'Tis a fine piece of land - though since the local population left, it has become a bit overrun with an unpleasant element. If you clear it out - I'm sure you'd be able to do what you want.

The dwarven tradesman pointed on a map the location of the former-wayside inn. It was located about 10 miles southeast of Gladius along a popular traderoute. It abutted a small river that supplied it enough water to operate some years ago - but then it was waylaid by thieves and looters and has since fallen to disrepair.
Luni
01-18-06, 06:57 PM "Unpleasant elements you say? Well, even thieves need to eat, butI shall not tolerate them from continuing their robbery. Perhaps they will consider a career change. Thanks, good dwarf."

Shakari will then mount on to Fireflame and start moving slowly to the south, with Zyazz jogging beside her.
TelinArtho
01-19-06, 12:52 PM The road upon which Shakari travels is fairly well populated and travels well for horse and cart. Although she gets a few extra glances because of Zyazz - no one gives her any trouble and most are happy to offer her their wares as they are almost all merchants of one sort or another.

As Shakari gets further away from the main travel lanes of the city however, the crowd thins out quickly. When Shakari estimates she is about halfway to her destination, she hears a cry for help from a woman up ahead.

HELP! Save me!

Although the road is wide and open, it is edged with trees and the woman up ahead is around a bend in the road. She is probably 300ft away. The curve in the road is about 200ft up.

In general the road is about 20-30ft across with light woods on both sides. As I said, the trees are blocking your sight of the situation - but that can be negated by moving forward about 200ft.

Alternatively, you could head into the forest and try to cut the distance down a little at the expense of harder terrain and shortened visibility.
Luni
01-19-06, 12:57 PM Shakari spurs Fireflame forward and rides foward to the rescue (Run for 200' to the curve). Zyazz falls behind (like always).

"I'm coming!"
TelinArtho
01-19-06, 03:40 PM Ah, horse-meat - I always like that for an after-dinner treat! A blue-skinned giant stands before a cart, holding a woman by the torso in one hand. He seems well armed - in a chain shirt and with various spears and javelins on his back. A guisarme is held absent-mindedly in his off hand. At the sight of Shakari - he tosses the woman to the ground.

Come 'ere sweetie!

01-19-06, 03:50 PM Move to (10,19) and fire an arrow at the giant.

"Eat this, ugly!"

T=Tree? C=Carriage?
TelinArtho
01-19-06, 04:23 PM yes - t=tree, C=carriage, w=woman, B=Blodak, S=Shakari (mounted), z=zyazz

Also, I generally apply coordiates on the upper left corner - is this the same for you? (In other words, if you are large and say you move to (10,19) - are you covering (10,19 - 11,19 - 10,18 - 11,18)?)
TelinArtho
01-19-06, 04:35 PM Shakari pulls back her bowstring, whispering for it to fire true. However, a wind picks up at the last moment, and the arrow goes astray (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=340330) despite herself. She curses under her breath.

The giant moves much closer and Shakari is impressed with the giant's speed. He holds the guisarme in both hands now - prepared to strike.

Shakari 36/36

-- Zyazz 37/37 (running)

Now that the giant has moved away, the woman can be heard whistling and calling: Fester, Gleebo - come on!

01-19-06, 06:59 PM Hmm. Drop bow, draw scroll of Shillelagh. Use the mount as cover from the AoO. Cast Scroll. Take a 5' step closer.
TelinArtho
01-20-06, 12:23 AM Distracted momentarily by the quickness of the giant, Shakari reaches a hand into her pouch, but in so doing, the giant sees an opportunity.

Reaching with his guisarme - the giant swings it hard against Shakari - who barely catches the swing in progress. It catches her full in the side (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=340542). The blade cuts through her armor, and several bones (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=340543).

Before she could react, her life flows out of her and Fireflame does all that a horse can to retreat.

I can't believe how many of my quests have been decided on a single critical...

Sorry about that.
Luni
01-20-06, 01:16 AM Obviously, you need a new online roller.

What was the creature anyways?
TelinArtho
01-20-06, 01:19 AM An ogre fighter 2 barb 1 with minimal equipment.

I actually expected you to go ranged with it - giving you large stretches of open area. It was decent at range - but very deadly at hand-to-hand (mostly because it is an ogre with 26 str...).

Sorry. Want to try again next week?
Luni
01-21-06, 06:36 PM Some constructive critizism:

Adding the person to be rescued, makes things harder on my end. I don't want to entangle the ogre, due to the fact that it might just squish the poor woman. Thats why I started to close with the beast to distract it from hit hapless citizen.

Also, without knowing its speed and the fact that it has 20' reach, it makes the creature a lot harder.

I'm willing to try it again though.

01-22-06, 09:27 PM Well the person is as much a challenge as the opponent. However, given that the ogre was already "grappling" with her - I could have just as easily killed her off rather than drop her. Not everyone would be so kind to their opponents as you were.

Anyway - as to the reach issue - I thought I had made it abundantly clear on the size and the weapon of choice.

However, in the end the whole thing was decided on that crit. He doens't confirm and it is an entirely different story.

I'll set up a new first encounter for next week.

TelinArtho 01-18-06, 05:14 PM	[Introduction] 'Tis a fine piece of land - though since the local population left, it has become a bit overrun with an unpleasant element. If you clear it out - I'm sure you'd be able to do what you want. The dwarven tradesman pointed on a map the location of the former-wayside inn. It was located about 10 miles southeast of Gladius along a popular traderoute. It abutted a small river that supplied it enough water to operate some years ago - but then it was waylaid by thieves and looters and has since fallen to disrepair.
Luni 01-18-06, 06:57 PM	"Unpleasant elements you say? Well, even thieves need to eat, butI shall not tolerate them from continuing their robbery. Perhaps they will consider a career change. Thanks, good dwarf." Shakari will then mount on to Fireflame and start moving slowly to the south, with Zyazz jogging beside her.
TelinArtho 01-19-06, 12:52 PM	The road upon which Shakari travels is fairly well populated and travels well for horse and cart. Although she gets a few extra glances because of Zyazz - no one gives her any trouble and most are happy to offer her their wares as they are almost all merchants of one sort or another. As Shakari gets further away from the main travel lanes of the city however, the crowd thins out quickly. When Shakari estimates she is about halfway to her destination, she hears a cry for help from a woman up ahead. HELP! Save me! Although the road is wide and open, it is edged with trees and the woman up ahead is around a bend in the road. She is probably 300ft away. The curve in the road is about 200ft up. In general the road is about 20-30ft across with light woods on both sides. As I said, the trees are blocking your sight of the situation - but that can be negated by moving forward about 200ft. Alternatively, you could head into the forest and try to cut the distance down a little at the expense of harder terrain and shortened visibility.
Luni 01-19-06, 12:57 PM	Shakari spurs Fireflame forward and rides foward to the rescue (Run for 200' to the curve). Zyazz falls behind (like always). "I'm coming!"
TelinArtho 01-19-06, 03:40 PM	Ah, horse-meat - I always like that for an after-dinner treat! A blue-skinned giant stands before a cart, holding a woman by the torso in one hand. He seems well armed - in a chain shirt and with various spears and javelins on his back. A guisarme is held absent-mindedly in his off hand. At the sight of Shakari - he tosses the woman to the ground. Come 'ere sweetie!

Luni 01-19-06, 03:50 PM	Move to (10,19) and fire an arrow at the giant. "Eat this, ugly!" T=Tree? C=Carriage?
TelinArtho 01-19-06, 04:23 PM	yes - t=tree, C=carriage, w=woman, B=Blodak, S=Shakari (mounted), z=zyazz Also, I generally apply coordiates on the upper left corner - is this the same for you? (In other words, if you are large and say you move to (10,19) - are you covering (10,19 - 11,19 - 10,18 - 11,18)?)
TelinArtho 01-19-06, 04:35 PM	Shakari pulls back her bowstring, whispering for it to fire true. However, a wind picks up at the last moment, and the arrow goes astray (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=340330) despite herself. She curses under her breath. The giant moves much closer and Shakari is impressed with the giant's speed. He holds the guisarme in both hands now - prepared to strike.

Luni 01-19-06, 06:59 PM	Hmm. Drop bow, draw scroll of Shillelagh. Use the mount as cover from the AoO. Cast Scroll. Take a 5' step closer.
TelinArtho 01-20-06, 12:23 AM	Distracted momentarily by the quickness of the giant, Shakari reaches a hand into her pouch, but in so doing, the giant sees an opportunity. Reaching with his guisarme - the giant swings it hard against Shakari - who barely catches the swing in progress. It catches her full in the side (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=340542). The blade cuts through her armor, and several bones (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=340543). Before she could react, her life flows out of her and Fireflame does all that a horse can to retreat. I can't believe how many of my quests have been decided on a single critical... Sorry about that.
Luni 01-20-06, 01:16 AM	Obviously, you need a new online roller. What was the creature anyways?
TelinArtho 01-20-06, 01:19 AM	An ogre fighter 2 barb 1 with minimal equipment. I actually expected you to go ranged with it - giving you large stretches of open area. It was decent at range - but very deadly at hand-to-hand (mostly because it is an ogre with 26 str...). Sorry. Want to try again next week?
Luni 01-21-06, 06:36 PM	Some constructive critizism: Adding the person to be rescued, makes things harder on my end. I don't want to entangle the ogre, due to the fact that it might just squish the poor woman. Thats why I started to close with the beast to distract it from hit hapless citizen. Also, without knowing its speed and the fact that it has 20' reach, it makes the creature a lot harder. I'm willing to try it again though.
TelinArtho 01-22-06, 09:27 PM	Well the person is as much a challenge as the opponent. However, given that the ogre was already "grappling" with her - I could have just as easily killed her off rather than drop her. Not everyone would be so kind to their opponents as you were.
