Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
Now we have a hard decision. Attempt to pursue, or return and report.

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
Ok, totally mean question here.... but could I have used Odin's Blessing to reroll that Will Save?
I'm fine with having failed if that makes the plot easier, but I totally would have done it given the option.

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
Fair question - you could have used it, and perhaps have endured a round or two longer, but would have eventually succumbed (ongoing effect, DC increases each round, and also the event is important to the plot).
Then I would have given you back your Odin's Blessing in the spirit of fairness.
I figured it simpler to cut-out the rerolling. Here it is, for completeness:
Round 1
Will DC15 or sleep (Odin's Blessing reroll)
Gunnar (1d20)[5]
DDW (1d20+1)[21]
Freyja (1d20+1)[20]
Skorri (1d20+1)[16]
Signy (1d20+2)[3]
Round 2
Will DC16 or sleep
DDW (1d20+1)[15]
Freyja (1d20+1)[9]
Skorri (1d20+1)[17]
Round 3
Will DC17 or sleep
Skorri (1d20+1)[19]
Round 4
Will DC18 or sleep
Skorri (1d20+1)[9]Last edited by Ghostfoot; 2018-11-19 at 03:16 PM.

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
Skorri could've totally taken out all the enemies by himself in just 3 rounds~
The sensible thing to do would be to let the jarl know what has happened... *eyes Wisdom score*... LEROY JENKINS!!!

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
Ok, thanks. I was thinking of the ground conditions, like if the moors were softer earth than the hills the horses could maintain higher speed in the hills, so I appreciate the confirmation.

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
So DDW will get the horses if he can (awful rolls notwithstanding), and catch up with the group if they want to start following.
Can I take 10 on survival to track them?

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
The path through the Trollfist Hills will be winding and stony/ uneven, but possibly less perilous if it has recently been cleared out by the jarl's men. Travelling through the Moors should be quicker but will pass through more of the Barrow Lands, which are well known to be hazardous.
Yep, rounding up your horses and tracking the kidnappers through the night will be fine (I've rolled separately). I'll post to that effect in the next couple of days when I get a bit of spare time.

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
the Last Kingdom
It's amazing. focuses more on the Saxon part of the saxon and dane stories.
Think Vikings but better. (post Ragnar)
The author created a character (Uhtred), who is historically related to him, and is the lord of a minor fasthold called Bebbanburg. They had this weird tradition of calling each successor the same name, so it's impossibly hard to know which one did what, historically speaking. So he took a character he made, and inserted him into the major conflicts of the time, making him the crux of them all (and usually the reason why one side won or lost), but there is no historical reference to him being present, but because of how it's written, it works, and it's genius.
Also, being english, and having grown up there, makes even better.
Either way, i strongly recommend it.Spoiler

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
Hustle would kill the horses, almost guaranteed.... but we'd get there quickly. I think our runner would be even worse off if we hustled on the horses.
DDW doesn't have any method for healing at the moment, so that non-lethal damage would stick unless our wise woman has anything left?

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
Hmmm... normal for our walker plus forced march seems the optimal plan, otherwise we’re killing our horses and heavily damaging one of our heavy hitters.
I think that’s probably what we should do?
EDIT: Spell less Ranger also gets some healing at level 3. Yay future options!
Totally forward-thinking here, what sorts of terrains tend to be around?Last edited by PeacefulOak; 2018-12-18 at 06:19 PM.

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice OOC
Around here it's mostly forest, moors & hills. And sea of course (and therefore lots of coast, whatever terrain that technically counts as). Further afield there are plenty of mountains ringing the North Sea, and as one heads further north (which you will get the chance to) you'll encounter sub-arctic & arctic versions of the same.
