The cart is in the middle of the road, assuming that it is 15' x 10'. The road is 20' wide, with brush and woods marked in green (provide 50% cover). Also, there are X's marked for innocents on the map (women, children, unarmed or unskilled men).
1. Please let me know where you are on the road or riding on the carts... 2. Please give me Spot Checks.
I've marked Sir John and Joshua's location, and his spot check was a 19.
Let me know if you have issues accessing it...

"Yes! That is Tharn!" Speck affirms. "It was there where I left my friends, er., my other friends. My Circus friends! OH MY! I can't imagine why there would be so much smoke! It certainly isn't from the chimneys. The wizards cast spells to shoo away the chimney smoke when it gets heavy and settles. This must be much more serious, like a dragon! We must go there immediately. My circus friends may still be there and in trouble!"
Speck seems to have gathered up quite a bit of energy despite the traveling. At this point, he'd even dare ride on the back of the liontaur, jingling bone ornaments and all, if it meant getting to Thar that much quicker!
Speck doesn't wait for the formalities of introduction such as Marcas' or Rightenant Lucky's, but starts off towards the city, "Avast ye dragon! We'll put ye flames out once and for all! Ye'll sputter and spit no more!"

ooc Kgosi - 1- The metamagic Feats may be less use to the sorcerer; requires a full round action and possibility to be disrupted. 2- Kgosi has Spectral Hand but no Touch Spells... ??? 3- No rule probs as far as I can tell. Good from me!
....................
The brown-haired minotaur appears average for his size but still towers over most on the road at 8 and a half feet. His many weapons and gleaming metal armor are well-maintained and polished, and his mane and long arm-and-leg hairs are brushed and well-groomed. A hammer dominates the purple surcoat, entwined by a laden grapevine. "Greetings to the traveller", the minotaur rumbles, the voice soft and gravelly.
Marcas walks beside the lead Cart. "Let us escort this good merchant into town and discover if the Mages have everything under control."

Cedric nods, his reptillian head bobbing up and down at Marcas's suggestion. He listens with his keen ears for news on the wind.
OOC: Made a mistake on something, back to dino form for me until we level Listen: 30 Spot : 35
On Kgosi, I'd recommend Empower over Silent Spell personally, but thats just me. Empowered Ray of Enfeeblement is ugly.

The halfling saddles and mounts his faithful Tyco [revised based on Cedric's post].
[Please put me on Cedric wherever Cedric needs to be.]
The party leader takes a good look around. [Spot check 19] "Hey! What's that over there! No, behind the red dragon!"
Nirith Dahaka Wednesday June 3rd, 2009 5:55:49 PM
Freshed up Nirith follows the group (can't see the map...)
Working on Nirith's sheet (changing to 7th level monk - dropping all witch levels... don't like witches or don't understand how to work with them :-D)

ooc: I found access to the map.
Speck AC18/19 HP:26/26 Wednesday June 3rd, 2009 9:22:13 PM
OOC: hey, da map wasn't there when I entered me post. Must have showed up after I sent submit, and then I missed it. I can see it fine.
Presuming the cart is headed 'N', that is towards the top of the page and SJ is in front, Speck would have moved one or two rounds worth, or 40 to 80 feet in front, while the others are bowing and shaking hands and so forth.
Kgosi: I personally don't see how any wizard could pass up Combat Casting. Although it is the idea that the spell casters stay behind the front liners, that doesn't happen too often. :) Spell Penetration is great when fighting Drow or powerful dragons but at our level we may not see much of that. But if you are thinking of taking Greater Spell Penetration later, then I'd go ahead and keep it.
IC: Speck, marching on down the road some 60' or so ahead, suddenly turns around and squawks "Escort? Escort the merchant? No blasted TIME for that! He's too slow! We gotta move and move FAST!"
Lucky sees that Marcas is lying down still. "Hey! Sir Marks On Thighs! Wake up! What are you doing, lying down like that?"
[OOC: responding to your claim of 0 hp in your header! LOL!]
Surprise Round 1, What in the heck is that? d20+2=21 ; Thursday June 4th, 2009 5:49:58 PM
OOC = 1. OK, I see only Marcas' PC on the map... Make sure when you enter your position on the map that you do file/save and close, or it won't take your change...) 2. Speck, I put where I thought you'd appx be on the map... let me know if I'm wrong... 3 Steven, I'll send you an email "invite" for Nirith to edit the map... Let me know what your address is... 4. Troy, where do you want Cedric to be? 5. Cayzle, where do you feel like putting our heroic leader Luckie?
IC: The group continues reacting to the smoke, wondering what it all could mean? Luckie's trying to urge Marcas forward, while the others begin planning a hasty trip to the city.
However, their plans are soon interrupted by two bestial screams from a nearby tree. Two large humanoids, about 8' tall with draconic features, fly from a hidden position, surprising the party (Their Hide was a 21 vs. your spots... I didn't see anyone beat that roll...).
Both have reddish brown scales with dark spots. Their facces are decidedly dragonlike, with a long snout, mane of thick hair and small horns swept behind teir heads. Each has green wings that light yellow...
D1 and D2 fly and attack.... (I'm not sure yet who this is, since I don't know all your positions. As soon as you update the sheet, I'll continue this round...)
Marcasthai AC 19 HP 74/74 (SteveK) Thursday June 4th, 2009 6:24:06 PM
LOL!
Marcas stands with mouth agape. He never expected TWO dragon-like monsters so close to a city!
Kgosi Bhoku | AC13 | HP26/26 | Combat Map d20+6=15 ; d20+2=16 ; Thursday June 4th, 2009 6:57:26 PM
The day, thus far, was just like the last; on the road, traveling to destination unknown, one paw in front of another. A lonely wemic walks amongst a group of travelers, merchants and a what appears to be a group of adventurers, enjoying the brilliant sky, the scents upon the wind and his own thoughts. Being deep in thought and fighting the urge to slink off into the underbrush and find that delicious smelling deer, the wemic does not acknowledge the commotion and actions of the other travelers.
A moment after hearing the rumbling voice of another taur, a sharp, earthy smell fills the wemic's nostrils; large ears perk up as amber eyes begin scanning the nearby area.
What is that smell? Foreign and aggressive for sure. Able to stand out against smoke and minotaur.
His eyes confirm what his nostrils detected as two scaled creatures burst forth from the underbrush and trees. His mind races to figure out what type of creatures they are*. Without hesitation his paws move and words of arcanum are spoken...
Cedric [Dino] AC 22 HP 77/77 - | Character Sheet Thursday June 4th, 2009 7:11:41 PM
Cedric growls, looking for the enemies.
OOC: Sorry didnt realize we were putting ourselves on the map, added myself Cedric rolled a 35 for his spot last round. I'm not sure where on the map the enemies are, I may be confused :)
Well, let's put Leftenant Lucky in I11, since he was just talking to Marcas. Also note that Sir John, mounted, should take up four squares, like Marcas does.
Lucky swivels around 180 degrees -- "There! The red dragon behind that other red dragon! That's what I was talking about!"
AC this round: 32
Luck Points: 7
Spells Chosen (Not picked randomly seeing as Lucky is not as yet on a new Luck Quest):
0: Light, Purify Food and Drink, Guidance x2, Read Magic 1: Hide from Undead, Obscuring Mist, Bless, Sanctuary, Entropic Shield 2: Sound Burst, Inflict Moderate Wounds, Remove Paralysis, Aid 3: Bestow Curse, Mon Sum III, Magic Circle vs Law
Speck AC18/19 HP:26/26 Thursday June 4th, 2009 10:40:21 PM
OOC: ahhh. I didn't know we could update the map.
Is the current Module "To Help a Farmer" or should the title be change to "Up in Smoke"?
IC: "Holy Smokes!" Speck exclaims. "The forward scouts of the Dragon Army! Man the buckets! Put on your Red Shirts!"
To the civilians he shouts "Run! Duck! Hide! But don't Panick!"
