You’re fairly confident that you’re well-hidden, but you’re not sure how long they’ve been tracking you before you hid in the first place.
So are we done here? Interest seems to have dropped off sharply.
I am still playing catch up from my time away. (not with this game specifically, but with life in general.) I am still interested.
Sorry, I’ve been trying to catch up on work after being away.
turns to face the approaching creatures, draws his weapon and readies his shield. Asks NAF to quickly setup whatever defensive or buff rituals he can think of.
On it.
I will pray for protection and whatever else I can think of.
I’ll fight the foulspawn and protect NAF whilst he casts.
I’ll draw my bow to try to get one of the buggers before they reach us.
[oog]I’m still interested, but the game is moving much to slow for my taste… speeding it up a bit would be nice.[/oog]
Let’s speed it up a bit, then.
NAF, want to increase someone’s END?
Santo, you can get off two arrows before they get to you. Is that what you want to do?
Sure, who is out biggest baddest fighter at this point? I think it is glee, but I have lost track a bit. Let’s up that persons END. I will fight defensivly myself. I won’t seek out people to attack, but will try to stay out of the fight and focus on being able to pray for healing any of my friends who might get injured.
Here’s the short list of the party’s combat skills:
Santo Rugger
END=11
Unarmed/44, Shield/91, Sword/91, Axe/65, Bow/65
NAF1138
END=9
Unarmed/48, Shield/60, Sword/60
glee
END=15
Unarmed/64, Shield/112, Sword/112
Antinor
END=13
Unarmed/48, Shield/98, Sword/98
Koldanar
END=11
Dodge/75, Shortsword/75, Dagger/65
I take it back, after looking at the complete stats, I would rather bump up Ruggers END than glee’s.
Here’s a recap of how everyone is armed:
Santo: 1 shortbow and 6 arrows, 1/2 tent, clothing, food.
Antinor: Shield, dagger, 1/2 tent, clothing, food.
NAF: Shield, spear, 1/2 tent, clothing, food.
glee: Spear, 1/2 tent, clothing, food.
Gaerlen (Koldanar): Shortsword, dagger, clothing, food, rope.
Santo Rugger END=11 25#/11 = 25% = 10% penalty to all actions.
NAF1138 END=9 25#/9 = 35% = 15% penalty to all actions.
glee END=15 25#/15 = 25% = 10% penalty to all actions.
Antinor END=13 25#/13 = 25% = 10% penalty to all actions.
Gaerlen END=11 25#/11 = 2*5% = 10% penalty to all actions.
Let’s consider spear skill to be equal to sword.
NAF prepares his ritual.
Santo fires at one of the creatures. It is a clean miss. He fires again. It is right on target, but the creature dodges it like a ballerina. A short, mean, disgusting ballerina.
NAF’s ritual goes off, giving Santo +2 on END.
The creatures are on you. They don’t seem to notice Koldanor.

“Armed” with a tent? Is that because they are smelly untanned & untreated hides, maybe? Heh.
Um… You can erect one, and then hide in it!
Yes! 
Go for it. They are now at REALLY CLOSE RANGE.
I’ll spring out now, and take the nearest one down before they can react ! (and After santo shoots off his arrows)
It sees you just before you strike. Unfortunately for it, the only reaction it can manage is to shriek at you. You muffle its cries with the slicy end of your sword.
If it lives, it’s going to need some serious dental work.
One down.
tries to get off two accurate arrows before the Spawnoids reach me/us
As soon as I’m up in the combat queue, I attack the next one in line.
