the air to quench the fires of the thatched roof, focusing on one of the other burning spots.
Awakening with a start as the healing energy washes over him, Ghost pads over to Saélihn, licking his wounds. The huntress drops to her knees, throwing her arms around her companion before looking over at Gronilda, whispering a heartfelt 'Thank You'. Standing up, she focuses on the burning thatch roof, concentrating on her connection to the natural world and the elements within it, drawing water out of the air, to send a couple of gallons of water falling onto the burning roof. Concentrating intently she repeats the process, hoping to put it out.
Letting out a scream of anguish as her companion is felled, Saélihn stalks forward with rage, firing as she does, sinking an arrow into the bastard that hurt her closest friend.
A little growl rises in the back of Saélihn's throat as the hobgoblin's blade finds Ghost, her focus locking in on her pray as she fires a perfect shot, ignoring the distraction around her to deliver swift vengeance, calling for Ghost to finish the job.
Without a moment's hesitation, Saélihn sends an arrow streaking toward the same hobgoblin targeted by Lizzie.
Letting out a sharp whistle, she directs Ghost to begin circling in to attack.
Yeah that would be why I haven't posted yet, since I may be reacting to the hobgoblins actions., If Lizzie is waiting for Grymwold like it says in her post, then she's delaying and drops down to after him in the initiative order.
Saélihn and Ghost follow a little behind Lizzie, going a bit wide to give a wider range of view as they keep an eye out for enemy activity.
