So what do we do now: go back to our Jarl or go to the other one?

So what do we do now: go back to our Jarl or go to the other one?
So, some options for you, for clarity:
- Take the cattle & the captive back to your jarl at Silvermeade Hall - 1 day
- Return them to their jarl (Ulf Graymane) & Javik's kin on the west coast - 3 days (via the Moors)
- Return them to their jarl etc - 5 days (via the Forest)
You will travel quicker on the return trip as you won't be slowed down by the cattle.
All choices are equally fine with me (as GM).
I guess it will be option 2 then. To their own Jarl, but Bjorn will want to use the fastest way.
I third this opinion.
I also believe that we should not further bother the local undead.
Okay, so I think it's Ghostfoot's turn to move us foward again, unless we have to do something at the moment we have forgotten? :smalleek: :smallredface:
Yeppers, it's with me.
EDIT: Whoops, wrong Ghost game!
Yes, moving onwards... ;)
A tiny IC post by me...not really expecting any real response from you but posting this placeholder for the time being.
who's turn is it now?
Have you PMed him? I notice he still comes online at times, but maybe he isn't aware that we're waiting.
Shazam! There he is!
I'll get onto this over the weekend. I'm in a similar situation juggling lots of family time with all the usual stuff.
Question: how is a chain shirt affected? Normally you wear something underneat or it will chafe like you won't believe. I happen to have a cold weather outfit, does that insulate me?
As a chainshirt takes a minute to remove, so that's longer than the spell lasts. So even if I do nothing but remove the armour, I will take the full damage (which hopefully won't kill me (as it's 8d4 in total, for only 13 HP). My axe has a wooden handle and I have a wooden shield, so those should be fine.
The cold weather outfit won't help in this situation unfortunately. So the chain shirt becomes the main problem (again, any underclothes don't help here).
Short sword & dagger would also be affected, but the damage is not cumulative so become irrelevant to the damage calc.
Axe and shield are unaffected. Let's say your backpack is sitting on the ground at your feet, so items such as the metal mirror are unaffected too.
Bjorn might do well to seek a source of heat to counter that cold damage given he can't easily remove the armour.
Okay, move next to the fire it will be. I guess I don't have to stand in it, but next to it is enough.
I also noticed I made a type with the damage roll, but given the attack roll I don't think I need to correct this.
Then they will have to go through me, as I'm standing in between the fire and those critters. At least, if I've seen the map correctly and given that Bjorn will move as little as possible. In fact, I've edited my post as it looked like I could get next to the fire with only a 5ft step, so I have a move action to discard my sword already.
I'm hopeful that PeacefulOak will be back with us soon but in the meantime I think it's okay if you guys want to bot DDW to keep things moving.
I think we should all be willing to have you bot us if we are out of pocket for a bit.
Yeah I will...but I'm normally not the most prompt at botting PC's....so just batting that one back to you guys, if you like. If you're feeling held up by an absent/ delayed player then do feel free to jump in and bot their character. You'll probably get there before me.
I've given it a shot, keeping it simple. At least in combat we have that option as it's just a bunch of rolls. Oh, the closest way to the fire for him is to W18 or a square very close to it.
Thanks. I think you've done a good job.
At least I did damage this time (I hope).
As I don't want to metagame: do we know about the DR? I have a silver dagger, although it would be difficult to hold it with the cold. But Bjorn's first idea is to use his best weapon: his axe.
Yup, them's the breaks. So much random chance that can upset (or create) the best of situations.Quote:
Ah, I love it when my die rolls effectively negate any role play
@farothel: just checking that you are okay with Bjorn 5-stepping away from the heat of the fire? So he'll take full damage from the cold due to his armour. You can change that action to a readied attack & stay by the warmth if you'd like.
Yeah you can observe that your weapons are not doing the damage that you would expect (specifically you can see that they have done 5 points less than usual, however your character might interpret that in a non-meta sense.)
The dagger will be cold, but in game terms it's not going to cause any additional damage (beyond what he might take from wearing his icy armour) so while it is cold he can endure it.
Sorry for the double post, but who's turn is it now?
This is with me now. Will update tonight/ tomorrow as time permits.
