A saving throw is with a D20. You need to roll the number that your saving throw is or lower. If you have a saving throw of 7 then you need to roll a 7 or under. Plus or minus any modifiers that the GM gives you.
Nei will think about the caltrops and remember that Caltrops is a common defense against charging horses or a defense to keep horses from entering a area or to make them go a desired path for a possible ambush or other diversion.
I see that it was a good thing I had Lionel double check...
KNtoran, I have a question, was Lionel was still a part of the main group when guarding the caravan was first considered, as I can't remember? If so I plan on Lionel putting two and two together (if it is the same caravan you're are talking about that is), is that okay?

This question is to the players mostly. I am wondering how long we should wait for Rentok. He mentioned that he was thinking about quitting. Now it's been awhile and we've not heard from him. I can take over as party leader and treasurer if I need to.
This is not my game, so I only wish to suggest the following.
I read a lot of people wanting to have some action but they are 'stopped' by the veteran Players who are not active enough. Therefore, might I suggest that one of two things should happen:
1. A new Party Leader is appointed and just drop the old group and go with those that want to participate
2. Kntoran, based on his schedule, could possibly run a background scenario for the other group or in other words two can be going at the same time.
If the party Leader is not posting and has not posted for a while you can elect another leader to post. All I need to move the group of active players is a post from someone telling me who is doing what. Anyone not mentioned will not be taken into account.
For some reason I think the newer Players do not see that as an option. If you look in the Player's Thread you will see various replies of them wanting 'someone' to do something to have action.
One thing that slows it down is sometimes players want to post ideas. They post a thought or a suggestion but no actions. So then the idea or whatever is tossed back and forth for 3 days. If we could get players to post actions with their thoughts or suggestions it would run a lot smoother I think. It would also be more realistic I imagine.
This last pause we've had was because our party leader never returned after the holidays. Perhaps Rentok is coming back sooner or later but I have taken over party leader for now. I don't see why I would be unable to post the parties actions reliably.
I used to be the party leader but my computer had some issues for a while. After that I was dealing with a lot at home for a while but that's passed. Rentok was doing a good job and I had no real strong desire to be party leader.
Anyways, I can take over as party leader. If the others want to vote or have a strong desire to be party leader I would have no problem with that.
