Let's play... #1: Hero Quest

[john4p]

Wanted to do this for a while already. Let's play an Amiga game. Here.

Let's play... Hero Quest:

http://i27.tinypic.com/15dx6wh.png

Rules:
- Anyone may decide what to do
- First come, first serve (then we'll all have to wait until I update the thread...)
- The person who played last has to pause for 1 hour (but only if he did a complete move - if more than one person took part in the last turn no one has to pause)
- Anyone may finish incomplete turns without having to pause the next

We'll play as each of the 4 characters until all are dead (or all missions cleared). No one will be resurrected. We start with the 1st mission, then the 2nd and so on.

The four characters are Targhan (the Barbarian), Thorin (the Dwarf), Elrond (the Elf) and Mithrandir (the Wizard).

Btw., I highly recommend this piano-remix of Hero Quest's bgm: http://www.amigaremix.com/remixes/search/1952


We use N, E, W and S to move. Here is a pic to clear up what the directions mean:

http://i31.tinypic.com/sqhykh.png


List of Commands:

N: move 1 step north (-> the grim looking man is our "northstar" in the isometric view)
E: move 1 step east
S: move 1 step south
W: move 1 step west
O: open door (doesn't cost any movement points)
M: show map
A: attack monster ("AE" = attack monster to the east)
C: cast spell (e.g. "C water of healing on Thorin")
U: use item (e.g. "U holy water on zombie" or "U toolkit" (to dismantle trap))
T: search for treasure (default move if you don't search for hidden doors)
H: search for hidden doors or traps
F: finish turn


List of Spells:


AIR SPELLS
----------

SWIFT WIND
----------

This spell can be cast on any one player. That player will then have the
equivalent of twice as many dice the next time he throws. The spell is then
discarded.

A small tempest is created which envelops one monster or player of your
choice. That monster or player will then miss their next turn. The spell is
then discarded.


FIRE SPELLS
-----------

BALL OF FLAME
-------------

This spell may be cast at any one monster or player. It will inflict two
points of Body damage. The victim may roll two defence dice, and for each
shield he may reduce the damage by one. The spell is then discarded.

COURAGE
-------

This spell may be cast on any one player. That player may then throw two
extra dice each time he attacks, until the spell is broken. The spell is

movement will allow. The spell is then discarded.

ROCK SKIN

extra combat dice in defence, until the spell is broken. The spell is broken
when that player is wounded. The spell is then discarded.


WATER SPELLS

WATER OF HEALING
----------------

This spell may be cast on any one player. It will restore up to four Body
points that have been lost. The spell is then discarded.

SLEEP

This spell will put one monster or player to sleep. He may try to defend
himself by rolling one dice per Mind point. If he rolls a shield he is
unaffected. Once asleep he may not defend if attacked. He will awake if he
rolls a six at the start of the turn, or if attacked.

VEIL OF MIST
------------

This spell may be cast on any one player. That player may then move unseen
through spaces that are occupied by other players or monsters the next time
he moves. The spell is then discarded.

Our wizard Mithrandir can cast the fire-, air- and earth-spells

Our elf Elrond can cast the three water-spells.

Btw., the "competition-aspect" of this thread is EAB vs the Amiga 500. If the game (incl. witch-lord expansion disk) is completed EAB wins. If all characters die Team EAB loses... ;)

[john4p]

Okay, first decisions to be made.

Which 2 elements shall Mithrandir specialize in?

http://i32.tinypic.com/15eer2e.png

[Shoonay]

Never played it... erm... Fire?

(Do I get a point? ;))

[TheCyberDruid]

Huh? Will you play for us? Will we all play? And then? :confused :D
Maybe you can elaborate about the purpose of this thread a bit more john.

[Bloodwych]

LOL! Everyone is real bored today! I did this with Battle Chess years ago! EAB vs Amiga! I think the Amiga won! Nice one! :great

I choose Fire and Water, because I'm a Battlebeast fan.

[john4p]

Huh? Will you play for us? Will we all play? And then? :confused :D
Maybe you can elaborate about the purpose of this thread a bit more john.You'll decide - I'll "input" your decisions via WinUAE (and always make a savestate of course).

It'll elaborate enough while this thread progresses... ;)


I thought the wizard may select 2 elements. But Shoonay was right when he selected only 1.

So Mithrandir is now a Fire-mage.


Now please select Elrond's element:

http://i32.tinypic.com/k1ymj7.png

Water, Air or Earth? Bloodwych may participate this round (which only consists of this single decision ;)), Shoonay has to pause now...

[Bloodwych]

Water, Water, Water!!!!

[TheCyberDruid]

If it get it right you'll get a big :great for this thread john :D
Nice one mate!

[humble worm]

what about 20 users with different ideas what to do? :)

[Shoonay]

first posted - first served I guess ;)

[john4p]

Okay. And so it begins...

Mission 1 - The Maze:

http://i27.tinypic.com/2zrqb6e.png


Targhan rolled a 7. You may now walk 7 steps and then either search for treasures or hidden doors.

Note that in the isometric view down/right is east (E), down/left is south (S), up/left is west (W) and up/right is north (N).
(Just keep in mind the "grim looking man" is our "northstar". ;))

In order to walk, just write e.g.: EEENNWS or 3xE 2xN W S

A means "attack". AE would mean "attack monster standing east from me".
H means "look for hidden doors".
T means "search for treasure".
C means "cast spell".
U means "use item".

Targhan currently has 0 items...

http://i27.tinypic.com/24v5mpt.png

http://i27.tinypic.com/2n1gaad.png

What shall he do?


(Apology in advance because this thread will often stall due to me not being online all the time...)


edit: Thanks, TCD! And Shoonay got it right - first one decides...

Sorry, g2g now (for today).

[TheCyberDruid]

EEEE (then I need a new pic, but I guess it's) EEE ;)

[john4p]

I've added the 3 Es right away:

http://i32.tinypic.com/1zpguwo.png

You could've already told if you wanna look for treasure (T) or hidden doors (H)...

Now - T or H (TCD may decide this, too, since he didn't complete his turn)?

[TheCyberDruid]

Oh missed that part. One 'H' then please ;)

[john4p]

Nothing:

http://i28.tinypic.com/a1u06r.png


Now it's Thorin's turn. He rolled a 5:

http://i29.tinypic.com/sc9frc.png

http://i27.tinypic.com/dpiki1.png

What shall he do?

[gimbal]

this thread is brilliant!

EEEEE

[john4p]

Glad you like it.

http://i28.tinypic.com/28wkqcp.png

Please post if you want to look for hidden doors (incl. traps...) or treasure (you need gold for weapons and armour).
You can do this right away, e.g. EEEEE+H or 5xE+T...

So?

[Shoonay]

go e, go n, erm... enter door

[TheCyberDruid]

It's still gimby's turn and then there will be the next char Shoons ;)

[Shoonay]

sorry, it's a bit confusing... ;)

[TheCyberDruid]

Yeah, but fun :D Can't wait for the next turn :spin :great

[Shoonay]

Indeed, we need more threads like that, or even not "interactive" like this one, I'd love to see someone play something, name the characters after the happi folks from EAB and post everything he does with screenies and stuff, see here (http://ppk.it.pl/index.php?topic=4885.0) for example, one of the best threads like that in the interwebz ;)

Pardon teh OT john ;)

[TheCyberDruid]

No, it's only fun if it's interactive, but I really don't like to see gaming blogs... We already have 'What are you playing?', that should be enough.

[john4p]

Btw., everyone may now decide whether Thorin should look for treasure or hidden doors/traps.

If someone shouldn't explicitly post "look for hidden doors/traps" (H) in the following steps I'll just look for treasure per default (thus EEEEE will then equal EEEEE+T...).

The one deciding now for gimbal won't have to pause for the next decision...


@Shoonay: There are similar threads to the one posted by you over at pspuae.com (I think someone plays Dungeon Master with the names of 4 users of the PSPUAE-forums).
But I also prefer "interactivity"...

[TheCyberDruid]

One 'T' please :D

[humble worm]

heh, Ive already posted "treasure" but removed my post quickly, thinking that maybe it was up to gimbal to decide :spin

[john4p]

1 Holy Water (use against undead)

http://i29.tinypic.com/rk8nkx.png


Now it's Elrond's turn. He rolled an 11.

http://i25.tinypic.com/2wogarm.png

http://i28.tinypic.com/2m2fced.png

http://i32.tinypic.com/r9r706.png

[humble worm]

I think he should get closer to the dwarf, so SSSSS and then WWWWWW (how many squares has the room anyway? not sure if I got dwarfs location right)

is there a point to look for hidden things twice in the same room? do the characters differ as for perception skill?

[john4p]

The Ws didn't make sense - so I just moved 5xS to the next screen. Elrond still has 6 movement-points left.

Note that you can open a door if you're standing besides it without losing points - but enemies inside the room can see you then...

http://i28.tinypic.com/15g3y4o.png

Take a look at this map to get an idea where Elrond can move now:

http://i30.tinypic.com/2w4wqdt.png

And looking twice in the same room for hidden doors/traps is unnecessary. If it's there it will be found...


P.S. Anyone may finish incomplete turns without having to pause the next...

[humble worm]

oh, now I see (thought they all were inside large hall but it appears that the yellow stripe is corridor not wall :o) If I still have a go then SSSSWW (I dont think its good idea to penetrate rooms alone).

[john4p]

Okay. Since you didn't search for hidden doors/traps I looked for treasure and found 50 gold for Elrond:

http://i25.tinypic.com/w22gl1.png


Now it's our fire-mage Mithrandir's turn. He rolled a 6:

http://i30.tinypic.com/2wfke9f.png

http://i30.tinypic.com/2cwx0g8.png

http://i31.tinypic.com/2zyx8uw.png

What shall he do?

[TheCyberDruid]

Nnnnnnt

[humble worm]

What is range within which a character searches for treasures/doors? Is it the range of sight?

[john4p]

What is range within which a character searches for treasures/doors? Is it the range of sight?It's the area you see in the isometric view (which probably is inconsistent with the original board game...).


Mithrandir's search attracted a monster:

http://i29.tinypic.com/2agl269.png

http://i27.tinypic.com/migapj.png

And so the first fight began. The wizard got lucky and could fully defend:

http://i26.tinypic.com/28kww5.png

http://i32.tinypic.com/20s63kg.png

After ending the turn the orc ran away to safety:

http://i29.tinypic.com/biv6vm.png


Now it's Targhan's turn again. He rolled a 4:

http://i30.tinypic.com/tald10.png

http://i28.tinypic.com/iwu744.png

[humble worm]

EEeeT

[john4p]

I stopped here because of this door:

http://i26.tinypic.com/246s75d.png

There is 1 movement point left. Opening the door (O) is free at this point (monsters behind it might attack after your turn if you open it).

So now you could do:
- ET (leaving the door closed)
- OET (opening the door, but proceeding further to the east)
- ST (opening the door and entering the room)
- only OT
- only T
- W (moving back which would be rather useless...)

What's it gonna be?

[john4p]

Although humble worm didn't make a mistake anyone may finish his turn (without having to pause afterwards) since he's currently offline.

[TheCyberDruid]

I hate to say it, but make it ST then ;)

[john4p]

100 coins!

http://i31.tinypic.com/x5zf9f.png

http://i26.tinypic.com/ei5y53.png


Thorin's turn. He rolled a 6:

http://i29.tinypic.com/deuuf8.png

http://i28.tinypic.com/20k9i1i.png

What shall our dwarven warrior do?

[john4p]

Found out in the manual the wizard does get 3 elements and the elf 1:

At the start of each game the Wizard will choose three sets of spells, and the Elf one. The Wizard chooses one set, then the Elf chooses his set, and the Wizard gets the two remaining sets.
So our wizard is a fire-earth-air-mage...


Another info: instead of moving and then searching you can also search first and then move.
You can't move, search and then continue to move, though.


P.S. The same holds true for attacking and casting spells, I guess. So you can attack and then move or move and then attack. And you can cast a spell and then move or move and then cast a spell...

[TheCyberDruid]

Okay, let's do a EON and then I need a new screenie :)

[john4p]

Thanks for keeping the thread alive. :great

I have a new command for you: M (map).

In order to save movement points I just did EOM - so you can look if there are enemies in the room without entering it:

http://i28.tinypic.com/345ovbb.png

But since there was no enemy I entered after all:

http://i31.tinypic.com/ka379j.png

Thorin has 4 movement points left now.

[TheCyberDruid]

Then we just 'north' through it : NNNN

[john4p]

An orc attacks while searching for treasure:

http://i25.tinypic.com/29ejio1.png

But Thorin fully defends*:

http://i32.tinypic.com/jsj7gw.jpg

(*Writing in present tense now for a more intense feel of action! ;))


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elrond's turn now. He rolled a 5.

http://i30.tinypic.com/flm2av.png

http://i26.tinypic.com/2v33m6d.png

What shall he do?


P.S. Updated 1st post with lists of commands and spells.

[rexsu]

World Wide Web
(funny idea John4p ;))

[john4p]

Thanks, rexsu. Thought this thread had already FAILED... ;)

Thus I left my savestate at home and won't be able to continue until this evening.
(Tomorrow I'll take the savestate with me.)

[TheCyberDruid]

Can't you leave early today john? ;) Thanks for saving this thead rexsu :D :great

[john4p]

Can't you leave early today john? ;):lol I wish I could. But from tomorrow on I'll take my USB-stick with me...

[TheCyberDruid]

Ah, good to hear that :) You know, a day at work can be very long... ;)

[john4p]

You know, a day at work can be very long...
Tell me about it... ;)


Elrond moved thrice to the west:

http://i32.tinypic.com/rc61k1.png

He now has 2 movement points left.

What shall he do?

[mailman]

Tn

[john4p]

Welcome mailman! :great

N (north) is to the upper-right (the grim looking man). So this doesn't make sense.

Also T (treasure) can only be used at the end of a move (or at the very beginning).
And T doesn't cost a movement point. So you can move twice and then T.

Examples for possible moves:

WW (move twice straight ahead from Elrond's point of view => wouldn't make much sense because there is a blocked field afterwards)
WNT (enter second door and then search for treasure)
S (enter room => we need a new screenshot)
OM (open door & look at map in order to see what's behind the door => still 2 movement points left)
OWOM (open both doors & look at map in order to see what's behind the doors => still 1 movement point left)


P.S. The game doesn't allow Elrond to search his current area for treasure or hidden doors - so the area in which searching is allowed seems to be larger than just what we see in the isometric view. Should he enter one of those two doors I'm certain he is allowed to search there though.

[mailman]

EET then ;)

[john4p]

You're trying to sabotage this thread? ;) "EET" would move Elrond to where he was before - and he couldn't search there for treasure.

Okay, I've edited the pic to make the directions clearer:

http://i27.tinypic.com/xfwxe.png

Just remember: "The grim looking man is our northstar."

Did you mean "SST"?

[TheCyberDruid]

Yes, I think he meant OSST ;)

[john4p]

Okay, I believe so, too. :great
(Note you can omit the "O" if you plan to enter the room anyway, so "SST" is correct)

Another 50 coins for Elrond again:

http://i30.tinypic.com/szgbwo.png

http://i31.tinypic.com/oqlmpi.png


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mithrandir's turn now. He rolled a 7:

http://i26.tinypic.com/140aqg4.png

http://i30.tinypic.com/2wdtw8i.png


In order to avoid directional confusions:

http://i31.tinypic.com/sqhykh.jpg


What shall our wizard do?

[TheCyberDruid]

Let's follow Elrond : NNNWWWWT.

[john4p]

Good idea.

I know now why Elrond couldn't search in that area - it's because of the orc. Mithrandir couldn't search either:

http://i32.tinypic.com/2wpnsdi.png

Do you want to (F) finish his turn or do you want to (C) cast a spell against the orc?

Mithrandir's available spells:

Swift Wind
Tempest
Ball of Flame
Courage
Fire of Wrath
Heal Body
Pass through Rock
Rock Skin

[TheCyberDruid]

Okay, cast a 'ball of flame' then.

[john4p]

The first kill in this game:

http://i31.tinypic.com/4khh5g.png

Gone he is:

http://i30.tinypic.com/2ahcjf8.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another orc retaliates by attacking our brave dwarven warrior:

http://i27.tinypic.com/11b3gr5.png

Thorin can defend against the first strike, but then the orc hits him.
Thorin now only has 6 (out of 7) hitpoints left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Targhan's turn. He rolled an 8:

http://i32.tinypic.com/e7bcau.png

http://i28.tinypic.com/30m05ld.png

Direction help:

http://i31.tinypic.com/sqhykh.jpg


What shall he do?

[humble worm]

Neeeeeeet

[john4p]

Okay. Back to the hallway and to the east. While searching for treasure Targhan gets hit by a trap:

http://i31.tinypic.com/2qdy5vt.png

He now only has 7 (out of 8) hitpoints left. Current position on the map:

http://i29.tinypic.com/2rz5ton.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now it's Thorin's turn. He rolled a 4.

http://i25.tinypic.com/2nv9q8m.png

Note you can attack first and then move. Or just attack and then wait (because after the attack the path might be free) how the battle turned out and then decide where to move...

What shall the dwarf do?

[mailman]

My first try was OK (I knew where's the northstar) but I got confused because John said that N wouldn't make sense... So I changed it. I also did not know that looking for treasure does not cost move point.

Nevertheless, I barely follow the action so I won't be taking part...

[john4p]

That's sad. Btw., the N didn't make sense because there was a wall. You would have had to go W once and then N through the door (WN).

[TheCyberDruid]

I'd say we attack that orc (or whatever it is) and see what's next then :)

[john4p]

Thorin defeats the orc with his bare hands (still has no weapon):

http://i32.tinypic.com/30w74mx.png

http://i27.tinypic.com/33li1at.png

http://i28.tinypic.com/ibfnfd.png

He still has 4 movement points left. Where shall he go?

[TheCyberDruid]

I hope this makes sense : WONNNT ;)

[john4p]

Attacking and searching in the same round doesn't seem to be allowed.
I stopped here because maybe you wanna reconsider the last 2 steps (NN):

http://i26.tinypic.com/n63i36.png

Thorin has 2 movement points left. Where shall he go?

[TheCyberDruid]

NE then

[john4p]

Okay. Left the door closed because there would be no advantage right now opening it:

http://i27.tinypic.com/rlvyqa.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elrond's turn. He rolled a 6:

http://i25.tinypic.com/2v9u4wk.png

http://i32.tinypic.com/23ruy9x.png

What shall he do?

[humble worm]

NNENT and lets see what's next

[john4p]

I haven't searched for treasure yet - because then Elrond wouldn't be able to move further:

http://i32.tinypic.com/15rxelj.png

He still has 2 movement points left.

What shall he do?

[humble worm]

so NNT

are you not bored yet, john? :)

[john4p]

I do this because I am bored... ;)

http://i29.tinypic.com/11b0ni8.png

But no problem for our dexterous elf:

http://i31.tinypic.com/2qncns2.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mithrandir rolled a 4.

http://i26.tinypic.com/25u2kh1.png

http://i25.tinypic.com/2qiqkg0.png

What shall he do?

still available spells:

Swift Wind
Tempest
Courage
Fire of Wrath
Heal Body
Pass through Rock
Rock Skin

[TheCyberDruid]

Let's follow this other guy (no idea which one of them it is ;)). So : WWNNT please :D

[john4p]

Elrond was that other guy. Searching for treasure isn't possible because of the orc in here:

http://i29.tinypic.com/17tni0.png

But you could cast a spell ("fire of wrath" might kill the orc - or see 1st post of this topic for "list of spells" to know what the other spells are about).

F (finish move) or C (cast a spell)?

[TheCyberDruid]

Cast the fire of wrath on the Orc please :)

[john4p]

Fire consumes your opponent:

http://i30.tinypic.com/6qwv4h.png

http://i29.tinypic.com/dqr5er.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The barbarian only rolled a 2:

http://i29.tinypic.com/dd15as.png

http://i25.tinypic.com/2502z5i.png

What shall he do (note he already searched here for treasure - but not yet for doors/traps)?

[humble worm]

search for traps and then EE (or EE and traps if the former is impossible)

[john4p]

The search for doors and traps uncovers nothing:

http://i28.tinypic.com/30tjtav.png

Afterwards Targhan travels two fields to the east in his quest to defeat everything evil in the world:

http://i32.tinypic.com/t8uc6r.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thorin also only rolled a 2:

http://i26.tinypic.com/qyv1ol.png

http://i29.tinypic.com/2z902m8.png

What's he supposed to do now?

[humble worm]

Yeah, good question! Somebody answer it please! :D

[john4p]

:lol :great

[TheCyberDruid]

:D M'kay... Let's move EE and then T ;)

[john4p]

This bulky fellow blocks the way (guarding the wall in front of him ;)):

http://i28.tinypic.com/16a2mic.png

1 movement point left. What shall Thorin do?

[humble worm]

First Thorin should squeeze life from the orc with his bare hands and then step upon its corpse (E)

[john4p]

No problem again for our dwarf:

http://i27.tinypic.com/13z7nn6.png

The orc's death-scream is heard: "Whuaaaargh!"

http://i27.tinypic.com/fnslsm.png

Since Thorin already moved and then attacked he can't move again now and his turn is finished (he can't search, either):

http://i32.tinypic.com/v6ji8k.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elrond rolled a 6:

http://i28.tinypic.com/2eek6tv.png

http://i28.tinypic.com/2wcqnih.png

He's awaiting orders...


P.S. No one has to pause because no one did a full move. Updated first post with this rule:

- The person who played last has to pause the next round (but only if he did a complete move - if more than one person took part in the last turn no one has to pause)

[humble worm]

NEO please

[john4p]

Okay:

http://i27.tinypic.com/20b1h8k.png

There is someone:

http://i29.tinypic.com/254wsgx.png

4 movement points left. What shall Elrond do?

[john4p]

@humble worm: Just to avoid any confusion: of course you can still continue with your turn (because you haven't finished it yet)...

[humble worm]

yeah I know, had to slow down a bit ;)

EEA please

[TheCyberDruid]

Ah... yes that makes sense ;)
(sorry, confused the two guys :nervous)

[john4p]

yeah I know, had to slow down a bit

EEA please
Ah, okay - I see... ;)


Unfortunately the orc can defend against the elf's attack and remains unharmed:

http://i25.tinypic.com/2n8olcm.png

http://i30.tinypic.com/23h2975.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mithrandir rolled a 4. That's one movement point too few to attack the orc in melee:

http://i25.tinypic.com/s1q41z.png

http://i29.tinypic.com/16kcj8p.png

But it's enough to enter the room and (maybe) cast a spell...

Remaining spells:

Swift Wind
Tempest
Courage
Heal Body
Pass through Rock
Rock Skin

What shall the wizard do?

[TheCyberDruid]

Since the only other door leads to the hallway, I think we should explore the area south then. So SSEST please.

Edit : Read my edit john ;)

[john4p]

To the south it is, then. But since the room had already been searched for treasure before the search would have been wasted:

http://i32.tinypic.com/aw105.png
hyptothetical, non-canon scenario ;)

Thus Mithrandir doesn't search for treasure but for hidden doors/traps instead and finds this:

http://i30.tinypic.com/2e0pjtl.png

http://i27.tinypic.com/21aiwp.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The enemies' turn. The orc tries to harm Elrond - but the elf dodges the attack:

http://i27.tinypic.com/2lwp10j.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Targhan rolls a 6.

http://i26.tinypic.com/jal939.png

http://i32.tinypic.com/2v8ppjc.png

What shall he do?

[humble worm]

EEEEEE or EEEEES (not sure how many squares there are) and search for doors please

[john4p]

6xE it is. Because of the orc in the area Targhan unfortunately can't search for anything:

http://i25.tinypic.com/2mzejcw.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thorin rolls a 4.

http://i31.tinypic.com/xc5hkk.png

http://i32.tinypic.com/f0251k.png

This room seems like a dead-end. Or is there a hidden door?

What shall he do?

[TheCyberDruid]

Let's search for doors and decide afterwards :)

[john4p]

That was unexpected - there's nothing (wait, maybe nice treasure?):

http://i31.tinypic.com/o0z4zs.png

4 movement points left for Thorin.

[TheCyberDruid]

Hmm, anyway... let's move WWSS and forget about it ;)

[john4p]

Okay:

http://i30.tinypic.com/2uh1q1l.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elrond rolls a 7.

http://i31.tinypic.com/2rzutrq.png

http://i29.tinypic.com/2v33n5y.png

What shall he do?

[humble worm]

he should attack the orc and then we will see

[john4p]

Something held Elrond back. The elf and the orc just keep staring at each other:

http://i32.tinypic.com/2nkubl5.png

Elrond has 7 movement points left.

What shall he do?

[humble worm]

all he can do is walk, right? maybe just skip the turn...

[john4p]

M'kay.

So it's the wizard's turn again. He rolls a 7:

http://i28.tinypic.com/262msjo.png

http://i30.tinypic.com/2iuihi.png

What shall he do?

[TheCyberDruid]

WWWSSOS then let's see what's in the room.

[john4p]

I did an "M" instead of the last "S". Because maybe you wanna reconsider entering that room:

http://i32.tinypic.com/28083t1.png

Mithrandir still has 2 movement points left...

[TheCyberDruid]

Yes, good idea ;) Let's move NW then and make a T.

[john4p]

No treasure:

http://i27.tinypic.com/28bz9ki.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The enemies' turn.

Ouch! Elrond loses 1/3 of his health:

http://i27.tinypic.com/wrmmg6.png

The elf only has 4 out of 6 hitpoints left.

The other orc runs at Targhan - but then he's so intimidated that he just freezes:

http://i29.tinypic.com/2qcjwwx.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Targhan's turn. He rolls a 9.

http://i30.tinypic.com/2s9avq0.png

http://i32.tinypic.com/3532irt.png

What shall he do?

[humble worm]

dammit, I should have known, elves are weaklings at defence :banghead

Attack the orc please

[john4p]

The elf's healing spell might soon come in handy... ;)

Targhan's first victory:

http://i26.tinypic.com/2j2811j.png

9 movement points left for our barbarian. What shall he do now?

[humble worm]

he cannot search now, right? I guess he should go and help his skinny companion
SSSSSSWWW

[john4p]

Correct - he can't search anymore. The last W-step isn't possible because of the orc:

http://i29.tinypic.com/xp7j40.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thorin rolled an 8.

http://i26.tinypic.com/jl1fza.png

http://i29.tinypic.com/2dtt6py.png

What shall he do?

[TheCyberDruid]

Let him search for hidden doors please- Otherwise it will be a long walk for him ;)

[john4p]

Unfortunately there is no hidden door:

http://i30.tinypic.com/5lwj0k.png

But I have a feeling in the small room he just passed through might have been one...

8 movement points left. Where shall Thorin move?

[TheCyberDruid]

Ah well, I think I'll trust your intuition DM john :laughing NNN and then F this turn.

[john4p]

Thorin moves into the corner:

http://i32.tinypic.com/210d5ae.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elrond rolls a 7.

http://i31.tinypic.com/243gphi.png

http://i32.tinypic.com/25qygys.png

What shall he do?

[gimbal]

sorry I ditched my turn all those posts ago :( Still the coolest thread I've seen in a while!

[john4p]

Anyone may make complete or incomplete turns. And anyone may complete incomplete turns here...

I'd appreciate if you'd return (currently only 2 people playing). :great

[TheCyberDruid]

/me waits for either gimby to take his turn or HW to wake up ;)

[humble worm]

alright, I think the elf should try to heal himself and then leave the place, WWSSSSS please

[john4p]

Elrond heals himself by casting Water of Healing:

http://i26.tinypic.com/2nqsl7d.png

Because of the wall he then went WWSSSES into safety (probably):

http://i26.tinypic.com/307xjs9.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mithrandir's turn. He rolled a 6.

http://i28.tinypic.com/14e9c0y.png

http://i27.tinypic.com/24kxgs4.png

What shall he do?

[TheCyberDruid]

SWWWWW (if that is possible ;))

[john4p]

Only did SW because of a dead end:

http://i27.tinypic.com/n63yow.png

4 movement points left.

[TheCyberDruid]

Okay, ENNN.

[john4p]

Okay:

http://i29.tinypic.com/2m6px54.png

Wanna cast Pass through Rock on Elrond or open the door or do both or just finish the turn?

[TheCyberDruid]

Just open the door.

[john4p]

It's the room with the exit:

http://i30.tinypic.com/15ybu4l.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our barbarian defends against the orc's attack:

http://i30.tinypic.com/2e1bn1f.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then Targhan rolled a 6:

http://i30.tinypic.com/fnxqx0.png

What shall he do?

[humble worm]

attack the orc please and we'll see

[john4p]

The orc defends:

http://i29.tinypic.com/2jcejqf.png

http://i26.tinypic.com/14sytn4.png

6 movement points left. What shall he do?

[humble worm]

:( skip the turn please

[john4p]

Okay, finished Targhan's turn.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thorin rolled a: 12!

http://i25.tinypic.com/f38j0p.png

http://i28.tinypic.com/4jt074.png

What shall he do?

[TheCyberDruid]

H and I hope your intuition yesterday was right john ;)

[john4p]

Yay - secret door!

http://i27.tinypic.com/r1l6jb.png

http://i26.tinypic.com/2uym0q8.png

http://i25.tinypic.com/4ftj7n.png

12 movement points left...

[TheCyberDruid]

:D NEEEA Let's see if our dwarf inflicts some damage!

[john4p]

Unfortunately he's not able to attack because he already searched this round.

Thus he only takes 1 step forward to look what's to the left:

http://i32.tinypic.com/sb0hz6.png

http://i26.tinypic.com/2uhya82.png

11 movement points left. What shall he do?

[TheCyberDruid]

Yay, no searching and attacking in the same round :banghead Just make it S and F then...

[gimbal]

I don't have time to play today (kick off of a new gigantic project), and I need the time to catch up to what has happened until now :) But I'll try to play tomorrow.

[john4p]

@gimbal: Good - the more the merrier... :great

Dunno why (bug?), but the game won't allow Thorin to step back through the hidden door (tried S, WWEES, EEWWS - but he just can't go back).
Thus he went WW(WE) into "safety":

http://i28.tinypic.com/14t80mt.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elrond rolled a 6:

http://i27.tinypic.com/r723h3.png

http://i26.tinypic.com/vxhod2.png

What shall he do?

[humble worm]

does Elrond have any offensive spell?

If he does, then let's go NNNNEC (if he will be able to cast it at the orc yet) or NNNNEEC...

if not, lets go ESSSS and H

EDIT: I see, he got sleep spell, right? So let's wish the orc sweet dreams ;)
(sorry, did not know of the exceptions from the Manual you posted)

[john4p]

NNNNEC wouldn't be possible because of:

http://i29.tinypic.com/igguxk.png
non canon what-if scenario

So Elrond does NNNNEEC, but:

http://i27.tinypic.com/vryrfr.png

Looks like trouble again:

http://i27.tinypic.com/2mph2fk.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mithrandir rolled a 5:

http://i31.tinypic.com/29da7tf.png

http://i25.tinypic.com/2807ex1.png

What shall he do?

[TheCyberDruid]

NNNWWW... I'm a curious guy ;)

[john4p]

Oops, the wizard didn't roll a 6, but a 5. Thus he goes NNNWW and then does the default search for treasure which results in:

http://i28.tinypic.com/2eoa4ok.png

Only 3 out of 4 hitpoints left...

http://i27.tinypic.com/jf9314.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Targhan also loses 1 hitpoint - due to an attack of this nasty orc:

http://i29.tinypic.com/9ivj3o.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Targhan rolls a 2:

http://i25.tinypic.com/264ibmf.png

What shall he do?

[humble worm]

smash the unclean beast :mad

[john4p]

Okay:

http://i27.tinypic.com/118ixax.png

http://i26.tinypic.com/2zste0x.png

2 movement points left. Due to already having attacked Targhan can't search anymore.

Where shall he move?

[humble worm]

SS please

[john4p]

SS? I suppose you mean EE, right?

http://i31.tinypic.com/sqhykh.png

[humble worm]

actually my plan was for Elrond to heal the barbarian and then send targhan to assist mithrandir (I meant SS)... but you changed my mind (partially ;) )
EF please (or EE if you think thargan in the tunnel will still be seen by Elrond so that Elrond can heal him)

[john4p]

Targhan went EE because - even though Elrond won't be able to heal him now, he wouldn't have been able to heal him anyway, because the elf already used that spell. You can only use a spell once! (Probably after each mission they will be reloaded...)

http://i29.tinypic.com/2vv1jzk.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thorin rolled an 11.

http://i31.tinypic.com/2zsu0cg.png

http://i30.tinypic.com/5ebeqw.png

What shall he do?

[TheCyberDruid]

Attack! EEEEEA :D

[john4p]

Thorin runs and attacks the orc furiously from behind, but the evil creature still can defend:

http://i28.tinypic.com/2q88wet.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elrond rolled a 5.

http://i26.tinypic.com/17ae07.png

http://i25.tinypic.com/2nuq4uc.png

What shall he do?

(Clue: the current room has been searched for neither gold nor hidden doors/traps yet...)

[humble worm]

Ok, T please and then ESSSF thank you very much sir

[john4p]

ESSSF or WSSSF?

[humble worm]

ESSSF
I hope for a door somewhere in the low-right corner ;)

[john4p]

Ah, okay. Elrond finds 20 coins:

http://i26.tinypic.com/68u5c9.png

And then moves to the south:

http://i25.tinypic.com/23hac86.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mithrandir rolled a 3:

http://i31.tinypic.com/291gcnq.png

http://i26.tinypic.com/34y17xe.png

What shall he do?

[TheCyberDruid]

WNN and then H please.

[john4p]

No hidden door (maybe treasure...?):

http://i29.tinypic.com/oj2dl4.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Damn - that orc hurts our dwarven warrior badly:

http://i25.tinypic.com/10wo3ls.png

Only 4 out of 7 hitpoints left (note that Mithrandir also has a healing spell...).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Targhan rolled an 11:

http://i28.tinypic.com/zule84.png

http://i27.tinypic.com/1jpuyv.png

What shall he do?

[humble worm]

8xS and T please

[john4p]

Moved 8xS:

http://i29.tinypic.com/2uscx2h.png

But you don't wanna search for treasure because this message would then show up:

http://i25.tinypic.com/2vnkzeg.png
non canon scenario

Targhan still has 3 movement points left. What shall he do?

[TheCyberDruid]

Not sure if he can, but SSS and H.

[john4p]

He can - but there is no hidden door or trap:

http://i25.tinypic.com/8wcqoo.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thorin rolled a 12:

http://i26.tinypic.com/14imowl.png

http://i30.tinypic.com/iqc7wm.png

What shall he do?


P.S. Since no one did a full turn no one has to pause this turn...

[TheCyberDruid]

Try to attack the orc again.

[john4p]

*sigh*:

http://i32.tinypic.com/11uvs41.png

What shall Thorin do now with his 12 movement points?

[humble worm]

we have to tool him up
F please

[john4p]

Okay.

~~~~~~

Elrond rolled a 5:

http://i29.tinypic.com/282gz0m.png

http://i31.tinypic.com/fnvcqq.png

What shall he do?

[humble worm]

H plz

[john4p]

Hmm...

http://i28.tinypic.com/2dqvt5d.png

5 movement points left. What shall he do?

[humble worm]

Nnnww

[john4p]

Okay:

http://i26.tinypic.com/2wmp00n.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mithrandir also rolled a 5:

http://i26.tinypic.com/2utj42d.png

http://i25.tinypic.com/2nswd8k.png

What shall he do?

[TheCyberDruid]

Not much to do there, so SSEEE and T if that wasn't done there yet.

[john4p]

Only did SS because you'd definitely lose 1 hitpoint if you'd went east from here (unless Thorin would dismantle the trap with his toolkit):

http://i31.tinypic.com/2jblc12.png

3 movement points left.

Note 1: you didn't search for treasure yet where you just came from...
Note 2: next turn you could cast "Pass through Rock" on yourself and then move through the rock...

[TheCyberDruid]

Okay, then just W and F this turn.

[john4p]

Okay:

http://i25.tinypic.com/2a5gk7p.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The orc hurts the dwarf again:

http://i25.tinypic.com/ouaah0.png

Thorin only has 3 out of 7 hitpoints left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Targhan rolled a 9:

http://i28.tinypic.com/ar1ar.png

http://i27.tinypic.com/2ptnvq9.png

What shall he do?

[humble worm]

SWWWWT please

[john4p]

Targhan finds a potion of strength:

http://i28.tinypic.com/15qxkcm.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thorin rolled an 8:

http://i26.tinypic.com/1426buu.png

http://i30.tinypic.com/2eq8ghh.png

What shall he do?

[TheCyberDruid]

You know... same procedure as every turn ;)

[john4p]

Fortunately the orc was still asleep:

http://i28.tinypic.com/f07vxd.png

http://i26.tinypic.com/30hmqtj.png

8 movement points left. Where shall Thorin go?

[TheCyberDruid]

Finally! Okay EEESEEEEET then.

[john4p]

Okay (no T for Thorin though because he already fought this turn):

http://i29.tinypic.com/j759gz.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The elf rolled a measly 2:

http://i31.tinypic.com/2a4v0yd.png

http://i26.tinypic.com/1535pip.png

What shall he do?

[humble worm]

not much to do here... WS(T?)F

Cmon people, maybe somebody wants to join... gimbal?

I tell you, the thread is a perfect postmaker ;)

[john4p]

Yes, deuces suck...

http://i30.tinypic.com/2jetxkh.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mithrandir rolled a 5:

http://i26.tinypic.com/531y09.png

http://i32.tinypic.com/29b0k12.png

Remaining spells:

Swift Wind
Tempest
Courage
Heal Body
Pass through Rock
Rock Skin

What shall he do?


P.S. Just found out what Pass through Rock really means:

It doesn't allow you to pass through those fallen rock-fields on the floor but you may pass through any walls instead! Note if you cast this on yourself you'll be able to do it only on your next move. You may then pass through as many walls as you have movement points.

[humble worm]

you'll be able to do it only on your next move.
So the effect holds only during the turn after the one in which the spell was cast? I think it applies also to potions. I wonder what would happen if targhan drank his strenght potion and was attacked during enemy's turn.

[john4p]

The strength potion only has an effect for attacking (two extra attack-dice) - so he wouldn't benefit from it when getting attacked.

Btw., potions seem to work instantly:

http://i28.tinypic.com/rurafk.png

[kriz]

5x E - Nice thread man, this game is very cool and its the first time i see this done !! Cool :)

[gimbal]

what is the idea to do with the wizard at this point? Make him explore to find gold or let him go to the exit? I'd say he is too weak to use as an explorer at this point.

[kriz]

I think its just to get all to the exit now ? It looks cleared to me, maybe more hidden stuff though..

[john4p]

5x E - Nice thread man, this game is very cool and its the first time i see this done !! Cool :)Thank you. New player - great! :great

But here is a slight problem: 2 fields to the east there is a broken plate. Should Mithrandir step foot on this he WILL get harmed (-1 hitpoint):

http://i25.tinypic.com/wl8y8w.png

Mithrandir could cast "Pass through Rock" on himself and pass any wall next round.
Or he could move NN and search for treasure.
Or he could just wait for the dwarf to repair the broken plate (dismantle trap).
Or he could - of course - still just move 5xE anyway and just take the damage...

5 movement points left. What shall the wizard do?

[kriz]

Ahh i didnt see it, now i will check better next time..

Use the spell - Pass through rock and wait for next turn

[john4p]

Okay:

http://i27.tinypic.com/k0gc2p.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Targhan rolled a 7:

http://i29.tinypic.com/6ftx0k.png

http://i30.tinypic.com/10h11sh.png

What shall he do?

[humble worm]

HWWWWWF please

@john4p
do you know if the potion will be taken to next level/round? I guess there will be more demandig foes than these...

[kriz]

too late ;)

[humble worm]

@kriz
Sorry, I thought that (according to the rules) as you did previous turn (full) you cannot play the very next... am I right, john?

If not I will gladly withdraw the move

[john4p]

do you know if the potion will be taken to next level/round? I guess there will be more demandig foes than these...I'm 99% certain you'll keep any potions you find!

@kriz
Sorry, I thought that (according to the rules) as you did previous turn (full) you cannot play the very next... am I right, john?That's correct. Kriz has to pause this turn.

http://i25.tinypic.com/98r0vl.png

http://i31.tinypic.com/zmh7oi.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thorin rolled a 3:

http://i30.tinypic.com/sm5y7l.png

http://i28.tinypic.com/2yl92yh.png

Before moving the dwarf to the exit please keep in mind he has only 3 out of 7 hitpoints left and the wizard still has the spell Heal Body which can restore up to 4 hitpoints...

What shall Thorin do?


P.S. @kris: Now only humble worm has to pause. You can play again.

[kriz]

Can we just let him stay there, to wait for the wizard ? If so thats that i will do.

(Ah i didnt read all the rules, such a noob in this :))

[TheCyberDruid]

You could move towards him kriz :) Oh and welcome in our little play group :great ;)

[kriz]

yes, but im thinking he block the road again, the wizard have to get to the exit room anyway ..

Thanks, its a new experience to play like this for me.. Really exciting stuff !

[john4p]

Can we just let him stay there, to wait for the wizard ? If so thats that i will do.Of course we can!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elrond rolled an 11:

http://i30.tinypic.com/2emkc5c.png

http://i31.tinypic.com/vmxgyv.png

What shall he do?

[TheCyberDruid]

SSSESWWWSSS... I think that's correct ;)

[john4p]

Sure you wanna do the final "S"? Because after Mithrandir's turn the orc in the next room would attack our elf then:

http://i28.tinypic.com/244e25z.png

[TheCyberDruid]

Okay, one S too much. Just T or H (whatever is still possible) and F this turn.

[john4p]

Both T and H have already been searched for in this room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mithrandir only rolled a 2:

http://i30.tinypic.com/2aep9y0.png

http://i27.tinypic.com/28saetj.png

He can walk through any wall(s) this round!

Remaining spells:

Swift Wind
Tempest
Courage
Heal Body
Rock Skin

What shall he do?



P.S. I will be offline the next ~5 hours...

[gimbal]

S E

[john4p]

Welcome back, gimbal.

The wizard moves through the wall:

http://i27.tinypic.com/ip02z5.png

Mithrandir could still cast a spell...

Remaining spells:

Swift Wind
Tempest
Courage
Heal Body
Rock Skin

What shall he do?

[john4p]

Could someone just do "it"? ;)

No one would have to pause, you know...

[TheCyberDruid]

F please :D

[john4p]

"Heal Body" would fully restore the dwarf's health from 3 out of 7 to 7 out of 7 hitpoints.

Sure you don't want to cast it?

[humble worm]

I think TCD would really love to cast it :D

[TheCyberDruid]

Yeah whatever, cast that spell then ;)

[john4p]

Excellent move, TCD! ;)

http://i26.tinypic.com/2rgc6eo.png
"The spell revives you" actually means "the spell revives him" (the dwarf)...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Targhan rolled a 6:

http://i28.tinypic.com/15eb69j.png

http://i26.tinypic.com/2yllmqx.png

What shall he do?

[TheCyberDruid]

ENNNNA (you get the idea, so adjust the Ns if needed ;))

The barbarian is too scared to attack:

Being bored the orc turns away again:

What shall he do?

The barbarian is too scared to attack:

WTF? I think I know why I haven't played this game for very long until now...

[humble worm]

LOL! What a wimp... :laughing

[john4p]

@TCD: That was just my interpretation - of course he tried to attack. He just rolled 0 skullheads...

It should get better in the next mission when the barbarian has a weapon (100 coins should be enough for a small sword or something).

[TheCyberDruid]

Yes... great Barbarian! Conan would be proud... NOT! :banghead
;) :laughing

[humble worm]

double LOL - I thought it was the game message :laughing

[john4p]

Fortunately there is no such "event"...wait, maybe against the zombies in later missions? We'll see (if the characters and this thread survive)...


Thorin has 5 movement points left. ;)

What shall he do?

[humble worm]

I would send him to explore low-left corner of the map - I see not opened door in eastern tunnel
WWWWW(T?)


There is also an unexplored room in upper-left corner

[john4p]

Okay (keep in mind that the first character to reach the exit earns 100 coins).
While searching for treasure:

6 out of 7 hitpoints left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elrond rolled an 8:

http://i32.tinypic.com/13z9vzr.png

What shall he do?

[TheCyberDruid]

SSWA to help our wimpy barbarian ;)

[john4p]

The elf runs to aid his human companion and strikes just as effective as the barbarian:

Remaining spells:

Swift Wind

What shall he do?

Human-Elf-Orc Council
they're doing 0,5 l vodka straight from a bottle

Do you know what effects the courage and tempest spells have?

[john4p]

they're doing 0,5 l vodka straight from a bottleThe elf only sipping a bit at the bottle though. ;)



TEMPEST
-------

A small tempest is created which envelops one monster or player of your
choice. That monster or player will then miss their next turn.* The spell is
then discarded.

*the enemies' next turn will be right after Mithrandir's...



COURAGE
-------

This spell may be cast on any one player. That player may then throw two
extra dice each time he attacks, until the spell is broken. The spell is
broken when there are no more monsters visible to that player. The spell is
then discarded.



In the first post of this thread you can read the description for every spell ("list of spells").

[humble worm]

thank you

courage on dwarf and F please

[john4p]

Okay:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The orc flees from Thorin and tries to hide in the corner:

http://i28.tinypic.com/29o1img.png

But the other orc attacks and wounds Elrond:

http://i32.tinypic.com/2gxlc7r.png

The elf only has 4 out of 6 hitpoints left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Targhan rolled a 7:

http://i29.tinypic.com/nphnxs.png

http://i27.tinypic.com/a44t2r.png

What shall he do?

[TheCyberDruid]

Well... I give him a second chance ;) A the orc please.

[john4p]

Furious about the orc's attack on Elrond the barbarian slays him without mercy:

http://i31.tinypic.com/2uj2u6o.png

http://i29.tinypic.com/33tks3p.png

7 movement points left. What shall he do?

[TheCyberDruid]

Move him towards the stairs. EENNNNW(T?)

[john4p]

No T because he already attacked (but the place had already been searched by the wizard anyway):

http://i31.tinypic.com/2ms4q39.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thorin rolled a 5:

http://i25.tinypic.com/swtppl.png

He has 2 extra attack dice this round.

What shall he do?

[humble worm]

oh sweet revenge!
NNA please

[john4p]

The dwarf defeats the orc:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elrond rolled 7:

http://i32.tinypic.com/2myxfrr.png

http://i31.tinypic.com/4hdphl.png

This room hasn't been searched before...

What shall the elf do?

[gimbal]

hmm, he has only 4 hitpoints left... its a bit of a gamble...

1: search for treasure
2: move ENNN and wait (want to go to the stairs, but barb is blocking path)

[john4p]

Again Elrond finds gold:

http://i28.tinypic.com/140mc8z.png

He has 145 coins now.

http://i26.tinypic.com/2qi5l05.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mithrandir rolled a 2:

http://i25.tinypic.com/25pu1rp.png

What shall he do?

[humble worm]

WWH please

[john4p]

No hidden door or trap:

http://i31.tinypic.com/2j0iaz9.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Targhan rolled an 8:

http://i29.tinypic.com/2dcc2ab.png

http://i31.tinypic.com/331ow2v.png

What shall he do?

[gimbal]

NNWW for now. Perhaps more searching is wanted in the top-left of the map (hidden door in central-left yellow path).

[john4p]

Don't know if it's worth continuing (no healing spells, no weapons, no armors and no character at full health anymore) but you are the players... ;)

http://i32.tinypic.com/2cggftc.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, at least Thorin rolled an 11. So if you still wanna explore that'd be a plus:

http://i26.tinypic.com/2e31kc7.png

http://i26.tinypic.com/2lu9ouw.png

What shall the dwarf do?

[humble worm]

Oh I would go exploring, but I think mithrandir's assistance will be necessary... (he got tempest at least and rock skin I guess)

SWWWWWSSSSS(H?) please

[john4p]

Thorin himself already searched this room:

http://i26.tinypic.com/34o3ltf.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elrond rolled a 9:

http://i29.tinypic.com/10gfpub.png

http://i28.tinypic.com/10faxcw.png

What shall he do?

[TheCyberDruid]

ENNEF. I think it's time to go down...

[john4p]

Did you mean WNNWF?

[TheCyberDruid]

Yes, I meant the other east... the one to the west... *cough* :nervous

[john4p]

Okay:

http://i29.tinypic.com/2n17tx1.png

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mithrandir rolled a 9:

http://i31.tinypic.com/9rtyfs.png

http://i26.tinypic.com/2d7hg7q.png

Since he has 0 coins so far he would really benefit from exiting now...

On the other hand 9 movement points are enough to follow and support the dwarf.

What shall he do?

[humble worm]

jump to the pit (ES)

Ill turn the dwarf back if I play his turn

[john4p]

Nice:
