With the archer down, Teryll aims for the closest incoming wolf.

I'm putting up a post in a few.
I've not had much downtime to check forums, so I'll do the best I can to stay current.

Uttering a few unkind words at the back of the retreating magician, Teryll shifts his aim to the next threat; the archer.

Nice to know that in these uncertain times, my dice rolls are staying consistent.

I meant to post this the other day, I'm in a similar spot as Signy.
I work for a local city government, and things are very much in flux right now.
I should be able to keep up, and I will post when I can, (even if just something short) but feel free to bot me if I take too long to reply.
I should be able to get a post out later today.

Sorry, thought I'd gone already this round.

Teryll follows the plan, focusing on his archery and invoking Erastil's judgement, sends an arrow at Kalannah.

Attack, within 1st Range Increment, Bless, Aspect of the Falcon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

I did not account for the cover in my roll, because I wasn't sure what the exact penalty is here.

Teryll accepts the vial from Faerin, and drinks it.

Not sure of relative positions. If he can take a shot at the guard, and still be able to fire at Kalannah without being too far out of first range increment next round he will. Otherwise, he'd use the surprise round to move into decent position to target her in the first round.

Also, assuming they are reading this already, welcome aboard!

"That's a good idea Faerin. If the rest of you can start with the other guards, I will try to put as many arrows as I can into that caster woman." Teryll whispers back.

Interesting.

Looking forward to meeting them.

Teryll will spend some time looking over the camp from a safe distance.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

"Probably better to handle this here" Teryll says grimly; "People like that tend to come back and haunt you when you're least prepared to deal with them. And this "League" thing she was talking about probably has more resources available to them than we want to deal with. Best to settle it now."

Turning to Pyros and Signy; "Do either of you need another healing potion? holding out one of his.

Teryll walks over with Faerin and offers her his help in tracking.

Survival - Aid: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Teryll targets the wolf closest to Jaethal.

So long as we are upfront about it, I think folks will either understand and play the role they prefer or they won't like it and won't apply.
I may be wrong about people wanting to apply for a more specific party role than normal, but being upfront is the important part.

Terry shifts his position slightly to maintain a clear shot at the caster.

Mwk Composite Longbow Attack, Rapid Shot, Bless: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 1 = 24
Damage, Judgement: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6

If that drops the caster, he'll redirect the second shot to target the man attacking Signy.

I'm okay with recruiting an additional one or two with a note that front line martial or Arcane caster would be preferred. (We could even give preference to those, but I would state that outright if we are.)

While I realize that we have access to some fairly potent NPC's to fill the roles, if we run that way, I'd prefer actual players covering them as we did with Harrim. It's less time GM has to spend planning for each round or scene to balance being useful versus overshadowing us or handing things to us on a platter.

I did not include the bonus from Bless.

Watching the woman transport herself away, Teryll curses under his breath then turns his aim to the other spell caster.

As the fight continues, Teryll curses at his rushed first shot missing.
Shifting his position to get a clear shot, he calls upon the gifts of Erastil to bolster his attack, and again aims at the one called Kallanah, seeing the caster as an immediate threat.

Unslinging his bow, Teryll moves up behind Pyros, and aiming carefully he nocks an arrow, then lets it fly at the one called Kalannah.

Teryll watches the group approach warily, but as they don't look like the typical bandits he's seen, he doesn't think too much about them.
When the scout type points him out, he a quizzical expression crosses his face.
"Me?"

As he processes what was said, the expression fades back to his usual grim and neutral expression.
"Do for what?"

As the Kalannah women explains what they want from the party, he looks to the others.
"Do we need to entertain this further?"

While he does not reach for any of his weapons, his left foot shifts slightly back as he sets himself into a relaxed, but more balanced position.

"In general I'm not in favor of poisoning a person, no matter how big a threat they are. Don't get me wrong, I realize this isn't going to be a fancy duel either. It's okay if we're not planning on giving him a fair fight. Lives are at stake. But I'm not just sinking to any level to get what we want done. Old Deadeye knows that when a branch is rotten, you need to cut it off to save the tree "

He pauses and looks around the clearing.

"I think we should hang onto the wine for a bit just in case we need it. Maybe stash it as Faerin suggested and go see what this hut is about."

"I agree with stashing the items for now. Makes more sense than trying to carry everything until we're heading back to Oleg's."

He muses over the letter for a moment
I am concerned about the letter. What's so special about this place, that the so called Stag Lord wants it burned to ash?"

"I agree with Signy. If he wants the place destroyed, it's worth looking into before it happens."

"A fellow traveler?" he replies with a questioning tone.

Looking over from where he's watching the bandits leave into the forest and seeing the man wearing a prominent holy symbol of Erastil, Teryll hurries over.

"It seems our efforts are doubly blessed in that we've addressed the bandits, and helped a member of the clergy"

Offering Jhod his hand he says;
"Well met friend, I am Teryll Tholor a fellow servant of Erastil, and one of this fine group of folks tasked with bringing peace and law to these lands."

A safe and happy New Year to you all!

Teryll is just about to speak, when Signy steps forward and makes her case to the bandit.
Watching things play out, he thinks to himself.

She truly has a gift for this. I expected a fight, but she defused it easily.

As the bandits leave, he says.
"Well done. I pray they take advantage of the opportunity they've been given today to do what's right. If not. . ."

Nodding at Faerin's suggestion, "That sounds like a good plan. At the least, I should be able to keep the one's in the blind heads down."

He then checks his bow string, and arrows to be sure his gear is ready when it's time to act.

"Hold up. There's a tree stand over there, about 20 feet up. And there's someone hiding inside."

Surveying the scene as they approach the Ford, Teryll looks to the others.
"I'm thinking we should be careful here. They likely have sentries posted. Maybe stay off the road, and work our way down through the woods?"
He looks for any signs of guards in the trees.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

Teryll whispers to Faerin;
"I do not. The sheer number of them makes our chances of getting swarmed and overrun a real possibility. I'd think we're better off waiting until he's alone or the crowd thins out."

"Either way, Tartuccio is a problem. Whatever he's seeking, I'm thinking it won't be good for us."
He turns to Signy in response to her comment and says;
"I'm with you. He's more like a Kobold in his actions, that's for sure."

Teryll also looks over the tracks, trying to help Faerin without getting in her way.

Survival, Aid: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Teryll nods at Jaethal's statement.

"He seemed as though he had other masters beyond Lady Jamandi. Particularly after the stunt he pulled at the manor, trying to set up Pyros for a fall. I agree we should follow him for now, and can check this tomb later."

Later after following the tracks.
"Fine tracking work Faerin! Now the question, which path did Tartuccio take? And what's his goal in all this? None of this feels right. None at all."

This makes little sense. Kobolds? We knew they were in the area, but is he trying exterminate them? Control them? he takes a slow deep breath and then exhales. Erastil bless me with your wisdom to sort this out.

There was some overlap in skills and combat style between Halden and I, (Faerin and I as well actually) so I think we can easily cover that aspect, but the hardcore front-liner roll isn't what I've built for, and won't really excel at that.

I'm okay with either an NPC filling the gap or if we recruit a replacement. (Which might be useful anyway if Kern doesn't return.)
In any case, we can still continue with us four plus Harrim, for now, and decide in a few days.

So Halden and Kern haven't posted in about three weeks now. When do we become concerned?

3 weeks with no warning ahead of time is a good point to start with.

Damn Signy's got a golden tongue!

Ha! Except for when she REALLY doesn't! Can't even remember the last time I've rolled back to back 1 and 20 in either order.

Either way that was really good.

Sorry my contributions have been pretty basic, I've been in training for work the past 3 days, and it's been pretty time intensive, and an extra 30 minutes on top of my normal one hour commute.

Teryll stands to the back, with bow in hand and an arrow nocked, ready to draw and fire if the need arises.
Calling out to the mercenaries, he says "I'd listen to the lady if I were you, the gnome acted as a friend to one of us, and then betrayed him. Set up to appear as a traitor before one of the Swordlord's herself. Expect no less from him."

Diplomacy to Aid Signy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

"That's why I said kind of. . ."

Still watching the entrance carefully for any signs of activity, Teryll considers the site for a few moments as the others move and search the horses.
When the others finish, and gather back together, he says;
"Stealth may not be our strongest point, but we should still try to be kind of quiet going in."

Teryll surveys the area, looking for signs of ambush or traps left behind.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

Once the strange old man has wandered away, Teryll mkaes a quick warding sign against evil and ill luck. He then looks to the others:

"As little as I trust the words of a bizarre old man wandering in unnatural fog and speaking in riddle and half-assed portents. I don't trust that snake Tartuccio not to try and find some ancient relic of power, or some evil device and use it against us.. I'd think we have little to lose by heading there first, before we go to the river ford."

Teryll nods at Signy.

"Staying clear of the fog seems like the best option." he says with a visible shudder.

Standing to the side, Teryll looks around cautiously; seemingly unnerved by the bizarre encounter.

Something just isn't right here. Unnatural fog, and a strange man wandering in it.
"Erastil protect us all."
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

Just FYI, I'll be traveling for the next few days.
I'll have my tablet and internet so I'll be able to post; but available time might limit my content amount and quality.

Teryll listens to Pyros' story, his expression growing darker by the moment.
"The fair folk are all around the stolen lands if you know where to look. The fact this one is reaching out to us for help is very concerning. An evil that threatens the land is one that threatens us as well."
He sighs;
"They can be tricky though, so I suggest we look carefully at anything they are involved in before we act, lest we find ourselves in over our heads."

Well, at least we were already headed in that direction already.

Teryll looks over at Pyros.
"No. I slept just fine. What kind of visions were they?"

Teryll nods in agreement.
"Sounds like a fine plan to me"
