Re: [D7, Early Morning] Marei's Seven

[Theomore Tullison]

[Since you decided to make this into a clusterfuck where we don't even get to mount up before the battle...ain't gonna happen.]

[Benedict Marsten]

Round 1
Ben catches the knights blade in his chest, but the weak blow is absorbed by steel and leather. Before he can move a woodsman slams into him sending him to the dirt with a jar. Springing to his feet he ignores the haggard woodsman, wheeling on the real threat. He brings his sword up and across his body over his left shoulder and down hard on the would-be-knight, crunching splint and finding flesh. "
Fucking sot, ride a man down unhorsed! I hope you have said your goodbyes!"

Result: (If knight from the book) 3 Dos x 5 damage= 15-7AR= 8damage

Contingency Fatigue if knockdown or Attacked

OOC: Any man who raises his sword against the seven(or Marei) will get to use said sword as his grave marker. If the woodsman strike and then flee they will be attacked by Ben.

Round 2

The woodsman seizes an oppertunity to combine his assault with the knights. As Ben deflects the woodsmans blow with his shield arm extended, the knight brings his sword down onto the exposed arm. The blow pulls at Bens wrist and shoulder, but the armor and favor do their job.

Ben quickly returns the blow coming up hard across the knights abdomen. His sword cutting through steel, leather, muscle and finding soft insides. The knight reels back crumbling to the earth clutching his wound.

Round 2:

CD:7
Health: 1/9
AR:10
I/W/F: 2/0/2

Dunstan suffers a heavy blow to his shoulder, the knight's greatsword taking of a chunk of his plate armor and giving him a nasty wound. In the surge of adrenaline, however, the young Lord does not pay that too much attention and thrusts his lance to the knight's chest, with the intention of knocking him down from his horse.

OOC: Take 2 injuries

[url=Knockdown vs greatsword knight][/url]: 4d6k3 13 (Fatigue to ignore AP. DP to impose -1D on him)
Having succeeded in his attempt, Dunstan thrusts his lance once again, this time intended to hurt the man grievously.

[url=Standard Attack vs. Greatsword Knight][/url]: 4d6 14-2= 12 vs 5 CD = 2 DoS, 16dmg - 7AR (if knight from the book of course = 9dmg +2 since he is unmounted = 11dmg in total.

Round 3:
Lesser Action: Aim
Lesser Action: [url=Standard Attack vs. Greatsword Knight][/url]: 5d6k4 15 (If he doesn't stand up)

-II-: [url=Standard Attack vs. Greatsword Knight][/url]: 4d6k3 9 (if he does stand up)

[Reader]

[OOC: Dunstan, I think the extra damage for being mounted is applied before DoS, so you'd do 20 Damage, not 16

He's in brigandine - decided full plate wouldbe too much = 20 Damage - 8 = 12 damage, takes two injuries to reduce it to 6 and just remain standing]

[Jon Cobb]

OOC: Umm, wow, this fight is a bit messy right now. I'm not even sure what round it is?

As I understand it, the initiative order and any declared actions for round 1 are as follows:
[url=Baelon][/url],
[url=Jorah][/url],
the five longsword knights attacking various targets,
[url=Dunstan][/url],
the greatsword knight attacking Dunstan,
Jon (no actions declared yet)
the woodsmen knocking down some of our party, the rest winding up for an attack round 2,
Kevan (no actions declared yet)
[url=Ben][/url],
Theo (no actions declared yet)
and Ser Lionel, who engaged Jorah in single combat.

So, if I'm getting this right, since Dunstan hasn't declared that he's altering his first declared actions (per the link above), his actions [url=here][/url] would actually represent his actions in rounds 2 and 3?

Also, Reader, I PM:ed you yesterday with some questions about the fight which I feel need answering so we can start getting a clear picture of what's going on. It includes such questions as who among Lionel's boys are actually mounted.

Round 1

AR: 8
I/W/F: 0/0/0

Jon has barely finished speaking when the enraged zealot knight is on him, chopping viciously at Jon's head with his sword. Too slow old man, a woman's voice in his head taunts, as Jon brings up his shield to deflect the blow. He manages to catch the brunt of the blow, but the knight's blade scrapes across the surface of the shield and strikes Jon's helmet with a clang. Jon's vision darkens momentarily, but he doesn't panic, instead letting his combat instincts guide his actions.

Seeing that the knight has overextended himself with his overhand blow, Jon bats his sword aside with his shield and delivers a ferocious strike with his mace that breaks off the lower third of the knight's shield, before powering into his side, crushing the steel splints of his armor and grinding them into his body. That's it! Even if he lives, he'll be coughing up blood for weeks! a new voice exults. The force of Jon's blow is such that the zealot knight reels backward, opening up a gap between himself and Jon.

Lesser Action: [url=Attack Knight][/url]: 8d6k5+3 30 - sorry, should just be +2, so 29 total
Damage: 13 (5 x 4 DoS = 20-7 AR = 13 damage) plus -1 Defensive bonus to knight's shield (assuming he stays in the fight)
then,
Lesser Action: [url=Maneuver Knight][/url]: 8d6k5+2 22 - 1 DoS
Effect: Knight takes -1D on all tests for 1 round, and is forced back 1 yard into the path of the 4 woodsmen who are currently not engaged

Round 2
Screaming a Faith Militant war cry, the stricken knight surges forward again, but Jon easily diverts the attack and then crowds him with his shield. He delivers a quick blow to the knight's head, momentarily stunning his foe, and then follows up with a second, solid strike that caves in the knight's helmet with a satisfying crunch. The zealot collapses to the ground, stone dead.

Bringing his shield up, Jon moves to engage the four woodsmen, who are clearly shaken by the speed with which their best warriors are being struck down. The first man Jon engages doesn't even manage to react before Jon's mace slams into his face, tearing his lower jaw right off. He collapses with a gargle, blood pouring from the ruin of his mouth and throat.

Contingency fatigue to ignore AP in case Jon is attacked before his turn by any NC knight except round 1 opponent

Lesser Action: [url=Cautious Attack vs. Knight][/url]: 8d6k4 16 - 3 DoS, assuming CD 6 (base 8-3 AP = 5+1 damaged shield);
+3 CD for Jon until his next turn
Damage: 8 (5 x 3 DoS = 15-7 AR = 8 damage) plus -1 Defensive bonus to knight's shield;
this should definitely defeat him

Baelon takes the knight's sword strike on the arm, but his armor absorbs the impact.

Effect: 3 DoS x (5+2) - 7AR = 14 damage

[Round 2

Jorah - pulling people from a mount is a greater action - are you taking fatigue for that?
Theomore - if you don't like the way this is being handled I'm happy for you to just sit this out Erroly Flynning against one Knight and One Woodsman in a stalemate.
Just waiting on Ser Kevan I think?

Ser Lionel Darry - takes 20 damage from Ser Jorah, -8AR -1 (1 injury) = 8 damage

4/12 health remaining

Ser Lionel - his steed circles Ser Jorah as the two clash in a whirl of steel
Round 2 action
Lesser action [url=Attack jorah][/url]: 7d6k5 21-1 for injury = 20 = 5 damage per DoS
Lesser action aim

Greatsword Knight - reeling from Dunstan's blow and at Death's door, he attempts to cut his war free
- less action [url=maneuver dunstan][/url]: 5d6-2 18 - he forces Lord Dunstan back
- spends 1 fatigue
- greater action to stand
- spends 1 fatigue
- moves to a horse]

[Reader]

[OOC: Baelon - in round two the knight you're fighting takes two injuries = 1 health remaining.

He remains standing but is then driven back by your manuever and then YIELDS on his initiative as a greater action, throwing down his sword and shield and kneeling]

[Ben: your opponents in round 2

Knight
- Delays to get an assist from the woodsman

- Is then defeated on your initiative]

[Reader]

[OOC:

Jon Cobb - you also take out a knight over two rounds -

By round 2, that's three knights down (Baelon's yielded, Ben's - defeated, Jon's defeated before he can even act again in round 2)

plus whatever Ser Kevan can do in two rounds. If he takes out a Knight in two rounds, that's all 5 regular knights accounted for, as Ser Theomore is "
Flynning"
against one.

Leaves me 5 woodsmen to resolve (one is flynning against theomore, another is assisting against Ser Ben)

Suddenly this looks like resolving reasonably swiftly!]

[Kevan Lyras]

Round 1
Minor action: Mount up
Minor action: Attack woodsman (who should be near me, as he tried to attack me.) As he is not mounted, I get a bonus for attacking (+1b to fighting, +2 on damage)
[url=Attack R1][/url]: 7d6k5 24
Damage: 5 + 2 from being mounted = 7 per DoS

The attacks from the enemies posted by reader should not affect me

Round 2
Attack if somebody near me (woodsmen preferred, otherwise knights)
Move towards nearest foe, if nobody near me
[url=Attack R2][/url]: 7d6k5 14

I spend 1 fatigue to ignore armor penalty if this helps to not get hit

[Theomore Tullison]

[Pfft, since Theo specifically is in the rear I spend a destiny point to invoke the quality of being surrounded by meatshields, horses, allies, etc, so that they don't manage to move to be adjacent to him, and knight needs to attack past cover. Though I'd argue that Theo's sense of self-preservation would ensure that without use of destiny points.]

That's 5 damage per DoS, it's against CD of the mooks, if I did not spend BoA in round 1, I do so now if that means I get in an additional DoS on them. Targets 3 Woodsmen, 2nd and 3rd has +5 and +10 CD respectively.

Ser Kevan, your results.

Round 1 = 4 DoS = 28 damage - 7 AR = 21 damage - feel free to narrate a suitably messy end for your foe, albeit you're not using a vicious weapon so it doesn't have to be fatal.

- Ser Theomore's destiny point certainly stymies the knockdown ruse, leaving the attacks merely deflecting off his armour
- Ser Theomore Hits for 3 DoS without BoA or 4 with it! = one very DEFEATED knight

Who needs to Flynn? With Theomore and

- Woodsmen break on Round 3 as Theomore tramples 3 (!!), Kevan kills 1 (round 2) and so does Baelon (on round 3), but get to take their round 2 actions as they beat Theomore on initiative. Ben's foe gets cut down by Ben's passive fighting check of 20 = 3 DoS = 15 damage

- By round 3, everyone is fleeing expect for Ser Lionel.

We have - 4 defeated regular knights, 1 yielded knight
1 fleeing greatsword knight of quality fleeing on horse
- 6 dead woodsmen, 1 fleeing on foot

- Ser Lionel duelling Ser Jorah - do the rest of you dogpile in ]

Jorah - pulling people from a mount is a greater action - are you taking fatigue for that?

I was doing a knockdown action if that was legit in this context

That hits me for 10 damage -9 leaving me 8/9 health

[Kevan Lyras]

Description Round 1:

Kevan steps back from the unsuccessful attacks from a knight as well as a woodsman and mounts his horse. From this advantageous position he swings his swors in one vicious attack splitting the skull of a leather clad enemy.

Another woodsman hacks at the mounted Lyras knight but his weak blow gets absorbed by the massive armour

Round 3

The terrified woodsman swings franticly at Ben his blows easily glancing off his shield. Ben turns side ways his sword held low behind him. As the woodsman moved in to Bens opening, Ben turns on his rear foot coming up behind the man with a upward swing cutting deep across the back. The fool flies face first into the dirt, unmoving.

Ooc: Ben is holding unless able to catch cowards.

[Baelon Drakeson]

OOC: I have not written/rolled a round 3 yet... but you have him taking out a woodsman? Unless that woodsman was an active threat to him, Baelon would have instead gone after the greatsword knight.

[url=Attack on Ser Lionel Darry round 3][/url]: 6d6k5 22 replace 3 with the 5
which makes his round 3 roll 24, so 4 DOS = 20 damage
