Qiviel:Yes, taking horses away :)
Ted:i'll go with Q
Simon N. (GM):GM: Qiviel & Ted take the horses to D'Ashe
Qiviel:phew :D
Kenny - Syrus:OOC didn't manage to catchup on the IC thread but know you have all made plans -pls so let me know if there are specific things that Syrus can help with when the time comes1
Malied:hi again
Simon N. (GM):GM: If you are still wanting to dig pits and set traps and such please place your tokens where you are working
Malied:note to self, do not try to play Roll20 while dwnloading several GB of music -.-

Erasmus:"Do we start close and work out from the hold, or start away and move in?"
Simon N. (GM):The weather is cloudy/overcast but dry.
Geoff:Norrin will start building the Cheval de frises to block the roadway.
Malied:In terms of combat? best to have picket lines and fall back as the battle continues
Qiviel:Q is digging wolf holes wherever indicated by the plan
Geoff:Let's get some of the miners out there to help dig pits. They're miners, after all....
Chris T.:Fraener keeps an eagle eye out from the battlements ready to give artillery support. It is the work of months to preparesuch works.
Ted:keep your eyes peeled for scouts dudes
Malied:Malied is guging the range for his spells
Erasmus:"The field is too large to allow that tactic Malied, however that issort of the intention. Limit their movement, and funnel them so they don't get too large a front."
Malied:gauging(s?)
Ted:(no muizz tonight?
Simon N. (GM):(Muizz might have been caught by clock change?)
Kenny - Syrus:Syrus helps with digging by casting Mage Hand to push away dug up earth (didn't really want to get his hown hands dirty)!
Erasmus:"Norrin, do you agree with this placement?"
Geoff:"That's good. Maybe another one between the rocks where Ted is, and the pond just south of there."

Geoff:Yes
Ted:I'll get up on the roof
Simon N. (GM):I take it the 4 of you are workling on the Cheval de Frise. Malied's Mage Hand doesn't help much. :)
Ted:i can see my cave from here
Geoff:Once that's done, Norrin will lend his strong back to help dig pits.
Erasmus:"Archers on the roof may have trouble hitting them while they're slowed by the outer range."
Simon N. (GM):OK after 2.5 days the 5 Cheval de Frise are completed; no sign of Orcs.
Erasmus:Plus any dwarves that wish to defend their home.
Geoff:If we slow then down enough, they may try to go around, and stumble into some other of our traps.
Malied:I'll cast a fog cloud over the pit that have been dug, it will heavily obscure the area around them, more likely to fall in
Simon N. (GM):If you want to dig some 'wolf hole' pits start marking them (no more than 1 per PC working)
Chris T.:They have the good sense to prepare defences inside too. Choke points below ground. F suggests at the room with the orange rug.
Malied:brb
Erasmus:Where is their lair? To the south, I presume?
Chris T.:To the SW I think?
Simon N. (GM):South then west
Erasmus:So the new East Road is a decoy, right?
Chris T.:It has a evil citadel m,arker on the map
Simon N. (GM):East goes down to the river & then Dwarfstead etc
Erasmus:And there are no secret entrances to the mines?
Ted:(whats the name of the place we are at?)
Malied:back
Simon N. (GM):>>And there are no secret entrances to the mines?<< Passive Insight 15, Erasmus can tell that the dwarves wouldn't tell him if there were. >:)
Erasmus:"This will be the last hole dug."
Simon N. (GM):You're at Rockwood Mine
Malied:no pits outside?
Erasmus:"Flint, if you want us to make the best defence possible, we need to know about every possible weak point."
Simon N. (GM):oh I see a giant pink one by Norrin
Malied:My mage hand will help, probbly stronger than Malid is anyway :P
Simon N. (GM):Now I see a giant orange one too.
Ted:(k thx) there's an Orc Glen is to the west. We found tracks of a demon ape going that way
Kenny - Syrus:OOC where should I put Syrus as an Archer?
Simon N. (GM):@Malied Mage Hand max carry is 10 lb so it's extremely weak
Ted:if Stohm would come up here and keep am look out with his sharp elven eyes of leeching I'll cone down and help Norrin
Geoff:Norrin is digging some wolf holes in that area. Did you want the specifc locations of them?
Erasmus:"Ted, should you and I keep watch? We're the quickest in the party, should we need to fall back at pace."
Chris T.:(Can the dwarves construct defensuive barriers e-w across the north and souith entrances to orange rug room and n-s before the pit room. If we need to fallback it will be important to know where we can defend.
Ted:Sure Erasmus - wanna get out into the trees?
Erasmus:"Does anyone have a shortbow I can borrow?"
Ted:i've got Eldred's long ow if you wanan borrow that. he wont mind :-P
Kenny - Syrus:@Erasmus you can borrow mine?
Erasmus:"I can't use a longbow, but I can shoot twice with a shortbow as opposed to only once with a crossbow."
Kenny - Syrus:ACtually I have a Crossbow Light?
Malied:"Sorry, I'm not much of a 'weapons' guy"
Chris T.:Just a couple of hand axes if they will help?
Simon N. (GM):Excavation rate - Norrin/STR 18 can do 180' square feet/day, Ted STR 19 190 sq ft, 190 STR 9 90 square feet.
Ted:(lol0
Simon N. (GM):(had to look up 1e DMG - it has a rate for 3-4 men building a giant trench over 6 weeks, scaled down from there) :)
Ted:Ted's shoulders sag "back on the chain gang it is then"
Erasmus:(If Ted is keeping watch, can he lend his gauntlets to someone else to help them do the digging?)
Geoff:Okay, so no large scale pit. Norrin will just dig some wolf holes in that area.
Chris T.:it's cubic feet we need to worry about.
Simon N. (GM):>>Can the dwarves construct defensuive barriers e-w across the north and souith entrances to orange rug room and n-s before the pit room. If we need to fallback it will be important to know where we can defend.<< You can draw out where you want them to put barriers, they'll do it if seems reasonable.
Chris T.:done,in grey
Ted:(Can Strohm go up on the tower and keep watch that seems reasonable too)
Chris T.:just three to fall back on where they can't be flanked. Have a good choke point for aoe magic and long approaches for concentrated crossbow fire
Simon N. (GM):@Chris do you want spiky barriers like outside? Or like tower shields/big doors?
Malied:I've got a spell or two to lock them down, plus some nasty stuff for when they bunch up
Ted:Ted sings in a raspy tennor while he digs
Chris T.:Idealy 3/4 cover for Dwarves, 1/2 for men.
Simon N. (GM):What are those red crosses?
Erasmus:(If our melee fighters fall back as far as the red crosses, it gives us the best coverage for the smallest front. Ranged fighters and casters behind to hit them as they come down the corridor.)
Simon N. (GM):4' high wood barrier Chris?
Chris T.:Simple miners debris for cover, moveable boxes.
Ted:"its all you need so believe me honey..."
Chris T.:(I know how much effort goes into digging a pit :D )
Ted:"ooowooah yeah yeah its only right now"
Simon N. (GM):ok the dwargves stack crates from the stores and roll boulders to where Fraener directs.
Erasmus:"What do you think , Norrin? Small or large?"
Simon N. (GM):Jyrdani w STR 18 can dig one of those a day.
Chris T.:where those crosses are will risk defenders getting cut off from East and West.. No one should be north of the red rug room once battle is joined.
Ted:"gimme all you lovin', hugs n kiss too"
Muiz:Hello everyone sorry im late i thought we start 30 mins later
Chris T.:Hiya Muiz
Simon N. (GM):GM: Day 3, afternoon: Ted & Norrin dig a bunch of litle pits for spikes. Jyrdani & Erasmis get their first pit dug.
Geoff:Small holes. big enough to break an ankle or two. Plus we can dig more of them, and faster
Simon N. (GM):Hi Muizz - clocks went forward in UK last week
Geoff:thoughtfully "Maybe both...?"
Simon N. (GM):ok don't move any tokens now
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:wipes brow "It's definitely... a pit."
Ted:"here I am rock you like a hurricane"
Muiz:yeah didnt check the game time properly so i wake up late
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:
Muiz:okay dont know where im supposed to be anyway
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:Sadly the Orc SCouts get 18 on Stealth so you don't spot them unless PP 19+ :)
Chris T.:not here
Malied:nope
Ted:15
Erasmus:Ted & Erasmus were keeping an eye out.
Qiviel:Q has 11 - she sees nothing aside from the hole she's been digging
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:I take it Strohm is on the Keep roof as he doesn't like being underground
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):ooc preferably yes
Erasmus:I thought J and N were digging, T & E on watch.
Chris T.:F on watch too
Malied:Orc ninja's
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:GM: It's getting dark and those outside are getting ready to pack it in for the night when you see the dark figures approaching through the trees.
Ted:"Norrin"
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):ooc holy shit
Ted:"Soiuth"
Malied:O.o
Ted:(THERES THE STROHM ALARM hahah)
Malied:BURN THE FOREST DOWN!
Simon N. (GM):What is that big red ball of twine on the cliff?
Geoff:"Time to go." Raising his voice: "Enemies! Enemies at the gate! Back to the keep!"
Erasmus:Q's Wolf hole, I believe.
Simon N. (GM):OK It/s rock there so she's not made much progress
Ted:
Simon N. (GM):
Erasmus:(Do you want me to do J?"

Simon N. (GM):
Qiviel:
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):ooc well im defintely last thankfully im indoors
Kenny - Syrus:
Qiviel:Nope, Q is last :/
Chris T.:"Get crossbowmen on the barricades in the mine, those Orcs will come on quick!"
Erasmus:
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):Q has inititiative of 8?
Simon N. (GM):everyone rolled?
Chris T.:(North and south of the red rug room and then around the eastern corner to the south of there
Simon N. (GM):GM: One of the dwarven scouts atop the Keep blows his War Horn, warning of the approaching Orcs.
Qiviel:The 8 init didn't stick, so I had to reroll and it was a 2
Simon N. (GM):
Ted:that is one sharped eyed dwarf
Scout, Dwarf:"More of 'em to the east!" points
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):alright but dont stay outside to long Q
Scout, Dwarf:#Fraener
Chris T.:Fraener casts Shield of Faith and moves to the mine entrance. Readies sacred flame. Done
Simon N. (GM):#Norrin
Geoff:"C'mon Ted, we're leaving."
Ted:"right on chief"
Simon N. (GM):You could fo prone & crawl under, otherwise Acrobatics to cross over without stabbing yourself
Geoff:He's not feeling very acrobatic today, so he'll crawl under.
Simon N. (GM):OK so 45 to there
Geoff:ok
Simon N. (GM):end turn there under it :)
Kenny - Syrus:Dashing up 60' next to Malied for a look (End Turn)
Simon N. (GM):Action to open Gate
Kenny - Syrus:Then I just wait at gate. End turn :)
Erasmus:OOC Gate opens outwards?
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):brb
Simon N. (GM):it can swing both ways
Kenny - Syrus:Yes, lets open gate so others can come in
Simon N. (GM):#Malied
Malied:Going to provide some heavy cover for Era and Jyr
Simon N. (GM):that's a square :)
Malied:bah
Simon N. (GM):that's only 12.5' radius :/
Malied:thanks, holding alt didn't work :/
Simon N. (GM):should be a circle 40' across
Malied:ah, ok, a little further down
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):Back
Malied:right, thats it
Simon N. (GM):hopefully E & J don't fall in their pit :)
Malied:xD
Erasmus:(We know where it is.)
Simon N. (GM):#Erasmus you are suddenly blinded as fog rolls over you
Malied:"Over hree!"
Simon N. (GM):DC 10 Survival if you want to take an Action to navigate safely out. I'll give Advtg as Malied yelling :)
Erasmus:Erasmus is surprised by the dense fog which suddenly descends. "Shit. J, come this way" and he takes her hand and points it back toward the hold. He then runs back to the north west.
Simon N. (GM):on fail, random direction
Erasmus Bos:
Malied:Adv
Erasmus:Mother F...
Ted:eek
Erasmus Bos:
Chris T.:eek
Malied::D
Ted:yeah
Erasmus:Thanks for reminding me!
Malied:;)
Chris T.:It's going to be a close race.
Erasmus:How does this movement work then?
Malied:good question...
Erasmus:The cloud is pretty good. They can only dash as a BA if they can see us
Chris T.:The Orcs get a free extra move when heading toewards enemies
Erasmus:Max 90', bo no attack once they get there.
Chris T.:My advice is still to fall back now and defend the mine. Beforewe get in each other's way.
Simon N. (GM):(back)
Malied:lets get everyone back to the fort then go from there, picking them off and making them bleed for every step
Chris T.:And once they have even one of us pinned?
Malied:we pull back inside
Chris T.:We can contain their numbers and maximize our fire power.
Simon N. (GM):OK Erasmus you can move another 25' from there w Jyrdani (using her Reaction)
Erasmus:Step of the Wind
Simon N. (GM):The big rocks in the pond are about 8' to top so block LOS at ground level
Ted:can ii cross the pond or do i have to go under the barrier?
Simon N. (GM):You can dive in pond & swim (at half speed & prone)
Ted:thats half a dash
Geoff:"Hi Ted, fancy meeting you here."
Ted:hey dude
Simon N. (GM):You also have your BA yup I'll move you
Ted:think he'll commando crawl avoid missles
Simon N. (GM):good plan!
Ted:as best he can
Simon N. (GM):to there & prone
Ted:thx
Simon N. (GM):J action move 30' (already used her move w Erasmus)
Ted:how high is the stockade?
Simon N. (GM):12'
Ted:very high for dwarves
Malied:O shit, they have a battering ram O.o
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):wait there is more to the west?
Chris T.:yup
Simon N. (GM):#Strohm
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):yeah to the east i mean

Ted:phew thought strohm was gonna shoot me...again
Simon N. (GM):#Qiviel
Kenny - Syrus:OOC - I love the scared Deer that is hiding in SE
Chris T.:(Malied and Strohm can be killing them by the dozen with their Burning Hands in the tight confines of the mines)
Malied:a Deer?! o god we must surrender! they have a Deer!
Chris T.::D
Qiviel:Q shifts along the road. end turn
Ted:oh deer
Simon N. (GM):#Fraener
Chris T.:Moves up the steps to take advantage of cover in the doorway. Hold action on Sacred flame. "Make sure there are men ready to move the barricades when we head down and replace them once we pass." Done.
Simon N. (GM):#Norrin
Ted:"Comon big guy"
Geoff:Extracts himself from under the barricade and dashes for the fort.
Simon N. (GM):30 to there
Geoff:That will do.
Simon N. (GM):#Syrus
Kenny - Syrus:Move up next to Malied…
Simon N. (GM):um, you can't see through the cloud!
Kenny - Syrus:OK then I try this one to the East?
Malied:(there are some to the east)
Simon N. (GM):From the heights you can't shoot through the tree cover
Kenny - Syrus:OK so I cannot see any of them to the East?
Simon N. (GM):Also you need to be on the cliff edge to look over it
Kenny - Syrus:OK then I move to edge of cliff to see the area you pinged... End Turn
Simon N. (GM):& ready bow?
Kenny - Syrus:(Thanks!)
Simon N. (GM):yes those are both actions
Kenny - Syrus:My normal movement I would not get there
Simon N. (GM):ok
Malied:toss a rope to Era and Jyr so they can climb up
Simon N. (GM):Throwing a rope isn't an action but that doesn't help them either
Malied:really, o, k
Simon N. (GM):Well it would just lie at their feet being a rope
Malied:ah, i meant like throw one end down so that they could climb up
Simon N. (GM):Since you are too weak to haul them up w/out hammering it in I suggest you just ready FB
Malied:I'll just ready a firebolt
Simon N. (GM):On the cliff edge so you can see orcs coming yes?
Malied:yarr
Simon N. (GM):#Erasmus
Erasmus:Erasmus runs to the place where the cheval de fris meets the cliff. Planting his hand on the cross bar, he runs up and along the wall to drop behind it.
Simon N. (GM):ok
Geoff:"Showoff," Norrin says to Erasmus, as his own armour is dirty and covered in mud.
Erasmus:"Have to be some advantages to getting hit easily!"
Simon N. (GM):>>At 9th level, you gain the ability to move along vertical surfaces and across liquids on Your Turn without Falling during the move.<< Not until 9th level :)
Erasmus:I'l say I'm done all the way to there, then.
Simon N. (GM):ok
Ted:Stand and run. "Hi Q, Bye Q"
Qiviel:Q nods as he passes
Simon N. (GM):15' to stand
Ted:got another 10
Chris T.:"Watch the pit!"
Simon N. (GM):Ted teeters :)
Ted:"Dont shoot i'm on yourside"
Chris T.:hehe
Ted:thx
Simon N. (GM):PP 15+ you hear an orc shouting a warning
Geoff:Norrin is both 15 PP and knows Orcish "Dammit, they know about our traps."
Simon N. (GM):Malied & Syrus roll Perception, if you get 15+ you see the yelling Orc & can use Readied shots on him
Kenny - Syrus:
Malied:
Simon N. (GM):he's 100-105' away
Malied:boo
Simon N. (GM):OK Syrus you spot him
Kenny - Syrus:(I didn't ready an action as I dashed in last round)
Simon N. (GM):Oh ok
Malied:
Kenny - Syrus:Which one did I spot?
Erasmus:"If they slow them, they work. If they force them around the fog, they work."
Malied:xd
Simon N. (GM):Syrus points out the orc to Malied who then misses it :)
Malied:wasted a nat 20
Simon N. (GM):
Chris T.:"Yay!"
Simon N. (GM):The wounded orc screams in pain
Ted:crack shot
Malied:...does it fall into one of the pits ?#
Chris T.:first blood :)
Erasmus:Which did he shoot, please?
Simon N. (GM):the one by the wee pits
Erasmus:Ta.
Simon N. (GM):You glimpse the Barlgura demon swinging through the trees
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:Watching Erasmus vaulting the defences, she tries the same thing.
Simon N. (GM):ok
Erasmus:brb

Simon N. (GM):12'
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):got it
Qiviel:(Are we pulling back into the palisade area?)
Malied:"Time to fall back!"
Erasmus:bk
Qiviel:So we're grouping up near Fraener? I'm working out where I'm supposed to retreat to :)
Chris T.:"If only they had listened."
Qiviel:Assuming that's where we're retreating to Q will go into the palisade
Malied:"we know how many we are dealing with now, that was worth statyin g up here for"
Simon N. (GM):
Chris T.:"We can not hope to even dent their forces with a few bolts and arrows! We must take up a position where we can bring our spells to bearon their massed ranks."
Erasmus:hold the mouse button over where you want it
Simon N. (GM):just press & hold
Malied:hold left clik
Chris T.:hmmm I can'tseeit..
Malied:make sure you have the cursor button selected
Chris T.:Ah! Thanks guys :)

Kenny - Syrus:ping again pls!
Malied:yep, thats what I meant by picket defense Chris ;)
Chris T.:Where their forceswill be forced to mass
Malied:soz if i didn't explain
Chris T.:well no one seemed interested during the week :D
Malied:soz, got flooded with stuff as usual -.-
Chris T.:No worries,we are where we are
Simon N. (GM):A dwarf steps out beside Fraeer and yells tp the non-dwarves. "Get inside wi' ye! Soon as the orcs are through yon gate, we're barrin' the keep door! Any o'youse still outside then are stayin' out!"
Erasmus:(Right click to turn corners, Geoff)
Geoff:(Thanks)
Chris T.:Fraener will hold the doors for as long as he can. He's all set up to kill the demon. He asks the crossbowmen to make sure every shot they can get they take at the demon. He will ready Bless for if it comes into view over the walls. Done.
Simon N. (GM):Dwarf: "You reckon bolts will hurt it, Father?"
Geoff:"Run away!"
Ted:"watch out for the pit big guy"
Chris T.:"I don't know my friend, but I will call the blessings of the Dvarfatter to guide your shots and hope his magic serves."
Geoff:done
Simon N. (GM):The dwarf cocks his light x-bow. "As you say, Father. I'm Vili, by the bye."
Chris T.:"I am proud to stand beside you, Vili!"
Simon N. (GM):Vili: "Aye, you ain't seen me shootin' yet!" grins ruefully

Simon N. (GM):You see a stout dwarf butt above you as a sniper climbs the ladder.
Ted:hi
Simon N. (GM):The dwarf grunts.
Ted:dont shoot im on yer side
Simon N. (GM):The Barlgura scrambles along the cliff, claws digging chunks from the hard stone.
Ted:(are they loop holes in the wall?)
Simon N. (GM):there are arrow slits in the keep walls
Ted:(not on the roof. ok thx)
Simon N. (GM):The roof has battlements
Chris T.:"Inside! Inside the doors!" Bellows Fraener
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:Jyrdani considers throwing a javelin at the orc by the sleeping group but, hearing fraener, and seeing the barlgura, decides instead to book it to the safety of the pallisade.
Simon N. (GM):Minus the 15' for getting round the barrier
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:done there then
Simon N. (GM):The wounded orc shakes his boss awake
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"Sorry Syrus, didn't want to risk getting locked out."
Erasmus:Looking up to the roof "Where are all the archers? Why aren't they already up there to cover us?"
Ted:Hut hut hut (orc swat chant)

Malied:yep, if you get hit before the start of you next turn you stay raged
Simon N. (GM):>>Hang on, isn't by the start of her next turn?<< No, "Your rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked Unconscious or if Your Turn ends and you haven’t attacked a Hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then. "
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:Well that's just shit. :(
Malied:o yea...
