The party does have the posts from an old fence that they made be able to utilize...

Olinn decides to use the posts to tie the tripwire to.

Olinn ties the rope around two posts, leaving about 3 feet (bricks) of rope in between.

The posts are 1x1 bricks big and 10 plates high.

QM Note: I'll get a picture of what the area looks like to give you more will to try to do this.

For 'the matrix'?

His jocular term for not being able to visualize what he was told by god that he sees.

(OoC: Sorry, I was just referring to "QM Note: I'll get a picture of what the area looks like to give you more will to try to do this." No pressure. :blush: )

Sylph wanders over to the fence and tests the strength of the boards, wondering how sturdy are these boards. "If these boards are breakable enough, we can make a pit-fall trap and cover it with gravel/hay/whatever is covering the path.

Sylph tests out the strength of the boards. After leaning on the boards with more and more force, the board breaks and sylph falls down. The boards are relatively sturdy, but breakable. You remember that digging holes was something of a problem and that you were able to only dig about 3 plates deep.

"I'd like to use my shovel to dig a hole. And if that doesn't work, I'd like to ask Hoke to use his diplomacy on the hole. Because all holes listen to reason, right?" :look:

Tomas digs, and digs, and digs, and digs... He is able to dig 5 plates deep when his shovel hits rock. After a silly face, Hoke walks over to the hole and uses diplomacy. It doesn't work... :laugh:

"Well, I kind of doubt that 5 plates (or is it 8 now? :look:) is a drop big enough to kill one of the 'pests'." :sceptic: "Is it possible there's a giant-shovel-thingy or something we missed because we didn't explore much? That happens when you don't explore things." :look:

Silly folks, they think that talking to rocks in the ground will help... default_hmpf.gif

Guys, those werewolves will be here VERY soon, we need to hurry, I think the only thing left, is to surprise the ambushers, and make SURE there is no place for them to hide.

Speaking of time, the party hears some yipping, barking, and howling of animals not a far ways away. The hole is only 5 plates deep.

"I think you'd better hurry, them wolves sound real close."

Tomas looks around for a 'giant-shovel-thingy or something' and doesn't find anything of any importance. If the party wants to build any contraption, they will need to do it now.

I use my pickax on the rock. I use it heavily with all my strength and as quickly and quietly as possible. I ask one of my team-mates to form sharp stakes/caltrops which I place point up in the hole. Then I cover it with boards which I cover with dirt and what not. I clear the excess dirt and rock to avoid suspicion. I stockpile some of the larger rocks in case we need them for improvised weapons.

Hoke stands watching, hands on hips, shaking his head.

"We can just fight the things."

Nah, that is too easy. default_laugh_new.gif

Actually, I personally would like to just fight them head to head with my new handcannon.... default_devg1.gif

After trying their best to work quickly and quietly, Sylph's pick-axe make a loud sound and a crash of rock. The rock has a chunk break off, and Sylph hears some of the wolves coming near. He takes some of the boards and places them over the trap after the party makes some stakes. The ground does look a little fishy, being about 1 plate off the ground, but it is getting dark and perhaps their enemies notice, hopefully the party would... Would the party like to make some sort of rigging to set off the trap? Perhaps a bomb?

Hoke tosses in a fire bomb.

"Here. I've heard these beasts fear fire."

I will remove from inventory if it successfully goes off.

As Hoke tosses in the fire bomb, the yips and howls get louder until two direwolve pups enter the scene. Tomas remebers his scuffle in his first quest with direwolves, but this time there were only two, protecting him from any effects caused by the direwolves!

Hoke smiles as the giant canines lope their way.

"Ranged fighters, I suggest you hop up on the rock formation as we rougher types stand in front."

Hoke slides Vintul from its sheath and stands in front of the rock formation.

"Here puppy puppy," Hoke whistles.

Hoke attacks A from the front row.

For all MISS rolls, I would like to enchant Vintul. For all SHIELD rolls, please use whatever element does the most damage, if possible. Thanks! (Hope I get a lot of MISS rolls!) :laugh:

All damage taken on the large rock will be halved, but the direwolves may attack at close range, making ranged attacks melee attacks.

The party does have a wagon...

"Only two direwolves? Hah! Back in my day, direwolves came in packs of three (at least, I think they did :look:)!"

"I will cast lightning at Direwolf Pup B from the back row!"
