I pick up Althior's gem and give it to Luke. Althior can give his permission because talking is a free action.

QM better allow that!

Does anyone want to try and mine gems?

Jeez, what is going funky with your stats, I didn't add anything? Who are you asking??? You could certainly try to find away.

We could have the sage do the same thing for the West wall. We'll have an uncrossable moat! Then are archers can just pick them off.

Leo vs. Raider B- Damage Benji vs. Raider B- Shield Alisha vs. Man-at-arms Special Daxus vs. Applies Venom Monk Prezel vs. Raider A- Damage Eric Godwinson- KO’ed Leo charges he shield wall, but the fortress of muscle stabs him for 3 damage/ Benji fires off three shots, but each hit the wooden and iron shield. Alisha charges, but a viking roars a cry so ferociously, that half the party is AFRAID. Daxus wisely applies venom. Monk Pretzel, from the back thankfully, takes 5 damage from a stab. And the enemy still has another round of the shield wall.

Alex plants 1 fire bomb under the bridge. (Althior stopped me from planting them before.)

I like the wide river idea, but why not take it further?? If we could push the river edge right up to the wall, we could be like a mythical city called Venice. Althior, is your ether up to it?

Sloop, I saw your latest post in the hall. Do you play chess often any chance? I'd be looking to challenge you when done from my quest.

Alexandre le Chevalier asks the cook if any more eggs were layed, or if they have any glass containers with a top. He then searches the pantry for spices.

"Catapult with spices? I don't think that work well.... it would have to hit directly in their eyes. On the other hand, if we have eggs left or a glass case, we could make Black Eggs. We fill the egg with spices and throw them at close range. It would go into their face and the shrapnel and spices would blind them." Alexandre suggests.

Regarding getting off the bridge, someone may throw a smoke bomb to escape if they really want... Also, palatharic forgot his action. And Daxus has 8 health and 21 gold.

21 gold???? Who's stats are you looking at? Also, will you apply venom or take a potion, you can only do one.

No, I'll look for Finnegan, I'm not needed as much, you've got all the ideas. Alexandre then runs to the barracks in search of Althior's friend.

Leo vs. Raider B- Special Benji vs. Man-at-arms- Miss Alisha vs. Raider B- Special Daxus vs. Raider A- Shield Monk Prezel vs. Raider A- Critical Hit Eric Godwinson vs. Raider A- Damage Leo starts across the flimsy bridge, when suddenly, a viking shouts, "Shield Wall!" The end of the bridge is suddenly a wall of shield and pike. Benji fires at a man reforming, but he's too late, and hits the shield. Alisha lunges at the wall, to push it back, but another Shield Wall is in effect. Daxus realizes brute force won't work. So he does an overhead lunge over the rim of the shields. The raider raises his shield up, but that blocks his vision! Daxus suddenly reaches under and robs the raider of gold! Monk Pretzel then whacks his cross at the dumbfounded viking, and hits him square in the head. Eric Godwinson charges his former brethren with his axe. But as you would expect from someone beat up by a peasant with a knife, is stabbed. and falls unconscious. He falls to the planks and the bridge suddenly shakes. Much more of this, the party thinks, the bridge will collapse in five minutes... and into the icy river below...

I think the poury and rocky things were on each of the main towers.

Hopefully that's not a reply to: "He's not an elf with a boyfriend already on the Quest." Some might not get the above.

"You happen to forget I'm an elf too. We can fool them with my diplomacy. Surprise is the most powerful weapon. We could even see what equipment and numbers they have. Right now, we're completely in the dark." Know your enemy, and know yourself, and in 100 battles, you'll never be in peril. EDIT: Just realized, we could use the fire bombs to cause more damage before the attack to burn them down.

I bury my last two firebombs by the West and East wall. "Arthur, I like that plan! Or if Althior thinks that's too risky, we could hide in the forest, and ambush them when they are already busy with the defenders."

That brickbuilt horse is amazing! And the big tree is very nice. As for the border/base, how did you manage that circular shape?

"Victory! Sir Althior, the only useful thing to me is a potion, fire bomb, or gold. I already have fire bombs, and I have a shield, so a potion wouldn't matter. I request some gold."

When did you say you were traveling??? I thought you were dead.

"I don't know anything about Staugh Castle, except the front gate is broken. You can walk right in. Let's go," says Eric. "Yes, let's hurry. I'll stay in the back." says Cleric Wulf. And the heroes journey to Staugh Castle.... "We have to cross this stream to get to the main bridge." reports Cleric Wulf. But the small bridge is guarded by a War Band, to delay pursuers. PREPARE FOR BATTLE! "Eric, it looks like you." "Shut up."

Don't you mean I'm right? I was the first one to say gold doesn't rust. EDIT: Oohh.... in Eubric, I see. But then it would have a completely different chemical makeup, and therefor wouldn't be gold.

Eric Godwinson smiles. "Shall we go rescue those hostages at Staugh Castle?"
