[Recap]

From Rocky: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Rocky observes
the approaching tuskriders and announces to the rest of the party 'We
donna want ta git inta a grand melee wid dem tuskers. We ud die. …

GM: Ack.

From Mournath: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Gm, is there high
ground in the area that we could get to but their beasts could not? OR
hills, caves that we could retreat to that would provide a narrow gap of
entry that we could defend easier?
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>[outloud] Riders
would easily trample us if they can ride in on …
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. Sorry for wait on answer. To your left (east)
are the hills but the tusks could probably give chase. :<
You're on a level plain so not much cover sadly. Forest behind you
(north) is good cover and could hinder some movement. But those
running/walking may be caught.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Rocky: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Anything around
with which to quickly make makeshift spears or pikes for setting vs
charge?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. Group did gather wood from the forest for campfire
and branches enough for 8 or so hours of fire. Since its early in
night you do have some of that. The plain is riddles with brambles and
spiky cactus like plants but the tusks hooves may be able to handle
them. Metal Caltrops might work better. But I have not run the
numbers.

</x-tab>I sent this
several days ago but got a 'Delivery incomplete' notice today from the
pnpgm@list.powersandperils.org site. Trying it again!
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. I got the first msg. But just not had time to
reply. If you get a error like that forward it to me and I’ll look
at it. Thanks.

From Varo: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>[Wildday,
Fertility week, Storm Season, 1625, Genertela, Glorantha]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>[Time: 5:26 am]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>When Varo looks
over the items the others have collected from the runners, she will take
12 arrows that look good from the collection found, to replace the ones
she has used so far on this journey, and ask for one of the quivers to
save as a backup, & storage for extra arrows. She will store them in
the extra sack she has along with her. She will offer to store any of the
remainders from the 58 arrows & any untaken quivers found, with her
horse's gear for later use, if the others agree.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>[Personally, I
see that they might agree with this & she will pack any extra quivers
& arrows not currently wanted in her extra sack for future use or
trade or sales for the group. She has carried this sack for the purpose
of stashing possible trading goods in it, to be kept separate from her
own personal things. She does have a few trading items, a small pot that
can be used for cooking soups & such, & a couple bracelets &
rings which are packed carefully in a small wrapped cloth in one of her
inside pockets. These items are gift-or-trade quality –“ one fine copper
and one brass bracelet each with small topazes and turquoises set in,
with some engraved scrolling designs, & two silver rings, one a
signet style scrolled with an image of Ernalda, the Earth Mother, and one
more slender, feminine one set with a garnet]

Fertility week, Storm Season, 1625, Genertela, Glorantha]

</x-tab>Varo listens to
Rocky's proposal. She thinks about it & her own skills and inventory,
and offers some initial proposals for the group to …
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. Arrows check.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Varo: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Varo has two
one-hand spears, so that she can hand one out if folks need/want them.
She would rely on her bow until tuskers close in, then brace the spear on
the ground, with her rapier ready to hand after using it.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>But my question
was - is the cliff one drops off of, or one that rises & would stop a
charge if back against it? Cliffs can sometimes be tackled if not too
steep, either up or down. Are there thorny bushes for cover? Is trade
feasible?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. I'll describe terrain in my extra post.
Trade? Dunno. Mythos is a bit vague here. But every culture
seems to hate the tusk riders so they are a common foe for any
culture.

From Varo: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>[I believe this
got cut off of the email update I sent. It was on the next page of my
file – lol]:
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Also - do they
bet on their fights? I could bet one of the bracelets on the fight. I can
put it on ahead of time so it appears to be a personal item of mine.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>These are just
what I can offer offhand. Any other ideas to throw in – anybody?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. Dupe stuff removed. Bet? They may.
Nomadic cultures do tend to barter and bet in my game worlds.

reply as I did not make ita formal answer due to time.

From Rocky: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>When the Tuskers
get close Rocky will stand out in front of the party. With arbalest in
his off hand he will hold up a hand to signal Halt! to the approaching
Tuskers.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>If they don't
halt he will shoot the closest at the last second, dodge and ready shield
and bastard sword.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>If they do halt
he will simply say "Trade?"

javelin and shield and holds it in defensive posture.

From Rocky: [Re: Change of plan]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>OOCÂ Â I
suggest that fleeing with a couple horses carrying double is the safest
option. If Rocky is put on the front horse he can guide using dark
vision.

GM: Ack.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Juno: [Re: Change of plan]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>OOC which
direction do you suggest we run? Do you think we can escape I would hate
to be run down escaping. But this is not our fight my character serves
best as buffer to others that was his training and background. I would
think my character would want to run. But my character has a respect and
faith in Rocky to be the champion. This fight if it needs to be we are
outnumbered if we can all escape together that be great.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Rocky: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>We would want to
go in a direction perpendicular to the course that the tuskers are
traveling in. Being out of their way and being faster they will hopefully
not see it worthwhile trying to run us down.

GM: Ack.
