Urge to shoot one in the leg out of spite..rising.....RISING....

I agree with DocD that he should take these mixed up fellows to the local authorities. That is unless Coop wants to hurt the evil doers in a special way.

/OOC Welcome, GrandMof

I will wait for the responses to the last questions before I agree or disagree to the decision, especially seeing as I am not within earshot to hear it

The party continues to interrogate both sides...

Piecing together the stories you have, you make the determination that Markus was in on the theft with the Evil Torpins and reneged on splitting the take with them. He gathered the others in the guise of simple travel, hoping they would be sufficient to defend him.

Final Analysis:
Evil Torpins and Markus are the ones responsible for the theft while their companions on both sides were duped into the battle.

Friends, I agree with the idea of sending the guilty parties in the custody of the non-responsible officer of the law back to town with [DocD's character]. As far as I am concerned, we have already determined the guilty parties and are in the right to carry out the harshest penalties available. Innocents were dragged into this mess and have died because of their greed, but we will leave that in the hands of Torpin's men.

In the mean time, welcome, woodsman. We appreciate your willingness to accompany us north to deal with the orc incursion.

I agree with the monk, lets send these criminals on and get started. Are you all traveling by foot? And did you check these dead fellows for coin yet?

/occ I'll be limited to checking this thread from work as the internet has been down at my apt since Friday. I should have the home internet fixed by Wed.

Hyena · Post by **Hyena** » Tue Jun 05, 2007 5:33 am

I approach Markus armed with the knowledge of what has happened and demand that he turn over the stolen property.

It will most likely go better for you if you turn over the goods as a token of good faith. The city watch will know of both the theft *and* the bribery of one of their guards, and they will not be pleased with either.

/ooc I'll be out of town Thursday - Monday, if anything happens that needs my input in that time any of the other players can speak for me.

Grafvolluth · Post by **Grafvolluth** » Tue Jun 05, 2007 1:45 pm

/ooc GrandMof, I am mounted, I think a couple of others are riding in the wagons we are escorting. No we haven't looted yet. We are waiting for Starsky & Hutch there.

coopasonic · Post by **coopasonic** » Tue Jun 05, 2007 2:43 pm

I thought it would be a bit unkind to pilfer the bodies while their companions watch.

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 12:27 am

The Paladin and his charges head off to town to seek justice and sort out the truth of the matter.

The Torpin bodies are taken by their companions.

The Couriers agree to help the Paladin guard the Traitor and his Cohorts.

Grafvolluth · Post by **Grafvolluth** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 8:16 am

When everyone is mounted up and upon wagon again I will resume my scouting position.

These weapons aren't delivering themselves.

GrandMof · Post by **GrandMof** » Fri Jun 08, 2007 3:17 pm

Anyone have a preference on where I ride? I have keen ears and eyes and was thinking of either bringing up the rear or staying up front with Allanon.

Hyena · Post by **Hyena** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 3:04 pm

Might as well stay back and rear guard. Specially since we probably pissed off one of the princes of this country, he might send some retaliation troops up our tailpipe.

Companions, thank you for your time in that matter. It was a situation that needed to be sorted out, and I believe we handled it fairly and firmly. Now let us continue our journey if everything is in order.

I want to check the carts over once more before we leave to see if anything went amiss in our absence.

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 8:19 pm

Jerrod is resting on the Barrels on Alpha Wagon chewing on a strap of leather nervously but seems greatly relieved to see you.

Derek pokes his head out from behind the Long Wooden Boxes of Beta Wagon.

Yngma is snoozing contentedly with Charlie Wagon, the Netting and Small Boxes seem undisturbed

Sepha calls a thankful hail from her vantage point nearby and rides to meet up with you.

GrandMof · Post by **GrandMof** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 12:02 am

I'll bring up the rear then, cross bow ready and keeping an eye on whats going on behind us.

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Sun Jun 17, 2007 12:59 am

Please refresh the Marching Order and Travel Plans

Grafvolluth · Post by **Grafvolluth** » Mon Jun 18, 2007 9:08 am

Johan and I will take up scouting to the front again.

coopasonic · Post by **coopasonic** » Mon Jun 18, 2007 9:43 am

I'll hop on the rear wagon again assuming Hammer is riding up front.

GrandMof · Post by **GrandMof** » Mon Jun 18, 2007 11:32 am

I'll do the same as I previously posted.

Hyena · Post by **Hyena** » Mon Jun 18, 2007 12:58 pm

Yes, I'll be in the front wagon with Jerrod, if that's where we were.

Keeping a sharp eye to either side of us for ambushes and getting more info about the surrounding area from my wagon driver about creatures in the area, rumors of interesting features of the surrounding lands, etc. assuming that he has been driving caravans in this region for a while?

**Edit: Man, it pays to actually read better before posting, don't it?

coopasonic · Post by **coopasonic** » Mon Jun 18, 2007 1:39 pm

Allanon/Grafvolluth is scouting in the front. Gideon/GrandMof in watching the rear.

I'm on the back wagon. Hammer/Hyena is on the front wagon. Middle wagon has the driver alone.

Once we get a bit further there are some wetlands with a wooden bridge. There are stories of ruins sunk into them, with a golden hoard lost to time, of course. Mostly bugs and stink from my view.

Grafvolluth · Post by **Grafvolluth** » Tue Jun 19, 2007 4:15 pm

A bunch of tall tales for childrun', my word has been given and I will deliver these weapons as promised

/ooc If we are at a loss for something to do this could prove interesting in the future, I mean who would want to miss a chance of getting swamp fever.

I make a mental note of any possible landmarks in the area for further adventures if we survive the current one.

GrandMof · Post by **GrandMof** » Tue Jun 19, 2007 11:00 pm

Yes this does look like an interesting spot to return to after we deliever these goods.

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Wed Jun 20, 2007 7:11 am

The caravan approaches the fetid wetlands as dusk draws nigh... the scent of marsh gas is pervasive and the horses are besieged by all manner of insect.

Grafvolluth · Post by **Grafvolluth** » Wed Jun 20, 2007 11:49 am

I'd like to take make a Knowledge:Nature check , looking for a solution to repel the insects.

Take a 10 for a 15 total

Also I begin to wonder how far these wetlands stretch, and if traveling thru them in the evening or even attempting to camp in them would be a very good idea?

There are plants that can be used to create a poultice that repels small insects.

Sepha approaches you nervously and suggests riding through before camping would be best.

Grafvolluth · Post by **Grafvolluth** » Thu Jun 21, 2007 9:27 am

Okay I will attempt to collect enough of the leaf to give man and animals minimal protection. (If this will delay us for more than say 30 minutes I will skip it)

Hopefully that will keep those nasty biters off. I also suggest that we press forward at a hard pace, we don't want to be caught in these wetlands when night falls

Basically I want to travel at a 'Hustle', it will put a burden on the animals (lethal damage after the first hour) but I am guessing that what may lay in wait for us is probably worse and we can tend to the animals once out of possible danger.

GrandMof · Post by **GrandMof** » Sun Jun 24, 2007 7:01 pm

Did we make it through the wet lands before night fall?

Hustle

A character can hustle for 1 hour without a problem. Hustling for a second hour in between sleep cycles deals 1 point of nonlethal damage, and each additional hour deals twice the damage taken during the previous hour of hustling. A character who takes any nonlethal damage from hustling becomes fatigued.

A fatigued character can’t run or charge and takes a penalty of -2 to Strength and Dexterity. Eliminating the nonlethal damage also eliminates the fatigue.

Hustle 4 miles

You will make it through with two extra hours travel at hustle.
You will be traveling in the dark for the last hour.

Random Nasty Encounter Eightball says...

...No battles before camp, try again later.

Resting during the night will Heal the Single Point to the Animals.

Grafvolluth · Post by **Grafvolluth** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 8:53 am

I would like to spend the evening tending to the animals, rubbing/brushing them down and making sure they get lots of clear cool water and a good meal in reward for all that hard work.

/ooc God I am such a tree hugging hippy, that wasn't my intention it just sort of happened

coopasonic · Post by **coopasonic** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 9:50 am

I'll take the first or last watch... it takes me half a day to get in and out of this plate... so I only want to do it once.

Hyena · Post by **Hyena** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 10:43 pm

I'll take middle watch. I don't need to worry about spells or armor or anything else.

GrandMof · Post by **GrandMof** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 11:05 pm

I can take the morning watch if that is the only one left.

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 12:36 am

Middle Watch give me a Listen and Spot

Hyena · Post by **Hyena** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 1:24 pm

Listen= 23 (19+4)
Spot= 13 (9+4)

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Thu Jun 28, 2007 2:01 am

You are positive you hear voices in the night, but cannot make out what they are saying.
