New Heroes Arise OOC (Re-Recruitment done)

[Jemal]

Welcome back Duder, I was contemplating what to do about you, but I'm glad I don't have to do anything. I'ld like it if you could read the whole thread, but here's a quick run-down:

The city you live in has for the past few years been under constant attacks from Orcs, the last one being just a few days ago. Because of all the orc attacks (And the expected attempted invasion) the majority of experienced warriors, wizards, etc, have either perished in battle or left for the borderlands (Which, btw, are only a few days ride away) to fight off the orcs.
This means that you guys are basically the biggest fish in the tank right now.

Over the last month, there's been NO sunlight b/c a storm of ever-increasing intensity has moved in, and appears to be getting bigger (covering more area away from you) on a nearly daily basis. Master William (A wizard of good repute, who lives in a Tower in the city, and is a member of the cities Ruling council) has discovered that the source is not exactly natural... An evil, abandoned temple about 50 miles away is the cause of it... some sort of evil, ancient ritual made to destroy the world has been set off by.. well, you don't exactly know. SO, he's asked the group of you to investigate and, if possible, attempt to put an end to the ritual. His chief aid (An elven lady named Rocheleen) Is going to lead you there tommorow shortly before daybreak, and he'll remain using his magics to trick the populace (Which he beleives includes one or more spies for the orcs) into thinking you're spending a lot of time at his tower.

Should be easy to pick up from the spot they're at.

It's been a week since we heard from him. Is the IC thread paused right now until Duder works his way in? Last time I checked, everyone else had already chimed in about what they'd do for the evening until bed, so I'm not sure what we're waiting on.

 

[Jemal]

well, I was going to wait a few days for Duder, but I think I waited a bit too long. Well, we'll have you guys leave on your own then, now. If/when he shows up again I might get him back in somehow, or not, depending on what u guys think.

 

[Thels]

It's no use if he just posts once every 2 weeks or so. Maybe if he could explain his absense and can tell he'll be more active, we could give it a shot though.

 

[shaff]

either way is fine with me.

I would like to have him back on board but would be wary of doing so at this stage without some kind of commitment to posting regularly.

Action in IC

Jemal

When we attempt something IC, do you want us to note skills and feats that we think relevant or do you have that all in hand?

Either way is fine with me. I'm quite happy not to be posting numbers and stuff.

 

[Jemal]

I'ld like it if you could post in OOC after the post, and put the relevant numbers/skills/feats (Don't bother going into much detail, like HOW you got it like that, just the final). I know some people don't like posting lotsa numbers, but it makes it much quicker for me to do stuff if you do. If you forget, I'll still be able to do it, so don't worry too much.

Okay, here goes:

Dana's attacks:
Attacks: Hooves +6, Hooves +6, Bite +1
Damage: Hooves 1d6+4, Hooves 1d6+4, Bite 1d4+2

Deirdre's attack:
Bastard Sword, To Hit +5, Dmg 1d10+3, Crit 19-20/x2, Medium, Slashing, 10lb

Dana might be wary to attack an undead, but she's trained to attack unnatural creatures and is within an aura of courage, so I'm hoping Deirdre can get her to attack anyhow. I need to make a Ride check (+8) against DC 10 for Deirdre to be able to attack herself (95% chance ).

I have mounted combat, so if Dana gets hit, I can make a ride check against the zombie's to hit check to negate the attack (1/round), which for the sake of convenience I will always use on the first hit Dana receives.

EDIT: Bruin: Riding horses on the sight of undead? Should be obvious.
