Okay, so should I take the second roll to be a WIS one, and add another roll for the healing spell? ^^;

You got him that time, using WIS.

Yay!
So that's a yes to adding a healing roll too?

Liadan will have to heal him next round, since she took two attempts to get him this round. The spell doesn't take long to cast, but does take a few seconds. But his final HP doesn't tick off until the end of the round, so she will be able to act before he dies.
I guess Baldy will roll STR next turn then. (And Cadell, Keit, hang on for dear life when she does!)
Oh… and if SP's letting Cadell exalt again, he should sing THE TIMING SONG!

Ah, good. ^^
*hopes nothing happens before Liadan gets the chance to heal him... like, say, someone failing a STR check and dropping Batos and/or Liadan into the sea!*
EDIT: On that note... grabbing Batos with DEX is one thing, but lifting him with STR is another. If I try to lift him and fail, would that nullify my chance of healing him? Or should I heal first, lift second, just in case?

Or a fish demon rising up out of the water to grab them both.
Or Baldhart hitting Liadan's head on a rock in the middle of her spell, while trying to drag the rope back up

Baldy ain't moving until the dog is healed. If holding steady with three people on the rope requires no check, I'll do nothing.

No check needed given the number of people holding onto the rope. You won't have any trouble holding Liadan there, or hauling her and Batos back up, for that matter.
What?! You mean I wasted my once-ever use of the million-sided die from Brynhild?

Nuts!

Um, okay... why is Mauve jumping off the cliff? Does she plan on turning into a fish-demon and eating the evil ones? I hope that won't cause trouble for the others, especially those in or near the water...
If Baldhart could go back in time and rewrite her prayer, she'd change "evil wizard" to "insane wizard." What is that silly Mauve up to now? Guess I'll know in six seconds (a.k.a. tomorrow).

On first read, I actually thought the "evil wizard" bit was referring to Aldar. ^^;

Those things are not mutually exclusive.

. . . So, I think Matthew will be returning soon ((I still haven't received a reply to the PM I sent to Steerpike days ago)) So I'll share some brief insights from how catching up on months of Dragon's Egg in about a week works.
-You realize how different time passes for us vs our characters. Seriously, I was gone half a year and the time that's passed is . . . less than two days! How is that possible?
-Because of the above we forget things we shouldn't have. Do you know how aggravating it is to see Baldhart hear about Tommen, Dalla, and letters and not immediately make the connection with the letters found in the tunnels? Come on! It was only a insignicat piece of knowledge, metioned in three posts, 200 pages back, but I remember it perfectly and so should Baldhart. You notice a lot of this when you read it all at about the same pace the characters experienced it at.
Anyway now that I have some knowledge most of you likely don't remember here's a quick "Did you know" list to refresh the Memory of some things. You may remember some but I doubt any of you remember all of them.
-Matthew recruited Aliron and Mauve originally joined because Matthew took her prisoner.
-Baldhart made a vow never to speak to a party member in anger . . . sorry Baldhart you blew it there.
-There was an agreement that Burnbright would receive religious training from Matthew.
-Mauves first act in the game was attacking the Party.
-Matthew was among the first one to attack during the “Wolf Tickler” incident and shared the last kill.
-When we rescued the Dwarves there were three dwarves, one of which died in battle, the other went home.
-Aliron was not part of the original group and did not fight fish demons in the first battle ((I’ve seen mentions of both in the main thread))
-Muave made most of the party agree to her conditions of joining.
-When Matthew didn't fight in the fourth battle he had been ordered to stay back with Burnbright.
That all for now. Perhaps some of you should consider rereading the whole game too. Note that this is very time consuming. Anyway hopefully I'll rejoin soon, and if my plans are approved by Steerpike ((I haven't even sent the idea to him yet)) then my character should meet with the party again in a few in-game hours, which should end up being a month or two for us.
Edit: Wow, this post was ninja'd four times, that's the problem with long posts.

If you mean her shouting match with Mauve, Baldhart stopped considering Mauve an ally the moment she refused to help or even consider it. She was on the fence when Mauve used magic to sneak Ankari to safety when Baldy was about to charge him.
(I'm glad Mauve did that. Baldhart is not.)
Baldhart doesn't even see herself in a party, so much as traveling with a bunch of individuals with conflicting agendas. That said, the vow was not to speak in anger at an ally (that's what I intended—not sure what I typed). So party member or not doesn't matter. She needs to mind her manners with militia men as well, even if she knows about the warding sign one made at the site of Nissa.

I forgot about that first battle.
Mauves first action was to injure herself wasn't it? Or did she make the save? (failed magic)
Looking forward to your return:
"If we must fight in daylight, its best to have a knight to join in, and our knight has fallen into royal darkness."
I don't remember when Mathew Bladehawk left. Was it in the tunnels?
Of course Aliron feels similar to Baldhart, traveling with individuals with the same objectives but so many different beliefs on how to get there. Distrust for all, but only three does he even considers friends. Bressel, Baldhart and Mauve. Both saved his life.(Possibly all three, but Bressel was in a different story)
Aliron doesn't need a bonus, consistantly when Aliron asks for blessing on his arrows, they usually hit afterwoods. I think the blessing failed once out of four times.
Maybe he should ask blessing on his blades?

Actually, she was trying to hide from them, but kept failing in her spells and the flash of light gave her away. She hurt herself in the process, indeed. In the end she was cornered in the cellar and tried to kick a barrel on Rydh. Naturally, the kick was good but she somehow failed and ended with her foot stuck.
I remember those events fairly well, and what came after. I also try to keep notes, so I don't need to dig through hundreds of pages in search of something. I didn't kept a note of Mauve's conditions, however, and didn't remember how well she covered all her bases.
*wink wink*

He stayed behind at the temple with the children of Skilrind. I've planned to have a runner come to Matthew saying his presence was requested for a trial ((That being the one about whether to burn Branwen or not, there were several mentions of bringing Matthew for that)) and thus with my calculations, arriving back at the group sometime early morning. It is, of course, up to Steerpike to decide if that works.
@Legendary Sidekick: My mistake, it was "Ally". But even then it seems that Baldhart talks to a lot of her allies harshly, even if 'ally' was somewhat questionable at the time. Maybe I misread it though
