Re: Southern Comfort IC
Gregor
Spoiler"Downwind" in fact, is where you are. You are, in fact, quite lucky that the mountain spurs to your west blocks the wind coming off the sea.
The dogs look around like dumb animals, then perk up as you use your ability with a "Oh, you meant NOW" set of expressions, and accompany you.
You don't go far at all before you realise from the approaching lowing that this pack is coming at you fast. There's another sound as well. A deeper-pitched growling.
Everyone else.
You reach the bank, so that you're not standing in the water. There's a long section of rocky flat here before the trees start. Maybe 70 feet between water and forest. Gregor disappears into the treeline to the east.
It's fairly obvious that the water here is deeper at wetter times of the year.
Kresta produces a clutch of shortspears, and balances one in her left. Bethlen takes three long steps forward and places herself in front of her and the little clutch of mules, her hands held out from her sides.

Re: Southern Comfort IC
Gregor makes sure he is positioned away from its direct path and dogs are behind and off the way, rests his lance against a tree, draws a javelin and freezes in place, looking for watever comes.
SpoilerRide to U10 (with Barry/Cherry in U11/U12 or so), unless that would be closer to the sounds
Hide (assuming Abyss will be most visible) (1d20+2)[20] minus whatever penalty for Gregor on top
Listen (1d20+3)[17] (1d20+3)[13]
Spot 10+7 = 17
upd: I chose the position assuming it would be a fairly close encounter (like because of dense forest or because of little time left). Gregor could be positioned deeper to the east, but this would be useful only if he can see and choose the terrain (Gregor does not want to get charged or anything).Last edited by u-b; 2012-07-25 at 08:34 AM.

Re: Southern Comfort IC
Grath stands in G-6:

Re: Southern Comfort IC
Delphi takes out her sling and she loads it with a single smooth bullet, bouncing the leather strip a bit to relax her hand and become accustomed to its weight. She takes a throwing axe into her other hand, and then she moves into the woods, cautiously, remaining near the others for better protection. "If these are just animals, a little pain should be enough to scare them off. If we drop one of them, or hurt them quickly, they'll probably scatter. Wolves are intelligent, not suicidal."
SpoilerShe's in D7.

Re: Southern Comfort IC
Thorwald looks around with a slight frown.
"I don't mind killing animals, but this is really strange. I've never heard of wolves attacking large groups of people before. And especially in a place where you can trip over your food..."
Still, Thorwald takes his shield down from his back and straps it to his arm, ready for combat if need be.
SpoilerThorwald is positioned at e5.Spoiler"Players may blunder through dialog with shocking ineptitude, forget the name of the country they are in, or get confused about which side they are on, but once it comes time to roll for initiative they all turn into Sun Tzu." -Shamus Young

Re: Southern Comfort IC
Wolves appear. Foaming at the mouth and yelping in an unusual fashion. Gregor, I'm moving you south. Delphi, you didn't give a position, so your're right behind Horbin. Expanded the Tacmap slightly.

K=Kresta

No surprise round. (you know something is coming, they're Wolves)
Wolf initiative:(1d20+2)[7]
Here we go again mates, roll initiative. (Although we really should find a quicker way to do this)
Gregor, behind the Wolves, you can hear something else coming, growling and smashing through the underbrush.
EDIT: Sorry Delphi, I'll have you kick Kresta a square to the south.Last edited by Marlowe; 2012-07-25 at 09:50 PM.

Re: Southern Comfort IC
SpoilerDelphi said D7.
Also, a faster way is doing it yourself, like so:
Dardiana: (1d20+4)[6]
Marn: (1d20+2)[5]
Horbin: (1d20+2)[12]
Grath: (1d20+1)[2]
Delphi: (1d20+5)[9]
Gregor: (1d20+4)[7]
Thorwalt: (1d20)[16]
Apologies to anyone who would prefer to roll on their own.
With the rolls I rolled for everyone, the battle would take place as such:
Round 1:
> Thorwalt, Gregor, Delphi, Horbin, Bethlen
> Wolves
Round 2(ish):
> Everyone
> Wolves[/spoiler]Last edited by Linguz; 2012-07-25 at 10:19 PM.

Re: Southern Comfort IC
SpoilerI did say D7, I just put it in a spoiler to try to help keep the IC thread, uh, IC.
I'm fine with group initiative rolling; it's what most of my other games do, especially when we have this many people.
Can the people with higher initiatives than the wolves act?

Re: Southern Comfort IC
Delphi looks at the open ground between her and the forest, then to the others. She thinks for a moment, and then she moves forward, growing closer to the edge of the forest by about twenty feet. She begins to whirl her sling overhead, prepared to loose it at the first wolf to appear from the trees.
SpoilerShe's going to end up about 50 feet from the trees, so still within a single range increment of her sling. She readies an action to shoot the first wolf in range.

Re: Southern Comfort IC
Greror rides a bit forward and to the right, positioning himself behind a tree, ready to strike at whatever wolf could be heading at him, but he's not very interested in dealing with wolves passing by, he's interested in what is behind them.
Spoiler@Marlowe: Ok, new position is fine, but since Gregor does not start behind the tree, he's still honding his lance.
Moving to: C10 (Gregor, Abyss), B10 (Barry), B11? (Cherry), ready action everyone.
Readied attack at anything in D8, B8 or A9: (1d20+4)[10] for (1d6+2)[7]
Attack of opportunity at anyting closing to C9: (1d20+4)[12] for (1d6+2)[6]
Abyss, ready action at C9: (1d20+3)[14] for (1d6+3)[6] trip (1d20+2)[15]
Barry, reaby action at C9, A9: (1d20+2)[14] for (1d4+1)[2]
Cherry, reaby action?: (1d20+2)[21] for (1d4+1)[5]
Spot (to extend the map further): 10+7 = 17
Also, if Speak with Animals is sill active, listening to anything comprehensible, including birds, wolves themselves and what's behind them: listen (1d20+3)[23]

Re: Southern Comfort IC
Thorwald centers himself, spreads his feet and blesses his allies in the name of Loki!
SpoilerBless: 50' sphere cast at f6. Everyone except Gregor and his dogs receive +1 on attack and +1 vs fear for 1 minute.
After a short prayer a silvery shimmer sparks from his hands and explodes nearby in a gigantic, almost invisble, silvery shimmering sphere that is gone as soon as it came.
In it's place, a feeling is left inside of everyone, a cool steely hardness and resolve.Last edited by AshesOfOld; 2012-07-26 at 02:42 AM.

The thing behind them is saying:

The birds are saying:

The wolves appear to be exhausted. None clears the treeline, but Delphi sees a flash of movement and sends a stone spinning to the one at w7, wounding it for 2.
A gigantic boar appears at L3.

Re: Southern Comfort IC
"Three wolves, running from a VERY LARGE piggy. Horbin, it's moving at you!."
Too late to intercept the boar moving towards the group, Gregor decided to cut its retreat. After all - nice meat, nice practice, and the boar, even if a very large male, was a fair game to any competent hunter. Moving from behind a tree, he threw a javelin and gave some commands in doggish.
SpoilerGregor drops the lance and draws a javelin, riding a bit back to the west, ready to throw if that boar will seem to be aggressive.
Ride to Z10 (Barry A9, Cherry B10)
Gregor is ready to throw if the boar gets to within 30 feet AND is moving closer AND is showing no signs of stopping (asuming Barry is too low to be an obstacle for throwing); dogs are ready for melee.
Drop the lance, ride to A8, drawing a javelin, throw it at the boar. All dogs, including Abyss, take a ready action to move away from the boar if it turns on them.
Javelin (point-blank) (1d20+8)[17] for (1d4+3)[7]
Abyss (1d20+3)[5] for (1d6+3)[9] trip (1d20+2)[10]
Barry (1d20+2)[21] for (1d4+1)[2]
Cherry (1d20+2)[11] for (1d4+1)[2]

Re: Southern Comfort IC
Delphi darts forward as quickly as she can, heading towards the boar, ignoring the wolves. Indeed, she's now sorry that she hurt them at all, though her stone had not been very accurate or powerful; the wolves were clearly not the problem here. "Focus on the boar," she shouts as she runs; "leave the wolves alone!"
She moves 20 feet towards the boar.
