It takes these jokers at least a round to reload. So, yeah, I think we advance 30' as a move action and then each take a useful action. I'll ready Burning Hands in case we can convince the trow to jump at us. Klo and Kath could do some healing on Skane, etc. Next round should be a reload round for the baddies. So we can advance on the trow again and git to the killin!

I absolutely love Skane's suggestion and it's the happiest idea I've had about anything all day. Thank you, Skane!

We were arguing when the gem with the girl's soul was broken. Bastagar harumphed and stomped down the clearing. Did anyone pick up the remnants?

Yes, but let's be smart. If she's like that last troll, we have to shit down the regen when she's low enough to actually die flat out.

Blakkr Hus:

Unashamedly taking the bait of the sub-text in DMVoV's slowest Viking assault... was planning on Charging the trow as we're sitting ducks... the resulting damage from these pots o' doom will likely affect her as much as us?

Or do I sit tight - get more healing and the artillery (Klo/Annalisa/Rikka) open up with firepots and flaming hands???

Former is more Viking! Latter more savvy.

Chief/fellow Hus-mates I await your call...

blakist Husel:
answered in-character, but the gist is this:

stop and heal. If we're walking into a meat grinder, we can do it on our own bloody time and when we're as close to full fighting capacity as possible.

... even if it is the world's slowest viking advance. :)

Bloody, viking violence doesn't mean suicidal stupidity.
HP: 9/23 - AC:14|13|11 - F:+3|R:+6|W:+4 - Per:+7/+9 Init:+3

Black Hus:
Yep, I totally agree. We are going up against a walled fortress, a troll, and a bunch of yahoos with distance nastiness. Going in full strength is the only thing that makes sense.

If anyone has a distance attack they want to use to attempt (futilely in all likelihood) to provoke the troll to come out and meet us, that might not be a bad addition. Otherwise, let's heal Skane up and then do it.
Female Human (Ulfen) Barbarian/1

Black House:
Do we want Annalisa to throw fire first, or go with Skane's previous plan first.
HP 35/39 | AC 16 CMD 17 | Fort +7 Reflex +1 Will +5 | Perception +7 Initiative +1

Blackened Horse (yum):
If that last troll fight is any indicator, we need fire to shut down the ice troll's healing ability. So I'd prefer to beat the stuffing out of it, and then use the fire once we've downed it to see if we can kill her for good.

Opening with is is a good way to piss her off, but unless we can also kill her in that one round (which I find unlikely), it might be wasted.

My gut says wait until we knock her into negatives (hopefully she'll collapse or something), and then Anna uses that while others CDG or hit her as necessary.

EDIT: on the other hand, it may be just what we need to piss her off and into action ... i'm good either way. :D
HP: 9/23 - AC:14|13|11 - F:+3|R:+6|W:+4 - Per:+7/+9 Init:+3

Black Hus:
Personally, I think the odds are worse for us beating the troll while getting torn up by her and assaulted by the jokers on the wall. If we can draw her into attacking us, she might provide soft-cover from the crossbows on the wall and give them a distance penalty on those pots. I think that is worth the risk of Annalisa's first attack not helping to polish the beast off. But that is just my 2 cents.
Female Human (Ulfen) Barbarian/1

Black House and DMVoV:
The Alchemists fire would be a splash weapon, yes? And it's a 10 foot range that she has to throw, right? Do these need to be set on fire before throwing or are the designed to be combustible on contact?

Annalisa:
No need to set it on fire, yes it is a splash weapon and yes 10ft range.
Female Human (Ulfen) Barbarian/1

Black House:
With a range of only 10ft, we'll already be nearly on the Trow before I can use the alchemists fire. So, it really won't work to draw her out.
Minor Crab-beast

Annalisa:
Range increment of 10ft. Which means:
Target >= 10ft = no penalty
Target 10-20ft = -2 penalty
Target 20-30ft = -4 penalty
Female Human (Ulfen) Barbarian/1

DMVoV:
Ahhhhh, OK, cool. Thanks. Sorry I keep forgetting this stuff. Still, she should probably get a little closer since the trow is 40ft from her on the map at last count.
Minor Crab-beast

News I have and it is both excellent and foul.

On the positive side, after working pretty much nine months without taking any leave... I get to take some! I'll be off to Australia (Perth -> Adelaide -> Sydney) with the family for visitations of elders and newly borns and what not. Much fun will be had and I'll be away from home from roughly 24th March through to 10th-ish April.

The bad of it is that during that time I shall be thoroughly unable to run any PbPs, so the games will need to go on temporary hiatus; and be kicked back into gear upon my return to Malaysia.

I know that I've been lagging over the last while(in the vernacular of the talented Tim Minchin 'like a blind man clapping in a pharmacy trying to echo-locate the contact lens fluid'), and a fair amount of that has to do with work related burnout. My trip downunder will refill the Farmer's Union reservoir, satiate my desire for bacon and egg muffins and the clean air should banish the last of the haze coating my lungs.

Game will continue through till the weekend, then pause until I get back before flaring back into incandescent life once more. So bear with me, and we'll keep on trucking in the long haul.

This actually works perfectly for me as the date of your return is right around when I will be taking the US Licensing Boards. I will be newly freed of a major burden when you return from vacation.

Best wishes for fun and safety on your journey. 8)

No worries haggis - enjoy the time back in Oz :)

Nine months! That's a lot of time. And with all the hard work here on the boards as well a break is well deserved.

How long will you be in Sydney?
Minor Crab-beast

Likely only in Sydney for a few days unfortunately - not nearly enough time to eat my way up and down King St.

Hey guys,

This is just a heads up to let you know that I'll be going on a trip starting Friday afternoon and coming back on April 21st. While away, I'll have limited internet access and my day/night cycle will be reversed. I'll try to post when I can but I can't promise it will work out well. So, feel free to NPC or DMPC my character as you wish to keep things moving along. Thanks!

The DM returns... though jet lag clouds his mind and lack of sleep makes turgid his actions.

Updates will hopefully flow from his diseased mind this evening...

Welcome back Jarl O'V

Just a heads up to everyone that I'm heading over to Norway for a Easter break from this Thursday (17th) through to Sunday.

Will likely be off the grid during this time, so DMPC Skäne as required to keep things ticking over.
M Human Commoner/1, Expert/1

Hey, fantastic! I'll be heading to the much less glamorous New South Wales south coast for a week, so make sure Bastagar is a complete utter pest as ever and DMPC him where necessary, as its unlikely I'll be able to post with the reception down there (but stranger things have happened)

Ready to go when you are, Captain.
Minor Crab-beast

It's taking me a while to get through all my threads as work is keeping me busy of a day... but the Black House should be back online tomorrow. The Sidhe I'm off to update now.

I am slammed right now. Will welcome you back properly tomorrow. 8)
Minor Crab-beast

With a heavy heart I have to concede that Caerb is likely not coming back, so the Slaugh Sidhe are now down to an even five combatants. I don't want to DMPC Caerb, so I'm suggesting that I write him slightly out of the story IC before you approach where you're planning to approach.

As the numbers - I'm as happy with five as I would be to re-up back to six... and Hilde has suggested that a friend would be interested in pitching a character. As long as the other Sidhe are amenable to that - then I'd be happy to see the proposed character posted up in OOC thread.

Slaugh Sidhe:
I would suggest that the join-ee (if we have one) would likely be easiest written in as a captive in the tower.

I will bring it up with my friend. I will really miss Caerb though. 8(

Sorry for the delay in posting. It was Easter and then I was sick - sleeping 24 hours straight through to this morning.

I'm up and around now but will probably miss a day or two coming up. I take my test on the 1st but will still post. I will also be in Savannah for a day on the 7th but will also still post. Then on the 9th I move to Staten Island and will almost certainly miss a day or so. Please GM PC any time you like during those days instead of waiting for me.

Orientation is on the 16th in New York, so I have to be in Staten Island by then.
Minor Crab-beast

Had a slight Elder Scrolls Online related delay last night... Will be back in with a post either within the next four hours, or in about 10 hours.

Is Elder Scrolls good? I haven't seen a real review other than the standard fanbois.
Minor Crab-beast

As an ex-Rifts / WoW / Lotro player I'm enjoying the levelling process. It's managed to feel more like an actual RPG and less like an MMO - but I'm still only level 8/50 - so no idea what endgame will be like.

My state boards are Thursday so everyone wish me well. 8)

If I seem particularly scatter brained, that's why. My last post had 2 typos for 1 line.

My friend is not going to be able to commit to posting and so has bowed out of consideration for the game. If no one has a friend to recommend, I think we will need to post a recruitment thread.

If the troll doesn't fall for it, Hilde's going to turn into a forlarren and go ape-s**t rather than trying diplomacy at all. That will probably convince them that we are on their side, but may not stop them from trying to kill her anyway.

I don't see her getting away with anything close to resembling diplomacy or disguise with these things, aside from the magic.

Still, let's see how far your luck can run, eh?
Minor Crab-beast

Indeed ;) - the situation isn't completely lost... yet.

Had a crazy work week last week and need to get over the initial hump this week - but updates are indeed coming.
Minor Crab-beast

Time didn't swing my way today - updates as soon as I can on the morrow.
