Just letting everyone know that I'm on vacation in Daytona from now until the 24th. I will have access to the game through Wayfinder, but posting will be sporadic. Please bot me as necessary.

"We should be ready to retreat, just in case they have nasty surprise for us."
Úlf also takes a breath at the wrong time and begins to wretch; his only recourse is to as quickly as he can back out of the cloud of green gas as fast as he can to avoid emptying the contents of his stomach on the floor.
Úlf moves forward, momentarily releasing one hand from his axe, drawing a throwing axe from a loop on his belt and heaving it at one of the nearest goblins.
Úlf does the best he can to move to one of the walls of the chamber, feeling his way about, to position himself in what is, he hopes, a good place for an ambush.
"Is foolish to just charge in, swords swinging...is better idea to get their attention somehow. Maybe go further back, see if we can make enough noise to draw some away and take on a smaller group."
Úlf scratches his chin, thinking. "Is not Úlf's area, either, but such a thing seems to make sense...still, even pieces of it are probably valuable. Even a normal piecemeal set of armor is better than no armor at all."
Looking around the room at the paintings and carvings, Úlf seems impressed. "I hope Korin and those with him are able to bring this temple back to its fully glory! It must have been quite a sight before orcs ruined it..."
I'd have given it a shot myself if I'd seen it in time! I think I could've had a guess at most of it after seeing the first few lines, since it's basically a D&D-styled reading of Ephesians 6:11-18.
"Always there seems to be more things for us to find..." Úlf comments aloud, looking around the room.
If it makes you feel any better, Amelleanne, I've just realized that I haven't updated my character sheet on the site from my HeroLab sheet since I got the magic axe, so I've still been rolling from the one I had earlier. Gotta change that when I get home from work!
"And will also be helpful to dwarves!" Úlf chimes in.
Level-Up Summary: Level: +1 Fighter
Skill Points: +4 (+1 Know-Dungeon, +1 Know-Eng, +1 Survival, +1 Intimidate) Leveling up fighters is not a very complicated endeavor. Haha.
Realizing the wisdom in what the others were saying, Úlf agrees that there is no need to go about simply looting and very quickly rescinds his earlier statement. Having already been the recipient of the group's efforts to employ some magical weapons, the warrior decides it would be best to let others take their first pick of the things that they were given in reward by the dwarves.
"Úlf has no idea what it was, but is glad you are alright!" "If we have nothing else to do here, I am thinking we should try to take all we can back to Daggerford. I am sure it would be useful to people back home."
"Is good idea! Dwarves have always been helpful to us so far."
Úlf looks to the others, scratching his head. "One door is as good as another...but I think I will wait for those who know what a trap looks like to go first."
"It sounds like good idea to me! Úlf doesn't want to leave any stone unturned, either."
Breathing a sigh of relief, Úlf claps Tyler on the shoulder. "Is good thinking! Will make looking around easier!"
Úlf nods in agreement with the others and backs away from the golem, though doesn't ever take his eyes off of it while doing so.
Úlf brings his greataxe to bear as soon as the statue comes to life, but then hesitates, seeing that it did not immediately move to attack the group. Without taking his eyes away from the construct, Úlf questions the others. "...what is it waiting for?"
"It makes Úlf wonder who they were trying to keep out! Is lot of trouble to go to for something simple like goblins or orcs."
"Úlfheðinn Sigmundarson, but most call me Úlf! Is good to meet you, Liren Keel! You will find there is much work to be done for warriors if you stay long with us."
Úlf will do the same; potions and tinctures are not at all his area of expertise.
"Is good you did not fall into trap, else you may have made your penance in person! If you mean us no harm, I think we do not mean any to you. There is plenty here that does, though. Is good to be on guard!"
Úlf gives a nod at the suggestion. "Úlf would be glad to hold rope and lower you down."
I'm tryin'! Still hoping that one day I can get into a Jade Regent game that gets past book one, though obviously not as Úlf. The campaign holds a special place in my heart since it was the first PbP game I was ever in.
Hey Daniel! Nice to see you again!
Úlf seems confused by the retreating bandits, his steps slowing to a swift halt, at which point he turns to focus on the dwarves that remain. He doesn't continue the fight, though, instead brandishing his axe in a posture that is more waiting and anticipatory than anything else.
That sounds like a good plan to me. Bring on the healing!
Úlf uses a double-move to get within charge range of the enemies, but remain within the range of his allies' aid.
I'm game to keep going.
Úlf moves forward with the intention of getting around the column to engage their enemies, but he's sure not to run so far ahead that he makes himself a target.
Ulf, hesitating in the calm before the storm, snaps to attention, making a beeline for the nearest bandit! -Posted with Wayfinder
"Hmm. Are several options for us, then. Between orcs, undead, and an ogre, I am unsure what is worse"!
"Úlf agrees! Let it be beginning of long and prosperous friendship between our peoples!"
Úlf does what he can to contribute to the repair of the crack, hoping to make sure it doesn't ever prove to be a problem again.
Úlf's greataxe is already masterwork, as well.
Well, blah. I forgot, too. That being the case, maybe we should all invest in some alchemist's fire or acid or something?
Úlf would certainly dearly love an enchanted greataxe going forward. Since we're only gonna have a few days, though, we need to make sure we optimize the time Bryn spends enchanting.
"Ah! Is my misunderstanding, then! Yes, this sounds like good plan to Úlf. Bryn makes good point, though. Is maybe good idea to be a bit more prepared in future."
"Is too bad we don't yet have magics that allow us to send long-range messages...would make this much simpler. In most cases I would agree, Leon, but this is different I think. We do not have authority to send shipment of supplies like this. We can recommend it be done, but that is all."
Úlf is pleased that the council is in agreement that a more permanent solution is required and is certainly happy to make a return trip to implement it. He also makes sure to go and visit Derval and let him know that his amulet helped avert a potentially bad situation, but he also wants to know what else the smith can tell the group that may help when they go back.
"We hail from town of Daggerford, and your crest was given to us by one of your own, Derval Ironeater, after we save his life! There is no threat to our town, some kind of poison that is in the water, and we are trying to find source of it. We mean no offenses; we only try to stop poison water from hurting us or others again."
"Hmm...Úlf is thinking the mixing probably happened somewhere deeper in mountain."
