<x-tab> </x-tab>[Recap]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Varo: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Varo’s (when
she wakes up, whether by near-miss arrows by tent or other means) will
keep the same actions stated in update #26.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>(new, subsequent
actions):
Varo’s Detect Enemy spell might disclose more attackers than just from
N/NW – which will be part of her shouted message too the party when she
awakens & casts the spell.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>In any case, once
she determines that the arrows are coming from the north/NW, & that
their own watchmen had not called out, she will do her shouted message(s)
as indicated in last update, & once armor donned, start heading
(avoiding the firelight as much as possible & moving low to the
ground) towards the southeast & the horses, to post herself beyond
the horses (among trees just to south of horses) to watch for possible
attack or effort to steal horses coming from the southern end of the
camp. She feels suspicious that the arrows might be a diversion, drawing
the party away from the horses, so aims to help guard the horses. (if
she's already sensed enemies to the south, then her action is explained
easily - lol)
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>She wants to
fight with her longbow to attack any enemies she might see at the far
north end of camp, but she wants to be ready to assist protecting the
horses, if some enemy plan to try to steal them. She will use her rapier
if it comes to melee. And if no enemy appears, she will encourage one of
those guarding the horses (if the guards are still by the horses) to join
the battle to the N/NW, & remain with the horses, using her longbow
toward any reachable enemy target in the dark.
“This is the best way to attack a camp asleep – by creating a diversion
that pulls us out into the foorest, then sneaking in to steal the horses
& anything else that can be quickly snatched up & tied to those
same horses. Earth Queen Ernalda, please guard our friends this night
& protect those who serve the Light & Life. Let me be of use in
this wild idea I’ve had about a possible non-existent ambush,� she
whispers almost silently as she works her way into the trees away from
the fire, heading south & slightly east, just south of the horses.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>(If she has
sensed enemies coming from the south also, she will have called this out
to the party & may have company on her way toward the southern end of
camp.)
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>[sorry, I'm sure
this is way too much action, but I'm just following my train of thought
here. I'll be glad to drop what's not needed – lol]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Aci. Yes. I basically ignore the post until you
wake up then I'll have to go back to last update and combine those
actions with this one. So no real need to post if your asleep aside basic
actions unless you need to change them radically.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Mournath: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Believing that he
now has a location for one of the snipers, Mournath will carefully place
himself where he can take care of the problem with a hail of arrows
(preferably also near a tree that he can take some cover behind as well).
Mournath will fire, then move, to keep his own location in
question.<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Juno: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Juno in his sleep
sees a red headed spirit. She is singing a song inside a box with a
lighted screen.Â
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>“Â Sweet dreams
are made of this
Who am I to disagree I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abusedâ” He is memorized by her short hair
and beauty,
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. Heh a good use of a post as you wait. :)
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Bess: [Re: Song]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Love it! LOL
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. Yep good stuff.

Stuff]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Wildday,
Fertility week, Storm Season, 1625, Genertela, Glorantha]
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
5:25 am]
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Round 5]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Mournath aims at the spot he thinks is the snipers nest. A
wild shot at darkest of night. The arrow flies but whizzes past and
no impact is heard on tree or sniper.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Klorgar is much more unaware of where the snipers are.
He listens and scans the trees. Then he hears a small crack right
above him only 4 feet away in tree to his left and up! So
close! He aims and fires! Hits the sniper in the right leg and he
hears a grunt and tissue rip. The form seems to sag but does not
fall from its branch about 5-6 feet up.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The sniper near Mournath fires back his own bow and hits the
sentry in his left arm but the heavy arm armor deflects the arrow and it
falls down to ground.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The sniper hit by Klorgar reacts at same time and fires back
hitting with arrow Klorgars left arm. But it is good to have heavy
greaves and no penetration is done.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo jerks awake. Unsure why the camp is quiet aside
from the crackle of the fire embers.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo awakens suddenly & half-sits up. Had she heard
something? A grunt? She turned & opened her tent flap & saw the
fire at low embers with only a few flickers of orange. She scans
and looks for what is going on. She spots Klorgar in the north or
so with back turned to her. She does a rough calculation and
figures that Mournath was sentry partner. But she does not see
him?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo feels alarmed for some reason. She sends a brief,
heartfelt prayer for protection, 'Mother Ernalda, be with us all now!'
<x-tab> </x-tab>
She begins to grab and don her armor as quickly as she
can. She hopes her instinct is right or else Klorgar may just be
watering the tree. That would be a tad embarrassing.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The sniper near Mournath fires again hitting him in right
arm but the heavy chain armor does not let the arrow penetrate.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Mournath realizes that the arrows are light so he could risk
a full frontal attack. He moves away from tree and fires but it
goes wild as Mournath moves further north leaning down to use a bush as
cover.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Klorgar aims at the sniper he seems to have hurt and hears a
grunt as the arrow seems to hit in a vital area.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
That same sniper pulled another weapon and lashed out with
his Whipstaff. He reacts the same second as Klorgar fires his arrow and
slashes out with his half staff half whip. But the whip misses
Klorgar by inches. Then the sniper seems to tumble off the branch
and land on the ground on his back.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo casts a spell but detects no danger? But she just
heard something fall like a thud? She hesitates is this all for
nothing? She figures the spell failed.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Round 6]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo is about halfway getting her armor on. She casts
the spell again. This time her senses ring with awareness. There
are indeed 3. Two in the north / NW area which would explain why
Klorgar is there and probably Mournath? The 3rd is actually to the
SE and seems to be moving closer to camp. All 3 seem to be high up
as much as 15-20 feet up.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo begins to shout “Awake! 3 ambushers! 2 North West 1
South East!” and begins to say that two more times. (This will take
12 strike rank periods or 1 full run dot say it 3 times so start of next
round it'll end.)
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Sniper 1 fires on Mournath but misses.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Mournath gets even closer and could go melee soon but
returns fire and he also misses with his bow.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Sniper 2 thrusts his whipstaff at Klorgar and misses as he
rolls to the side.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Klorgar at same time as sniper 2 acts smiles and aims at the
form and should be a easy hit. But as the form rolls to the side
the arrow misses the being by a inch.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Rocky jerks awake. He looks around and sees to his
right there is some being on the ground near Klorgar. He can see
Mournath moving to some tree but cant' from this angle tell for what
purpose Then he hears Varo yell about the south one. He grabs
his arbalest and quiver. He crawls Varo's tent and loads his
arbalest. Varo may not have time to mention distance yet but he may
get 1 shot out.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Sniper 1 and Mournath return fire at each other but misses
each other. <x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Sniper 2 tries to slash with his whipstaff but is too weak
and fails.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Klorgar walks up and stand above the form. Some
humanoid form maybe human? He aims and fires at point blank at the
sniper and hits doing 10 points to his abdomen. The being slumps
and dies.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo grabs her bow and quiver. She peeks out the tent
flap as she continues to yell. From behind she hears a grunt that
can only be Rocky moving behind her tent. She peers outside and
toward the south east. If she had left she might've been a easy
target. Based on the last known location of the spell – knowing the
begin was moving – she aims. But hears impact on a branch but no
sound of torn tissue.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Rocky moves to side of the tent and aims. It doesn't
take long to spot a form in the trees some 15 or so feet away about 14
feet up. No wait. Did it just jump from one tree to
another? Now its only 12 or so feet away and 8 feet up or so.
He aims and fires! The bolt hits in the left leg doing a massive
hit. The Form slips but grabs a branch and does a nimble somersault
to land on a lower branch as the left leg seems to have been hurt
badly.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Razgar wakes up.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Tarek wakes up in his tent and listens.
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM:
Actions? Comments?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Next Update: Tue/Wed?
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM: A week
late but not a month ;) So Varo, Tarek and Rocky are awake. Others
will be as well as odds are higher now. I do need to sign up for
vacations next week for my 35 days off sept-dec. Takes about 5 min
per so 3 hours. So that may delay the update a day or so. But
will try Monday night. So far group is doing well in this
combat. Good rolls for pcs but bad for snipers. Map updated only
Rocky sees the 3rd sniper so far. Varo has his general location but
not directly seen him yet.
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM: 130
Miles out – personal note for me. To be updated.
