Dunno if the casters got rested or not? Guess this proves the value of the Wakefulness proficiency.
Kerrick has a lance, yes? A charge to break them up? I'd suggest a few volleys of whatever but we don't know who's in the sack - maybe we can get them to drop it.
If shenanigans are in order, G does not want to miss the fun. Looking at the map, it seems there are multiple avenues by which we can approach them. As an old boss loved to say, defeat of the enemy follows his engagement by multiple forms of contact from multiple directions: we need to at least attempt the multiple directions part of that.
Hey folks...just wanted to pop in to apologise for the delay. Dealing with an ill family memeber the last few days. I should be able to post again late tonight or tomorrow morning. Again, my apologies.
That's a really excellent question, actually...I had to go and calculate Kaul's Encumbrance when I originally worked out the climb, so I could figure out where the group the party was pursuing would be when he made it to the top. I made a couple assumptions:
Kaul left his spear and 10' pole behind at the cottage
His Encumbrance without those is around 6 stone, giving him MV 90' (30')
He didn't carry his dog, Cynis, up the wall with him (meaning Cynis is on the ground where Kaul began his ascent)
Kaul can ascend ~1 story per round, taking a bit less than 30 seconds to reach the roof
I would also ask that you add your current Encumbrance and Movement to your Character Sheet so it's easy to look up.
This is gonna suck! I thought I was getting into old-school play by now, but I don't even have a bag of flour in my equipment list. If we ever get some gold, and Hengist actually survives, I'm going shopping.

On top of that, we're in the one OSR game where we could successfully profit via arbitrage due to adventurer demand for that particular trade good....
