Nice... Wife has The Walking Dead (AMC series) on downstairs. Had to sit there and watch it while we were eating some supper (she's trying to multitask so she can get to bed a little earlier tonight...).

Then I come back here to this! Creepy.

hehe, my wife's been watching that too

Damn you, initiative roll! Damn you all to hell!!

Damn you, work firewall filters that won't let me see dice rolls! Damn you all to hell!

(What's our roll? A 1, I assume?)

Close! Rolled a 2

Not sure how, but I totally missed the part where Cash growled and looked up at the tree.

I was very tired last night. Working on articles for the newsletter I write (St. Louis Woodworkers Guild), at some point I realized I was typing out the questions my wife was asking me instead of writing about who was doing a presentation on beading planes at the next meeting...

That's when I went to bed. The members of the guild don't need to know why I don't like a particular photographer for our baby photos...

So a big oops there! I'll try to pay more attention to Cash in the future... if there is one.

Yeah, at one point you started talking on here about the zombies you guys found in the MAC PbP.. hehe

Jaral receives +3 to hit bonus for dexterity, and additional +1 for short range. We are now six yards from tree if I remember correctly.

Should I add this to my posts, or trust you to add it in?

EDIT: +3 is actually +2 from dexterity and +1 halfling missile bonus...

*switching to another d6 as this die is cursed*

I can add it in I check every time anyway, so either way is fine.

Everybody take a look at the marching order when you get a chance, and let me know if you want to change anything.

Marching order looks good to me.

Nice shot Ducats!

Edit - just noticed AC in rules section. I believe Jaral's AC should be 2 with the Dexterity bonus.

quite right! I started writing them down without the bonuses I listed, but then changed my mind, but forgot to redo yours. doh!

Did I?? Wow, I really must have been tired.

If we're going to have Reeks and Brooner carry torches, we should spread them out in the group a little. Maybe have Reeks after Jaral? I don't know what the quality of light that Caby and Jaral would need to see ahead would be after being filtered by four people and a dog...

There would be a lot of shadows dancing around if the only light was at the back.

I'm game for placing a torch bearer behind Jaral in marching order. My hope is that Jaral has enough steel strapped to his body to slow down any attackers bent on reaching the thief and cleric.

Since I don't use a shield, I could carry a lantern - I don't know how much archery is going to be possible inside the tree....

Since LL uses the same 1 attack per round system for players, yeah, I'd do the +1 to hit when using two weapons. LL already increases damage for two handed weapons by using the variable damage dice.

This probably isn't an ideal situation, since LL uses 10 second rounds instead of 1 minute rounds, thus making combat less abstract. I'd rather do it this way though than giving an additional attack each round but having to put shifting penalties on both the hit rolls. From personal experience learning about Florentine (using 2 weapons) in SCA, it really doesn't worsen your 'aim' or ability to hit your opponent at all, but instead gives you extra little opportunities to hit them, at the expense of being a much easier target yourself.

Another thing I learned from SCA is that shields are vastly undervalued in the math of DnD.. to make it realistic, a shield should help your AC by at least 2 or 3 instead of just 1 point. But.. that's a whole different exercise.. heh.

Certainly, we'll go with whatever rules you want to set down, Mike. I was just tossing the possibility out there for Cole in case he hadn't thought about dual wielding.

Oh, and if you want to give a +2 or +3 bonus for shield use, then... by all means, do so!

By the way, Llama, Cole, and Chaos... something to note from the two baddies we took out so far is that they weren't undead - just evil things that probably eat people.

*whew*

I can handle that.

I hate undead movies... 28 Days Later was one of the scariest movies I'd seen in a long time - zombies aren't supposed to run that fast!

I'll have to keep that in mind

Do we know that they were themselves the maneaters? I may have overlooked a post.

No, not for certain. But they were pretty varied in shape and size, as were the tracks. I didn't think to look at their feet to see if they matched any of the tracks.

But it seems logical.
