Vindsval's glare softens slightly in response to the youngling's pain. There are times when the men who fight on all sides are valiant men young night, Free from the petty whims of their overlords, tyrants, or employers. We have yet to see where any of the leaders lay in terms of bad or good.

I fear these men would not now give us the chance to back down. A rash decision forced us into this, and we must now finish it. They are indeed in the right, their gods will reward them for their valor.

Vindsval watches as what should have been a simple negotiation turns into an attack by a group of thugs and degrades into a full on battle. Zo, if you are to survive this journey you are going to need to find a change of clothing. Get to the back and heal yourself. Everyone else, pick a partner and be ready to dance. Ignore the first two guards until we even the odds. Captain Grayson, the Third guard is yours. If we are forced to kill these men, then do it quickly. He takes a firmer grip on his sword and begins what once would have been a prayer, but now seems to be more of a chant of war. His pupils narrow to fine black points in a sea of blood, with a roar he charges the Jailer. Vindsval attacks the Jailer from the Front Row with Ludeas. On a hit he swears an Oath of Retribution Commander Grayson Attacks Guard Three From the Back Row with Longsword. Battle Order Vindsval Grayson Petaldan Ezeran Matthias Addok-Zo

No problem Sandy, we will do what we can. Any chance someone could mail you a hard drive you could copy the Heroica images onto en-mass? I would be willing but Finland is a bit out of my postal code.

Petaldan attacks the Guard from the Back row with Slimy Sword.

Master Zo, We need to end this quickly. Press your attack, dont worry about the mead now.

Fool wizard. There was no need for that. Now this man must die for your showboating. Grayson, Attack with me from the front. Finish this quickly.

Unhand that Crumpet Round 1 Karie Unleashes a devastatingly powerful song, somehow physically slicing into all members of the Tea Party. Kiray trips on a discarded saucer and only manages a light slice at her target. Siercon finally shows the true might of the Battlemage. He first slashes at all of the animals with his spear, then burns them with an immense fireball. When the smoke clears three cats lay dead and every other creature burns and screams. Distracted by the display of power, Cedric finds himself open to an attack from the Dryads. Vines shoot forth, piercing his skin and injecting a vile poison.

Well Megablocks, I have run into a problem Gentlemen. All of the Character Class Images are now showing as Photobucket "you have exceeded your quota" dials. I do not have them saved to anywhere. I cannot run the round. Does anyone have the character sheets saved and can email them to me?

Photobucket, come on what are they thinking? We seem to be a little over the barrel here folks. Everything that was hosted on a free Photobucket account is now blocked from viewing.

Ok so maybe I exaggerated the questions a little.

That is what I thought, but I wanted to make sure.

I know it has been hotly debated, but I cant find any answers. Does using a bomb count as Targeting in regards to free hits?

Vindsval looks down at the tiny man hiding behind the tiny bush, not sure how he expected two to fit behind it, let along all of them. He rolls his eyes and speaks quietly the to highstrung knight. If you wish to free your contact without raising the alarm, perhaps our best bet is stealth. A smoke bomb would hide our passage, but may be noticed. Perhaps one of us could stun the guard or put him to sleep with a spell. Or perhaps draw his attention away for a time with a Bone.

He looks speculatively at the box of Grenades, curious about what they might be, but heeds Traci's advice. If there is nothing left to say, we should find your man.

The Sweet Smell of apple blossoms drifts on the breeze as the heroes approach. Tinkles of laughter and growls of pleasure can be heard as the party interrupts what appears to be the strangest picnic any of them have ever seen. Dainty cups, slim plates, and tiny pastries fly everywhere as the woodland creatures leap to their feet and glare at the intruders.

Lucas, you are on teh cusp of becoming your own man. I will not lie to you and say there is always another way, but when one draws his blade first he is setting the Path. Then let us find this Commander Grayson. Vindsval turns to his companions. Before we set out, let us see that we are equipped. Do I carry anything that would benefit any of you? While he waits for an answer from his party Vindsval Scans the room searching for useful and beneficial equipment or gear.

Vindsval glares down at the mayor. You would have me help you kill an old man in cold blood and begin a civil war, over the possibility of further aggression? You ask much William. Cold and arrogant the Den family was, but I saw no evidence of them being killers. I will not deny you may blade in defense of your families, but you will need to show me evidence that they have become the would be tyrants that you claim before I will sneak into an old man's home and strike him down as he sleeps. Lucas, what do you have to add to Master William's account?

I am starting to feel that way. Between the lag, the freeze, and working on an 11 inch laptop. It gets harder by the minute. I normally work from a word document that I cut and paste from. Running rounds directly on the website is hard, especially on a little scree.

NOTE: thanks, I think I have all of the mistakes now. Sorry for the errors. I am on vacation using a borrowed laptop and dial up speed internet. It has been interesting.

Kiray was not marked as knocked out at the end of round 9. A hen was added at the end of round nine, not at 7 or 8. It was a copy and paste error in round 7, and it wasnt listed in round 8. No hen was added either of those rounds. I believe Kint raising Kiray a second time was just a mistake and it was changed. A hen was added in round 9, nut a hen also ran off in round nine and the mod was damaged. AS far as I can tell the mob and all players are at their correct numbers. I will be running the round shortly as soon as I find my Mouse. I hate trying to do it with a track pad switching back and forth between screens.

Vindsval knuckles his forehead and bow low in respect to the mayor. Mayor William it is good to see you again. Though it would seem that we never meet under peaceful circumstances. He then extends a hand to the woman introduced as Traci and then again to the man Jackson. Well Met. If Mistress Annie had a hand in your training I will gladly place my life in your hands. Finally he turns to the once boy, now young man. LUKE LAD!!! It does my heard well to see you. Though perhaps I can call you lad no longer. You have changed as much as I since our last meeting. When introductions are done I would hear your tale. Mayor, Luke, Traci, Jackson, allow me to introduce my companions. He point to each hero in turn. Matthias, Petaldan, Addok-Zo, and Ezaran. We offer our blades, spells, and masteries to you in service to the Island. Now please. Tell us what it was that caused you to call upon the hall once more?

Ineed Mathias? Where?
