Narrator: Warned by a raven about a spy, Connell walked into a grove across the stream.
Narrator: Then something jumped on him!
GM: Everyone is surprised. (duh). Roll Fear to recover. You can act on the turn you recover. Combat Reflexes gives an additional +2.

Hammer: k
GM: You can act next turn, though.
Hammer: roll HT too?
GM: Keep the roll.
GM: Roll HT for?

Hammer: Im feeling better...
GM: In case you guys were wondering.
 4) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Panther 
(on deck: [26] Connell) 
Lenia: I was actually just about to ask.
Animals: Gnaw on Connell as a free action [2d6+1] => [6,2,1] = (9) cutting. Emit disease.
Narrator: The dark shape emits a sickly green cloud as it bites into Connell.
Connell: "Ow!"
GM: Connell needs to roll HT against the major wound he just took, and also rolls HT-2 or take 1d-1 (cyclic toxic airborne) damage.
Hammer: "Quick, the beast has mistaken Connell for a mate!"
Berkun: "No! Look at the foul fume! This is no normal animal but a devilish beast like before!"
Mrugnak: "Bad kitty!"
Mordreona: "That would be better than the fishing for gators.""
Connell: HT [3d6.skill(14,0)] => [5,3,5] = 13 vs (14) or less Success! by 1 vs Major Wound. [3d6.skill(14,-2)] => [5,1,3] = 9 vs (12) or less Success! by 3 vs disease.

Berkun: [1d6+6] => [2,6] = (8) impaling
GM: Connell, Dodge at -4?
Hammer: "I feel your pain Connell"
Mordreona: "See I'm sure I can do that too if I get an x-bow."
Connell: Dodge [3d6.skill(9,-4)] => [3,6,1] = 10 vs (5) or less Failure! by 5 
Mordreona: ((I'm sure I blew my stealth with all the talking.))
Connell: That puts me into the negative... Consciousness: [3d6.skill(14,0)] => [4,4,2] = 10 vs (14) or less Success! by 4 
Narrator: Berkun looses an arrow into the beast's heart, but it pulls up on Connell's torso, and the arrow penetrates him instead.
Connell: "OW! What the... you SHOT me?!"
GM: Didn't you take a Major wound, too?
Lenia: ((Connell's DR is... 5?))
Connell: (( Mail shirt +1 -> 5 ))

(on deck: [28] Panther) 
Hammer: Run and Jump
GM: Your move is 7. What the heck?
Hammer: I dropped my pack, no encumbrance
GM: Your move is 7. You just moved 14 hexes. What the heck?
Hammer: OK, how far can I run and jump in one turn?
GM: A total of your move.
Hammer: ok I run
GM: Thank you.
 4) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Panther 
(on deck: [26] Connell)

Berkun: "I thought he just gone to take a piss there...?"
Hammer: "Awwwww"
 6) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Mrugnak 
(on deck: [24] Lenia) 
Berkun: "Alive and walking?"
Lenia: "Just alive."
Hammer: "Save me a leg, Berkun"
Mrugnak: I moved my full move last turn. If I keep running, does that count as a running jump for this turn?
GM: Certainly!
GM: Maximum movement is your Move, split between the jump and any running.
Mrugnak: Moved 4!
Mrugnak: Jumping! DX 13 - [11/2.0] => 5.5 yards jump!
Mrugnak: So 4 yards this turn, the rest next turn.
Mrugnak: It looks like he lands in the water next turn!
Mrugnak: ***
GM: Bad ass. Make a DX-3 roll, as your jumping off while on the edge of the mud!
Mrugnak: DX (13) [3d6.skill(13,-3+2)] => [4,3,5] = 12 vs (12) or less Success! by 0 Bless +2
Mrugnak: Note to self, drop a point in Jumping. Diablo Barbarians are renowned for their jumping prowess.

 7) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Lenia 
(on deck: [28] Mordreona) 
Lenia: Lenia shouts words of magic and waves her staff wildly towards the creature, because she doesn't actually want to cross the creek. I have the range at 13, -2 for staff is 11. Thunderclap, +2 for shouting, +1 for gestures, -11 for range, is 10.
Lenia: Thunderclap: [3d6.skill(18,+2+1-11)] => [1,5,5] = 11 vs (10) or less Failure! by 1 
Lenia: Nothing happens. Sadly.
GM: Okay.
 1) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Mordreona 
(on deck: [28] Berkun) 
Mordreona: I move.
Mordreona: ###
 2) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Berkun 
(on deck: [28] Hammer) 
Berkun: okay, fast draw cutting [3d6] => [5,4,3] = (12)
Berkun: fast load [3d6] => [4,3,5] = (12)
Berkun: and jump over the creek
Berkun: *creek I mean
Berkun: DX [3d6.skill(15,-2)] => [4,3,2] = 9 vs (13) or less Success! by 4 
GM: Okay.
Berkun: So, with move and attack and two turns of full move before this, how far can I go?
GM: 1/2 jumping or DX/2-1
Berkun: mmm... that's 15/2=7
Berkun: so 6 of jump
Berkun: and that's all the move?
GM: Yes.
Berkun: okay, now shoot the panther in the leg
GM: Another DX-3 roll to land in the mud on the far side.
Berkun: surefooted(slippery)
Berkun: [3d6.skill(15,-3)] => [3,6,3] = 12 vs (12) or less Success! by 0 
GM: Okay, DX+2, but whatever.

Animals: Dodge dodge extra effort dodge [3d6.skill(11,2)] => [3,6,3] = 12 vs (13) or less Success! by 1 
 3) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Hammer 
(on deck: [28] Panther) 
Hammer: JUmmmmmmps
GM: Uhmm?
Berkun: Hammer, roll first!
GM: Great, DX-4 or Jumping -2 to take off while in the stream mud.
Berkun: move after you know you don't land in the water:)
Hammer: k
Hammer: Jumping (15) [3d6.skill(15,-2)] => [4,6,4] = 14 vs (13) or less Failure! by 1 
Hammer: ((Told You))
GM: ...
GM: mean or nice? [1d2] => [1] = (1)
Hammer: power slide into the drink?
Narrator: Hammer launches himself heroically into the air, easily clearing the mosquito infested stream. He smashes into Mordreona from behind, clobbering her.
Berkun: "you fall on the sleeping water elemental and it awakens angry"
Berkun: :)
Hammer: "Thanks for the breakfall, lass! Ho HOOooo!"
GM: Damage is [3d6+1] => [2,1,2,1] = (6) for Hammer, [1d6+2] => [4,2] = (6) for Mordreona, halved crushing.
Mordreona: "What the hell are you doing Hammer!"
GM: Both make DX rolls at -4 or fall over.
Mordreona: ((do I fall down?))
Mordreona: DX (15) [3d6.skill(15,-4)] => [1,4,4] = 9 vs (11) or less Success! by 2

Hammer: DX (15) [3d6.skill(15,-4)] => [5,2,5] = 12 vs (11) or less Failure! by 1

(on deck: [26] Connell) 
Animals: All-Out Dodge and Move/jump into the tree!
 5) YOUR TURN NOW:: [26] Connell 
(on deck: [24] Mrugnak) 
Mrugnak: ... how much damage did Mordy and Hammer take, compared to their max HP?
Berkun: "COWARD!"
Mrugnak: This is Important.
Mordreona: ((-3 from 13))
GM: Mordreona took 3 damage, crushing before DR. So both took 0. (Hammer's shield got hit).
Mrugnak: Oh thank god.
Mrugnak: think he's got a computer problem. He vanished from ICQ.
Mrugnak: Poked his wife.
GM: Well, he can be slightly unconscious for a round, or doing Nothing.
 6) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Mrugnak 
(on deck: [24] Lenia) 
Connell: (( Woops. ))
Mrugnak: [219+480] => 699 lbs lands apparently on Berkun!
Connell: (( Connell just tries to stand. ))
GM: Okay.
Mrugnak: DX (13) [3d6.skill(13,-3+2)] => [6,1,6] = 13 vs (12) or less Failure! by 1 Bless +2
GM: Good or bad? [1d2] => [2] = (2)
Berkun: mmm
Berkun: can't 
Berkun: i dodge
Berkun: ?
GM: Mrugnak and Berkun collide as they land [1d6-1] => [5,-1] = (4) vs [1d6-2] => [5,-2] = (3)
Mrugnak: From behind QQ
GM: He's behind you so no dodging.
Berkun: well, above...
Berkun: sort of
Berkun: :)
GM: But hey, you just need to roll DX at -4 to stay standing.
Mrugnak: DX (13) [3d6.skill(13,-4+2)] => [6,1,5] = 12 vs (11) or less Failure! by 1 Bless +2
GM: Err, -1. 'cause you're sure footed.
Berkun: [3d6.skill(15,-1)] => [6,3,2] = 11 vs (14) or less Success! by 3 
Berkun: done
Mrugnak: Weee!
Berkun: damage too?
Lenia: ((Mordy's probably should have been DX-4+4 due to Perfect Balance, but she made the roll anyway.))
GM: No, your relative speed is actually pretty low.
GM: So no damage. Just slipperiness.
 7) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Lenia 
(on deck: [28] Mordreona) 
Lenia: Fast-draw my Everfull Paut Vial and ready it for drinking if I succeed.
Fast-Draw (Potion): [3d6.skill(12,0)] => [5,5,3] = 13 vs (12) or less Failure! by 1 
Lenia: I get my everfull paut vial off my belt!
Lenia: ###
GM: You hero.
 1) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Mordreona 
(on deck: [28] Berkun) 
Mordreona: Can I move by stomping on Hammer as I go past?
Mordreona: Stomping
Lenia: ((Eh, it's got to get through the Keystone Kops before it reaches me.))
GM: Sure, stamp kick is capped at 9 on a move and attack.
Hammer: ((Nyuck Nyuck Nyuck))
Mordreona: [3d6] => [6,2,6] = (14)
Lenia: ((Or, more appropriately, I'm at half move and dodge, so advancing would be 'a full move for my one step', so I'd better get some FP back.))
Hammer: ((Wooob Wooob Wooob))
Mordreona: ###
GM: Normally, I'd look up the rules for falling after a missed stamp kick, but you do have Perfect Balance.
 2) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Berkun 
(on deck: [28] Hammer) 
Lenia: ((No falling on a missed stamp kick. Roll DX or end up 'off balance and unable to retreat' until your next turn. But she has Perfect Balance. :D))
Berkun: "Stop distracting, everyone!"
Berkun: fast draw cutting [3d6] => [6,6,6] = (18) fast load [3d6] => [1,5,5] = (11)
Lenia: Ouch.
GM: Critical failure on the fast draw.
Berkun: Berkun shouts as he tries to draw an arrow, but Mrugnak pushes him out of balance
Lenia: Critfailed a fast-draw, impressive.
GM: Your strap breaks and the quiver drops behind you.
Berkun: is that a broken arrow? cut myself with it?
Berkun: oh...
Berkun: and I end up next to the panther with no quiver
Lenia: Wow, it's normally just 'drop the arrow'. o.o
Berkun: still got three left
GM: I thought critical was "quiver spills?"
Berkun: it's a cornucopia quiver
Hammer: ((Its says...."they all get stuck in Mordy's back"))
GM: Right, I'm right. B195. You drop the entire quiver.
Mordreona: ((lol))
Berkun: it could be an interesting thaumatalogical experiment
Lenia: Yeah, wow.
 3) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Hammer 
(on deck: [28] Panther) 
Hammer: Heroic Charge
GM: On your back?
Berkun: wait, you're prone!
GM: At the panther in the tree?
Hammer: Ha
Hammer: no
Berkun: that's not particularly heroic...
Hammer: Acrobatic Stand!
GM: Let's see it.
Hammer: Acrobatics (15) [3d6.skill(15,-6)] => [6,1,4] = 11 vs (9) or less Failure! by 2 
Hammer: LUCK
Hammer: Acrobatics (15) [3d6.skill(15,-6)] => [1,2,1] = 4 vs (9) or less Critical Success! [B556]
Hammer: Ha
GM: Well, I was going to point out the penalty for doing this in the mud, but you're good.
Hammer: k
GM: That was your step. Now what?
Hammer: Can I move more?
GM: No.
Hammer: I look mean
GM: Step is not a move, move is not a step.
GM: You do that.
 4) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Panther 
(on deck: [26] Connell) 
Animals: Run along branches, jump to other branches, and generally move a lot.
 5) YOUR TURN NOW:: [26] Connell 
(on deck: [24] Mrugnak) 
Berkun: when Berkun was close to the panther, could he see it's gender?
GM: Ah? Perception check at -3.
Berkun: [3d6.skill(14,-3)] => [1,4,4] = 9 vs (11) or less Success! by 2 
GM: It's male.
** Connell leans back against a tree and looks injured. "You guys have got this, I'll just... be here for a bit..." **
GM: Roll HT or fall over.
Berkun: "Mrugnak, guard him!"
Mordreona: "I'll see to Connell, you guys just keep playing in the mud."
 6) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Mrugnak 
(on deck: [24] Lenia) 
** Mrugnak gets to his knees! **
Mrugnak: ***
 7) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Lenia 
(on deck: [28] Mordreona) 
Connell: [3d6.skill(14,0)] => [4,3,1] = 8 vs (14) or less Success! by 6 
Lenia: "Bollocks!" Drop the (still-capped) Paut vial, step south, and try another Thunderclap in the hopes that sudden deafening will knock the cat out of the tree. Range is 9 yards (I'm aiming for a hex north of it), -2 for staff, gives -7, +3 for words and gestures.
Lenia: Thunderclap: [3d6.skill(18,-7+3)] => [3,6,5] = 14 vs (14) or less Success! by 0 
Lenia: Luck.
Lenia: Thunderclap: [3d6.skill(18,-7+3)] => [5,6,6] = 17 vs (14) or less Critical Failure! [B556]
Lenia: Thunderclap: [3d6.skill(18,-7+3)] => [6,1,3] = 10 vs (14) or less Success! by 4 
Lenia: I will accept success by 4.
GM: Good plan.
GM: Page ref?
Lenia: Panther rolls HT or is deafened.
Lenia: It's not a great spell.
Animals: I'm worthy! [3d6.skill(12,0)] => [5,6,3] = 14 vs (12) or less Failure! by 2 
Lenia: M171
Animals: Yowls in pain and confusion.
Lenia: But alas, does not fall out of the tree. 
Lenia: ###
GM: However, since it has Perfect Balance, merely losing hearing is not enough to knock it out of a tree.
 1) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Mordreona 
(on deck: [28] Berkun) 
Mordreona: I run to connell.
Hammer: ((Inner ear trauma?))
Berkun: (does Berkun hear the thunderclap?)
Mordreona: ###
Lenia: Everything hears the thunderclap.
GM: But only the panther is effected.
 2) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Berkun 
(on deck: [28] Hammer) 
Berkun: uh... so no need to roll for fear of loud noises?
GM: Oh, no, people who are afraid of loud noises just heard a loud noise.
GM: Could be the start of some kind of creepy evil magic evil screaming.
GM: second evil should be eagle, but whatever...
Hammer: don't get him started
Berkun: okay, mild fear...
Berkun: that's at no modifier?
GM: Resist with a 15 or less.
GM: -1 on DX and IQ if you resist.
Berkun: [3d6.skill(15,0)] => [5,1,5] = 11 vs (15) or less Success! by 4 
Berkun: okay
Berkun: and no matter what, Berkun runs after it
Berkun: fast draw blunt [3d6] => [3,5,6] = (14)
Berkun: fast load [3d6] => [1,6,5] = (12)
Berkun: (thanks)
Berkun: (wasn't sure if 
Berkun: (if I gone too far or not)
Berkun: -4 for range
Berkun: unless it's high enough to give more?
GM: -6, it's up 4 yards already.
Berkun: aim at the crotch[3d6.skill(18,2-3-6)] => [1,4,6] = 11 vs (11) or less Success! by 0 
Berkun: and let it dodge...
GM: Cover penalty is -4 at least.
Berkun: ah
Berkun: sucks
GM: You miss.
 3) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Hammer 
(on deck: [28] Panther) 
Hammer: run after kitty
GM: Folks, you can't run through trees.
GM: These are physical objects and stuff.
 4) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Panther 
(on deck: [26] Connell) 
Animals: Keep moving, opening up the range at 7-8 yards per second.
 5) YOUR TURN NOW:: [26] Connell 
(on deck: [24] Mrugnak) 
Lenia: "I don't think we can catch it, and I don't think running after it alone is safe. Come on back to camp, we'll tend to Connell."
** Connell blinks blearily at Mordreona as she comes up, "Are you worried about me? That's cute. Really. I think." (( HT [3d6.skill(14,0)] => [4,2,6] = 12 vs (14) or less Success! by 2 )) **
Berkun: "No wait, I 've got an idea!"
GM: You don't need to roll if you Do Nothing.
Mrugnak: (( Sigh. And Mrugnak gets +3 vs diseases. ))
** Connell just works one remaining standing. **
Connell: (( Ah. I Do Nothing. ))
Berkun: Can Berkun use Naturalist to know if a panther is likely to attack if Berkun pretends he tripped and is helpless?
GM: Sure!
Mordreona: ((nice plan))
 6) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Mrugnak 
(on deck: [24] Lenia) 
Berkun: [3d6.skill(11,2-1)] => [6,6,4] = 16 vs (12) or less Failure! by 4 
Berkun: Berkun doesn't know
GM: Apparently you're not familiar with panthers.
Hammer: ((I pretend I'm Connell))
** Mrugnak stands up and draws one of his throwing axes! **
Mrugnak: ***
 7) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Lenia 
(on deck: [28] Mordreona) 
Lenia: Step back, drop to crouching, and look for that vial I dropped. I can't catch up to the panther without Hawk Flight. >.>
GM: Good point.
Lenia: ###
GM: At this point, I'm just going to fiat that the panther is getting away.
GM: Giving that it has an ungodly stealth, knows the swamp better than you guys, and doesn't want to get caught.
Berkun: likely...
** Mordreona tries to stop connell's bleeding. "Do not get all misty, it's just better than running after that cat." **
Mordreona: First Aid/TL3 (Human) (13) [3d6.skill(13,0)] => [6,6,3] = 15 vs (13) or less Failure! by 2 
Berkun: Berkun goes back to take his quiver
Berkun: "Damnable... fangless tiger"
GM: Mordreona bandages Connell for 1 point of damage.
GM: Err, 1 point of healing.
Mordreona: "See thats better."
Mordreona: ((I failed my roll))
GM: Yes, the scrapes and bruises are entirely covered. The large gaping holes, not so much, but you got the scrapes.
Connell: "You've just been waiting for an opportunity to get your hands all over me, admit it."
** Mordreona picks up connell and takes him to camp. **
Lenia: ((Isn't Mordreona kind of small?))
** Mrugnak probably ends up taking Connell from Mordreona :D **
Mordreona: ((a 13 st))
Hammer: "She may be in the mood, maybe she thought I was mounting her earlier?"
Hammer: Jumping (15) [3d6.skill(15,-2)] => [2,4,4] = 10 vs (13) or less Success! by 3 
Hammer: pish
** Mordreona here take him Mrugnak. **
GM: So what's the plan now?
Mordreona: "I think I'll cook for hammer next time we camp."
Lenia: Rest up. Heal Connell. Break camp. Move on, assuming Connell was able to get some directions for the raven before he got distracted and bechewed.
Mordreona: get Connell to camp and healed while we keep a look out for more bad kittys.
Hammer: "Mmmmmm"
GM: How are you healing him?
Lenia: Trying to remember what I've used on him today and how many times. :P
GM: 0.
GM: This is like 2 days after the Conjuction, you've been lazing in camp.
Mrugnak: Trying to reset those healing penalties, deliberately!
Mrugnak: So we don't end the day rolling at -6 all the time.
Lenia: Major Healing: [3d6.skill(17,-5+3+2)] => [6,3,2] = 11 vs (17) or less Success! by 6 - -5 for reduced FP cost 2, +3 for shouting and waving arms and stuff, +2 for extra time because 10 seconds for a healing spell is okay.
Lenia: 2 FP for 8 HP.
Connell: "At least we didn't kill it. So - where's Lenia and those magic hands?"
GM: That puts him at, uhm, -4 or so?
Connell: 1/11
Mordreona: "May I ask, what was it?"
Lenia: Major Healing: [3d6.skill(17,-5+3+2-3)] => [3,3,2] = 8 vs (14) or less Success! by 6 and [3d6.skill(17,-5+3+2-6)] => [6,5,3] = 14 vs (11) or less Failure! by 3 to do it twice more.
GM: Taint -3. Critical failure!
Mordreona: "Berkun, that was a nice shot. You almost got him."
Mordreona: "Looks like Lenia may finish him off."
** Hammer stifles laughter **
Narrator: Lenia chants and whispers. Connell's wounds heal, then suddenly turn black.
GM: Damage is [3d6-3] => [1,4,3,-3] = (5)
Hammer: "Don't forget my thrilling heroics!"
Connell: "That's much - ow! What are you doing?"
GM: Connell is now at 4/11.
** Lenia looks at her hands in horror, then stares at Connell. "I'm not entirely sure." **
Connell: (( Self-healing is at -3? ))
Lenia: ((Penalty equal to HP of damage suffered.))
Connell: (( Yikes, nevermind. ))
Lenia: "I could try again, but... I'm not sure it's a good idea."
** Mordreona smiles "Don't worry Hammer I'll make you a nice meal as a reward for your heroics." **
Berkun: "Almost is never good enough..."
Berkun: Oh, you mean Connell!
Berkun: Berkun sighs
Berkun: "Yeah, I kind of assumed he'd be trying to wrestle the panther down..."
** Mordreona laughs at Berkun. **
Hammer: "Would have been better if you hadn't jumped in front of me, but I'll accept that as an apology"
** Mrugnak sniffs at the black. "Dat bad. We got cut dat off." **
Mordreona: "I agree Mrugnak, that is the best plan of action."
** Connell waves Mrugnak away, "It'll be fine. Probably. It's just this swamp, it messes with healing magic." **
Hammer: ((Paging Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Mrugnak...))
** Mordreona pulls a sword. **
** Lenia looks substantially more cheerful. "Yeah! The swamp! That's it!" **
Mordreona: "Don't worry connell, this will not hurt me a bit."
Mrugnak: (( Connell, I suggest ducking. and or running. ))
** Connell looks at Lenia, "You're going to stop her, right? ... Someone?" **
** Mrugnak catches Mordreona's sword hand. "Not dat. You gots make it hot inna fire first." **
** Mordreona moves closer to Connell. **
Mordreona: " You are so wise my hairy friend, thats even better."
Mrugnak: "Like, hot so it go red, cuz dat like good meat, yas?"
** Mordreona moves to the fire. ((assuming we have one.)) **
Lenia: "Nobody is cutting anything off of Connell."
** Lenia mutters, "Unless gelding him would calm him down a little." **
Mrugnak: (( protip - Mrugnak's got a high HT from NATURAL SELECTION :D ))
Connell: "Thank you."
Mordreona: "But Mr said..."
Mrugnak: (( I'm so big, she calls me Mister! ))
Connell: "You'd hate that as much as I would."
** Mordreona points at Mrugnak. **
Mordreona: (( I forgot to hit the tab key while typing))
Mrugnak: (( I like my version better. ))
Mordreona: "Will that "cat" be back."
Lenia: What time is it? Game-time, that is.
Berkun: "Not sure, it might be back at nightfall..."
Mrugnak: "Ok ok. No cut bad bit off. Connell go all black an stinky, an den you cut bit off. Fine."
GM: About 10 am?
Lenia: "Connell, can you travel? Or should we try more healing?"
Lenia: "And did you get anything useful out of that raven?
** Mrugnak scolds Connell. "You too tiny. You no fite bad kitty kay? Leave dat fer big guys." **
Hammer: "I have a potion"
Berkun: '
Mordreona: "Oh, more healing for sure, it worked so well last time."
Berkun: "I've got a potion also..."
Berkun: "Did it tear any important parts?"
Connell: "I can probably move. As long as I don't disturb any more panther nests."
Mordreona: "What were you doing over there anyway?"
Connell: "The raven said something about the druid's 'buddy' being over here. I assumed he was making a joke. Ravens like jokes."
Connell: "Just... not complicated ones."
Lenia: "Are we sure this druid is friendly? That stuff the panther was spewing didn't look healthy. Or natural."
Hammer: "I don't like birds"
Connell: "I don't know. Maybe he got corrupted by the swamp. There's no telling what would happen to someone trapped here long enough."
Mordreona: "I almost forgot you listen talk to the birds. How could that have slipped my mind?"
** Lenia gives Connell a look. "Heh, yeah, no telling." She moves away to start breaking down her tent. **
Mrugnak: one sec cat on my head.
Hammer: -4 grappled
Mrugnak: OK, improved(?) to hanging off my shirt
** Connell stands up, leaning on his staff a bit, "Well, I got the info I needed, we can go find out. We ready?" **
Lenia: So, we break camp and let Connell navigate?
Mordreona: "Sure lets go."
Mrugnak: "Still gots black bits. You walk Ok?"
Mordreona: "Want me to carry you stuff Connell?"
Hammer: ((as long as he doesn't say "walk this way"))
** Connell rethinks letting the thief handle his stuff. "No, I'll be fine." He starts plotting a route through the swamp. **
Connell: (( Just Navigation?
GM: Did you have some other plan?
Mordreona: ((did you get my whisper mark?))
Berkun: Berkun can assist with navigation of course
** Mordreona smiles "I thought Hammer was helping too." **
Connell: (( Hm, I apparently don't even have navigation.
Hammer: "I could see farther if I was on your back like before, Mordy"
** Mrugnak has Navigation! **
Mrugnak: Well.
Mrugnak: Mrugnak has Barbarian!
Mordreona: " I think you can do it from the ground."
Mrugnak: I think Berkun might be a better choice though.
Hammer: "I sorta liked it though"
GM: Who's leading, who is helping?
Berkun: is Berkun still afraid of the noise?
Berkun: probably not...
GM: No, it's got quiet.
Berkun: helping Connellnavigation [3d6.skill(12,2)] => [6,6,6] = 18 vs (14) or less Critical Failure! [B556]
Berkun: wow
Mordreona: ((Do I have any of my booze left?))
Berkun: "Connell, I saw this place when I was flying back then... so I kind of know where we are..."
Mrugnak: I don't' think Connell is actually doing the Navigating.
Mrugnak: So I think You're Navigating.
Berkun: "And huh, we sure gone a long way in that short time!"
GM: No, Mordreona, you're out.
Mrugnak: God help us all.
Connell: (( I'm probably going to cast Pathfinder if the PDF ever loads.
Hammer: "Lovely day for a stroll..."
Mordreona: (( Have we broken camp yet?))
GM: Well, Berkun is leading off. You guys wonder off in the swamp as Berkun confidently leads you to the druid's home, which he claims he saw from the air.
Connell: (( In theory, yes.
** Connell attempts to correct Berkun. (( IQ [3d6.skill(14,0)] => [6,5,2] = 13 vs (14) or less Success! by 1 )) **
** Hammer wonders if Lenia healed Berkun's memory **
Connell: (( That's not going to do it. ))
Berkun: "Right here, we need to get between these hills..."
Berkun: Berkun leads others into a deep, muddy valley
Berkun: "It's the shortest route..."
Berkun: "Even if we'll have to wade trough this mud for a few minutes... ugh..."
Berkun: "Just have Mrugnak carry whatever you don't want to get dirty..."
Connell: "Okay, stop. I can go scout by air and find the actual way back."
Berkun: "This is the way back..."
Berkun: "We just have to wade trough this mire, but there should be a way up just a bit farther..."
GM: Hang on a second, please.
Mordreona: While chewing on some plant I approach Hammer." Hay man chew on some of this and then swallow it. It will help keep the bugs away and give you a pick me up. Don't tell the other I could only find enough for two."
Mordreona: "It taste bad but works good."
Mrugnak: (( Mrugnak's got a bug repellent amulet anyways. ))
Hammer: ((what's the roll for: total fool?))
Mrugnak: (( as does Connell? ))
Mordreona: Fast-Talk (13) [3d6.skill(13,0)] => [1,5,4] = 10 vs (13) or less Success! by 3 Conditional: +1 from 'Charisma' when making Influence rolls
GM: Hammer resists with Will.
Hammer: Will (10) [3d6.skill(10,0)] => [3,6,3] = 12 vs (10) or less Failure! by 2 
Hammer: "Thanks!"
Hammer: "Not so bad..."
Narrator: You walk through the swamp, finding yourself moving along another shallow creek.
Mordreona: "Just keep it between us my friend."
GM: Arrange your tokens as you please.
Berkun: "Huh, something just touched my leg..."
GM: But in that general vicinity and marching order.
GM: Hammer, roll HT-1.
Hammer: HT (13) [3d6.skill(13,-1)] => [3,1,6] = 10 vs (12) or less Success! by 2 
Mordreona: "well it wasn't me Berkun."
Mrugnak: (( there's good ))
Narrator: Suddenly, Hammer steps across a tripwire.

GM: Connell takes [2d6] => [5,2] = (7) cutting, too
Lenia: DR applies?
Mrugnak: (( Normally I'd ask for a per roll to spot traps, but crit failures are suck :D ))
GM: Yes.
Berkun: "So we're in place..."
Berkun: "Since no one would put blades just in the middle of wilderness."
Hammer: "I can find traps....see?"
Lenia: Hey, no Major Wound.
Lenia: Just -8 shock. >.>
GM: What are folks doing?
Mrugnak: (( checking peoples HP percentages! ))
Berkun: Berkun crouches and scans the surroundings carefully
Lenia: You're rolling for me, certainly.
Mrugnak: Did anyone take over 1/4 other than Lenia?
Mordreona: Looking around for an ambush
Lenia: Lenia screams and flails at the blades with her staff.
Hammer: Check the spikes for blackness
Mrugnak: Hammer?
GM: Hammer did.

GM: You're in a swamp, Berkun. People are moving towards you, problem from across the stream.
GM: And Mrugnak is surprisingly calm.
Hammer: ((Zen Master))
Mrugnak: "Mrugnak not like dis."
Lenia: Mrugnak achieves a Zen state.
Berkun: "Okay, people coming..."

Berkun: okay, just wait and observe
Berkun: and listen...
Berkun: and be wary of them coming from the side, too
** Mrugnak tiptoes to the side of the path, not being a complete idiot. **
GM: Who didn't make Stealth checks by 6 or more?
Mrugnak: Oh, me!
Lenia: Lenia didn't make one at all!

GM: Anyone else?

Lenia: Consciousness?: [3d6.skill(12,0)] => [1,1,6] = 8 vs (12) or less Success! by 4 
Mrugnak: Can you mark the area where they're shooting from somehow? I don't' know where it is.

Lenia: She's fragile.
** Connell incants a spell from his hidey-spot crouched in the bushes. (( Healing Lenia, -2 for range. [3d6.skill(16,-2)] => [6,1,3] = 10 vs (14) or less Success! by 4 4FP -> 8HP )) **

Lenia: No, the archer drew an arrow.
Hammer: i know
GM: Connell, what are you doing?
Lenia: I was confused. :D
Mrugnak: Please duck.
Mrugnak: Fall over even!
Lenia: I think he's still AFK dealing with strange furnace noises.
Lenia: I think it's a safe bet he dodges, possibly dodging and dropping.
Connell: (( Actually, now I lost something...
Lenia: Aha!
GM: ACT. Please.
Connell: But yes. Dodge and drop. [3d6.skill(9,+2)] => [6,6,5] = 17 vs (11) or less Critical Failure! [B556]

GM: Yes, and it's a perception based trap roll at -5 since you're in a hurry.
Mrugnak: at the start of the line.
Lenia: Your 'perception/traps' implied 'perception or traps'.
Mrugnak: Oooooh, thought you were asking for per OR traps.

Lenia: Any other modifiers I should know about?
GM: Staff spell doesn't effect missile spells, only regular and area.
Lenia: The missile's on the end of my staff.
GM: Other than that, you're good.

Bandit Blade resists [3d6.skill(13,0)] => [4,6,5] = 15 vs (13) or less Failure! by 2 
Lenia: Also, (and sorry again, Berkun) that was a loud noise. >.>
Narrator: The ball of energy explodes on the bandit, sending him to the ground. His companions shudder and scream.

(on deck: [24] Lenia) 
Mrugnak: (( So does Mrugnak actually. ))
Connell: (( You can probably take him out of the init order. ))

Lenia: ((It's why I didn't move farther.))
** Mrugnak charges the unstunned Bandit 8! **
GM: Mud, water, etc etc etc?
Connell: (( Or the taint will make you critfail and Lenia will murder him. Behold the price of your power! ))

GM: Are you jumping off in the mud or landing in it?

Lenia: And things were going so well.
GM: Near side? Far side? [1d2] => [1] = (1)
Mrugnak: "Hup!" *SPLASH*
GM: You ready to jump and clear the river and brain somebody, which means you don't quite see the moss coated rock.
GM: DX-4 again.
Mrugnak: DX (13) [3d6.skill(13,-4+2)] => [1,2,6] = 9 vs (11) or less Success! by 2 Bless +2
