The online fantasy game I'm in had a session on Saturday. We are on our way from Credia in the Timiro Kingdom to the Western Empire by the way of the Inland Sea. I thought I would share part of the log below as it's a rather crazy plan I came up with to avoid a fight with some bandits. Not sure where the crazy plan came from but it worked. I find the crazy plans can be the most fun to do.
Cast
- ArchMage - Rodney Stott: GM
- Derek - Mindmeltr (Lucky): Changeling Wizard
- Inton - Shawn Merrow: Human Priest of Light
- Karchock Malis - Plourde: Wolfen Mercenary (was absent from the game so his Wolfen had a cold and rode in the back of the wagon)
<ArchMage> as you go around a corner, you notice a tree blocking the path.
- Inton stops the wagon and grabs the staff at his side
- Derek jumps down and attempts to move the fallen log.
<Inton> Derek this dosen't look good
- Inton keeps a lookout
<ArchMage> as you jump down from the wagon, you hear a crashing sound from behind you
- Inton spins around to see what made the noise
<ArchMage> another tree falls down, blocking the rear
- Derek looks toward the sound but continues toward the tree.
<Inton> I really don't like that
<ArchMage> you hear this voice coming from the trees, "STAND AND DELIVER!"
<ArchMage> "Throw down your valuables and you can leave, or else prepare to make thy maker
- Inton looks at Derek
<Inton> This could have gone better
<Inton> "We have a monster that you cannot stop" hopes a Wolfen sneeze will back up bluff
<ArchMage> (Rolling for a miracle here)
<ArchMage> AS you say this, Karchock lets off one ripper of a sneeze.
- Derek calls up into the trees, "Deliver what? A sorry nag and and an ever sorrier wagon?"
- Inton looks into wagon with a look of horror "O my God!"
<ArchMage> you hear nervous chittering coming from several pockets as the sneeze dies down,
<ArchMage> you also hear another crash,
<ArchMage> and a scream
- Inton looks toward scream but still pretends to be scared of what's inside the wagon
<ArchMage> They voice calls out agian, (this time, you can hear strains in his voice), Hand over your 200 gold and you can go!"
<Inton> If I had money do you think I would doing this crazy job.
- Derek laughs at the voice in the trees and says, Do we LOOK like we have any gold? We had to pay for this beast's food somehow, before he ate US!"
<ArchMage> leave something of value then, but take that wagon and go!
- Derek says, "Ok, we'll let him go, but you hafta catch him if you can..."
<ArchMage> your weapons, food, anything!
<ArchMage> you hear another crash, breaking branches followed a short sharp scream,
- Inton looks through pack for something to throw at bandits but can't seem to find anything
- Inton starts to look frantic "I'm trying to find something quickly before he can get out.
<ArchMage> the sounds of crashing become deffening, but die down
<ArchMage> after several minutes all you hear is sniffling coming from the wagon.
<Inton> I think they didn't like us, Derek
<Inton> Can you move the tree so we can get our monster on the way?
- Derek attempts to move the tree.
<ArchMage> the tree moves easily after a minute, and you clear the path up ahead
<ArchMage> Nice tacktic guys...
<ArchMage> tactics
<Inton> Thanks :-)
- Derek hops back onto the wagon and prepares to leave.
- Inton gets the wagon moving again
<Derek> Better to avoid a fight if you can...
<ArchMage> yeap,
<ArchMage> innovated use of a absent player :)
<Inton> Who ever thought that cold would come in handy. <G>
