I think I would have a better chance of hitting it with my weak noodle arms if Martha manoeuvred around so it faced away from me. When I missed with the coin did it fly above the wererat or go straight vertical from the sling?

More or less straight vertical from the sling (You rolled a 1). I briefly thought of having you drill yourself in the foot but rolled to determine direction and that's what came "up".

Hey you were the one who pissed him off! There was a small chance that this might not have ended in violence, but with someone appearing on his literal doorstep with what appeared to be a member of the town guard asking exactly the 'wrong' question? Well you've seen what happened next. Shame really, this guy might have been able to tell you what was going on. As it is you know him only as rat face.

Well I guess I had better move on my turn anyway so that I don't KO myself when the coin comes down.

So are we setting him on fire now? I should probably grab another bolt to be safe and keep fighting. So i am guessing CP and Bolo will go for the rats while Shadeoses will try and set the wererat on fire?

And, as it came up, I don't use a critical success/fail system as such. Rolling a 1 meaning you always miss and rolling a 20 meaning you always hit skews things enough, statistically. I just use the dice to help tell the story. For instance if rat face had rolled a 20 when he hit Aello for 8 damage (which was max damage for him btw) I would have considered the possibility of the removal of an extremity. Had the tables been turned (and it was a monster getting thwacked) then it was totally a decapitation. Hope this makes sense.

So did the wererat only have a longsword and a robe? I suggest we give the longsword to Aello - it could be magical

Aello is more of a greatsword fighter - although that could change.

Do candles give much worse light than lanterns, to the point it makes hitting things or spotting enemies harder?

The books (PHB p.102): Radius of light Source illumination Torch 40' Lantern 30' Bullseye Lanthorn 80'** Magic Dagger 10' Magic Short Sword 15' Magic Long Sword 20' Candles aren't listed but 5' is considered appropriate. The main issue with candles is how easily they are extinguished.

We're in a cottage filled with stuff that we aren't particularly attached to, can we improves some torches from furniture, curtains and oil?

Yes. A torch is so simple even an ebil could do it. I'd recommend using what's left of rat face's robe and some random tree branches but if you want to trash the cottage... Cartoon fucked around with this message at 11:10 on May 6, 2014 |

Just to be clear this cottage and land are outside the city area? Does that mean that we can just squat or lay a claim officially? It seems the land would be more valuable than anything else. If we want, we could bury the excess copper in the chests and come back for it later - especially if we make this our base. Freudian Slip fucked around with this message at 11:56 on May 6, 2014 |

The cottage and the land are outside the city walls in what could technically be called the rural land surrounding the city. This bit is the start of the forest that climbs the foothills to the mountains and becomes the tree line. Lower down are fields and such also outside the walls. I'll post a map to make this clearer at some point. To your question. Someone owns this land and the cottage*. Burying treasure in chests has worked before. It has also failed before. I suppose there must be some boundary further up the mountains where things get more ad hoc but this is just outside the wall.

Actually how far is it from the start? It seems like the granary from here through the tunnels was only a few hundred metres right? How about we leave the mage here to guard the money the four of us carry as much as we can without encumbering ourselves dump the coins back at the granary. Leave Bolo there and the three of us do as many trips as it takes?

Call it 1 200 ft (400 meters). You can take around 4 000 cp a trip if everyone pitches in. Also *giggle* at the coin pile. Got to love them old school treasure tables. Cartoon fucked around with this message at 12:05 on May 6, 2014 |

I could just carry a delicate amount of coins and set my hawk to watch the cottage and come and tell me if any minotaurs come to loot it, right?

It ends up being worth about 90 gold, we'll probably lose 5-10% of that to a money changer unless we bank it under some kind of company trust account.

The cruelty factor goes up the bigger the hauling distance is, so from here it's pretty good for a few hours work. The cruelty come in when you walk for two months, kill a dragon and discover 10,000gp in coppers.

I don't mean literally guarding the house - I meant that she could watch the house from the tunnel exit and run and yell if she sees anyone.

 This map might make things clearer. The city is on a spur of a mountain with two valleys beside it. These lead to a single valley which is also where the mountains meet the plain. A wall keeps the plain animals out and is surmounted on both sides by the ranges that make up the far sides of the two valleys. At the edge of the mountains is a steep cliff that is at least 20' high. A similar cliff also surrounds what is called the harbour on that map. I'll develop better visual aids as time permits. The 'round' bits in the valleys are both lakes.
