Crystal Cave Adventure (OOC)

Did I? I merely meant to suggest that there might be more. You confirmed it. :)
Then you shoulda rolled better, shouldn't you have? :)
It is not the first time you have been down like this. You are tough and can get by... Maybe with a little help from your friends?

What are you trying to do? Presumably you are not wanting to just 'attack'? Are you trying to break free?

If getting free if what you seek, then go ahead and describe it with your 10.

Breaking free is the main goal. I don't know what good a sword is against these stone monsters. Maybe the blow gives me enough wiggling room to get out from underneath and make a run for it.

That would have been my advice, because...
... stone beats sword, most of the time.
Or Raynor answers your payer? Your call.

Read this after my last post. But it's ok.
Gonna wait for trailhead to continue now.

Perhaps Deoring will end up helping Roald - the opposite of what I expected would happen.

Unexpected is good. :)

Is Deoring attempting to keep the stone-cold baddies off Roald? If you so you can roll to 'protect' both of you, if not then you will be better able to keep yourself from harm, but Roald will need to make his own roll.

I don't see much active defence in your post, are you just toughing it out as you jog along? If so, maybe roll +CON?

Do I need to roll something to get to the forest?

The others have kept the heat off of your expedition, so, so long as they can continue to keep the gargoyles at bay, you will make it, no rolls needed.

Toughing it out. Deoring is young and impressionable. Roald said "Let’s get out of here. Follow me!" So Deoring turned to head towards him. He didn’t want to stick around with the gargoyles any longer than he needed to.

I want to do a roll to see if Albert knows any way to defeat or distract gargoyles. Is it OK to use a yes/no oracle roll for that?

Hmm... How would he know this? Build it in the fiction and we can see.

Is now the time to be worrying about that, though? You already know how to distract them (briefly) and are focused on getting away rather than defeat. If you are coming back, you could try do research in the meantime so you don't need to worry about them next time.
It would be more like a 'Very Unlikely' oracle rather than a yes/no oracle, but possibly, based on the fiction you concoct to back it up.

Oh, I didn't mean 50/50. I just meant a yes/no question. 'Very unlikely' seems like the way to go indeed ;)
Well, that's kinda why I figured I needed the oracle. It seems a bit silly to go "Albert thinks back to all the books he ever read and all the things anyone ever told him that could possibly relate to gargoyles" :P
It would be more like: "Suddenly, from the back of his mind, seeing the gargoyle flying sparks a memory". I assume that would be something to add after a roll, instead of before.

The only other thing I can come up with for Albert to do is run faster, and he's not particularly athletic.

Nope. Fiction First, then roll. If you think it is something that Albert may have rattling around in the sparks of his memory, then show us that, the roll will say how useful the memory is.

It would probably an INT or WIS roll (Spout Lore or Discern Realities, style) rather than an oracle, and come with all the risks of any other 6-.
He is above average STR and DEX. He may end up out of breath at the end, of course.

I added some fiction. I think INT would be the stat to use. Let me know if it's descriptive enough to create a roll.

The outcome is based on the fiction, so there is enough there to get some hints, but probably not a lot more unless you score a 12+.

The dice have spoken, and they say "Hell no!" :P

Double 1 he11 no!. :)

Hehe :D
