Sparky , frustrated seps forward and grabsthe hook and pulls stoutly to get it away from the Wight.


14:56, Today: Sparky rolled 4 DX using 3d6 ((1,1,2))

In reply to Sparky (msg # 338):

Sparky flies backward, the polearm securely in his hands.

Meanwhile the suddenly unbalanced wight falls face first into the barrel, where the minions try to stuff it.

He struggles to stay on his feet, which he manages to do...

13:46, Today: Sparky rolled 7 for DX using 3d6 ((3,1,3))

"Get the lid on, quickly!"

In reply to Dagon (msg # 341):

Aine shoves the lid on...

In reply to Aine Walsh (msg # 342):

And your objective is nearly completed - now to tie your rope around the barrel and hoist him back to Bertrand the Sage!

"Sparky, Aine, git th' barr'l tied up."  As he speaks, Aldous moves to check on Thorg's wound(s), pulling bandages from his first aid kit to bind up the cut.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 343):

Aine will look for some rope to tie the lid on the barrel...not having any herself.

Thorg gasps that he has rope in his pack.

In reply to Thorg (msg # 346):

Throg gets back a HP, and the thing in the barrel stirs.

Anyone have knot tying? Default is IIRC IQ-4

In reply to Narrator (msg # 347):

Aine tries to tye it, but holding the lid on makes her attempt clumsy in the least.

Here, let me see that, so right over left, then left over right.  Sparky ties a good square knot.


15:01, Today: Sparky rolled 8 using 3d6 ((1,2,5)).

Aldous looks up from his work on Thorg.

"I' dun wh't uh c'n do, needs healin'."

In reply to Aldous Hack (msg # 350):

"That is beyond my ability. Let us gather the prize and return above;
Surely the Inkeeper's wife is a wise woman of sorts."

In reply to Dagon (msg # 351):

"Good advice. Lets not dally with this thing."

"Yeh.  Le's go."  Aldous gathers up the pieces of his smallsword and helps haul Thorg (and his spear).

at their masters direction, the two dead men gather up the shaking barrel.


which way are you heading back?
to the ladderwell or to the stairs by way of the goblins?

"Stairs'll b' eas'er w' tha' barrel.  Thorg's go'n ther' an'way."

In reply to Aldous Hack (msg # 355):

Aine will light the way, from behind the leader.

In reply to Aine Walsh (msg # 356):
you make your way back
to the goblins lair.
"You again! What have you in the barrel? "

In reply to Tunnel goblins (msg # 357):

"An Undead. We are here to sell it to your master."

"No' th' goblins' mast'a -- w's 'e?"

In reply to Aine Walsh (msg # 358):

"We are a socialist cooperative. There are no masters here!"

[8 blank lines suppressed]

it has been a while, but you are looking to carry this up to the streets to take it to Bertrand the sage.

In reply to Tunnel goblins (msg # 360):

OOC: My bad, I was thinking that was the mages servant.

"Ah, wrong goblins then. just passing through..."

In reply to Aine Walsh (msg # 361):

Their leader pauses before you.
  "Inkeeper has arrangement.  You carrying barrel do not!"
