The Farmers are still just simple farmers they have no plans to construct any new buildings at this time but who knows what the growing season will bring us. We have not seen any signs of the bandits yet but that does not mean they will not attack tomorrow or a month from now. As far as the cave system. We will be working on a way to install a good sturdy door on it to keep out others.
With the searching for tracks and other things you will need to include rolls. The cat did not see or hear anything from its position in the wagon. Edited: KNtoran on 29th Apr, 2016 - 1:15am
Krusten you will still do normal spot and search rolls for you hawk. I will take into account its better sight and view from above. But on the same token it does not communicate with you very well.
As the party heads out north no one sees anything that could be a possible track from the bandits. So far nothing is out of the ordinary. The Ranger will stay out front moving slowly and making sure to watch for anything large moving recently through the area.
The rest of the day passes withoutseeing any signs of the bandits. You are only a full day north of town and still mostly in gentle rolling hills with some trees around.
Krusten your hawk circled twice both times for game. It brought you two rabbits. The ranger was able to kill a couple more. The ranger says that it may be a couple more days before you get far enough to the north to where the bandits may be more active.
Out of Character: Avan can buy a water skin at this time for a nice modest 5 gold. Take it leave it.
In Character: The night passes quietly. The day arrives and you all set about heading north some more. The ranger is leading the way with Zork not far behind him. The hawk is flying ahead too. IT is getting closer to midday when the ranger notices the hawk is circling ahead of you. The ranger tells Zork that something does not feel right to him.
Looking to Zork the ranger says, "I do not think it is the bandits but something else. The area is too quiet and something is amiss." As he says this six orcs suddenly come out of the trees ahead of you and head your way. They are well armed and they have bows at the ready.
The area around you is still rolling hills. The roadway you were following to the north was heading up a small hill and into a patch of woods on both sides. It is a small area of woods and does not extend much past the top of the hill. This is where the Orcs are now.
Zork and Albrecht turn and head back towards the wagon. The Ranger backs towards the wagon as he pulls his bow and starts to fire arrows. The orcs fire arrows at the fleeing party. The wagon master begins to turn the wagon so it is broadside to the orcs. At this time Krusten stands up and fires an arrow at a orc hitting it and killing it with one shot. The orcs miss their targets. Avan is unable to attack as the wagon is turning. The ranger hits and injures one of the orcs.
Second Round another Orc is shot and killed by Krusten. The other orcs seeing her at the wagon take to targeting her as she is obviously the most dangerous to them. They slowly advance while firing.
I will need Initiative rolls from all except Krusten plus attack rolls and damage rolls.
Out of Character: Had everyone roll initiative even if not in combat in case combat does get to them. Just in case.
In Character: Zork and Albrecht make it back to the wagon and set up to defend the wagon. Krusten is missed again by the orcs as they are down two because of her. The ranger is able to shoot the one he hit again felling him leaving three.
Round three Krusten shoots and hits another killing him. (When the arrows hit the orcs they are knocking them off their feet and sending them backwards a bit before they land dead.) Avan now that the wagon is in place hits one for 7 damage. The ranger hits another one for 5 damage. The two orcs fire One hitting Krusten for seven damage.
They are not close enough for melee yet so Zork and Albrecht stand ready.
Round four Krusten shoots and kills another one leaving one left. Avan misses with his shot while the Ranger hits the last one who was injured killing him.
You do not see any other orcs alive nor do you hear any. The ranger heads over to begin searching the bodies to make sure they are dead.
Searching the dead orcs you will find each has a falchion plus long bows with 20 arrows. They are wearing studded leather. The have 3 gold and 7 silver each. There are no gems or jewelry found on them. The ranger tells you it looks like a small hunting party that may just happen to have been in the area.
