Wesley is terribly forgetful!

Yeah - he even calls himself Welsey on occasion ...................

Quote from: Mogsam on August 03, 2016, 08:45:26 PM

"Everyone should get in the boats!" Welsey declares and starts towards his. "I'll take you to them!"

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #13451 on:** August 05, 2016, 10:27:43 AM »

It's a difficult name to type.

It's just as well I wasn't relying on Wesley to deliver any Ulrun-style info-dumps!

take their boats, sail away, watch then starve from a distance

Sinister atmosphere dissipated by colourful map of cultist beach party.

Hiw far away are they?

Julian quite wants to climb the cliff, and use his night vision to sxout the top.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #13455 on:** August 06, 2016, 12:28:13 PM »

I don't want to work out the exact distances. But they are far enough away that they probably won't see you landing on the west side of the map (assuming you don't have any lights).

Mogsam · « **Reply #13456 on:** August 06, 2016, 12:38:02 PM »

Lets land and murder them! Leeeerooooy!

Finlay · « **Reply #13457 on:** August 06, 2016, 12:42:16 PM »

also not entirely opposed to that plan. A modicum of stealth would be good?

Sig · « **Reply #13458 on:** August 06, 2016, 12:59:12 PM »

Hmm, two questions.

Would I need to make rolls to climb the cliff, and did the jelly destroy my net. I think it's yes to both, but just making sure.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #13459 on:** August 06, 2016, 01:12:34 PM »

The rules for 'scale sheer surface' state that you don't have to take a risk test when climbing unless the surface is especially difficult (with the implication that only exceptionally difficult climbs require a test). These cliffs would be too dangerous for an unskilled climber to attempt, but no great challenge for Julian and Hans.

The net was destroyed (again). You'd normally be able to buy a new one, but the shops would have been shut between jelly o'clock and now.

Sig · « **Reply #13460 on:** August 06, 2016, 01:22:27 PM »

Damn jelly!

To be fair, trying to net an acidic jelly wasn't a great move.

I'm thinking of scaling the cliffs, to try to hit them from behind so they can't run away and raise an alarm.

If I were under attack by an acidic jelly, I would throw everything I had at it.

Sig · « **Reply #13462 on:** August 06, 2016, 01:30:17 PM »

Not going to lie, I would run away screaming.

If Hans' plan is agreeable and the party moves forward while I'm asleep just have him do that

Is this area rural? If it is racial stereotype time activate!

Cool stuff Rufus! I love the Crisis in Marienburg tie in! Brings back memories!

Quote from: rufus sparkfire on August 02, 2016, 01:38:16 PM

Have a good time! You have such amusing place names in the US. Photos!

We do have interesting names! To be fair, the UK does too. A lot of this area of the United States actually has a lot of names given by frontiersman and explorers/settlers back from when North Carolina was one of thirteen colonies and the French from the Seven Years War. A lot of other names come from natives. I believe the Great Smoky Mountains get their name from the Cherokee. The name fits as the mountains always seem to have a mist and clouds clinging and rolling along them.

We drove into the Smokemont campground at the south side of the ~~Misty Mountains~~ The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We hiked a tough 10 miles over cool log bridges and in the rain to find the Chasteen Creek Cascades:

The next day we went to the highest point in the park at Clingmans Dome (Elevation 6,643 ft/2,025 m) and looked out over the mountains. It was hard to see do to the fog and clouds rolling over the mountain. Luckily it cleared up as the sun got higher.

Also, snake! - http://i.imgur.com/YijnwW8.jpg

Then we tracked a herd of Elk across the park. They were were grazing in the pasture near where the park rangers live. I didn't get a picture of him, but there was a huge 8-point Elk that was the alpha of the heard.

Yesterday we drove hiked the John's Rock trail. The top of the mountain has a bald that is all a granite rock face that you can sit on and look across the landscape at Looking Glass Mountain and Falls (in the background).

Anyway, enough side tracking. Back to the game. I think having Hans flank would be a good idea. But having him fall would be very bad! Conditions seem good for a climb, but it is a little dark. Luckily the moon is helping.

What should Admund do? I feel that he is a bit handicapped with one arm, so he's limited to trying to protect the others.

Sig, Julisn want'sto do it but you're stealthier Sogi for it. I say we just approach these ppl. Pretend we're here for rehearsal.

Then murder them after any info?

Heinrich is back!?

Such plot twists!!!! Welcome back Cannon!

Thanks for not revenge jumping me in an alley.

Great pictures, Karl! It sounds like you had a wonderful time. Thanks for the trip report.

I love that log bridge.

Rare Karl Voss siting!

A wild Karl Voss appears! That's an epic landscape behind you.

What were you cooking?

He is. Two unexpected player-returns at once!

Yes, it's rural. Hobbit powers are active.

I think in game time, Heinrich left for Altdorf to help his brother only 5-6 days ago, right?

Mogsam · « **Reply #13471 on:** August 07, 2016, 01:26:56 PM »

These students are just having a BBQ!

Let's kill them and take their sausages! Poor cooking!

Something like that. He did not make it all the way to Altdorf.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #13473 on:** August 08, 2016, 11:16:51 AM »

There wasn't time for him to get to Altdorf and back, because you guys cram entire adventures into single evening! Even getting to Carroburg and back is probably time-cheating a bit.

Anyway, I'm waiting for everyone to do stuff.

Mogsam · « **Reply #13474 on:** August 08, 2016, 09:29:28 PM »

Wesley is happy to ambush them! They stole his girlfriend*!
