We see action coming out of the manor as we start out. Ten spearmen, a couple of men-at-arms, and a few carts and wagons. We decide to anticipate them heading to Lervin, so we can set an ambush at the bridge (B) from Lervin to Phandalin – the route with the best road. We guess…
RAW Grappling and Technical Grappling: Achieve a Dominant Position

GURPS Jade Regent: Kami vs Oni Smackdown Preparation
First thing that happens is that Hiro disappears (we lost a player). Second thing is Thumvar bursts into song. Cadmus determines that we can (a) see lots of spirits, (b) they’re very close to the regular world right now, and (c) they can ride-along and give us some knowledge as well as some of their…
