Also was more of a Marvel man, but sure wish I had picked up Camelot 2000....

<t>Enjoy your trip! I've been "enjoying" extra time at work, so a bit slow on the posts....<br/> <br/> Orvyn invites the lads to the local pub, where he grabs a seat with his back to a wall, orders a pint of the finest (grog? Mead? Beer?), sits back, and looks for a nice view to enjoy while imbibing...

Wrote 'fines' instead of 'finds' in the above sentence....

Oh, you mean in Of Gods.... Sorry, don't have it. Yet.

Sfunny the paths this little project has taken and what folks wanted out of it.

Me, personally, had I my druthers, I'd have liked a game that started out with a class construction kit, with the current classes as examples as to what could be built.

For the CKG, right?

Sounds good to me, although not really my forte.... (more background with hacking & slashing....)

Doh! Yes, after 8....

I chase after #7, and strike if I get a chance. If nothing else, I want to force him to the top....

Init d10: 10

d20: 19+1 (STR) = 20

dmg (2d4): 4+1 (STR) = 5

"You're not getting away that easily, vile creature!"

Curses. Well struck Aldwyn.

I attack #8 with my broadsword.

init (d10): 7

To Hit (d20): 12+1 = 13

<t>Or go with "Folks [players], these are new classes. I haven't figured out exact EPP, so we're going to wing it for a while and you'll level up around the same time as the other characters...."<br/> <br/> unless all your players pick the new classes....<br/> <br/> ....in which case, go with "Level...

Initiative: 3

I bull rush #5, trying to get past him while trying to pary / swing if the opportunity presents itself.

d20: 8

While not C&C, Akrasia has done some house rules for a Sword & Sorcery style of tame. Old school, so should be easily adapted for C&C...

"Aldwin!"

I back up (Ka) trying to distract the Goblins (poke with my bow...) while drawing my sword and doing my best to avoid being hit. (partial Evade while drawing a sword?

Languages: Common

<t>Doh! Looks like I'm in a bit of hurt....<br/> <br/> "I could use some help here!"<br/> <br/> Guess I have to figure out if I run, swing my bow at 5 and then run, pull out my sword, or.... If not skewered before my turn.... Or read up on evasion techniques in combat (Dodge?) while backing up, pull...

Unless something dramatic happens before my turn comes up again, I let fly against goblin #5.

d20: 7 +2 DEX = 9 , which I assume is a miss....

Init for next round (d10): 6

Orvyn initiative: at the end of my above post: 9!

Another player: sounds good to me. As long as not another holy man....

I think I like the weapon-class specialization....

Also seems like a situation where multi-classing could help....

<t>I let fly against the one who seems easiest to hit, or if equally easy: bow wielder first, then spear, then short sword....<br/> <br/> From what I can tell, #6 is the easiest to hit (unless #6 has a shield and #1 doesn't, then it might be easiest to go after the one with the bow....)<br/> <br/> d...

My plan is to let fly when they get a little closer

d20: 3+2 Dex = 5! (for some reason, I don't think I'll roll damage...)

Initiative for next round: 4

Thanks for the offer -- just don't seem to ever find time for 'live' online games.....

Let's head to the top-left tower.

While we can probably take it, there is not need to kill the creature.

Orvyn thinks it best to back down the stairs....

Top right.

(DOH! Post got lost....)

Orvyn stands guard.

And checks for trap doors.

If nothing eventful occurs, Orvyn recommends that we head to the closest building and explore it...
