Stuff every single item I find into the sacks as I go no matter what it is, find the ogre and very politely tell him to follow me then head straight off the battlefield as fast as I can whether I find him or he follows me or not.[1] Juba finds nothing as he [3] hurries along the tracks and spots the half ogre just as it begins to run off. [4] He begins sprinting through the battlefield after him glancing back, Juba spots several heavily armored figures lumbering after him.
Onwards![3] Soon, Derm finds the path leaves the forest out into an open plain. [3] In the distance, he thinks he can see what looks to be a stone wall.
Keep.[3] Gweg continues to chase after the elf who seems to have stopped and is now looting a nearby corpse. [3-1=2] While running Gweg only manages to find a sack. [4] He glances behind him and realizes he is being followed by a human.
Running.
FAST!
(Grab any loot I come across, I'm seriously in debt.)
Creepy. Just like the time when I was up in Oratay. That place was weird. Hang on to the spear for throwing and check out the halberd. What's it made of? Is it sturdy or just fancy? Anywho, attempt to discern the source or direction of the "thundering". Grab some armour while I'm discerning.Atla examines the halberd, [4] it seems to just be a sturdy steel halberd. Checking around him he notices several heavily armored soldiers heading towards him. [1] Too distracted by the approaching figures he fails to grab any armor.
Falvich just wants out of this damn place. But, wait...What's that? Is that a wizard's corpse? Oh em gee, it must be relived of it's objects of value! Who knows what would happen if a WIZARD ZOMBIE arose, shrouded in HIGHLY MAGICAL ROBES with DOZENS OF VALUABLE, ENCHANTED RINGS and a staff of +6 MURDERING? Gods above, this elf must SAVE all those poor, potential victims! By...Looting! By the way, he'll loot without running. He's far enough away, he can take his time. If that guy gets closer, just shout out something like "I'm just a poor peasant m'lord, trying to escape this gruesome battle which, miraculously, I survived! Please don't harm me!"Falvich goes utterly batshit insane and starts looting a nearby wizard's corpse. [6+1=7] He snatches up two unidentified rings and [2] a sack. He glances around and notices the half ogre hasn't gained on him but an old foe has. Three of the heavily armored figures from before are approaching from his left.
"My loot cries out for the vengeance of my other loot, which can only be repaid with at least twice as much loot! Or maybe three times as much loot! Like if you went to heaven, and it was full of loot, and that loot was on fire, and it was raining loot, then maybe that would be enough loot! Eh... but probably not."
Groz sniffs the air. "Storm's acoming. After looking for any other valuables - magical or not - he scurries away from the thundering.[5] Groz grabs a ring and a robe from a nearby corpse and begins to move away from the thundering, checking around he notices a couple of heavily armored soldiers moving toward him.
Find the survivors!
Onwards! To the left assuming I came at the trail perpendicularly!Derm turns and heads down the path to the left for some time [2] not making much progress, but progress nonetheless. [1] Derm sees absolutely nothing of note... except some trees.
"Oy...This can't be good...and there's that coward..."Gweg begins running toward the figure [2 vs. 3] but fails to gain any ground. Gweg calls out, "Identify yourself, I do not wish to kill you but I may have to if you do not respond!" [2-1=1] While running Gweg fails to grab any loot.
Chase the figure. Request that he tell me the phrase used to denote his identity, unless he is curious as to the structure of the Afterlife. Not in such fancy words.
If possible, grab loot, because my dedication to not grabbing stuff when it doesn't make sense to has left me under-equipped.
Falvich will push onwards, and get out of the battlefield!Falvich hears a voice calling out from behind him "Identify yourself, I do not wish to kill you but I may have to if you do not respond!" [4] Falvich continues running through the battlefield, [3-1] failing to get any loot as he does so. He should reach the edge of the battlefield next turn.
But, while doing so inthemeantimehe'llstopbyandgrabanyvaluables such as, but not limited to: Magical trinkets/scrolls, jewelry, coins of any kind/etc.
LOOT, man.
High five!! You're so cool.[3] You give your golem high five and begins searching for armor, [4] He finds no retrievable armor but he does find a nice halberd.
Search for better armour, even though I'm technically made of it.
"You need to walk the other way, fella."Calling upon his magic [4-1+1=4] Groz twists the figure's feet around at the ankle [1 vs. 6] the figure trips and falls to the ground and impales his heart on a nearby sword.
Reform figure's feet so they're on backwards.
Follow the tracks and continue gathering equipment.[2+1] Juba continues to follow the footprints and hears a voice calling out in the distance. [6-1=5] On his way through he manages to grab 5 sacks from some nearby corpses.
Turn round and head back into the battlefield towards where I saw the half ogre earlier, continue gathering equipment on the way and look for any other survivors, but do not head to far back into the battlefield.Juba turns away from the meadow and heads back through the battlefield, [1] through his trek he finds nothing, no survivors, no equipment. He searches the general area around the half ogre's position [1+3=4] and notices a trail of large footprints.
Call out to the approaching figure.Groz calls out to the figure, "Greetings, fellow flesh! Come to partake in the pickings? I thing I got everything I need here though; you can have the rest. Except for any shinies. Those are mine." Seemingly enraged the figure raises its sword and charges toward him shouting "You bastard!", though the figure appears to be limping. [3] Quickly Groz snatched up a small ring and placed it in his pocket. The figure should reach him by next turn.
"Greetings, fellow flesh! Come to partake in the pickings? I thing I got everything I need here though; you can have the rest. Except for any shinies. Those are mine."
Search around for any rings, bracelets, necklaces, amulets, etc, that might be around here. Use magic to see magic items; collect those first.
Keep heading outwards. Keep Harquebus at the ready.[5] Derm hurriedly climbs back down the tree and begins moving his way through the forest once more, Harquebus at the ready. [4] Soon after, he finds a small nondescript trail.
Pat my golem on the head. You're such a badass dude.Atla pats his golem on the head while calling him a badass. [6] The golem raises his hand with his fingers splayed out, he seems to want a high five. [1] Atla is too preoccupied with his golem to try leaving the battlefield
Find a way off the battlefield.
Falvich will leave this battlegrounds! Looting on his way out, of course. Aim specifically for magical items/money/good weapons to replace his old, junky ones.Falvich ignores the voice calling to him and runs while he is running he grabs [6] 3 [5+1] exceptional daggers, dropping his other junky dagger on the floor. [4] He should be out of the battlefield in two turns.
Do I hear the thundering? If so, try to figure out what and where it is. If not, call out to the figure again.Gweg no longer hears the thundering, but it's too late to call out to the figure, it has already ran off. Suddenly, the booming returns. [2] He turns and looks around but fails to spot anything. [4] It seems to slowly be coming closer.
[oldman]Now listen here, sonny, I'll leave this here battlefield when I please, and not a moment sooner![/oldman]Fine with me... I'm not forcing you to leave.
Search the area all around me for more equipment or anything else of use.Juba stops and begins searching for more equipment [3] He finds another glove which he pulls onto his other hand. Then as he treks on, the fog dissipates, and Juba finds himself in a large meadow, devoid of corpses.
"Hello there. Who are you and what are you doing?"Gweg calls out to the crouching figure...
Chase figure if he runs, counterstrike if he attacks. Otherwise, chat.
Walk further from the fog, climb a tree, and attempt to see where I am/anything of note.Derms pulls further away from the fog and [5] quickly scales a tree. [3] Scanning his surrounding he spots a small meadow, but can't see anything else over the taller trees.
Wear that unidentified amulet and hood while getting two eyes and another skin. Then look around to see if anyone's there; people usually don't like it when Groz harvests corpses.Groz takes the amulet and pulls it around his neck and nothing happens, it seems to just be an ordinary silver amulet. He pulls up the hood and searches for another corpse to take eyes and skin from. He finds one nearby and [4] quickly plucks out its eyes [6] and somehow ends up getting two times the skin from one corpse. He glances around [1] and spots something or someone nearby, it appears to be approaching, with a slight limp, sword in hand.
((Yeah, me too.))Atla searches for a weapon to equip his golem and orders it to do the same. [4] [4] You each succeed in finding an iron club. Which the golem takes, one in each hand.
Find a weapon for the golem and order him to help you do so.
Falvich will slip into his newly acquired gear, and try and crouch somewhere out of sight, and observe what's coming.Falvich quickly slips into his gear and [3] crouches behind a corpse, [4] he glances at the approaching humanoid who calls out, "Hello there. Who are you and what are you doing?" The humanoid stops, but... the thundering continues...
