The Sundered Way

[NotStickFigures]

lol....Poor Kropod!

[spiderwrangler]

((Oops! Holger want to give me strength checks? Randy wanted to be last, so K would have gone up before him.))

[Theis2]

We didn't want to share loot with him so clearly we abandoned him

Holger will easily pull Randy up. While he doesn't feel tired at all, the pulling haven't really warmed up his legs and getting further up isn't going to be as smooth.

Holger str: 2D20.HIGH(1)+2 = [20, 8]+2 = 22
Holger constitution: 1D20+2 = [19]+2 = 21
Holger acrobatics: 1D20+5 = [8]+5 = 13

[spiderwrangler]

Every body is now at the top of the cliff, Randy has made it out of the last bit of jumbled boulders and rock (where you guys peeked down into the tunnel before).

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

Randy takes a quick look around and sighs as he doesn't see anything immediately useful to tie the rope to. He's not willing to go wandering away from the hole until more are up.
Perception: 1D20+3 = [3]+3 = 6

He ties a loop in the end of the rope and tosses the tied end down to the others, ready to help pull someone up.

[BadgeAddict]

^Rope is already tied off at the top of the slope, by Zephyr. Who is also at the top of the slope.

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

Oops. Never mind then. I plead no coffee yet this morning. Randy will just stand to assist in hauling anyone up.

[spiderwrangler]

((Well, Zephyr was halfway up, but I think we can speed things along and say you're all out of the hole now. Before someone beefs it and rolls a 1...))

[BadgeAddict]

When Zephyr finally gets out of the ruins, she just stands there, enjoying the warmth of the sun on her skin and the gentle breeze playfully blowing about her hair. "What are we waiting for, let's a get back to the Vale before we find another damn bloodthirsty vine blight."

[spiderwrangler]

Judging by the sun, it is closer to noon than to dawn. The open road stretches before you.

((I think the way I'd like to handle overland travel is to have two main roles filled. Someone to scout a bit ahead (and make a Survival check for the day's travel), and for someone to take point of the main party (and make a Perception check). Both individuals also roll a d12.))

[BadgeAddict]

Zephyr will happily take lead role, as she has so excellently done in the past.

_: 1D12 = [12] = 12

[Arch Lich Burns]

Maji happily runs out into the wild in bear form (not scouting, just glad to be outside) before running back to them walking a bit more slowly for others to catch up.

[M0rtimer]

"Ah, darnit... Sun's blinding me! Guess this is what happens when you stick in a cave for so long your eyes got used to the dark..."

((Need perception rolls from the others, too?))

[spiderwrangler]

((Just Survival from the scout (Zephyr has claimed it for today), and Perception from the one on point.))

[BadgeAddict]

Survival: 1D20+3 = [4]+3 = 7

Well piss.

► Show Spoiler

That's about like standing in the middle of the road with a big neon sign that says, HEY YOU STUPID ORCS, ME AND MY GROUP ARE RIGHT HERE. <---

[Theis2]

Holger will stick to the group, maybe play a bit of music now that they are out and can afford to be a bit more carefree.

► Show Spoiler

I imagine it more like you lead us over some cliff edge because you don't want to admit you don't know where we are going

[thinkslogically]

Nemeia will tag along, singing and dancing to whatever tube Holger is playing.

((Assuming someone helped her up that last slope and the 5 didn't strand her there))

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

Randy will take point and let the kids have fun. He be about 30-50 feet in front of the main group, moving with bow ready.

perception: 1D20+3 = [18]+3 = 21

[spiderwrangler]

Everything is quiet out still in terms of other creatures, you have a fair bit of travel to reach the edge of where the blight induced lack of animal life had extended to. A soft breeze rustles the grass, but there are no sounds of insects, birds, or any larger forms of life.

Zephyr heads out, leading the group on a "shortcut" that eventually does dump them out on the caravan route, dirty, a bit scratched up and sweaty, having bypassed the campsite from a few nights ago, which presumably lies further to the east of where they meet up with the roadway. She sets out, picking up pace until she is maybe a minute or two ahead at a relaxed walking pace, but always certain to make sure to keep the rest of the party in sight. Happy to be out from underground, she can't help but gaze up at the soft clouds rolling across the blue sky... and completely walking right past trace of hoofprints...

Zephyr pauses at the top of the rise and is waiting for the group to catch up before she heads down into a shallow spot. The rest of the party is maybe 300 feet behind her, with Randerwaith taking point 30 feet in front of the jovially singing and dancing band. Randerwaith spots the glint of sunlight off metal to the left (south) of the route, about 80 feet ahead.

On the Road

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

((SporK!))

Randy stops, aims at the glint with his arrow, and gives a loud whistle to get everyone's attention. " We've got company!"

[thinkslogically]

Nemeia draws her bow at Randy's shout and readies an arrow.

[BadgeAddict]

Zephyr, watching the world go by is not as alarmed by the group stopping as she probably should be. Perception: 1D20+3 = [5]+3 = 8

She laughs out loud when she spots a could which looks just like the Dorf that is with them.

[spiderwrangler]

The silly dwarf cloud is being chased by a dragon cloud!

[Arch Lich Burns]

I assume maji is no longer in bear form. He gets his staff ready to (thorn)whip the possible bandit good.

[NotStickFigures]

When advised of possible trouble, Coljin gets his crossbow ready...and moves a bit away from the main crowd, at least 20 feet away from anyone else.
