Luis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful Friendship.

Looks like a good movie, I will add it to my list. Thank you.

DM Dougfan, can you turn on your PMs?

[DM Dougfan]

done. didn't realize it hadn't been on.

((It is possible, yes. There is an entrance to the wall walk on either side of the front gate. That's the only place you can't hide beneath))

Concerning Valdi's observation about hiding near the front gate in order to close it on the bandits, which I totally fughataboutit. My bad Is it possible for someone to simply hide behind one of the "open" gate doors when/if the bandits arrive? Or is the layout of this fort not conducive to that tactic?

Also, does this game grant a +1 to attack from high ground? That is why I mentioned Valdi fighting from there, figuring if he were enlarged he'd have a 20' attack radius and covering most of the open fort area. But again, I did forget about closing the doors...

Do any of the spell casters have any messenger spells they could use to send for help from civilization?

Me standing enlarged in the wagon may be our best option. The gates open outward meaning someone has to pull them shut from the inside, or someone has to be outside.

[DM Dougfan]

You guys didn't think I'd make this *that* easy, did you?

[Eran]

Are you really think that the doors swing outward? Because this is a very stupid construction, you couldn't able to barricade it from inside. Only a bar could hold the doors. Maybe the bar is also in outside?

[Vidar the Red]

If the doors open outward then we might have to check the walls to see if there are stairs on the outside... We might be on the wrong side of the fort

[DM Dougfan]

I did say that the fort is in bad shape. Especially since it's a trading post, not actually a fort
