Damn. That sucks. Hope things get better for you. I'll stick around to see if they do :)

So it's pretty clear that we've lost both Hammas and Sergei. Is that going to be acknowledged in game at some point? Is there any prospect for the speed of this game to pick up again? It was going so fast and great, and now it barely trickles.
"Abomination! Die!" Roga says, moving to smash the fat little evil fey with his earthbreaker.
Roga steps up to the next mite and swinging his hammer says, "For Brevoy!"
Roga has no such qualms. He charges in swinging his earthbreaker.
Once the group has assembled, Roga will take point, heading for the sounds.
"Everyone get in here." Roga calls to those still outside the chamber.
"Shall we clear out this den of iniquity and relieve it of any stolen goods?"
Roga charges at the other with his hammer.
Well someone needs to roll initiative, summarize the rounds etc.
Does handing the dice over to us mean you're not DMing anymore? Or just that you want us to roll our own attacks and saves etc?
Should we not be going to initiative right about now? Inuki and I basically charged into their game of "eat the caltrops", are they just ignoring us?
Roga will wave the face-skin at Nareth before going after Inuki into the room. "Of course they're dangerous, lets kill them." He makes no attempt at stealth, "Ready to die demons!?" he asks the little blue creatures, recognizing them as the pests from the cave much earlier in their journey, "My horse already offed one of your cousins."
Roga follows Inuki, doing his best to keep quiet.
Roga grabs the axes, "Guess the woman's already taken care of." he says, waving the face skin for the others to see.
Roga clambers down after Iunki, drawing his earthbreaker. Once the others have dropped down he motions the fox-bard forward.
Roga walks by the prisoners, clunking them over the head and knocking them out. "I think we can't trust them for one. As for the hole, I think one of us needs to go in and look. I'm happy to." Turning to Midnight Roga says, "Watch them, if they run" he says pantomiming it, "Smash them" he continues making hoof motions at the tied up unconscious bandits.
"That sounds good. Lets hide the loot under some branches, near the hole. Then we knock them out by the base of the tree, and go take care of that. Then the other stuff."
"That sounds good. Lets hide the loot under some branches, near the hole. Then we knock them out by the base of the tree, and go take care of that. Then the others."
"We aren't prepared to assault a fortress full of men yet. Lets fix this wagon first. Then we can knock these fools out and load them into it tied up. Then we go down the hole, kill that b*tch and get Svetlana's ring back. Then we go back to Oleg's sell all this, deal with this lot one way or the other and THEN, we can worry about our next move."
"Agreed that we should probably not leave that loose end hanging. She went under a rotten smelling tree huh? I guess we should do down there, but what are we going to do this lot?" Roga asks indicating the prisoners.
Once they are standing apart from the bandits, Roga will say "I'm fine with giving them employment at Oleg's under the supervision of Krestle. If Oleg will take them that is. I know we're not required to, but I'd feel better about this if we convened a jury of locals to decide if they hang or not."
"So you figure they're dead yet? They've been gone for a few minutes now. Pretty decent haul here. Whatever the situation of the others, we should take these lot back to Oleg's for trial and to sell all this stuff. Mind helping me fix this wagon?" Roga asks Nareth, while examining the damage to the vehicle.
Roga will load everything into the wagon, and begin fixing it.
Roga takes an inventory of everything the bandit's had after tying them all up.
If any of them tries to escape in any way, Roga will kill them without hesitation.
Copying them out of PDFs is the easiest way. If you want to add coordinates or a grid, that takes about 30 seconds in Maptool.
Roga curses as the half-orc runs off with her dog. "Gods damn it. We can't just leave these curs here unattended. Jutmon, Sergei and Inuki go after her. Narth and I can handle this."
Roga will ensure all the men are tied up tightly and loaded into the wagon along with the crates. After thoroughly searching the camp for anything they might have missed , he will pull the others aside for a talk. "So, do we execute these and go after the leader? Take them back to Oleg's and hang them there? If we don't go after the woman soon, she's liable to escape our grasp for the foreseeable future." Roga looks at the crates, "No way to know for sure if they're killers, but Oleg and Svetlana seem to think that these particular bandits were worth killing."
"Secure these jackwagons. I'm after the dame!" Roga shouts, riding off after the woman.
Roga will drop his lance, draw his greatsword and urge Midnight to step up and attack the closest bandit.
"For Brevoy!" he shouts.
Roga waits the appointed time for the groups to be in position, and then rides into the camp charging as soon as possible, setting off the prearranged signal to attack.
Roga will stop out of sight of the camp . Then give the sneaky people two minutes to get in position. After two minutes he'll just ride up to the camp, and charge as soon as he's got a clear line.
"Don't think it was like that. Just that they were having to pay "taxes" to them every week. They were living in terror when we first arrived. They mentioned a female bandit with two axes who's a real psycho if memory serves."
"Well, I'd wager these are the bandits with the female leader that had Oleg and Svetlana in such a state when we first came to these lands. Either way, by your 'River Freedoms' we're well within our rights to attack them and take their stuff. So we kill them, plain and simple. Try to keep the tent woman alive if possible, if she goes down keep one of the lackeys alive." Roga replies to Hammas. "I'll come up the trail behind the tent, mounted on Midnight. Nareth will come in behind me. Hammas and Inuki come in from the south , while Sergei and Jutmon take cover behind that wagon and deal with the tree guy." Roga says, reviewing the plan and pointing at the dirt drawing. "Once Hammas and Inuki have dropped log boy, we'll have any remaining in the camp flanked. Should be easy from there. If everyone's clear on their part, lets go. Get this nasty business over with."
"Are you suggesting leniency, or just that we kill all our prisoners when we're finished with them?" Roga asks, clearly confused by Hammas complaining about not killing their last prisoner and then suggesting these next bandits were probably innocents.
"There are no jails in the stolen lands, and we are the law. These men and women we're about to fight knew the penalty for banditry was death before they came out here. We may be able to spare a few, but the vast majority of them will have to die. I'd suggest any we spare at this point be put to work at Oleg's. Or if he doesn't want them, at least hang them publicly so that everyone knows the law's returned here."
"Hammas and Inuki wanna go look for the camp, see what you see and then come back and let us know? Keep your eyes peeled, remember before we saw that guy up in a tree when we encountered the first troll."
"Perhaps you make a better knight than I dear wizard." Roga says, laughing, to Jutmon. "I am fine with a charge. It's what I do best in fact. Can you prepare a spell of sleep Jutmon, or you sing a lullaby Inuki?"
