Might as well put on shield, use staff for offensive spells, use dagger for killing paralyzed hippogriffs. GM: Ack. ----------------------------------------------------------------- [New Stuff] Sepes 42, in the 163rd Year [TH] Location: River Sch (E) Riverbank, Zen'da Plains, 270 Miles North of Asichi City, Heading East from River, around 1pm [Turn 7: Phase 2 to Turn 12: Phase 2] GM: A full 5 phases pass. A minute of time. In that time Caladan continues to fire his unique bow.20 times. Three of those shots hit while 17 miss. One time he was in so much concentration the arrow sliced his finger springing from the bow. A stream of red is seen on his hand after he quits. He wounds #4 for 4 points and re-wounds #8 for 3 more points. The third shot did well wounding #6 for 7 points of damage. At last Caladan stops, he lowers his bleeding hand and wipes it on his tunic. With his other hand he wipes a stream of sweat from his forehead. His face looks flushed and tired. In this minute the Hippogriffs get 1,800 feet closer and now at 1,150 feet to go. [Turn 12: Phase 3 to Turn 15: Phase 2] Hippogriffs make it another 630 feet. By now instead of one group they begin to be distinct forms. They taper off and some head to the right and some to the left. Some begin to take high into the sky while others continue straight ahead. Distance: 520 feet. By now archers raise weapons for estimates when to fire as they finally get within reach. [That was the fast way of doing things to save space. During this time other folks do things...] [Thig, Xian, Trembyl recast their spells for the last time.] [Turn 10: Phase 1] GM: Based on emailed actions from Jordi the spells he casts start at this point as I figure it. [Jordi casts the first o a series of spells.] [Each phase - Purification, Luck, Speed, and finally Concealing Mist.] GM: Based on your emailed actions you said to move on toward the creatures on horse. But you'd have made it by the time they got in melee range over 1000 feet going forward and way beyond the party :). So I'll just move you to the east on the map since guess you didn't realize the amount of time I posted (32 phases) in the previous post. [Jordi's cocnealing mist is 15 feet around him and the horse which completely surrounds them. Its also about 15 feet into the air] [Phases pass...] [Turn 15: Phase 2] [Hippogriffs Start at 520 end at 430 from party edge] [Turn 15: Phase 3] [Missiloe Fire - ] [Hippogriffs now around 430 feet.] [Caladan fires his composite bow again...he aims and fires at #9 which is already hit 3 times. He hits doing 4 points of damage. The hippogriff spins in the air and lands in a skid on the ground. It doesn't get back up.] [Trembyl and Xian fire their arbalests at extreme range. Trembyl misses but Xian hits doing 6 points to #3.] [Turn 15: Phase 4] [Missile Fire -] [Caladan fires again but misses.] [Movement - Hippogriffs now at 340 feet] [Turn 16: Phase 1] [Missile Fire -] [Caladan fires again but misses.] [Balrog and Unali fire slings but miss] [Movement - Hippogriffs now at 250 feet] [Turn 16: Phase 2] [Magic - Strie'bog allocates mana fore a fire arrow] [Missile Fire -] [Caladan, Balrig, Unali and Jordi all fire but miss] [Movement - Hippogriffs now at 160 feet on average] Actions?

Sorry for delay. During storm monday lost power a few times so couldn't finish. 2. While this update seems small you'd be surprised the amount of math and book keeping. HUGE amount of time. 3. Hippos are now on the map. 4. No one but Jordi has posted a movement plan so positions of characters remain same above. 5. Path of creatures will go left (south), right (north), straight at party (west), or take a high flying and then downward dive. 6. I guess I should've made this more simple and had them appear right away :) But this distance thing has done a few problems. 7. I wait here as they will move 9 hexes per phase. So keep this in mind. They will be within melee attacking range likely in the next 2 phases. If you wish to change any actions at this point let me know. 8. Chion for your plan you need to tell me when you enact and any other specific details. Which phase? Hex? I will do 2 phases for each update from now on. I could go 1 phase if its needed. I'm sure once they get close enough it should go faster as many are already wounded. Half are wounded. Man for some reason this one was a tougher one trying to coordinate all the actions and ranges, etc. :)
