so, besides the boy running away, is there anything of interest in my field of vision (360 degrees of it)? That house the boy came out of.... is there anything important about it that I should note?

The house is a bit run-down, and looks as though it hasn't been occupied for at least 6 months. The fields and road you're on are kind of your regular brand of tall grass and gravel road.

is there anything that I can use with arms reach as an improvised weapon? chair, table, broom, etc?

the not-dusty umbrella stand by the door. (which is behind you now)

..... reading this adventure and look forward to more as everyone gets involved in the role play!

Taking the Initiative has been posted and I look forward with great anticipation to the Gladiator Scenes!

I think that's enough for tonight... wow, a lot has happened.

Well, I'd better get some sleep before I lose all capability to post tomorrow!

Later!
Reralae

..... get a good sleep!

I am over here 7 hours ahead of Detroit/New York/Atlanta and Toronto times ... so I will just be patient ... but it was a pleasant surprise to see such interaction already!

..... doing a Great Job of hosting her first adventure!

Am So Glad I Signed On!

..... the Main Office and the Chamber where Manalagna Hammer will prepare for the battle:

Any particular descriptions I need to know about in either place and anyone in particular I will meet, such as a helper?

The office is a rather plain, small building tacked onto the side of the arena, maybe in comparison to real-life it could be considered like a slightly enlarged cubicle of an office building.

As for the chamber, it too is rather plain, but I'll describe that when you get there.

..... written out my next post and hit the refresh button for some reason and lost the entire message!

So I have written a short form of what I originally had written with the questions without the actions and commentary in between!

A number of my posts have fallen victim to a mistakenly pressed button (more often the back button however) so I have sympathy for you, o ye mighty instrument of impaling nails into wood.

..... sorting through some of my equipment while waiting for an update to my previous post in AoD ... I am trying to figure out just what exactly these do?

Rhino Hide -5165 gp

Druid Vestments: (Wild shape +1 /day) 5,800

+1 Flaming Scimitar (8,000)

+1 Mouldering quarterstaff (16,000)

Caster’s Shield (currently have Cure Light Wounds on it) (+1653)

Ring of Sustenance (2500)

Amulet of Natural Armour +2 (8,000)

I need some answers so I can send Manalagna Hammer out to do battle with Xira as the sands of time are slipping away!

This is the information I have on the items you listed

Rhino Hide: +2 Hide Armour (mastercraft hide armour with +2 more AC), doubles damage dealt by the wearer in a charge

+1 Flaming Scimitar: +1 Scimitar (mastercraft scimitar with +1 damage), with an ability to do 1d6 additional fire damage requiring a command word to activate

+1 Mouldering Quarterstaff: +1 Quarterstaff (mastercraft quarterstaff with +1 damage), which on a successful hit causes a poison-type effect (CON damage requiring fort save by person hit)

Caster's Shield: +1 light wooden shield (mastercraft light wooden shield with +1 AC), also lets you cast a scroll you put on it without having to rumage through your pack and such

Ring of Sustenance: keeps you alive without need of food/water and you only need a bit of sleep (just leave it as is)

Amulet of Natural Armour: +2 Natural armour... kind of self explanatory (adds to AC)

Really, the only thing you need to decide is whether you're using your scimitar or quarterstaff. (or borrow a non-magical weapon or something)

..... been posted and I will be adding another update with what Manalagna Hammer is taking with him to the battle against Xira!

I must find my list and then write another post in regards to this info because I had copied and pasted your previous post and if I tried to go to the PM page I would have lost what I had written ... and I have already been down that road one too many times!
