    Verily, when it rains, it pours; so I'm going to be on a bit of a hiatus from this game for at least a couple of months. Hopefully things will eventually improve and I'll be able to rejoin, but until then I'll wish everyone good gaming.

    Best regards, Dexam.
    Oh dear, rough stuff. I hope all goes well and we see you again the near future.

    So, we have 2 Nuklanders who only need a small amount of sleep I believe.

    Between the two of us we should always be able to have someone up.

    I'll move you on towards the campsite at the next opportunity, unless there's anything you wish to do first.

    I don't think there is at the moment. At least not for Bjorn.

    As to camping, I think we can put two guards up almost the entire night. Between the two Nuks, one of which is up almost the entire time (and they don't need the extra rest to recharge spells I think), we can have one of them and one of the others awake at all times. Unless you have other ideas.

    Yup camping and a pair of guards sounds good. Don't want to be be ambushed by a troll!

    I guess we're going to need survival rolls to pick up the tracks. Or if I recall correctly we have a bear with us as riding animal. Maybe the bear can sniff out who we need (or at least the troll so we can evade it for now).

    If we need survival rolls and it's allowed, I'll do the 'help another' action, as my survival isn't all that good.

    @Ghostfoot: what kind of horses do we have? Are they trained in combat? Just to know if my surprise action has to be to dismount or not.

    It's the beginning of spring at the moment. Cool but not snowy. The adventure will jump forward some months at times, so I expect you'll hit winter periods from time to time.

    Light horses, not combat-trained. Northlanders tend to prize horses as too valuable to be used in combat.

    Okay, then my surprise round action is easy. Dismount and get ready for combat.
    And hopefully the dice will let me actually hit something (I don't think I've already hit something on this forum).

    Just to let you know I'll be away for a congress from Sunday until Wednesday. While I will have internet access, I probably won't have much time to check things here. So I'll be gone for a couple of days. If it becomes my turn and the troll is in range, I'll just try to hit it. The GM can roll for me if needed.

    Just to be sure, you weren't waiting for me, right?

    How about that, I might actually have hit something. That would be a first on this forum.

    Sorry I went first even though I have the worst initiative, but as I'm away the next 4 days, I thought to get my first round action in before I left so you wouldn't have to wait for me.

    First blood! Congratulations! That is indeed a hit (provided you make it past its attack of opportunity !).

    No problem on the post order. I normally say 'post in any order' if the PC's are in a group. Have amended the post to show this.

    So I think we should get they’d actions for the Charge first ... AOOs would come if the troll ran through threatened areas, right? And I’m guessing the troll is large, so if he has reach we might not get much for AOOs ... aside from our resident giantess.

    I won't get any from where I'm standing on the map. But I think I can get in there without provoking one as well, although it might be on the edge of rule abuse.
    I use my move action to go from where I'm standing (U13) to T14. That doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity if I'm right. Then I do a free action 5 foot step from T14 to T15 and if I read it correctly a 5 foot step doesn't give an attack of opportunity either.

    If you think that this is a bit too much rule abuse, just let me take the attack of opportunity for the team and the rest can move in without problem.

    Yep I make it DrK gets an AoO on it as it closes. I may have misunderstood the positioning of others so let me know if you feel aggrieved by where I've placed you.

    Normally you can't move using a move action plus perform a 5ft step in the same round. So it'd be a move action U13->T14->T15, which would provoke since it has reach. Then a standard action to hit it.

    OK, I don't have my books here right now, so no problem. I'll take it's AoO for the rest of the team. I'll probably have one of the best AC and HP of the team anyway and if he's large, he has a penalty hitting me (which reminds me, don't we get a bonus for hitting something large).

    There isn’t a bonus to hit them, but large creatures take a hit to attack and AC. Of course their increase in Str often makes the to hit penalty moot

    I hope you're not waiting for me.

    And as an FYI: from the 1st of December until the 8th I'll be out and I most likely won't be having any internet in the middle of the Red Sea on a boat.

    Great, that's a miss. Well, probably a hit that my armour deflects, but the important bit is that it doesn't do any damage.

    now everybody can pile in and we can beat the troll to death. And Bjorn will have his first story.

    Just so you know, I'll be away without internet access next week, from December 1st until the 9th. Bjorn will continue to hack away at the troll, so if needed, the GM can roll for me. For the rest he will follow.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    I'll aim to post in 1-2 days. I'm out tomorrow night, so more likely the evening after - busy time of year. Hopefully atlastrembles is back online soon.

    Apparently I have WiFi here anyway. Although they can't guarentee it the full trip, as we might go too far out of the coast to catch the signals. So while I might reply at times, it will be at irregular times (I'm here to do other stuff than reply as well).

    I should have WiFi until the end of the trip, but I might not be on much. It's difficult if your in a boat on choppy seas.
