Topic: Continuing Where We Last Left Off Again Subject: pinned in
Try as they might, it would seem that the party would be unable to avoid traps, ambush, and deception. Indeed, it would seem that someone had thrown these ratmen to their deaths with the sole purpose of reusing them as so much canon fodder. Even in undeath, they should be no great threat... but they would continue to soak the spells and blows of the companions, and might score a lucky hit.
Arien had a terrible feeling that the enemy could afford to throw a vast array of attackers at the companions, while they themselves might slowly fall to attrition.
The knight shook his head to clear the maudlin thoughts. "Defensive formation!" he called. "They come on two fronts!"
For now, Arien would focus on the undead ratmen, for they were the more immediate threat, and the knight feared to leave a hole at the party's rear. However, he longed to engage the creatures of ice, for whom Liun'nair would sure prove to be a fearsome bane.
Either way, he mused, there will be chance enough for more battle than any sane man should care to stomach.

You're always part of this family. We'd love to see more of you, but regardless, it's great to see you whenever we can.
Two kids? Psh, rookie. I'm at six now.

Topic: Continuing Where We Last Left Off Again Subject: what else to do?
Arien frowns at the situation. The entire thing screams trap, ambush, death... but then again, what about this infernal place didn't?
Careful to give Maximus full leeway to act as a scout/trap springer, Arien followed at what felt like a judicious distance. Far enough to hopefully avoid being affected by any traps the thief might spring, but close enough to come to his comrade's aid in the event of an ambush.
OOC: sword and shield at the ready. As muscle, there's not much else for Arien to do at this point.

Scott played him as a pretty typical, gruff dwarven soldier. Kadrin is a general, so I'd guess he's something of a tactician... aside from that? I say you're golden.

I thought I posted the day of your last post? Was I dreaming?
It would seem pretty crappy if we just hang back and watch Maximus face whatever alone. That said, I think I need to see his reaction to know what Arien needs to do.
Does that make sense?

I'll have to think on this. Known traps, sprung traps, where are the new ones?

I was holding on Vanadia and Brundel, but she's had a death n the family, so I'll NPC En'Aranthea for now... I'll do the same for Blair.
Has anyone heard from him?

Topic: Continuing Where We Last Left Off Again Subject: too easy
Wererats fell like so much chaff before the blades, bows, and spells of the companions. For some reason, the old battle exhilaration that Arien so often felt seemed to elude the knight this time around. Normally, he would have worn a fierce grin, but he found himself oddly somber as their foes proved so ineffective.
"Hold off on spells we may need later. We can finish the few survivors off in close combat."
Arien heard one of his companions offer up this advice, and he concurred. "Agreed," he spoke, ignoring the stench of immolated wererat. "They seem to be little threat to us. There is little use wasting resources we will surely need later. Be vigilant, in case there are other foeas at the ready."
The knight advanced cautiously, taking care to avoid the area of effect of the spells. This encounter had the feel of a distraction, and he wanted to be ready for the real threat.

Topic: TPK as a Solution Subject: hrm
I could totally see doing a TPK in that case, but I truly hate to derail things that badly. I would likely call a pause to the adventure if they didn't want to take things seriously.

Posting continues to be slow and erratic... but we'll press on.
I'll likely move things along today or tomorrow, and send reminders to the non posters.

Yes, I'm always paranoid. That's fair.
But again. This is the Tomb of Horrors sans training wheels, according to you. So if a fight is going our way - especially in such a one sided manner - it makes me feel like we're just Thanksgiving turkeys feeling how happy we are about all of this choice grain we're eating.

Hey all,
Eol has sadly been so weighed down by real life that he is unable to post right now. As a result, Nomad D2 is assuming the role of Jarenion, our mage.
Everyone, please give the guy a warm welcome.

I think that I do, Vesper. I'm digging it all out.
I think I have one more player I'm waiting on. It looks like Eol won't be with us after all - at least, not to start with. Murph survived the first chapter, though, so he could rejoin us at any point.
