Ongoing Games (In-Character)Play-by-post games are going on in this forum as we speak (well, read). All threads on this board are actual games, so please, only post on a thread if you are a player of that game.
Valen follows closely, blade in hand as he follows behind the dwarf as Lurt moves with a purpose.

It doesn't take Kirt long to find a well used path, it should b simple for the Dwarf to take the path into the Ridges. He'd expect to find the cave quickly...
Mithril watched the rest of the group walk toward the caves. Hide? Oh yes, um... you were up a tree earlier? Do you think that would work for me?" She looked around for any trees with decent cover that she could climb.
Mithril indeed spots a tree that would work. It's nestled in a thicket of trees and it's trunk splits into three about 15' off of the ground.
As she attempts to climb into position Henry offers his hand to help..."Here let me help you."
Spoiler
Henry Aids another on a Climb check.
DC15 to climb the tree.
Secondary Cave Entrence
As the group is walking, Valen quickly holds up his hand letting the group know that he has heard something above the cave entrence... Valen quickly switches his Great Sword for his bow, knocking an arrow... The Orc, now visible attempts to climb down the rock face before he can be noticed to the entrence to the cave... He quickly slides down, keeping his balance as he goes...
Spoiler
Surprise Round, Valen and the Orc get a single action, then Initiative...
The beguiler flicks his wrist and utters a quick incantation... The Orc takes two drunken slowing steps before finally collapsing to Shiny's enchantment...
They don't have too much time before he wakes up. Natalia looks to the others and asks, "Get him?" relieved that Shiny defaulted to his nonlethal enchantments like always.
Spoiler
How far away is the orc and what's the terrain like?
Shiny nods. "Let's tie him up- we can wake him and try charming him. We'll learn how many orcs are within these caves. Maybe if we're lucky we'll learn more."
If nobody else does it, then Natalia takes the orc, ties him up, drags him back to the group, and rechecks the rope to make sure they're tight (take 20 for a 30 on Use Rope if I can).
Kurt stands guard over the prone orc while Natalia ties him up, his axe resting in his hands. At least he didn't have to use it yet, though beheading a tied up orc will be even worse, if it comes to that.
Natalia spends a full two minutes tieing the Orc up, she does this near the orc cave and the Orc is already regaining consciousness before they attempt to move him.
Before he wakes Valen takes a strip of rope and forcefully gags the Orc with it, "Just in case Shiny's enchantment doesn't take hold."
After binding the Orc he begins to awaken as you try and drag him... struggling, but unable to break himself free. He also attempts to shout, but the rough gag stops him for more than grunting.
Shiny walks up from behind the orc, points a few fingers at him, and utters his charming enchantment.
Spoiler
Is the orc denied his Dex bonus against Shiny right now for the purposes of Surprise Casting? (I think it makes sense since he's tied up, especially if Shiny's coming up behind him, and he would obviously be denied it if Shiny were trying an attack).
In that case, this is a DC Will save 16 (15 if he isn't denied his Dex bonus). I assume he gets a +5.
