You're not technically in an encounter. Though they may search for you at this point, they may also just think it was an animal and give up.

The movement burrowing for a human is 0ft, because you must have burrowing speed to burrow.

Bssed on other research, powdery snow can be plowed through at about 1/4 hiking speed, walking was 50% saying burrowing or plowing is 25% is fair, so I'm going to let you push through your tunnel in this particular material at a rate of 120/4=30ft per 6 seconds.

Because you're not in an encounter, the limit doesn't apply.

In sand, no, you can't. In dirt no, in watery mud, yes but slower than swimming by half. In packed snow, no. In virtually any other material no unless you claim a burrowing speed and personally I don't like the mechanic. How can a monster "burrow" through dirt and rock at a number of feet per second?



I say no. Powdered snow, yes, at 1/4 movement if it's deep enough and loose enough.

Now, if said creature is in his habitat, expect that he/they/it/clownself could have a network of pre-dug tunnels and I will make a tunnel map in that case ahead of time. You may also do this, tunnels are a great way to get around especially when there is say, a dragon. But you will be limited to reasonable dig speeds, say feet per hour not per second.

Before I lead you too far astray, many digging monsters also have "tremorsense" so don't expect to get away with tunneling near a creature who has this.

Oh I see you didn't notice the batista, way worse than a ballista

Healthcare is broken here but insurance for Healthcare isn't. If you pay something like $1k or so per month or better, you're mostly ok.

We have things called PPO, HMO and POS then many many lesser plans and you can also get private care that bypasses insurance and you pay the doctor directly but they ain't no way going to cover emergency room visit.

HMO was the standard and it has low deductibles, under $100 usually and they pay for everything. Depending on the type, there are many, they also pay for in network or out of network doctors but that varies wildly.

PPO is a high tier service that sucks if you are doing normal stuff but gets you the best care because they allow everything. Only problem is the deductible is huge, as much as $10k. So having a PPO and HMO is tits. Even a Bear can't afford that.

Then there's POS, basically they nickle and dime you and try to deny shit and basically are a "Piece Of Shit" but waaaaay better than state or gov coverage as they really ream you and still cost over $1000/mo if you make more than minimum wage.

That's all I know. I get good damn insurance and I think it's something like 25k+ per year but I only pay a small portion of that and the employer pays the rest.

So it's like $200 a month but I het full reimbursement on top of that so I technically don't pay for instance at all. Big shot Bear.

They don't kick people out like home and business insurance does.

But as I said, most importantly, I get service fast, like if I had cancer, I'd be treated before leaving the hospital where like Canada you wait. Very low tier plans, you wait pleb. The only thing thay you're fucked if you need is a transplant because there's a waiting list for that.

My hospital bill was $88,000

Granted it cost me nothing and the insurance will negotiate that down to 40k, still. The surgery itself was 42k.

This is America, have a Cadillac plan or go bankrupt.

I gave you the movement you wanted per your diagram. I'm never going to intentionally be strict on movement and I like complications.

I usually try to stick to the grid but in cases where a finer movement is warrented, I use a circle of the radius of movement and either place the creature in the closest square or right where the line ended. I don't need to stay within the lines specifically.

In this case since you're not technically in a round yet, I gave you the movement you requested. You are now directly under the NW ballista hidden in the snow next to the corner. If you popped your head up, you could see down either line of the wall E or S.

Not quite to the square around the corner.

Part of my decision was based on a good roll you made for stealth and your high acrobatics skill.

Your current position leaves you roughly 50ft from the others, NW of your position, behind some trees that have visual line of sight of the Northern wall.

The group holds firm, hidden behind cover and seemingly not sensed by any possible beings behind the palisade wall. Alice moves North and remains hidden just under the Northern batista.



Yulya, Cat and Ashley do not know where Alice is since they lost sight of her but continue to monitor the walls and after a few minutes they see the head of a hooded humanoid.

[Hidden Rolls]

On the Northwest corner of the wall, it's the head of a hooded figure, and you see the glint of a brooch, Cat's keen eyes lead her to believe it could be a brooch similar to the ones the bandits wore, but visibility is poor and she can't be sure. In any case, at least one, probably more unauthorized personnel are occuping the area inside that wall.



The man looks around, down, sees some snow has been disturbed and then climbs back down.

Some creatures can burrow at a high speed, but I don't necessarily agree with that. Can you burrow through snow (your character) at a certain speed? Look at vanilla rules and then modify as you believe you can. I will review the move and adjust as I think is reasonable. If you're within a few feet then I won't split hairs.

I would at least limit your movement to "difficult terrain" regardless of the method you use to traverse it without some specific ability, like flying, to negate it. I presume you're not part gopher but even if you were they only travel a few feet a day.
As far as snow, it's not compacted, so you should be able to push yourself through at most as fast as you can crawl, but I'll have to consider that when I read your post.

Would difficult terrain and crawling and on top of that digging or pushing be slower than half speed?

You would think so, but in a lot of cases these penalties don't stack. I will look for evidence in the rules and if there is any wiggle room I'll make that determination based on many factors unknown to you in this encounter.

I would need to look at it to be sure but I'll take into consideration what would make the most sense and include some leeway because I had you check the gate (fence) where that wasn't your intention, so you will get a bit of a boost if needed. Especially since you didn't get any useful information from it.

Since I don't care about squares, you can jump 9 ft and that will count for 9 ft. So make your moves accordingly or presume 1 ft increments for movement and other things if you like squares.

>I did state that I was hopping to the edge of the palisade fence

I think I understand the issue now, the word "fence" is sometimes synonymous with gate in our local colloquial dialect. In the interest of "hardcore level" status, I'll just leave you where I put you. Honestly though, just going to the edge of the palisade wall and not looking for other gaps is safer but was a guaranteed fail. But you're only 75 feet ahead of the rest of your group at this point. Remember that the deep snow is considered difficult terrain. If you had said "the edge of the palisade wall" where it meets the mountainside then that would have been clearer.

>straight in front of the door like an idiot

I try not to judge your posts.

>Oh, I just saw they have ballistas

You better be careful then.

The gates hinge inward and where you're currently standing there isn't enough snow to hide, but you can either move north 25ft or south 15ft to hide in deep snow but you will disturb the pristine snow drifts and they'll still see you because of course everyone knows:

even if they can't determine the creature that made em, they can follow the tracks.

Looks like you'll have to use:

4D chess moves and a coordinated strategy

I'm looking forward to reading it.

Oh, I didn't realize you wanted hardcore mode. I'll try harder to defeat you then.

>not in front of the fucking gate



You should really be more specific in your moves then. Unless you did and I missed it.

>btw did you make files of the girls abilities at lv3 Joy

I will post them on the other site because I can't upload files here. They're kind of my files for me so much of it will look confusing by now.

My stupid 30" Rubbermaid broom broke and it turns out you can't get that dumb broom again. It was crappy but it did work.

Aint no way I'm getting a wimpy 24" broom, fuck that degenerate+ shit for soy boys. So I paid extra and got me one of them American made brooms made for strong American men to sweep up efficiently so they can get back to knocking up their barefoot women, the roast can wait baby, I just finished sweepin'.

A masterpiece of broom technology and design. Made of American hardwood and steel. Damn I wish I was 10 people so I could buy a dozen of these.



It's a heavy bitch, not the kinda girl you marry but she can take a lot of abuse.

>foot prints

She strategically left no discernable footprints according to her post.

>scripted event

She looked for cracks thoroughly and found none.

>only one left

I'll give this one to you but at this point one one who got help may be back in any moment

>can they smell the girls in a snowstorm?

There was once a bard who could smell girls a mile away, he told that to Bear with Ulla and Hali . Ulla's character in your timeline (not Summer) could inherently read minds and read what he did when he found the girls.

When they incapacitated him, Bear knew that he'd track them down, so they drained his blood  and burned him in a pyre and crushed his bones so no one could ever tell who was burned.

Goblins have a surprisingly good sense of smell, the males have especially prominent noses, wolves and other canids as well.

With the volume of air passing along with buffeting by the palisades, and since Alice doesn't have the rotting flesh of goblins on her, I would say most other beings would have a very high DC to smell you under these conditions.

Yes 5ft

Also keep in mind the snow in conjunction with the storm is equivalent to difficult terrain.
