[2024/06/30 14:12] Kylie: made it
[2024/06/30 14:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: so you did
[2024/06/30 14:12] Mecha: Hi Kylie
[2024/06/30 14:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: we waited for you
[2024/06/30 14:13] Kylie: thank you
[2024/06/30 14:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, so, just us?
[2024/06/30 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, let me find things and get started. Kylie, Mecha, you were here last week, but not Sapphire of course
[2024/06/30 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Now streaming at: http://81.133.27.194:8000
[2024/06/30 14:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: last week, as I recall, we just got to a fortified logging camp on the other side of a river.
[2024/06/30 14:17] Kylie: I remember cutting off the thing from the ship and binging it on a cart somewhere
[2024/06/30 14:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: The bridge to the camp was blocked by a cart, and three hobgoblins
[2024/06/30 14:17] Mecha: indeed
[2024/06/30 14:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: you've dealt with that, and now the way to the fortified logging camp is open... you can see smoke rising from within, and all round, log walls, with furtive figures lurking. They've not noticed you yet
[2024/06/30 14:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: And yes, a cart with the figurehead on it, and a (non-com) dryad, awaiting the head of the head hobgoblin.
[2024/06/30 14:18] Sapphire: ( Should I presume I am or am not around? Didn't realize game was out in the wildernes
[2024/06/30 14:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: we'll presume you're here, as always, players come and go, we keep it flexi.
[2024/06/30 14:19] Kylie: We dragged your ass on the cart with us
[2024/06/30 14:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: And with that recap out of the way... GGGGGGgggggggrrrreeeeetings, Adventurers! Other players get coherent story lines, you get a random mish-mash.
[2024/06/30 14:20] Mecha: woke you up as you were cuddling the figure head inhabited by the Dryad
[2024/06/30 14:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha, perhaps you start us off.
[2024/06/30 14:21] Mecha: All right I am going to take out my axe but search the goblins
[2024/06/30 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Could be difficult, two are in the river.
[2024/06/30 14:21] Sapphire: Netty, now mostly sober again, sits up in the cart, blearily looking out and blinking in the (absence of?) light, one arm still around the figure head, the other feeling around the floor for their sword and bow.
[2024/06/30 14:21] Mecha: search the dry one
[2024/06/30 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Enjoy the 9sp
[2024/06/30 14:22] Mecha: I will
[2024/06/30 14:22] Kylie: I will search the ground around us for something to help getting into the logging camp
[2024/06/30 14:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: At the moment, Kylie, you're in a forest, on a trail. The bridge leads over the river to the logging camp, which is surrounded by an area of logged forest (ironically, that means no logs, they all got cut down)
[2024/06/30 14:24] Sapphire: Netty also works on checking they also have enough clothing on to fight. "Right. Um. We protecting that camp or clearing it out?" She eyes the stumps, to decide if they're enough that a horse would dread to trot through them, and if she could dramatically leap from stump to stump while fighting.
[2024/06/30 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: "valid options" might be cross the bridge.. swim the river and then scout...
[2024/06/30 14:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'd say they'd definitely stump a horse, once you crossed the bridge and got through the crudely fortified logging camp
[2024/06/30 14:26] Mecha: Finding information and then possibly clearing it out. Say hi to the Dryad in the figurehead.
[2024/06/30 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: how you going to do that?
[2024/06/30 14:26] Sapphire: (I suggest smooches)
[2024/06/30 14:27] Kylie walks on the brindge and jumps to see if it is sturdy for all our weight and the cart
[2024/06/30 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's a sturdy bridge. Unlike the fortifications, it was clearly well- and properly- built
[2024/06/30 14:28] Mecha: I go to the flipped cart and move it out of the way so ours can get through
[2024/06/30 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20, strength check, must roll under 18
[2024/06/30 14:28] D20: Mecha rolls 16
[2024/06/30 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: The cart makes a big splash and sinks into the river.
[2024/06/30 14:29] Mecha: Went further than I intended. Looked like a nice cart too
[2024/06/30 14:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: The bridge is 1 cart wide...
[2024/06/30 14:30] Mecha: Shall we cross the bridge?
[2024/06/30 14:31] Sapphire: How long is the bridge, and what's right after it?
[2024/06/30 14:31] Kylie: Continues the rest of the way across the bridge
[2024/06/30 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: about 20 feet, the river is only small, then, the logging camp buildings and the crude fortifications are in front.
[2024/06/30 14:32] Sapphire: crude meaning a wooden palisade square-fort with no towers?
[2024/06/30 14:33] Mecha: Gonna start crossing the bridge carefully with the cart
[2024/06/30 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: crude, meaning, without care or consideration or skill
[2024/06/30 14:33] Sapphire: what can we see of it's layout?
[2024/06/30 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: From where you are and what you've seen? A log wall stacked between buildings
[2024/06/30 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: From where you are and what you've seen? A log wall stacked between buildings
[2024/06/30 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: As Mecha and Kylie cross the bridge there's a loud-ish "bang bang bang" of a wooden spoon beating a pan, and a high pitched holler of "Boys! Company! On da bridge!" Then a loud low horn being blown, by an obviously bigger creature.
[2024/06/30 14:36] Mecha: And here I thought they wouldn't notice us
[2024/06/30 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, you pitch carts over bridges into rivers and saunter out in the open....
[2024/06/30 14:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... who's going to do what?
[2024/06/30 14:38] Kylie: Yells we are friends!
[2024/06/30 14:39] Sapphire: Netty stands up, getting her bow out, double checking it's strung, and nocking an arrow while the cart carries her along, a growing smile on her face. "Can I start shooting, boss?", she asks in a quiet voice to let the louder one offer peace.
[2024/06/30 14:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... this I -got- to allow...
[2024/06/30 14:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: and I'm not even sure what the rule is here lol
[2024/06/30 14:40] Mecha: Not just yet, but stay ready in case it goes downhill.
[2024/06/30 14:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... Kylie... roll 2d6, then, take away 1. Must roll over 9.
[2024/06/30 14:41] D6: Kylie rolls 2
[2024/06/30 14:41] D6: Kylie rolls 1
[2024/06/30 14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl facepalms
[2024/06/30 14:41] Kylie: nope
[2024/06/30 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: Four hobgoblins are approaching from the walls around the camp. They hear you say you're friends, but they ain't buying it. One shouts back "Fock yew, I got axe for you!"
[2024/06/30 14:42] Kylie: looks like it is going downhill
[2024/06/30 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, why break the habit of the campaign.
[2024/06/30 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Netty, Mecha, looks like you got your answer. Everyone roll initiative, d20, highest goes first
[2024/06/30 14:43] Mecha: Oi! Fawk YOU! we aint friends all right we're here for business! Now do you want to make some money or lay there without yer heads!
[2024/06/30 14:44] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 3
[2024/06/30 14:44] Mecha: *meh it was worth a shot*
[2024/06/30 14:44] D20: Mecha rolls 8
[2024/06/30 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire, Kylie, d20 for initiative
[2024/06/30 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: The hobgoblins reactions are already bad, so... they're just going to attack
[2024/06/30 14:46] Sapphire: "Hey, my yew is monogamous!" She shouts back, drawing her arrow back, aiming it at the head of the shoulder, breathing out softly, and then loosing it.
[2024/06/30 14:46] D20: Sapphire rolls 19
[2024/06/30 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Rolling initiative... on the plus side, you almost certainly go first
[2024/06/30 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kylie, d20 for turn order
[2024/06/30 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: did we lose Kylie?
[2024/06/30 14:50] D20: Kylie rolls 8
[2024/06/30 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... Sapphire goes first of all, attacking with bow & arrow? d20
[2024/06/30 14:51] Kylie: you did briefly
[2024/06/30 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: Glad we got you back with us!
[2024/06/30 14:52] Mecha: Agreed
[2024/06/30 14:52] D20: Sapphire rolls 20
[2024/06/30 14:52] Sapphire: Straight and True
[2024/06/30 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: Some one has practiced die rolling!
[2024/06/30 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: Arrow does d6 damage
[2024/06/30 14:53] Sapphire: the trick, you see
[2024/06/30 14:53] D6: Sapphire rolls 2
[2024/06/30 14:53] Sapphire: is one and a half shots of whiskey
[2024/06/30 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: The arrow slams into a hobgoblins' chest with considerable force. He stumbles back, coughing up blood, but still raises his own bow and arrow.
[2024/06/30 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha, Kylie go at the same time - firing arrows?
[2024/06/30 14:54] Sapphire: "First blood to me!" She cheers merrily!
[2024/06/30 14:54] Kylie: Yes I fire an arrow at the same one
[2024/06/30 14:54] Mecha: how far away are they from me?
[2024/06/30 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20 to see if you hit
[2024/06/30 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: About thirty, fourty feet.
[2024/06/30 14:55] D20: Kylie rolls 12
[2024/06/30 14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kylie hits as well.... d6!
[2024/06/30 14:55] D6: Kylie rolls 1
[2024/06/30 14:55] Kylie: zoot
[2024/06/30 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: Luckily he just got critted the turn before. Now he falls flat on his back, dead.
[2024/06/30 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha?
[2024/06/30 14:59] Mecha: I shake my head."could have tried to do it business like but..." Before realizing her axe is actually a hammer and just runs at the hobs. *Not sure she can get close enough in time to attack this round*
[2024/06/30 14:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: No, but I take it you're charging at the hobgoblins?
[2024/06/30 14:59] Mecha: Yep
[2024/06/30 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... the three surviving hobgoblins see one of theirs go down, and they decide, fuck peppering you with arrows, sticking you with spears is better. They run forwards, spears ready. No attack this round but they'll be in melee with you all next round.
[2024/06/30 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Brings it back to Sapphire! You can make one attack with arrows, or close in with sword.
[2024/06/30 15:02] Sapphire: Even me, standing on the cart?
[2024/06/30 15:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: They'll close the distance in between the rounds.
[2024/06/30 15:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: wait, you're on the cart? On the other side of the river?
[2024/06/30 15:03] Sapphire: Weren't we driving the cart along the bridge?
[2024/06/30 15:03] Mecha: I brought the cart onto the bridge
[2024/06/30 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, then, cart is on bridge and hobgoblins arrive this round.
[2024/06/30 15:04] Sapphire: Might as well get in another arrow shot and maintain my high ground! She nocks another arrow and breaths carefully. "Freyja guide my arrow," and looses it at the head of the hobgoblin with the silliest-looking helmet.
[2024/06/30 15:04] Kylie swing my axe wildly at them to raise dread
[2024/06/30 15:04] D20: Sapphire rolls 19
[2024/06/30 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire is on a roll! d6
[2024/06/30 15:05] D6: Sapphire rolls 2
[2024/06/30 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: THUNK! Luckily (for the hobgoblin, not you), hobgoblin skulls are quite dense.
[2024/06/30 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha?
[2024/06/30 15:08] Mecha: Gonna try to grab one by the spear and try to fling him off the bridge
[2024/06/30 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: ....you sure you want to do that?
[2024/06/30 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: you're charging them, that's... double damage if you hit
[2024/06/30 15:08] Mecha: Yes
[2024/06/30 15:09] Mecha: Trying to bypass the if you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail mentality
[2024/06/30 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh-kay...
[2024/06/30 15:09] D20: Mecha rolls 11
[2024/06/30 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: You flip a hobgobin into the river. He gets wet.
[2024/06/30 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kylie? You have a hammer, for these nails? :)
[2024/06/30 15:10] Mecha: Any fall damage? Plus he will need time to return to the fight?
[2024/06/30 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Into water? no. And yes, he's out for the round.
[2024/06/30 15:11] Kylie: Oh i though i had a small axe
[2024/06/30 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: so you do... Sonja y Ddraig Goch has sabotaged my notes!
[2024/06/30 15:13] Mecha: *And we hear more laughing in the distance*
[2024/06/30 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: She wouldn't laugh at her best mate.
[2024/06/30 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kylie?
[2024/06/30 15:15] Kylie: I'm swinking with my axe at them
[2024/06/30 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20
[2024/06/30 15:16] D20: Kylie rolls 18
[2024/06/30 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: learning how to roll from Sapphire! d6 for damage
[2024/06/30 15:16] D6: Kylie rolls 1
[2024/06/30 15:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: You chop at a hobgoblin, and injure it. He yells in pain, but is still in the fight
[2024/06/30 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hobgoblins attack Mecha for the impromptu bath, and Kylie, because hurt one of them.
[2024/06/30 15:18] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 9
[2024/06/30 15:18] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 8
[2024/06/30 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: And that's two misses!
[2024/06/30 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: Back to Sapphire
[2024/06/30 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: BTW Sapphire, you get +1 to rolls with missiles, and +2 to rolls with melee weapons.
[2024/06/30 15:19] Sapphire: Netty whistles in the hobgoblins face as her left hand moves back to grab her sword, pulling it free and swinging her whole body into a one handed slash at his arm, ready to dip her weapon around his block.
[2024/06/30 15:19] D20: Sapphire rolls 14
[2024/06/30 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: d8 for the sword
[2024/06/30 15:20] D8: Sapphire rolls 3
[2024/06/30 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: The hobgoblin goes down in a spray of blood!
[2024/06/30 15:21] Sapphire: Netty cackles and laughs as the blood sprays!
[2024/06/30 15:21] Mecha: Time for that nail as she brings her hammer down on one of the hobgoblins still alive on tthe bridge
[2024/06/30 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha?
[2024/06/30 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20
[2024/06/30 15:21] D20: Mecha rolls 19
[2024/06/30 15:21] D6: Mecha rolls 1
[2024/06/30 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: and, d6... oh.
[2024/06/30 15:22] Mecha: turns it from a hard hit to El Kabong
[2024/06/30 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: With your great strength, even a light tap hits like a battering ram. The hobgoblin gives a shrill scream and collapses and lies still
[2024/06/30 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kylie?
[2024/06/30 15:23] Kylie: I attack again with the axe
[2024/06/30 15:23] Kylie: on the samwe one
[2024/06/30 15:23] D20: Kylie rolls 3
[2024/06/30 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: you swing wildly, and hit the air, and almost pitch yourself into the river. Almost. (Faint draconic sniggers may be heard)
[2024/06/30 15:24] D12: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6
[2024/06/30 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: The hobgoblin finally gets out of the river and takes one look at the his dead comrades. "Fuck dis!" he declares, "And fuck yew!" he turns and runs.
[2024/06/30 15:26] Sapphire: Was that the last of them?
[2024/06/30 15:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: it is!
[2024/06/30 15:26] Sapphire: "Want me to shoot the runner?" she asks, laying her sword at her feet and getting an arrow ready.
[2024/06/30 15:27] Mecha: Nah, let him run
[2024/06/30 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, you managed to deal with the outer defences.. now you got the central fortification to deal with, but, we won't start anything just yet, as I do got to be up early tomorrow
[2024/06/30 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: second session with no Sonja y Ddraig Goch... has she given up on her quest to acquire the Dreamstone?
[2024/06/30 15:29] Sapphire: "Got it boss," she answers, picking her sword back up to start wiping down the blade on the pants of the dead hobgolbin.
[2024/06/30 15:29] Mecha: Should have just slammed him back to the ground
[2024/06/30 15:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... that went... well... suspiciously well :)
[2024/06/30 15:30] Mecha: Agreed
[2024/06/30 15:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: how was it for you?
[2024/06/30 15:31] Mecha: It was fun
