I apologize for this weekend, but my internet is out and I am typing this at work. I won't be able to get your game started back up until this coming weekend hopefully. Sorry.

That's OK, I was at the computer wondering, "shouldn't I be checking something?" I had completely forgotten to check here for updates.

I'm so relieved I didn't miss anything.

Maximus takes another swing at the wolf he's adjacent to, marking it with combat challenge if it survives

*(Combat Challenge for Fighters is a Free Action, whenever that wolf decides to attack the Guard it will receive a -2 penalty. You can switch your Combat Challenge at any time to another enemy, but you only get one Combat Challenge at a time. You could have used Combat Challenge and another attack power as a Free Action does not count against your actions you can take on a combat turn. However, I will have to use just a Basic Attack this turn. You will receive a +2 attack modifier for flanking the wolf between you and the guard.)

Maximus HITS easily

Guards attack Wolves:HIT,HIT,Move and MISS,MISS,HIT

BlackBlade Goblin makes Double Time and moves adjacent to his Leader

Goblin Warrior moves position and attacks Brem with a Javelin throw and HITS

Sergeant Of The Guard remains guarding Dark Dragon, but he is distracted from watching the battle.

Maximus rushes in to save the poor Guard that is almost being ripped to shreds. As Maximus moves in with his Two Handed sword held high, the wolf is too busy with its prey to notice the huge Genasi advanced behind it. Maximus finds and easy mark as he slices into the wolf's hind quarters. The wolf spins around nipping at its back leg as if it had been bitten by something that is yet still there. As the wolf turns its attention away from the prone Guard, the Guardsman quickly gets to his feet and runs his sword all the way through the wolf's neck and severing it's spine. One of the wolves is now dead.

The Guard breathes heavy and gives Maximus a look of thanks as he is too tired and wounded to speak at the moment. Maximus nods towards his ally and prepares to find another enemy to attack.

The next Guardsmen that is next to Sheyla is able to get to his feet again and stab one of the wolves across one of its front legs. The wound draws blood but the wolf acts as if it didn't feel a thing. As the Guard attacks another Guard moves in to help his comrade, but the wolf was aware of the movement and is able to skulk just underneath the Guardsman's sword blow.

Another Guard is fighting a Goblin, but the Goblin easily rolls past the Guards attack. The Goblin snickers at the Guard and prepares an attack with a short sword and moves it's position for a better strike.

The other Guard that is surrounded by Wolves is able to scramble back to his feet and slice part of a wolf's ear off. The wolf shakes its head in pain and then begins to snarl at the Guard that just attacked it.

The Shaman Goblin barks orders at his band of thugs and the Goblin with the tattoos slinks quickly away from combat to guard its leader. It quickly hops to its leaders side. Meanwhile, the tougher looking Goblin with a bunch of throwing spears has picked up his position and moved a bit closer to his leader, likewise. As it settles itself in its new position, it quickly finds an opportunity to throw a javelin at Bremm. Bremm, however, is a bit too slow and the javelin sticks deep into his shoulder. Bremm grimaces in pain but does not say a word, as Thugs need to show how tough they are, otherwise, they do not get the respect they deserve on the street.

As the battle wages, Kurt the Sergeant holds a sword close to Lancing's neck, but he seems a bit distracted at the chaos that is brewing on the battlefield. He is taking count of the battle and is determining if a full out retreat is in order...however, the Sergeant plans to leave Lancing tied to the tree to be run through by the band of little monsters. Dark Dragon knows this full well.

Cheezus, Cackle, and Dark Dragon are next up to take actions.

Here is Dark Dragon's Character Sheet:

Cheezus takes a shot at the nearest wolf.

He urges Kurt:

Let the Dark Dragon join the fight!

[tzor]

Hmmm, let me see my options, I am ... Mr. Mediocre. I do have a good chance of slipping out of my bonds in ... let's see ... 60 combat rounds ... or I have a FLAT NO WAY CHANCE of doing it in one.

"I would pay attention to him, Kurt, if I were you. Releasing me is your best option at the moment."

[CreepersWiener]

Cheezus takes a shot at the nearest wolf.

He urges Kurt:

Let the Dark Dragon join the fight!

Hmmm, let me see my options, I am ... Mr. Mediocre. I do have a good chance of slipping out of my bonds in ... let's see ... 60 combat rounds ... or I have a FLAT NO WAY CHANCE of doing it in one.

"I would pay attention to him, Kurt, if I were you. Releasing me is your best option at the moment."

Cheezus Attacks a Wolf and just HITS. Goblin attacks Cheezus as an Opportunity Attack and HITS for 4 HP DAMAGE.

Cackle fires another Probing Attack against the Hexer Goblin but HITS the Warrior Goblin instead for 11 HP and may gain a +1 Bonus to an attack roll against the Goblin Warrior on Cackle's next turn. Cackle Saves vs Magic Fails.

DarkDragon makes a Diplomacy Check DC 20 with help from Cheezus with a +2 Bonus FAILS

Cheezus' Elven perceptions has allowed him to observe the real threat. He knows full well what a pack of wolves can do, Goblins are dangerous but only secondary to a large pack of wolves. Cheezus ignores the Goblin in front of him and turns quickly to take aim at a wolf that is adjacent to him. The shot glances across the wolves back cutting it's hide, but Cheezus has failed to make a kill shot. The wolf still persists after its prey.

Meanwhile, as Cheezus lowered his defenses to make the shot, the little Goblin steps forward and sticks the point of his short sword into Cheezus' thigh. Cheezus winces in pain and turns his attention towards the Goblin that just stabbed him. As Cheezus holds the wound on his leg, he yells at The Sergeant of the Guard to let Dark Dragon go to help with the battle. The Sergeant glances Cheezus' way as if he is starting to contemplate doing so.

Cackle reaches down to the ground and finds a nicely weighted sling stone and loads his sling. He takes careful aim at the Goblin Shaman and let's the stone fly towards its mark. The stone flies true, but before it hits the Goblin Shaman, he waves the Bone Rod through the air and the stone is deflected by some invisible force. However, the stone strikes the tougher looking Goblin with all the spears. The stone leaves a nice gash across the Warrior's forehead, and deep blackish red blood begins to ooze down the Goblin's face. Cackle impresses himself with his shot, but he is still wondering what that Shaman did to him?

The Sergeant stands with his sword pointed at Dark Dragon's neck as he remains helplessly tied to the tree. Dark Dragon sees Kurt's contemplations and tries his luck in persuading the Sergeant to let him go.

"What?...I can't trust the likes of you! You'll put a knife in my back as soon as we enter into the battle! We cannot risk a Githarian Assassin being freed!"the Sergeant refuses to cut Dark Dragon loose, but does not strike him this time as he is more interested in how the battle is coming around.

Sharpshooter Goblins Attack Guards Hits and Misses
Brem moves and attacks a Goblin with his Club MISSES, Goblin shifts position and Attacks with a HIT, Brem is Bloodied.
Hexer Casts Spell at Cackle: Vexing Cloud Cackle now takes -2 penalty
Sheyla attacks Wolf and HITS, Sheyla also makes a Diplomacy Check to convince Kurt to let Dark Dragon go and FAILS

Two Goblins are hiding behind some boulders and are firing their crossbows at the guards. One of the guards is struck in the shoulder, while another Guard is aware enough to dodge out of the way of the whizzing projectile. Some Goblin curses can be heard coming from behind the rocks, but the Snipers remain well hidden from sight.

"I kill you, you little green BASTARDS!"Brem yells angrily as he swings with his club, hoping to splatter some Goblin brains; but the Goblin is far too quick for Brem's lumbering blow and it quickly hops behind him and sticks him in the back with its short sword. Brem yells in pain as he must fall to one knee and try to recoup his strength. The wound is severe and Brem can feel the warmth of his life's blood spilling down his back. The little Goblin begins to snicker at his dirty handy work.

As Cackle starts looking for another stone to throw, the Goblin Shaman whispers Goblin words of power and waves his Bone Rod in Cackle's direction again. A thicker purplish mist begins to form around him and obscures his vision.

"Haha! Foolish Man! You have now angered the Guardian Spirits of the Clan of Daggers! Enjoy your DEATH!"the Shaman yells at Cackle in Goblin and then begins to give orders to his Goblin allies.

"Ah! Help me! HELP ME!"a Guardsman screams as three wolves are trying to rip him apart.

"Don't worry! I might not be a trained soldier, but I am handy with a spear!"Sheyla comforts the Guardsman and swings her spear at the nearest wolf. The spear tip pokes into the wolves side, but it is deflected by a bone and doesn't deal a death blow to the savage creature.

"Damn you, Kurt! Let Lancing go so that we don't all perish!"Sheyla tries to convince the Sergeant to let Dark Dragon out of his bonds to help fight off these monsters.

"Shutup! King Fyrsdane's Guards do not take orders from Wytches! I am no WarWytch of Hellsblade, I am the King's Guard. I give the orders here, not some spear wielding Wytch!"the Sergeant replies and still refuses to free Dark Dragon.

The Sergeant stands with his sword pointed at Dark Dragon's neck as he remains helplessly tied to the tree. Dark Dragon sees Kurt's contemplations and tries his luck in persuading the Sergeant to let him go.

"What?...I can't trust the likes of you! You'll put a knife in my back as soon as we enter into the battle! We cannot risk a Githarian Assassin being freed!"the Sergeant refuses to cut Dark Dragon loose, but does not strike him this time as he is more interested in how the battle is coming around.

Dark Dragon resisted the temptation to smile. Stabing the sergeant in the back was the last thing on his mind; watching the wolves tear the arrogant idiot to shreads was more of what he considered appropriate. Still, not knowing offhand how many guards it took to state the appetite of a wolf, or the anger of the goblins, he would rather be in the fight than watching it from a front seat row.

[Jace22]

I know of this great d&d site, if you guys are interested. It's called dndonlinegames.com and it is pretty fun. I'm on as silverjace, so check it out if you want

[safariguy5]

I'll fire my Force Orb at one of the wolves that surround the guardsman to the North of the Campfire. I'll also yell at that Guardsman to free the Dark Dragon.

[CreepersWiener]

I quit...

[tzor]

I quit...

What? You can't quit! I'm still tied to a tree!

[CreepersWiener]

Nobody seems to want to play anymore, and Jace wants us to go to DnD Online forums...I would rather stay here, but I am having a hard time keeping people interested.

[safariguy5]

I'm still interested...although this online forum thing intrigues me...

[Jace22]

i'm still for playing here. I only mentioned dndonlinegames as it is a site that I used and I thought that others would be interested in it as well.

[CreepersWiener]

i'm still for playing here. I only mentioned dndonlinegames as it is a site that I used and I thought that others would be interested in it as well.

They play 3.5 and I am not familiar with 3.5. I am 1st E and 2nd E old school, but I have really grown to like 4E. I don't think DnDOnline carries any 4E character sheets and stuff, it is strictly set up for 3.5 play.

not true, they have 4E games as well(in fact the beginner's game is between 3.5 and 4E) and when creating a new character there is an option for 4E character sheets. They just don't have a link to a 4E srd(as I don't believe there is one). Plus, I have seen a couple of games in the older 2nd E.

[CreepersWiener]

Is it possible to get this game started again? I don't know. Please msg me, and I will put the effort into getting the campaign back on track.

[safariguy5]

Oops, wrong thread, I'm down here.

[Victor Sullivan]

And now I don't feel excluded I'll play. We playing 4th ed. rules? I haven't played DnD on the computer/Internet before, so I might need some guidance.

-Sully

[Quirk]

I'm down like a clown Charlie Brown.

Cheezus readies his bow.

[Jace22]

I'm not really up for it(and I deleted my character sheet), so sully can replace me

[safariguy5]

I'm not really up for it(and I deleted my character sheet), so sully can replace me

Yeah, I'll need my character sheet resent. Didn't keep it.

[Commander9]

I might be interested.
