<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG>Questions:</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>GM, you mentioned that the light from the fires
illuminates the 3 targets on the ground. Can we now see the flying monster
also?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does Ben'Dar know that Balrog is in the
darkness? Does Ben'Dar know that something is attacking Balrog? (Is
Balrog calling out, or can Ben'Dar hear the scuffling of the fight within the
darkness, etc?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG>Actions:</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ben'Dar grasps his spear and staggers to his feet
as quickly as he can, his ruddy face dark with anger.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><EM>If answer to Balrog/darkness questions is
<U>yes</U>:</EM></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ben'Dar will climb onto Tef'wo's back,
watching the sky as he does so. He is ready for another swooping attack
from the creature in the air. If it attacks again, he will impale it with
his spear and smash it into the ground to let his horse stomp it into the
dust.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If the flying creature is not near him or if he
can't see it, he will focus on the moving patch of darkness. He will
assume that whatever is causing the darkness is at the center of the darkness
and that it is pursuing Balrog. He will also assume that Balrog is still
facing north, since that is the direction he is moving. Ben'Dar will kick
Tef'wo into a full galloping charge toward the center of the darkness. At
the same time Ben'Dar will shout to Balrog, in Marentian, as loud as he can,
"Balrog, run forward NOW!!!"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ben'Dar's plan here is to try to position
whatever is pursuing Balrog in between Ben'Dar and Balrog, so
that Ben'Dar's charge will hit the creature and not Balrog. A risky
plan....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><EM>If answer to Balrog/darkness questions is
<U>no</U>:</EM></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ben'Dar will stagger back to his bedroll,
leading Tef'wo. He will grab his bow, dropping his spear to the ground at
his feet. He will try to shoot down the flying creature.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If it flees, Ben'Dar will climb onto Tef'wo's
back and pursue, shooting arrows at it as he goes.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
