OOC Discussion

Question: How big are the windows to the cottage? Is it feasible for Kerrick, armored and with spear and shield and an 8 dex, to get through, or would it require him to actually be competent?

(Follow-up question: are there any elves standing close enough to the window to get stabbed through it?)

None of the elves stand close enough to either window to be within reach of Kerrick's spear.

Kerrick believes he can climb through the window, though it will be awkward, particularly with his spear in hand. He can rest the spear, climb through, then reach back for it, or toss the spear through and then climb after it.

 

The disturbed area beneath the window is inside the palisade? If so, Gwydion will hang and then drop. He will then seek evidence of a portal in the palisade while remaining prepared to stab a fleeing Elf.

The disturbed area is on top of the palisade. Water appears to run off the thatched roof of the cottage, hitting the top of the palisade and spilling down the sides (it's a tight squeeze between the palisade and the rear wall of the cottage; also, the top of the palisade is quite slippery because of this). The green growth on the wood under the cottage's rear window has been disturbed, as if trampled.

Have we lost barkman?

Well, that guy survived a charge and is a spellsword, I feel like I might be in some trouble next round.

He appears grievously wounded, and near death. If that helps.

:-)

Note, if Andrew wants to try throwing another dart before the current round I just posted ends, he can attempt to do so. If he can match or beat Initiative 3, he can target the hollow elves just before they attack Hengist.

Don't forget to post actions for the next round, too.

Seeing as this looks like a pretty crucial round, I'd like to hear from Lamech, Hardrada, Lucasdelsur, and barkman, if possible, before proceeding. I'll give it until either late tonight or early tomorrow morning.

Sorry, long day at work.

If I can cast from my potentially precarious position, I would like to cast Choking Grip on the Elf climbing down the wall. Otherwise, I'll throw a dagger at him in hopes that it causes him to fall.

Gwydion can lean back against the rear cottage wall to brace himself. It will be precarious if he is struck, but he can cast from there. Give me an action and Initiative roll in the IC thread, please.

Looking at Gwydion's spellbook, I assume you're not going to cast Read Languages at him?

:-D

I think I forgot to go to the next page the last time I checked the game thread. Whoops.

Well that was an eventful Round! Nice rolling.

I'm not sure if we made this clear earlier, but is everyone carrying their packs and "dungeoneering" gear around with them?

I am, as i dont trust others to keep my stuff safe. In case of need i will drop my backpack.

Kerrick normally leaves his backpack with his horse. (If carrying it, his speed is reduced.)

PS - one of my first thoughts upon realizing spellsword was “ooh, elven chain!”

I [Hengist] am, which puts my movement at 10 stone unless I drop my pack during combat.  I may need to redo exactly what I'm carrying and what Dagmar is if we're hauling loot, but my intention is to stay at or under 10 stone.

I don’t know where else I would put it, though it does seem silly.

AFAIK I'm carrying whatever's on my sheet.
