With torches crackling in hand, the companions proceeded into the entrance of the cave.

:ooc: I have updated the map in Roll20 for your visual.

:ooc: that is why I set up the Roll20 virtual table - so you guys could see and interact with how your PC (token) is advancing. I can just continue to add situational pics, if that is easier.

Eclecticon

Arbogast casts his torch before him, marking as he does the shifting of the air inside the cave and the hissing of the flame as it strikes the floor, as if the lair itself were reacting to a sudden and unanticipated pain.  He takes his position beside Grimbeorn and, striking axe on shield, cries out "come, curs, and face our fire if you dare, else slink back forever into the darkness beneath the world!" 


:ooc: Arbogast will start off in Forward stance, and kick off with an Intimidate action.  I'm happy to target the wargs if that's all that's there, but what I'm really trying to do is knock some points off the Lair score. 

Let's see how we go rolling Battle...

Arbogast's taunt seems subdued by the cave - instead of echoing and amplified, it was as if the challenge were swallowed whole.

Not wanting her friend's cry to be alone, Esgalwen also yelled out.

"Be ready foul creatures, the might of the Noldor is before you, still allied with the Blood of the Faithful! T'is a day of ruin for you, lest you run."

Esgalwen, too, was muted.

In his torch light, Morirúsë could see a shadow move in the faint glow. It was massive, like that of a horse.

While he stared at it, two wargs raced in to attack on his companions.

:ooc: WOW!

I am not sure this is the best plan for these heroes...the dice are just killing it, so far.

• Esgalwen is hit with a 23 :%: :%: for 18 :<3: loss

• Grimbeorn is hit with a 25 :%: for 13 :<3: loss, and must make a protection test TN 14

 :ooc: I thought Defensive Stance with the shield had Grimbeorn at greater than 25, like 27.

Never mind, that's with Defensive fighting action included.   :roll:

 :ooc: where is the map on roll20? I've never used it before. Defensive stance.

The elfwas quiet and patient, two traits he had seldom personified.

THE GAME MUST GO ON!
